Morning Monkies! Hope you got your share of VD goodness last night...
Yesterday was Valentines Day. I gave my wife a nice bar of Organic dark chocolate and she bought me bacon.
Another 12" of snow is on tap for tonight. I need to get out and enjoy some of what we have now before I start shoveling again. Snowmobile trails should be groomed and riding good by Sunday, hopefully.

Well the 17 mile Butter Gap route I had planned was a bust...Got delayed at the house when I got home so not enough time..
Ended up doing a 8 mile route around the Bent Creek section of Pisgah which is 5 minutes from the house. Then Thai fo Dinner.
On another note Mrs. Dirtrider has been demo'ing a few different bikes in the larger wheel sizes. She currently rides a Specialized Safire 26" and got a taste of the big wheel cool-aid this weekend when she rode a friends Trance and Crabon Evil Following. Well the Crabon Following happens to be for sale, and just so happens to be in her size, and just so happens we bought it. Most expensive V-Day evar.
Coffee in hand. As you were.

My coffee is strong smooth and black, an optimistic start to the day. forecast is for 66* and sunny, then tonight it starts to rain again straight though to next Wednesday..booo
I already received both refunds. That's how I roll.
Mornin!
Made the wife a lobster, scallop, shrimp and bacon risotto last night. Finished that out with some ice cream over a warm brownie and some sex. Pretty solid effort.

i think i've got most of what i need, should get started on that soon.
For Valentine's Day, my wife worked late like she does every night during tax season, while I tended to the household stuff like I do every night during tax season (making dinner and lunches, doing the dishes, tending to the dog, etc). All of that after my 60 minute bike trainer session though, which means I finally got to relax at 9:00. Up early this morning for a 2500 yard swim before work. The pool was dead, which is always nice. Poop time!
Also, having gotten coffee at this particular gas station in the past, I knew it is shitty coffee. I got a large cup anyway, and sure enough it was a lousy cup of coffee. Go figure! I ain't picky when it comes to my coffee, but Jesus Christ.
Y'all motherfuckers need brokerage accounts.Good morning. I'm going to work.
Fortunately, I *think* I'm gonna owe the gubmint... so there's no hurry for me.Good morning. I'm going to work.
Witnessed the best thing ever this morning. Dude in a Nissan Rogue was coming onto the freeway, with a foot of snow still piled on the roof. Buddy there tapped the brakes which caused the entire slab of snow to slide down onto the windshield and knocked the wipers into the erect position, forcing him to pull off the road. AWESOME. I betcha he cleans his roof next time it snows.

Thank you for pre-empting that one.
I bet you he continues to be a lazy schmuck. You know I'm right.Witnessed the best thing ever this morning.

Yea, that. Mine went towards a "correction" from an audit.
Too bad he didn't slide off the road and flip his vehicle over.
the longer you wait the more unsellabru it becomes
yea, thats why i think i need to force myself to make a decision.
Meh. Maybe I'll accomplish something today, or maybe I wont. The immediate future remains hazy despite espresso.
Metal roofs are awesome. Unloading from the last snowfall.
That's my plan annually. However I took a tax loss and our side income was lower than expected this year, so we might actually be getting money back. That is never my plan, I prefer to pay my taxes at year-end. My to date best has been $16k and I loved (hated) cutting that check because interest.
Wait. Quarc is still around?
Morning Monkeys.
Field trip today, yay. The rain has returned with a vengeance, but rumor is it will be semi-nice this weekend. Taxes should come in about the time to purchase a moto... See if the boss caves or if she will make me sell the car first.

Unless you're truly balling with a $160k+ tax burden that has to run afoul of the 10% estimated tax rule and thus have a penalty, no?
I don't like penalties.
Just filed myself. CO monkeys, recall that colorado.gov/revenueonline is the free way to e-file. Don't pay TurboTax to e-file state. I'll be getting ~$2600 back from Federal, ~$700 from state. I've already adjusted from 4 to 6 exemptions on the W-4 so should be closer to even next year.
The greatest part of this was figuring out my wife's net income from her side businesses. This is after the home office deduction for the room(s) she uses.
TurboTax says my audit risk is high. Ruh-oh. Is this irrelevant since the IRS has already accepted my return?
State and Federal aggregate plus it includes FICA from when Wifey was self-employed. Different rules in that case, but we were really, really close to penalty that year.
Looks like you are well on your way to having yourself a sugar momma!Unless you're truly balling with a $160k+ tax burden that has to run afoul of the 10% estimated tax rule and thus have a penalty, no?

rip matt davis....fuck cancer.
So, in the interest of not going dirtmcgirk/stinkyboy on myself, I'd decided a couple weeks back, with encouragement from my wife to seek counseling again. Anger has been an issue as well as a great deal of apathy and/or depression. Found a shrink online, set up an appointment, cleared with insurance, yada yada. Got here early to do the whole paperwork thing, nobody in the office, door locked. Hung out in the parking lot, no new cars. Still nobody in the office. First session was supposed to start about 10 minutes ago. Feels like this is a perfect illustration of how my mental state of mind has been lately.
Fuck it. Bought new running shoes at REI on the way over. Going to go run in Garden Of the Gods. Kill list just grew by one.
