Up at fyvayem to beat traffic so we can slide on snow for a few hours. Then tacos. Then sit in traffic for a few hours in a futile attempt to return to the casa.
Study. Maybe K1 then study some more.
The things I have learned about using trusts to avoid paying taxes... I fucking hate rich people. There are things that literally create money when used together properly - all 100% legal. You just need a few million dollars to start with.

DSO was barking lots at 1230 and then again at 0100ish.
Tired.
edit: wife reports it was two foxes playing in the snow outside that got the DSO riled up.

today is remodeling the RV garage day, plywood is going up on the walls to stiffen and give a mounting surface to mount pack-out plates for a sleeker method of tool/parts storage while proportioning weight behind the axle.

still no hard parts from Ducati, 4 weeks and counting

Any idea how they stole it? Is it an older car without immobilizer and they forced the door locks?
You mean toques? Or actual sleds?
Oui oui, monsieur
Sometimes I even set them up with ski sticks.

Yesterday I found out The Canadan speaks French. It makes sense, him being a Newfie and all, but it’s just apparently never come up in the 15+ years I’ve known him. Ya think you know someone…
He is the least Canadian Canadian EVAR
But we might be going to Squamish if Perú is still a mess, if you want to join.
But Perú will ‘probably’ be fine by then, and maybe even cheaper and less crowded at Macchu Picchu.

We should “get a room” for this convo. Jaja!
Is this good news or bad?
Definitely bad.
I hope they left your CD's at least.
looks like they stole it for the handicapped plates. Had the plates stolen two halloweens ago too. And I think I’ve had the hang tag stolen before.
You can get away with obscene amounts of sarcasm if you say it with a smile and occasionally throw in a “praise Jesus”.
Rode early, was cold-ish and humid. Bread is in the oven. Now deciding if I should make myself a cup of coffee or open a beer. I suspect that "yes" is the correct answer.
took down Xmas tree yesterday. cleaned a portion of the house. buddy and his gf came over for sushi dinner, drank some port. slept like a rock. packing some Xmas stuff away, gonna hit the trainer and probably the climbing gym.
I swear I’m gonna go mud that drywall any minute now. But first, reminiscing about a stellar ski day yesterday…
Amazing pictures @Full Trucker
Far be it from me to understand the criminal mind, but wouldn't it be easier just to steal the plates without committing the whole car thievery part? I mean , I know parking in LA is a bitch, but c'mon.......
Meh™
brings back memories of the first snow the first time i moved to colorado in breckenridge....when tiger road was not full of mc mansions...
Continuing education and weight lifting today. Coffee first. Maybe a ride later.
Why do you hate freedom?
What @Pesqueeb said. Seems like just taking the plates would have been far simpler, but I'm just a simple caveman lawyer.
I hate tax law that it written to benefit .01% of the population to the absolute detriment of the rest of the population. I'm in the range of society where it makes sense for me to think about having a trust for forward planning. It will save my family nothing at the end of the day, but make legal process easier. Honestly, most people should have a simple trust (vs. a will), as it's well worth the cost, especially if you have kids. It's the below shit that pisses me off.
Example: Let's say you have $3mm of AAPL stock in a non-retirement account. You want to diversify it, so that you aren't at total risk to AAPL. You set up a Charitable Remainder Income Trust (CRIT) and move all of the funds there. Depending on how much you intend on distributing in your lifetime (you can do a jt life, single life, or up to 25yrs), you can take a taxable write-off of up to 75% of that amount. Because that money is now in a charitable trust (that you control), you can now trade the investments with no capital gains tax. And you can decide to distribute oh... 10% per year. But what about your kids? They will be upset that you're not giving them their inheritance! Not to worry! Just setup an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) for $3mm. You can use part of the $300k/yr you are distributing from the CRIT to pay for the $5mm insurance policy up front and just pay the gift tax on that smaller amount. Because the ILIT is no longer part of your trust, since it's irrevocable, it will not impact your lifetime gift/estate tax, allowing you to transfer $5mm to your kids for (after the CRIT deduction and ILIT transfer) for ~+$250k to you. You literally just made money out of thin air by setting up trusts properly. You only need a couple of million dollars to start with. Sure, the trusts might have cost you $25k, but who the fuck cares? You just made $250k.
That's what I'm getting at.
