My lathe crate was bashed in badly in several places, I made the freight carrier wait while I opened the crate and inspected the lathe very carefully. Luckily I didn't find any damage to the lathe itself.
The way freight carriers treat our expensive stuff make me want to break their bones sometimes.

that sucks, I'm not familiar with Lathes in any shape or form, but that looks like a part you'd want showing you something you'd like to see. [and is expensive]
sat down and done our taxes this morning,,,,, jezus, man,,,,, you know they gotta government up the questions just enough to make you screw yourself somehow.
it took me 45 minutes [and about 27 stress smokes] to dig back through the stupid computer program far enough to find the yes-no question that was costing me a bunch of money by not allowing me to take a couple of deductions.
once I found it and made the change,,, blip, suddenly they owe me.
state taxes were just as bad, but by then I was in the swing of things and found an extra 200 bucks we normally don't get after sifting through 75% of the offered forms.
then I got to pay almost 200 bucks for the privilege of that hassle.
after another 20 minutes of back and forth, and finally removing the 150 dollars worth of junk the wife kept trying to tack on so she could get some money a little faster, I finally got it through her head that they weren't even gonna accept any tax forms until February,, and she wasn't speeding nuthin up except them making more money off us doing our own tax returns.
[jeezus, it ain't no wonder these companies make so much money,,,, dumb people]
I'm about [] this close to going back to picking up the forms at the post office and sitting down with a pencil and some paper again.
OH. my favorite question?
did you receive a stimulus payment?,,, and how much was it? did you receive a second payment? and how much was it?
hmm,, can I Lie on this one and receive a second set of payments?
don't they know what they done with the money?
I mean isn't their job to track my money for me?
oh well, took the G-boy over a root beer and Jax went over to get some play time with his dogs.
she immediately took their toys and piled them up, ripped the mastiff/great danes neckerchief off and tried to start a fight with the pitbull just to entertain herself in the first 5 minutes of being there.
at least she made herself useful and put all the chickens back in the coop when she finally got kicked outside.

No, sir, they are just returning to you what they shouldn't've had.
Turbo Tax
Cast 100 454190s from the Lyman single-cavity I bought from Paul via Brad. It's not like I need them -- still waiting for Ruger to fire up a furnace and start producing the combination .45 ACP/.45 Colt Blackhawk. Occasionally my mind drifts and tells me I ought to consider something else, instead, but, darn it, I want one.

mmmmhmmm.
still [shrug] I ain't sitting in someone's cubicle pointing out the deductions I need to take [cause they have no clue] then writing them a check for 400$, before driving home 75 miles in a snow storm......
you know right after we stop at ''a few places around town'' [which is good for another 2-300$] and have 30 dollars worth of lunch.
a little aggravation and 200 bucks puts me ahead 4-500$ in the long run.

Nothing to prep for concerning something I won't watch. Would be like deciding you want to witness an atrocity.

Downloaded my 20210 Turbo Tax Premier program today! Now My wife just has to do her job of manipulating the numbers!
Been using the downloaded app for more then 12 years and have saved a bundle (will not do the online version that is supposed to be free.... rather have all my data on my computer not their's)
Every year I install it and it picks up the important data from the previous years return so that saves a bunch of time!
Now that we have a rental property besides our own home we had to switch to the Premier version ($58 vs the old standard of $29 ) but it is worth every cent! It finds all the legal loopholes so you can use them to your advantage.... If I paid agency to do that it would cost a heck of a lot more! Plus it certifies the return before you e-file!

I wrote this 2 yr ago ......... Actually I plagerized it from links to assorted US Archives and published articals added a few words .....
History repeating ?
William McKinley (January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901) was the 25th president of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897, until his assassination six months into his second term. McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish–American War, raised protective tariffs to promote American industry and kept the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of free silver (effectively, expansionary monetary policy).
Historians regard McKinley's 1896 victory as a realigning election in which the political stalemate of the post-Civil War era gave way to the Republican-dominated Fourth Party System, which began with the Progressive Era.
Leon Frank Czolgosz (Polish pronunciation: [ˈt͡ʂɔwɡɔʂ]; May 5, 1873 – October 29, 1901) was a Polish-American anarchist and former steel worker who assassinated U.S. President William McKinley in September 1901.
His last words were: "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people – the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime. I am sorry I could not see my father."
Today , while I know what I've seen , read , examined , compared cores and extremes ........ All I can get out of all of that is a convoluted , endless circular ..... spherical web of ....... Feces....
That's political enough ...... I thought this was verboten .....
