Five days to Carson City
Jan. 28th, 2024 11:46 pmHad my first return today, a 1040EZ that the client didn't want to drop off. I knocked it out in about 15 minutes, gave the fellow a 10% discount since he'd been with us forever, and also did some work on my own return, which I am hoping to have wrapped up and submitted before I head up the road on Friday. I am on the schedule in Dayton, as I mentioned in my last post, but I am basically standing by and waiting for dropoffs, fulfillment returns, and suchlike things.
Did laundry tonight at Tonopah Station, as one does on Sunday night, and washed my sheets since all I've been wearing this week (mostly) are T-shirts and pajama pants. Daytime temps have been in the 40s and 50s, so I haven't had to run the space heaters as much.
I'll be devoting most of my off-time to rooting out the rest of the Son of Silvercon expenses and putting those on the second Schedule C. I really wish I'd gotten the Spark card sooner so I don't have to dig through four different credit card statements (and the credit union, and the NSB account) but it can't be helped. I expect that Schedule C is going to show a pretty humongous loss when all is said and done. Speaking of the convention, Brad Torgersen agreed to be our Guest of Honor this year.
I started doing a Memorandum for Record about my intentions for Son of Silvercon and got derailed into copying various philosophical musings about Anime Detour into a Word document that I may or may not pull together into an e-book.
The VA disability will hit on the first, and $25 of it is going toward a preseason shearing. I am undecided how much of the rest will be going toward credit cards and how much toward new work shirts and work pants. One of my existing pairs of work pants has a hole in the front left pocket and (IIRC) a ragged left cuff, and I know I've lost a couple of work shirts in my travels, so I'll definitely have to invest in some of each. In addition to getting my ears lowered, I'm going to stop by the DMV and renew my registration. Getting a handicapped parking placard involves having doctors sign off on various forms, and I think I'll just pass on that for now. I'm not that crippled yet.
I am mulling over whether or not I want to get the Imaginos albums by Albert Bouchard. They pull together and remix the songs that Bouchard and Sandy Pearlman originally intended to be a sort of secret history of the 19th and 20th century, which are scattered all through the Blue Oyster Cult discography, and while I find the story interesting, I'm not sure I want to listen to the musical.
