this is the happy thread 

I have avoided malpractice by sending my taxes away for 20 + years. 

Back when we met and life was very different for me, it was advantageous in my situation to have an S-corp, so that's what I did on the recommendation of my tax attorney.  I was happy to let his outfit do my taxes every year, because I'm 99% sure I didn't have the Understandz to do my taxes correctly in my situation.  And, they were great at exploiting every available deduction and loophole I didn't know about.

Now I'm just a W-2 employee and there's not much need to pay somebody throughout the year to keep my taxes in order.  Our taxes are simple and I do them on Turbo Tax in less than 30 minutes.  

I procured 4 cases of mostly near expired seasonal biers from the local guy (by 8 different craft breweries) for almost a 3rd off told him he may not see me until Memorial Day. Guess I'm not going out for The SB

So fast forward - in this abundance of suds is nestled a sixer of "Hell or High Twilight" Citrus Wheat Ale (5.6% ABV) from the 21st Amendment Brewery in San Francisco. Well I had to look them up because last year I had their Fireside Chat a winter/holiday seasonal spiced ale (7.9% ABV) and that was really,really good. Started wondering how the local guy found this brewery on the left coast as I was going to order more of their efforts.

Well it turns out the "Twilight" series appears prophetic as it was "Last Call" for them - the spigots went dry and they locked their doors at the end of November after 25 yrs in the business . So I'll be nursing the 5 of those I have left and going to check out the shelves at the small mom/pop places that might have a few a few of them collecting dust. Damn shame when Independent U.S. Craft Breweries like this and Anchor belly up. Hell they were rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. Going to have to find the Sad Thread

Did ya move it over??? Prolly get more traction as this is where the peoples is

I'll check "The Casual Pint" the next time I'm in Omaha

Just this past year, Texas stopped requiring inspections prior to registration for non-commercial vehicles.  If you live in a county that requires emissions tests, you still have to do that.

It's nice not to have to bother with that, but I'm not sure how the DMV ensures vehicles are road-worthy.  

Illinois has emissions testing. Glad to not have to bother with that anymore.

happy.
