I am just about 10 minutes from the Narrows Bridge and my daughter who will be home for spring break was coming with me. If you want to meet up in Tacoma we could ride up together. I have a little Prius, and was hoping to bring a couple of Pips&Peeps birds home with me. You can PM me and we can figure out if this would work for you.

Oh you should you should!

ick -- thanks for the heads' up on the wind --- we've had a few gusts here but it hasn't started whistling yet -- takes about 40 mph to do that

lost a few shingles with the last one --- but having had a power outage JUST YESTERDAY -- I'm going to be cautious and make sure everything is battened down, and ready if we lose the electricity again

may start a fire in the woodstove -- I don't want the chicks to get cold again

also I just stuck a couple of 2 liter bottles of water in their brooder, to act as a heat sink, retain some warmth if we lose the power

Good idea on the heat sink..watch out for power outages right now everyone !
heat up the lavabuns or whatever you use to brood while without power........

I had a few of these for boat trips, and tossed them cuz we never used them, now I wish I had kept them, they stay warm for a long long time...

www.irs.gov is a great starting point.
Right on the front page you'll see a link for filing free.
That link leads to a list of companies offering free filing. (Those companies also have not-so-free software available.)
Be sure to look for restrictions and limits (usually AGI.)
You can also find help from the IRS directly.

On amazon you'll find threads discussing the various programs including problems with certain brands of software.
There were lots of last minute changes this year so be sure that you have the most updated versions of whatever software you buy.

If you have a quick question, feel free to contact me directly. Please understand that I won't be able to recommend a specific product. (I use professional tax software sold to CPA firms.)

The free ones are just basic. I need the one that includes Schedule C (business) and schedule F (farm income). I'm pretty sure thats not free but I'll check.

CR or anyone,
Taxes are on the agenda this weekend. Are you aware of any cheap or free programs. I have issues with paying to get my own money, just seems wrong.
I usually do 1040 and itemize. Last year I looked on-line but "chickened" out cause I didn't know what was legit.
Didn't think to go to the IRS site.

CCG! If you want to meet my sister and I here in North Kitsap, you could always ride with me! Your truck / car would be safe at my place, and we could just hop on the Kingston Edmonds boat, and be on our way! If your interested in riding along your more than welcome. I am only going for the day myself!

I am so freakin jealous of all you getting to go to the Chicken Show in Monroe...

I want to go. But I have to go to a Birthday party for my DH 90 year old aunt. I really dont even know her.

Owell someday I will get to meet some of you......

Its probably a good thing Im not going I would want to buy some fun Chickens.... My DH probably wouldnt like that as we have to many now...
