small accomplishments

Today I finished and delivered a press release for a master gardeners free educational event. To be honest, it was finished more than a week ago, but I had to figure out how to add a kind of dopey bit of information.

Friends asked if we happened to have a Washington state quarter for their daughter's collection. Why yes, we do! Wrote the child a short letter, wrapped up the coins and went to the post office.

On the way back I did the week's grocery shopping.

When I got home, I took Zach out back for some training work. So far our assignments are recall (come!), heel, sit/stay and down/stay (both to a 30 foot distance). He's amazing. He'll do anything for some beef franks.

After I prepared our lunch, I finished our federal taxes and filed them electronically. We owe a little, so I'll mail out the payment voucher with our check on the 11th. Maybe I'll even wait until the 14th.

If anyone has a clue how to make Turbo Tax work with a state K-1, I'm all ears. Hells bells, trying to figure out how to get the Georgia state tax screens to work with the federal is driving me bonkers. I think I have to override forms, but I'm not sure and Googling for help isn't getting me anywhere. But no worries. When I did it the first time (and I think it was correct) we'd owe about $180 to GA, and that includes an $8 penalty for underpayment. Bastiges.

Not too bad for a day's work.
