ACCOUNTING.... ONE OF MY LEAST FAVORITE TOPICS.... BOTH MINE AND SERVICE DOG PROJECT--- SDP NOW HAS AN OFFICIAL ( EXPENSIVE) CPA-- THAT LEAVES ME.... ON MY OWN... AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME .. I DO NOT SEE WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE IRS IN PORTSMOUTH TO HAVE THEM FIGURE IT OUT...
THE "IT" IS-- I "RENT" TEH FARM TO SDP FOR $1 A YEAR-- THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNTANT GOT UPSET BECAUSE SHE NOTED SDP FORGOT TO PAY ME THE OFFICIAL $1-- AND AN ACCOUNTANT I HAVE HAD FOR YEARS DOESN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT AS TOO COMPLICATED BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET REALESTATE VALUES BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DEDUCT AS DONATED RENT....I JUST HAVE NOT GOT ROUND TO PAYING A REALATOR-- PRETTY SOON THE IRS IS GOING TO GET VERY MAD BECAUSE I AM SO LATE WITH THE PAPERRWORK... I HAVE ENOUGH VERIFYABLE DEDUCTIOS TO SDP TO MAKE TEH VALUE OF THE REAL ESTATE A MUTE POINT-- BUT I SHOULD GET IT DONE PROPERLY...
WHATEVER CRAZY ACRES WOULD SELL FOR ON THE MARKET.... I STARTED WITH 12 ACRES AND NOW HAVE ONE ROOM AND A BATH... TO JUST TAKE A VERY CONSERVATIVE GUESS AT THE VALUE WOUDL PUT ME WAY AHEAD... BUT I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THOUSANDS ON SOME REALATOR'S EVALUATION...
MIND YOU , I AM DELIGHTED WITH MY ONE ROOM AND A BATH---
HISTORICALLY ( UNTIL ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO WHEN THE CAMERAS ARRIVED.. AND THE CP's) --- I DIVIDED IT THIS WAY.... IF IT WAS NAILED TO OR ATTACHED PERMANTLY TO THE PROPERTY, IT WAS MY EXPENSE... IF IT WAS MOVABLE IT WAS SDP'S.. WITH THE COMPLETION ( NEARLY ) OF THE ICE BUILDING I DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN FIT ANY MORE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS 12 ACRES ( WELL 11.65 ACRES)
**
I CAN REMEMBER.... (HERE WE GO)..... WHEN I WAS ANIMAL EPISODES PROVIDING ANIMALS FOR PHOOGRAPHOIC MEDIA, I DEDUCTED TEH WHOLE FARM AS "BUSINESS" WHICH IT WAS---
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BEDROOM ONLY...
WHY NOT THE BATHROOM YOU ASK???.. WELL AT ONE POINT I NEEDED 100 CUTE BABY CHICKENS FOR SOME CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA IN A BOSTON HOTEL----- THE ROUTINE WITH CHICKENS IS/WAS YOU ORDER THEM-- THEY ARE HATCHED ( BY THE ENTIRE E=INDUSTRY IT SEEMS ) ON A MONDAY.. THEY ARE SEXED ( BOYS OR GIRLS) ON A TUESDAY AND CRATED FOR SHI[MENT BY 5PM TUESDAY-- OVERNIGHTED TO THE POST OFFICE-- YOU GET THEM BY WEDNESDAY( CERTAINLY THURSDAY) THEY DON'T NEED FOOD OR WATER FOR 24/48 HOURS LIVING OFF THAT YOLK PART I GUESS) NEXT PROBLEM----- I NEEDED THEM FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON -- AND THEY HAD TO BE KEPT WARM--- DARN WARM.. LIKE 90 DEGREES-- DON'T TELL ME ABOUT HEATING LAMPS ETC... I KNEW ALL ABOUT THEM-- BUT STILL, NOT WARM ENOUGH IN DECEMBER IN NEW ENGLAND.... UNLESS YOU KEPT THEM IN THE WARMEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE.... THE BATHROOM.. WHICH IS NOT LARGE...
THAT IS NOT THE END OF THE PROBLEM--- IT GETS WORSE....
BABY CHICKENS DOUBLE IN SIZE EVERY 2 DAYS -- SO WHAT WAS CUTE BABIES ON MONDAY- WERE BEGINNING TO FLY SHORT DISTANCES BY SATURDAY... THE ONLY PLACE SAFE TINTHE BATHROOM WAS THE SHOWER STALL....OTHERWISE I WAS ANKLE DEEP IN FUZZY YELLOW CHICKS WHILE I BRUSHED MY TEETH......
THE ANIMAL RIGHTS PEOPLE HAVE DONE SOME WONDERFUL THINGS... LIKE TRYING TO KEEP ANIMALS SAFE IN AIRPLANES...BUT TO HAVE 2 SPCA PEOPLE COME OUT HERE ON A MONDAY AFTER THE EVENT TO COUNT THESE BABY CHICKS SEEMED LIKE A WAST OF PERSONELL, BUT LE T ME TELL YOU I HAD A WONDERFUL CHUCKLE TO WATCH 2 FAIRLY LARGE PEOPLE IN MY SMALL BATHROOM TRYING TO VERIFY I STILL HAD 100 THAT WAS ON MY ORDER SLP... THE PICTURE OF VERY ACTIVE YELLOW FLUFFY THINGS FLYING AROUND THEIR ANKLES STILL MAKES ME LAUGH....
FINALLY THEY QUIT AND THE WOMAN SAID IN A VERY DISGUSTED TONE " I KEEP GETTING 102"
****
JUST IN CASE YOU NEED TO KNOW.... WHEN YOU FEED BABY CHICKS YOU NEED TO GET ONE BAG OF MEDICATED "CHICK STARTER" -- I TTRIED ONCE TO SKIP THE MEDICATED-- AND LOST 1/2 THE CHICKS-- WHEN I SEE CHICKEN FOR SALE IN THE MAKET THAT SAYS ANTIBIOTIC FREE.... I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT THEY MEAN AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS OLD THEY ARE FREE OF MEDS.
*****
FUGAN HAS SENT US A BEAUTIFUL FUTON FOR THE ICE HOUSE-- SO PUTTING THAT TOGETHER IS THE CHORE OF THE DAY...-
DAVID DOES HAVE TH EHOT WTER HEATER ON THE WALL NOW IF HE WOULD JUST GET IT HOOKED TO THE WATER....... AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE 3 "JERRY CANS" TO PROVIDE WATER TO POUR IN THE DRANS TO WASH THRU ANTHING THAT SHOULD BE WASHED THRU... ( FLUIDS ONLY... NO VERY DIRTY DOG DISHES OR PICKED POO)
*****
I AM THINKING... A FAN ON A 2 WHEELED TRUCK ATTACHED TO AN EXTENSION CORD.. ATTACHED TO A GENERATOR.. ON A MOSQUITO TESTING PROJECT...
I NEED SOME NET.
