THINKING IS SO DIFFICULT WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE THING RATTLING AROUND IN YOU HEAD...
THE CALENDAR-- I AM WAITING FOR TH AT STROKE OF BRILLIANCE THAT OFTEN ELUDES ME..... WE ARE WORKING AND HAVE SOME UNBELIEVABLE CREATIONS OF WILLIAMS TO WHICH I AM SUPPOSED TO ATTACH A BRILLIANT REMARK.. WELL THE PHOTO.S FAR OUTWEIGH MY TYPO'S AND SPELLING CHALLANGES.
ON TOP OF THAT--- I NEED TO GO SEE THE IRS AND GET TEH WORD FROM THE HORSES' MOUTH.-- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIE THE OTHER END OF THE HORSE TO THE WAY THE DIRECTIONS ARE WRITTEN... AND I HEAR THEY ARE TRYING TO RE-WRITE THE TAX LAW-- BOY... I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A GO AT THAT ONE.-- PROBLEM IS WRITING IN ALL THE LOOPHOLES-- THAT IS WHERE TEH DIARRHEA OF THE PEN SETS IN...
I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE IRS... I HAVE HAD A FEW CRAZY DEALS, ..I FOUGHT MY WAY ALONG WITH THE DOCTOR AND HIS RACE HORSE EXPENSE-- WHICH THE IRS TRIED TO DENY AND ASSESS $30,000 PENALTY FOR SOMETHING.. I SAID ABSOLUTELY NO AND I WANTED TO GO TO COURT OVER IT-- THEY SENT A GUY ROUND WHO WENT THRU EVERYTHING FOR 3 DAYS-- FROM HIS APPOINTMENT BOOK TO THE HYPPA RESTRICTED MED CHART TO THE DEPOSITS AND THEN HE MOVED TO IPSWICH-- WHERE I DID HAVE SOME MEDICAL OFFICE STUFF IN THT BACK ROOM( THAT IS NOW THE DOG DORM... ) TABLE AND EQUIPMENT...- TOM DID OCASSIONALLY SEE A PATIENT HERE... NOT VERY OFTEN... BUT IT DID HAPPEN-- AND THEN I SHOWED THE IRS GUY TEH RACE HORSES WE ACTUALLY HAD IN THE BARN. AND THE MANURE PILE--.. IF I NEEDED A NEW PITCHFORK, THERE WAS NO DOUBT..--- I REMEMBER HIS COMMENT ABOUT BEING NEWLY HIRED BY THE IRS...- AND HE HAD TO FIND SOMETHING SINCE HE WAS HERE FOR 3 DAYS-- SO WE SETTLED ON DRIVING BETEWWN THE "HOUSE OFFICE" AND HOSPITAL WAS NOT A DEDUCTABLE "DRIVING BETEWEEN OFFICES" , BUT IN FACT COMMUTING -- I SETTLED ON THAT . COST ME $320. ( AND 3 DAYS EDUCATION) HE ALSO SAID ( OUTLOUD.. WISH I RECORDED IT) "I CAN TELL YOU WE ARE NEVER GOING TO AUDIT YOU AGAIN"
I PLAN TO TAKE THEM AT HIS WORD..-- THIS HOUSE HAS 10 ROOMS AND HE ALLOWED 10% TO MEDICAL EXPENSES.. NO PROBLEM.. SO NOW... WHEN I HAVE 10% FOR MY PERSONAL USE AND SDP HAS THE REST OF THE 12 ACRES,, THE ACCOUNTANT IS RELUCTANT... IT IS UNUSUAL MAYBE... BUT IT IS A FACT... AND I PLAN TO STICK TO MY GUNS. I HOPE IF I END UP IN JAIL, YOU ALL WILL COME SLIP ME A SAW BLADE IN A PIE WITH WHIPPED CREAM.

I DO KNOW YESTERDAY I SIGNED 5 GRANT PROPOSALS FOR THE TOWER OF HOPE (TTOH HAS BEEN VERY KIND TO US IN THE PAST.. $40,000 KIND... ) , SIGNED A RECERTIFICATION OF SOMEONE WHO'S DOG LOOKED VERY HAPPY TO PUT
ON HIS HARNESS( THAT IS MY BIGGEST WAY OF JUDGING ) THEN-- I ORDERED 500 MORE CALENDARS , 75 VACINES FOR THE PUPS, 100 BALES OF HAY, 2 PIECES OF PLUMBING- A NOT-DOWN VEST- A HYDROLIC HOSE FOR THE TRACTOR AND 10 MORE HOTEL ROOMS FOR NEXT YEARS DOGFEST--- I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH 2018 DOGFEST FOR A FEW MONTHS..--I HOPE TINA WILL HELP WITH SOME THINGS- SHE HAS ALOT OF GOOD IDEAS AND ENERGY.. BUT SHE LIVES IN CALIFORNIA 4 TIME ZONES AWAY... SO WE HAVE TO REDO SOME PROCESSES. --- SARA BOUGHT US LUNCH FROM THE CLAM SHACK SO I ATE FAR TOO MUCH ... MUST HAVE BEEN 3000 CALORIES...I ENJOYED EVERY ONE OF THEM.

ONE OTHER SHORT IRS STORY.... I LEARNED THIS EARLY... I BELONG TOTHE ESSEX COOP... WHERE WE GET OUR HORSE GRAIN-- IT COST ME $20 TO JOIN.. AND ONCE A YEAR, I GET A $1 DIVIDEND CHECK FROM THEM... I HAVE ALWAYS INCLUDED THAT ON MY TAXES-- LUCKILY.. BECAUSE ONE YEAR THE IRS GAVE A "NEW GUY" THE COMPUTER LIST OF EVERYONE WHO GOT THE $1 -- AND HAD HIM PRACTICE AUDITING ANYONE WHO DID NOT INCLUDE IT.
LESSON LEARNED... ANY TIME YOU ARE ON SOME LIST... PAY ATTENTION.... IN THE AGE OF COMPUTERS SOMEONE IS STUDYING WHY YOU ARE ON THAT LIST.
