Greetings gang.
It's a sunny 30 degrees in the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning with a projected high in the upper 50s. The warming trend will continue through the weekend but rain chances increase by Saturday.
Started on my taxes yesterday. Still trying to figure out how to deal with some of it. Not too happy with the state of Iowa. I don't make enough to have to file but last fall the state started taking out so I have to file to get it back. Not real keen on giving the state a no interest loan.
Also yesterday I bought some new (much needed) shirts. On tap for today are a trip to the gym this morning and late this afternoon is beer and bereavement.
In the medical news department my son is back to work for the next two weeks until his surgery on the 22nd. He's expecting to be off work for only a week or so after the surgery.
My other son called yesterday afternoon. He was just blessed with a 7% pay cut. The company he works for is related to the oil industry and has been hit pretty hard by the slowdown. With the rise in the price of oil recently I don't expect this to be a long term problem.
All stay safe.
Tom
