Death to Taxes

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by Brian.
Categories: General.

Just finished filing and paying taxes this year.  Paying? Yep, paying.

We actually got hit hard this year due to several things: We both got raises at our jobs last year, and then I changed jobs that amounted to a second huge raise, and I had a small bonus.  That all moved us up to a higher bracket.  Then we also finished paying off our second mortgage early, so did not have as much mortgage interest to deduct.  plus a few other things.

It sucks paying out what you earned to help fund all the government waste.

I am totally for the end to property taxes (why should I pay the government again and again for what is mine?) and income taxes.  I say “Yes!” to a flat rate consumption (sales) tax.

Back in NOLA & Little Rock

We (work crew, although minus a key member) are back in New Orleans again (damn that drive is long).

We’ll be here at least through Thursday, but may stay until Friday.  Weather is nice though.

Dawn will be leaving for Little Rock on Wednesday and returning Sunday.

Is it really the Eighth one?

It feels like only the second.

Luv Ya Babe!

Back in Houston

Well, we are back in Houston and working away.  A little chaos at my work, hopefully it will iron itself out.

I’ve got plenty of pictures I have to sort through and post in an album, which I will do as soon as I can.

2 weeks until the big 8/2: Eight years of marriage, but only celebrating our second anniversary.  Sounds like an excuse for a party.

Then less than a week later is the big 4-0 for me.  Sounds like an excuse for a wake.

The Bowling Princess

Last night a bunch of us went bowling for Dawn’s B-Day.

Great fun was had by all, even if we were real bad at throwing the big ball down the narrow alley.

Some pics were taken and will be posted soon.

Edit: 5:30 PM:

Pics are up at our new experimental gallery: http://uebelhart.net/gallery2008/

(the images are not big.  If anyone wants a bigger version emailed to them, let Dawn or I know and I’ll send the bigger one to you - the image numbers are at the top)

Happy New Year Y’all!

Hope everyone had a great 2007 and will have an even better 2008.

My New Year Resolutions (all photo related, of course):
1) Post 2008 images in 2008 on here (also in a Flickr set)
2) Post a “Picture A Day” in 2008 (some may be the same as the 2008 above)
3) Install and use album software on this site
4) Get my e-commerce site fully working to sell more pics.

Upcoming events in 2008:
1) February 29th: Leap Day, i.e. the Day I took the Leap. I’ll be married to Dawn for 8 years on that day, but it will only be our second anniversary. Love Ya Dawn!
2) March: I turn 40, soon I’ll turn grey! Opps, too late.
3) May/June: 2 weeks in the Desert Southwest - Bryce, Zion, Arches National Parks. Yahoo
4) January - July: About 5 days each month in New Orleans for Work. Hopefully there will be some “play” time too.
5) January - March: One day a week trips to Seguin/San Antonio (work).
6) July: Possible long weekend in Colorado.
7) January/February: Long weekend in New Mexico.
8) Whenever: Camping - now that we have a pop-up tent trailer, we’ll be camping more.

Today

For xmas I got a Canon 40D (i.e. New Camera), but it had not arrived yet.

UPS delivered it today at about 4PM.  Yipee, I thought.

But it was DOA (dead on arrival) and not working at all.

So tomorrow we have to ship it back to Amazon and wait for a replacement.   Hopefully it will only take a few days.

Aaargh!

So I probably won’t post a picture today (disappointment you know).
