Numbers, Numbers, Numbers! It's Nice To Be Working With Letters!

As I was leaving the Bench this morning heading to the salon I noticed how awesome Shafer Butte looked with the sun glistening off the fresh fallen snow. I always think it's Squaw Butte but it is in a different area of the valley. Squaw Butte may sound like it's derogatory but it's a tribute to the... Sign in to see full entry.

When Equipment Breaks Down, Blame The Ants! Lol

I'm currently working on the 2025 receipts. Today I came across some incomplete receipts and asked what happened to since it showed on the app sales were recorded. That's when the answer was well beyond what I anticipated. Jessica usually has a bowl of dum dum suckers by the Clover POS machine at... Sign in to see full entry.

Back To The Grind! Lol.

Since it is the 5th already I got started on the taxes for the salon. One item I need to file annually requires an official transmittal form. Naturally the Government makes the business use a new form annually. You can't write the date in as we are able with 1099 NEC form. Alas, they call the shots... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Difference A Year Makes! Totally Incredulous!

This morning I had to go for groceries because I had been putting it off. There are times when I do a pickup at Walmart, but I prefer to pick out my produce. If it's canned, bagged, glass jar or frozen I'm okay with having their employees do it for me. I had made myself think in terms of going... Sign in to see full entry.

I Adore A Lazy Saturday Watching Hockey, Basketball & Football.

Unfortunately my Red Wings lost on a nationally televised game. They had great difficulty trying to enter their end of ice so a tip of the hat to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Red Wings pulled their goalie with around 3 minutes left in the game to add a 6th skater but it proved useless and they gave... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was A Salon Day For My Grandniece.

I didn't know until I got to work (lol) today that my grandniece had an appointment to get her hair cut. My niece said she would ask constantly when her appointment was. Since she's 3 1/2 time is oblivious 😐 to her. Mom and daughter arrived as scheduled. It was too precious because Jessica treated... Sign in to see full entry.

Football Thursday! College Playoff Games Were Lackluster!

I watch 3 college playoff games today. Even though one is in the second half they were not very entertaining. I did enjoy watching Alabama beat down. They made the playoffs on reputation and not merit in my opinion. Notre Dame was consistently ranked higher at the end but they were snubbed by the... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! MAY THE NEW YEAR HOLD GREATNESS FOR ALL!

Today I had a second Christmas. My niece, kids and fiance came for lunch and present exchange. Initially her fiance wasn't going to make but when she drove he was right behind her. He was able to get off work early. I was so stoked because he was my prank in Idaho for gift wrapping. He absolutely... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have Thrown In The Towel On The Foco BRXLZ Lion's Football!

Today was utter madness with the Lion's football Lego like assembly. The Foco bricks are so hard to work with. They don't line up very well. The instructions are difficult to follow when it comes to the extra pieces and their placement. It started to get ridiculous on page five. I was able to do the... Sign in to see full entry.

Making Progress On My Football!

Now that I'm a few pages into the instruction book I'm making good progress. There really aren't any instructions but a lot of diagrams and associated numbers to corresponding pieces for each level. I have learned to layout each layer, then refer to the diagram for placement. Invariably there are... Sign in to see full entry.
