Taxes and Coin Club Report
 

Did everyone remember to get their taxes done? I did mine the other day
using Taxact, a free download. Worked pretty good. then I did my state
taxes on the state's web site. much easier than the last time years ago I
tried some tax software and just gave up cause it kept crashing. these
actually worked ok, although entry of some stuff was a bit tedious trying to
read the tiny lettering on the w2s and such and typing it in (maybe old age
attacking my eye balls).

while I was in my tax records I happened across the statement the social
security people sent me. the drop in my income over the last 10 years is
pretty dramatic (thanks for nothing you weasels in congress that keep
raising taxes and running the economy into the ground). I guess that's why
my coin budget keeps dropping every year.

tonight was the coin club meeting. nothing too interesting, no new
business, no old business, no show and tell. bought some tokens in the
auction for $1. plastic ad tokens for the club - a set of 8 one in each
color they were made in. no real bargains in the auction, but someone bought
a bunch (like ten) of blue and red books for something like $10. I only got
one question right in the coin trivia contest. did not manage to win
anything in the raffles either. but a good time yakking with the guys.
