What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Yes, the state sales tax of 6.25% applies when you buy the car. There is a mass gas tax, I looked it up its 24 cents per gallon.

Mass is often nicknamed "taxachusetts" but statistically we are only average when you look at combined sales and state/local income tax rates. We have no local sales taxes (which many states do, especially state with low or no income tax), and our income tax rate has actually come down in the years Ive lived here.

 

But our registration fee is only $50 every two years. Like I said they dont hide the tax in the fee like some states do.

 

So, like most places, another tax is a tax no matter what the color.

 

If George Carlin (R.I.P.) were still alive, I can just imagine what a hilarious skit he could have come up with about taxes are taxes even though they are taxes...........................

 

Well done, bet mom & dad are happy...happy.....happy........

 

Today consisted of doing next to nothing. Trying to rest the back, went to my son's basketball game, visited my parents, took a little nappy wappy.

 

If you quiry berry college eagles you can see the mated pair nesting the two 2 1/2 week old eaglets.

 

Oh man. My wife made broiled haddock with a crumbly topping and home made macaroni and cheese and green beans.

It's okay. I'll be alright. I rolled to my chair and leaned allllll the way back. Remote in hand. Ice water on the table next to me.

 

Now....................let the thunder roll...........................

 

Thunder? Were not suppose to have any storms here Rotti!

 

He was hilarious, effortless humor

 

Gotta have one of those kinda days every once in awhile, it's good to relax your body and recover.

 

Yep, our taxes are bad here in Wisconsin. Is always been a top 5 taxed state. We don't have excise taxes on cars, but every car is $76 to register for the year, or more. Motorcycles were only like $24 for 2 years. Now its more for bikes.

Nearly completed my taxes today. A couple steps more and they'll be done.

 

OMG... for the first time in months I feel like a regular human being... That is I was actually able to do something other than shovel snow all day long!!!!!!



Lets see where to start...

• I snowblowed the driveway and it only took an hour!
• Let the stove go cold and gave it a good cleaning.
• We took the kids out for a ride and bought them a couple more fish for their new fish tank... 7 little swimmers now. One thing you cant beat about fish as pets... they are so cheap. 3 new fish... 3 dollars and 58 cents.
• I finished and filed the taxes.
• I got to sit and read the paper with morning coffee.
• I went out sledding with the kids (every other time I missed that while shoveling)
• I gave both cars the full once over - checked fluids, tires, gas up, and washed all the windows. clean windows!!!! OMG!!!!
• I cleaned up and reorganized the garage.
• I finally put no slip tape on the back door threshold
• I straightened up the paperwork stack in the home office and got all the bills sorted.
• We sat down and watched half of Empire Strikes Back with the kids.
• I gave the steam boiler its monthly (blow down and check water level)
• Cleaned and filled the humidifier.
• And after dinner I even got a chance to spend some time in the shop working on hobby projects.. got the onboard generator installed on heli #2.

 

Stop it, you're making us less ambitious people look bad.

Not all pet fish are cheap. Just wait until they get into the pricey fish tanks.
