    The paid Spybot did not work for me. Quite possibly operator error, I tried all different sorts of settings yet it was taking WAAAAYYY too long to load different pages or close out a window. And my yahoo email kept crashing. (checked task manager a several times, they all showed spybot hogging the ram).

    Tonight, Spybot antivirus and malware uninstalled, new antivirus, and I got my lifetime Malwarebytes back up and running:dex:

    I never thought I'd "outsource" my taxes but that was during simpler times too. Unless you are filing a simple 1040A or 1040EZ and just taking the standard deduction, it's worth having a tax pro do it. I use an independent accountant, not H&R Block or a similar tax mill. He saves me money in making sure we have every deduction we are legally qualified for, and he can do in an hour what used to take me all day. Just the time saved is well worth his fee, let alone the additional refund.

    Bought a second chain for the new bar with the gift certificate from in-laws. Time to give it a try.

    o_O Wow is this longer bar and chain nice! I had to try it out on a downed tree and get use to it so I don't hit the ground. LOL I'm not very tall so it wouldn't be hard. But this is great! Much less bending over!:thumbs:

    You da man jon1212 !

    This full skip/chisel chain loves to slice through the Pine! Like butter.

    For those that haven't done taxes yet, I saw on the national news that one couple used h&r block walk-in, turbotax at home and a professional tax service ( accountant) and the big winner for most refund was turbotax. It was a hefty amount that it won by. An accountant can do them as well as turbotax, but it's going to cost a lot more than turbotax, even with the more expensive versions like I need to buy. H&r block, is going to rip you off.

    Dang! I used block this year instead of using turbo like my daughter suggested.

    Made the trip across the state to see my oldest boy and his fiance. Brought over a load of their stuff for their new house (woo-hoo less stuff at our house!) and to help him layout a new fence.

    Decided to pull up an old sidewalk that was in poor shape, where the new fence is going to cross.

    One broken pick axe and a busted sledge hammer later we got enough removed to let him get started. :)

    [​IMG]

    I ended up taking them to Menards and buying them a wheel barrow to haul dirt, then took them out to lunch afterwards.

    Kids....even as adults they are still expensive! :)

    Now, does anyone need some old concrete? :)

    schlot , I will have much the same project going on here at 99's this summer. This raises some questions.

    1. Will you help me too?
    2. Can I put the old concrete in your truck?
    3. Will you buy me lunch and take me to Menards?

    And most importantly

    4. Tell the truth now, you wouldn't have it any other way than to be able to help out with your son, right?

    1-3...let me get back to you on that. :)

    4....darn right. He was very appreciative and a fine young man. I've messed up plenty of things in my lifetime. But he's not one of them. :)

    Well I worked about five hours outside today. I'm cutting some firewood while thinning out another section of woods where the wife's future horses will roam. The new bar and chain is working great!

    Now it is time for another break. A cold drink, and to get ready to go for my walk/run with the two 12 y.o. kids. It is a beautiful day out and we will get a good and long one in this afternoon. :thumbs:

    Ah, old concrete is the new "urbanite". It is popular with the recycler folks. I've torn up old concrete walkways and reset the chunks down for the walk leading to and around the outdoor oven.

    In a small area of our yard I have broken concrete, old bricks, fieldstone and limestone for walkways. All leftovers from demolition and projects.
