Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Cummins RS22. Propane fired, 22 kW, four cylinder, iron block, water cooled.

Apparently Cummins is making one last batch of 40, then they'll be gone. The RS25 uses the same engine, but puts out 25 kW, for a few thousand dollars more...

Schweet Genny.

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 7:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High near 65F. Winds light and variable.

I think I remember that the storm on the east coast is the result of two storms merging; one from California, one from Texas. Nice to have someone to share the blame with, eh Don? Regardless where it came from, that freezing rain is horrible, used to get it a couple times a winter back in central Ohio. Last year I lived there, one storm was so bad they closed Ohio State down for the first time ever. My college room mate and I went out in our backpacking gear taking photographs and helping people get their cars moving again. Temperatures were well below zero, so cold we saw two dogs stuck together running down the street tail to tail.:laughing:

Kind of a crappy photo, but just as I was walking into the bank yesterday, I heard a jet engine unlike anything on a commercial craft and looked up to see this U2 over head. I think they're based out of Beale Air Force Base not far to the south of Chico, and I've seen them a lot lower than that in the past landing at the local airport, but not in a long time. Thought they'd stopped using them, but I guess not...


TGIF gang!:drink:

U2...wow. I like most of their music, but not much of their politics.

64°F and .23 inches rain. Expect today’s wx to be similar to yesterday.

Dave’s brisket was melt in your mouth good after more than 15 hours on the Primo. Mmmmm

Hope to work on some tubular brackets today.

Need to replenish at the brewery this afternoon. Stop in HD.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Would that not make it hard to drive up and down the driveway?

Ted- Thanks for the laugh. I am really hoping that the temperature climbs higher than predicted before I do anything to the driveway. Maybe some seat time tomorrow? We have plenty of food, booze, and meds to wait this system out and the next if needed.

It goes through them when you file but do they keep a retrievable copy. They say an advantage on the downloaded version (as opposed to the cd) is that they keep a copy for you to retrieve.

Next year for Turbotax to run, your Apple computer will need OS version 10.14 or higher.

I don’t know if they do, but very possible. Everyone else, like your email companies harvests and sells your personal data, I wouldn’t put it past TurboTax to do the same.

I’ve used Turbo Tax since it was MacInTax, before that a floppy disk product that ran on my Apple //c. My USB CD drive predates my current laptop which is getting along in time also.
Have been tempted to look at the cloud based product but always defer to the CD convincing myself that if I have the program, my historical data is always accessible - not true. At some point the actual program doesn’t run any more.
If anyone is using one of the higher end versions on line would love to read comments.

34F this morning.. foggy and dreary..

coworker from old team wanted to met and discuss some new products, she really wanted to vent about things.. so glad I am out of that. Attending a "all hands call" now with second level manager (my old manager).. so glad I applied for early retirement.. praying I am approved and get completely away from this circus.

Stay safe, prayers for all

I can’t remember the source article, but as I recall Congress mandated some sort of limited free tax computation/filing. TT, H&R etc negotiated the “we pay” portion to balance the free portion. Naturally, it favored them.

Without a lie, my stomach rumbled when I read that! Looks like an early lunch is in order

I had 4 snow pics saved on my phone for you guys that don't get it. BUT, although I can load them into the 'puter, I can't seem to get them onto this forum.
I scaled them down from 4000 x 3000 to 800x600
