Welcome to my crappy website. It truly is a bootleg bunch of crap, but I don't care. Not at all. I'm not doing it just to entertain you scumbags; I'm doing it because writing is fun but I am too lazy to actually write a real book. Don't laugh because I'm serious.

I have no update schedule so if you don't like it then you can ggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttt oooooooouuuuuuuuttttttttttttttt!

ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: Why are you still here? Chances are pretty damn good that I WILL insult you in some fashion if you choose to continue beyond this point. The purpose of this site is to entertain me, and I am often entertained at the expense of others. Therefore, prepare to be slandered. A lot. It's still not to late to leave with your feelings intact!

Saturday, 9-06-25: The shed and a generator.
I worked on the shed for a few hours today in between a trip to the dump and Lowe's, and I finally have the thing water-tight even though it's not actually done:

I used synthetic roofing "tarpaper" for the wrap, but who cares it's just a shed. Right? I wouldn't even need that if I was going to use t11 plywood siding, but I think I'll just throw on basic grey, tan, or white siding. I'll let my awesome wife decide what color, but those 3 colors are in-stock and relatively inexpensive as compared to custom colors and whatnot. Vinyl is final!

I also finally ordered this today:

I actually ordered two of them! One for our house and one for Debbie and Dillon's house. We considered getting just one big generator to power both houses, but that's not really possible due to the electrical side of things. It's a Generac 14,000 KWH that we will have to run with propane since natural gas isn't available out here in Eddington. I got my military pricing so each of us "only" paid $4900 with sales tax for the unit itself. It's supposed to arrive for pickup at Lowe's around the 24th, but we shall see. I need to get Fire and Ice and Sparkies out here to hook it all up once it does arrive and I'm sure we will need some add-ons and maybe a slab to set it on. I'm thinking getting it all hooked up will be between $8,000-10,000 per house.

The power goes out a lot here, and in big storms it can stay out for days. Even in Brewer right in town we had some horrible wind storms that took out our power for 2-3 days so out here it will be a lot worse. What a bunch of crap! I thought about solar since we get lots of sun here, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet. Maybe if we were in a higher tax bracket and could take advantage of some expiring tax credits for it I would take a closer look, but we are still poor on paper for this tax year due to the carry-over losses from the restaurant.

I should send the IRS a quarterly payment, though. I haven't done one of those all year and I usually don't, but all my income is from self-employment so I'll have to pay the Social Security and Medicare tax on that income. It not a really huge number, but it doesn't have to be before it gets into the thousands of dollars in tax liability in a hurry. The carpentry side of my income will be higher than it's ever been in the past thanks to the huge garage job in Brewer that is only roughly 50% done. No doubt I'll still be working on it in 2026!

The Patriots play tomorrow at 1300 and I should watch some of the game. They've been TERRIBLE over the past few years so it can't get any worse. Right? Ever since Brady left a few years ago watching the Patriots has been painful. What a bunch of crap! Speaking of painful, the Red Sox are losing by a lot again in AZ so I just turned it off and it's quiet here. I'm not even ripping out tunes! I should get some tunes going, but the silence is sort-of nice and I'll be bivouacing soon. Rain all of tomorrow so I'll play racquetball and work on some tax stuff for clients. I might organize some downstairs as well in what will soon be the gym area. It's still a mess in that room and I need to get on it so I can lift weights again. At my current pace I won't have it done until 2026. What a bunch of crap!

Once my tax business calms down I'll have more precious... precious time to work downstairs. It's only 5-10 or so hours a week for the past couple weeks, but that on top of the garage job and other stuff going on I just haven't worked on the house as much as I wanted to. 5-10 hours a week for the tax business is really a lot for my ass compared to what I've done this time of year in the past. I have two very involved tax situations that have required multiple client meetings and even a trip to the local IRS office with a client last month. I also had to research for a new client and I'm still putting the finishing pieces together for Jason's taxes. I'll be glad when all of that is done and I can focus more on the house and getting ready for deer hunting.

Alright turds, all two of you who read this bootleg turd of a website, I'm going to chill out for a little but then bivouac. Goonies never say die!

Friday, 9-05-25: A quiet weekend? Garage photos and the Red Sox.
The Red Sox are playing on the west coast for the next several games and they are in Arizona now against the Diaondbacks. They have been playing very well since the All-Star game and are in good position for a wild-card playoff spot at something like 78-63. Odds of winning the World Series are very slim, but not many people expected them to even be in contention for the playoffs as of the end of June (myself included what a bunch of crap!)

The NFL season also began last night with the Cowboys vs. the Eagles. I watched a little of the game before I bivouaced, and tonight the Chiefs play the Chargers in Brazil, but that one is on YouTube. All I wanna know is why? Why do NFL games have to be exclusively on Youtube? I don't even know how to access that one. Yes I use Youtube on this old-ass Acer computer, but I don't think I can actually watch a football game on it. I probably need to subscribe and F that. I use YouTube for 80s music and the occasional instructional video. Last week I watched a couple videos on how to install Genstone...

I ordered more Genstone for that massive garage job in Brewer (faux stone on the front) and it arrived this afternoon. I'll install some next week, but today we were focused on siding the south side. I have a lot of scaffolding there and that makes a HUGE difference in not only safety but also production. It does take time to set up and break down, but once it's in place I can fly through a section of siding, soffit, trim, etc. Here is how it looked mid-afternoon today:

^I worked on the front top for a few hours yesterday, and today Daniel and I crushed it mostly working on the south side where all the scaffolding is in place. We got a lot of siding installed and we did it safely. No injuries = win.

^Earlier in the week I finished rebuilding what was some shit-show and rotting trim along the eaves there. I still need to metal-wrap it all and I've never done that before, but it's not too hard. Maybe? Hopefully! I can rent a break to bend it properly since the tools I have now don't quite get it done in a way that I like. I can practice on our shed that I should have finished last week but that I've barely worked on at all since mid-month last month. I've just been too busy what a bunch of crap!

The weather was great, near 70 and mostly cloudy, I'll take that all year. Especially after working on that thing when it was 90+ and working on it last winter at 30 degrees and windy. This time of year is the best for working outside. Most of September = fantastic weather and so far this September is off to a great start. Sadly we do have rain coming later tomorrow and most of Sunday, but it's been very dry and we need that rain. We plan to have a quiet weekend here and tomorrow I think I can get the shed waterproof. Maybe? Hopefully!

I "only" worked on that garage 18.25 hours this week. Not much, but it's about my normal based on his budget and my other projects. I still have a few tax clients to finish stuff for, but I did finish one bigger project and I got it in the mail earlier today so that was a relief checking that off the list for now. We had a very comprehensive business plan for something in the works that I don't want to get into here on this bootleg site that almost no one will ever read, but it's important to us so we shall see how that shakes out...

A quiet weekend here will be great so I can get more work done for some tax clients, get the shed water-tight, and just relax some. Maybe play racquetball Sunday and a trip to the dump tomorrow before we get rain. I still have a lot to do. A LOT. I'm hoping things start to turn in my favor as I get some of these heavy-hitting tax clients finished up and make more progress here at our own house. My awesome wife got a lot done today by clearing out one of our two storage units and bringing it all here. If we can get most or all of that in the shed that would be awesome, but I have to actually finish the shed first hehe.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WHERE THE FUCK IS CHANNEL 1928?! SPECTRUM WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? ALL I WANNA KNOW IS WHY? WHY DID YOU TAKE AWAY THE 1980S CHANNEL YOU MUDDA FUCKAS? Lately I've just put on 80s music on YouTube, but I am not on Youtube I am on the TV and the Red Sox are losing badly so I want 80s music and it is gone. The Nothing came and took it like it took away the beautiful lake from the Rock Biters in the North in The Neverending Story.

WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!

I flipped to 1928, 70s music was on, so I hit the GUIDE button and no music channels even show up. Now I am listening to some dog-shit song by "The Chicago Transit Authority" that says 1969 so this is depressing. Chicago has a couple good songs, but nothing from 1969 was good. Guess I'll just turn off the TV and rack out in a few. Maybe if I keep this channel on some good stuff would play because there is a lot of great 70s music, but the 80s are better in every way.
