Just saw a doctor about my knee... Looks like I tore the miniscus back in the fall with a small tear and over worked it this spring on some road races and made a small tear into a big tear. MRI next week I hope (they should call me early next week to schedule it) and then surgery. Overall knees are good with no spurs or arthritis. Just need to fix this so I can get back outside and working out again.
It's the only place where you're going to find signs like this. Has my vote!
It's a new month and I'm going to make a point this March to use cash more often. First thing is to check my emergency cash stash at home. I try and keep $2000 at home for such emergencies. We live in an area where we can get ice storms and have the power out in our surrounding area for a week. No power, no internet, no atm and no debit cards.

Repeat: There are no special filings or paperwork with the IRS It seems that's usually everyone's biggest concern, but a single…

Right now I'm sitting half in my driveway and half in my garage trying to finish a batch of syrup. Getting late and my motivation is waining. Maybe spark it up and finish it tomorrow morning. Not exactly sure what this means for the rest of the season but I really need to make a permanent structure.
I've taken the next couple steps to digital privacy, with the first being getting my PO Box and having my LLC directed there along with applying for a Business Credit Card. I unfroze my credit for a day so I could apply, signed up for Chase Ink Business. This card in particular because they do not report to your personal credit. So now I can make the lions share of my personal purchases go away, all-the-while building up my business credit so I can eventually make home purchases through the company and not personally.
