The Coffee House

Charlie, if you're a contractor, you should incorporate yourself, (as type 'S' corp), that would allow you to maximize all your deductions against payments. You could, most likely, write off cameras and a percentage of your car.

I'm not sure how all that works, but I was hired by the business that is providing the contracted services to the County - I'm not a freelancer.

I have considered setting myself up as a GIS consultant, but that would be some time in the future - I'd have to learn how to run a business, first.

Well, either you're a subcontractor to that business or an employee of that business. Most likely you're a subcontractor. PM me if/when you want/need some help and or clarifications. Different states have different laws, but most contracting is roughly the same.

A wine delivery from Marimar Winery in Sonoma has graced Gary's humble household. Life is good.

Hey Hosers! Hope everyone is well. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the dogs vs. cats thing. It pops up as a memory on FaceBook every year and it makes me laugh every time. We had cats when I was growing up and I remember so well the cattitude!!!

It was a busy and hectic week for me but it ended on a high note. Had a 90 minute massage appointment after work, picked up take-out from Carrabbas grille on the way home and enjoyed that with a nice BIG glass of chardonnay. Now I'm finishing off my night with a small bag of pretzel M&M's (God's gift to sweet and salty lovers). It was someone else's turn to drive the teenage gang around tonight. Ahhhhhhh!! Hot shower and an early night for me. G'night TPF.

Congrats Charlie, that sounds great for you!

Good move Sharon, handing off the driving of the teenagers to someone else and replacing it with a nice wine!

Have fun shooting the parade Gary.

The strangest thing... it's the weekend and - it's going to be sunny and 60 degrees!!! I'm going and doing some picture taking!!!!!!!!

And RIP David Peel. Read the other day about him having a heart attack and recognized the name but couldn't remember who he was, then saw today he'd passed away. Proto-punk music, before there was punk rock. Hippie from New York City.

I seem to have listened to some really oddball music over the years...

Charlie, if you're a contractor, you should incorporate yourself, (as type 'S' corp), that would allow you to maximize all your deductions against payments. At a minimum, you could, most likely, write off camera(s), computer(s) and a percentage of your car.

Excellent recommendation.

Good morning hosers. Going out to shoot today. Nikon FM with AIS 50mm, TMax 100, and my Rollei 140 with Agfa Vista 200 color. Sent my rolls out for developing this week, I just didn't have the time or enough chemicals left. Should be interesting to see what Dwayne's does with them in comparison to what I do. I'm sure their scanner is better. Will get by camera store next week for more chemicals. I'm going to try ilford this time, maybe @limr could throw a caffenal recipe my way, might try that. I really want to try some rodinal too.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary had a bit of rain. Seems to be just a shower, but he thinks it has passed. No rain for his parade.
@Leo & JC: Gary has been thinking of some coffee developer as well.

Front Page headline in the LA Times: "Brown says California's long drought finally over".
Gary will take significant credit for this. He thinks the drought ending is a direct result from him digging up most of the front yard grass and replacing it with succulents and native plants. The remaining credit goes to God.

There is a wonderful little tree in the back, a Waterfall Maple. It is the lime green tree. A very slow grower, but Gary likes the shape and the color.

I found my daughter completely naked in her crib this morning. She managed to get her zipped and buttoned footsie PJs off and her diaper with no adult assistance.

I'm hoping she forgot how already. We were lucky because there was no collateral damage this morning.

Now just toss in a new diaper, and today's clothing, and walk out. You never know.
