Spending the year dead for tax purposes

I know that posting has been very very light these days. Been busy with a new relationship -- her 20 year old son came out this weekend. We spent a wonderful evening playing music -- guitar for him and keyboards for me, I helped him forge his first knife blade (he collects swords) and we spent yesterday at the Introductory Pistol training class -- lots of fun! The class was very well taught -- I have not had much formal firearms instruction but the people at Next Level Training were 100% professional and the quality of instruction was wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend them for anyone -- Lulu will be taking their Women's Only Pistol Course on the 23rd. Spending today putting handles on the knives (I made a kitchen utility knife) and we may play a bit more music. The Cob Oven I mentioned a few days ago was written up in our local newspaper: Foothills Gazette: Maple Falls residents build community cob oven More posting in a few days...
