    This seems fishy. You get notified in early January and they want payment by the end of January? Are you sure it's not a scam?

    I only say that because last year I got a letter saying that I under reported income and owed 10k. They thought we made extra money from selling stuff on Amazon, which we didn't. We've never sold anything on Amazon. It was clearly fraud and I wonder if that's what's going on? Or maybe a scam? That's what I thought mine was at first, but the letter was legit.

    Anyway, after sending a letter to the IRS explaining the situation, that didn't suffice. So we ended up filing a fraud claim with the FTC or some similar agency and notified the IRS accordingly. That did the trick and the IRS backed off. However, in all of that, they never demanded payment so soon. That gave us like 3 or 4 months to respond each time. But my cheeks did pucker so I definitely empathize. I consulted with a tax attorney at the beginning and he set me straight and just told me what forms to file. I can dig all that up if needed.

    This hits close to home.  I received a text message tonight telling me that my phone had been compromised on some pron sites and the only solution was to download the enclosed link and pay them money to resolve the situation.  Thank goodness that I did that and am now in the clear!

    I always carry at least $500.  I'm old school that way.

    And $1,000 in my passport wallet, which stays in my briefcase.

    Exactly.  She has trouble dumbing down her message and ideas for the morons.

    That might explain why she dropped out of the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary in March, 2020 -- two days after Super Tuesday, no?

    What was the steakhouse over in the Gateway development, across from Arboretum?  It was really popular for 15 minutes around 2000?  

    Are you thinking about Reed's Jazz and Supper Club?  That was a two-story space.  A Reed Clemons deal.  It started out as Mezzaluna II, then reincarnated as the Jazz and Supper Club.

    That's what I want.  I've found there is a world of difference between a truly special Italian place and one that is good.

    I think Andiamo and Sienna both fit in the truly special places category.  Of these two, Andiamo has less atmosphere, but it is closer to The Domain.

    OXO Good Grips Can Opener + Reviews | Crate and Barrel

    I found an old school hand crank can opener in a drawer and tossed that electric thing. 

    The electric one gets left out on the counter, has a plug, gets dirty, and takes up space. Its also ugly and offers no efficiencies. If it looked like R2D2, that would be cool, but it doesn't. 

    Old school hand crank is the way to go. 

    Aren't you fancy?  Old school P-38 is the way to go.

    Yep loved growing up in the 70's, buying beer and liquor at 16, but damn their pizza was horrible.  It was the first pizza I had ever eaten, and it was so bad I never tried pizza again for probably 8 years.

    A couple of us 15-16 y/o HS guys made friends with a certain Pizza Inn waitress who wouldn't card us when we ordered beer and wine.  Pizza wasn't great, but underage beer and wine was the best!

    King Air is probably a no go. C90 just doesn’t make sense and there are no reasonable 200s right now.

    We have a good line on a Cessna 421C. Anyone flown on one of these? 

    Best friend had a 421C for many years.  Great plane.  Plenty fast, high, and good range.  He put in a new glass cockpit and was comfortable flying it by himself, but always appreciated having somebody in the right seat to help with radios/ATC, and such.

    Best of luck.

    32 degrees with windchill of 22 and I’m out here watching for one or two more doe to fill the freezer. And in the back of my mind I’m thinking “this is too fucking cold to have to clean a deer”. I guess I’m officially getting old

    We are having a TPWD sponsored youth hunt at our lease this weekend.  They are planning to take 30+ does -- that will spare us old guys of all that work cleaning deer!

    Enjoy your outdoor experience.

  10. The best thing about the NEISD enchilada recipe is that it absolutely nails the chili gravy.  You can't buy that in a can!

    OTOH, the NEISD homemade enchilada sauce is pretty indistinguishable from the generic canned HEB red enchilada sauce.  I now use that when I make a batch of cheese enchiladas.

    Prepping again for another in the am.  I'm hungry.  Just one blowout so far.
