bill_schubert | Tripping to Costco (Reply)

Now I'm half vaccined I am a lot more comfortable doing the crowd thing. So Costco in mid morning was the order of the day. Everyone was masked so I was comfortable and really did not pay any attention to proximity until I was actually crowding someone in line. She didn't react but I realized it was kind of tacky so I backed off. Things are changing for the better.

After doing my taxes online (but not completing them) I realized that the tax software was going to be pricey so I checked at Costco to see if the IRL version was less and it was. So I bought one and they actually had me wait while they unlocked the cage to give me a CD. It was so quaint. I got it back home and ran through the taxes again and this version has me paying $1300 more than the online version. So I'm gonna' be going through both to see what's what. I can't file yet anyway since I'm waiting for a final K1 that was due to me two weeks ago and, of course, the company has their head up their ass and I won't get it until May. Fortunately the gov'ment is OK with the delay to the 15th since they haven't finished my taxes from 2019 and owe me money.

Meanwhile I got a replacement keyboard today. Back to my old ergonomic Logitec. The third identical one I've had. It is huge but spread out and has the keys I want and am used to. Now if I can hold off a while before dumping my coffee in it I'll be happy. The Jelly one I bought as a replacement is a great backup. Just a little small and straight for my fingers. But I love that it is USB charged so it is a hot stand by any time.
