Some Good News for a Change and a bit of bad news too
I have good news, well and some bad news, to report today.
First the Good news, I was laying in bed last night when it finally dawned on me that even though my docs, my 92 page brief and all the supporting evidence, got deleted, I still have printouts of a lot of things from the previous years. All I have to do is scan them back in, or just make copies.
The other good news is I finally located some web sites, pages and documents, that have the much needed "fair value is not fair market value" phrase within them, I had originally found only one, a court case out of Colorado, today I am happy to announce I found several, and counting, pages using Gahoo/Yoogle, which if you don't know about it has a split screen with yahoo results on one side and Google results on the other, and yes most times there is a difference.
Here is the link WWW.gahooyoogle.com go ahead and try it out.
So things are moving forward.
I got a letter from the State Tax Appeal Board last week, it seems I forgot to include the notice from the county board when I filed for the appeal. They gave me 10 days [from the day they mailed it; May 1, 2006] to return it to them, I'm hoping that weekends don't count. I don't go to the post office everyday, sometimes only once a week or less. So I had only two days, if weekends count, to get it back to them. I sent a note explaining that I didn't get the letter until the 5th, didn't open it until the 6th and mailed it back the next possible day, Monday the 8th, it could get there by the 10th if it goes right through. I'm only maybe 25 miles give or take as the crow flies from Olympia, but 60 miles or more by road, the mail from out here on the other hand goes first to Portland Oregon and then back to Washington. I'm hoping it took the fast route.
The other Bad News, is I am still trying to recover the lost/deleted files. I got one program I could at least understand, plus it was Freeware, it found over 41,000 lost files. The problem is few of them were saved on a different drive, it recommends not trying to save on the same drive the lost files are on, and most of those found either won't open or are blank. I got a couple to open, they appear to be program files, like sample pages and such. I am almost ready to give up and start all over again, but I won't do that yet, there is way to much to get back, too much time involved, like the years it took me to create and collect them all. Not to mention some files that I actually bought.
More Good News
I got busy yesterday and did some dirt plowing and then planting, not to mention filtering out a lot of sticks and roots inbetween. It is going to take me a really long time to create the new garden plus. This old body is in loud rebellion with the digging and stick finding, throwing out, part. But with no one else left around here to share the chores I get to do ALL of them myself. So I now have corn [which is showing] green beans, edible pea pods, tomatoes [ several kinds], dill, cucumbers, pumpkins, radishes, zucchini [I got nuts and planted a whole row of the stuff], onions, and more to come. Plus there are the berries and grapes and the rhubarb here and there. Then the trees, apple, pear, and peach, so far only the three apple trees are producing, the others need a year or three more before fruit will grow. Now I need to prepare and figure out what else to plant in the acre plus of bare dirt still out there; maybe next year.
So keep tuned for updates, and if you read this let me know, if you are interested in my appeal let me know.
