Tim, I'm an accountant. Your bean-counter should be suggesting tax breaks and other means of spending or investing the money to offset the pain. Still not as good as putting it in your pocket, but much better than supporting the idiots in Washington.
Let me know if you want to talk.
Was thinking the same thing i would be finding things that the business would need and purchased them to help off set some of that even if it wasnt needed right then. its still better then sending it to Washington

Leg day again, envisioned climbing the mountain while lunging!

Tim, you could always be a sponsor for outdoor activities or little league or something or donate to a charity you like better than DC.....

I fully understand buying trucks and big ticket items to offset your profits to pay less in taxes. Fully get it. I also understand donations etc. We just had a great year and November and December where awesome months. The economy is doing really good, WE just get to pay for how good we have done. I also believe in having a savings account so when the economy takes another down turn you have cash to hold it out. I much prefer having cash than having access to a line of credit. But right now I am in the process of redoing my quiver of delivery trucks and paying a shitload in taxes. I expected to owe, just not the amount I was thinking. I was thinking in the 30,000 range, I am over double that this year.

anyway I did work out this morning, but just did not have the intensity.

screwed up day today, found out a friend died doing what he loved. He was buried in an avalanche while snowmobiling. RIP Crazy Kanadian Dan Davidoff.

I did (5) 1 mile interval runs with a 1 minute break between each mile.
All 5 miles concluded in 33min+change. (not including the 1 minute breaks) Splits between 6:30 to 7:30 min/mile.
Never did anything like this before and now I see why! Probably benefit me later, but I was feeling it last night!

One of the best things I see in this thread is the consistent work ethic that is exhibited by Marcus in his quest to lose weight and become healthy. We all do it, but Marcus has started from such a deficit that most people simply quit or don't ever start. They die an early and often long enduring death after suffering many health disabilities such as diabetes, joint pain, gout, etc...
Congratulations Markus! Keep it up. I enjoy seeing your daily posts! You're going to be looking svelte for turkey season! :cool:
