10:25 PM rue_mohr: (flames) "gshshshshshshshghh"
10:25 PM zhanx: total hours worked this week = to many
10:26 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, now i know why you come home and crash
10:26 PM rue_mohr: your gonna accidently kock yourself into the next tax bracket
10:26 PM rue_mohr: knock

10:26 PM rue_mohr: ah, so your working for free
10:27 PM zhanx: if this keeps up kind of
10:27 PM rue_mohr: aka, *just* in the bottom of the bracket
10:27 PM Tom_L: ok both printers are adjusted now
10:27 PM zhanx: i made 2500 this week
10:27 PM Tom_L: used #ifdef to make them the same in code
10:27 PM zhanx: bit more but taxes will kill that, and that 2500 is after expenses it looks like
10:28 PM Tom_L: nice
10:28 PM zhanx: Tom_L, that was a lot of hours to make that
10:29 PM zhanx: but i was able to give some happiness to the kids so it was worth it
10:30 PM Tom_L: you're an officer of the corp right?
10:30 PM zhanx: yep
10:30 PM Tom_L: you need to set yourself up on the payroll
10:31 PM zhanx: no pay check for me yet
10:31 PM Tom_L: then take a percentage and pay it out as profit distribution
10:31 PM Tom_L: unless you have other officers that won't make that worth while
10:31 PM zhanx: i don't
10:32 PM Tom_L: the kicker to that is you will have less SS on retirement
10:32 PM Tom_L: because it's not shown as income per se
10:33 PM zhanx: my SS will be ok due to all the years i worked if we still have it
10:33 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1120812.jpg
10:33 PM Tom_L: what age does yours kick in?
10:33 PM rue_mohr: the linear position sensor
10:34 PM Tom_L: that
10:34 PM Tom_L: that's not a smelter
10:34 PM zhanx: i can take it now if i want Tom_L due to army disability
10:34 PM Tom_L: yeah
10:34 PM zhanx: but i can make more now then that
10:34 PM Tom_L: i know
10:35 PM Tom_L: i'm gonna wait as well
10:35 PM Tom_L: you can still earn quite a bit even if you take it
10:35 PM Tom_L: you pay income tax on both though
10:35 PM zhanx: true but i am making well over that right now
10:36 PM Tom_L: SS and regular income
10:36 PM Tom_L: it will just increase your SS funds
10:37 PM zhanx: true
10:40 PM zhanx: Tom_L, after i get the low voltage license i have a feeling i am set
10:42 PM Tom_L: they'll just want you to do something else
10:42 PM Tom_L: and you'll get another license...
10:42 PM zhanx: which i will have to find out later
10:47 PM Tom_L: did you do some checking on the low voltage licence yet?
10:47 PM Tom_L: what you need to do...
10:48 PM zhanx: yep it is the 60 hour course but i can also just pay and take the test
10:48 PM zhanx: waiting....
10:51 PM zhanx: Tom_L, that is like half finished
10:53 PM Tom_L: what is?
10:54 PM zhanx: i got your statement after i said that
10:57 PM Tom_L: ok these forms are done.
11:36 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, thanks but you didn't need to do that
11:37 PM rue_shop1: :}
11:37 PM rue_shop1: its pretty cool
11:37 PM Tom_L: ?
11:37 PM Tom_L: what is
11:37 PM rue_shop1: it'd help if I could get my energy off its ass
11:38 PM rue_shop1: need to make sure I weld up a good frame for the small metal cnc
11:54 PM rue_mohr: perspective
11:54 PM rue_mohr: I need to stop and get myself some perspective
11:55 PM rue_mohr: I have a few overall problems
11:55 PM rue_mohr: the house needs to be changed
11:55 PM rue_mohr: and I need to leverage some things for income
11:57 PM rue_mohr: I'm bunching up on things I'v collected for resources
11:57 PM rue_mohr: its apparent that getting an item like a printer to strip for parts comes with a particular time investment to process
11:58 PM rue_mohr: uncertainty about what I'm going to need material wise for projects makes me require a pretty damn broad resource list
11:59 PM rue_mohr: I have indications that the resources I have now will go a LOT further than my paranoia indicates
