Here I am this am in the local park cleaning and organizing my Prius Van Home.
It seems I am forced to reorganize every week as I don't always put things back each time I use them. I have found that living in a small space there is no room for disorder.
This morning I am also buying time as I called this am for 5K mile service for my Prius at 10:15. at Precision Toyota that did my service work before.
I am charging my house batteries from last nights usage to power the fridge. I need to recharge the house batteries so I can run the fridge off of them while the car is in for service.
While in the park I noticed this Southwest commercial flight landing at Tucson and this Millitary fighter jet doing a fly around at the same time time at a different elevation of course.
It's in the 80's during the day outside and warmer in the car so I can't ignore that more than a couple hours without power now spoil my food. It's all about keeping the house batteries charged during the day so I can run on them at night without running the car. When I have service one the Prius I have to plan charging into the day.
I met Jason the service representative at Precision Toyota and he remembered me and said, "We're you not here for service just a few weeks ago?" I answered yes it was about 6 weeks and 5K miles later.
Another service tech asked about needing an oil change and I told him I had the same question for Harr Toyota. The manual says change oil every 5K miles and I was told to do it at 5K. Last time I was here it was suggested to be 5K so let's change the oil and rotate the tires. I ssid changevthevoil and rotate the tires for this visit.
I went into the waiting room and connected to their WIFI that was very fast. I was fast enough to update all my pending application updates.
I then put in my expenses to Quicken and then worked on my 2014 Taxes in Quicken. My taxes were just about done and just needed a check and s minor change.
There are two customer lounges and I chose to be in the quiet one to do my work. I had about an hour and a half before the Prius is done.
As I finished up I used my AT&T phone as a hotspot for a secure connection for e-filing my taxes. The problem is that I found an actual software problem with Turbo Tax.
The problem ws that after putting in your payment information and it says click her to e-file and when you do it does another check of your submission.
Ok every other year it does this and I have a business error and cluck to ignore butbthisvyearbyou can't go forward without addressing.
I go back to the business deductions and ensure I remove any reference to seeking a depreciation for a vehicle deductionand only want to use actual expenses, but the software keeps trying to address a problem that I fixed. Yup a software problem, so I get on the phone with Intuit after hunting for a phone number. I wait 25 minutes folr someone and have him my problem.
The service rep I have on the line gets higher technical support and comes back and tells me how to remove the form from calculating vehicle depreciation. Then I can e-file. A work around.
I had to pay this year to the federal government so I used the payment from my checking account electronically. This is a first and we will see how it goes.
Anyway, Intuit got around my Turbo Tax problem but they do have a bug that needs to be fixed.
After my service it was back to the park to make dinner and then I decided to go to the movies.
The movie Kingsmanvwas on my list so the theater was only 5 minutes away so I went to the 4:20 show.
I thought the movie was good. It is based on futuristic ideas and grounded in spy intrigue. I was entrrtsined and for me since it kept my interest so it goes on the better than average side.
When I came out of the show I was treated by a wonderful sunset.
