This and that
Have just not been doing anything with food lately. Some grilling and we defrosted and inventoried the two big and one of the small freezers.
Haven't done much on the deck lately. Most of the floor is down, the next step has to be cutting up the old decking and putting it in the trash, but it has been raining so much I won't use electric power tools outdoors. I have tripped current fault breakers which is a good sign to stop. I could haul it into the garage, let it dry and cut it up there, and I will have to soon, but I really don't want to.
However I really can't put the railing up until I can use that saw outdoors. I'm not about to buy a 18v hand saw, just for this job.
There have been two good signs lately however.
I signed a consulting contract. I've been told that I can expect a week of work a month or so, or rather a project a month with most projects taking a week some longer. The rate is a little lower than I would like, even if it is more hourly than my salary was, but if there is travel, they will pay at the same rate for travel time, and have no objection to driving or paying for the extra time it takes, within limits.
The work should be fun and would seem to be right up my line. For years a greater and greater portion of my time has been taken up with the writing of technical standards for various Standards Development Organizations. This is something that is just on the legal edge of anti-trust. So there are explicit procedures which must be followed. I would be auditing some of these SDOs to ensure that they have been following proper procedure.
The other is that I got a call back from H&R Block on tax preparation training. The fact that I may not be able to make the first training session is not a problem. So they will be sending me further information, forms to sign and the like. I do have to promise to not 'hurt' their computers, so no food porn from there.

*shriek!* Does that mean you will be able to do taxes???

I've always done my taxes. I think the reason my wife married me is we met in Feb. and by April I was doing her taxes and saving her the fee. I was paid handsomely.
Now I use turbotax, and what took a painful week is now a painful afternoon.
