Mike Furness Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yah ...Good catch ... I guess I should admit to the 2012 return ... I just hate the process and am still reeling from the 2011 return ... must have still been in the back of my mind when I posted that. Wish we had a flat tax ... apply the % and be done with it!Mike F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm stopping here at 29 Palms rather than go home so I can beat the storm for a morning hunt. I was at the Top of the Hill this morning and found some junk but no real targets. I hung around Wickenberg and then decided to come back. When the urge says 'you're done' then I just go with it.When I left Prescott this morning I looked at Bonanza Road and there was too much snow. I guess Mike will get more of it over the weekend.Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Furness Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Only 30 degrees right now here in Prescott Valley ... and yesterday's wind has stilled. I was planning a day in the office today doing taxes but the sunshine, and cloudless bluebird sky is calling me out. Back later with picks of nuggets ... or not ... either way I'm headed out very soon ... just need to find the boots!Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
