Aloha and Welcome to my small speck of cyberspace! Dec 8, 2010 is the birth date of my blog. Never had one before, but my son encouraged me to have one, and it seemed like a good way to at least keep a log of my RC airplane building and flying. With the initial design kicked off by my son, I'll carry on from here and have fun with it. Now that I have it, I will use it to also keep track of my oil painting efforts, and any other ideas, hobbies, travels, or whatever else that come up. LIFE IS GOOD!

Update on 02/25/2011. It's been a few months since I began this blog, and I am enjoying creating and having it! I like documenting the things I have done in my hobbies, and sharing with my small family. I think Jer and Tad actually view it fairly regularly, as a means to see what I've been up to lately. At worst, it serves as a reference for my own use.

Update on 12/22/2011. This blog stuff is habit forming. My blog is a year old now, and I make an entry about every other day or so as that seems to be the frequency of doing something in one of my hobbies. Like my hobbies, this blog is a lot of fun, and it has become in itself another hobby that I enjoy.

Years are flying by...update on 01/11/2013. Still enjoying maintaining this blog even though hardly anyone sees it. I don't advertise it anywhere or to anyone, and it is mainly just a way for me to keep my own notes and thoughts on my flying, painting, and cars. If a stranger happens upon it, I think it is by pressing NEXT at the top of the current blog they are visiting, lol. It's a great device for me.

August 2014: still here! Took up flying RC helicopters one year ago and got hooked. Had flown micro Helis up to then, but got serious with 450 size for a couple months, then bought the Goblin 500 and Gaui X5 . Also got my Boxster in April 2013. Most importantly, Ariel was born 12/02/12 followed by Skylar 07/20/13, and they are little beacons of joy in our lives. Life is indeed good!!!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING SAVINGS BOND CALCULATOR WITH OLD SAVINGS BOND WIZARD INVENTORY FILES

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING SAVINGS BOND CALCULATOR
WITH OLD SAVINGS BOND WIZARD INVENTORY FILES
(I came up with this to work around incompatibility of CHROME
browser and file saving abilities of the SB Calculator, 12/03/2019)
(And I am posting it here to have another readily accessible set of
instructions for when I cannot find the others, lol!)

1. Open the main bond file(SBW extension, BAK type of file)
by double clicking it.  This would be the file reflecting the last redemptions,
such as EDUBOND2AFTERREDEEMINGOCT2018.

2. Select and delete bonds that will be redeemed (typically
Wells Fargo main Salem downtown or Keizer branches).  Save new SBW
file with same name as in #3.

3. Export remaining file from Savings Bond Wizard to new file name
reflecting new last redemption date such as
EDUBOND2AFTERREDEEMINGNOV2019.  (It will save as a CHROME file.)

4. Open the CHROME file to see bond values in the SB Calculator for
all remaining bonds.

5. In SBW file, cut redeemed bonds, paste in new file, name like
RDMNOV2019.SBW.  Print the list which I save in the annual tax return envelope
for each calendar/tax year.

6. Note that the SBW and CHROME files saved in #2 and #3 are for
values as of 6/2015.  When you double click on GO TO SAVINGS BOND CAL-
CULATOR, the calculator opens to the CURRENT redemption date.
