Pumpkin Picking


We went to the Pumpkin Patch to find the Great Pumpkin... but left with a little one. Emma loved walking through the field and looking at all the Pumpkins, even the "baby ones".

Masters Northern Road Trip


Masters fall trip to Shanty Creek and Bellaire, Michigan.
Dave tried to kill us by doing the Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes... I knew my limit... only made it half way. Leaves something to do next time right? We'll see....

Also went to Shorts Brewing in Bellaire, the Huma-Lupa-Licious IPA made everything better... and Pizza helped too.
A definite Must when in northern Michigan

Obama Wants Me To Lose My Job

MJ Industries (a 3 employee, sole proprietorship) has to make more than $250,000 to cover payroll, contractor payments, rent, utilities, city / state / federal taxes, software maintenance, Internet and website, and more. That's assuming we don't ever make any money for computer and hardware upgrades, marketing materials, etc.
Obama wants to raise our companies taxes to 50.3 percent!
You tell me what will happen to MJ Industries and my job if that happens.

------
"Under Obama’s plan to let the scheduled 2011 tax rate hikes occur, and his plan to raise the self-employment tax on those making more than $250,000, the S corporation rate would rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The sole proprietor and partner rate would rise from 37.9 percent all the way up to a staggering 50.3 percent."
