    Tax prep woes ...

    One way to do your own taxes is to let a tax preparer do it for you and then in subsequent years just use the prepared return as a template. Keep doing this each year unless your tax situation changes and then do this again. You supply the tax guy with all your papers, you might as well do...

    What product to restore paint "moisture"?

    That's called an "Arizona paint job" when oxidized from being out in the sun. For 10 years I've been using Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax. It's a clear spray-on wax. You let it sit a bit and then wipe off. Pretty easy to do as it's a bit oily. I drench it on with like 2/3 of the bottle...
