Received assumed name docs from ACCOUNTANT Cannon with intstructions for completing the form and how/where to file. ACCOUNTANT suggested that the necessary file be filled out and notarized and filed in person at Pasadena Courthouse Annex; 101 S. Richey eSt.; Pasadena 77506; ACCOUNTANT Cannon noted that after filing: “Once it is complete, we can apply for a new EIN. Then a new bank account can be opened and we can close the corporation as of July 31, 2023”; **DAD SAYS WE ARE NOT SHUTTING DOWN CORPORATION UNTIL ESTABLISHED IN HOUSE 100%** and I then communicated this to ACCOUNTANT.

Phone meeting with ACCOUNTANT Cannon at 10:30am - discuss statements, new Harris Tire DBA/Assumed Name procedure/also discuss first steps in possibly migrating all existing physical files/filing cabinets to home office and starting complete new on-site files for DAD to work with a shop. Noted to ACCOUNTANT and myself that in cases where DAD might need to have data from any legacy physical files moved to the house, he can call and I can find and convey the info (specific prices, etc.). Might be easiest to move everything here on the chance that ACCOUNTANT and I might have to regularly meet to discuss any items and eliminate the “files in two places problem considering that DAD will be bringing any new work home each day and I can file at house until he’s off property by end of July.

spent hour speaking with Greg at Westwood WM about DAD’s recent re investments and found out many points that should be discussed with Dan/DAD. Namely the single $xxxK investment in a single CD which is only FDIC insurance covered up to $xxxK there by leaving an obvious $xxxK loss potential should the single, lesser known bank that the CD is attached to fails. Better scenario is 3 CD’s at $xxxK each spread across three different banks so that DAD’s full $xxxK investment is 100% covered by FDIC’s maximum allowed coverage of $xxxK per CD. Also discovered that the Virg Col bond that $xxxK was invested in is categorized by all three major rating entities (S&P/Moody’s/Fitch) as a “Junk bond” which is considered “speculative” and a bad choice for investments. A suggestion from Greg was to invest $xxK aross 8 different mid to high grade INVESTMENT rated bonds and that putting the entire $xxxK in a single junk bond was more risky than his previous situation of being 100% in stocks.

Two hours with Dan simply trying to schedule a single phone call to speak with me about DAD’s investments; Dan continues to not be responsive to my meeting request and continues to not answer any specific questions I ask about DAD’s investments. When confronted on the xxxK CD investment not being fully FDIC insured he first screamed back at me that “FDIC INSURED MEANS IT’S INSURED!”; then, when I replied with the fact that no single CD invested at a single bank is insured beyond $xxxK, he suddenly changed his tune and sent me an immediate second email that he could spread the $xxxxK across multiple CD’s if that’s what DAD wanted which in essence was admitting he’d been caught in a lie and that what I said was actually accurate and that currently DAD has $xxxK invested in a single CD but only $xxxK of that CD is FDIC insured. The remaining $xxxK is 100% subject to complete loss especially considering Dan put the entire $xxxK investment in a single CD at a single bank

SATURDAY 08/19/23

Did the preliminary work to run a hardwire connection from DAD computer to home router and got rid of any wi-fi communications from his office/personal computer (much more secure). Decided to run the network cable through living room/bedroom windows instead of the attic as the attic is difficult to navigate. Properly insulated windows where they seal and considering the addition of the network cabling impacting proper closing. Used the ACCOUNTANTe foam stripping I used to seal the dinining room/porch doorway. Worked good and network connection is solid.
Installed shelving in personal/Joel office and boxed up several unneeded or non-functioning new items recently purchased from Amazon which need to be dropped off at UPS for return
Purchased two additional new office equipment items for testing and specifically to improve/upgrade our secure storage solution for personal/financial data; both items will possibly be returned if found to offer no value
Purchased various other office supplies like new black printer ink and a new box of printer paper.
Saved/noted copies of all recent AMEX 7005 invoices related to office/home purchases to print and give to DAD for reference with indication of amounts and purpose for each
Worked with Jada to have a annual subscription to a worthwhile computer antivirus service transferred into my name.
Informed ACCOUNTANT Cannon that Jada was still receiving balance updates from Woodforest Bank and that this needed to be terminated and also have myself added as the person who recieved any future balance statements related to Woodforest account.
Digitally stored/verified that all PaySafe credit card processing service/merchant accounts were legally signed and official
Spoke with Greg a bit about DAD’s financial arrangement with Woodstock WM and Dan/Covenant

SUNDAY 08/20/23

Installed new shelving in DAD office above his computer monitor
Spent 3 hours working out the technical details of ensuring that all of our office computers are scheduled for daily backups and also that a solid, multi level means of restoring any/all of them was in place and functioning. Several recent AMEX 7005 purchases were central to this process and will have to make DAD aware of these invoices and why/what they were for. But did succeed in setting up both a solid daily computer backup/imaging of all three home office computers as well as redundant methods to both store the daily backups but also to adequately and quickly restore any of the machines.
Spoke with ACCOUNTANT Cannon about the need to get any data I need in order to be assigned official access to Woodforest bank account info including online access as required.
Reviewed all upcoming work that needs to be done in quickbooks and regarding new invoices/deposits.

Spoke a bit with Greg about my latest request to Dan at Covenant for an overview of payment structures DAD is bound to with Woodstock Financial and Covenant. Dan did not simply send an overview of DAD’s current payment scheme but instead sent an official Docusign agreement requesting DAD’s signature which was very odd as it implied that an agreement was not already in place. Greg recommend to definitely NOT sign a thing and that Dan should be able to simply send over an overview of DAD’s current fee structure as it pertains to his existing agreement with Woodstock Wealth management and Covenant. Greg also recommended I ask for a complete, 3 year record log of all payments DAD has made to both Woodstock Wealth Mangement and Covenant and that nothing need be signed for that and it should be easily provided.

That was done and provided to hera as well as copies sent to Jennifer Beenan and Chris Lyle. I also created a secure download link/option in case TGS network restricted the size of email attachments since the digital binder was over 12mb.

Wrote up simple explanation of how FDIC and SIPC both work as solid insurance for both CD purhases and money market accounts like FDRXX, specifically showing how SIPC functions as dependably as FDIC but with a much higher maximum coverage per money market fund (500K vs 250K)

Began researching flow meter acquisition/installation//options for placement out of site on all main daily-use water pipes: kitchen/bathroom sinks, outside faucets, washing machine water input, DAD/Joel showers, water heater, etc. Point of beginning this project is to reconcile last months water bill (2000 gallons?!) with what I perceive as a much less use of water on DAD/Joel part throughout any given work week.Simple indication of inputs to do the work on this:

EXAMPLE: If two showers equals approximately ~20 gallons per shower (that’s slightly generous) then considering DAD/Joel take a max of one showers per week EACH, then that’s just 40 gallons for showering alone every week and across the billing month.. What piques my interest is where the other 1740 gallons went?

** one important factor is that I recently enrolled household in an “average based monthly’ pay plan so that 2000 gallon might be considering the entire time before (only a month ago) enrolling us in the month-average plan so will look into that too; immediate hunch is that it makes sense….
Verified my earlier effort to link DAD personal “savings” account at Woodforest (Emrld Pckge) bank with his investment portfolio at Fidelity; made plans to speak with DAD to determine how much he wants to move to SPAXX at Fidelity and how much he wants to leave in the “lingering” Woodforest savings account (Emrld).
