Yesterday I saved myself a 4 hour visit to the DMV. Since we have the license plates from the old car, I just went online and transferred them to the new one. It didn’t cost as much as I feared, and now it’s done. I even printed out the new registration. All we have to do is put the plate on the new car and we’re done. We’ll get the new year sticker for it in a few days.
We also had our meeting with a Medicare insurance agent. We ended signing up for a new policy with Humana that is not only zero premium but they pay the government $50 per month so our premium deducted from the Social Security payment will be $50 less than it would have been. It’s an experimental program, and from what the agent said, it was extremely popular during open enrollment (we weren’t limited to the open enrollment period because it is our first time signing up). We were speculating that by widening the pool of folks enrolled, they will spread the costs they incur over a broader base of incoming cash. They cannot change the rules in mid-year, so even if it doesn’t work out for them, they can’t stop until January 2019. That works out great for us for this year at least.
It got below freezing this morning (31), but the sun is shining in a clear sky so it will warm up later (61 forecast). There’s a wind advisory for tomorrow and Thursday (40 to 50 MPH) just in time to move the RV over to the dealership for service. Good thing it’s only a half mile from here.
Prayer group this morning, so I’m off to church in a little while. Everyone have a blessed day.
Good morning, Vagabonds.
