Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Prayers for RNG this morning that his home is ok.

51 going up a little today in sunshine, then very cold tonight.
Helper coming this morning, we will work on leaves and cleanup, then this afternoon I go to the Blue Star Memorial
event at the local rest stop, dedicating a new marker.

Buppies, congrats. You just saved about 8 grand in medical costs annually. You made it...

hope you all have a nice weekend.

33 right now and a light coating of snow on the lawn and walks. High, about 4o today and some rain.

Chores...maybe a dump run, pick up some groceries and beer. That's about it for today...

Signed up for Medicare part A and B

Hope you have signed up for a good Supplemental and D plan to go with A & B.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 22° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 37° with cloudy skies. Bedroom furniture was picked up and put in bedroom. It was heavy. Solid oak construction. No plans for the day.

Buppies, prayers your arm is feeling better.

RNG, best wishes that your home was spared from damage.

Eric, i will offer my help. You do pay travel, lodging and per diem. I work cheap. :confused3:

Ed, I have a 3/4" masonry bit around here someplace.

Looking, here is a good conversion program for Windows.

Good Morning All.

40 and clear, going to 49 and winds up to 26mph.

Warmth from the woodstove feels good. Buppies, if we are going to get somewhere between the Ed and the Randy snow, I better get out and cut some more firewood.

RNG, the news reports have looked tragic. Hope you are safe and all of your hard work with fire breaks had paid off.

Buppies, I just signed up for Parts A and B on Tuesday...take effect next year, so have been shopping for whether to get a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medigap and Part D. I've been using a nice website that shows coverage and compares plans...a website provided by my current private healthcare coverage, which I also have to sign up for next year to bridge the period before Medicare coverage, and to cover my younger wife (I think she says she is still 29.) I have been getting (but don't answer) as many as a dozen phone calls a day...many were for the election, but just as many are to sell Medicare supplement plans. Who tells them who is turning 65 next year and their phone numbers?

Eric, I hope your concrete-pecker has quieted down. Glad you got your suicidal lamb off the farm.

If you believe the weather guessers 28 to 40in heavy wet snow and ice as well

I was hoping for a 2012 style winter, but we get what we get. I’ll get the snow shovel and tractor ready.

33 degrees even down south here this morning, but supposed to be clear and sunny and going for a high of 51.

And wngsprd, even after you get everything settled in regards to Medicare, supplement, Part D, etc., you still get lots of phone calls and mail trying to sell you something during the open enrollment period each year.:laughing:

Sometimes I wish it was more like the health insurance of 50 years ago; no trying to determine which plan was best; just one plan, and the only decision was to take it or leave it.

I just signed up for a new supplemental plan, I switched from Plan F to Plan G. I’m likely to spend that $183 in deductibles either way and I’m saving $54 a month from my old State Farm plan, now with Cigna.
Also switched prescription plans but not sure I’m saving anything there, they are most confusing.

Buppies and RNG, special prayers, God bless us all.

Yeah, but you into November with the winter you’ve got, not the one you really want...��

The winter of 2013/2014 was pretty bad here. Record snow and record cold. Lost our power here for 14 days from November thru March . I had snow under some trees April 20! 2 of my neighbors, both widows, moved out, said they couldn’t handle another winter out here.
