Almost heaven weather wise

The weather here has been as close to perfect as I can imagine. The daily highs are in the mid 80's and the nightly temperatures are in the mid 60's with virtually no humidity. Here is the 5 day forecast. I see we will be bothered by rain on Tue. Oh well.

We have been getting snippets of the local weather at home and we see the reality on line when we pay the bills ie. the hydro bill for Feb/Mar WOW!!!

Our tax information is in the mail. Hopefully we may even get money back this year because I had no additional income from the OPP.

I had to buy a new motor cycle battery this week,but what the heck, I got 6 years out of the old battery, that's awesome. I checked with the dealer and it was $135, then I called Batteries Plus and guess what? How's $85. Not too shabby.

I'm trying to find a way to get my MC home. I had no luck with friends and trailers but I did find a freight company who will take it ( terminal to terminal ) which is okay by me as time is not an issue, for $356. Done deal. I'll pick it up in Buffalo.

People( snowbirds)are now on their way home and traffic is again becoming more manageable(at least tolerable). Our understanding is that once Easter is over it will revert to normal. Golf prices will also go down considerably too. Yea!!!!!!Fort Myers,walking, after 330 pm for example...Okay this is ridiculous...$10.50.

Last Sunday, we went to Sannibel Big Arts theatre and saw Island Jazz.perform(a group of 8 talented musicians). What a great outing. It was a band of old vacationers,obviously professionals in their early years,and they played a lot of old standards from the 40's to the 60's. Fantastic outdoor,tea garden venue.

We were going to go to the Barbara B Mann Theatre to see the Million Dollar Quartet( impersonators covering Presley,Cash,Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis) but the ticket prices were(in our opinion) prohibitive. They wanted $83/plus $9 handling fees/ticket. Just a little rich to see impersonators.

On Tue. I went on a bicycle ride for 1 1/2 hours with the BBBC(Bay Breeze Bicycle Club).
I spotted a Utah licence plate. We now only have 5 states to go and we have see all 50. However, Hawaii could be a killer. We need North and South Dakota, New Mexico and Nevada. Good luck with them too.
In what other state could this happen? Oh well, we keep ourselves amused.

The trials and tribulations with DirectTV and ABC Financial continue. DirectTV will NOT give us(lump sum) the $189 remaining on the deposit. I did manage to get $50 dollars off the next bill. Whoopee. They will not give us programming credits either. The deposit is paid back in monthly $5 increments. So...you have to be a customer for 5 years. Nice eh?. So I cancelled all our specialty movies channels and saved over $100. Now I'll work on the last $89. LOL. I'm thinking basic satellite for the last two weeks.

ABC Financial(the managing organization for our gym membership at Around the Clock) is the same too.I was very specific when we signed the contract. It had to be month to month. We were leaving in June. They are asking for unbelievable proof(which I have provided) and still they are not satisfied. Oh well. I've done my bit. Wait till they try the credit card in June.

Then there's FLP(Florida Light and Power) I phoned them to cancel our service on May 29th. They brought up the $220 deposit not me, this will be applied to our last billing cycle and the balance will be refunded within 5-7 business days. Thank you. Wasn't that easy.

Well, Aprille just packed a picnic lunch and we're off to Light House Beach on Sannibel.

Later.
