Nothing like winning a lottery, or even anything most folks would think twice about, but good things are happening to me. Following on yesterday's electric bill of $13+ for March, I picked up two refills at Costco this morning. My blood pressure med usually costs me about $.84 for a 90 days supply, but this morning it was a whopping $.12. That is for 45 pills that I cut in half, which makes a 90 day supply. The other prescription was in the neighborhood of $54 last month, but I can't find my receipt for it. Today's refill was under $23. Every little bit counts when you are embarking on a long trip.
I also took my Highlander for an oil change, which was 1000 miles before a change was due, but I want everything to be OK before I leave.
I would like to post some more TDY pictures, if you can stand it.
The first picture is from a trip to Jacksonville, FL in Dec. 1985, and was taken on a little side trip to St. Augustine and the Fountain of Youth. I could just see the years fade away!
The next few pictures are from a trip to Wilmington, NC in June 1987, with a side trip to Cape Fear.
I don't know enough about ships to tell you what this is, but I think it is named the USS North Carolina or something similar. The woman in the picture is one of the team members.
And here I am:
In January 1988 I attended a class at Ft. Lee, Virginia, and this was my "classroom".
I managed to get in a side trip to Colonial Williamsburg, and spent some time in the stocks, and then another day to Washington, DC.
Tomorrow or the next day I might continue with Ireland, or a TDY trip to the Northeast, and Boston, Cape Cod, Vermont, etc. Or not.

ReplyDeleteI spent about three years working a contract job at G.E. Nuclear at Wilmington, NC. A nice area with lots to do.

That was a busy time at the end of your trip. Washington DC isn't that close to Williamsburg VA. They do look lovely in the snow tho', as do you!
ReplyDeleteI know you didn't ask for a vote, but if we were to vote my first pick is Ireland - but they are all sure to be special. :)
Enjoy!
