Good morning again. It’s still cool in Wisconsin. -4f degrees now feeling like -24, but hey there! The SUN IS SHINING!
I am heading out beyond the curb this after noon. The grandson texted and I laughed and ignored it. Then he called. Was asking if I could come be a chaperone for 8 possibly 16 slot car racers. I said yes but only if he gets another if there are going to be 16 racers. 1/2 hour later he had 2 others. So from 1-5 I will be supervising slot car racers. They have been good kids and I except no issues.
I’m in the train room getting things organized for the rest of the day and week. We warm into the 20’s on Thursday but back to single digit highs on Friday and Saturday. So unless Terry gets real closed in feeling we won’t be venturing out too often this week.
I did set up my SADs light walls in the big aisle of the train room this morning. That took maybe 10 minutes. So far I haven’t needed them but better than sorry.
Had to stop at the Pharmacy yesterday for my 1st refill of the new year. This prescription has been zero co-pay for years. But because our politicians know what’s best for us and are allowing insurance companies to deny coverage I was dropped by my supplemental coverage. So after Medicare pays 80% I’m self insured. So my portion the pharmacy tech says is $246. I tell her I’m self insured after Medicare and what’s my cost. $246 she says, before I can say something the Pharmacist comes over and says to her he’s self insuring use this button. My payment $47. Insurance and medical billing are a scam. This coming from a guy who made good money selling collection services to medical businesses for unpaid debt
Have a great day

The eye doctor was out sick and his staff didn't bother to call anyone. Wasted 50 mile round trip. Then it appears that my PCP's staff didn't OK a prescription refill, twice now, even after I called them on Friday; so that stop was also a waste. We did mail some bills at the outside post office box, but I had forgotten MLK day and couldn't mail a small package that I wanted to mail. In addition, we had a package waiting notification in our mailbox from Saturday that I couldn't pick up either. At least the PO and pharmacy are just 12.5 miles away. The package waiting is from Chet, with some more stuff from his old layout, so that's a real disappointment.
