Watching the Mariners

Tonight is the Opening Game of the regular season for the Seattle Mariners. They are playing in Oakland against the Athletics.

One of the things I really like about having satellite TV with a waiver that allows us to get stations from both the East and West Coasts is that we can plan our evening so that we can watch some shows like Castle on the West Coast feed later tonight. We watched Dancing With the Stars early on the East Coast feed. Kind of the best of both worlds...

Except, it would be a whole lot better if the Direct TV guy had been able to install the new satellite receiver with a built-in recorder. Then we wouldn't have to worry about juggling times in order to make sure we get to watch everything we want...

This was an expensive day for us! We went over to the office and paid to stay another two weeks here. Unfortunately, you can now only stay for seven nights with the 50% Passport America discount. We were able to use the Good Sam 10% discount for the second week. We also paid the March electrical bill which was $91.

While we were at the headquarters building, we went to the Post Office and picked up the mail Daughter MM had sent. In the box was the bill from our accountant's office for doing the ranch taxes and the lovely package of personal property tax bills from the Adams County Treasurer (the county the ranch is located in). By the time I wrote checks for the accountant's office and the first 1/2 of the Property Taxes, we were feeling pretty poor. And to add insult to injury, the wheat price dropped over sixty cents per bushel today!
