Maybe a New Space

Early yesterday morning I went to the office to pick up the WiFi password and to find out about newspapers. We only really care about the Sunday paper since it is full of coupons. Anyway, I was told that our original space was not inadvertently assigned, but the space did not have an electric meter on it. See, we will get a $40 per month credit toward the electric bill while here and we have to pay the difference out of our pay. The problem that we have now is that this nice space we are in also is without a meter so we will have to move to a site that has one. Kathi, the manager, told us what site we would be assigned and we went to look at it on our way out to the store. It is not even close to being as nice as the space we are in so we will talk to her again today about other arrangements. Maybe they could install a meter on our site or forget the $40 electric credit. We'll find out.

We stocked up on some things at Costco and had our lunch there. Another thing we wanted to accomplish while out yesterday was to fill the one propane tank that was empty. We figured that we could fill the tank while in Desert Hot Springs checking out the local Vons grocery store. Wrong. We drove all around the town and never found a station that dispenses propane. Sheesh! There were tanks all over that you could exchange, but that's not what we needed. We finally found one on the way home that is just about a mile from us and they charged $3.59 a gallon for propane. When your the only game in town I guess you can charge anything you want.

Today we will fill out our paperwork for the Workamping jobs. Kathi has indicated that we will be working Tue-Thu for 5 hours each day. This will be a good arrangement for us until we can find something that pays a little better. We will be fine here at least until after Josie completes her commitment to the flower shop during Valentine's week. We are hoping that our weekend trip to the Sierra's will be fruitful...
