Even in retirement, there are a myriad of chores (as many retirees already know) that present themselves to be accomplished on a routine basis.

Our grocery chain has a &#8220;GAS REWARDS&#8221; program where we can get up to a dollar discount per gallon up to 25gal. It so happened that we had enough rewards for fifty gallons of fuel, so I drove the RV to the station that accepts the rewards here in town and pumped in 44 gallons of diesel at a dollar off the advertised price. Paying $1.99<sup>9<\/sup>\/gal is a whole lot better than the last time we fueled up in <a href=\"http:\/\/reynosawatch.org\/minstrel\/2017\/11\/20\/fill-er-up\/\">rip-off Kalifornistan<\/a> at the $3.55<sup>9<\/sup>\/gal price tag over there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We use a calendar application on the home computer to remind us of things we need to do.
