Re: AARP Hartford home and auto insurance.

My previous insurance left the state. I did do auto thru them by merely duplicating the coverage I had previously. Their quoting machine will let you shuffle different coverage's and you see the quote update on line almost immediately. I saved $400 on a 6 month quote. I had to do the online driving course and subscribe to True Lane for an extra 10%. Driving course was semi-brutal to be able to hang on to the end over several days for me. :( I still have 4 months left on my home insurance, then the hunt begins. The do not write Home Ins in Fl.

They sent me an email wondering if I would be willing to teach a local course on driving. [I did not respond :shock: ]

Get a 20" gas mower from WAL.... for $200. Add 2 year warranty for $16. At the end of 2 years, put old one in a garage sale then repeat. You probably don't even need to change oil etc unless you feel the need. :D

Major problem with squirrels on my outside parked truck. First noticed droppings in the engine bay. Air intake comes thru the fender well sealed with a piece of foam that was missing. Looked at the air filter, was full of nuts and nesting material. Fixed that by putting a 1/2" screen over the fender well opening. One day noticed the smell of gas, upon investigation, found fuel being pumped out of the fuel tank when the engine was on. This one, had vehicle towed to mechanic, he found they had eaten thru the fuel line on top of the tank. Had to drop tank and replace hoses and plastic right angle connector. $400.

All we do is check to make sure they calculated it correctly (just to be responsible - they've never made a mistake). And once a year at tax time I adjust the withholding percentage based on his evolving tax situation.
