Happy Boredom

According to the IRS Stimulus payment schedule page, my economic stimulus check shouid have been sent May 23rd because my social security number is within the numbers 10 through 18.

I haven’t gotten my tax stimulus check from Uncle Sam yet and it’s pissing me off. Today is already June 3rd. It usually doesn’t take 11 days for any piece of mail to cross the country into my mailbox. I wonder when my check will arrive.

My mailman frequently puts the wrong mail in the mailboxes. Maybe my neighbor stole my check. Damn neighbors.

I am pleased to report that my purchase of the Toyota pre-paid maintenance plan and the Toyota 7 year / 100,000 mile extended warranty that I purchased from Warranty Shack — a.k.a. Toyota of Greenfield in Massachusetts — is going well. My check was cashed and and I received the receipt and original paperwork. The vouchers will come to me straight from Toyota in a few 2 weeks. In the confirmation letter I received from the dealership they make their profits by sales volume. That’s why I’m blogging about it.

Final costs were $875.00 for the pre-paid maintenance and $990.00 for the 7 year extended warranty. Total outlay $1865.00. That is a princely savings of $785 when compared to the $2,650 price tag at City Toyota in Daly City, CA.
