The weather finally gave us a break today. The local weather report said this was the fourth day of the month with sun. I don't remember the other three, but it was good to see the sun today. In fact, the cold temperatures will likely make for a record electrical bill this month. The tide remains very high, especially for this time of year. In previous years by December the mitigation site is almost out of water. Not this year.
I finally saw a shrimp boat working just past the pier today. At first I thought it was working for oysters, but the nets were out. They didn't stay very long and headed over the horizon.
The Kruegers from North Dakota have arrived and are in 305 this year. I don't believe they have stayed in the same condo twice. I think this makes six different units.
We have a lot of lights out again. We are saving money without an employee, but its starting to show. The crossbridge has one out of three fishing lights working. The lights behind the 500 and 600 building have only two of six working. The Phase I pier lights don't work at all, but when they are on, five lights are out. I saw J.R. driving through last evening maybe he was making a list.
The Sanders(508), the Porters(206), and the Westburgs(505) have arrived this evening for the weekend. There are new owners of 302 from Arizona who just closed two days ago. I have not seen them yet. New buyers of 301 will close after the first of the year. They are from the Houston area.
This has been a good month financially. Almost $8,000 has been paid by owners who were behind on their payments. This will help as no unusual bills came in this month. The HOA did pay the insurance bills for owners who had not already done so except in one case where the bill was paid by the HOA and the owner had already paid Commercial Insurance Solutions two months ago. They will owe us some money back.
