The day started with Kathryn taking Snoopy for a walk then she went for a run.  When she got back I took her down to the office to register, one old guy who was visiting the office with some cookies said he'd like to see her in the swimming pool.  We went out to do some local wine tasteing and decided to try the Temecula Hills Winery.  After driving about 20 miles into some beautiful country on a bad road we came to the Winery and it was a beautiful site, but they did their wine tasteing at a different spot.  We did pickup a coupon from a box on the gate entitleing us to free tasteing, but passed in favor of the the VR La Cereza Winery, an award winning winery we passed on the way to Temcula Hills Winery.  We bought a pssport that entitled us to taste five wines at La Cereza and five at it's sister winery, Maurice Car'rie Winery.  I liked the Summer's End and Cabernet Sauvigon.  I was a very commercial setup and didn't have the ambiance of the Julian winery.  After the wine tasteing we went to the mall so Kathryn could compare stores to Minneapolis.  Stopped at Trader Joe's and picked up three bottles of Two Buck Chuck Charles Shaw wine.  It is called two buck Chuck because it costs $1.99 and the Chuck is from Charles in Charles Shaw.  We were heading back to do some grilling and Cathy was checking her email in the Hyundai hot-spot (I put the router in the car because we couldn't get a signal at Jojoba Hills) when she saw a thank you from US Bank for using on line bill paying for the first time, only she had never used it.  It was a case of identity theft and luckily it was scheduled for payment on February 13th.  The amount was $912.  She called the bank and got the account frozen and they gave us the address of a US Bank in a Von's grocery store.  We went over there and she spent 2 hours closing the account and transferring  everything to a new account.   Went back to the motorhome and had a rotisserie chicken and fresh vegetables stir fried in the motorhome by Cathy.
