Now I'm pressed for time. And I don't like it one bit. You would think that once ya hit the retirement age, you can sit back and enjoy life with no press'n issues. But low and behold, life ain't that easy.
"So what the hell you talk'n bout Billy Bob"??? Having to be at a certain place, in a certain State, at a certain time....that what I'm talk'n bout. Registration for "that jeep" expires Aug. 31st. Not being able to register online means I got to be there in person at the DMV in Deming to renew registration for another 2 years. This causes undue stress what I ain't supposed to have no more, be'n I'm retired an' stuff like that. On top of that, when I have to renew my driver license, it's a trip to south Texas for that....more freak'n stress. Then being pressed for time, in triple digit temps, I'm really stressed. Why don't I register "that jeep" in Texas where "Sally da house" is registered? Well, it's like this...in NM I can register for 2 years unlike Texas for 1 year. And "that jeep" ain't gonna pass Texas' stringent vehicle safety inspection standards.Why did I buy this POS?
Speak'n of safety inspections, "Sally da house" ain't had one in a couple an' a half years. This probly makes me a wanted criminal in the eyes of Texas. Now I got to drive all the ways across the state an' back stress'n out over get'n throwed in jail for 6 month an' fined a gazillion dollar over a stink'n inspection sticker. My house impounded at $30 a day and Sadie Mae put in some hick town communal dog pound somewheres. Ain't right them Texas laws.
Been off to the golf ball swak'n place again. What's with this 97 score ever time I go? I'll tell ya what it is...."ya ain't worth a crap Billy Bob"....that what it is. I were do'n fine up to the last hole, a 180 yards par 3. I can't get there with my trusty 5 wood, so's I pulls out my 3 wood.....gonna get me a par I betcha. Well that 3 wood ain't all it's put up to be. It don't go straight....and I knowed that. See that sand trap over there on the right? Well that where my ball go. I would rather swak a ball out of water than swak one out of sand and I proved it....4 over par on the last hole. A 3 wood is easy to break slap in two if'n ya get pissed and hit it across a tree.
That "billy bike" is still sit'n out there in the yard. Ain't moved a inch. I just sit there look'n at it. But sit'n there look'n at it, I got me a idea to modify it even more than just tak'n the fenders off. Last time I rode it I was think'n if'n I was to move the crank peddle thingy a little forward it gonna be easier to peddle. Here what I'm think'n. Find me a old throwed away bike on the side the road, cut the crank thingy off'n it and weld it to the "billy bike".....bout 4 inch forward of the one what on it now. That would work....right??? Yeah, I like to modify stuff. Can't wait to put a motor on it. Go a hunnert mile a hour ya know.
Hmmm,,,you could go thru OK,,and the fires. And their temps. Then maybe you'd be glad to come thru here next time.
ReplyDeleteWell Trouble, since I ain't lost nuttin in OK, why would I go out of my way? I'm look'n for temps to be on the cooler side in the next 2 3 (two three) weeks....what ya think?
Deletelol Who knows? I always HOPE so.
DeleteInspections are a waste of time in Texas. It is just so someone can fill up his pockets with money. They don't even pull a wheel to check the break pad thickness. Just drive it a few feet to see if it stops and check the lights and the turn signals. That is about it. Unless you got a small car with all that pollution crap on it, they check that stuff. I could of told them my brakes work. How the heck do they think I got stopped to get it inspected?
ReplyDeleteI agree Dizzy bout not inspect'n stuff. Had to unhook "that jeep" just to back up 10 feets. WHY???
DeleteDon't know if you know this or not but in Texas you can get your Drivers License renewed at any DPS office. I'm in the Midland area and always stop in some little town where there is no line. Love your blog, just don't comment very often. Have a great day!! Tonya
ReplyDeleteTonya, the driver license ain't really been much of a issue. Don't need one for another 4 years, but after this one, I'll have to get it renewed every year....age thing ya know. Also can renew registration on "da house" by mail.
DeleteBB, According to google maps Deming is at most 6 days of travel away from you. That means you have 2 1/2 weeks left before you "have" to leave. Is there some serious penalty for bringing the jeep into NM late for registration? I am totally Texas on everything so I do not know what NM requires.
ReplyDeleteOnly penalty is if you drive it in NM with expired registration. Think it is $10 fee.
DeleteHeck you might even stop a day short in Carlsbad to register it. Red Bluff Lake at the Tex/NM has free camping there. No hook ups at all as I understand it. There is free BLM land all around Carlsbad too. Some of it that I checked out is not bad either.
DeleteIf Sally the house is draggin' it, that ain't drivin' it.
ReplyDeleteGary
That's right Gary, did that 2 years ago.....no fee.
DeleteSo why don't you registar everything in NM and change your license there too? Do you know someone who lives there and will let you use there address? Or a P.O. Box ?
ReplyDeleteGood luck and don't stress its bad for the attitude
JoJo, since I gave up my homebase in NM, I don't actually have an address real there no more.....but I don't tell DMV that. The jeep is the only reason to go to Deming....other than "pesky neighbor" Wayne.
DeleteDoes look like something that needs to be simplified a tad. Lots of road time just to getting it all done.
ReplyDeleteHope you find a simple solution, my friend!
