Wait til DVS gets hooked up to your medical records thanks to obamacare. They'll fix that.


Ah, Tuesday... Supposedly it's going to warm up later today. Maybe by the time I go to Axman it won't be cold out? Just cranked the heat up in the shop because 55F is a bit nippy for working. Sure would be nice to open the doors and get some fresh air going.


5 more hours of boredom at the CNC today, then some fabrication time afterwards, and then some errands. Hmm, sounds just like yesterday.

Well I just got new tabs and plates for the Stang. Must be a good day to visit the DMV. But once was a $38.50 bill has now turned into a $58.00 bill.......craziness. We need a flat rate renewal like Wis.

That would be my guess. Scott county raised mine from $5 to 10.

Yep, that you park a vehicle here doesn't mean they're entitled to more money from it. Of course I'd rather they charge us $5 once a year instead of adding another sales tax on fuel that would balloon into some significant inputs.


None of that chit in Crow Wing County. I can't wait to move up there and leave the metro behind.

I really like my neighborhood right now, but I'm tired of being in suburbia.

Up North it pisses me off that I can see the yard lights on the neighbors cabins when the leaves fall. They're 1/8th mile away - I shouldn't know they're even there!

I just got a street address last year (plat has never been lived on since the Indians). I still don't have a mailbox yet.

But no, I don't register anything up there. Anoka did away with the wheelage, and I don't park the big chevy down here so it'd never get hit with it anyway.


Finally took a pic of Sunday's handy work.




After the rain comes through I need to get the sticker residue off from the Edge stickers on my back window and the powerstroke stickers on the doors.
