Interesting. At the bottom of the page it says 2021 and cites the Transportation code sections. There is not much in that law than can be an an opinion and it should be state wide. It's a mystery. When I took my mom they went exactly by the book - in person, vision test and over 85 good for 2 years only (and she had to produce a birth certificate).
Yep, it's a mystery to me, too, Don. I DID have to take my birth certificate, so they sure knew (or should have known) my age. Two employees there looked it over BEFORE the one who did the actual renewal, and she looked at it, too. AND she had my old driver's license as well.

Is there any possibility that your driving record is taken into consideration? I sure didn't think so, but my last traffic ticket was when I was 23 years old; 58 years ago and a year before I became a police officer. I also supervised the department's safety officers at one time. And the last accident I was even involved in was when I was rear ended by a young lady on a downhill slope on a rain slick street about 17 years ago. Even with some high speed chases that ended with the vehicles I was chasing crashing, I was never involved in the crash.

Yep, I'm proud of my record and figure I'm as good a driver as I've ever known.🤣 But every time I get behind the wheel, I figure today may be the time I crash again. I figure anyone who says he won't have an accident is kidding himself.

And the only reason I went into the new DPS office last week to start with was to see what it was like because my daughter has had so many problems getting appointments in another city for my granddaughter to get her license. So today is the granddaughter's birthday; she's 17 and hopes to finally get her license today at this new DPS office.

First cup of coffee is cooling. 53° with fair skies this morning. Heading to 81° with mostly sunny skies. Got trimming and garden pond maintenance done yesterday. It was so nice out that I put Flail mower on tractor and mowed side and back fields. Will go out later today and clean up areas where I missed.
Always something to take a picture of from my yard.

Good morning all.

Last night we had just sat down after tea to enjoy a cup of coffee when I noticed sheep at the top of the shed field. Not an unusual sight, except I had shut them out earlier to do some spraying.
Jumped in car to drive up and see what was going on. What the *!@K

That's the last time I let sheep watch the Olympic weightlifting. :giggle:

Good morning! One of the coolest mid Summer mornings at 70˚F mostly clear skies heading to 90.
With the .75" rain we had Monday the grass took off making this a mow day as soon as the dew evaporates.

The two 5 game card session this week were extreme - one I lost 4, one I won 4.
Optional activities today include seat time and pool time, garden time.

Eric, did the sheep lift the gate off the hinges?

Bird, My mom has no tickets so the mystery continues. If you go with your granddaughter to get her license I would not ask them to solve the mystery - you might get your 9.5 year expiration date changed.

Good morning.
It’s 60 going to upper 70’s with partly cloudy skies and no rain today.

Yesterday was the same weather as today, got all the mowing done with my grandson on my lap. He hears the tractor and gets his mother to bring him up to help. Picked up some Baltic birch plywood for the speakers I’ll be working on today. It’s now $100 a sheet. It didn’t go up when the commodity sheet lumber did, now that stuff is coming down and the Birch skyrockets, go figure.

When I finished mowing and brought my grandson home, I stopped in to see how the flooring was going. It looks pretty good.
It’s interesting as the layers of the onion are peeled back and see the various changes and updates to the 200+ year old farm house as it reverts back to rustic.

This morning, I’ll pick up son at the GMC dealer as he drops his truck off for inspection. Then back to the shop to cut up the golden sheets of birch and turn them into speaker cabinets.
