Good morning!!!!

RNG- Thanks. We have been very fortunate to have bought, paid off, and to have been able to stay here. It's an interesting geo-bio-diverse +13 acre NE property with two shacks for $53.5K. We rebuilt one shack and the other used for junk storage will be razed when the insurance people start complaining. We've always been too cheap to upgrade and have no real reason to do so (no kids). We like the isolation/no neighbors. Some day a move will be necessary. Neither of us are in a real hurry.

After watching some guy plow my driveway most of the Winter last year due to my fractured patella it was nice to get some seat time this Winter.

I have yet to get new front R-1's as next week looks to be a warm/wet week and we are going to Costa Rico. I have been trying not to think about this trip. Only the known places with real highways this time (no AWD off-roading nor stream fordings this time) and we will have maps, GPS, and cellphone service. All I really need to worry about is getting into another brouhaha with a troop of Capuchin (White faced) monkey thugs at the Manuel Antonio State Park. I hate those

hissing yellow fanged monkeys more than the spider monkeys who just shower you with genetic material from the upper tree canopy..

I could use some fire water by the fire right now.

I'd probably never be able to find the old posts, but awhile back, we talked about the coming requirement for a REAL ID driver's license in the future. My driver's license did not have the star on it and didn't expire until 2023. The State (Texas Department of Public Safety) sent me a letter saying that for $10, they'd send me a new REAL ID license. So I sent that letter back with a check for $10 two days short of a month ago. And today the new license came in the mail.

Now my wife's license doesn't have the star either, and her license will expire in 2021, two years from now. She has not received such a letter.:confused3:

So I have no idea why I received such a letter and she didn't.:confused3:

Maybe a LEO exemption?

I’m guessing they are backed up with the change. In my state they had several issues with the new ID. You should call RMV and see what they say but have fun on hold!

Any chance you had the appropriate documents on file and she doesn’t?

I tried to schedule an appointment using our MVA webpage and the system didn’t work.

My sons have the new one, my wife and I don’t.

Tried to get my go kart running, want to sell it. It ran until carb cleaner ran out several times. I put lots of sea foam in tank, but couldn’t keep it running long enough to use it I guess.

Shuffled stuff around in barn to get go kart next to the door, behind the ZT.
Was going to stock more pellets on porch, but it started sprinkling so skipped that. I got 4 more days worth.

Did get extension cord out under the back barn door to use for Christmas lights, but didn’t get them up yet.

Try some B-12 Chemtool In the fuel. Works when Seafoam will not.

When I bring it up on amazon it’s $5.80.

Found it for $4.25 after a bunch of searching.

Also, this is spray, not liquid to pour in tank. But I ordered some since I was about out of carb cleaner spray.
