DMV doesn't have paperwork from the dealership so I can register my truck. My temp tag expires tomorrow. This is annoying to me.
I'm going to run into this, too. Illinois dealership and Volvo Financial don't have their shit together, I can say with high certainty.

I am now lobster sun burnt, but it was a great ride and way better than working.

Getting food and then might go for another loop.

that's what you get for buying a bro-dozer
What exactly are the qualifications for a bro-dozer these days? It's a stock Ram 3500 diesel.

I called the DMV and the woman who answered (who was actually quite nice, fancy that) said I have to call the dealership and figure out WTF they did with the paperwork. In the mean time, I can either ask the dealer to issue me another temp tag, or go pay the DMV and pay $7.80 for the same privilege. Fun fun!

don't worry, you'll feel like this when you're done (and pass)

Passed - 76%. Not my best work, but I'll take it. Primary missed topics were taxation related issues and futures/options. Neither of which I deal with regularly and if I were, I'd have a CPA involved for taxation. I generally don't touch options beyond simple covered strategies, which this was way beyond. A bit on structured products, but the only assholes that sell those to normal retail investors are Edward Jones advisors and I'm not going to become one of those shady fuckers, so no concerns there.

Either way, I've gone back to plumbing and yard work. Replacing the internals on a toilet currently and already replaced 3 sprinkler sprayers with rotor heads plus mowed, weed whacked, bush cut, etc. Shit has been let to run wild for the last 2 months.

Good weekend. Had Friday off, so I kept my oldest home from preschool and we hung out, took him to a reptile zoo. Went out to the desert Saturday morning and went shooting with some buddies and then met the wife and family out in Palm Springs for some R&R. Nice to just get out of the house while they finish up the work. Approaching 6 months on the reno and starting to go crazy. I need my space back.

I'm with Tim on this one. Stock wheel/tire combo and stock suspension doesn't qualify for bro-dozer status, IMO.

Well, I'm still lobster sun burnt and didn't eat (much) food, but I found beer. Time for a donkey bike ride.

Ugh. Just did some rough calcs on the revised income tax numbers if I buy a house under the new rules. It’s grim. The CA tax rate and the LA median home price and resulting RE Tax make it look brutal for me to leave my rent controlled apartment.

I am always surprised when strangers let me take their bikes for a test ride. If I see a bike I think is interesting. I will in a nice way compliment the rider and ask polite questions about how it rides and stuff.
