The Legalities - Day Three
In case you missed days 1 & 2
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
This time I am not messing around with work first thing in the AM. My back is now killing me - I can hardly walk at this point. I'll work later after this all comes together.
I don't really know what goes on in the universe or how one day can be so frustrating and the next be so gratifying, but this was what was about to happen to me. It's like some kharmic yin and yang thing that just keeps the world in balance. Who am I to question it, though? I am just grateful for the experience!
I pull up to the trailer and realize that I had not connected the ground wire to the trailer.
"I wonder if that would fix the tail light issue?"
Sure enough, with the lights properly grounded, they work like a charm!
I head to the tire place. The guys at the Goodyear at the corner of 10th street and Wilson get my tires on, and me on my way, in about a half an hour.
"Damn this day is going smoothly. 'Wait for it'."
I pull into the DMV. Again, no line. Straight to the front for me this time. The same guy who told me that I had failed greeted me with a smile.
"All fixed up?"
"Yep, should be good to go!"
20 Minutes later, I am off to the DMV with a brand new inspection sticker on my trailer and my passed inspection paperwork in hand.
The DMV goes VERY smoothly. It took an hour or so, but in the end, I walked out with my brand new license plates, all valid and quite legal.
Next to get the boat.
"Is Goerge here?"
"No, George is off today"
I explained my situation and was told to just go ahead and take my boat and not to worry about the fee because I had been through enough!
Status at this point:
Boat - Registered and Legal
Trailer - Registered and Legal
My back is still killing me, but the rigorous process of getting my boat legal is..."wait for it"...COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buffet-esque once again...
