Giving up would certainly be the easy way out—but might be the most expensive.... I had 3 license plates in my red Toyota—and I knew I had 2 dump trailers that I pay excise tax on... so they must be registered-- only one had a plate.... we have multi trailers. By necessity ---janine and I .... use them constantly... 3 horse trailers =. mini, regular and maxi. 2 dump trailers for manure management and hay procuring...and a lawn cutters trailer for aging and ailing great danes transport at dog fest...not reg....
With great care I started a spread sheet to keep all those vin numbers agreeing with the license plates... and within 24 h ours I had 7 license plates in my Toyota and one dump trailer is still plateless---and I have not even got to the little year sticker problem..in the corner... since metal plates on th e dashboard could be lethal in an accident. I put them back on the floor. Which seems to make them multiply.. and I am no further ahead.
There is such a thing as a farm plate—which lets you legally swap plates around as needed... I have in the past, been that road, and it got out of control...
It sound so simple... but not for me... and last time we tried to solve it at the registry , I sat in the car with the dogs for so long that I ran out of gas which ran out of airconditioning and had to call my friend nick—at the Toyota dealership down the road to come give me some gas.
By now the spreadsheet is lost on my computer.. so ? I start again...?
Being my insurance agent has it’s pitfalls.
And that ain’t all.. it took judy 4 hours on the phone to get our Verizon account in our name so they would stop the auto pay from SDP...
This is why it really takes 2 people to run a household—one is usually called “wife” – and that is the one to pick up the dry cleaning and usher in the plumber to fix the upstairs shower.
I need to change banks where my ssa gets deposited and I am terrified to even attempt... for example... the local ssa office 2 blocks from any handicap parking--- and if you do get dropped at the door... it is on the 4th floor down hallway which is ¾ mile long... accessibility is for dunkin donuts, not SSA.
