Hey All, went out to the Carport early this morning to check to make sure that Ms. American's Brake Lights were still working. They were.

At 9:00 a.m., Ms. American pulled into the local Inspection Bay, and the Inspector asked for Proof of Insurance. Gave it to him. He checked it on the Computer. He then went through the whole routine, and finally asked how many miles were on the Odometer. I told him 599. That's what was on the Odometer (but that's the third time around). He printed out a form, signed it, handed it to me and said: “Seven bucks.”!

Gave him $7.00, said “Thank you.”, and drove to the County Courthouse, where for $75.50, a lady named Oralia gave Ms. American her 2022 Registration Sticker.

This was the quickest inspection the Old Gal has ever had, if we don't count all the time spent on getting the Old Gal ready for inspection. BTW, the Brake Lights are REALLY bright.

Whew!
