Everything is a fight

 I knew the plates on my Toyota would expire at the end of January, so at the beginning of November, I mailed off the paperwork to get Oregon plates for it.  For the longest time, the DMV has been closed to appointments for renewing registrations.  I had to fill out the paperwork, actually take the car to the DMV to have what's known as a VIN inspection done.  That's where someone from the DMV verifies the VIN on your car for you, gives you a form with said information on it, and separates you from $7 of your hard earned money.

You cannot register a vehicle that's not titled in Oregon, in Oregon.  Because my car has a Utah title and the Credit Union still has possession of said title until the loan is paid off, I had to mail my application, my VIN inspection, and a check for a lot more than $7 to the credit union in Utah with a letter explaining that I needed them to send the Utah title, all the paperwork, and the check I enclosed, to the DMV in Oregon so they can, then, send the Oregon title back to the credit union in Utah for them to hold onto until the loan for said Toyota is paid off.

Today, I got a letter from the Oregon DMV that says they cannot process the registration because I sent them a photocopied application for title.  They need an original.

I'm about 100% sure I did not, in fact, mail them a photocopied application for title.  I do not know if the credit union photocopied the application for title and kept the original by mistake so they could account for the title not being in their files anymore, but on Monday, I get to re-mail an application for title.

In the letter, they suggested I had 30 days to do this.  I filled it out today and will mail it on Monday because it won't go anyplace before Monday anyway.  What concerns me is that it took them at least 90 days to open the original mail they received for this and there's no special address to mail the new application for title to.

So on top of mailing the app for title again, I get to call the DMV.  That ought to be fun.  

I swear, everything is a fight.....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
