You do NOT want to have to talk to those folks if you don't have to!

So I harassed the dealer over and over and finally they emailed me a pdf of an extended temp tag that we could print out at home.

The title work finally arrived at the courthouse. It's really not a big deal after that because it's a little bitty county.

That entirely falls on the dealer. We had temporary tags on my wifes Corvette and the new plates arrived way before the temp's expired. It sounds like the dealer wasn't doing their job and making excuses.

Yeah, I don't know. It sounded like the paperwork has to go from the dealer to Helena and back to the county. I had to make damn sure they got the right county because our address is one county but we actually live in another county. The nearest PO is in the next county.

All I know is the car dealers are or were sure doing a lot of business in 2020 despite all the pandemic nonsense.

OK, slightly amusing, and any time you want to stop reading because your eyes glazed over, I will understand.

Had to call the dishwasher repairman, through the store I bought the dishwasher from. Washing dishes for a week, by hand, we all thought we were going to die! I went through all the troubleshooting routine, and still ended up with "clogged drain hose". Pulled the thing out from under the counter, cleaned the filters, drained the drain hose that goes to the break at the sink, etc., even tried to pull water out of the drain hose with a shop vac (that was, of course, unsuccessful). Well, the tech gets here, looks it over, takes a part out of the air break, and the thing starts pumping water out! Turns out that it's a common problem for the air break to get clogged. Since I had pulled it all down and water ran out into a drain pan, I didn't figure that that was the problem. The guy was in the house maybe 8 minutes. I wish that whatever was clogging the break hadn't gone down the sink drain. There is a filter, well, more than one, in the bottom of the dishwasher, so I'm confused on how anything could get up there to clog it. Then again, I found unpopped popcorn kernels below the filters. Something is amiss in the filtration system. I'd like to go look at a pump diagram, but I'm betting money that it looks like the insides of an automatic transmission, with looks like magic, anyway. If water wasn't such a precious commodity around here, I would just take the dishes out front and hose 'em off. Then again, maybe I could leave them in the back yard where the dogs can't reach them and let the neighbor's rats chow down. Then take 'em out front and pressure wash them. Plastic bowls blowing down the street, where they belong!
