That reminds me, I need to take a pic or two and post it in the "Daily Carry" thread. Nothing special but hey, might as well right?

Grats on your Beer walk :-P

I went to the mall for my first outing. I remember stopping bye Hot Topic to look at T-shirts and making sure no Teenage Vampires were creeping up on me LOLOL.

Grats Carbon-14!!! Go do ur walk

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT!!!

Bye guys! Nice knowing you! IM OFF TO WALLY WORLD! (or the mall)

You lied. No dice. Not a stitch of mail for me. I guess they only mail them USPS? No fedex or anything?

Seriously though? How long does it take for it to travel from Austin to Houston? 5 days? Bull.

Well, today is another day. Hopefully the mail comes with some good news today! Apart from that, I have a bonafied job interview coming up which will get me making my first salary since graduating college. (In otherwords, im doing everything Obama would rather me NOT be doing! )

GOOD NEWS!!! Went to the mailbox and guess what!? I get to wait ANOTHER day for it to arrive!

It's kinda like winning another chance to play again at some fast food "peel the stamp" game thing.

Anytime I've snail mailed something within the state of Texas it has arrived the next day or the day after that. Gawsh!! Whats taking so long?!

This is awesome, thats what? 4 people this weekend that have had their apps completed!?

We should have a BBQ and go to the range...and...

DO OUR WALLY WALKS TOGETHER!!!!!

What USA1 is talking about:

We met up at Shiloh's shooting range today off of FM 1960. After shooting about 200 rounds between us we called it quits and chatted for a while outside. I told him I had called DPS (for the first time) on Thursday morning and they told me it had gone to printing. I checked thursday evening and friday evening and it was still processing. This morning as we are about to part ways USA1 tells me that I should check my status when I got home. And FFS sure enough it had changed. It's like the man waved his magic cigarette lighter and said some voodoo words and changed it that moment.

I don't know how he did it...that's crazy go nuts!

And yes, Joe817. I think that means it's complete. Just maybe.

USA 1 youre in Tomball? I'm in spring. Wanna go shootin sometime?

So I called DPS for the first time today and asked about the status of my application. I was told that it was being printed and should be out to me shortly.

The website still says "Process Application" however.

How I think the system works is that the status online doesn't change to "Completed" until the ID has been printed and mailed off as that is the final "checkout" phase for the License. I dont think it switches to Completed when the Background check is finished and the license is sent to the printer. But when the whole process is done.

Now. Granted the girl on the phone didn't lie to me....

"I'M GONNA GET MY LICENSE I'M GONNA GET MY LICENSE!"

Almost 150 days...Harris County.

*twiddles Thumbs*

Anyone else feel dumb for thinking that they had a chance of getting their CHL back in June or even July? I remember checking the status online in June and thinking "any day it will change from processing!"

Now its September...and just like that little lap dog you leave at home when you go to work...he sits there by the door thinking "my daddy is going to walk in this door any second now and feed me doggy treats!"

I'm still waiting for my doggy treat needless to say. And for some reason my tail is still wagging.

Just hit 4 months waiting. Still processing.

This is just rediculous. Oh...and I'm in Harris County. So I guess that just screws me even more.

Still processing for me. DPS got it the beginning of July. I have a feeling any day it will switch to Completed and thus my pacing back and forth for the mailman will officially begin.

Looks like some people who mailed theirs in a week or so before me are just now getting theirs. Hopefully mine will be just around the corner! The wait hasn't been all that bad. It's the "trying to find a job right out of college with a crappy Obama economy" that has been really bad. Waiting back from hopefuls sucks. Especially since most of them reply with "not hiring at this time"

Well good new! I got my certified mail receipt back in the mail today! So at least i know they got it haha.
