Yes, but I'm tough. Now, just need a long enough extension cord for my electric blanket.

And the foot warmers.

And the hot cocoa machine...
Just don't add the peppermint schnapps or rum to that hot chocolate; otherwise you'll have to wait until after Thanksgiving to do your WallyWalk!

Not sure I would want to WallyWalk on Black Friday though...... :eek6

So, I learned was that I should expect a delay because of information that I reported and I probably did not need to do so. I reported it anyway, thinking I was being a nice guy.
I guess I did the same - reported info thinking I was being a "good little girl". Should have just left it at what is on my driver's license and been done with it. I was concerned about them finding out that I use a slightly different name in my everyday, workaday world and would shut me down for being "dishonest" in not revealing other names I use. :roll: Truth be told though, I was hoping the workaday world name would help with the vetting process since the FBI and DHS turn me inside out and upside down every now and again......

I would think with you being retired military, it would be much the same. Live and learn.

:woohoo The plastic came in today's mail!! :woohoo

Not too bad I guess, 65 days from mailing to license in hand. I originally wasn't expecting to be done until the end of the year at least, guess things are getting better at DPS.

Have to start thinking about a Wally Walk soon, Black Friday is probably out since I'll be working but should be able to manage it sometime over the weekend.

Hope everyone else here gets their plastic soon as well.

Super congrats redrockx! :clapping: :woohoo That wasn't a long wait at all! :thumbs2: I received my plastic 2or 3 days after it changed to completed, mailed or active, but that was in the first half of Oct. I'd say Monday or Tuesday. ;-)

The mail brought mine in today as well... I didn’t do a traditional "wally walk" but I did an academy, target, and restaurant walk. I couldn’t resist academy's 3.99$ a box .223 sale.
