Well! Time to renew 2 tags on 2 boats. The ol Roamer and a 14 OB Mirro open aluminum. I go on the states DNR website to renew. How simple! Actually how difficult. Had to establish NEW log in shit thats upper and lower case with numbers and all that shit... 3 or 4 times before it grabbed the Captcha shit. Got through that and "combined my purchase" prior to check out LOL. Are you sure you dont want to add anything to your cart? WTF??? So now theres two fees and a convenience charge (?) for $1.86 instead of a goddamn dollar stamp. Gonna start stapling dollar bills on this shit. So that got me thinking that this is just another chapter in the conspiracy thing.
They have my money, and you can betcher panties (Randy!!) that the tags are gonna come in TWO envelopes. That means DOUBLE the chance of losing one or both through the USPS (pretty likely here). So instead of a single ex-convict getting paid to drive his personal state car door to door to collect the money with a gun AND a star that would probably cost each party FIFTY CENTS and keep one jig off the streets, I see as a CONSPIRACY. Pat looks at me and shakes her head. Im nuts, thats a given. This shit goes on and on with every facet of our lives. When is enough enough? Thats a rhetorical question. Maybe not too sure Id like to see a 7 foot tall caucasianally challenged individual at the door with a gun and a star axxing fo' money, but its gotta be cheaper with SOME amount of accountability right? Love you guys! willy

Love you guys! willy Bill, I did the same thing today. I bought a used pickup truck and transferred the plate in December. But the renewal packet for the old truck came in the mail before the transfer (you can probably see where this is going). So, the tabs expire on 2/28 and I can't send in the renewal because its for the old truck and at a different rate than the "new" truck would be to renew. Ok, no problem, I'll just do it online because they will already know that it was transferred and have the proper rate already in there. Well, the website directs me in circles. When I get to the renewal, you can't do that there. Ok, I guess I'll go in to the DMV office then. But wait. Ever since COVID, you have to make an appointment to go in and actually talk to a real person. Ok, you can make that appointment online. But wait again. You have to tell them why you are coming in and its a drop down list and renewing a tab is not one of the options. I can say I need a handicap plate or I need to transfer a title but not renew. Makes sense. Just have the disabled go in to get their plate. Huh? Why can't they do that online? Okay, maybe I can just get the rate and send in a check with this old paperwork. Well, yes, I put in the plate number and get the new rate. No I can't renew but I know how much to pay now. Screw it, I'm sending in what should be the proper payment and see what happens. It will probably get lost in the mail or they'll reject it but I've got a month to find out.

Well Bill, look at it this way; they could send the two reg's in one envelope to save the taxpayers the 50¢ stamp and lose both of them at once.
My new-month's resolution is to get the title of the Corvette transferred. It was only signed over in 2011 and according to the paperwork that signature is valid for 30 days. Should be interesting.

When they see Corvette, then they will figure you're trying to scam them because no Corvette can be worth so little. You must pay MORE........to them, of course. And stamps are now 63 cents
