Not too bad. They got to me within a half hour of my appointment time. Actually got to sit down while waiting. Just a few gripes:

The card they sent me said "You 'may' have to take a written test." No way to find out yes or no. So I studied the handbook just in case. No written test. OK, no biggie there, just wasted time.

No "Appointments Line" sign on the appointments line. Took awhile to figure that one out. Spent 15 minutes on the other line.

Credit cards accepted but not VISA (Why, why, why??). Just so happened to have 48 bucks in green on me.

OK, can't wait til next time. Eight years from now and counting.

Ha ha..

I had to renew my drivers liscence last week. They had to retake my picture for the new one. I was instructed to stand in front of the white screen, (7 paces behind me), do not show any teeth, and do not smile. Look straight ahead. Suddenly.. FLASH! I just revisited Hiroshima
in all its atomic brightness. After the flash went off I wouldn't walk back to the counter for a minute because I couldn't see through the white image in my eyes.. Grin

By the by.. Happy birthday!

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

All I had to do was send a check in the mail. They mailed my DL back to me. Beats the heck out of standing in line.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Unless it's taken away for some reason my driving licence is valid until my 70th birthday. After that I will have to apply to renew it every 3 years.

PS. I just realised that the photo on my licence has to be renewed every 10 years. I wonder how many British drivers know that. http://www.yourdrivinglicence.co.uk/renewing-your-photo-driving-licence-every-10...

I'm into my second "Photograph" Driving Licence renewal now, every three years...

I still use my "70 year-old Photo" on my Licences...makes me look like I'm 16 years old again... Kiss

I just have to confirm to the Agency that I still have a complete set of Marbles each time I renew my Drivers Licence... Wink

Strange -- we don't act that old.

How does one accomplish that -- a rattle of the head?

Mine, too: forgot the wallet in my trouser pocket when it went through the wash (good thing they laminate it*). Embarrassed

New Hampshire requires an in-person renewal appointment every four years so they can take a new, very unprofessional photo of you -- then they mail the license so that it can get lost in the mail while you change addresses during the two weeks it's floating around.

* The license, although trouser lamination would sometimes be useful.
