NWI INGO General Post - Part 22 - Racoon Pets, Sadclowns Kids, and golf carts

[KLB]

Had to get a new plate for my truck today. I stepped out of my truck at 8:30 when they opened the doors. I was finished and back in my truck at 8:38. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Indiana has the best BMV that I have ever encountered or even heard of.

Making so much of the interactions online or by mail helped immensely.

G-D trash panda walking down the street in broad daylight yesterday eve around 6pm. WTF. Was in the garage throwing darts with wife and the dog went into stalk mode then took off. Glad i caught him out of the corner of my eye. Treed the coon in the front yard tree so tested the accuracy of the daisy 45 replica co2 bb tosser... not to shabby for a lil bb pistol. Made him the neighbors problem. Definitely not right though in behavior or movement. Just glad he went up the tree before the dog got on him.

It was not always this way. I can remember very long waits. I also remember them having a "triage" desk where you stopped to make sure you had everything you needed to process your transaction.

I don't know how may times I was told I had everything to proceed and then got to the counter and was told I needed something else and had to make another trip.

Being able to do many transactions online has certainly helped and a lot of reform happened under Mitch Daniels.

For those who track successes in governance across the country, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) story has become iconic. As a case study, it summarizes the Mitch Daniels era in one story.

It is still frustrating at times..

Anytime I have a error on a title or bill of sale I tell them the seller conveniently is in the parking lot. Walk out and come right back in.

Right now cat food is expensive and hard to find.

You need recipes for eating cat?

We have a bunch of feral cats in the woods here.

 

[HoughMade]

Well....there's that.

WTF does donut hole mean?

Otherwise known as the "coverage gap". If you're on medicare and have drug coverage, there is some point in the year where you reach a limit and insurance pays a lot less until you reach your out of pocket amount. My out of pocket is almost $6,000. so it's going to take a good bit of the year before I reach that.

Coon and rabies are a thing. That one needs to be dead.

People who say they don’t like cats just haven’t had them prepared the right way…

I'l tell the wife and kids this.

You’re a chef, don’t just tell them, whip ‘em up a dish and let it speak for itself, haha!

Indeed. That wasn't an option in this case, but all of the other vehicles are handled 100% in the mail or online.

California operates like is 1978 and it is horrendous.

I was thinking the same thing but there's a fair amount of tension among some of the neighbors currently and I don't need the grief of them calling on me. I'm inside city limits so bang bang is no no...

The Indiana BMV has come a long way in 30 years and is run pretty well now. When I moved here from out of state in '91, getting two vehicles registered and retitled was a hassle. I believe they do a much better job now of communicating what is needed from the vehicle owner.

 

[Bill2905]

Well, it's classified.
You can look up info people put out, such as Wikipedia and Jane's Fighting Ships.
They have guestimates.

I'm full of stories, but certain boundaries I will not cross.

If you are permitted to share or care to, what was your occupation in the submarine service?
