TEXAS LADY YAY YIPPEE YAHOO!!!

I told you Starbucks was the trick Even the thought of it caused the speed to increase.
Now for your hubby and you will a happy couple.

I called DPS and recieved an immediate apology for the mistake on my card. New card coming
at no charge. Will be here in 7-10 days. Current card is good and the problem notated. She
said that the system must have glitched as it should have recognized a mismatch between the
city and county. A good conversation with the right outcome. I started pleasant and she responded
in kind. Funny how that works!

JB

AWWW Texas Lady-
You saved her first poo-poo! Hope you had fun, and your card will hit before you know it.
I was thinking of saving my targets instead. Hang them on various trees along the driveway
as you approach the house.

RJ-
The blocks were to prevent someone from using the image more than to keep anyone from knowing who I am.
But yes I am left-handed, my picture is ugly, and no I do not go by Joe. So, 2 out of three ain't bad. I did
alter the image of the card however so that it eliminates anyone else from obtaining any further information.
Hard time taken and will be returned someday

JB

As I was posting, I suddenly looked at my card and the fine folks at DPS put the incorrect city
on the card!! Address and zip code are correct. It came to the correct address. They made my
card wrong!! Well, I will call tomorrow and see if I have to put in a change of address and pay
$27.00 or if they will recut one for free. I am still going to use the doggone thing.

JB

I AM NOT A SHEEPLE!!!



I rescued my card from the mailbox after work this evening. 15 Days from receipt of paperwork to in my hand!!!

Texas Lady yours should arrive shortly with a much nicer image on the left side.

JB

Well, I am at work and I know the mail has been deliverd at home. The wife went to work before the
mail came. So, my card might be sitting in the mailbox all alone, afraid, and unprotected.
Maybe I need to leave work early and check to see if this is true or not.

If it is not there, I will leave a Starbuck's coupon in the mailbox as a good luck charm.

JB

Hey Texas Lady-----

Is it there yet? Is it there yet? Is it there yet? Is it there yet?



JB

YOU GO GIRL!!!

In my 137th trip to the mailbox, my plastic is still not here

So, I will camp out under the mailbox and wait with you.

JB

MAILED!!!

Wow- expresso must have been in an IV.

Received on the 5th and shows mailed on the 16th.

Should I go check the mail

JB

Ok- I went from manufacturing pending to manufacturing this moening.
I gouess someone is sitting there using a hammer and chisel to carve my stone tablet.

See Lady- I told you expresso did the trick. The race is on. I live in San Antonio
south of Austin. Who will get their's first? Inquiring minds will want to know.

JB

Well try this on for size:

Mailed on 2 July
Recieved on 5 July
All but background and maufacturing complete on 13 July
Background done and manufacturing pending on 14 July

That is 12 calendar days including the holidays and weekends. Not complaining
but who gave the person doing my application the expresso. Wonder if it was my
2 prior FBI checks this year for other licenses and my government civilian status?
If all go well, maybe plastic next week?

JB

Next phase has passed. All my paperwork has been received.
My background check is now under review. Not bad considering
it hit their door on the 5th of July.

JB

Ok- finally got up the nerve to check. Post office delivered on the morning of
5 July. Webpage shows online application received and waiting on paperwork
to arrive. So, my stuff is in the building and waiting sorting.

On another note, my Hazmat endorsement for my CDL came back today. It
took DPS and the transportation commission in Virginia from the 29th of
June until today to let me know I am approved again. Same fingerprint place
at L-1 Enrollment. Should receive that plastic by the end of the week. Now
that has no paperwork going in. Only the L-1 and the background check by the
FBI. So, the fingerprint checks are going quickly. I bet the CHL license takes
longer because of the regional checks. I live in one county, work in another
county, and moved from a third county less than 5 years ago. Bet they have to
run a check in all three.

Pace, pace, pace, pace, check website, pace, pace, pace

JB

Thanks folks-
I will check in here from time to timeI until I get my plastic. In the meantime I will continue reading
and figiting:)

JB

Mailed my stuff off this morning. Checked my mailbox this afternoon - drats no plastic yet:)
Took my class in Schertz on Wednesday at Lonestar Handgun. Nice folks and made sure we had
all of our paperwork ready before we left for the day. They even do the L-1 fingerprinting on
premises. Just had to schedule 48 hours prior to class on the L-1 website.

So, like Mr. Coffee lets see how they do over the 4th of July.

Oh- retired fire captain from Ohio, paramedic, and currently a combat medic instructor for the Army.
