Apparently, that horse stopped for water along the way and now after the mail has arrived on Tuesday, still no plastic. I'll be looking out the window all day tomorrow until the mail gets here.

My situation was the same as yours, Houston destination and it took 5 days which was verified by the postage machine date and the post office date on the envelope. Go figure.

Kind ladies and gentlemen, my wait is officially over. My plastic has arrived!

I feel a Wally Walk coming!

Congrats!
Give it a week and you will be saying, the wait wasn't really that bad, could have been worse LOL
Enjoy the Wally Walk.
Just remember 1 .. ok 2 things
1 - cover it
2 - forget it (no one else will see it anyway)
(Thanks TAM - as that i would hope is basically copyrighted anyway LOL)

Thanks, Teamless. Considering the wait others had to put up with in the 120 to 150 day range not so long ago, squeaking in under 60 days is nothing.

Cover it, forget it. Got it.

My wait is over. DPS said "mailed" on 6/11 but the postmark said 6/14. Plastic was the only thing in the mailbox today. I went for a "walk" at Kroger and was nervous about printing the whole time. It's gonna take a while to get used to forgetting it I think. Later, waiting room.

If you wear it every day for a week, in a week you will say "what was I worried about"
As long as you make sure you are wearing shirts that are just a bit bigger than needed, even if you are using a Supertuck or similar, no one will have a clue.

I am to the point now, where I am wearing slightly larger Under Armor T-Shirts over my PT111 / Minituck and not being able to see a thing. These shirts are VERY light weight and it really amazed me when I put it on and couldn't see it myself, and I KNEW it was there. Others who don't have a clue, will notice noting.
Once in a great while, I catch myself pulling my shirt back down (or checking it), but it has gotten much much easier.

Hopefully today will be my day as well. Unfortunately my mail doesn't arrive until about 5PM.

Time to go check once an hour. ;)

Congratulations to all the new graduates. I hope your Wally Walk is as uneventful as it should be.

Grungir79, keep the faith, surely yours will be there today.

I'm sure you're right, Teamless. Just like a new watch or glasses, I'll get used to it. Thanks for the encouragement.

Faith kept, plastic in hand. Of course it didn't arrive in time for me to carry to the A-Team (wife wanted to see it, and she wanted to watch the 4:25 showing, which is right when the mail is delivered), so I was distracted through the whole movie wondering "Is it there? If it is, I wish I could have carried to the movie..."

Thanks for the support all, time to update my sig.

Actually I noticed Face's chick was using a Storm Subcompact. Loved the 1911's in it too.

Congrats, Grungir!

Packet Received 5/13/10
Background completed 6/17/10
Plastic received 6/00/10

I finally went to Manufacturing Pending last night.
I hand delivered my app to DPS on 4/22. The wait was brutal with everyone else getting plastic.
Hopefully next week I'll have plastic too!
