Oct 11th.........Arrived at TPA (Tampa) at midnight to 82 degree weather (that's about 26 for the Northern folk). Picked up the rental car & it was only 3/4 full of gas. Went back inside & told them and then got authorized to only fill it 3/4 full when I returned it. Ha Once I fired it up the guage went to full.
Oct 12th........woke up to beautiful sunshiny day. Checked out the car and it started right up but the plates had expired a year and a half ago. No problem I'm thinking so I bum a ride to the license bureau (also known here as the tax collector). I'm informed that I can't get plates as the car's still in my mothers name so she tells me what I need and I head off to get car insurance which I need prior to getting plates. I put it in my name and then phone my sister to tell her what I need her to bring down here to get the plates. Like a death certificate and a copy of the will. So that wraps up a non productive day other than swimming for an hour or so and a long bike ride.
