You Can Now Call Me An Idahoian (Is That Right?)

edited August 2003 in General Discussion
Well now I am now an Idaho resident. About 50% of our stuff is moved. Of course the machine shop is another matter, and will take at least a year to move up here.
I had an interesting chat with some Arizonia weight station personal on the way up here with the last load. I went through about 30 miles of Ariz. on I-15. There was a weight station requireing the rential Penske 25' van to go through. When I went through, Imagine my surprise when I was directed into the office. Went in and was told that I would have to buy a "Trip Permit" because the vehicle was a commerical vehicle. I said that the truck was loadad with my family's clothing and furuniture. They said that didn't matter. I took out my cell phone and told the officer behind the desk that my truck that my wife was driving would also need a trip permit, as it was carrying a commerical plates, and loaded with furinutre. And I also had to call the Sheriff of San Diego County and tell him he was wrong about private persons carrying personal property accross state lines now requires a "Trip Permit".
The person behind the counter now told me that the trip permit would be waived on this one occasion, and the matter was dropped.
"Trip Permits"? What a bunch of B.S.

    That was not a cell phone, that was a .357 in your Idaholster.

    Sounds like a troll at the toll booth! Never heard of such. But, guess we shouldn't be surprized about any fee system anymore. Glad it worked out for ya.

    Do have a touch of envy here on your new location. Love my Texas, no doubt, but always had a hankerin' to live in Idaho, Oregon or even Washington. Beautiful country!

    Carrot puller or carrot snapper is a Utah mormon. If you heard the term you must have moved to the SE part.

    I've often wondered which garden vegetable ranked higher. Do people actually fight over that? What do the Mormons from Utah call the Idahoans?

    Ok, YOU DA HO, IAN. Who names there kid "Ian" anymore....?[:o)]





    Yeah, it was bad, but I couldn't resist. We have a gal at work we call 'Spuds' because she was talking about Idaho and we'd say "Who da hoe?" quickly, she wouldn't catch it and kept saying "I DA HO", when we fell down laughing she finally caught on.

    Congrats on the move, hope you like it.





    Got a new gun for my ex-wife.....pretty good trade, huh?

    I'm just outside of Boise. Found a place with a 2400 sq. ft. shop. Not as big as my last shop (2600 sq. ft.) but it will do, and it is heated.
    And you are right it is "carrot snapper".

    Whoa, wait, hold on there fella's. Nevada and Utah have every bit as much to offer as Idaho. It's not crowded, the weather is not nearly as severe, (we got 27 feet of snow last year, on the level), and the natives take to new folk like a carny shill.

    So don't be so quick to come here. Have you seen where the heat this summer has broken all records? I predict that's a trend. Nope, Nevada sounds good, or maybe Montana.

    Clouder.. wishin' he could MOVE.
