Inspection Days' End
I drove around for a little while today and finally found an auto inspection station that was open. To my surprise, it seems many mechanics are closed for the weekend here in Pittsburgh.
The Meineke at Liberty & 31st took my car, and an employee lambasted me for affixing my temporary registration to my window while Texas plates were still on the car (but, that's what AAA told me to do, I think) and told me to come back in 2-3 hours. I took the 86A bus back home, dawdled for an hour or two, got their phone call, and took the 86B back down to Meineke. The car now has Pennsylvania plates and looks absolutely nothing like it did with Texas plates! Er, well, that's not really true. But, it no longer has a front license plate — how d'ya like them apples?
I joined Angie's List today, at the exhortation of Katy, to check out moving companies. It looks like the James Moving Company (est. 1950) will be moving me some time next week. They received high marks from Angie's List and the Better Business Bureau, so I'll call Monday and set up a date and time. If it weren't so warm and humid here, the move would be much more exciting than its current state of interminable dullness. I've started packing what little I have to pack, but as with everything else this summer, I'm just not very motivated to do it.
In other news, kitties are happy and clawing a sisal post, and it's coming up on the early evening, the hottest time of the day. So, I'm going to sit around and do nothing for a while.
