Four to Go

We had a beautiful sunset here in Grand Coulee the other night.

Rush hour takes on a whole new meaning in a small town like Grand Coulee.

Last Thursday, after trips on two successive days to buy licenses for the jet skis, we finally got them out on the water. Why two trips, you might ask. In Washington, the state doesn't send individualized renewal notices for watercraft. Instead, since they all renew in June, they send generic postcards reminding you to go renew your tabs. Since the cards have no identifying information, when you go to renew, you either have to know your boat registration number or remember to write it down so the licensing agent can look it up. Full disclosure: We did neither of those things. Instead, when we got there, the agent looked the jet skis up by our names and address (one is licensed to Chuck and the other to me). Unfortunately, when she looked up Chuck's jet ski, she found our boat. Then, when she asked if it was a 2013, it didn't ring a bell for either of us that she'd found the wrong watercraft. The other clue should have been the total amount, but that didn't serve...
