This one won't really fit, but I sure wish it would...

I come out of my stop, around lunch time, and 3 guys are huddled around my Empulse, holding forth on electric bikes. Two are in their 30's and one kid around 20 or so. I hear one guy say, "Yeah, I saw one at a drag race and it was really fast!"

I walk up, gray hair, bald head, ATGATT, and join in the conversation: "Yep. 60 mph in just 1 second... that's what the Kill-A-Watt will do."

They turn, accepting my input with the ease of workmen not in a hurry to return to drywall, and I hear the word, "Bad-ass." Thinking they're talking about the total sweetness of my ride, I say, "Yeah, they sure did a great job designing it!"

"No. YOU, dude! You're one bad-ass codger!"

So, maybe "BAC" on my plate and only the readers here will know the meaning.

BAC- first thought I'd always "blood alcohol content."

I've really been enjoying your posts lately!

Or perhaps a really big fan of Bank of America stock . . . .

Finally got a plate.  This was about my fourth choice.  I wanted CHRGME, CHRGIT, and something else I don't remember.  In Oregon there is now web access to see what's available.  After waiting in line for an hour I was going to get something!

As you can see it's the rainy season now.  The lack of rear fender causes the brake light to become covered pretty quickly.  Seems like a liability issue to me.

Bad ASS!  Congrats!

Hahahaha yep and in theory if you were to do a theoretical huge burnout, you'd probably find that in theory your brake light and license plate would be absolutely covered in little bits of charred theoretical rubber.

I finally got my plate today.

I'm bummed that my first spellings were taken and that probably nobody except a few Latinos will get this one:

Shinysideup, that's a good one.  Next time I'll go to the DMV with a prioritized list with a couple dozen names.

Actually, in California, you can check for names on their website and do the whole application thing right there, including the payment.

The process starts here:
