i must have got my wires crossed somehow

my dad loves nonpareils. he would buy them by the bag when hannaford used to stock them in their self-serv candy chute things. you'd scoop them into your bag and then pay by weight at the register. if it wasn't that, it was a couple boxes of snocaps.

i have no idea why i held such confident beliefs that needhams and nonpareils are the same thing. but that's on brand for me.

It's much more enjoyable than the mushroom pics, imo.

We're pretty seasonal round here. We have mushroom season, tick season, it so cold season, it's too hot season, hey I'm traveling to Maine can you help me plan my vacation season, and on and on and on

The did anyone see those weird lights in the sky, and why are there jets flying in Portland, and license plate ones are year round events. Although I suppose the vacation one could be included here too.

Here's a copy of the rules. If you have it on your phone it's searchable by text, so if someone says you need "Ball joints" and you wonder, what's a ball joint, you can search the pdf right there in the store and see if they're legit or not.

Some common misconceptions:

Not all oil leaks fail inspection. They only do if if it leaks “petroleum” fluid in an amount or in such a location as to constitute a fire hazard.

Not all rust holes fail inspection. They only do if the hole could allow exhaust fumes into the passenger compartment, or if a fender doesn't "fender" properly. You can have a hole in a pickup truck bed.

The contact info for the state police is on the cover of the book. Get, in writing, the list of stuff you fail for and feel free to give them a ring if you feel like something's up.
