snowmobile booklet, hunting map

 i went to the minnesota DMV- its official name is 'driver and vehicle services'- as it was a day off and i wanted a lien released on my car title. it meant waiting outside for a little while, as they only allowed 5 patrons inside at a time. when i was done with why i was there i decided to look at a display in the corner. it had a booklet about snowmobile regulations, and a map about hunting in the state. i tried not to take too long looking at them as i knew the next person in line would like to go inside. it was the first time i had been to this facility, in inver grove heights, same town i had bought my car in. one page gives a list of ways to be a safe and responsible rider, and one of these was taking a safety training course. there are some ads, including one about visiting the iron range, must be a good place for snowmobiling. another is for an event called 'hay days', held in north branch in september. the map, it is what it says it is. one section is about chronic wasting disease management and surveillance areas. there was an A and W restaurant nearby, but like most food establishments during this pandemic it was drive-up service only. so i went to a walgreen where i could see the photo guy i know and got lunch there. this included the 'burger in a box' as well as a small bag of lay's BBQ chips. also got a tin can of pineapple juice, hadn't seen one in a while. after having lunch at home i decided to re-copy some notes onto another page, and eventually i wanted to get going again on mundane errand running. the snow was just starting to fall at that time. so i went to a place near the capitol and dropped off recycle, then it was to the post office and there was one e-bay order to pick up. these last two things i am aware i could have done on the weekend, but i had the time today so i was fine with doing them early. i was pleased with what got done on this last day off for this calendar year. in the evening i went on a walk and found 5 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when penny lied about graduating from college, and leonard got it out of sheldon when he was drugged. it was followed by when howard returned from space and ended up alone at a diner and got some free food.
