[Any other place?]

You might want to check out the DMV in Clinton (Charles Seviers Blvd). I went there last year to renew my CDL. Try to go when school is in session so there is not a bunch of teenagers getting permits.

Maybe easier, but much more expensive to get pallets delivered to residential address, and this stuff can't sit out in the elements, even with tarps.

 

Would it have been easier / cheaper to rent a 28ft trailer for a few days/weeks? The delivering driver could have just back up to it. He could use his pallet jack to put it on the rented trailer!

[Where to go for _____?]

they are busy at Straw Plains but I don't think you need to wait two weeks in line.   ;)

 

There is an office in Clinton as well. I believe they do HCP. I live in Powell but renewed my CDL in clinton rather than go to Strawplains. I don't know if Clinton is any closer than Strawplains.

[Wow, Yotes Really Are Everywhere]

Walking to Y today, big ol coyote not 15 yards off Sutherland Ave (significant 3 mile artery in Knoxville). It was where the 3 Mile Creek Greenway intersects. Fairly large area but well pent in by town and residential/commercial areas. Hell, it's only half a mile from Sutherland boundary to the Kingston Pike one (truly major artery, is also US Hwy 11). Close enough to me I might could have dropped him with my 3" Kahr, no kidding. Well, somebody who can shoot could have anyway. :)

 

Can't image how he could get here really, only way seems to be maybe by following rail road tracks in from the west somewhere. But I've also seen a couple of deer in this area before too and wondered how they got here either, figgered maybe they had swum across the river from somewhere and come through Sequoyah Hills maybe.

 

Nice looking critter really, good coat and not gaunt at all, full adult obviously, had to weigh 40 lbs or better. Probably some little yapper dogs and/or cats missing from the residential area near West High I'd wager.

 

He and I did an eye to eye, and he didn't even slink off till I walked toward him and closed the distance to maybe 10 yards. I walked around to another angle and could see him standing watching me from now about 40 yards away back in a cleared swatch on edge of trees as I left and walked on down the road.

Coyotes have been in the area for years now. I remember seeing one several years ago ( the Papermill interchange was still being redone). I was going to work early one morning (06:00). I was sitting at the light Northshore & Papermill when saw it. We also have them out in Powell. I see them crossing Clinton Hwy frequently.
