Today is the big day: food cart inspection by the Health Department. 

So far we’re batting 1000, though we haven’t had the actual inspection yet. Here is our day so far.

Step 1: attach the cart to the van. Check. Step 2: check the brake lights and blinkers. Check. Step 3: drive slowly to the truck stop on Baker Rd. at I-94. Check. Step 4: weigh in. 2,300 pounds! Step 5: slowly drive the rig to Zeeb Road and leave it in the Washtenaw County parking lot, ready for inspection later. Check. Step 6: get into Phillis’ little Toyota and go to Secretary of state for registration and license plate.

Check. Step 7: go to Food Co-op and get supplies for lunch, then head home. Check. Step 8: drive back out to Zeeb Rd for the inspection.

Wish us luck!
