Scheduled for the 17th and 18th of this month then I’ll be legal.
Oh and also yes craigslist is where I found this 250. There are so many cheap bikes up here idk if it’s just because we’re by one of the biggest cities or if it’s just getting that time of the year and people are practically giving there bikes away for a little bit of cash but finding a ugly lil cheap 250 shouldn’t be to hard.

Glad to hear you have that scheduled. That is a great deal. Normally it's over $200.
Another safety-related suggestion - check the age of the tires on your bike. The production date is 4 numbers in an oval on the sidewall like "2610". The first 2 are the week (26th week), the last 2 are the last digits of the year (2010). They could even be original if it's got super low miles, but they aren't usable anymore. 5 years is plenty on a cycle tire (IMO).

Pretty funny about the Mount Prospect connection.
Thank your wife for her service - I appreciate it. My youngest boy just enlisted in the Marines and is heading to Basic in a few months.
