Narrative:
I took off without a clearance from the control tower. While en route wbound on a VFR flight plan I stopped at amarillo for a 10- 15 min fuel stop, something I do about twice a month. Anxious to gas and go I removed the nosewheel chocks and started my engine. I called for taxi clearance and was approved for runway 4, bravo intersection, however, when I attempted to taxi, the aircraft would not move because the main gear had also been chocked by the fueling crew.
