HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE

NUMBER 22 VOL 3

OCTOBER 22^ND 2007

WEATHER; COLD, RAIN, HI HUMIDITY, 63 DEGREES, PLAIN OLD MISERABLE!

NOT A VERY GOOD NEWS WISE DAY, COULDN’T EVEN GO OUT AND SET ON THE DECK BUT, IT’S SUPPOSED TO CLEAR UP TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND BE WARMER, YEAH! AND THE WEATHERMAN BELIEVES IN THE EASTER BUNNY AND SANTA CLAUSE IF HE EXPECTS US TO BELIEVE IN HIS WEATHER GUESS!

WE’RE HOPING FOR GOOD WEATHER ON SATURDAY, TIM’S COMING UP TO BUILD THE COVER OVER THE DECK. NOW, IF THE WEATHER DOESN’T CLEAR UP AND GET WARMER MOM AND I WON’T BE ABLE TO PAINT THE 20 FEET OF ANGLE IRON THAT HE’LL USE TO SUPPORT THE ROOF OF  THE DECK.

I HAD TO CALL THE VA TODAY AND GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DERMOTOLOGIST, THE PLACE HE TOOK THE BIOPSEY FROM WON’T HEAL. I GO BACK WEDNESDAY AT 9AM TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE!

I’M STILL WAITING FOR THE RESULTS ON THE ULTRASOUND THEY DID ON MY AORTA. I ASKED THE NURSE HOW COME IT’S TAKING SO LONG FOR THE RESULTS ON SOME OF MY TEST AND SHE TOLD ME IT’S BECAUSE OF SO MANY IRAQ VETERANS COMING BACK AND OVERLOADING THE SYSTEM! OK AND I WILL NOT COMPLAIN ONE BIT, THEY’VE GOT TO COME FIRST AND I’LL GIVE MY SPACE TO ANY ONE OF THEM GLADLY!

I NEVER HAVE HEARD FROM THE CEMETERY ABOUT THE PLACK THEFT SO I’M WRITING THE DIRECTOR OF CATHOLIC CEMETERIES TOMORROW! I’M NOT LETTING THIS DROP, SOMEBODY’S GOING TO OWN UP TO IT OR I’LL GO TO THE NATIONAL CHAPLIN IN WASHINGTON FOR ACTION!

I GOT A PRICE ON A TRANMISSION FOR THE 95’ INTREPID WE BOUGHT FROM TIM OUT OF A RUNNING CAR FROM OUR LOCAL WRECKING YARD, $250. EXCHANGE WHICH I THINK IS A GOOD PRICE. WE GOT THE ONE IN THE 91’ PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM FOR THE SAME PRICE AND WE’VE PUT OVER 40,000 MILES ON IT WITH NO PROBLEMS, DOESN’T LEAK A DROP OR SLIP AND WHEN I NEED IT, IT DOWN SHIFTS PERFECTLY.

TIM’S GOING TO PUT ALL NEW VALVE COVER AND PAN GASKETS IN AND SEALS WHERE EVER THEY’RE NEEDED. THE CAR HAS BEEN SETTING A YEAR IN HIS GARAGE AND HAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING LEAKING, I HAD HIM TAKE A SAMPLE OF THE RESEDUE IN THE TAIL PIPE AND HE SAID IT WAS DRY, JUST CARBON ON HIS FINGER!

THE 91’ ACCLAIM HAD 251,000 ON IT WHEN WE GOT IT AND WE’VE PUT OVER 40,000 ON IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE RUNNING GEAR. NEW TIR RODS, INNER AND OUTER, A MOTOR MOUNT, SHOCKS AND STRUTS AND TIRES, FRONT BRAKE PADS. PLUGS AND WIRES, A USED COMPUTER AND COIL, NEW BELTS AND HOSES BEFORE WE WENT ON OUR 6025 MILE JAUNT LAST YEAR. WE STILL GET OVER 20MPG IN TOWN W/A/C, 24-28 ON THE ROAD W/O A/C. NOT BAD FOR A 17 YEAR OLD CAR WITH A LITTLE OVER 300,000 MILES ON IT? I’M AFRAID WHEN WE DECIDE TO SELL IT, WHOEVER BUYS IT WON’T TAKE THE KIND OF CARE WE DID AND CONSEQUENTLY IT’LL LET THEM DOWN!

OH WELL, SUCH IS LIFE!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE

REMEMBER WHAT CONFUCIUS SAY; MAN WHO TALK TRASH END UP IN SAME HEAP AS THE ONE HE TALK ABOUT!

I’M GOING TO START REMINISCING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS MY BROTHER AND SISTERS AND I DID WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER AS SOON AS I CAN PUT THEM TOGETHER. I HOPE MY BROTHER JERRY WILL HELP IF I ASK HIM? HOW ABOUT IT JERRY?
