HOWARD'S DAILY CHRONICLE #4

HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE

NUMBER4 VOL1

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 4^TH, 2007

WEATHER; PARTLY CLOUDY, GOT A LITTLE RAIN LAST NIGHT, LOW HUMIDITY, 80 DEGREES

 

NOT MUCH GOING ON TODAY. MOM AND I TOOK THE CAR OVER TO SEARS TO HAVE THE FRONT END CHECKED BECAUSE IT WANDERED. THEY RESET THE TOE-IN AND FOUND TIRE PRESSURE LOW AND BROUGHT IT UP TO WHAT I RUN, 35 PSI ALL AROUND.

WE WERE HEADED FOR HOME-DEPOT WHEN KELLY’S FRIEND, GLENDA CALLED AND ASKED IF MOM WOULD RIDE WITH HER AS SHE TOOK SHANNON’S DAUGHTER KAITLIN TO DFW AIRPORT IN FT. WORTH? MOM SAID YES SO WE HEADED BACK TO SHANNON’S. I WENT HOME FROM THERE SO I COULD BE AVAILABLE IF THEY DIDN’T GET BACK IN TIME TO PICK UP HALEY-JO, GLENDAS GRAND DAUGHTER,   AT PRE-SCHOOL WHICH I DID.

I PIDDLED AROUND AND CHECKED THE OIL, RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION, P/S, AND FILLED THE WINDSHIEL WASHER BOTTLE. WE USE MORE WASHER FLUID THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THE OLD ENGINE USES A QT. OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 TO1500 MILES, TRANMISSION NEVER NEEDS ANY THING, RADIATOR GETS ABOUT A PINT EVERY MONTH. THIS OLD CAR HAS JUST A FEW HUNDRED MILES OVER 300,000 ON IT, ORIGINAL  ENGINE,   I CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE WHEN I GOT THE CAR FROM TIM IT WOULDN’T SHIFT INTO OVER DRIVE. AFTER I HAD PUT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN I FOUND OUT I COULD HAVE CHANGED THE COMPUTER ON THE SIDE OF IT BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT CONTROLS THE SHIFTING, THAT WOULD HAVE COST ABOUT $50.00 FOR A REBUILT ONE INSTEAD OF $350.00  HELL, I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A COMPUTER ANY WHERE BUT BEHIND THE BATTERY AND IT CONTROLES THE RUNNING THE CAR! OH WELL, LIVE AND LEARN!

I’M GOING TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE TO GET THIS CHRONICLE TO ALL OF YOU! TIM IS SETTING UP A BLOG JUST FOR THE CHRONICLE, AS SOON AS HE SENDS ME THE BLOG ADDRESS I’LL GET IT TO YOU THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT IN THE ADDRESS PULL IT UP AND READ IT. IF YOU CAN’T PULL UP A BLOG JUST LET ME KNOW AND I’LL STILL E-MAIL IT TO YOU.

OK, I GUESS THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE. GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
