WEATHER; WARM, MED. HUMIDITY, 80 DEGREES

HEY! HEY! HEY! IT’S VETERANS DAY, THE CELEBRATIONS WILL BE ON MONDAY, MOM AND I BOTH BEING VETERANS GO TO THE GOLDEN CORRAL IN SHERMAN, TX. FOR DINNER! EVERY VETERANS DAY THEY SERVE A FREE MEAL TO ALL VETERANS! AND IT INCLUDES ALL THINGS ON THEIR BIG MENU, NO EXCEPTIONS! THIS TAKES PLACE AT ALL GOLDEN CORRAL FACILITIES NATION WIDE! SO IF YOU’VE NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREAT TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO SERVED PLEASE DO, BY ATTENDING IT’S THE VETERANS WAY OF THANKING THEM FOR REMEMBERING US! IF YOU’RE A DISCHARGED VETERAN THIS IS FOR YOU THEY MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS!

MOM AND I TOOK ALL THE THINGS TIM NEEDS TO PUT THE INTREPID IN GOOD SHAPE FOR US SO WHEN WE GET IT WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY EXCEPT TO PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE WHICH WE DO ANYHOW! I PASSED UP ONE ITEM ON THE ’91 ACCLAIM THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD CHANGED, THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK AND IT COST US A 6 HR. DELAY ON OUR TRIP TO PHOENIX TO SEE PEGGY RACE AND OVER $600.00 COUNTING THE COST TO TOW US IN! I’M NOT SURE BUT I THINK WE GOT RE-EMBURSED FROM THE ROADSIDE EMERGENCY COMPANY ON THE TOWING! WE’LL CHANGE THE PUMP IN THE INTREPID AFTER WE GET IT HOME!

MOM AND I BOTH SAT IN THE INTREPID AND I STARTED IT, IT HAS BEEN SETTING OVER 3 MONTH AND STARTED AND RAN AS SMOOTH AS THE ’91 AFTER ABOUT 4 REVOLUTIONS WITH THE STARTER. NO SMOKE OR LIFTER CLICKING WHICH I WAS GLAD TO SEE/HEAR! IT’S NOT GREEN LIKE I THOUGHT IT’S A PRETY SHADE OF BLUE, THE INTERIOR IS IMMACULATE AND THE BODY LOOKS IN PERFECT SHAPE NO BROKE OR CHIPPED GLASS AND THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WORK FINE AND NO POWER SEAT WHICH WE DON’T CARE, OUR SEAT JUST HAS TWO DIFFERENT SETTINGS, ALL THE WAY UP OR BACK! WE’RE REALLY GOING TO ENJOY IT!  YOU CAN TELL SOMEBODY REALLY TOOK GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR!

WE’RE BOTH COMING DOWN WITH COLDS SO I’LL CUT THIS SHORT AGAIN AND END WITH A FEW MORE TID BITS AND GET TO BED!

QUAKER OATS FOR FAST PAIN RELIEF, IT’S NOT FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE! MIX 2 CUPS OF QUAKER OATS AND 1 CUP OF WATER IN A BOWEL AND WARM IN THE MICROWAVE FOR 1 MINUTE, COOL SLIGHTLY AND APPLY THE MIXTURE TO YOUR HANDS FOR SOOTHING RELIEF FROM ARTHRITIS PAIN.

WE HAD A VERY GOOD FRIEND WHO USED WD-40 EVERY MORNING BEFORE SHE COULD GET OUT OF BED! SHE WAS A LITTLE OLD BLACK LADY, 98YEARS OLD WHO TOOK  CARE OF HER GARDEN AND HOUSE TILL SHE DIED 3 YEARS AFTER WE MET HER! WE WEREN’T THERE WHEN SHE DIED BUT WERE TOLD THEY FOUND HER IN THE GARDEN HOLDING ON TO THE HOE! SHE PUT WD-40 ON HER KNEES, HANDS, ELBOS, FEET AND ANY WHERE ELSE SHE DEVELOPED A PAIN AND WE NEVER HEARD HER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PAIN AS LONG AS SHE COULD USE THE WD-40! I KNOW, IF YOU CAN STAND THE SMELL IT’S OK BUT IT CAN BE OVER POWERING! I HAD A REAL BAD SPELL WITH ARTHRITIS IN MY RIGHT HAND ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND RUBBED SOME IN AND IT WORKED! SO TAKE THIS FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
