HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 19 VOL 4
NOVEMBER 19TH 2007
WEATHER; NICE, COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 77 DEGREES
GOT UP AND MADE IT TO 9:30 MASS, HAD TO PICK UP CHARLEEN LATINIS, GARY’S ON THE ROAD AND WON’T BE HOME TILL TUESDAY. WE PICK HER UP ANY TIME GARY CAN’T MAKE IT HOME TO TAKE HER TO CHURCH WHICH WE ARE GLAD TO DO!
WHEN WE GOT HOME I CHANGED CLOTHES AND SAT ON THE DECK CONTEMPLATING CUTTING THE PANEL FOR THE SPACE ABOVE THE GLASS DOOR WHEN MOM CAME UP AND GOT THE IMPACT DRILL MOTOR, WONDER BAR AND HAMMER. WE HAD A 4X4 AND A 2X4 SCREWED TOGETHER AND SHE WAS GOING TO TAKE THEM APART. I HAD TRIED WHEN WE TOOK THE OLD CANOPY FRAME WORK DOWN AND COULDN’T DO IT BUT, I WENT OUT IN THE YARD AND WAS GOING TO HELP WE ENDED UP CUTTING THE 2X4 WHERE THE SCREWS WERE AND BREAKING THEM APART. WELL, I GOT WINDED AND HEADED FOR THE DECK WHEN MY LEFT LEG GAVE OUT AND MY LEFT ARM STARTED JERKING BUT I MADE IT TO THE RAILING ON THE RAMP AND MOM GOT ME A CHAIR SO I COULD SET DOWN. I RESTED FOR A BIT AND MADE IT UP ON THE DECK! I’M BEGINNING TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT I CAN’T DO! SINCE I DON’T HAVE ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS, I FEEL FINE EXCEPT FOR THIS PROBLEM I’LL CHECK WITH THE VA AFTER THE HOLIDAYS!
HOW ABOUT ‘DEM BOYS 9 & 1 THEY GOT ALL THEY WANTED FROM WASHINGTON, THAT WASHINGTON QUATERBACK IS SOMETHING TO BE RECOND WITH! IF IT WASN’T FOR THE FACT THAT T.O. AND ROMO WORK SO WELL TOGETHER THE SCORE COULD HAVE ENDED UP 30 TO 28. OF COURSE JASON GARRETT THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR CALLES THE PLAYS AND ALL T.O. AND ROMO HAVE TO DO IS CARRY THEM OUT WITH THE HELP OF 9 OTHER PLAYERS, IT DOES TAKE A TEAM EFFORT! THE NEXT BIG GAME WILL BE ON THE 29TH WHEN FARVE AND THE PACKERS COME TO TOWN, AT LEAST THEY’RE BOTH 9 & 1 AND IT SHOULD BE A GREAT GAME! FARVE AND ROMO ON THE SAME FIELD, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?
WHEN I WAS LISTING ALL THE THINGS MOM HAS TO GET READY FOR THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS I NEGLECTED TO MENTION SHE HAS TO MAKE A HAM READY FOR BAKING FOR THANKSGIVING!
TIM CALLED TODAY AND SAID WE’RE GOING TO NEED NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS FOR THE INTREPID AND I THINK I’LL GET NEW ROTORS AT THE SAME TIME. HE ALSO SAID SOMEBODY MUST HAVE PUSHED THE CAR WITH A TRUCK THAT HAD A ROUGH FRONT BUMPER BECAUSE THE REAR BUMPER IS TORE UP AND THE FRONT ONE HAS SOME BAD SPOTS SO WE’LL REPLACE BOTH OF THEM. THEY’RE JUST A FIBER GLASS COVER OVER THE METAL BACKING AND ARE ONLY FOR COSMETIC EFFECT!
HEAD FROM BILL MASON THE OTHER DAY, HE’S DOING PRETTY GOOD AND THEY HAVE HIM BACK ON THE BOARD AT THE STUDIOS, HE GOT A CALL THURSDAY TO REPORT TO WARDROBE TO BE FITTED WITH A BUS DRIVERS UNIFORM, HE GOT A PART IN AN UPCOMING “GHOST WHISPERER” SERIES SO EVERYONE BE SURE TO WATCH, I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHICH EPISODE. HE’LL BE THE DRIVER LOADING AND UNLOADING THE LUGGAGE FROM THE LOWER COMPARTMENTS ON THE BUS, THEY LET HIM WEAR HIS HAT WITH ALL THE UNION, VETERANS AND HIGH SCHOOL PINS ON IT WHICH WAS UNUSUAL BUT THE WARDROBE PEOPLE SAID IT WORK OUT FINE, THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING THAT EVEN LOOKED AS REAL!
HE SOLD HIS 1978 GOLDWING TO A FRIEND HE WORKS WITH AND WAS RUNNING IT TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT WHEN THE STARTER SOLONOID HUNG IN AND THE STARTER WOULDN’T DISENGAGE TILL HE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHICH IS THE MASTER SWITCH ON A GOLDWING! NOW HE’S GOT TO SPEND MORE ON IT, I TOLD HIM SOMETIMES YOU CAN RAP THE SOLONOID WITH A SMALL HAMMER OR WRENCH AND THEY COME LOSE BUT HE’S GOING TO BUY A NEW ONE WHICH IS BETER ANYWAY! IF IT’S NOT ONE THING IT’S FIVE!
MORE TRUE SOUTHERNER STUFF;
TRUE SOUTHERNERS GROW UP KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “RIGHT NEAR” AND A FAR PIECE. THEY KNOW THAT “JUST DOWN THE ROAD” CAN BE 1 MILE OR 50.
TRUE SOUTHERNERS BOTH KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REDNECK, A GOOD OL’ BOY AND PO’ WHITE TRASH.
NO TURE SOUTHERNER WOULD EVER ASSUME THAT A CAR WITH A FLASHING TURN SIGNAL IS ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE A TURN.
TRUE SOUTHERNERS KNOW THAT “FIXIN” CAN BE USED AS A NOUN, VERB AND ADVERB.
A TRUE SOUTHERNER KNOWS HOW TO UNDERSTAND SOUTHERN; A BOOGER CAN BE A RESIDENT OF THE NOSE, A DESCRIPTIVE (“THAT OL’ BOOGER”) OR SOMETHING THAT JUMPS OUT AT YOU IN THE DARK AND SCARES YOU I.E. THE “BOOGERMAN”.
TRUE SOUTHERNERS MAKE FRIENDS STANDING IN LINES. WE DON’T DO “QUEUES” WE DO “LINE’S” AND WHEN WE’RE IN LINE WE TALK TO EVERYBODY.
PUT 100 SOUTHERNERS IN A ROOM AND HALF OF THEM WILL DISCOVER THEY’RE RELATED, IF ONLY BY MARRIAGE.
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
HOWARD
