HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 24 VOL 4
NOVEMBER 24TH 2007
WEATHER; CCCOLD, LOW HUMIDITY, 49 DEGREES
32 DAYS TILL OLD SAINT NICK MAKES HIS ROUNDS, ARE YOU READY?
I STAYED IN THE HOUSE TODAY, I DON’T DO COLD TO GOOD ANYMORE! MOM HAD TO GO TO SHANNONS TO TAKE HER SOME OF THE TURKEY & HAM AND OTHER THINGS, SINCE SHANNON FURNISHED THEM MOM SAID SHE SHOULD GET A PORTION OF WHAT’S LEFT, WHICH WASN’T MUCH AFTER ALL US CHOW HOUNDS GOT DONE. KELLY AND MOM WENT TO TOWN EARLIER AND GOT NEW TIRES PUT ON THE FRONT OF HIS PICK UP, HE WANTED TO GET IT ALIGNED BUT HAS TO CHANGE THE IDLER ARM AND PITMAN ARM BEFORE THEY’LL DO IT. MOM WENT ALONG TO DO SOME SHOPPING AND BANKING! THERE ARE PLENTY OF PIES LEFT AND I’M SURE MOM WILL FREEZE THOSE SHE CAN FOR CHRISTMAS.
I’M GOING TO GET THE LIGHTS OUT TOMORROW AND CHECK THEM FOR BURNED OUT BULBS THEN AS SOON AS I CAN I’LL PUT THEM UP AROUND THE DECK AND ON THE RAMP, IT SHOULD MAKE A NICE DISPLAY! THEN COMES THE TREE AND MY TRAIN, I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS PART!
THEY’RE CALLING FOR RAIN MIXED WITH SLEET AND LITE SNOW TOMORROW AND INTO SUNDAY NOW, IF THE GROUND GETS COLD ENOUGH WE COULD HAVE SOME ACCUMULATION, NOT MUCH BUT SOME!
I DON’T KNOW IF I MENTIONED IT BUT WE WATCHED “PINKS ALLOUT” LAST NIGHT, ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF PEGGY’S RACING TEAM WON ALL THE MARBLES, $26,000 WORTH, $18,000 IN CASH AND AN $8,000 TOOL BOX. TO DO THIS HE HAD TO ELIMINATE ALL 8 CONTESTENTS IN THE 8 RACES, ONE OF THEM COULDN’T PULL UP TO THE LINE BECAUSE HIS CAR WOULDN’T START SO KENNY GO A PASS ON THAT ONE BUT THE GUY GOT STARTED AND PULLED UP BUT KENNY TOOK THE RACE. IT WAS THE BEST TWO OUT OF THREE. WHEN THEY GAVE HIM THE TOOL BOX KENNY SAID HE’D PROBABLY HAVE TO USE IT NOW, HE THOUGHT HE BLEW A HEAD GASKET ON THE LAST RUN.
AND PEGGY, WE SAW YOU BEHIND THE BALD HEADED GUY ALMOST BEATING HIM ON THE HEAD, OF COURSE WE COULDN’T MISS PAUL. GOOD SHOW WE REALLY ENJOYED IT! AND WE RECORDED IT IF YOU NEED IT MOM WILL PUT IT ON A DVD AND SEND IT TO YOU!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER WATCHED “PINKS” MAYBE YOU CAN STARTING NEXT SEASON, IT’S ON THE SPEED CHANNEL, THESE GUYS/GALS ARE GOING FOR PINK SLIPS, THE WINNER WINS THE OTHER GUYS/GALS CAR NO MATTER WHAT IT IS AND THERE ARE SOME PRETTY EXPENSIVE CARS LOST, “YOU RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG!”
TIM AND KELLY ARE PUTTING ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN THE INTREPID OVER THE HOLIDAY I SURE HOPE THEY DON’T HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH IT? THEY’VE BOTH DONE IT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE ONLY THIS TIME THEY’RE WORKING ON A NICE SMOOTH CONCRETE FLOOR IN TIMS GARAGE WHEN ALL THE OTHER ONES THEY’VE DONE WERE IN THE GRAVEL IN OUR PARKING AREA NEXT TO THE WELL HOUSE!
I’M SURE MY BROTHER JERRY CAN RELATE TO WORKING IN THE DIRT UNDER THE WALNUT TREE BEHIND THE GARAGE AT THE FOLKS HOUSE ON RIVERTON WHEN HE AND HARVEY MORTON GHANGED THE BODY ON POPS 32 FORD FROM A FOUR DOOR TO A ROADSTER, DO YOU REMEMBER JERRY?
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
