HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 29 VOL 4
NOVEMBER 29TH 2007
WEATHER; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 60 DEGREES
26 MORE SHOPPING DAYS TILL JOLLY OLD SAINT NICK FALLS DOWN YOUR CHIMNEY AND WAKES UP ALL THE KIDS.
IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY FOR THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL CAR WASH AND REALLY GAVE THE TROUBLESOME ACCESSORY BELT A GOOD WASHING WITH DEGREASER AND HOT SOAP AND WATER. NO OIL LEFT ON THAT SUCKER BUT, IT WILL BE COATED AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS BECAUSE OF THE OIL PUMP SEAL WE NEED TO REPLACE SO I’M GOING TO HAVE TO SET UP A ROUTINE AND DO IT EVERY WEEK TILL WE GET THE SEAL CHANGED OR WE GET THE INTREPID READY TO GO.
THE MESSAGE IS COMING THRU LOUD AND CLEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW, WE WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE THEM PUT THEIR ANALYZER ON THE SYSTEM BUT THEY DON’T HAVE THE ONE FOR OUR CAR, THEY ONLY GO FROM 96 UP NOW. SO, WE LEFT THERE AND WENT TO HOME DEPOT AND BOUGHT A NEW ELECTRIC STAPLER/NAIL GUN. AS ALWAYS, I LIKE TO LOOK AT THE CHRISTMAS THINGS, WELL WE PICK UP A NEW LIGHT SYSTEM CALLED NET LIGHTS, IT’S A 4’X6’ NET WITH LIGHTS AT ALL THE CROSSES WE GOT 4 AND WE’RE GOING TO HANG THEM ON THE RAILINGS ON THE RAMP, THEN MOM FOUND SOME BUBBLE LIGHTS AND THEY’LL GO AROUND THE DECK COVER. WHEN WE LEFT HOME DEPOT IT TOOK ABOUT 100 REVOLUTIONS TO GET THE ENGINE STARTED, IT USUALLY STARTS ON THE 3RD OR 4TH REVOLUTION, NOW, IT SETS UP TO 2100 RPM AND TAKES ABOUT 1 MINUTE TO COME DOWN WHERE YOU CAN PUT IT IN GEAR. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON BUT I KNOW WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND OUT AND FIX IT OR MOVE OUR TIME SCHEDULE AHEAD AND GET THE INTREPID RUNNING! OTHER THAN MINOR THINGS THIS IS THE MOST TROUBLE WE’VE HAD WITH THIS CAR IN A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES! I HAD KELLY PULL THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE LOSE AND LAY IT OFF TO THE SIDE NOW, WE’LL SEE IF THE COMPUTERS NEEDED TO BE RE-SET! I KNOW IF I HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY P/C I JUST DISCONNECT IT AND HOOK IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING IS OK, I’LL KNOW IN THE MORNING!
WE WATCHED THE REPUBLICAN DEBATE TONIGHT, IT WAS REAL INTERESTING, I BELIEVE IN LOOKING AT THE COMPETITION TO SEE WHAT THEIR DOING. ONE THING I DID NOTICE WAS THEY MENTIONED PRESIDENT BUSH TWICE BUT HILLARY WAS MENTIONED AT LEAST TEN TIMES. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY’RE RUNNING SCARED AND I DIDN’T GET THE IMPRESSION THAT ANY ONE OF THEM WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING HER IN A BATTLE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. I THINK THE ONE WITH THE BEST CREDENTIALS TO TAKE HILLARY ON IF SHE GETS THE NOMINATION IS SENATOR JOHN McCain. OF THE EIGHT THAT WERE ON THE STAGE HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN’T THROUGH ANY MUD, HE GOT A LITTLE HOT ABOUT THE TORTURE THING BUT HE’S BEEN THERE, HE WAS A GUEST AT THE HANOI HILTON FOR 5 YEARS AND KNOWS ABOUT TORTURE. HE MENTIONED THE GENEVA CONVENTION BUT, THE TERRORISTS DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, HIS CONTENTION IF I READ HIM RIGHT IS THAT WE SHOULD GO BY THE CONVENTION EVEN THOUGH THE TERRORISTS DON’T. I HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THAT. I REMEMBER THE JAPANESE NEVER SIGNED THE CONVENTION AND CONSEQUENTLY COMMITTED HORRIBLE ATROCITIES AGAINST OUR GIs, BATTAN DEATH MARCH, IWO JIMA, TARAWA, GUADALCANAL AND OTHER PLACES. OF COURSE THERE WERE ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY SOME OF OUR MEN ALSO BUT NOT ON AN OFFICIAL BASES, THEY WERE COMMITTED BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD SEEN THING THAT THEY COULDN’T HANDLE AND WENT OFF THE DEEP END! THE JAPANESE OFFICERS TOOK AN ACTIVE PART IN BE-HEADING AND STARVING THE PRISONERS ALONG WITH OTHER INHUMANE THINGS! I’M SURE MY BROTHER JERRY COULD TELL OF SOME THINGS HE SAW ON MUNDA OR BOGAINVILLE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC WHERE HE WAS IN 1943-44! I’M NOT TRYING TO START ANY ARGUMENTS I’M JUST REPORTING WHAT I SAW AND WHAT EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON SOME PEOPLES THINKING! I REMEMBER WHAT MY WIFE SAID, NO POLITICAL OR RELIGEOUS ARGUMENTS SO LIKE I SAID IT’S FYI!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
