HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 7 VOL5
DECEMBER 7TH 2007
WEATHER; COOL, WINDY, MED HUMIDITY, 54 DEGREES
YOU’VE ONLY GOT 18 MORE DAYS TO EITHER MAKE THAT LOAN OR START HITTING THE DOLLAR STORES.
66 YEARS AGO TODAY! “A DAY WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFAMY” THE JAPANESE ATTACKED PEARL HARBOR IN THE HAWAIAN ISLANDS WHICH FORCED THE U.S. INTO WWII. A SONG WAS WRITTEN WITHIN DAYS OF THE ATTACK; “LETS’ REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR”. I’VE GOT THE RECORD SOMEWHERE! IN AUGUST OF 1945 THE WAR ENDED WITH THE UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF THE JAPANESE TO ALLIED FORCES! SINCE THEN THE JAPANESE HAVE BEEN A STAUNCH ALLIE OF AMERICA!
I GOT OUT THE PRESSURE TESTER AND CHECKED THE COOLING SYSTEM ON THE ACCLAIM, IT TOOK ME QUITE A WHILE TO FIND THE REASON IT WOULDN’T HOLD PRESSURE, I’D PUMP IT UP TO 16+ LBS AND IT BLED OFF FASTER THAN I COULD REPUMP IT. I HAD TO HAVE PRESSURE TO FIND THE LEAK OR SEE WHERE THE ANTI FREEZE WAS LEAKING FROM! I LOOKED ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM THINKING A LOWER HOSE WAS LOSE OR THE FITTING FOR THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES WAS LEAKING THEN WHILE LAYING UNDER THE CAR I SAW A DROP OF ANTI FREEZE HIT THE GROUND. I GOT UP AND WENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE RADIATOR AND THERE IT WAS, A VERY SMALL LEAK, ANTI FREEZE RUNNING DOWN A CREASE IN THE PLASTIC SIDE TANK! I HAVE TRIED BEFORE TO FIX THESE CHEAP PLASTIC TANKS ON OTHER RADIATORS AND ENDED UP BUYING A NEW RADIATOR SO, OFF TO AUTO ZONE WE GO AND PICK UP A NEW RADIATOR. WE REALLY DON’T MIND, THE ONE ON THE CAR HAS 300,000+ MILES ON IT AND IS 17 YEARS OLD! OF COURSE THERE’S A TAG ON THE BOX THE READS “MADE IN CHINA” BUT WHAT’S A BODY TO DO? IF YOU ASK THE STORE PEOPLE IF THEY HAVE ONE MADE IN THE GOOD OLD U.S.OF A THEY JUST LOOK AT YOU AND SMILE SHAKING THEIR HEAD NO!
I HAD TO CUT A PIECE OF PANELING TO GET TO SOME WIRING OVER THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR AND FOUND OUT WHY IT WAS BLOWING A CIRCUIT BREAKER, A GROUND WIRE GOT IN CONTACT WITH A HOT WIRE! I’LL FIGURE OUT WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THE WALL SWITCH CONTROLL THE DECK LIGHT. I’VE GOT 9 WIRES TO USE AND I THINK I KNOW WHAT TO DO! IF I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS I’LL CALL MIKE, HE’S THE ONE WHO PUT THIS SYSTEM IN! WE
WE’RE MAKING PROGRESS WITH THE INSIDE DECORATIONS, THEY’RE GOING TO LOOK REAL NICE, WE’VE EVEN FOUND SOME THINGS WE FORGOT WE HAD THAT WE CAN ADD TO THE MIX.
MOM IS GOING TO GET BUSY WITH HER BAKING IF I’LL LEAVE HER ALONE I HAVE TO CALL ON HAR TO DO SOME THINGS I NEED THE FEELING IN MY HANDS TO DO! I TRY TILL IT I JUST CAN’T DO IT. I FOUND OUR MAHONEY COAT OF ARMS PAINTING THAT LOU POLARO DID FOR US BACK IN 1973 AND PUT IT UP ON THE SIMULATED CHIMINEY THAT’S OVER THE MANTAL PIECE AND HEATER!
SHANNON WAS PRETTY SICK THIS MORNING SO MOM HAD TO GO PICK UP HER DAUGHTER KYLIE AND TAKE HER TO WATCH KONNER THEN GO AND DO MORE SHOPPING. BOY, ARE WE GOING TO ENJOY THE FARE (EATS) OVER THE CHRISTMAS/NEW YEARS HOLIDAY!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS WHEREVER THEY’RE SERVING AND BESURE TO KEEP THEM AND THEIR FAMLIES IN YOUR PRAYERS AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY PRAYERS JUST THING ABOUT THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING THESES HOLIDAYS!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
