HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE

NUMBER 14 VOL 7

FEBRUARY 14^TH 2008

WEATHER; NICE, LOW HUMIDITY, 34/75 DEGREES

GAS STILL UNSTABLE BUT I’M SURE THEY’LL GET IT BACK UP WHERE THEY WANT IT SOON!

WE FINALLY GOT THE CEILING FAN UP AND WIRED IN AND IT’S A NICE LOOKING INSTULATION EVEN IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF! I TEST RAN IT FOR ABOUT A ½ HOUR AND THERE’S NO WOBBLE OR VIBRATION!

NEXT AS SOON AS THIS BAD WEATHER GETS PASSED US I’LL FINISH PUTTING THE ELECTRICAL BOXES UP AND RUNNING THE WIRE! OF COURSE I’LL NEED MOM’S HELP RUNNING THE WIRE! MY HANDS JUST DON’T DO GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO PUSHING AND PULLING WIRE THROUGH THE HOLES I DRILL IN THE 2X4s! THESE ARE THINGS MOM AND I CAN DO LIKE SHE SAID TODAY WHEN WE GOT THE FAN DONE, “WE MAKE A GOOD “ONE”, HER HANDS WITH MY HELP!

SHE’S COME DOWN WITH A COLD AND IS DOCTORING UP REAL GOOD, SHE SHOULD BE BETTER TOMORROW! I’M SURPRISED I DON’T COME DOWN WITH THESE THINGS IT COULD BE THE COMBINATION OF MEDICATIONS I TAKE EACH DAY PROTECTS ME AGAINST COLDS AND VIRUSES! THE NEXT TIME I’M AT THE VA I’M GOING TO ASK MY DOCTOR IF THAT COULD BE IT?

I DID A LITTLE MORE READING ON THE “CHECK ENGINE LIGHT” IN THE 91 ACCLAIM! IT SAYS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE “CLOCK SPRING” UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL! IN ORDER TO WORK ON IT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO LIFT THE “NEGATIVE” BATTERY CABLE AND LEAVE IT OFF FOR TWO MINUTES, THIS DISARMS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM! TODAY I REPLACED BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLE ENDS! THIS MEANT I HAD THE NEGATIVE OFF  FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES! THE REASON THEY SPECIFY THE NEGATIVE CABLE IS THE NEW ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS “CONTROL THE GROUND” NOT THE HOT (POSITIVE) LIKE THEY USED TO! I HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO DRIVE IT YET BUT I MAY TOMORROW  IF THE WEATHER IS OK WE’RE SUPPOSED TO GET WINTERY MIX WITH BAD WINDS AND THUNDER/LIGHTENING TONIGHT AND TOMORROW!

THIS KID’S SETTING ON THE CURB STIRRING SOMETHING IN A COFFEE CAN WITH A STICK. A PREACHER COMES UP TO HIM AND ASK WHAT HE’S GOT IN THE CAN “DOG POOP” ANSWERS THE KID AND GOES ON STIRRING, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT ASK THE PREACHER? “GONNA MAKE A PREACHER” ANSWERS THE KID. THE PREACHER STORMS AWAY AND SEES THE MAILMAN COMING DOWN THE STREET SO HE GOES UP TO HIM AND TELLS HIM WHAT THE KID SAID. THE MAILMAN DECIDES NOT TO QUESTION THE KID BUT INSTEAD SEES PAT MURPHY THE LOCAL PATROLMAN STANDING ON THE CORNER AND TELLS HIM WHAT THE KID SAID TO THE PREACHER. OH, HE DID, DID HE SAYS PAT, WE’LL JUST SEE ABOUT THIS SMART MOUTHED KID AND HE WALKS UP TO THE KID AND STANDS THERE SLAPPING HIS NIGHT STICK IN HIS HAND. AND WHAT MIGHT YOU BE DOING WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT IN THE CAN? ASK PAT! “MAKING A PREACHER” ANSWERS THE KID. AND, WHAT IS IT YOU’RE MAKING THIS PREACHER OUT OF? ASK PAT. “DOG POOP” ANSWERS THE KID. AND, WHY DON’T YOU MAKE A POLICEMAN? ASK PAT! “AIN’T GOT ENOUGH POOP” ANSWERS THE KID AS HE GETS UP AND RUNS AWAY!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
