THIRTY THREE YEARS AGO TODAY MOM AND I WERE MARRIED IN THE CHURCH! IT TOOK SEVENTEEN YEARS TO GET MY FIRST MARRIAGE ANNULED! THE LAST THREE YEARS WAS HANDLED BY FATHER JOHN A. BRENNEN, PASTOR AT SAINT PATRICKS CATHOLIC CHURCH IN DENISON, TEXAS! HE IS NOW, MONSIGNOR JOHN A. BRENNEN!
FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY WE WENT TO DINNER AT APPLEBEES IN SHERMAN! IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE A TOTAL OF 50 YEARS, 17 CIVIL AND 33 BY THE CHURCH, IT FEELS MORE LIKE 50 MINUTES! I’M SERIOUS, IT JUST DOESN’T FEEL LIKE YEARS, A YEAR IS A LONG TIME AND OUR RELATIONSHIP SEEM LIKE MINUTES TO ME!
I WENT OUT THIS AFTERNOON AND STARTED THE INTREPID AFTER LETTING THE TRANSMISSION SOAK OVERNIGHT WITH THE B-12. I BACKED IT OUT OF THE PARKING PLACE AND TRIED DRIVE, WOW, IT STARTED TO PULL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, WHEN I GOT TO THE ROAD I STOPPED AND LOOKED BOTH WAYS AND STEPPED ON THE GAS, IT PULLED AWAY LIKE EVERYTHING WAS OK, IT WENT DOWN THE HILL TO THE REPAIRED PLACE IN THE ROAD THAT HAD WASHED OUT LAST YEAR DURING THE FLOODING, IT PULLED UP THE OTHER SIDE LIKE A NEW CAR! WOW, I’M IN HOG HEAVEN, I WENT A ½ MILE AND STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN AT WILLAFA WOODS ROAD AND IT JUST BARELY PULLED AWAY, I GOT IT UP TO 35 MPH AND WENT 11/2 MILES TO THE NEXT STOP, IT JUST BARELY PULLED AWAY BUT I GOT TO THE “LUCKY STOP” ABOUT 1000 FEET AND HAD TO CIRCLE AROUND TO GET TO WHERE THE PUMP WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE FILLER NECK IS! I TRIED TO PULL AWAY IN DRIVE BUT IT WAS SLIPPING TOO BAD SO I SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTARTED AND WENT HOME IN LOW RANGE! ON THE WAY TO DINNER WE STOPPED AT AUTO ZONE AND GOT TWO PTS. OF LUCAS FOR THE TRANSMISSION, I’LL PUT ONE IN TOMORROW AFTER I WARM IT UP AND SEE WHAT THAT DOES! TIM AND KELLY ARE READY TO PUT THE OTHER ONE WE’LL GET FROM R&D IN TWO WEEKENDS FROM EASTER IF THIS DOESN’T WORK!
SHANNON WAS OUT TODAY AND VISITED FOR A WHILE! HER DAUGHTER KAITLIN WHO HAS BEEN STAYING WITH HER IS GOING BACK TO COLORADO NEXT THURSDAY! HER AND JOSH HAD A LONG TOP AND THEY BOTH WANT TO MAKE IT WORK! WE UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE COUNSELING SET UP, WE HOPE IT’S NOT WITH A FRIEND, NEIGHBOR OR RELATIVE! IT NEEDS TO BE A PERSON WHO DOESN’T KNOW EITHER OF THEM PERSONALLY! WE WISH THEM GOOD LUCK!
KERRY CALLED TODAY AND WE TALKED FOR QUITE A WHILE, EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THEM! MOM TALKED TO COLLEEN TODAY AND SHE REALLY LOVES HER NEW JOB, SHE GOT TWO $25.00 BONUSES THIS PAST WEEK AND HAS ONLY BEEN THERE TWO WEEKS! SHE HOPES THEY PUT HER ON PERMANENT AFTER HER PROBATION ENDS!
KELLY’S BEEN TAKING ON WORK FIXING CARS FOR PEOPLE AT WORK, ITS GOOD SIDE MONEY! GLENDA WAS OFF WORK SICK FOR FOUR DAYS BUT WENT BACK TODAY, I GUESS EVERYTHING IS OK!
TIM HAD TO WORK FROM HOME THIS WEEK, THE KIDS WERE OUT OF SCHOOL AND DAYCARE IS TO DAMN EXPENSIVE! THE WAY HE’S HOOKED UP TO HIS JOB HE CAN WORK AT HOME AND GET MORE DONE, THAT’S WHY I WOULD GO OVER TO THE SHOP AT NIGHT SOMETIMES, I COULD GET MORE DONE IN 2-3 HOURS THAN IN 8 HOURS WHEN EVERYBODY WAS THERE!
MIKE WENT IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A SLEEP TEST, HE HAS SLEEP APNEA AND IS BEING FITTED FOR SOME KIND OF MACHINE! MOM SAYS I HAVE THE SAME THING! I WENT TO DALLAS VA 3 YEARS AGO AND THEY PUT A BUNCH OF TUBES ON MY HEAD AND STARTED BLOWING AIR UP MY NOSE, IT BLEW THE PATCH LOSE I HAVE ON MY LEFT EAR DRUM FROM A DIVING ACCIDENT AND I RIPPED THE STUFF OFF AND CALLED THE TECHNICIAN IN AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE WROTE IT UP! I TRIED TO USE THE STRIPS ON THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE BUT THEY MADE A SORE ON MY NOSE. I’M GOING TO TRY THEM AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I’LL PUT SOME OINTMENT ON THE NOSE WHERE THE STRIP TOUCHES IT THEN MAYBE MOM WILL BE ABLE TO GET SOME REST, I WAKE HER UP WITH THE HEAVY BREATHING AND SHE GOES OUT ON THE COUCH WHICH ISN’T RIGHT!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
