KELLY HAD AN EASTER EGG HUNT FOR THE KIDS TODAY! MOM MADE 5 CHOCOLATE/PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE PIES TODAY AND TOOK ONE DOWN TO KELLY & GLENDA! THEY GAVE US TWO HARD BOILED EGGS APIECE!
COLLEEN AND DICK CAME OUT TODAY AND BROUGHT US A PLANTED RED TULIP FOR EASTER WITH A REAL NICE CARD, IT SURE IS PRETTY!
MOM AND COLLEEN VISITED AND WALKED AROUND THE PROPERTY LOOKING AT THE TREES WE CUT DOWN AND WHERE MOM IS GOING TO PUT HER NEW “RAISED GARDEN”! IT’LL BE IN TWO 4’X4’ SECTIONS THEN DIVIDED INTO 2’X2’ SECTIONS, AND BE 16-24 INCHES OFF THE GROUND! THIS WAY IT’LL BE EASIER TO WORK INSTEAD OF SPENDING HOURS ON HER KNEES SHE’LL BE ABLE TO WORK IT FROM A CHAIR OR BENDING OVER!
DICK AND I TALKED CARS AND PEOPLE HE AND I KNEW THAT HAD REALLY CHEATED HIM AND GARY LATINIS WHEN THEY WORKED ON THEIR CLASSIC CARS! THEY BOTH HAVE GOOD LONG MEMORIES!
DICK JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER AIRPLANE, A CESSNA 175, HE SAID IT SURE DOES FLY NICE! INSTEAD OF A STRAIGHT OFF THE CRANK SHAFT PROPELLER THIS ONE HAS A GEAR REDUCTION PROP DRIVE SO INSTEAD OF 200 HP IT’S RATED AT 275HP! HE STILL HAS HIS PIPER TRI-PACER BUT IT’S MORE OF AN INVESTMENT THAN FOR FLYING AROUND THE COUNTRY SIDE!
I TOOK THE INTREPID OUT AGAIN TODAY AND THIS TIME IT WENT ABOUT 3 MILES BEFORE IT STOPPED PULLING FROM A STANDSTILL! I GOT IT UP TO 50 MPH WITHOUT REALLY CROWDING IT BUT, YOU CAN FEEL WHEN IT STARTS SLIPPING!
GARY LATINIS CALLED TODAY AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PRICE OF DIESEL ON THE ROAD AND A MACHINE HE HAS TO TAKE TO HOUSTON TOMORROW! HE SAID DIESEL IS OVER $4.00 A GALLON!
HE ASKED ABOUT THE INTREPID AND IF I HAD A MUTUAL FRIEND CHECK THE TRANSMISSION AND I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT THE MAN HAD DIED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO AND HE SAID NO, HE HAD HIM FIX A CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION FOR HIM A WHILE BACK AND IS GOING TO TAKE HIS 2000 GMC IN FOR SERVICE! MOM GOT THE MANS NAME OFF THE INTERNET SO I’LL CALL HIM TOMORROW AND SEE WHAT HE THINKS THE PROBLEM IS!
I TALKED TO BILL MASON TODAY AND HE’S DOING JUST FINE WITH THE NEW PACEMAKER! HE HASN’T BEEN WORKING ANY LATELY WHICH HE DOESN’T MIND, IT GIVES HIM A CHANCE TO GET THING DONE LIKE GETTING HIS BIG MOTOR HOME READY TO SELL! HE HAD A FRIEND CLIMB UP ON THE TOP AND CUT THE LOCKS OFF A STORAGE BOX AND PASS THE CONTENTS DOWN TO HIM, HE SAID THE THINGS IN THAT BOX WERE FORGOTTEN A LONG TIME AGO, IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS!
HE TOOK THE COACH TO HIS FRIENDLY MECHANIC AND GOT THE TOP CLEARANCE LIGHT FIXED, BLOWN RELAY AND OVER HALF THE BULBS WERE BURNED OUT, NOW HE’LL TAKE IT BACK TO HAVE TWO LIGHTS REPLACED OVER THE SINK IN THE BACK BED ROOM AND OVER THE KITCHEN SINK! HE HAS AN AD COMING OUT IN AN RV MAGAZINE! WHEN HE SELLS IT HE’LL BUY ONE THAT’S FOR TWO PEOPLE AND IS ON A SMALL TRUCK CHASSIS, HE’S LOOKING AT ONE THAT’S DIESEL POWERED BUT NOW WITH THE PRICE OF DIESEL SO HIGH HE’LL HAVE TO FIND ONE THAT GIVES OVER 15MPG TO JUSTIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAS AND DIESEL! HE SAID THE ONE HE’S LOOKIG AT HAS A 5CYL MERCEDES DIESEL ENGINE AND IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE AROUND 23-24MPG!
JOKE
AFTER MASS ONE SUNDAY MORNING THE PRIEST WAS STANDING ON THE STEPS IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH WHEN THIS HIPPY CAME OUT! HE REACHED OVER AND TOUCHED HIS ARM AND MOTIONED HIM TO COME OVER WHERE HE WAS STANDING WHICH THE HIPPY DID! WHAT’S THE PROBLEM POP? ASKED THE HIPPY. THE PRIEST QUIETLY TOLD HIM HOW THE SIGN OF THE CROSS WENT, IT’S “IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY GHOST” THEN ADDED, IT’S NOT “BIG DADDY, LITTLE DADDY AND SPOOK”!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
