HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 12 & 13 VOL 9
APRIL 12TH & 13TH 2008
WEATHER; BOTH DAYS; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 46/65 DEGREES BOTH DAYS
ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; “RED BUTTONS” SAID “LOUD AND CLEAR SIR” AT THE PREINVASION BRIEFING FOR D-DAY JUNE 6-44
POP QUIZ; IN THE MOVIE “THE LONGEST DAY” WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE RUBBER DUMMIES THAT WERE DROPPED TO CONFUSE THE GERMANS INTO THINKING THEY WERE PARATROOPERS?
WE GOT THE STARTING PROBLEM WITH THE ACCLAIM FIXED ON SATURDAY MORNING AND TIM AND KELLY FINALLY GOT TO WORK ON THE INTREPID SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE OLD TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND IN THE BACK OF KELLY’S PICKUP TO BE TAKEN BACK TO R&D! THE OTHER ONE IS SETTING UNDER THE CAR WAITING TO BE PUT UP IN PLACE WHICH THEY HOPE TO DO NEXT SATURDAY! BOY, THAT’S A HELL OF A JOB TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF THE INTREPID, NO WONDER THE BOOK GIVES 8 HOURS TO R&R IT! TIM AND KELLY DIDN’T REALLY GET STARTED TILL AFTER I:30 PM WHEN KELLY GOT HOME, AND QUIT ABOUT 7 PM! TIM AND I WERE BUSY TRYING TO GET THE CAR UP IN THE AIR SAFELY SO THEY COULD WORK UNDER IT! THEY ARE WORKING ON GRAVEL USING CARDBOARD AND PLYWOOD TO LAY ON!
LAST NIGHT (SATURDAY) I GOT REAL SICK WHILE GETTING READY TO WRITE THE “CHRONICLE” AND WENT TO BED! I FELT PRETTY GOOD TODAY (SUNDAY) BUT MAY GO TO THE VA TOMORROW AND GET CHECKED OVER, CAN’T BE TOO CAREFUL AT MY AGE!
SORRY, THIS IS REAL SHORT!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
HOWARD
