POP QUIZ; IN THE MOVIE, “THE LONGEST DAY” WHO PLAYED ROBERT MITCHUM’S COMMANDING OFFICER?

WE WENT TO THE VA IN BONHAM, TEXAS TODAY TO PICK UP MEDICINE MY DOCTOR FORGOT TO REORDER FOR ME! WE LEFT THERE AND WENT OUT TO CHARLEEN LATINIS SO SHE COULD TRY LILLIANS BATTERY OPERATED WEED EATER TO SEE HOW HEAVEY IT IS AND WAS SHE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT, SHE CAN AND IS GOING TO GET ONE! GARY CALLED WHILE WE WERE THERE AND SHE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE WEED EATER AND HIS COMMENT WAS; I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU COMPLAIN WHEN THE BATTERY GOES DEAD AND YOU CAN’T FINISH WHAT YOU’RE DOING! SHE SMILED AND SAID, IT COMES WITH TWO BATTERIES SO YOU KEEP ONE ON CHARGE TILL NEEDED! NO MORE COMMENTS!

I HAVEN’T TALKED TO MIKE FOR A FEW DAYS BUT KELLY SAYS HE’S DOING OK! I HAVEN’T TALKED TO PEGGY FOR A WHILE SO I’M SURE SHE AND PAUL ARE BUSY GETTING READY FOR THE UP COMING DRAG RACING SEASON. THE LAST I HEARD SHE’S RUNNING A BIGGER ENGINE AND AN UPDATED TRANSMISSION, I THINK SHE SAID THIS WILL PUT HER UP A CLASS BUT SHE WILL HAVE ENOUGH TO COMPETE! PAUL IS RUNNING A NEW ENGINE, SAME SIZE BUT BETTER EQUIPMENT AND ALSO AN UPDATED TRANSMISSION. HE AND PEGGY BOTH ARE RUNNING COMPLEYELY NEW DIFFERENTIALS AND GEAR RATIOS! PEGGY SHOULD BE WELL INTO THE LOW 11s AND 125-130 MPH CLASS! NOT BAD FOR A 55 YEAR OLD WOMEN, RIGHT?

SHANNONS DOING FINE, SHE AND KONNER, (I THINK HE’S 1 ½ ) ARE ABLE TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE. IT’S KIND OF HARD WITH TWO WOMEN UNDER THE SAME ROOF AND EACH ONE HAS THEIR OWN IDEA ABOUT HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE! THE HOME OWNER SHOULD HAVE THE FINAL WORD BUT IT DOESN’T ALWAYS TURN OUT LIKE THAT WITH A MOTHER/DAUGHTER SITUATION!

TALKED TO KERRY LAST WEEK AND EVERYTHING OK IN LOUISIANA ANS FARMERVILLE WHERE DEBI IS! I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD SHOW US AROUND ABOUT HIS JOB IF WE COULD MAKE IT DOWN THERE AND HE SAID “COME ON” SO WE’RE GOING TO TRY AND DO IT!

I TALKED TO LOU WATT TODAY, MY OLD SCHOOL BUDDY AND RETIRED TV DIRECTOR AND SCREEN WRITER! HE HAD SOMEONE COMING TO LOOK AT HIS HOUSE TODAY IN TEHACHAPI, CA., I SURE HOPE HE CAN GET IT SOLD! HE WAS PLANNING ON MOVING TO JUSTIN, TEXAS DOWN BY TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY AND ALLIANCE AIRPORT BUT JOYCE DOESN’T WANT TO MOVE THERE, IT WOULD BE ON HIS EX-WIFES LAND, LOU AND HER STILL GET ALONG GOOD BUT I THINK JOYCE IS A LITTLE LEARY ABOUT MOVING THERE!

CALLED TO TALK TO MY BROTHER JERRY TODAY AND PAT (HIS WIFE) ANSWERED THE PHONE AND TOLD ME HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, HE COMPLAINED OF CHEST PAINS AND WHEN THEY GOT HIM THERE THEY COULDN’T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO HE’S COMING HOME TOMORROW. I’LL TALK TO HIM THEN!

I HAVEN’T TALKED TO BILL MASON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT I’M GOING TO CALL HIM TOMORROW! HE’S TRYING TO SELL HIS BIG MOTOR HOME AND BUY A SMALL ONE JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO PEOPLE HE CAN TRAVEL IN! I DIDN’T REALIZE HOW EXPENSIVE THOSE LITTLE ONES ARE, ONE 2-3 YEARS OLD WITH DIESEL POWER IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, $55,000 TO $70,000 A NEW ONE OF TOP OF THE LINE $80,000 TO $100,000! HELL, WE COULD BUY A LOT OF GAS AND STAY IN MOTELS DO OUR LAUNDRY AND EAT IN RESTAURANTS FOR A LONG TIME FOR $100,000! THEN COME HOME EVERY 2-3  MONTH  FOR A MONTH OR SO!

 

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
