HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 17 VOL 9
APRIL 17TH 2008
WEATHER; CLOUDY, MED HUMIDITY, 00/00 DEGREES
ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; “IRVING BERLIN” WROTE GOD BLESS AMERICA
POP QUIZ; WHAT FEMALE SINGER DID HE WRITE IT FOR?
FIRST LET ME CLARIFY SOMETHING I SAID IN THE LAST CHRONICLE;
I SAID THE POPE WAS GOING TO SAY MASS TODAY, THURSDAY IN THE “INTERNATIONAL STADIUM” IN NEW YORK! ACTUALLY HE SAID MASS IN THE “NATIONALS PARK” IN WASHINGTON, D.C. HE WILL SAY MASS ON SATURDAY IN YANKEE STADIUM IN NEW YORK!
WE SPENT THE MORNING WATCHING THE MASS FROM THE “NATIONALS PARK”! REALLY SPECTACULAR, THERE WERE OVER 46,000 PEOPLE THERE AND THEY GAVE OUT 13,000 COMMUNION HOST THE PRIEST PASSING OUT THE HOST WERE UNDER YELLOW UMBRELLAS SO THEY COULD BE FOUND POPE BENEDICT XVI PASSED OUT 50 HOST TO 50 SPECIAL GUEST! EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE HAD TO HAVE A TICKET EXCEPT THE POPE’S PERSONAL GROUP! CNN REPORTED ONE MAN HAD A TICKET AND LOST IT, THEY SAID HE HAD TEARS IN HIS EYES TRYING TO FIND IT, HE WAS FROM ARIZONA OR NEW MEXICO, I THINK!
LATER ON WE WENT TO SERVICE PARTS TO LOOK AT SOME SPECISL SPARK PLUGS, I’M LOOKING FOR THE LSG HALIO PLUG. IT’S SUPPOSED TO GIVE 12% BETTER MILEAGE AND MORE POWER! I’M TRYING TO INCREASE OUR GAS MILEAGE AS MUCH AS I CAN WITHOUT MAKING MAJOR CHANGES TO THE ENGINE OR GEARING THE LAST RESORT WILL BE BUYING A HI GAS MILEAGE CAR LIKE A TOYOTA OR HONDAM OR JUST QUIT DRIVING AS MUCH AS WE DO. THE ACCLAIM IS GIVING A CONSTANT 22+ MPG BUT THE ENGINE AND WHOLE CAR HAS OVER 300,000 MILES ON IT, WHICH IS WHY WE BOUGHT THE INTREPID, IT HAS A TOTAL OF 184,502 ON IT! AFTER WE GET THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED WE’LL NEVER NEED ANOTHER CAR, IT SHOULD LAST MANY MILES AND YEARS UNLESS IT IS WRECKED OR SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS TO IT!
AFTER SERVICE PARTS WE WENT TO R&D TO SEE ABOUT GETTING TWO RADIATOR FAN MOTORS FOR TIM’S NEON, THEY NEEDED TO KNOW WHERE THE CAR WAS MADE, U.S.A. OR MEXICO? WHERE THE RECOVERY (OVERFLOW) TANK IS LOCATED? AND THE ID#S ON THE OLD MOTORS? I DECIDED TO WAIT TILL TIM GETS HERE SATURDAY THEN I’LL GO BACK TO R&D WITH THE OLD MOTORS SO WE GET THE RIGHT ONES!
WE GOT SOME PRETTY HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT AND HIGH WINDS BUT NO HAIL OR TORNADOES! LUCKED OUT AGAIN! TOMORROW IS SUPPOSED TO CLEAR UP AND SATURDAY IS GOING TO BE A PERFCT DAY FOR ANY ACTIVIES EXCEPT ICE SKATING OR SNOW GAMES!
MY BROTHER JERRY CALLED TODAY, HE GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL YESTERDAY BUT WAITED TILL TODAY TO CALL! HE SAID THEY FOUND A LITTLE MORE FLUID IN HIS LUNGS BUT NOTHING ELSE! THANK GOD FOR THAT!
HERE’S A LITTLE ITEM I GOT IN ONE OF MY E-MAILS , SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER TO ME!
MOSQUITO SPRAY
I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THIS IN THE SUMMER!
I WAS AT A DECK PARTY AWHILE BACK, AND THE BUGS WERE HAVING A BALL BITING EVERYONE. A MAN AT THE PARTY SPRAYED THE LAWN AND DECK FLOOR WITH LISTERINE, AND THE LITTLE DEMONS DISAPPEARED.
THE NEXT YEAR I FILLED A 4-OUNCE SPRAY BOTTLE AND USED IT AROUND MY SEAT WHENEVER I SAW MOSQUITOES. AND VOILA! THAT WORKED AS WELL. IT WORKED AT A PICNIC WHERE WE SPRAYED THE AREA AROUND THE FOOD TABLE, THE CHILDREN'S SWING AREA, AND THE STANDING WATER NEARBY.
DURING THE SUMMER, I DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.....PASS IT ON.
------------------
OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS:
I TRIED THIS ON MY DECK AND AROUND ALL OF MY DOORS. IT WORKS - IN FACT, IT KILLED THEM INSTANTLY. I BOUGHT MY BOTTLE FROM TARGET AND IT COST ME $1.89. IT REALLY DOESN'T TAKE MUCH, AND IT IS A BIG BOTTLE, TOO; SO IT IS NOT AS EXPENSIVE TO USE AS THE CAN OF SPRAY YOU BUY THAT DOESN'T LAST 30 MINUTES. SO, TRY THIS, PLEASE. IT WILL LAST A COUPLE OF DAYS. DON'T SPRAY DIRECTLY ON A WOOD DOOR (LIKE YOUR FRONT DOOR), BUT SPRAY AROUND THE FRAME. SPRAY AROUND THE WINDOW FRAMES, AND EVEN INSIDE THE DOG HOUSE.
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
