ANSWER TO THE POP QUIZ; “PETER FALK” PLAYED PROFESSOR FATE’S ASSISTANT
POP QUIZ; IN THE 1939 VERSION OF “STAGECOACH”, WHAT WAS ANDY DEVINE’S NAME?
WE TOOK THE CAR TO START-RIGHT THIS MORNING, THEY PULLED THE ALTERNATOR AND CHECKED IT OUT, THEY FOUND ONE REAL SHORT BRUSH AND THE SLIP RINGS WORN DOWN SO THEY TURNED THE SLIP RINGS AND PUT IN A SET OF BRUSHES! PUT IT BACK ON AND WE HAD THE SAME THING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON! THEY ALSO CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND THEY WERE OK!
WE HAD THIS WITH A PONTIAC WHEN WE WERE IN THE BUSINESS, THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE BATTERY KEPT GOING DEAD! WE FOUND THE HEATER HI-BLOWER FUSE WHICH WAS IN THE VERY BOTTOM SLOT OF THE FUSE PANEL BLOWN, THE LOW AND MEDIMUM SPEEDS WORKED AND NOBODY THOUGHT A BLOWER FUSE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ALTERNATOR! WE REPLACED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE BATTERY STARTED SHOWING IT WAS BEING CHARGED!
LOOKING IN THE BOOK I FOUND A SMALL SECTION IN DARK PRINT THAT SAID; “THE HI-BLOWER FUSE ALSO CONTROLS THE FIELD ENERGIZER FOR THE ALTERNATOR, IF IT IS BLOWN LOOK FOR A BAD BLOWER MOTOR OR BARE WIRE IN THE LOOM! AFTER LETTING THE BLOWER RUN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT HEATED UP AND BLEW THE FUSE WE PUT IN, A NEW MOTOR WAS INSTALLED AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM! WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM I ALWAYS LOOK IN THE BOOK FOR THESE LITTLE SIDE NOTES AND THEY’RE ALWAYS THERE IF YOU LOOK!
AFTER DOING SOME MORE CHECKING THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR WHICH HAPPENS TO BE IN “ESMC” OR, THE COMPUTER! NOBODY IN TEXAS OR OKLAHOMA HAS A USED ONE, R&D WENT OVER EVERY 91 PLMOUTH AND CHRYSLER THAT USED IT AND CAME UP EMPTY HANDED! TIM CALLED AROUND AND FOUND ONE IN SOME TOWN IN OKLAHOMA 54 MILES NORTH OF US SO MOM CALLED AND THEY HAD TO GO LOOK AND WE SHOULD CALL BACK LATER, WE WAITED TILL AFTER 5PM AND WHEN MOM CALLED THEY SAID THEY CRUSHED THE CAR!
THE BEST DEAL WE FOUND ON A REBUILT ONE WAS $169.99 + TAX FROM AUTO-ZONE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER IT, IT WILL BE IN FRIDAY AFTER 3PM!
KERRY CALLED TODAY TO TELL MOM THAT IF YOU DON’T FILE YOUR TAX FORM EVEN IF YOU DON’T PAY ANY TAX YOU WON’T BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE REBATE! MOM HAS ALREADY FILED OURS BUT I’M PASSING THIS ON TO WARN THOSE WHO DON’T THINK THEY HAVE TO FILE TO GET THE REBATE, YOU DO HAVE TO FILE!
MY 2ND COUSIN, BILL NEUENDORFF RETIRED ON THE 1ST OF APRIL!
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE AMONG THE “UNEMPLOYED” BILL? BELIEVE ME YOU’LL GET USED TO IT AND ENJOY EVERY MINUTE SO, MY CONGRATULATIONS! YOU MADE IT!!!!!!!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
