MOM AND I WENT TO R&D FOR THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE INTREPID, WHEN KELLY GOT HOME HE LAID IT OUT AND SAW THAT THE TWO PLUGS HE NEEDED HAD BEEN CUT OUT OF THE LOOM! I’LL TAKE IT BACK TOMORROW AND SEE IF THEY HAVE A GOOD ONE IN ANOTHER WRECK! I THINK I’LL TAKE THE INTREPID UP TO R&D TOMORROW SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT I NEED!

 

I ALSO GOT THE PLASTIC GRILL THAT GOES ACROSS UNDER THE WIPERS!

 

I LEFT THE FAN MOTORS FOR TIMS NEON WITH THEM SO THEY CAN MAYBE MATCH THEM UP FROM A DIFFERENT CAR! I ALSO LEFT THE ONE HUB CAP THAT WAS ON THE INTREPID TO SEE IF THEY CAN MATCH IT OR COME UP WITH A SET OF 4 OTHER CAPS, I’D LIKE TO HAVE THE ORIGINALS!

 

TALKED TO BILL MASON TONIGHT, HE’S DOING OK BUT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE, WE TRY TO DO A LITTLE WORK OUT SIDE AND AFTER A WHILE WE HAVE TO SET DOWN AND REST ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN WE CAN GET UP AND WORK A LITTLE LONGER! HE GOT HIS CDL SO HE CAN GO BACK TO WORK WHEN THEY CALL HIM! HE HOPES TO HAVE THE MESS WITH LEONA SETTLED BY NEXT WEEK, SHE’S REALLY BEING AN ASS ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING, OF COURSE WE SAW WHAT SHE COULD TURN INTO THE LAST TIME THEY WERE HERE, A REAL WITCH!

FYI

PHONE REPAIR

A  Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.

The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house.

The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring.

Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.

Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.

Thought you'd like to know.

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
