WEATHER, NICE, LOW HUMIDITY, 51/80 DEGREES
ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; HE, AS GEORGE M. COHAN HAD JUST BEEN AWARDED “THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR” BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
POP QUIZ; WHAT WAS SIGNIFACENT ABOUT THIS AWARD?
WE PICKED UP CHARLEEN LATINIS AND WENT TO 9:30 MASS, WHILE AT MASS I SUDDENLY REALIZED I HAD LOCKED THE KEYS I THE CAR. I ASKED MOM IF SHE HAD HER SET AND SHE CHECKED AND DIDN’T HAVE THEM, SHE HAD CHANGED PURSES AND LEFT THE KEYS IN THE OTHER ONE!
COLLEEN AND DICK WERE AT MASS SO I ASKED DICK WHAT THEY HAD DRIVEN TO CHURCH AND HE SAID THE NISSAN PATHFINDER SO I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD TAKE US HOME TO GET MOM’S KEYS AND HE SAID HE’D BE GLAD TO! IF THEY WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE KIA I DON’T THINK WE ALL COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN IT! ONE THING ABOUT DICK, YOU NEVER KNOW JUST WHAT HE’S GOING TO DRIVE? WHEN THEY TOOK US TO DINNER LAST NIGHT IT WAS IN THE LINCOLN TOWN CAR!
KELLY AND GLENDA INVITED US TO ANDREAS BIRTHDAY COOK OUT SO WE GOT ANOTHER FREE MEAL! WE HAD TO TAKE CHARLEEN BY DEBIES TO GET HER TAX PAPERS FOR MOM TO FINISH FILLING OUT AND SENT IN SO SHE’LL GET THE SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT! ALL THIS TIME WE’RE RUNNING ON THE BATTERY, OF COURSE WE DON’T RUN ANYTHING MORE THAN THE IGNITION AND TRANSMISSION, TURN SIGNALS AND STOP LIGHTS! IT SURE IS A GOOD BATTERY IT’S A FIVE YEAR WARRANTEE WITH NO CHARGE IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS IF IT FAILS! I PUT THE LITTLE BLUE CHARGER ON IT FOR 6-8 HOURS AT 8-10 AMPS! SO, THAT’S WHY WE DIDN’T GET BREAKFAST, WE HAD TO TAKE CHARLEEN HOME! I’M ONLY KIDDING, IF WE WANTED TOO WE COULD HAVE STOPPED FOR BREAKFAST BUT I OPTED NOT TO PRESS MY LUCK ON STOPPING AND STARTING!
SHANNON CALLED TONIGHT AND TOLD MOM SHE TOOK THE BACK OFF THE STERIO AND GOT THE DISC OUT KONNER HAD STUCK IN THE SLOT SO NOW SHE HAS HER STERIO BACK WORKING! IT’S SUPRISING WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN THE NEED/WANT ARISES.
HAVEN’T HEARD FROM KERRY OR MIKE THE ONLY TIME I TALK TO MIKE IS WHEN I CALL HIM TO GET HIS OPINION ON SOMETHING! KERRY CALLS AND TALKS TO US WHILE HE’S DRIVING, I GUESS HE CAN’T TALK FROM THE OFFICE WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS HE HAS TO ANSWER! HE CALLED ME FROM THERE ONE DAY AND BY THE TIME WE FINISHED OUR TALK HE HAD BEEN INTERUPTED 4-5 TIMES SO, NOW HE CALLS FROM THE CAR!
WE’LL SURE BE GLAD TO GET THE INTREPID ON THE ROAD, I HAVE SOME THINGS I NEED TO DO TO IT AS FAR AS THE INTERIOR AND FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS, THEY’RE NOT RIPPED, JUST SCRAPED UP SO I’M GOING TO SAND THEM DOWN AND REPAINT THEM! THERE ARE A FEW SMALL DENTS IN THE BODY METAL I CAN REMOVE WITH MY “HAIL DENT PULLER”, NONE OF THEM HAVE CRACKED THE PAINT SO IT SHOULD BE OK TO JUST PULL THEM OUT! I’VE GOT TO GET A RADIO FROM R&D AND A SET OF HUB CAPS AND THAT SHOULD DO IT! I TRIED THE A/C WHEN I FIRST GOT IT STARTED BUT ALL IT DID WAS BLOW WARM SO I FIGURED IT WAS A JOB FOR MIKE! LAST FRIDAY I HAD IT RUNNING AND FOUND THE A/C RELAY AND TAPPED IT, THE CLUTCH CLOSED AND IT STARTED COOLING, IT GETS COOL BUT NOT COLD SO I’LL PUT SOME 134A IN IT AND THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT LITTLE PROBLEM! EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE EXCEPT FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND I HOPE THAT’LL BE TAKEN CARE OF SOON! I’M NOT SURE IF TIM TOLD ME THE FRONT BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED, IF SO WE’LL DO THAT WHEN THEY DO THE TRANSMISSION! I FOUND PAPER WORK WHERE THE REAR SHOES AND DRUMS WERE REPLACED ABOUT 10,000 MILES BACK SO THEY SHOULD BE OK!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
