WELL, I MADE ANOTHER ONE!

WEATHER; WARM, MED HUMIDITY, 46/79 DEGREES

ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; GEORGE M. COHAN WAS THE FIRST ENTERTAINER/CIVILIAN TO RECEIVE THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR!

POP QUIZ; WHY DID JAMES CAGNEY WANT TO PLA Y THE PART OF GEORGE M. COHAN SO BAD?

WE PICKED UP HALEY JO AND WENT UP TO R&D TO GET A VOLTAGE REGULATOR OFF AN EARLY MODEL CHRYSLER PRODUCT, 1960-1973. CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH THEIR ALTERNATOR IN 1960 AND USED A SMALL RELAY TYPE REGULATOR. SCOTT AND I GOT IN A PICK UP AND DROVE ALL OVER THE YARD CHECKING EACH EARLY MODEL PICK UP AND CAR FOR ONE OF THOSE REGULATORS, AT LEAST 75 OF THEM AND THERE WASN’T ONE WITH THE REGULATOR STILL ON IT!

OF COURSE I COULDN’T DO WHAT SCOTT TOLD ME TO DO, STAY IN THE PICK UP AND HE’D GO CHECK FOR THE REGULATORS AND MY LEGS GAVE OUT AND I OVER DID IT AGAIN!  WHEN I GOT HOME I FELT LIKE I’D BEEN DRUG THROUGH A KNOT HOLE AND BEEN  “BEAT BAD WITH A UGLY STICK!” 

I CALLED BUD WINES OUR FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR HOYTE CHRYSLER TO SEE IF HE HAD ONE OF THE REGULATORS, HE SAID HE MIGHT HAVE ONE IN SOME OF HIS OLD CAR JUNK (TYPICAL OLD TIME MECHANIC, NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY) HE’S GOING TO LOOK TOMORROW AND CALL ME IF HE HAS ONE!

R&D SAID THEY’RE GOING TO GET THE TRANSMISSION OUT TOMORROW IF THE RAIN WILL JUST HOLD OFF FOR ANOTHER NIGHT.DAY!

 

AUTO ZONE DIDN’T GET THE COMPUTER IN TODAY AND HOPES IT’LL BE IN TOMORROW, IF IT DOESN’T COME IN OR IT ISN’T THE RIGHT ONE WE’LL GET OUR MONEY BACK AND PAY THE HIGH PRICE FOR A NEW REGULATOR LIKE WE NEED! I AM LOOKING FOR A USED ONE TO TRY, IF IT WORKS LIKE WE THINK IT WILL WE’LL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE!

I GOT ALL KINDS OF CALLS, E-MAIL CARDS AND CARDS IN THE MAIL   WISHING ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SURE DID ENJOY HEARING FROM FRIENDS AND RELATIONS! I ALSO GOT A CARD FROM NASCAR, MY STATE SENATOR AND OUR INSURANCE AGENT!

JOKE

THIS GUYS WIFE GOT TIRED OF HIM GETTING LOST ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE LOCAL BAR EVERY NIGHT SO SHE GOT HIM A LANTERN TO SEE HIS WAY WITH.

THE FIRST NIGHT HE USED THE LANTERN HE LEFT THE BAR AND HELD THE LANTERN UP TO READ THE STREET SIGN AND SAID; YEP, THIS IS MY STREET. HE WALKED FOR A WHILE AND CAME TO A FENCE, HE HELD THE LANTERN UP TO SEE THE WHOLE FENCE AND SAID; YEP, THIS IS MY FENCE AND FOLLOWED IT TO A GATE, HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAID; YEP, THIS IS MY GATE SO HE OPENED IT AND WALKED UP TO THE STEPS LEADING UP TO THE PORCH, HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAID; YEP, THESE ARE MY STEPS AND THAT’S MY PORCH SO, HE FELL UP THE STEPS TO THE PORCH. THEN HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAW A BIG DOOR AND HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAID; YEP, THAT’S MY FRONT DOOR SO HE WENT AND OPENED IT AND STEPPED INSIDE, HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAID; YEP, THIS IS MY ENTRANCE HALL AND THOSE ARE MY STAIRS TO THE 2^ND FLOOR. HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND STUMBLED UP THE STAIRS AND GOT TO THE LANDING HOLDING THE LANTERN UP. HE HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAID; YEP, THERE’S MY BEDROOM DOOR AND HE STUMBLED OVER TO IT AND OPENED IT AND STEPPED IN SIDE AND HELD THE LANTERN UP AND SAID; YEP, THERE’S MY WIFE AND I IN BED BUT WHO’S THE S.O.B. HOLDING THAT LANTERN!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
