NMUBER 9 VOL 9
APRIL 9TH 2008
WEATHER; NICE, MED HUMIDITY, 46/70 DEGREES
THEN CLOUDY AND RAIN STORMS
NOTE; THIS POP QUIZ IS FOR THE 8TH OF APRIL!
IN THE MOVIE, “MISTER ROBERTS” WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE EXPLOSIVE ENSIGN PULVER SET OFF IN THE LAUNDRY?
POP QUIZ FOR THIS ISSUE; WHAT WAS THE ONE ITEM THE SHIPS CAPTAIN IN MISTER ROBERTS WAS SO PARANOID ABOUT?
CHARLEEN LATINIS CALLED TODAY AND INVITED US TO LUNCH, SHE SAID BECAUSE WE MISSED BREAKFAST LAST SUNDAY! WE PICKED HER UP AT 12:30 AND SHE SUGGESTED WE GO TO “THE LOOSE WHEEL”! COLLEEN AND DICK TOOK US BY THERE SUNDAY ON THE WAY HOME TO GET MOM’S KEYS! IT’S A REAL NEAT PLACE AND AFTER 7PM NO KIDS ALLOWED. DURING THE DAY THEY HAVE A LEASH LAW AND SAY YOU BETTER KEEP THEM UNDER CONTROL, THEY DON’T WANT KIDS BOTHERING THE OLDER PATRONS! THERE ARE TWO CEILING FANS WITH 12 FOOT BLADES, 8 ON EACH FAN! THEY HAVE SHUFFEL BOARD, POOL TABLES, AND OLD UPRIGHT PIANO AND JUST ABOUT ANY BRAND BEER YOU COULD WANT! THERE’S AN OUTDOOR STAGE WITH ALL THE SOUND EQUIPMENT, THERE ARE TWO BIG 5 FOOT STEEL TUBES 3 FEET IN DIMETER WHERE THEY ROAST WEENIES, MARSHMELLOWS AND POP POPCORN! INSIDE IS ABOUT 50X50 FEET AND WIDE OPEN EXCEPT FOR THE BAR WHICH HAS A BEAUTIFUL STAINLESS TOP! THERE’S A BEAUTIFUL HARLEY CHOPPER GOING AROUND ON A TURN TABLE ON TOP OF THE BAR AND IT’S FOR SALE, I DIDN’T GET A PRICE! THERE’S WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD VELLOCET (?) MOTORCYCLE HANGING ON THE WALL! OUT SIDE AS YOU COME FROM THE PARKING LOT IS A HUGE HOMEMADE MOTORCYCLE ON A TRAILER, IT AS A 4 CYLINDER V-TYPE ENGINE, A CHAIN GOING TO THE REAR WHEEL, FRONT AND REAR BAKES, A PRIMARY CHAIN COVER, STEERHORN HANDLE BARS, TWO SADDLES AND FROM WHAT COLLEEN OR DICK SAID, IT REALLY RUNS! THE SPOKE WHEELS ARE AT LEAST 6 INCHES WIDE AND HAVE RUBBER TIRES ON THEM! THE NEXT TIME OUT I’M GOING TO TAKE SOME PICTURES AND SEND THEM TO SOME OF YOU READERS! THIS IS A REAL SHOW PLACE AND ANYONE WHO COMES TO VISIT WE’LL TAKE THEM THERE FOR LUNCH OR DINNER!
WE LEFT “THE LOOSE WHEEL” AND WENT TO PICK UP HALEY JO THEN WE TOOK CHARLEEN TO ALBERTSONS TO GET A FEW THINGS THEN TOOK HER HOME TO POTTSBORO, HALEY JO REALLY GOT A RIDE TODAY! WHEN WE PICK HER UP SHE ALWAYS WANTS TO KNOW IF WE’RE GOING SOMEPLACE AND LATELY WE’VE BEEN RUNNING ALL OVER! SO, TODAY WAS A REAL TREAT FOR HER!
WHEN WE GOT IN THE CAR I STARTED IT AND LOOKED FOR THE RED “CHECK ENGINE LIGHT”, THERE WASN’T ONE SHOWING, I GUESS WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM!
BOY, THERE WAS SOME REAL BAD WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON FROM SOUTH OF DALLAS/FT.WORTH ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RED RIVER, ONE CELL COVERED 3-4 COUNTIES AND HAD UP TO 4” HAIL! WE GOT SOME HARD RAIN AND WINDS BUT NO HAIL! THE WEATHER PEOPLE SAY WE’RE SUPPOSED TO GET MORE TONIGHT AND UP TO TOMORROW SOMETIME! THERE WERE A FEW TORNADOES IN THE AREA BUT NONE EVEN GOT NEAR US, THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE WON’T GET ONE OR MORE TOMORROW. WE JUST PRAY THAT NONE HIT ON US DIRECTLY!
SO FAR THE DECK TIM AND KELLY BUILT HAS TAKEN WHATEVER COMES AND I’VE BEEN OUT ON IT IN SOME HARD RAIN AND WIND AND IT DOESN’T EVEN MOVE! THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF SLOPPING THE ROOF AND ANCHORING IT DOWN! OF COURSE WE COULD GO OUT TOMORROW AND FIND IT ALL OVER THE YARD BUT, I DON’T REALLY THINK SO!
SHANNON MOVED KYLIE TO ANOTHER PLACE HER ROOM MATE EXPECTED HER TO PAY ALL THE UTILITIES AND STILL PAY RENT AND BUY THE FOOD! I DON’T KNOW WHAT ARRANGEMENTS THEY HAD BUT I DON’T THINK THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE!
WE HAVEN’T HEARD FROM KAITLIN SINCE SHE AND NOEL WENT BACK TO COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO. I’M ASSUMING SHANNON HAS HEARD FROM HER!
MOM AND I GOT CALLS FROM ALL THE KIDS ON OUR BIRTHDAYS AND ALSO SOME FROM FRIENDS, BILL MASON BEV COVILLE (LILLIANS COUSIN IN EL PASO) GARY LATINIS IS ON THE ROAD AND CALLED FROM OHIO, IRENE ONSAGER, LILLIANS SISTER IN WISCONSIN AND OTHERS I CAN’T RECALL!
TIM’S COMING ALONE THIS WEEKEND, ELYSE HAS TO BE AT THE HOUSE WHEN TERMINEX COMES AND DOES THEIR YEARLY SPRAYING!
KERRY WILL BE OFF THE 20TH FOR 3 WEEKS, DON’T KNOW IF THEY’LL COME UP THIS TIME OR NOT? WE’RE NOT SURE IF WE’LL BE ABLE TO MAKE LILLIANS FAMILY REUNION THIS YEAR IN WISCONSIN OR NOT! I THINK I COULD DRIVE IT IF WE STOPPED EVERY100-200 MILES AND I COULD GET OUT AND WALK A BIT! IT’S REALLY UP TO MOM! I’M SURE SHE’S CHECKING INTO AIRLINES AND AMTRACK, I DON’T KNOW IF I COULD MAKE IT ON A BUS BUT I’M WILLING TO TRY! THE LAST BUS I RODE ON WAS IN 1951 WHEN I RODE HOME TO HOLLYWOOD FROM VALDOSTA, GA.! I’M SURE BUSSES HAVE GHANGED A LOT SINCE THEN AND IF MY LEGS WON’T GET CRAMPED I THINK CAN MAKE IT!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
