HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 11 VOL 10
MAY 11TH 2008
WEATHER; BEAUTIFUL, LOW HUMIDITY, 46/78 DEGREES
WELL, LIKE I SAID IN MY LAST CHRONICLE EVERYONE EXCEPT KERRY AND DEBI SHOWED UP FOR THE COOK OUT, COLLEEN AND DICK WERE LATE BUT GOT HERE AND BOBBY JO AND JESSICA, GLENDAS SON AND GRAND DAUGHTER WERE LATE BUT THEYGOT HERE ALSO!
THE FOOD WAS GREAT WE HAD BRATWERST, HUGE HAMBURGERS, BAKED BEANS, COLESLAW, PASTA SALAD, SOFT DRINKS AND BEER! EVERYONE VISITED AND THE KIDS PLAYED IN THE YARD ON ALL THE PLAY THINGS KELLY AND GLENDA HAVE BUT THE BIG ATTRACTION WAS A LARGE CARDBOARD BOX THAT HAD A DOOR AND SMALL WINDOWS CUT IN THE SIDES, EVEN KONNER, THE YOUNGEST AND SMALLEST GOT IN ON THAT FUN BUT, THEN SOMEONE PUSHED IT OVER AND TRAPPED HALEY JO INSIDE AND THEY ALL STARTED JUMPING ON IT! THAT ENDED THE CARDBOARD BOX PLAY THING! SHE WASN’T HURT BUT IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF HER! I CAN IMAGINE HOW SHE FELT!
MIKE WAS THE FIRST ONE HERE AND WE VISITED FOR QUITE A WHILE, HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO A HOUSE OWNED BY HIS BOSS TO REWIRE IT! HE BROUGHT A PRETTY YELLOW POTTED FLOWER AND CARD. THERE WERE OTHER CARDS AND GIFTS BUT THEY WERE FOR MOM AND I’M NOT SURE WHO BROUGHT WHAT BUT, SINCE MIKES WAS FIRST I SAW IT! I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM WITH THE INTREPID TO HIM AND HIS SUGGESTION IS TO OHM THE WIRES FROM THE SENSOR TO THE COMPUTER AND BE SURE THEY ARE GOING WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO! ONE WIRE SWITCHED WILL BE CAUSE FOR IT NOT TO START. KELLY SAID HE WOULD DO THAT. IN THE MEAN TIME I MAY GO TO R&D TO BORROW THE COMPUTER OUT OF THE CAR THE HARNESS CAME FROM TO SEE IF THAT WILL HELP, IF IT DOES WE’LL JUST CHANGE IT OUT! IF IT DOESN’T I’M STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD THE NEW HARNESSES!
TIM KELLY AND I TALKED ABOUT THE INTREPID AND ALL AGREE IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS TWO WIRES BEING ON DIFFERENT PINS IN THE COMPUTER, THE WIRES AT THE SENSOR END ARE IN THE SAME PLACES IN BOTH HARNESES! WE SURE HOPE SO, ALL WE WANT TO DO IS START DRIVING THE CAR AND START GETTING SOME RETURN FROM OUR INVESTMENT! WE’VE GONE TOO FAR TO STOP NOW! WE’VE GOT TO FIX IT!
I MENTIONED TAKING MOM TO APPLEBEES FOR DINNER IN MY LAST CHRONICLE, WELL, WE ORDERED AND I GOT UP TO GO TO THE RESTROOM (WHEN LASEK CALLS I BETTER BE READY TO GO), I GOT IN THERE AND HAD UNZIPPED MY JUMPSUIT AND THE LIGHTS FLICKERED, I STARTED AND THEY WENT OUT, I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO STAND THERE TILL MY EYES GOT USED TO THE DARK OR HOPE THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON WHICH THEY DID! I WAS WASHING MY HANDS WHEN THEY WENT OUT AGAIN, I WASN’T SURE WHERE THE TOWEL RACK WAS SO I JUST STOOD THERE SHAKING WATER OFF MY HANDS WHEN THEY CAME BACK ON. I HURRIED OUT AND HEADED FOR OUR TABLE AND SAT DOWN THEN THEY BROUGHT OUR MEALS AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN BUT IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE SO WE COULD SEE TO START EATING WHEN THEY CAME BACK ON! MOM MOTIONED TO THE WINDOW AND I LOOKED AT IT, IT WAS SOLID GRAY, YOU COULDN’T EVEN SEE THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR, THEN IT QUIT AND WHEN WE WENT OUT TO GO TO THE CAR IT WAS ALMOST CLEAR BUT YOU COULD SEE IN THE EAST THE STORM THAT HAD JUST COME OVER, IT WAS DARK GRAY! WE LEFT AND THE CLOSER WE GOT TO HOME THE DRYER IT GOT, BY THE TIME WE GOT A MILE FROM THE HOUSE THE ROAD WAS BONE DRY, WE DIDN’T GET A DROP AT THE HOUSE! OH, WELL, MOM GOT OUT THE HOSE AND WATERED HER GARDEN!
PLANTING FLOWERS
A PRISONER IN JAIL RECEIVES A LETTER FROM HIS WIFE: “DEAR HUSBAND, I HAVE DECIDED TO PLANT SOME FLOWERS IN THE BACK GARDEN. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PLANT THEM?”
THE PRISONER, KNOWING THAT THE PRISON GUARDS READ ALL MAIL, REPLIED IN A LETTER: “DEAR WIFE, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT TOUCH THE BACK GARDEN. THAT IS WHERE I HID ALL THE MONEY.”
A WEEK OR SO LATER, HE RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER FROM HIS WIFE: “DEAR HUSBAND, YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED, SOME MEN CAME WITH SHOVELS TO THE HOUSE, AND DUG UP THE ENTIRE BACK GARDEN.”
THE PRISONER WROTE ANOTHER LETTER BACK: “DEAR WIFE; NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO PLANT THE FLOWER.”
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
