HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 16 VOL 10
MAY 16TH 2008
WEATHER; NICE, LOW HUMIDITY, 50/77 DEGREES
MOM AND I WORKED STRAIGHTENING UP THE DECK TODAY I PUT UP 4 HOME MADE FLOWER POT HOLDERS ON 4 OF THE 4X4 POST THAT SUPPORTS THE ROOF! MOM BROUGHT THE GLASS TOP TABLE BACK OUT AND WE GOT READY TO PUT THE MARBLE TOPPED ROUND TABLE BACK IN THE DINNING AREA! WHEN WE MOVED IT OUT WE COVERED IT WITH A PLASTIC COVER BUT IT LEAKED AND THE OUTSIDE MOULDING SEPERATED WHERE IT’S DOWLED AND PUT TOGETHER, WE HOPE WHEN IT REALLY DRIES OUT IT’LL GO BACK TOGETHER! IF IT DOESTN’T I’LL USE A PIPE CLAMP OR RATCHETING TIE DOWN STRAPS TO PULL IT BACK INTO SHAPE!
AFTER 2PM WE WENT TO TOWN AND PICKED UP SOME GROCERIES AND TO AUTO-ZONE TO GET THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, I TOOK THE OLD ONE OFF AND WAS TRYING TO GET THE NEW ONE INSTALLED BUT I JUST DON’T HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH IN MY HANDS SO MOM TRIED TO START THE 5/16TH HOLD DOWN BOLT BUT SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SO KELLY FINISHED THE JOB! I TOOK THE CAR OUT AND ROAD TESTED IT FROM 0 TO 90 MPH, NOT A BOBBLE, EVERYTHING IS WORKING GOOD, I JUST WONDER HOW LONG THE OLD REGULATOR HAD BEEN LEAKING? IT NEVER SQUIRTED GAS WHEN I REMOVED THE VACUMM LINE AND RAN THE ENGINE BUT WHEN I LEFT THE LINE ON AND PULLED IT AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR AT LEAST A TEA SPOON OF GAS RAN OUT. NOW WE CAN TAKE THE EGR VALVE ASSY. BACK FOR A REFUND AND PICK UP A SET OF HUB CAPS!
THE NEXT THING WILL BE THE STRUTS, SHOCKS AND SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION, WE’VE PUT 175 MILES ON IT SINCE THIS TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN SO NOW I THINK IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE FILTER AND FLUID!
I TALKED TO TIM TODAY AND HE SAID THE PLUMBER UNPLUGGED THE SEWER LINE, THEY FOUND A SOFT PLUG THAT WENT ON THROUGH WHEN THEY BROKE IT LOSE! THEN THEY WERE USING A SPECIAL TOOL ON THEIR AUGAR THAT WAS CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE PIPE WHEN ONE OF THE BLADES GOT JAMMED IN THE WALL OF THE PIPE AND BROKE OFF THE TOOL HEAD. NOW THEY’RE GOING TO TEAR UP THE KITCHEN, HALL AND LINNEN CLOSET FLOORS TO GET THIS BLADE OUT THEN REPLACE ABOUT 12 FEET OF PIPE! THE PLUMBER TOLD TIM HE DIDN’T WANT ANY SOLID WASTE GOING IN THE PIPE AND IF NECESSARY THEY’RE TO USE THE MASTER BATHROOM WHICH EVIDENTLY BY PASSES THE PART WHERE THE BLADE IS STUCK! TIM SAID THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO PUT THEM UP IN A LOCAL HOTEL WHILE THIS IS DONE, ABOUT 3-4 DAYS!
I TALKED TO MY BROTHER JERRY TODAY AND ALSO LAST NIGHT, EVERYTHING OK OUT NEVADA WAY, HE SAID THEY HAD A BIG BAR-B-QUE ON SATURDAY IN HONOR OF MOTHERS DAY AND SOME OF HIS KIDS SHOWED UP! A MAHONEY NEVER MISSES OUT ON FREE FOOD, RIGHT JERRY? HE ALSO SAID THEY ARE EXPECTING 97 DEGREES TOMORROW WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR!
WE SURE ARE GLAD WE STILL HAVE THE PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM, WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INTREPID WE WOULD HAVE BEEN GROUNDED WITHOUT IT! MOM SAY WE’RE GOING TO KEEP IT FOR A WHILE THEN PROBABLY SELL IT TO A RELATIVE, IT’S TO GOOD OF A CAR TO JUST SELL TO SOMEONE WHO WON’T APPRECIATE OR TAKE CARE OF IT! KELLY WILL CHANGE THE SEAL IN THE OIL PUMP AND SEE ABOUT FINDING THE LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING HOSES OR PUMP, I HAVE TO FILL IT EVERY 3-4 WEEKS SO IT’S NOT A BAD LEAK BUT, PROBABLY IN THE RETURN LINE OR THE PUMP IT SELF, MAYBE A SEAL?
RECENT QUIPS FROM LATE NIGHT
"I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS. WE JUST PASSED A BIG MILESTONE YESTERDAY. TRUE STORY YESTERDAY WAS THE FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S SPEECH IN FRONT OF THE 'MISSION ACCOMPLISHED' BANNER. YEAH, TO CELEBRATE, TODAY, PRESIDENT BUSH GAVE A SPEECH IN FRONT OF A BANNER THAT SAID 'ECONOMIC RECESSION OVER.'" --CONAN O'BRIEN
"ACCORDING TO THE LATEST CNN POLL, PRESIDENT BUSH'S DISAPPROVAL RATING IS 71%. 71%. THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE, ISN'T IT? THAT 29% STILL APPROVE? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?" --JAY LENO
"IN ZIMBABWE, PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE HAS LOST THE ELECTION, BUT HE REFUSES TO STEP DOWN, SAYING HE STILL HAS A CHANCE TO WIN. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH, MUGABE SAID HE GOT THIS IDEA FROM HILLARY CLINTON. APPARENTLY, IT'S A GOOD IDEA." --CONAN O'BRIEN
"BECAUSE OF WHERE JOHN MCCAIN WAS BORN, HE WAS BORN IN THE PANAMA CANAL ZONE, YOU KNOW, NOT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE WAS A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER HE COULD LEGALLY BECOME PRESIDENT. YOU HAVE TO BE BORN HERE TO BECOME PRESIDENT. WELL, THIS WEEK, THE SENATE DECLARED MCCAIN IS ELIGIBLE TO BECOME PRESIDENT, AND LISTEN TO THIS, BECAUSE OF HIS AGE, ALSO ELIGIBLE TO BE A GREETER AT WAL-MART. SO THAT WORKED OUT GREAT FOR HIM." --JAY LENO
"SPEAKING OF HILLARY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THIS. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW IS FOOTAGE OF HILLARY CLINTON TRYING TO MAKE HERSELF A CUP OF COFFEE, BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE MACHINE TO WORK. YEAH, WHEN HE SAW THE VIDEO, BILL CLINTON SAID, 'YEAH, SHE'S NOT VERY GOOD AT TURNING THINGS ON.'" --CONAN O'BRIEN
"A FEDERAL STUDY RELEASED TODAY SHOWS THAT PRESIDENT BUSH'S $1 BILLION-A-YEAR 'READING FIRST' PROGRAM HAS DONE NOTHING TO INCREASE THE READING SKILLS OF YOUNG STUDENTS. HOWEVER, HIS 'OIL COMPANY FIRST' PROGRAM IS GOING LIKE GANGBUSTERS." --JAY LENO
THIS IS FROM ME; I HEARD TODAY THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T WANT TO STOP PUTTING OIL INTO THE RESERVES TILL AUGUST! THEN IT WAS REPORTED THE RESERVES ARE ALREADY 95-97 % FULL! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED THE HELP NOW TO WARD OFF THE POSSIBLE $4.00s A GALLON FOR GAS OR $4.28 A GALLON FOR DIESEL! UNLESS CONGRESS STOPS BUSH AND CHENEY BY IMPEACHING THEM BOTH THEY’RE GOING TO BANKRUPT OUR COUNTRY! REMEMBER THERE’S ONLY A LITTLE TIME LEFT TO ACCOMPLISH THIS! THEN, AFTER WHAT HE SAID ABOUT “APPEASING” HAMAS AND COMPARED IT TO WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT “APPEASING” HITLER BEFORE WWII STARTED! THIS WAS SAID IN FRONT OF THE GROUP OF JEWS WHO KEEP THE HOLOCAST RECORDS! WHAT MORE CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A MAN WHO ONLY HAS AN 80 I.Q.?
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
HOWARD
