I DIDN’T DO MUCH TODAY EXCEPT LOOK OVER THE OPERATION MANUAL FOR THE NEW RADIO TIM PUT IN THE INTREPID! THIS THING HAS GOT BUTTONS TO DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF AS FAR AS A CAR RADIO GOES! AND I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY SOMETHING WHEN THEY WENT FROM A ROUND DIAL YOU TURNED FOR STATIONS TO PUSH BUTTONS IN 1940! I STARTED THE INTREPID AND LET IT WARM UP WHICH IS A GOOD IDEA RATHER THAN LETTING IT SET. WE’RE PLANNING ON TAKING IT TO DALLAS TUESDAY FOR MY VA APPOINTMENT, THIS WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO SEE HOW IT’S GOING TO PERFORM ON THE ROAD AS FAR AS GAS MILEAGE GOES!
MOM MADE A BATCH OF SUGAR/BUTTER COOKIES TODAY USING HER “PASTA MAKER”, SHE’S GOT MORE KITCHEN MACHINES THAN I EVER HAD IN THE SHOP BUT, SHE USES ALL OF THEM FROM TIME TO TIME, NONE OF THEM JUST SET AND GATHER DUST!
I JUST FINISHE WATCHING “THE JUGGLER” WITH KIRK DOUGLAS! THIS IS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE AND I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY! IT TAKES PLACE IN ISRAEL AFTER WWII!
MIRACLE CAR
THE PARENTS OF TWO BOYS (14 AND 16 YEAR-OLDS) WENT ON A TRIP FOR THE WEEKEND WITH FRIENDS. THEY LEFT EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AND THE BOYS WERE LEFT ALONE AT HOME. THAT EVENING THE YOUNGER BOY MADE THE SUGGESTION THAT THEY TAKE THEIR DAD'S CAR, PICK UP SOME GIRLS AND GO TO THE LOCAL DISCO. THE 16 YEAR-OLD BOY COULD DRIVE A BIT BUT WAS TOO SCARED.
AFTER SOME NAGGING HE GAVE IN AND OFF THEY WENT TO ENJOY THE EVENING. WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO THE CAR AFTER A LOT OF DISCOTHEQUEING, THEY NOTICED A HUGE DENT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR - SOMEONE MUST HAVE BUMPED INTO THE CAR AND DROVE OFF.
FRANTICALLY THEY PHONED THEIR FRIENDS TO FIND A PANELBEATER/SPRAYPAINTER TO FIX THEIR DAD'S CAR. FINALLY THEY FOUND ONE WHO SAID THEY MUST HAVE THE CAR AT HIS HOUSE EARLY NEXT MORNING. THE CAR WAS FIXED PROPERLY AND THEY PARKED IT BACK IN THE GARAGE THAT AFTERNOON.
THEIR PARENTS RETURNED THE NEXT DAY BUT THE BOYS WERE TOO TERRIFIED TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. THE FATHER WENT TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE GARAGE, CAME BACK VERY AMAZED AND SAID TO THE FAMILY IN THE LOUNGE,
"A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED! A GUY DROVE INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR ON THURSDAY AND NOW IT IS FIXED WITHOUT A SCRATCH!"
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
