HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE

NUMBER 17 VOL 11

JUNE 17^TH 2008

WEATHER; WARM, LOW HUMIDITY, 64/77 DEGREES

WE GOT ABOUT 1 ½ INCHES OF RAIN OVERNIGHT AND ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP GETTING RAIN TILL SATURDAY NIGHT, WE SURE NEED IT!

IT WAS A YEAR AGO THE 18^TH OF JUNE WHEN WE STARTED GETTING ALL THE RAIN THAT CAUSED THE LAKE TO GO OVER THE SPILLWAY AT 640 FT ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND THAT’S WHEN OUR ROAD GOT FLOODED WITH 15 FT OF WATER SO WE HAD TO GO IN AND OUT THE OLD PEANUT/HAY FIELD! IT COST US FOUR NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT! SO FAR THE LAKE IS STAYING AROUND 618 FT WHICH IS NEAR NORMAL POWER POOL!

THOSE POOR PEOPLE IN WISCONSIN, IOWA, MINNESOTA, KANSAS ARE REALLY HAVING THEIR SHARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE LEVEES AND DAMS BREAKING! WE HAVE GONE TO THE WISCONSIN DELLS 2-3 TIMES WHEN WE GO UP FOR LILLIANS FAMILY’S REUNION! WE WON’T BE MAKING THE REUNION THIS YEAR AND IF WE DID THERE’S NO MORE DELLS, THE DAM THAT FORMED THE BIG LAKE THERE BROKE AND EVERYTHING WENT DOWN THE RIVER! THEY HOPE TO HAVE EVERYTHING BACK WORKING BY NEXT YEAR! THEY SAID THEY WOULDN’T REBUILD THE DAM TILL AFTER THE SEASON BECAUSE THEY’RE BRINGING IN OTHER INTERTAINMENT BUT WOULDN’T HAVE THE BOATS THAT TAKE PEOPLE UP THE RIVER TO ALL SORTS OF ATTRACTIONS WHICH ALSO HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY!

I TALKED TO BILL MASON TODAY AND HE’S STILL PLANNING ON VISITING US IN JULY SO WE’LL HAVE TO HAVE SOMEPLACE FOR HIM TO SLEEP! I’LL SEE IF KELLY HAS ROOM DOWN THERE OR WE’LL HAVE A NEW SMALL HIDE-A-BED IN THE LIVING ROOM! HE’S GOING TO DRIVE AND PLANS ON A 2-3 DAY TRIP! HE’S GOT A FAIRLY NEW TOYOTA CAMREY SO HE SHOULDN’T HAVE ANY TROUBLE! OR HE BUYS ONE OF THE MINI MOTOR HOMES HE’S BEEN LOOKING AT WHICH IS REALLY WHAT HE WANT FOR TRAVELING! I SENT HIM THE PICTURE OF ME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE OVER 1 YEAR OLD WEARING A “BEACH PATROL” TANK TOP AND ASKED HIM TO FIND THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE TV SERIES AND SHOW THEM THE PICTURE, I’M THE ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE “BEACH PATROL”! I ALSO ASKED HIM TO GO TO CHAR MILLIGANS AND SHOW HER HOW TO PUT PAPER IN HER FAX MACHINE WHICH HE SAID HE WOULD DO, HE WORKS DOWN IN THAT AREA ON MOVIES OCCASIONALLY!

HE SAID HE WENT AND SIGNED THE FINAL DIVORCE PAPERS TODAY SO HE’S SHED OF LEONA FOR GOOD, NOW HE CAN GET ON WITH HIS LIFE, SHE’S REALLY HAD HIM SCREWED UP SINCE SHE MOVED OUT OF HIS HOUSE AND FORGED PAPERS AND TRIED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM!

WE’VE LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR THE “AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR” ON THE INTREPID AND HAVEN’T FOUND IT YET! THE BOOK SHOWS IT ON THE BACK OF THE INTAKE PLENUM BUT WHERE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE IS WHERE THE VACUMM HOSE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS HOOKED UP! MY GUESS IS WE’LL FIND IT UNDER THE PLENUM! IT’S SHOWN IN THE VALLEY UNDER THE INTAKE OF THE 3.5L ENGINE SO THAT’S WHERE WE’LL TRY TO FIND IT! THE LOCATION SHOWN IN THE MANUAL FOR THE 3.3L ENGINE COULD BE A MIS-PRINT! WE’LL SEE!

HERE’S A CUTE JOKE FROM ACARMAX

ADVERTISING CLAIMS

TWO LITTLE BOYS GO INTO THE GROCERY STORE. ONE IS NINE, ONE IS FOUR. THE NINE YEAR OLD GRABS A BOX OF TAMPONS FROM THE SHELF AND CARRIES IT TO THE REGISTER FOR CHECK-OUT.

THE CASHIER ASKS "OH, THESE MUST BE FOR YOUR MOM, HUH?"

THE NINE YEAR OLD REPLIES "NOPE NOT FOR MY MOM."

WITHOUT THINKING, THE CASHIER RESPONDED "WELL, THEY MUST BE FOR YOUR SISTER THEN?"

THE NINE YEAR OLD QUIPPED, "NOPE, NOT FOR MY SISTER EITHER."

THE CASHIER HAD NOW BECOME CURIOUS "OH. NOT FOR YOUR MOM AND NOT FOR YOUR SISTER, WHO ARE THEY FOR?"

THE NINE YEAR OLD SAYS "THEY'RE FOR MY FOUR YEAR OLD LITTLE BROTHER."

THE CASHIER IS SURPRISED "YOUR FOUR YEAR OLD LITTLE BROTHER??"

THE NINE YEAR OLD EXPLAINS: "WELL YEAH, THEY SAY ON TV IF YOU WEAR ONE OF THESE YOU CAN SWIM OR RIDE A BIKE AND MY LITTLE BROTHER CAN'T DO EITHER OF THEM!"

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
