NUMBER 29 VOL 11

JUNE 29^TH 2008

WEATHER; WARM, LOW HUMIDITY, 66/88 DEGREES

 

WE TOOK THE ACCLAIM TO 8:00 MASS THIS MORNING AND THE A/C WAS WORKING FINE SO WE CUT IT OFF BECAUSE IT WAS NICE AND COOL OUTSIDE! AFTER MASS COLLEEN AND DICK INVITED US TO BREAKFAST WITH THEM AT “CRACKER BARRELL” AND WE ACCEPTED! WHEN WE HEADED HOME I TURNED ON THE A/C AND WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES HAD TO ADD A LITTLE OUTSIDE AIR TO THE COLD! IF THIS WILL ONLY KEEP UP WE’LL MAKE IT THOUGH THE SUMMER WITHOUT ANYMORE TROUBLE, WE HOPE!

 

KELLY IS GOING TO DRIVE THE INTREPID TO WORK ON MONDAY AND SEE IF HE CAN GET MIKE TO RIDE WITH HIM TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LOSS OF POWER ON A SLIGHT INCLINE!

 WHEN WE GOT HOME FROM CHURCH I STARTED THE INTREPID AND LET IT WARM UP, THEN SHUT IT OFF AND LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES AND OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE PATCH ON THE RADIATOR TANK END! NO LEAK SO, I’LL KEEP CHECKING IT  TO BE SURE SOMETHING DOESN’T CAUSE IT TO START LEAKING! THE J.B. WELD STICK EPOXY COST BETWEEN $3-$4.OO, THAT BEATS THE HELL OUT OF $113.86 INCLUDING TAX AND S&H THAT I FOUND ONE ON THE INTERNET FOR! WE MAY STILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT IF THE PATCH FAILS FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER!

 

I GO BACK TO THE VA TOMORROW AFTERNOON FOR ANOTHER SET OF AIDS! THEY’RE GOING BACK TO THE TYPE I HAD BEFORE THESE AUTOMATICS! WHEN WE WERE EATING BREAKFAST WITH COLLEEN AND DICK THIS MORNING, MOM HAD TO KEEP TELLING ME WHAT THEY WERE SAYING AND THAT’S NOT THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE! AND, I HAD TO LOOK AT MOM WHEN SHE TALKED TO ME!  IT GETS DOWN RIGHT EMBARRASSING SOME TIMES! I FEEL LIKE A BUMP ON A LOG! I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE HEARING HORN THEY USED IN THE EARLY DAYS, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WISH I HAD ONE, I CAN CUP MY HAND BEHIND MY EAR AND REALLY HEAR BETTER THAN WITH THE AID BUT MY ARM GETS TIRED AND IT DOESN’T LOOK VERY GOOD IN PUBLIC!

 

HERE’S ONE OF THE FIRST “DIRTY” JOKES I WAS TOLD WHEN I WAS ABOUT 8-9 YEARS OLD;

TWO HOBOS WERE WALKING DOWN A RAILROAD TRACK; ONE SAID TO THE OTHER, “DID YOU MESS IN YOUR PANTS? SOMETHING SURE SMELLS BAD”! “NOPE”, ANSWERED THE SECOND ONE! THEY WALKED A WHILE LONGER AND THE FIRST ONE REPEATED THE QUESTION BUT, ADDED, “ARE YOU SURE”? THE SECOND ONE GOT MAD AND SAID, “STOP RIGHT HERE AND I’LL PULL MY PANTS DOWN AND SHOW YOU”! HE UNDID HIS SUSPENDERS AND UNBUTTONED THE PANTS AND PULLED AND TUGGED FOR ALL HE WAS WORTH FINALLY GETTING THEM DOWN AND THE SMELL ALMOST KNOCKED THEM OVER “YOU LIAR, YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T MESS IN YOUR PANTS BUT JUST LOOK AT THE MESS!, YOU WALK BEHIND ME TILL WE GET TO WATER AND YOU CAN CLEAN UP” SAID THE FIRST ONE.

“I’M SORRY” SAID THE SECOND ONE!  “I THOUGHT YOU MEANT TODAY”!

 

THIS WAS TOLD TO ME AND BARRY AND BARBARA EVANS BY THEIR OLDER BROTHE PAUL! THERE WAS A BIG CASTER BEAN BUSH IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE WHERE WE USED TO HIDE AND SMOKE THE CASTERBEAN STEMS AND TELL WHAT WE THOUGHT WERE DIRTY JOKES! WE REALLY THOUGHT WE WERE TOUGH!

 

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
