HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 1 VOL 12
JULY 1ST 2008
WEATHER; WARM, LOW HUMIDITY, 69/93 DEGREES
WHERE IN WORLD HAS HALF A YEAR GONE? THE NEXT HALF WILL BE GONE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT! AND THEN WE’LL HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT AND MORE HELP IN CONGRESS AND THE SENATE IF THINGS GO RIGHT! I’M STILL UNDECIDED ON WHERE MY VOTE IF I VOTE WILL GO! I’M SORRY; NO POLITICS!!!!!
MOM GOT HOME FROM TOWN AND THE A/C IN THE ACCLAIM HAD LOST ALL THE FREON! SHE CALLED KELLY AND EVIDENTLY HE AND MIKE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT AND DECIDED IT WAS THE EVAPORATOR COIL UNDER THE DASH BOARD! I CALLED MIKE AND I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE CONDENSER IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR, THAT A STONE MIGHT HAVE HIT IT BUT HE SAID A CAR WITH AS MANY MILES ON IT AS THE ACCLAIM HAS USUALLY DEVELOPS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR COIL FROM CORROSION BECAUSE IT SETS IN WATER THAT CONDENSES IN THE PAN IT SETS IN SO THE CONDENSATION DOESN’T LEAK IN ON THE CARPET! THERE’S WHAT THEY CALL A SLOBBER TUBE ON THE FIRE WALL UNDER THE HOOD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE WATER OUT OF THE PAN! HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED WHEN YOU STOP YOUR CAR ON A HOT HUMID DAY THAT AFTER A WHILE THERE’S A PUDDLE OF WATER UNDER IT ON PASSENGER SIDE, THAT’S FROM THE SLOBBER TUBE! IF YOU DON’T SEE WATER HAVE SOMEONE GRAB THE SLOBBER TUBE AND SQUEEZE IT TO! OPEN UP THE ENDV SO IT CAN LEAK THE WATER OUT! THE ONE IN THE ACCLAIM MUST WORK GOOD, THERE’S ALWAYS A BIG PUDDLE OF WATER UNDER THE CAR ON HOT HUMID DAYS!
I TOOK THE FLASH LIGHT OUT AFTER 8PM AND LOOKED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CONDENSER FOR SOME TRACE OF OIL RUNNING DOWN IT. AT FIRST I DIDN’T SEE IT BUT I FINALLY FOUND IT RIGHT IT THE MIDDLE OF THE COIL BEHIND THE HOOD LATCH BRACE BUT OFF TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WHERE A SMALL STONE COULD GET TO IT, IT STARTS OUT ABOUT 4” FROM THE TOP AND GETS WIDE AT THE BOTTOM, I TRACED IT BACK UP TO WHERE IT STARTS AND COULD SEE A SMALL SPECK OF SHINEY METAL BACK INSIDE THE FINS! THAT’S IT! MOM WENT DOWN AND GOT KELLY TO COME UP AND PUT A LITTLE FREON IN AND CHECK IT WITH THE ELECTRONIC SNIFFER! WE’RE OUT OF FREON SO, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND TURNED THE COMPRESSOR ON, IT CYCLED 2-3 TIMES, ENOUGH FOR THE SNIFFER TO PICK UP THE FREON! THIS IS EASIER AND BETTER THAN PULLING THE WHOLE DASHBOARD TO CHANGE THE EVAPORATOR COIL! I CALLED AUTO-ZONE AND THEY HAVE TO ORDER IT, $156.99, I CALLED O’REILYS, $148.99 AND THEY MUST ORDER IT TOO! IN THE MORNING I’LL CALL R&D TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ONE STILL ON A CAR THAT HAS FREON IN IT UNDER PRESSURE? IF THEY DO I’M SURE IT WILL BE CHEAPER THAT THE NEW ONE! I COULD PROBABLY FIX THE LEAK WITH J.B.STICK WELD EPOXY BUT IF I CAN GET ONE WITHOUT A LEAK I’D RATHER DO THAT! IF IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE I’LL TRY TO FIX IT!
EVERYBODY
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT FOUR PEOPLE NAMED EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, AND NOBODY.
THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT JOB TO BE DONE AND EVERYBODY WAS ASKED TO DO IT. EVERYBODY WAS SURE SOMEBODY WOULD DO IT. ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT NOBODY DID IT.
SOMEBODY GOT ANGRY ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE IT WAS EVERYBODY'S JOB. EVERYBODY THOUGHT ANYBODY COULD DO IT BUT NOBODY REALIZED THAT EVERYBODY WOULDN'T DO IT.
IT ENDED UP THAT EVERYBODY BLAMED SOMEBODY WHEN NOBODY DID WHAT ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE.
IN THE CONFESSION BOX
A DRUNKEN MAN STAGGERS IN TO A CATHOLIC CHURCH AND SITS DOWN IN A CONFESSION BOX AND SAYS NOTHING. THE BEWILDERED PRIEST COUGHS TO ATTRACT HIS ATTENTION, BUT STILL THE MAN SAYS NOTHING.
THE PRIEST THEN KNOCKS ON THE WALL THREE TIMES IN A FINAL ATTEMPT TO GET THE MAN TO SPEAK.
FINALLY, THE DRUNK REPLIES, "NO USE KNOCKING, THERE'S NO PAPER IN THIS ONE EITHER."
RULES OF WASHINGTON D.C.
- IF IT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR, IT'S WORTH FIGHTING DIRTY FOR.
- DON'T LIE, CHEAT OR STEAL...UNNECESSARILY.
- THERE IS ALWAYS ONE MORE SON OF A GUN THAN YOU COUNTED ON.
- AN HONEST ANSWER CAN GET YOU INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE.
- THE FACTS, ALTHOUGH INTERESTING, ARE IRRELEVANT.
- CHICKEN LITTLE ONLY HAS TO BE RIGHT ONCE.
- "NO" IS ONLY AN INTERIM RESPONSE.
- YOU CAN'T KILL A BAD IDEA.
- IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, DESTROY ALL EVIDENCE THAT YOU EVER TRIED.
- THE TRUTH IS A VARIABLE.
- A PORCUPINE WITH HIS QUILLS DOWN IN JUST ANOTHER FAT RODENT.
- YOU CAN AGREE WITH ANY CONCEPT OR NOTIONAL FUTURE OPTION, IN PRINCIPLE, BUT FIGHT IMPLEMENTATION EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
- A PROMISE IS NOT A GUARANTEE.
- IF YOU CAN'T COUNTER THE ARGUMENT, LEAVE THE MEETING.
THAT’S “30”FOR THIS ISSUE.
