HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 2 VOL 12
JULY 2ND 2008
WEATHER: HOT, HIGH HUMIDITY, 69/93 DEGREES
STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C IN THE ACCLAIM! WE THOUGHT WE FOUND THE LEAK IN THE CONDENSER COIL BUT THEN TODAY KELLY PUT MORE FREON IN AND SAID THE CONDENSER WASN’T LEAKING BUT THE EXPANSION VALVE WAS THEN HE FOUND THE GROUND WIRE OFF ON THE ELECTRONIC SNIFFER! HE’S GOING TO FIX THAT TOMORROW AND WE’LL GO BACK TO SQUARE ONE!
I’M GOING TO TAKE THE INTREPID OVER TO A-1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS TOMORROW AND HAVE THEM DRIVE IT AND TELL ME WHAT’S WRONG AND GIVE ME A PRICE ON FIXING IT! I’SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT A LONG TIME AGO!
IT SEEMS LIKE ALL I HAVE REPORTED FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS IS PROBLEMS WITH OUR CARS! THAT HAS SEEMED TO BE WHAT’S GOING ON IN OUR LIVES! I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER THINGS BUT THEY DON’T COME TO MIND WHEN I’M TRYING TO WRITE THE CHRONICLE!
KELLY TOOK THE OLD WORN OUT DISHWASHER OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND IT LEFT A BIG HOLE SO MOM DID SOME MEASURING AND WENT TO HOME DEPOT AND HAD 5/8TH PLYWOOD CUT TO FIT THE BOTTOM OF THE CABINET WHERE THE DISHWASHER WAS! TOMORROW I HAVE TO CUT SOME NOTCHES FOR WHERE THE UPRIGHTS ARE AND DRILL SOME HOLES TO SCREW THE PLYWOOD DOWN! MOM IS GOING TO COVER THE PLYWOOD WITH VINYL OR SHELF LINING! SHE’S PROVING ONE THING; SHE CAN DO A LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT SHE COULD!
WE’RE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE NEIGHBOR UP FRONT! ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO HE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND TOLD MOM THEIR WELL PUMP WEMT OUT AND HE ASKED IF HE COULD HOOK HIS HOSE UP TO OUR HYDRANT TO FILL A WASH TUB AND MOM TOLD HIM TO GO AHEAD! I WALKED OUT ON THE RAMP LAST SATURDAY AND HE WAS JUST TAKING HIS HOSE OFF THE HYDRANT, I THOUGHT HE HAD ASKED MOM AGAIN BUT SHE SAID NO! TODAY, MOM WAS WATERING WITH THE LITTLE TRAVELING TRACTOR AND NOTICED IT HAD QUIT SPRINKLING SO SHE WENT OUT TO THE HYDRANT TO SEE WHY AND BOTH OF OUR HOSES WERE DISCONNECTED AND LYING ON THE GROUND, HIS WAS HOOKED UP! MOM TOOK HIS LOSE AND THREW IT UP ON HIS LAWN AND HOOKED OURS BACK UP! TOMORROW I’M GOING TO SHUT THE WATER OFF AND PUT A PADLOCK ON THE HYDRANT! IT’S ONE THAT DRAINS BACK WHEN YOU SHUT IT OFF FOR WINTER AND IT HAS A PLACE FOR A PADLOCK! WE NEVER THOUGHT WE’D HAVE TO LOCK UP OUR WATER! SOME PEOPLE REALLY HAVE A LOT OF NERVE!
I’M GOING TO SEE IF HE INTENDS TO FIX OR REPLACE HIS WELL PUMP OR HOOK UP TO THE LOCAL WATER COMPANY! MIKE AND I USED TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT IS HIS WELL, WE’VE REPLACED THE PUMP, BLACK PLASTIC PIPE AND FIXED BROKEN WIRES TO KEEP IT WORKING! I DON’T THINK HE’S EVEN PULLED THE PUMP TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED! WHAT WE AND KELLY USE I KNOW WE DON’T WANT TO SUPPLY ANOTHER FAMILY EVEN IF THEY WANT TO PAY, LET THEM HOOK INTO THE LOCAL WATER COMPANY!
I REALLY DUG DEEP TO REMEMBER HIS JOKE! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!
A LITTLE MOUSE WAKLED UP TO AN EAGLE SETTING ON A DEAD TREE BRANCH AND SAID; “MR EAGLE YOU FLY REALLY HIGH AND CAN SEE FOR A LONG WAY DON’T YOU?”
“YES I DO ANSWERED THE EAGLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FOR A RIDE WITH ME SOMEDAY?”
“HOW ABOUT RIGHT NOW TODAY” SAID THE MOUSE EXCITEDLY
“OK TODAY ANSWERED THE EAGLE NOW WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO RIDE THAT WILL BE SAFE!” SAID THE EAGLE
“LETS SEE, YOU MIGHT SLIP OFF MY BACK AND IF I HELD YOU IN MY CLAWS I MIGHT HURT YOU, THEY’RE REALLY SHARP!” SAYS THE EAGLE
“THE ONLY PLACE I CAN THINK OF IS UP MY BUTT, IF YOU CLIMB IN AND TURN AROUND AND STICK YOUR HEAD OUT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO SEE FOR MILES AND MILES!” SAID THE EAGLE
SO THE LITTLE MOUSE CLIMBS IN THE BIG EAGLES BUTT, TURNS AROUND AND STICKS HIS HEAD OUT!
“ARE YOU READY?” ASKS THE EAGLE
“YES SIR LETS GO!” SAYS THE MOUSE
SO THE BIG EAGLE AND THE MOUSE TOOK OFF AND STARTED CIRCLING AND GETTING HIGHER AND HIGHER! WHEN THEY WERE ABOUT 5 MILES UP THE EAGLE ASKED THE MOUSE IF HE WAS ENJOYING THE RIDE AND COULD HE SEE AS FAR AS HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TOO?
OH YES SIR, SAID THE MOUSE
“CAN YOU GO ANY HIGHER?” ASKED THE MOUSE
“SURE LETS GO UP ANOTHER 2 MILES AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT?” SAYS THE EAGLE
“OK WE’RE 7 MILES UP, WHAT DO YOU THINK?” ASKED THE EAGLE
“7 MILES UP “ASKED THE MOUSE
YEP, 7 MILES UP” ANSWERED THE EAGLE
“YOU WOULDN’T SHIT ME NOW WOULD YOU MR EAGLE, US BEING FRIENDS AND ALL” SAID THE MOUSE
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
