HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 23 VOL 12
JULY 23RD 2008
WEATHER; HOT, HIGH HUMIDITY, 74/99 DEGREES
BILL AND I WENT OUT TO JIM AND CONNIE HARMONS TODAY IN THE MOTOR HOME! I MADE A MISTAKE THE OTHER DAY WHEN I REPORTED THE NAME WAS “RIALTO”, IT’S ACTUALLY “REALTA” AND IS THE TOP OF THE LINE FROM WINNEBAGO!
HARMON HAS BUILT A NEW DEVICE TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE BIG TUBE HE HAD THAT YOU RODE A SLED TYPE OF PLATFORM INTO! THIS ONE IS A SERIES OF CIRCLES, 2” THICK BY 6” WIDE, THERE IS 37,000 FEET OF #22 COPPER WIRE WOUND IN EACH ONE OF THE CIRCLES!
I WENT INTO IT ON THE LITTLE FLAT CAR AND THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT I REMEMBER THE TUBE GIVING ME, THIS ONE WAS MORE POWERFUL AND WHEN I WENT IN I WAS HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF PAIN IN MY RIGHT KNEE AND HOPED I COULD GET HOME AND GET MY KNEE WRAP BEFORE IT WENT OUT! WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE DEVICE I DIDN’T HAVE ANY PAIN IN MY RIGHT KNEE!
WE GOT HOME AND PICKED UP MOM TO GO TO DINNER! WE WENT TO DUVHOUL’S (SP?). THEY’RE IN WHAT USED TO BE BESHIER’S JEWELRY STORE AND, NEXT TO THE OLD “STARDUST BALL ROOM” THAT MOM THE KIDS AND I BUILT OUT OF THE OLD “STATE” THEATER IN DOWNTOWN DENISON!
FROM THERE WE WENT OUT TO VISIT COLLEEN AND DICK, DICK TOOK BILL ON A “COOKS” TOUR OF HIS PROPERTY AND SHOWED HIM HIS AIRPLANES AND ALL THE CARS, NEW AND OLD HE HAS IN SOME OF THE BUILDINGS! WHEN THEY GOT BACK BILL SHOWED THEM SOME OF THE MAGIC TRICKS HE DOES FOR KIDS AND ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES! I’M NOT SURE BILL REALIZES JUST HOW GOOD HE IS AT THIS? ALL HE SAYS IS THAT HE LIKES TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD AND SEE THEM LAUGH WHICH THEY DO! HE DOESN’T JUST SHOW A MAGIC TRICK, HE BRINGS THE PEOPLE INTO THE ACT AND MAKES THEM A PART OF IT!
WE GOT HOME ABOUT 9:30 AND BILL SAID HE WAS GOING TO BED. HE’D BEEN UP SINCE 4AM STRAIGHTENING UP THE MOTOR HOME, MOVING THINGS TO WHERE THEY’LL BE HANDY FOR HIM WHILE DRIVING! I WAS HOPING HE’D STAY TILL SATURDAY BUT HE TOLD DICK AND I HE WOULD BE LEAVING THURSDAY MORNING! I HATE TO SEE HIM GO BUT I UNDERSTAND, HE ONLY BROUGHT ENOUGH OF HIS MEDICATION FOR 14 DAYS AND HAS TO BE HOME IN TIME TO GET MORE!
I HOPE SHANNON WILL GET OUT HERE TOMORROW TO VISIT WITH HIM! I KNOW SHE HAS TO TAKE ANOTHER SLEEP TEST AND HAVE HER FOOT LOOKED AT!
I’LL WAIT TILL AFTER BILL LEAVES TO DO ANYTHING ON THE INTREPID! I WANT TO GET THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL WORKING AND MAYBE PULL THE PLENAM AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE INJECTORS IS? IF I WANT THIS DONE I’M GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF! I’LL TAKE IT EASY AND STAY OUT OF THE SUN BY PULLING THE CAR DOWN UNDER THE CEDER TREE AND USE THE BIG UMBRELLA! IF I GET TIRED I’LL SET DOWN FOR A WHILE! I’M PRETTY SURE I CAN DO THIS BY BEING CAREFUL AND NOT OVERDOING IT! I’M NOT ON A TIME SCHEDUAL!
TRUTH IN YOUTH
A SMALL BOY WAS LOST, SO HE WENT UP TO A POLICEMAN AND SAID, "I'VE LOST MY DAD!"
THE COPPER SAID, "WHAT'S HE LIKE?"
THE LITTLE BOY REPLIED, "BEER AND FOOTBALL!"
GETTING USED TO IT
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT A NEW BRIDE WHO WAS A BIT EMBARRASSED TO BE KNOWN AS A HONEYMOONER. SO WHEN SHE AND HER HUSBAND PULLED UP TO THE HOTEL, SHE ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANY WAY THAT THEY COULD MAKE IT APPEAR THAT THEY HAD BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME.
HE RESPONDED, "SURE. YOU CARRY THE SUITCASES!"
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
