BILL MASON LEFT THIS MORNING AFTER SPENDING 3 DAYS WITH US! THAT SURE IS A REAL NICE MOTORHOME HE BOUGHT, IT LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW AND ONLY 54,000 MILES ON IT IT’S A 2002! COMING OUT HERE HE GOT 13-19 MPG. HE THINKS THE 13 WAS WHEN HE HAD TO PUT 87 OCTANE IN BECAUSE HE COULDN’T FIND 91! THE BOOK SAYS IT WILL GET 17-21 USING 91 OCTANE BUT HE HAS A HARD TIME FINDING 91 OCTANE ON THE ROAD WHEN IT’S TIME TO FUEL UP! I SUGGESTED HE FILL UP WHEN THE GAGE SHOWS ½ A TANK! WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL GETS BELOW ¾ IT STARTS MIXING ALL THE TRASH IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK BECAUSE IT’S SLOSHING AROUND MORE! WITH ½ A TANK THE SEDIMENT PRETTY WELL STAYS PUT!

HE’S PLANNING TO BE BACK FOR A LONGER VISIT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR THEN WE’LL GO VISITING ALL THE KIDS AND FRIENDS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CRAM TWO WEEKS VISITING INTO 3 DAYS! HE’S TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO TRAVEL WITH HIM AS A COMPANION, HE SAID THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN THE GROUP HE RUNS WITH FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT ONE OF THEM COULD BE INTERESTED!

 

THE MILEAGE IN THE ACCLAIM DROPPED FROM 22-23 TO 19.7 WITH THE LAST 2-3 FILL UPS, I CHECKED EVERYTHING OVER THIS MORNING AND FOUND THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS DOWN TO 30-31 LBS., I ALWAYS KEEP 35 IN THEM AND IT NEEDS AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE! KELLY IS GOING TO BRING THE TIRES UP TO 35 AND ADD A LITTLE FREON TO THE A/C, HE SAID WHEN HE GOT DONE DOING THE EVAPERATOR COIL AND HEATER CORE HE MAY HAVE TO PUT A LITTLE MORE FREON IN, IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE TO LONG TO START COOLING SO I ASKED HIM TO ADD WHAT WAS LEFT IN THE CAN! TOMORROW I’LL ASK MOM TO HELP ME CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS FROM THE INTREPID TO THE ACCLAIM, I JUST PUT “BOSCH4s IN THE INTREPID AND SINCE WE’RE GOING TO BE DRIVING THE ACCLAIM TILL WE DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THE INTREPID I FIGURED WE’D GIVE THE ACCLAIM THE ADVANTAGE OF THE BOSCH PLUGS AND THE ONES IN THE ACCLAIM HAVE BEEN IN THERE FOR OVER 15,000 MILES AND NEED CHANGING ANYHOW! THE BOSCH 4s WILL INCREASE POWER AND GAS MILEAGE ACCORDING TO THE ADVERTISEMENTS! THEY NEVER GOT A REAL CHANCE IN THE INTREPID SO WE’LL SEE HOW THE ACCLAIM DOES WITH THEM!

 

THE VOICE

A MAN WAS WALKING IN THE STREET WHEN HE HEARD A VOICE. "STOP! STAND STILL! IF YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP, A BRICK WILL FALL DOWN ON YOUR HEAD AND KILL YOU." THE MAN STOPPED AND A BIG BRICK FELL RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. THE MAN WAS ASTONISHED.

HE WENT ON, AND AFTER AWHILE HE WAS GOING TO CROSS THE ROAD. ONCE AGAIN THE VOICE SHOUTED: "STOP! STAND STILL! IF YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP A CAR WILL RUN OVER YOU AND YOU WILL DIE." THE MAN DID AS HE WAS INSTRUCTED, JUST AS A CAR CAME CAREENING AROUND THE CORNER, BARELY MISSING HIM.

"WHERE ARE YOU?" THE MAN ASKED. "WHO ARE YOU?"

"I AM YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL," THE VOICE ANSWERED.

"OH YEAH?" THE MAN ASKED. "AND WHERE THE HECK WERE YOU WHEN I GOT MARRIED?"

 

A PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION

ONE DAY, ADAM SAT OUTSIDE THE GARDEN OF EDEN SHORTLY AFTER EATING THE APPLE, AND WONDERED ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN. SO LOOKING UP TO THE HEAVENS HE SAID, "EXCUSE ME GOD, CAN I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS?"

GOD REPLIED, "GO ON ADAM BUT BE QUICK. I HAVE A WORLD TO CREATE."

SO ADAM SAYS, "WHEN YOU CREATED EVE, WHY DID YOU MAKE HER BODY SO CURVED AND TENDER UNLIKE MINE?"

"I DID THAT, ADAM, SO THAT YOU COULD LOVE HER."

"OH, WELL THEN, WHY DID YOU GIVE HER LONG, SHINY, BEAUTIFUL HAIR, AND NOT ME?"

"I DID THAT ADAM SO THAT YOU COULD LOVE HER."

"OH, WELL THEN, WHY DID YOU MAKE HER SO STUPID CERTAINLY NOT SO THAT I COULD LOVE HER"

"WELL, ADAM NO. I DID THAT SO THAT SHE COULD LOVE YOU."

 

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
