HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 7 VOL 12
JULY 7TH 2008
WEATHER; HOT, MED HUMIDITY, 72/97 DEGREES
WE WENT TO BONHAM VA THIS MORNING! I STARTED THE INTREPID AND HEADED OUT THE DRIVEWAY, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE OK! I TURNED DOWN THE ROAD TO GET TO WILLAFA WOODS RD. AND WHEN I STARTED UP THE HILL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE REPAIRED PLACE FROM THE FLOOD IT STARTED POPPING BACK THROUGH THE INTAKE, I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT WENT INTO PASSING GEAR! IT’S ALMOST LIKE IT DOESN’T KNOW IT’S ON A PULL AND DOESN’T DROP BACK INTO A LOWER GEAR, DIRTY FILTER AND BURNED FLUID! WHEN WE GOT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED OVER THE DAM I SET THE CRUISE AT 55 AND FROM THEN ON I NEVER HAD TO HIT PASSING GEAR ALL THE WAY TO BONHAM AND BACK TO SHERMAN, OVER 70 MILES, IT RAN BEAUTIFUL!
AFTER DOING WHAT WE HAD TO IN SHERMAN WE HEADED FOR DENISON TO PICK UP THE PARTS FOR THE ACCLAIM AND TAKE A TRANSFORMER MOM BOUGHT FOR THE SPECIAL PHONE THE VA GAVE ME, IT DIDN’T HELP A WHOLE LOT, BACK TO WAL-MART! I HAD TO JUST PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET UP TO SPEED, IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN’T BACK SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP! DIRTY FILTER AND BURNED FLUID! BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT RAN FINE! THIS PRETTY WELL SAYS THE SPEED SENSOR SEEMS TO BE WORKING OK AS WELL AS THE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND MAKES IT LOOK LIKE IF WE SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND PUT NEW FLUID IN IT THAT COULD VERY WELL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM! WE’LL DO THIS AFTER KELLY GETS THE ACCLAIM A/C FIXED WHICH HE’S WORKING ON NOW AND FROM WHAT MOM SAID HE ALREADY HAD THE DASHBOARD OUT SO HE’LL PROBABLY HAVE IT DONE BY WEDNESDAY! THEN MAYBE AFTER RESTING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS HE’LL DO THE TRANSMISSION IN THE INTREPID!
WE WENT TO THE SPRINT STORE AND THEY COULDN’T GET MOMS CELL PHONE TO TURN ON EITHER SO THEY GAVE HER A NEW ONE ONLY THIS ONE’S BLACK INSTEAD OF PINK SO SHE SAID SHE WOULD PUT SOME LITTLE STICKERS ON IT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HERS AND SHANNONS SINCE SHANNONS IS BLACK TOO!
DID YOU HEAR WHAT THE WINDSHIELD SAID TO THE BUG? “I’LL BET YOU DON’T HAVE THE GUTS TO TRY THAT AGAIN!”
DID YOU HEAR WHAT THE BUG SAID TO THE WINDSHIELD? “THAT’S ME ALL OVER!”
SCHOOL DAZE
A MOM AND DAD WERE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SON NOT WANTING TO LEARN MATH AT THE SCHOOL HE WAS IN, SO THEY DECIDED TO SEND HIM TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL. AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, THEIR SON COMES RACING INTO THE HOUSE, GOES STRAIGHT INTO HIS ROOM AND SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT. MOM AND DAD ARE A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THIS AND GO TO HIS ROOM TO SEE IF HE IS OKAY. THEY FIND HIM SITTING AT HIS DESK DOING HIS HOMEWORK.
THE BOY KEEPS DOING THAT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. AT THE END OF THE YEAR THE SON BRINGS HOME HIS REPORT CARD AND GIVES IT TO HIS MOM AND DAD. LOOKING AT IT THEY SEE UNDER MATH AN A+.
MOM AND DAD ARE VERY HAPPY AND ASK THE SON, "WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT LEARNING MATH?"
THE SON LOOKED AT MOM AND DAD AND SAID, "WELL, ON THE FIRST DAY WHEN I WALKED INTO THE CLASSROOM, I SAW A GUY NAILED TO THE PLUS SIGN AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM BEHIND THE TEACHER'S DESK AND I KNEW THEY MEANT BUSINESS."
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
