HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 1 VOL 13
AUGUST 1ST 2008
WEATHER; WARM, HIGH HUMIDITY, 75/99 DEGREES
OUR GAS PRICES ARE STILL DROPPING, I WASN’T IN TO TOWN TODAY BUT IF THEY HAD STARTED BACK UP MOM WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING I’M SURE!
ANOTHER SLOW, SLOW DAY! MOM HAD TO GO TO TOWN AND DO SOME BANKING AND SHOPPING! SHE BOUGHT A SET OF THREE GE PHONES! UNTILL I GET MY AMPLIFIED PHONE BACK FROM THE VA WE HAVE AN OLD WALK AROUND PHONE AND A HARD WIRED ONE TO USE! I CAN’T HEAR A THING ON THE WALK AROUND AND IF THERE’S NO BACKGROUND NOISE I CAN HEAR PRETTY GOOD ON THE HARD WIRED ONE! OF COURSE I HAVE MY CELL PHONE BUT THE BATTERY IS GETTING WEAK IN IT SO I DON’T USE IT MUCH!
THESE NEW PHONES MOM GOT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HEARING AID FRIENDLY BUT I WON’T BE ABLE TO FIND OUT TILL THE BATTERIES ARE ALL CHARGED FOR 16 HOURS IN THE NEW ONES!
WE WATCHED A GOOD MOVIE TONIGHT “A DAD FOR CHRISTMAS” IF YOU GET A CHANCE WATCH IT!
KELLY’S HURT SHOULDER IS A TORN LIGAMENT NOT THE ROTATOR CUFF! IT SEEMED TO BE GETTING BETTER WHEN I SAW HIM TODAY HE COULD PICK HIS ARM UP LEVEL BUT NOT OVER HIS HEAD! HE’S LUCKY IT WASN’T THE ROTATOR CUFF, THEY TAKE FOR EVER TO HEAL WITHOUT SURGERY THEN EVEN WITH SURGERY IT TAKES A LONG TIME!
GLENDA TOOK ONE OF HER GRANDAUGHTERS DOWN TO DFW TO CATCH A PLANE BACK HOME, SHE’S BEEN HERE ABOUT 5 WEEKS AND HAS TO GET HOME TO START SCHOOL IN AUGUST!
I’M STILL WAITING FOR KERRY TO REVIEW MY BOOK AND GET IT BACK TO ME SO I CAN MAKE ANY CHANGES HE RECOMMENDS!
WE HAVE A PUBLISHER IN SHERMAN, TEXAS THAT I NEED TO CALL TO FIND OUT WHAT THE BASIC COST TO PUBLISH A BOOK IS!
ABOUT 5-6 YEARS AGO I WAS TALKING TO HIM ABOUT DOING SOME ADVERTISING FOR OLE’ “POOR BOY CARTER” WHO I WAS DOING SOME WORK FOR! I HAD TOLD HIM ABOUT MY BOOK “FIRE IN THE TUBE” AND HE IMPLIED IF HE LOOKED IT OVER AND LIKED WHAT HE SAW AND THOUGHT IT WOULD SELL ENOUGH TO RECOVER PUBLISHING COST I WOULDN’T HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANY FRONT MONEY!
WELL, I NEVER GOT THE BOOK OVER TO HIM AND GAVE IT TO TIM TO PUT ON A DVD TO SEND TO LOU WATT TO SEE IF LOU WOULD WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT!
TIM GOT TO BUSY TO FINISH PUTTING IT ON THE DVD SO IT’S JUST SETTING AND NOW I HAVE 6 CHAPTERS FOR ANOTHER BOOK AND LOU WATT SUGGESTED I TAKE THEM TO THIS PUBLISHER IN SHERMAN, TEXAS AND SEE WHAT HE THINKS WHICH I’M GOING TO DO!
I GOT A CALL FROM BILL MASON THIS AFTERNOON TO LET ME KNOW HE HAD GOTTEN HOME OK! HE DID HAVE A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING, HIS BAD EYE KEPT WATERING AND HE EXPERIENCED “MICRO NAPPING!” ON ONE OCCASION HE EVIDENTLY WAS WEAVING OVER THE YELLOW LINE AND WOKE UP WHEN A TRUCK PASSED HIM, LUCKELY HE WAS AT AN EXIT SO HE PULLED OFF AND SLEPT FOR AN HOUR! FROM OUR PLACE TO HIS BROTHER-IN-LAWS IN SANTA FE NEW MEXICO IS AROUND 600 MILES, IT TOOK HIM A LITTLE OVER 12 HOURS WHICH WASN’T TOO BAD! THEN IT TOOK HIM 11 ½ HOURS TO GET TO LAUGHLIN, NEVADA. WHERE HE STAYED THERE FOR 3 ½ DAY ON THE HOUSE! FROM THERE TO HOME IS AROUND 350 MILES AND IT TOOK HIM 9 HOURS, HE HAD TO STOP EVERY SO OFTEN TO REST HIS EYE AND TRY TO GET AT LEAST A ½ HOUR SLEEP! WHEN HE USED TO TRAVEL IN HIS BIG MOTOR HOME HE DIDN’T HAVE A BAD EYE AND HE WAS 10 YEARS YOUNGER! I TOLD HIM TO ADVERTISE IN A ‘GOOD SAM” PAPER FOR A YOUNG PERSON TO TRAVEL WITH HIM TO SHARE THE DRIVING AND SOME OF THE EXPENSES! THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE AROUND 40-50 YEARS OLD WHO ARE SEMI-RETIRED AND CAN’T AFFORD A MOTOR HOME BUT WOULD BE WILLING TO GO WITH HIM TO SHARE THE DRIVING AND EXPENSES! IF HE FINDS SOMEONE ALL THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IS SUGGEST WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO AND IT WOULD BE OK WITH HIM! I’M SURE HE’LL WORK IT OUT HE JUST LOVES TO TRAVEL!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
