HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 26 VOL 13
TUESDAY AUGUST 26TH 2008
WEATHER; WARM, HIGH HUMIDITY, 70/92 DEGREES
WENT OUT THIS MORNING AND PULLED THE MAP SENSOR OFF THE ENGINE OF THE INTREPID! I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE IT SCREWS INTO THE REAR OF THE PLENEM AND DOESN’T HAVE ANY HOSE BUT, IT HAS A WIRING HOOK UP! I SUCKED ON THE END THAT SCREWS INTO THE PLENEM AND IT HELD VACUUM ON MY TONGUE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES! NO PROBLEM THERE UNLESS IT GOT BUMPED WITH ALL THE MOVING AROUND THE PLENEM HAS HAD AND CRACKED THE PLASTIC TUBE THAT SCREWS INTO THE REAR OF THE PLENEM CAUSING A HIGH VACUUM LEAK! I HAVE NO WAY OF CHECKING FOR THIS OTHER THAN SPRAYING WD-40 ON THE THREADS WHEN I START IT OR REPLACING THE ENTIRE SENSOR; NEW $80.00, USED I DON’T KNOW YET!
MOM HAD TO GO TAKE SHANNON FOR A CHECK UP ON HER SURGERY AND WILL HAVE TO GO TAKE HER AGAIN TOMORROW!
I TALKED TO THE AUDIOLOGY DEPT TODAY ABOUT MY AMPLIFIED PHONE AND THEY SAID MY NEW REPLACEMENT WOULD BE MAILED TO ME THIS WEEK! I’VE HEARD THAT BEFORE BUT, WE’LL SEE!
I ALSO TALKED TO THE PHYSICAL THREAPIST ABOUT THE STUDY I’M DOING ON THE “COMFORT LIFT PILLOW” I’VE BEEN USING FOR THE LAST 3 NIGHTS TO CORRECT MY SLEEP APNEA! SO FAR IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING, MOM HASN’T HAD TO POKE ME TO ROLL OVER ANYMORE BECAUSE OF MY HEAVY BREATHING AND THE FACT THAT I STOP BREATHING WHICH WAKES HER UP! WHEN ISTART BREATHING AGAIN SHE GOES BACK TO SLEEP! THIS ISN’T ANY GOOD IT KEEPS HER AWAKE WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN! IF THE “COMFORT LIFT PILLOW” IS THE ANSWER I’M GOING TO RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE I KNOW WITH SLEEP APNEA!
I TALKED TO COLLEEN TODAY AND SHE AND DICK WENT DOWN NEAR FORT HOOD TO LOOK AT SOME ARMY TRUCKS ON SUNDAY! NO I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!
THIS MAN IN A NEW CADILLAC CONVERTIBLE PULLED INTO A TEXACO STATION ON THE WAY TO NEW ORLEANS! A YOUNG BLACK KID IN A TEXACO UNIFORM CAME OUT AND ASKED IF HE COULD HELP HIM! YES, FILL IT UP WITH PREMIUM AND CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND DON’T FORGET THE WINDSHIELD! THE MAN THEN WENT TO THE CAFÉ NEXT DOOR TO THE STATION FOR A CUP OF COFFEE! WHEN HE CAME OUT HE HANDED THE KID HIS CREDIT CARD AND WAITED TO SIGN IT! WHEN THE KID BROUGHT THE CLIP BOARD OUT WITH THE CEDIT CARD COPIES AND THE CARD ON IT HE SIGNED IT AND HANDED THE CLIP BOARD BACK TO THE KID! THE KID STARTED ASKING HIM ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR AND THE MAN ANSWERED THEM THEN PULLED A HAND FULL OF CHANGE OUT OF HIS POCKET AND STARTED PICKING ALL THE GOLF “Ts” OUT BEFORE HANDING THE CHANGE TO HIM! THE KID ASKED WHAT THOSE WERE, POINTING TO THE GOLF “Ts” AND THE MAN TOLD HIM THOSE ARE WHAT I PUT MY BALLS ON AND THE KIDS EYES GOT REAL BIG AND HE SAID; WOW MISTER, THESE NEW CADILLACS REALLY DO HAVE EVERYTHING, DON’T THEY?
LAWYER DAD
TWO SMALL BOYS, NOT YET OLD ENOUGH TO BE IN SCHOOL, WERE OVERHEARD TALKING AT THE ZOO ONE DAY.
"MY NAME IS BILLY. WHAT'S YOURS?" ASKED THE FIRST BOY
"TOMMY," REPLIED THE SECOND. "MY DADDY'S AN ACCOUNTANT. WHAT DOES YOUR DADDY DO FOR A LIVING?" ASKED BILLY
TOMMY REPLIED, "MY DADDY'S A LAWYER."
"HONEST?" ASKED BILLY
"NO, JUST THE REGULAR KIND", REPLIED TOMMY.
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
