HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 4 VOL 14
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH 2008
WEATHER; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 65/75 DEGREES
BOY, WHAT A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER! IT’S ALL COMING FROM HURRICANE GUSTAV; OF COURSE WE’RE JUST GETTING THE EFFECTS OF THE OUTER WINDS AND JUST A TINY BIT OF RAIN! THEY HAD PREDICTED A MASSIVE RAIN STORM OF UP TO 20 INCHES BUT THAT’S PETERED OUT!
I WENT OUT AND CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAD VACUUM AT ALL THE POINTS IT SHOULD BE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTREPID TO WORK AND I DID, 19.6 INCHES AT ALL POINTS! THE ONLY THING LEFT TO CHECK IS IF THE SERVO WILL HOLD VACUUM WHICH IS NECESSARY SO THE CRUISE CAN KEEP WORKING DURING ACCELERATION WHICH IS WHEN THE VACUUM IN THE ENGINE UNDER THE THROTTLE PLATES DROPS TO NEAR NOTHING! THERE IS A VACUUM RESERVOIR IN THE SYSTEM BUT IF THE SERVO CAN’T HOLD VACUUM IT’S OF NO VALUE! WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE CRUISE TO QUIT JUST LIKE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, HITTING THE ON/OFF BUTTON OR LIKE GOING UP A HILL, THIS IS WHEN THE CRUISE EVIDENTLY STOPS WORKING AND LETS THE ENGINE SLOW DOWN TILL I GO INTO PASSING GEAR! IF THE SERVO ISN’T HOLDING VACUUM I’LL GO TO R&D AND GET ONE THAT WILL, I CAN CHECK IT RIGHT ON THEIR COUNTER BY SUCKING ON THE FITTING AND STICKING MY TONGUE TO THE END OF THE PIPE! IF THE SERVO IS WORKING AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT I’LL HAVE TO LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! I’M PRETTY SURE THE ELECTRONICS IS WORKING SINCE ON A FLAT ROAD AND I PUT IT IN CRUISE I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE OR HIT THE ON/OFF SWITCH TO COME OFF CRUISE WHEN COMING UP BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE! THIS ALL POINTS TO THE LACK OF VACUUM!
I KNOW, I’VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INTREPID AND WHAT I’VE TRIED TO DO TO CORRECT THEM! EVERYTHING I DO BRINGS ME CLOSER TO THE MAIN PROBLEM! MY SON TIM READS THE CHRONICLE AND HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON IT WITH ME! IF HE HAS A SUGGESTION HE’LL EITHER E-MAIL OR CALL ME! THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM COULD BE IT SO, PLEASE BARE WITH ME!
MOM HAS TO GO HELP SHANNON IN THE MORNING, SHE’S HAVING ANOTHER INSPECTION TO SEE IF SHE’S GOING TO KEEP KONNER! I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’D FIND SOME ONE TO GIVE HIM MORE LOVE AND ATTENTION THAN SHANNON!
KELLYS LITTLE DOG MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE 35% CHANCE WENT TO 85% FOR ITS RECOVERY! I DUG AROUND AND FOUND SOME 22 MAGNUM ROUNDS BUT I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’LL CHAMBER IN MOMS RIFLE, IT SHOOTS 22 LONG RIFLE ONLY AND IT’S A SEMI-AUTOMATIC! IT’LL EMPTY THE 16 ROUND TUBE MAGAZINE IN ABOUT 20 SECONDS! THE MAGNUM WOULD BE A SURE KILL! THE SHERIFF SUGGESTED THEY TAKE THE LADY TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND TRY TO RECOVER THEIR MONEY WHICH WE WERE TOLD TODAY COULD GO OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS BEFORE THE DOG IS COMPLETELY RECOVERED! WE DON’T KNOW ANY OKLAHOMA LAWYERS SO MOM WILL PROBABLY CALL HER OLD BOSS TO SEE IF HE CAN RECOMMEND ONE! HE DOESN’T PRACTICE IN OKLAHOMA! IF THEY COLLECT ANYTHING WHICH I DOUBT, THE LADY DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY! I TOLD KELLY I’D SHOOT THE DOG FOR HIM, HE’S A DOG PERSON AND I CAN’T STAND DOGS, THEY CRAP IN MY YARD AND I HAVE STEPPED IN IT AND TRACKED IT IN THE HOUSE OR CAR! THE NEXT TIME I CATCH THOSE TWO DOGS IN OUR YARD HE WON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SHOOTING THEM I’LL DO IT FOR HIM! HE SAID SHE’LL JUST GET MORE DOGS AND I TOLD HIM I HAVE 500+ ROUNDS THAT BILL MASON SENT ME AND 22 AMMO ISN’T THAT EXPENSIVE! I’M REALLY NOT THAT MEAN BUT EVERYBODY ELSE UP AND DOWN OUR ROAD KEEP THEIR DOGS EITHER PENNED OR TIED UP! THIS STUPID THING UP FRONT SAYS HER DOGS DON’T LIKE TO BE CHAINED OR PENNED BUT NEITHER DO THE OTHER DOGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD! ANOTHER THING, THESE DOGS CHASE US EVERY TIME WE GO OUT IN THE CAR! I’LL WAIT AND GET THEM ONE AT A TIME IN FRONT OF ME AND STEP ON THE GAS, THAT’LL SAVE TWO ROUNDS OF AMMO.!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
