HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 20 VOL 13
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH 2008
WEATHER; COOL, HIGH HUMIDITY, 69/74 DEGREES
WE LEFT THE HOUSE AT 5:54 AM TO GO TO MUSKOGEE, OK. FOR THE HEARING ON MY DISABILITY! WE STOPPED IN SAVANNA, OK. FOR BREAKFAST!
WE GOT TO MUSKOGEE AND THE FEDERAL BLDG. CHECKED IN AND WAITED FOR 20 MINUTES TILL THE FIRST INTERVIEWER CAME AND GOT US! HE TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE INFORMAL HEARING, WE MENTIONED THE AUDIOLOGIST IN ARDMORE WOULDN’T SEND THE INFORMATION ON THE TEST HE DID ON ME TO OUR AUDIOLOGIST IN DENISON, THE INTERVIEWER PULLED IT UP ON HIS COMPUTER AND HANDED US THE COPY OF IT! HE SAID HE WASN’T A DOCTOR BUT IT LOOKED TO HIM LIKE WHAT THE ONE DONE IN ARDMORE WAS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE OUR DOCTOR IN DENISON DID AND THE ONE THAT WAS DONE AT THE VA IN BONHAM WAS THE SAME AS THE ONE OUR DOCTOR IN DENISON DID! WE WENT BACK AND SAT DOWN IN THE SNACK BAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND HE CAME AND GOT US FOR THE INFORMAL HEARING! IT LASTED ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND WE CHECKED OUT OF THE FEDERAL BLDG. AND WERE ON OUR WAY HOME BY 10 30 AM!
I MADE A WRONG TURN COMING OUT OF MUSKOGEE AND WE WENT ABOUT 50 MILES OUT OF OUR WAY! MOM CALLED TIM AND HAD HIM PULL UP THE TOWN OF STIGLER ON THE GOGLE MAP AND GET US BACK ON 69 TO MCALISTER WHICH HE DID! AFTER ALL THE RUNNING AROUND WE STILL GOT HOME ABOUT 2:10 PM! MOM MADE ME A COUPLE OF SANDWICHES AND TOOK SHANNON’S CAR BACK TO HER! ACCORDING TO THE TRIP METER WE COVERED 332 MILES ON ABOUT ½ TANK OF GAS! THE TANK IS 18.5 GAL SO I’D GUESS WE USED 10 GAL. RUNNING AT 65-75 MPH! IF WE WOULD HAVE FILLED IT UP WHEN WE GOT HOME WE WOULD KNOW EXACTLY! I’LL HAVE TO ADMIT, THIS TOYOTA AVALON IS A NICE CAR AND RAN AND RODE FINE! THE ONLY THING I’M GOING TO SUGGEST TO SHANNON IS SHE GET STRUTS AND SHOCKS AS SOON AS SHE CAN AND GET IT ALIGNED, IT ROAD WALKS BAD! THE CAR IS WORTH SPENDING THE MONEY FOR THESE THINGS AS I’M SURE SHE ISN’T THINKING ABOUT TRADING IT OFF SOON?
NOW WE WAIT! THEY SAID IF ANOTHER HEARING WAS NEEDED WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED BUT UNTILL THE VA MAKES IT’S DECISION WE CAN’T FILE A FORMAL APPEAL CHALLENGING THEIR DECISION! WE THINK THIS ONE WENT PRETTY MUCH IN OUR FAVOR BUT WE WON’T KNOW TILL THE VA CONTACTS US!
MOM BROUGHT THE INTREPID HOME FROM SHANNONS AND I ASKED HER HOW IT RAN? LIKE CRAP, SAME OLD, SAME OLD!
I’LL CHECK IN THE MORNING TO SEE IF START- RIGHT HAS THE ACCLAIM DONE! IF THEY DO WE’LL GO AFTER IT IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON!
IF I CAN’T FIND OUT WHY THE INTREPID RUNS SO BAD WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF THEN ALL THE PROBLEMS CLEAR UP AS SOON AS THE LIGHT COMES ON I’M GOING TO GO RIGHT TO CHRYSLAR WITH THE PROBLEM! IF THEY SUGGEST I TAKE IT TO HOYTE I’LL FILL THEM IN ON HIM AND HIS SO CALLED MECHANICS! THE ONLY ONE HE HAS OVER THERE THAT KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEIR DOING IS BUD WINES! I’D TAKE THE INTREPID TO HIM AT HOME BUT IF HOYTE EVER FOUND OUT BUD TOUCHED IT HE’D FIRE HIM!
CHARLEY WEESS CALLED ME LAST WEEK AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO SEND ME THE AMOUNT THEY CHARGED ME FOR PUTTING IN THE FLASHER! OF COURSE I AGREED THAT ANYTHING HE DID WAS ALRIGHT WITH ME SO MAYBE HE WON’T SEND THE MONEY AND THAT’LL BE ALRIGHT WITH ME TOO! I’M GETTING THE THINGS TOGETHER TO GO DIRECTLY TO CHRYSLER WITH THIS! I’M NOT DONE WITH THEM YET!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
