HOW MANY CONFIRMED KILLS DID HE ACCUMULATE?

 

SORRY CHRONICLE THIS IS LATE! OUR PHONE WAS OUT SINCE SOMETIME SATURDAY TILL MONDAY MORNING.

 

MIKE GOT HERE AND STARTED CUTTING THE LIMBS OFF THE CEDER TREE, HE CUT ENOUGH OFF THE NORTH SIDE (FACING THE DECK AND HOUSE) SO THE TREE ISN’T SO HEAVY ON THAT SIDE, NOW I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT FALLING! I CALLED TIM AND HE AND ELYSE AND THE KIDS GOT HERE AND TIM JUMPED IN AND STARTED HELPING MIKE. THEY DECIDED TO CUT THE BLACK WALNUT TREE DOWN, TIM WILL TAKE THE TRUNK AND SOME OF THE BIGGER LIMBS TO A SAW MILL IN McKINNEY TO HAVE SAWN INTO DIFFERENT SIZE LIMBER FOR PROJECTS HE’S WORKING ON IN HIS SHOP! WHEN THEY CUT THE CEDER TREE COMPLETELY DOWN HE’LL TAKE THE TRUNKS AND HAVE THEM CUT INTO 1X4s, THEY MAKE GOOD LINERS FOR CLOSETS OR SMALLE CHEST!

MOM AND KELLY ARE GOING TO GET A BIG CHIPPER/SCHREDDER NEXT FRIDAY AND TURN ALL THE SMALL CEDER LIMBS INTO MULCH AND BAG IT UP FOR FUTURE USE OR TO GIVE AWAY/SELL! MIKE CUT THE WALNT LIMBS INTO 18” PIECES SO HE CAN BURN THEM IN HIS FIREPLACE THE SMALLER BLACK WALNUT LIMBS WILL BE USED AS KINDLING FOR OUR CHIMNEA!

I’VE GOT TO CALL THE DALLAS VA MONDAY MORNING AND SEE WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO ABOUT SOMETHING THAT’S WORKING ITS WAY OUT OF THE INCISION FROM WHEN THEY REMOVED THE MOLE FROM MY WRIST. I THINK IT’S A STITCH BUT I’M NOT SURE AND DON’T WANT TO PULL IT MY SELF!

AGAIN, I’M SORRY THIS IS LATE.

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE

WE HAD TO WATCH HALEY JO WHILE KELLY AND GLENDA TOOK THEIR LITTLE DOG TO THE VET, IT WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY! WHEN THEY GOT HOME KELLY TOLD US IT HAD A VIRAL INFECTION AND WOULD BE ALRIGHT, I ASSUME THE VET GAVE THEM SOME MEDICINE FOR IT!

PEGGY’S DOING FINE AND ANTICIPATING RACING SEASON, MIKE & CINDY WE DON’T HEAR FROM UNLESS WE CALL MIKE FOR SOMETHING, KERRY AND DEBI DIDN’T MAKE IT LAST WEEK, HE HAD TO GET BACK TO WORK, OF COURSE KELLY AND GLENDA ARE  HERE AND WE SEE THEM EVERY DAY, SHANNON IS DOING OK, SHE’S FOUND A PLACE FOR KAITLIN AND NOEL TO MOVE TO, TIM AND ELYSE ARE DOING FINE, BRADLEY MADE A 92 ON HIS SCIENCE TEST SO THEY TOOK HIM TO A SPECIAL SHOW AT THE FORT WORTH PLANETARIUM TO NIGHT.

WHO WAS THE LEADING ACE OF ALL U.S. AIR COMBAT DURING WWII? INCLUDE HIS MIDDLE NAME IN YOUR ANSWER!

ALL WE HAD TO DO TODAY WAS WAIT TILL KELLY GOT OFF WORK AND HEADED TO B&B WITH THE INTREPID! WE PICKED UP HALEY JO EARLY AND WENT STRAIGHT OVER TO B&B, THEY’RE IN DENISON, TEXAS. BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE KELLY HAD UNLOADED THE CAR AND HEADED FOR HOME. I GAVE EDDY THE TRANNY FILTER KIT, EXHAUST GASKETS AND FRONT TRANNY SEAL THAT WE HAD BOUGHT A LONG TIME AGO!

HOW CAR NAMES ARE CONCOCTED

DID YOU EVER WONDER HOW THE AZTEK RECEIVED ITS NAME (OKAY, MAYBE NOT)? WELL THEN, HOW ABOUT THE TIBURON, PRELUDE, AVEO, OR ALLANTÉ? WHAT POSSESSED ACURA TO DROP "LEGEND" FOR "RL," OR "INTEGRA" FOR "RSX" (WE'RE STILL DUMBFOUNDED ON THOSE). WHY WOULD ANYONE NAME A CAR THE THING?

WHETHER IT IS APPARENT OR NOT THERE IS A TON OF MONEY AND MORE THAN A LITTLE PSYCHOLOGY INVOLVED IN NAMING A CAR THESE DAYS IT'S NOT A SIMPLE MATTER. NOT ONLY DO THE NAMES HAVE TO INVOKE QUALITY, SIGNIFICANCE, AND EXCITEMENT, BUT THEY MUST NOT OFFEND -- IN ANY LANGUAGE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE NAME CANNOT ALREADY BE TAKEN (MANUFACTURERS "RESERVE" NAMES YEARS IN ADVANCE, AND HOLD THEM CLOSE TO THEIR CHESTS). AUTOMAKERS SCOUR DICTIONARIES IN THE EAST AND WEST, FORAGE THROUGH LITERATURE AND GEOGRAPHY BOOKS, AND EVEN FLIP THROUGH PET NAMES KNOWING PERFECTLY WELL THAT A NAME CAN MAKE OR BREAK AN AUTOMOBILE.

THAT SAID, NOVA HAD A GOOD RUN AT THE TIME, BUT DON'T EXPECT TO SEE THE NAME SLAPPED ON A TRUNK AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

FYI

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO BACK YOUR CAR OR TRUCK UP TO YOUR TRAILER WITHOUT A SPOTTER AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT CLOSE? I FOUND AN OLD FISHING POLE AND BROKE   THE TOP COUPLE OF FEET OFF IT. I SPRAY-PAINTED IT A BRIGHT COLOR SO IT’S EASY TO SEE, AND THEN I STICK IT INTO THE LATCH ON THE TONGUE OF MY TRAILER WHEN I’M READY TO HOOK UP. NOW WHEN I BACK UP I HAVE A GUIDE THAT HELPS ME LOCATE WHERE THE HITCH ON MY CAR OR TRUCK NEEDS TO BE TO HOOK UP TO MY TRAILER.

THIS TIP SUPPLIED BY; DAVE DANCER, DELPHOS, OH. AND WAS SUBMITTED TO “STREET THUNDER” MAGAZINE A PUBLICATION OF “STREET MACHINE CLUB.”

ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; “RICK” WAS HIS FIRST NAME

WHAT FAMOUS SAYING WAS CREDITED TO BOGART IN CASABLANCA BUT HE DENIED EVER SAYING IT?

DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE WORLD ENDING TODAY! IT’S ALREADY TOMORROW IN AUSTRALIA!

FINALLY GOT THE INTREPID LOADED UP AND READY TO GO! KELLY WILL TAKE IT TO WORK WITH HIM AND TO B&B WHEN HE GETS OFF AT 1:30 TOMORROW AFTERNOON!.

I STARTED IT UP THIS MORNING AND TRIED TO PULL IT OUT SO WE COULD LOAD IT ON THE 2 WHEEL DOLLY BUT IT WOULDN’T MOVE FORWARD BUT IT WOULD BACK UP SO WE PULLED IT OUT WITH THE ACCLAIM AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO USE THE ACCLAIM TO PUSH IT UP ON THE DOLLY BUT AS SOON AS MOM TOUCHED IT WITH THE FRONT BUMPER IT STARTED TO PULL IN DRIVE AND I PUT IT ON THE DOLLY!  DON’T START ME TO LYING, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! I CALLED AND ASKED TIM WHAT DID IT PULL IN FOR HIM AND HE SAID DRIVE AND WHEN HE STOPPED THEY HAD TO PUSH IT IN THE GARAGE, IT WOULDN’T BACK UP! WEIRD!

WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT’S GOING TO TAKE B&B TO GET THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED? HE HAS OTHER JOBS AHEAD OF  US, HE’LL CALL ME WHEN IT’S DONE! I KNOW EDDY AND HE’LL GET IT OUT AS FAST AS HE CAN! WE STILL HAVE TO LICENSE AND INSURE IT WE WAITED TILL IT WAS GOING TO THE SHOP BEFORE DOING THAT! I’LL HAVE MOM CALL THE INSURANCE PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM SHOW IT ON OUR POLICY UNTIL WE CAN GET IT TO THEM TO CHECK THE VIN #!

THAT’S ABOUT ALL WE DID TODAY EXCEPT GO PICK UP HALEY JO!

 

THE BUCK STOPS HERE CONT’D

THE PYRAMID IS UNCAPPED, AGAIN SIGNIFYING THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED. INSIDE THE CAPSTONE YOU HAVE THE ALL SEEING EYE AND THE ANCIENT SYMBOL FOR DIVINITY. IT WAS FRANKLIN’S BELIEF THAT ONE MAN COULDN’T DO IT ALONE, BUT A GROUP OF MEN, WITH THE HELP OF GOD, COULD DO ANYTHING. “IN GOD WE TRUST” IS ON OUR CURRENCY. THE LATIN ABOVE THE PYRAMID, ANNUIT COEPTIS, MEANS “GOD HAS FAVORED OUR UNDERTAKING.” THE LATIN BELOW THE PYRAMID, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, MEANS “A NEW ORDER HAS BEGUN.” AT THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID IS THE ROMAN NUMERAL FOR 1776.

IF YOU WILL LOOK AT THE RIGHT-HAND CIRCLE, AND CHECK IT CAREFULLY, YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS ON EVERY NATIONAL CEMETERY IN THE UNITED STATES.IT IS ALSO ON THE PARADE OF FLAGS WALKWAY AT THE BUSHNELL, FLORIDA NATIONAL CEMETERY AND IS THE CENTER PIECE OF MOST HEROE’S MONUMENTS. SLIGHTLY MODIFIED IT IS THE SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND IT IS ALWAYS VISABLE WHENEVER HE SPEAKS, YET NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE SYMBOLS MEAN.

THE BALD EAGLE WAS SELECTED AS A SYMBOL FOR VICTORY FOR TWO REASONS; FIRST, HE IS NOT AFRAID OF A STORM; HE IS STRONG AND IS SMART ENOUGH TO SOAR ABOVE IT. SECONDLY; HE WEARS NO MATERIAL CROWN. WE HAD JUST BROKEN FROM THE KING OF ENGLAND. ALSO, THE SHIELD IS UNSUPPORTED. THIS COUNTRY CAN NOW STAND ON ITS OWN. AT THE TOP OF THAT SHIELD YOU HAVE A WHITE BAR SIGNIFYING CONGRESS, A UNIFYING FACTOR. WE WERE COMING TOGETHER AS ONE NATION. IN THE EAGLES BEAK YOU WILL READ, “E PLURIBUS UNUM”,   MEANING “ONE NATION FROM MANY PEOPLE.”

ABOVE THE EAGLE YOU HAVE THIRTEEN STARS REPRESENTING THE THIRTEEN ORIGINAL COLONIES, AND ANY CLOUDS OF MISUNDERSTANDING ROLLING AWAY. AGAIN, WE WERE COMING TOGETHER AS ONE. NOTICE WHAT THE EAGLE HOLDS IN HIS TALONS, HE HOLDS AN OLIVE BRANCH AND ARROWS. THIS COUNTRY WANTS PEACE, BUT WE WILL NEVER BE AFRAID TO FIGHT TO PRESERVE PEACE. THE EAGLE ALWAYS WANTS TO FACE THE OLIVE BRANCH, BUT IN TIME OF WAR, HIS GAZE TURNS TOWARD THE ARROWS. THEY SAY THE NUMBER 13 IS AN UNLUCKY NUMBER. THIS IS ALMOST A WORLDWIDE BELIEF. YOU WILL USUALLY NEVER SEE A ROOM NUMBERED 13, OR A HOTEL OR MOTEL WITH A 13^TH FLOOR. BUT, THINK ABOUT THIS; 13 ORIGINAL COLONIES, 13 SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, 13 STRIPES ON OUR FLAG, 13 STEPS ON THE PYRAMID, 13 LETTERS IN THE LATIN ABOVE, 13 LETTERS IN “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” 13 STARS ABOVE THE EAGLE, 13 PLUMS OF FEATHERS ON EACH SPAN OF THE EAGLE’S WING, 13 BARS ON THAT SHIELD, 13 LEAVES ON THE OLIVE BRANCH, 13 FRUITS, AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, 13 ARROWS, AND FOR MINORITIES; THE 13^TH AMMENDMENT.

I ALWAYS ASK PEOPLE, “WHY DON’T YOU KNOW THIS?” YOUR CHILDREN DON’T KNOW THIS AND THEIR HISTORY TEACHERS DON’T KNOW THIS. TOO MANY VETERANS HAVE GIVEN UP TOO MUCH TO EVER LET THE MEANING FADE. MANY VETERANS REMEMBER COMING HOME TO AN AMERICA THAT DIDN’T CARE. TOO MANY VETERANS NEVER CAME HOME AT ALL. TELL EVERYONE WHAT IS ON THE BACK OF THE ONE-DOLLAR BILL AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE WILL.

ANSWER TO POP QUIZ; “THE FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE”.

POP QUIZ; WHAT WAS HUMPHRY BOGARTS FIRST NAME IN “CASABLANCA?”

BOY, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY! I STAYED IN AND WATCHED THE PROCEEDING ABOUT THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORKS RESIGNATION!

WHAT A DUMB ASS, HE GOT TRIPPED UP BY THE SAME SOFTWARE HE DEVELOPED TO CATCH THOSE PROMOTING PROSTITUTION!

THEY WERE SAYING ON CNN TODAY HE LACKED THE ONE THING THAT EISENHOWER, ROOSEVELT, KENNEDY AND OTHERS HAD, STREET SMARTS! THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT BARACK OBAMA LACKS AND HILLERY CLINTON IS WELL VERSED IN AND THAT’S   STREET SMARTS! SO MUCH FOR POLITICS THAT I SAID I WASN’T GOING TO COVER IN THIS CHRONICLE!

THE BUCK STOPS HERE

TAKE OUT A ONE-DOLLAR BILL AND LOOK AT IT. THE ONE-DOLLAR BILL YOU’RE LOOKING AT CAME OFF THE PRESSES IN 1957 IN ITS PRESENT DESIGN.

THIS SO CALLED PAPER MONEY IS IN FACT A COTTON AND LINEN BLEND, WITH RED AND BLUE SILK FIBERS RUNNING THROUGH IT. IT IS ACTUALLY MATERIAL.

WE’VE ALL WASHED IT WITHOUT IT FALLING APART. A SPECIAL BLEND OF INK IS USED, THE CONTENTS WE WILL NEVER KNOW. IT IS OVERPRINTED WITH SYMBOLS AND THEN IT IS STARCHED TO MAKE IT WATER RESISTANT AND PRESSED TO GIVE IT THAT NICE CRISP LOOK.

IF YOU LOOK ON THE FRONT OF THE BILL, YOU SEE THE UNITED STATES TREASURY SEAL. ON THE TOP YOU WILL SEE THE SCALES FOR THE BALANCE OF A BUDGET. IN THE CENTER YOU HAVE A CARPENTER’S T-SQUARE, A TOOL USED FOR AN EVEN, CUT. UNDERNEATH IS THE KEY TO THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. THAT’S ALL PRETTY EASY TO FIGURE OUT, BUT WHAT IS ON THE BACK OF THAT DOLLAR BILL IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL KNOW.

IF YOU TURN THE BILL OVER YOU WILL SEE TWO CIRCLES. BOTH CIRCLES TOGETHER COMPRISE THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES. THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS REQUESTED THAT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND A GROUP OF MEN COME UP WITH A SEAL. IT TOOK THEM FOUR YEARS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK AND ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO GET IT APPROVED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT HAND CIRCLE, YOU WILL SEE A PYRAMID. NOTICE THE FACE IS LIGHTED AND THE WESTERN SIDE IS DARK. THIS COUNTRY WAS JUST BEGINNING. WE HAD NOT BEGUN TO EXPLORE THE WEST OR DECIDED WHAT WE COULD DO FOR WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

I’LL CONTINUE THIS TOMORROW, IT GETS MORE INTERESTING AS WE GO ALONG! IT WILL SURPRISE YOU JUST WHAT YOU “DON’T KNOW ABOUT OUR GREAT COUNTRY!” AND IT’S ALL ON A ONE-DOLLAR BILL!

WHAT CLASSICAL MUSIC WAS THE THEME FOR THE “GREEN HORNET?”

DIDN’T DO MUCH TODAY, I TOOK THE ALTERNATOR BACK TO R&D WE HAD BOUGHT FOR THE ACCLAIM AND GOT A CREDIT, THEY DON’T GIVE THE MONEY BACK WHICH IS FINE WITH US, WE NEED A RADIO W/A CD PLAYER, FOUR HUB CAPS AND THE BLACK PLASTIC GRILL THAT SETS IN FRONT OF THE WINDSHIELD UNDER THE WIPERS FOR THE INTREPID! KELLY’S SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT TO B&B FRIDAY, WEATHER PERMITTING! AT THE SAME TIME HE’LL TAKE THE DECK FIREPLACE PEGGY AND PAUL GAVE US AND WE’LL PICK UP THE “CHIMNEA” WE WANT TO REPLACE IT!

WHEN I GOT HOME SHANNON AND KONNER WERE HERE, KAITLIN HAD SOME RUNNING TO DO AND USED SHANNON’S CAR. WHEN KAITLIN GOT HERE SHE HAD HER NEW BOY FRIEND WITH HER, HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE ENOUGH GUY I JUST HOPE SHE’S TOLD HIM SHE STILL MARRIED TO JOSH BEFORE ANYTHING REAL SERIOUS DEVELOPS!

AFTER THEY LEFT I WENT OUT ON THE DECK AND PUT THE CLEATS UP WE GOT TO WRAP THE LINES FOR THE ROLL UP SHADES ON. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT SOME OFF THE LINES, THEY’RE ABOUT 3 FEET TO LONG BUT THAT’S NO PROBLEM, JUST SLIDE THE KNOBS UP AND RETIE A KNOT FOR THE RIGHT LENGTH!

IT’S A SHAME BUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT REALLY WEARS ME OUT, IT TOOK ME OVER 2 HOURS TO DO A 30 MINUTE JOB! OH WELL, AT LEAST I GOT IT DONE! THEY CALL IT OLD AGE!

MORE SENTENCES ABOUT ALLOTMENTS FROM THE SAN ANTIONIO VA FILES!

I AM GLAD TO SAY MY HUSBAND WHO WAS REPORTED MISSING IS NOW DEAD.

UNLESS I GET MY HUSBAND’S MONEY SOON, I WILL HAVE TO LIVE  A IMMORTAL LIFE.

I WANT MY MONEY AS QUICKLY AS I CAN GET IT. I HAVE BEEN IN BED WITH A DOCTOR FOR 2 WEEKS AND HE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE DOING ME ANY GOOD. IF THINGS DON’T IMPROVE I WILL HAVE TO SEND FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR SOON.

I AM A POOR WIDOW AND ALL I HAVE IS IN THE FRONT.

MY HUSBAND HAD HIS PROJECT CUT OFF TWO WEEKS AGO AND I HAVEN’T HAD ANY RELIEF SINCE.

THIS MAN AND HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS WIFE WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR. THEY WERE IN BED ONE DAY WHEN THE WOMANS HUSBAND CAME HOME FROM WORK EARLY! THE LOVER JUMPED OUT OF BED AND GRABBED HIS CLOTHES AND WAS LOOKING FOR SOME PLACE TO HIDE, THERE WAS AN OLD REFRIGERATOR STANDING IN THE CORNER THAT THE JUNK PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO PICK UP! SHE POINTED TO IT AND SHOOK HER HEAD YES! THE LOVER OPENED THE DOOR AND CLIMBED IN AND CLOSED THE DOOR TIGHT! THE HUSBAND CAME IN YELLING HE KNEW THERE WAS SOMEONE HERE AND WENT LOOKING IN THE CLOSET, UNDER THE BED, UNDER THE COVERS, BEHIND THE CURTAINS BUT COULDN’T FIND ANYONE! HE WAS SO MAD HE PICKED UP THE OLD REFRIGERATOR AND THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW RIPPING THE FRAME WORK OUT! THEY LIVED ON THE 2^ND FLOOR IN THE BACK OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING!

THE LOVER IS STANDING IN LINE WAITING TO GO THROUGH THE PEARLY GATES WITH A SURPRISED LOOK ON HIS FACE! WHEN HE GOT UP TO SAINT PETER WHO WAS LOOKING THROUGH HIS BIG BOOK FOR THE LOVERS NAME AND COULDN’T FIND IT HE ASKED THE LOVER, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IT’S NOT YOUR TIME YET!” THE LOVER SAID,”WELL, YOU SEE, I WAS HIDING IN THIS REFRIGERATOR AND………………………………………!
