9-18-8 .. Bought '90 Ranger from Mary F. It has a bad transmission. James R. and I drove to Paragould and five 20s put a transmission in the back of my '91 Nissan. Dallas G. is a good man to know on parts. Mr. J.W.G. is a very knowledgable old man at 1501 Kings Highway. Home and put trans in the back of the Ranger. Beck and I went to Western Sizzlin' and met Bufe ,Viv and his Becky. We had a fantastic dinner from the buffet. Beckey and I went to the NEA Fair. Met so many folks! It was Senior Day and a lot of my friends from St. Elizabeth, Skillcare, Jonesboro Homecare and Craighead Nursing homes were there. Even Trumann had some attendees. Well, you save the admission of $5. Beck had to pay... ha! She bought her 30 pounds of par-boiled rice for $15 this year. It was 1/2 that last year. I met Ray Kidd, Bill Berry, Leon Trotter, J.R, Ms. Bradbury (Gene's mother) and many others. I played the harp blues style for a few of my friends and neighbors. I bought a couple of tickets for raffles. I pulled the 70 lb pul compound bow. The exhibitor was impressed.. said I must have been lifting weights... (generally just my own..ha). We went to see Mark Hinds(Derrick/Marianne's son & my grandson) play ball. They won the game 12-8! Mark made two unassited tackles and a few assisted ones. I brought a six-ft heavy metal pipe home to help in bringing the '90 Ranger to its reparation point in T-town.
9-19-8 I couldn't sleep... at last I had Beck to take the weights off of Grandmother( the new clock I had traded for...ha). I think I had been awake all night for all the hour and half hour ' dongs! Got up early and prepared the Ranger for the chain/pipe assist to Trumann. I picked up James R. and he steered the R and "braked" for the both of us! Over to Bryan M's. (the gargage owner) without incident. I took James back home and gave him a fin for his effort. He retorted that I needn't give him $ for things like helping since we are friends.. but I insisted. Back to Bryan's and read from the Shady Grove Scrapbook that the Woolbright's have assembled(it belongs to Crissy Whittaker). I returned it later in the day to KFC where C.W. works. Bryan and I got the Ranger to start and he said, definitely that it was the transmission. I went to Campbell Sr. Center and ate dinner. Saw Ronnie, Jewel, Vera, Odell, Ray, Henry, and several others. I worked about the Pecan Grove. I went over to Bryan's and he told me that he would have the truck ready tomorrow. It will be around $150. ..not so bad for a truck that will be worth about $1,400. I think, if if proves out, I may start driving it as my daily truck and sell the Nissan. It has been a great truck! .. visited with Erma/Junior L..
