January 2019 North Texas Oldsmobile Club P.O. Box 856, Rowlett, Texas 75030-856 FIRST CLASS MAIL NORTH TEXAS OLDSMOBILE CLUB JANUARY 2019 NORTH TEXAS OLDSMOBILE CLUB JANUARY 2019 by Troy Manges Presidents Trumpet January 2019 Greetings all Hope your holidays have been relaxing. Who am I kidding, Christmas time is never relaxing. Just drink more eggnog and push through. I needed some hard eggnog this holiday season. A couple of days before Christmas our wash machine decided to not retain water. Instead decided that my garage floor was a good place for it. It also made bad jet engine noise while dumping water on garage floor. Did you know a place like Home Depot does not stock washing machines in the back of the store, well nether did I. After waiting a week we received our purchase, everything is good. No it was not. Two days later the water heated stopped producing hot water. Found that out late on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to get it fixed, a little lighter in the wallet. It is amazing how having hot water affects ones emotional state. All in all it has been a good holiday season, thank you football, and looking forward to a busy and exciting 2019. On a practical note, party balloons are not a substitute for your cars airbag, Ping pong Address: City: State: Zip: NTOC Membership # if renewal balls can raise a sunken boat, and if you are ever involved in trench warfare make sure to dig your trench with sharp corners. And by no means attach rockets to your vehicle. "The Rocket" I know it sounds cool and all but it will end badly. Have a Happy New Year.
