I had a customer call me and ask me if I could help her?

So, she was telling me that she doesn't have hot water. So, I told her I would stop by on Tuesday the 22nd. So, I drove out there and checked to see what the problem could be. There was 240 volts coming from the electric box. But on the water heater element there was no power coming in. So, I checked the switch that runs the water heater. Plenty of power coming out of that. Look at the power coming in the connection where the power supposed to, 240 volts. Okay it must be the water heater itself. So, I decided to pull the old one out and buy another one. 

Started talking with Margo (owner) she was telling me that she really doesn't use that much hot water. Just the shower and wash dishes. Thinking another thing, try to save her some money too. I ordered a in line tankless water heater, online at Home Depot. 

Meanwhile I was trying to put the male threaded fixing on top of the inline PVC. 

I left the water on praying the PVC pipe would not break. It did break and I had to shut off the main line until I could repair this pipe. 

I cut the old fittings out and went over to Butterfields Hardware and bought the parts I needed and came back and put it all back together and let is set for about 20 minutes to make sure the glue was dry and turned the water back on and the new pipe and valve held nicely.

Okay, I tried to find out the amperage rating on the inline tankless water heater. I looked at all reviews and specs. But nowhere does it say amperage. but 240 volts. So, I ordered it online. It came in on the 24th. I brought it over there on next day, 25th. Right on the side of the box said, 60 amps. Her electric box only has 40 amps. Really no place to add any more. So, I need to find another water heater. I could not find any with less amperage. So, I found her a 20-gallon water heater. It cost a $100.00 move. But the 30 gallon one would take another 3 to four days to get shipped to my house. Okay that is why I bought the 20 gallon one, she told me that she would only use with shower and washing dishes. I took the line tankless water heater back to Home Depot and they gave me my money back. I Bought the 20 gallon one and brought it over to her house. Oh, the gentleman in the picture below is Don. He has been my friend since we were 7 years old. So, him and his wife came into town on the 24th and he wanted to come and help me get her water heater working. 

That day we got the water heater and tried just using one leg of the 240 volts, thinking it should be 120 volts, I bought two 20 amp. circuit breaker from Home Depot. Found out her electric box is a General Electris. I bought Square D. So drove over to Butterfield Hareware again. Bough the correct 20 amp. Circuit breakers. But found out it is only 60 volts. Folks Don and I tried pretty much everything we could think of. Still only have 60 volts. I walked away and told her maybe we will need to call the electrician. I told her I will try to find one. Meanwhile Don went on AI and thinks he found the answer we needed. Driving back home we talked about how to maybe find out what the problem is. Got back to my house and talked a bunch about different things to do.  

Went to bed and I got up around 3am (25th) and asked the Lord for His help. It came to me, why not just run a brand new 12-gauge wire in the electric box and then run it to the new water heater. 

Stayed up and did my Bible study and whatever else I needed to make this work. I went into my shed and found the wire and loaded everything I could think of. I drove Jeannne to school and helped her set things up and drove back home and got Don and told him what I believe we should do. He said great, that sounds good. Drove over to Home Depot and bought a few more parts and then to Margo's house we went. Got there I took the side skirting off the motor home and looked under the house, found where the electric box comes in. Then pushed the 12-gauge wire into a hole in the box, down into under the house. Then I went out and asked Don to stay and push the wire into the hole and I will pull it down under the house up to where the water heater is setting. Boy there was water and sand under there and I just kept push my body up to the water heater and Don meet me at the water heater. I got myself out from under the trailer, my shirt was wet and dirty. Walked back went over where and water heater is and found out I need to drill and 3/4" hole into the plywood to get the wire up to the water heater. Made sure everything was looking good. Pulled the old circuit 40 amp (double 20-amp switches) out and installed the two new 20-amp single circuit breakers in. Tested the powered everything looked great. 120 volts on both circuit breakers. So, I shut off one and hooked up one for the water heater and tested at the water heater and everything is beautiful. So turned the water valve on and I could hear the water flowing. Filled it all the way up. Then flipped the switch on the 20-amp circuit break and power was still great. Ran some water and Don told me that it was warming up. So, talked with Margo and explained that she should have hot water before she goes to sleep. 

Got up on the 26th and I texted her and said everything is okay. 

Thank you, Jesus Christ for all you do for us. 

This morning I sent to her the new price for the new water heater and labor and she text me back. Okay. So, now tomorrow I need to drive to Fort Lauderdale. I have a dentist appointment in the morning and maybe I will stop by to get her check afterwards. 

I am so blessed to call my Lord Jesus Christ my SAVOR. 

I gave my life to Him on Oct. 26th 1996. Since then, I believe what the Bible I have read saids. 

In the Bok of John 3:1 to 8 verses talks about a gentleman named Nicdemus came to Jesus at night and came to talk with Him. But in verse (3). Jesus replied, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God" (4) "What do you mean" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?"(5) Jesus replied =, "The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit" (6) Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven. So don't be surprised at the statement that you must be born again. (8) Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born again of the Spirit. 

Folks I believe Jesus tells us in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life. NO ONE can come to the Father except through me. 

I know it is hard to understand sometimes. But His Word Lives and we all need to have faith in HIM. 

 

Last Saturday morning we all got up a little earlier than normal. That would be Sept 12th.

Well, we all made it on time. Zack is coming to just help us learn more about fishing. It was something my baby wanted to happen. So, we got here at 6:30am and getting things in order and ready to push off. You can see it is dark out here and need to take our time.  

We will be going about 18 miles out. We are in the cannel (Jetty Area) now and you can see the beautiful sunrise is starting. If you look, the sun is shining thru the clouds and it makes it look like that is the sunrise. BUT this is land. The ocean is where the sun will be coming up. 

Now this is our grandson, Kaden. he loves fishing and every time you gets a chance to fish, he is there. 

Now you can see the sunrise. 

This is our captain, Jeanne, my lovely wife. Her and her hubby, Bubba. Had this boat made by Gold Line. She has told me that this boat came out of the 3rd mold 1984. So, she has a big love for this boat. Plus, she even loves fishing too. 

Folks I enjoy the boat rides and going out to see what happens. But to say I love fishing, I am sorry to say not really. But I love my wife and when she wants to go out, most times I will be there. 

Like tomorrow morning, Kaden has something else going on. So. I will be going out tomorrow. 

I am sorry to say, we didn't go out on Monday. The waves are 2 to 3 feet. It really isn't fun to go out and during that time, I usually get an upset stomach and don't feel like fishing. 

I thought you could see the small fish we were fishing for, bait. See the bubbles?

Kaden was the first and the biggest fish caught today. OH, this is HE FIRST KING FISH TOO. This is called a King Fish. he is thinking it's about 48 inches long and not sure what the weight is.

Just a side note, on Tuesday evening Jeanne and I had King for dinner. The raw meat is gray color. But after frying it it turns pure white meat. Plus is is sooo GOOD.  

Zack caught this is Mutton Snapper. 

Then about half hour went by, he caught this is Mutton Snapper. He is the biggest one I have ever seen up front. 30" not sure of the weight. It's kind of funny, we never had a scale on the boat, and I put one on a couple of days. But I guess they are not worried about the weight. Because I did ask a couple of times, would you like to weight it? I never got a answer. 

You can see the weather in fornt of us. 

Kaden loves to live a little more dangerously. But he did good. He was having a ball. 

I am not sure how long we were out there. But the fish pretty much stopped bitting and we move to aa couple stops, but really no action at all. 

So, we headed back in around 2;30pm. 

This is Zack, he is the one that was showing us all kinds of different things to do to catch fish. Plus, he gave Jeanne a couple of great spots to get some big ones. But they are still out in the deeper waters. 18 miles offshore.

Kadena and Jeanne were cleaning the fish we caught, and I washed down the boat. Boy, I guess it is so much easier to clean it at the dock. We don't have to take the boat out and drive home and do the cleaning at home. I bought boat cleaner that is environment friendly. That meets that the soap will not kill the fish in the water or even hurt the area around. The really neat thing, this stuff cleaned even easier than the stull I used to clean houses. 

Well folks yesterday we went to church, and our Pastor Tim is teaching thru the Book of Exodus. We are in chapter 20:4 

Remember to OBSERVE the Sabbath. Hey, whenever I talk with someone about the Sabbath. 

Matthew 12:8 Jesus is talking, For the Son of Man is Lord (Jesus Christ) of the Sabbath. 

Then I say, how about your pastor at church, doesn't he always work on Sunday. When does he take a Sabbath? Most people look at me and say, never thought about that. 

Well as when I worked at a Calvary Chapel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 16 years. My Sabbath was on Monday or Tuesday, those were my days off. 

Our Pastor Tim takes off on Fridays, that is his Sabbath and Famliy day. 

Hey folks we are very BUSY Being Under Satin Yoke. Each and everyday of the week,

I am not say, busy is always that. But just think, if Satin can't make you sin, he will make your day very busy.  So, to say all this is Please take, a day to honor Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

REST IN HIM EACH AND EVERDAY. 

 

On Saturday we flew back home. Sept. 5thn 2026

Okay I got up early and took a drive. I went to Dunkin Donuts for 6 donuts and a couple of coffees.

Oh, I got a couple of items for Billy. But we have not had the chance to see each other. So, while driving over to his house I need to stop and take some pictures, plus my little girl wants me to get her some shelles a dn rocks. So, I stopped on the way and here I am. Tisi is South Beach. it along Mashall

 Road. It's kind of funny but there are guys always here putting their small boats in and taking them out. It is very shallow and at low tide it really kind be hard to get their boats on the trailer. But it still is a beautiful spot. 

I got back and Mark came over to give a us a ride to the airport. Left to right, Mike on the sofa, Joe with the hat and Mark sitting there looking at his phone. 

This is the Camp where we stay at. 

We needed to stop at the Centre and do something. But had a chance and get some pictures. 

This is the Meda Cntre

There are four buses. one of the is at the Camp. 

This is the Play Grounds. 

Their Petting Farm. 

I didn't have time to check it out. But Mark was teeing me that they have goats and chickens and I know he told me something else. 

Folks this place was full of all kinds of aninals. 

We are just driving by the ALC Camp. 

There is the four bus I was talking about. 

Now heading to the airport. 

Walked in and saw this beautiful map of the Bahamas. I used to have one of these many years ago. 

All aboard and ready to rock and roll. 

We are up and on our way home. 

That is the USA on our lefthand side. 

We needed to land in Poit Saint Lucie airport and see the customs officer. Then take off again and head to Joe's landing strip. 

You can see the Customs building. 

Now going back up and heading to Joe's 

There you can see the landing strip and we are almost home. 

We are down and safe. Thank you Jesus for a beautiful ride and day. 

This is Joe's baby. Maike and him have been working on this 64/64 Ford Mustang for a while now. It has a new motor, and everything is working on it. Just wants to look better. 

I said my goodbyes to Mike and Joe and headed down to the dock where Jeanne and Kaden have been fishing and just got back and they had a ball. 

Kaden (grandson) caught this beast, COBIA- 48" long and weight is 29 pounds. 

This is my wife Jeanne, she caught a 38" COBIA not sure of the weight. but is still a beautiful things

They caught a MAUI MAUI DOLPHIN FISH. Kaden got his fish and he had some things to get done at home. So we said our goodbyes and will see him this coming Saturday. We are going out again. 

They had a ball and very happy to clean them and get everything back home again. 

The boat is parked and everything looks secure. We will be back on Sunday afternoon to pull the boat out and bring it back home. Jeanne has her mechanic coming over on Friday to do some work on the motor. 

It sure looks like a big storm is coming in. 

Here is the final picture. Kaden wants to do something with this and needs the skeleton. 

So, I am very proud of my little girl for catching some beautiful fish and I know she had some fun too with her grandson. 

Folks please just look at all this because Jesus loves us and we get to be part of this world. 

Please seek Him.
