It really is nice to get brand new tables in Chef Gray's New Kitchen.

There is just one small problem. The stools they bought don't fit under the table, So, these stools stay in the isles and there is only so much room to get by the stools. So, Jeanne and I picked up and put the table on it's side on top of the other table next to it. I found out by trying, the wheels unscrew and there is a piece of all tread hold the wheel on. I unscrewed one and found if I put 4 washers 1/2" x 2". 

They just fit under. I can't add any more washers all tread will be too short and will not screw into the base. So, this will work. 

You can see how much higher the table is now. 

I found out Home Depot doesn't sell these at the store. But on line you can buy them. I think I paid $17.41 for a box of 100 pieces. That to me is crazy. I was looking at 1/4"x 1 1/4' a box sold for $18.84. I was thinking wow the 2" ones are thicker. Good deal.  

Well at the end I bought three boxes thinking I could put 5 washers on each wheel. But it will not work. So, I will be sending the last box back to Home Depot and getting only 25 more, that will finish all the table, I am short 24 washers. 

Folks I am still reading Daniel and boy it is getting heavier each chapter I get into. I don't have anything to share today. But I will later on this week. Thank you for taking time to read and just checking out all the crazy things I work on. 

 

On February 16th starting to set up for more District of Port Saint Lucie School Borad, plus guest.

Okay the next day the 17th, There will be around 50 people coming to have lunch here at Westwood. So, my little girl is always trying to find different things to make her luncheons and events have something special. So, she found this this small trick with a large fork and tablecloth. All she is doing it twisting one way and letting it be drawled up and there is a ROSE on the tablecloth.  It really did look nice. 

But after doing it to all the black tablecloths I didn't like it. I asked Jeanne about putting the maroon tablecloths every other one. 

This is thew way we left it on the 16th. Next day is the event. 

I came back around 11am and help out. The students pretty much did everything else. 

These are just a few of the students that did this evet. They went out and served and did whatever Chef Gray told them to get or do. I stayed back and made sure everything was getting out and cleaning at the same time. It really did run pretty smooth. The students helped me when I asked. It really went very well. 

Now these are some of the people we fed and served. They are part of the board plus private owners of businesses and companies that need student willing to work and do things in the community.

These folks seemed to be delighted by the way the luncheon went and the food we delicious and the server did well too.  

Jeanne and I got out of here around 6pm or so. Jeanne was very pleased on how good the students behaved and did their jobs very well too. Oh, the students got to take some food and they were very appreciated. 

Well, I am still reading in Daniel. 

I read chapter 5 is talking about A new King has taking over for Nebuchadnezzar throne. Google tells me about 10 to 25b years have passed since chapter 4. King Belshazzar is now the new King Darius in in charge now. Meanwhile his advisors saw how Daniel would pray three times a day to God, They didn't like him doing that, so they all came back to the king and told him to place a law for thirty days that no one can pray or anything like that to no one else than King Darius, So, I guess the king didn't know about Daniel praying three times a day to God. 

Sad part happen was those people that didn't like Daniel praying to God, got their law in place and went to Daniel's place and caught him praying and brought him to the King Daries and told him how Daiel went against the kings Law. So, he had to have Daniel throwing into the loins den. That evening King Daries was fasting and worried about if Daniel will be a live the next morning??? 

God was watching over Daniel, During the night My God sent his angel shut the loins mouths so that would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in HIS sight. Right after they got Daniel out of the loins den, the King ordered to arrest the men who had maliciously accused Daniel. He had them thrown into the lion's den along with their wives and children. 

You can just image what happen to them afterwards. The King Darius sent a message to the people of every race and nation and language thought-out the world. 

The God of Daniel is the only One to worship. There is so much more to know about Daniel. I hope you take the time and read it for yourselves. Thank you for taking the time to read all. 

 

What we did on Valentine's Day?? Great day.

Okay, we were on our way to Kyle G's Seafood and Steak Restaurant. While driving south along Hutchinson Island. Jeanne called Kyle's, they are booked until later day. So, we talked a little and said what do we have to loose? So, we pulled in and were very surprised that they had a place to sit and, on the water, too. 

As sitting there, just looking around and enjoying the nice calm breeze and how beautiful it was out here. I really thought it would be a little chilly, I brought my jacket, but didn't even put it on. 

They had a couple of choose on specials, Prime Rib with fixings. There was something else, but I wanted some Scallops.  

My little girl ordered her once a year drink. Not sure what it was, but she really liked it. 

I got the Broiled Scallops and fixings. 

Boy we both really enjoyed our meals and wanted to try one of their desserts. So, we asked and our young lady brought out and menu and boy everything looked so good. 

Sad part I didn't even think about taking a picture until a was almost done. That was even great. 

hey, asked for our bill and were very nicely surprised at the bill. Jeanne looked at is and on there was two Prime Ribs dinners, our young lady took it and fixed it and even nicer. 

Jeanne told me that we saved over half and even a little more than that. If we went to Kyle's G's. It would have been $250.00 + 

Afterward just took a small walk down to the sandy beach and took some pictures and then started heading towards home. 

That is my beautiful young lady. 

You cans see there really was no waiting at all. 

Oh, we did stop at the Gift Shop. My wife got herself a couple of pieces of clothing. 

Hey, she loved them and who am I to stop her. It is such a joy to see those beautiful smiles she gives me afterwards. 

On the way back home, she wanted to stop at Hobby Lobby and get some flowers for the center pieces for the luncheon we will be doing on Monday.

I will share those pictures next time. 

Overall, it was a great day and very relaxing  

It was Saturday and went we got home we just sat around and watched love stories and just hung out, laying on the recliners. 

hey, this morning I am in the Book of Daniel read chapters 1 and 2. the second chapter is talking about a dream King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Second half of chapter 2, Daniel is told that the king is going to execute all the wisemen and fortune tellers, The reason is the king asked them to come and tell him what he dreamed the night before. But no one could tell him anything about his dream. So, he gave order to have them all be executed. But Daniel was told about it and he asked God to show him the dream. Which the Lord did and the next day, he came to the king and asked to talk with him about his dream. Which Damiel started out and explained the dream and what it means and wow.  

The dream was the following: 

King dreamed about a large statue, The head was made out of GOLD

The breast and arms were Silver. 

The belly and thighs were BRONZE

The Leggs were of IRON

The feet were of IRON AND CLAY

Which Daniel explained Gold is King Nebuchadnezzar. (Babylon) 626-539 BC) 

The rest will be the next kingdoms that come after him. 

Google tells me this, Chest and Arm of Silver was (Medo-Persia) (539-331 BC) 

Belly and Thighs of Bronze is Greece (331-168 BC)

Legs of Iron - Rome (168 BC-AD 476) 

Feet of Iron and Clay- Modern Europe (AD 476- Present Day) 

The Stone that breaks the statue into pieces- 

RETRUN OF JESUS Daniel 2;41 -43. 

Folks, I hope this makes sense to you. 

Jesus is coming back and are you ready? 

I have been seeing these billboards up around the area here. Just trying to get people to realize that He is coming back. 

JOHN 3:36 Plus Read John 14:6 

Think about it, even if you pass before He does come back, where are you going??? 

 

Have been having some troubles with the sprinkles.

Okay about two weeks ago, after our cold spell, I went to turn the sprinkles back on. But no water is flowing out. Thinking, maybe the pump it leaks inside, or not pumping at all. I took it to a guy (Ron French) he has been doing pumps over 40 years. I dropped it off and came back and he told me that there was nothing wrong with the pump itself. That is when I put in additional check valve. Thinking maybe the old check valve is leaking passed it. 

So, Ron told me to call him if that didn't fix the problem. He drove over and took a look; we started the pump up like three or four times. It started working. Must have been air in the system. Ron did say, it might stop working again. If so, we have a vacuum leak in the well line itself. 

So, I started digging around thew line to see what I needed to do. I was praying, Lord please don't let me kill this mango tree, (it's our best one) 

I got it all somewhat cleaned up and ready to install another line down inside the 2" steel well line. 

I had another 1 1/4" coupling from the time I replaced the new check valve. I just tried to see if that would go down into the pipe. NOT. Okay now what. Oh, buy a bell end on the new 1 1/4" PVC pipe. This way it should fit down inside. (not knowing they were the same size at the time) 

I went to Home Depot and bought 1 piece of scheduled 40 1 1/4" 10 foot, plus a couple more 1 1/4" coupling to put the pipe back together. Then drove over to Melrose Irrigation. Bought a 20' piece of bell 1 1/4" PVC. Strapped it the side of my truck. Got home and unloaded everything. 

Dropped the 20' down into the pipe. The bell is too big too. IT's the same size. I called Ron and asked about what should I do now? He told me that Horizon Irrigation carries a NESTING COUPLINGS. So, I drove over there and bought one Nesting 1 1/4" Coupling. At first the guy behind the counter didn't have a clue what I was asking for. Then I told him what I needed and why? He understood then. He told me it's called a TURNED COUPLING. Oh, okay, please that's what I need. 

The one on the left-hand side it the turned coupling. You can see it really does look like someone put it on a lath and turning it down. 

It fixed perfecting. I did pull all the 20' out of the steel pipe first. I tried to see if the couple would fit. YES. Then I cut tot bell off of the 20' pipe and glued the 20' and 10' together and slid it down the steel pipe and fittings great. 

I reglued everything back together and looks pretty good. 

Hey folks, I don't believe anything about being Friday the 13th. But today was the 13th. Praise the Lord. It all went to together. 

After caulking I thru some dirt on it and went and primed the line. Started it up. 

You can see it works and Praise God for people like Ron. I called him and told all is well. He told me I might have some other troubles down the road to give him and call, and he will see if he can help. 

Het everyone, Jesus Christ loves you and wants you to just talk to Him and He will answer your prayer. 

It might be WAIT, YES OR NO. Pretty much my answers are WAIT.

 Most of the time I WANT IT NOW. 

Please, I fall short every day. So, is if you are like me. 

KEEP SEEKING HIM, PLEASE
