Wednesday was a great day to help others out. Plus made a couple of bucks too.



This is my neighbor's home, Brenda. I heard Jon, (her boy friend) out on the side of the house. He was talking to someone, it was not God. He was trying to put the shutters on her house. Well I just stopped over to see what all the noise was about. Found out the rail that hold the top of the shutter in. It needs some bending out a little. So got my channel lock pliers, and did a little pulling in it. Hey we ended up bending everyone of them. But the shutters are up and she is ready for HURRICANE IRMA. Maybe the next time they will just slide in?


As the hurricane is getting closer. The people are getting a little more aggressive, attitude. We got a truck load of water in yesterday afternoon. Around 1 pm. I am not sure how much. But I saw ad least 15 pallets Now these are all different brands and shapes. Pallets of gallons. and then different small bottles. 
So I was picked to be the Water Czar. That means I would bring the pallet of water out, near the back door of the store. Then while the people came up I would ask one or two case? There was a couple of them saying WHY only two cases. I explained, we want to make sure everyone has ad least a case. So it was a little challenging. But it was kinda of fun too. Most folks were just happy to get a couple of cases. 


In less than 45 minutes I went thru three pallets. I told Robert (store manger) that I needed to get going at 2 pm. He understood and he was very happy I show up. The reason I say that is. I called him on Tuesday and asked if I could take the day off? He asked me, Please come in. So I went in for 4 hours. 
I got home and Roy pulled up and we went out and put up shutter until dark. 





This is Maria's home. Medal shutters. 




This is Danielle's house. She has clam shells and wood shutter. 





The last house for Tuesday was Dianne's house. She is in Texas now, working. So she called me and asked to do a couple of things for her. Pull down her clam shells. Clean the refrigerator out and take all the glass tables and tv out of the Florida room. Then put them in the living room for now. 
At the end of the day, I believe Roy was just as tired as I was. 
Now as I am sitting here, I am making up a list of what to to happen today. I know of 3 house so far., want their shutter put up. 
I just looked at the weather channel and it is not looking to good for the Bahamas.
 PLEASE KEEP THEM IN PRAYER.  They are the next to be visited by HURRICANE IRMA.
