On the road again. Yes I am.


I got up on Wednesday morning and took a ride. Yes I need my fix before I get to the job site. 



This is the Halo Rescue No Kill Shelter in Sebastian. This is the place I brought Max, about four months ago, my old cat. He was taken good care of and they found him a nice new home. Over all I really did like the way they do this place. 

As I was driving I kept on looking over to the Inter Coastal to see about the waves. The reason was that day a friend of mine was going out in her boat. To go fishing. I was concern about the winds and waves. She told me that it was a beautiful day to take the boat out. I think she told me that her and her grand son caught some nice looking fish that day. 


Well this is Reine's home in Satelite Beach. It is about 70 miles north of me. Well the reason I am here is, she would like to take the sink and toilet out and put in all new. 
Mean while when I was pulling into town we meet at Home Depot to buy the things she wanted. 


First thing, pulled out the vanity and medicine cabinet. 


As I measured the new cabinet, I see the electric outlet needs to be brought down about 4 " 



I was thinking get the hard job done first and this way the rest should flow pretty easy. 
I filled the hole and cracks with joint compound. Now let it dry and we will need to put something else over this area. 


Got the new toilet in and even painted behind the tan before I put it in. 






Now hook up the faucet an hoses. Drop the top on and checked it out to make sure where she wants it setting. She came in and helped me put the Liquid Nail on and set it in place. So during the night it would harden up and be in place the next morning. 


 Okay I got up an drove over to McDonald's and got a breakfast and large ice coffee. 
The day is going to be great. 
Now we took like three more trips to Home Depot to get this and that. It was only 6 miles away. But we should be in good shape now. 


We bought these tile the night before to see how they would work out. I think they are great and she likes them too. That is all that counts, what she wants. 
hey the customer is happy all it good. 



This is in the other bathroom. Her master bathroom. She wants to put in newt light and mover the two cabinets down about 8" 


She did buy two new lights for the hallway and the entrance at the front door. Got both them in pretty easily. 


Had to build up the wall behind the cabinets to make sure they are flesh with the tile. 



We went out and bought some tile nippers. This way I could trim and tile where I needed is cut off. To fit in the electric outlet box cover. 


Now I have a dilemma. How do I get this together???? 
I guess I need to go to Home Depot one more time???? 


As I looking out the back window I saw this beautiful beast standing there. 


This is Reine's grand son's dog. But you can see how much smaller he is compared to great dame. 

At the end of the day everything is done. Plus like I said before, if she is happy all is good. 







Okay one more trip to Home Depot for the P trap. 





Where she lives you need to take three bridges over to the main land to get to Home Depot. 


I had to buy all new stuff. It all works great and all is well. 



This is the front of her new house. 

On my way home again. Made a couple of bucks and looking forward in getting back into my own bed again. 
I am almost caught up here. The blog to date. 
I really just want to say Thank you Lord for another great year and look forward in seeing what He has planned out for this next one. 
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL. 
He (Jesus) loves and I do too.

This is the week-end before Christmas




I am not sure where I took these pictures, but she sure is a beautiful looking machine. 
I left Saturday morning to drive over to my cousin's home, in Winter Haven. I got there and we needed to go get some groceries. Guess where??? That is correct Wall- Mart this day is called the crazy day for shopping. The last Saturday before Christmas. 




It was fairy busy. hey we were standing in line. One of the cashier asked if we were checking out? Sure are. Her and a couple of other staff checked us out near jewelry desk. 
That was a nice surprise.
Got back to her house and cooked our Christmas dinner. 


This is my cousin Bonita. We had a wonderful dinner and even watched a couple of Christmas movies. 


At the end of the evening I said my good byes and time for bed. 


Got up early in Sunday and started driving back home. Boy it sure was foggy. 
But make it home and did a couple of small jobs for a guy named Larry. Relax the rest of the day and then went over to a friend's house and took a drive around her neighborhood. 





The pictures really did show how nice everything was. So now I am some what in the Christmas mood. 
Over all He has been so good to me and I just need to remember all He has done for me and what is ahead in my life.
 Praise HIM today as you go to church. 
This is what this whole season is a bout Jesus Christ.

It is so nice to be home again.

 My sunrise since I got back. 



This is Friday and I am at the tennis courts loving it. Every muscle ache and pain are being worked out. Feeling great after wards.


I stopped off at the Up Store. I remember these when I was a little kid. My grandma always had theses. 


I can imagine we all need this down here?
Not sure why they would even carry this?
Maybe they know something that we don't??? 


I have am trying to get into the Christmas Spirit still. So I went and saw this. I really did enjoy it. 
It is nothing like the real nutcracker. I don't think so. I have never seen the original. I might be wrong?





It was really nice to see some folks at the mall here. Hey it is Christmas time. 



This one window was set up to show about Dodger Town in Vero here. 
This is where their minor leagues and spring training baseball teams started at. They use this facility for many years. 
Someone just put a bunch of money into this park and they are going to make it great again. I heard it is going to be a all facility for baseball, lacrosse, football, softball, swimming, crew rowing and rugby. They are trying to make this place great again. 
I really didn't know that this place had all this? 



Yes here is Santa Claus. The children look like they are really enjoying their time here. 


This is a new Christian cafe' It looks like a real nice place and well decorated.




I am not sure but I think this is called Oceans Cafe' plus I think they have a book store and even a church here? I think? 

I in the front there were folks entertaining us with Christmas Songs and just very relaxing area to sit. 
Well The next couple of blogs will get us up to date prayerfully. 
I think this is Friday Dec. 14th. ?
