Jet family must be going against the grain somewhere.....
After the wedding, I bought the father a new 15HP engine for the fishing pumboat, as the old one had been re-bored several times and was dangerous to use.
He didn't ask for it, I just did it because i felt I wanted to help in some way.
A few months ago, they changed the fishing regulations around Cebu, so there was no chance for them to travel and fish outside their immediate area, which is Talisay....
Apart from the very poor fishing, he had one of his 2 boats, confiscated for straying over one of the invisible borders....
So before something nasty happened to the other one, he asked for my permission to sell the engine.
I told him that it was not my engine, as his name was on the bill of sale, and that it belonged to him....
Yesterday Jet informed me, that with the 20k, he received for the engine, he has had a well dug in the back garden,and got loads of fresh water, thus making everybody around there and his Mrs quie jealous, so they don't need to buy those big bottles anymore.
Also they finally have running water in the toilet/shower house that Jet has had built before she arrived here....
And as a bonus he will build a couple of washing tanks, and charge the neighbours for washing their clothes there....
Very neat trick, I thought....
Canna grumble.....
