Wednesday and Thursday, February 10th & 11th, 2mil10

Ross wanted me to let everyone know that our projector is up and running and he loves it! He has already invited a few friends over for a movie and wings night this Saturday. We had it up and running outside last night, using our white wall for a screen, we watched True Lies, great movie! We are hoping to use our projector for movie nights in Bucerias and hopefully we can either borrow or rent the screen that Korsario’s had in the restaurant, it’s in storage since they closed down.
Yesterday (Wednesday) we did a lot of cleaning, the front yard is now free and clear of all Ross’s junk (pressure washer, old air conditioner, battery charger, shoes, dog poop scooper, etc………) I washed it down and put some plants out front, all we need to do now is move the scooters to the back yard and the front will look great! Now I just have to figure out where to put everything I put in the backyard! I really have to get organized!

Handyman came yesterday, as per usual at 3:30, and got our ceiling in the kitchen and the band room ready for painting. He scraped off all the peeling paint, cleaned the roof with bleach then put a putty on called stuko (not how it’s spelled, I don’t think anyway, its how the word sounds), today he is going to sand then paint. Hopefully the paint will stick this time since our roof is cemented and stuff.
I had one hell of a time with Telmex yesterday. About a month ago I phoned them to let them know that our modem for our internet has been cutting in and out, dropping our signal. They said there was a problem on the line and they will fix it. I called about 2 weeks later asking why it hasn’t been fixed yet, they told me I needed a new modem and someone will be out to install it. The modem came a couple of days later through DHL but no one came to install it, soooooooooooooooooo, I called yesterday asking when someone will be out and the guy I talked to said no one will be out he will help me over the phone. The only problem I had with that is that I needed to unplug the phone to change the filter and I’d lose the call. He said no problem, just call back, so I changed the filter and called back and talked to someone else. He said I didn’t need a new modem the problem was in the line. Aaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggggggggg!!! I called back one more time and ended up with the same guy I was talking to that was going to help me with setting up the modem and he read the note the other guy wrote and told me we don’t need a new modem. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggg again!!! I gave up.Today when Ross was talking with his Mum the internet cut out and it looked like maybe they were working on it, (sigh) I don’t know. I think I might have to give up.

Today Ross is out trying to find a cable that was supposed to be with our new projector, but of course wasn’t, I think it is to connect the TV with the projector, but I wasn’t really listening to Ross when he told me so I may be wrong. Every time he talks about his audio video gear I kinda faze him out. I’m dubbing more VHS tapes, I will be doing this until I’m 90 I think, gosh we have a lot of home movies and stuff on tapes that we want to keep, like Ross’s boat tape called Thunder Boats!!!

Well I think I might go have a nap, I was up way too early and we are going to Nelly’s tonight so it will be a late night. Hope everyone has a great day!
