What a day……………………..I have to go back to before we left though. When we left we didn’t have our CFE (power) bill or our Telmex bill yet so we paid CFE what we normally pay and paid Telmex in full. Today we wake up to someone pounding on our back gate, it was CFE putting a lock on our electric meter, and we have been shut off! NO POWER to run our fans, TV, internet, fridges, water cooler, etc, etc, etc! Yuck!!!

Ross ran down to pay the amount owed, 142 pesos (14 bucks) then ran all around Bucerias on his scooter to find a CFE truck to get them to turn it back on……………do ya think he can find one…………….NO of course not, that would have been too easy. Now what do we do, the guy said we will be lucky to have it turned on tomorrow it will probably be Monday. Now you have to realize it is a zillion degrees outside with the humidity at 200%, it’s flippin’ hot!!! And we don’t have any air flow.

Off to Home Depot to see how much their generators are. We have been talking about getting one since last summer but never did get around to it, so since we need one NOW we thought we would try Home Depot first. Believe it or not they don’t carry generators so off to Sam’s Club, they had one just at the right price, it would have been nice to get a little bit bigger one (we got the 5000), but now that it is running, it is doing what we need it to do, but boy is it noisy, we stuck it in the outside bathroom to have a little more quiet.

We got one of the car wash guys to help us put it in the car, then we went to AutoZone to get the correct sticky stuff to put the rear view mirror back on. Just as we were about to leave the 200 our exhaust pipe burst open so now we sound like a truck, the trials and tribulations of our lives right now. We still don’t know if Betsy passed her inspection, I have an email into Pam to see what happened.

We are now sitting with fans blowing and my office light on the table to see, it’s 8:30pm and we, I think are ready for bed. Ed never did call to come over to check on my scooter and Ross called him about the exhaust pipes, maybe mañana.

I think that’s it for today, we are laying low.

Ross Kim and Critters being very hot!
