March 4th Thursday
Today we went to the History Club at the Hacienda de los Santos. It’s always interesting & we see some old friends & meet new ones.
We made reservations for the Sunday academy award show at Hacienda de los Santos. The $22 each will include the big screened theatre & lots of special hors d’oeveres…..
(yeah, well, if u can spell it better without a dictionary..good luck) ……throughout the many hours of the Red Carpet, The Awards & the Barbara Walters show afterwards….IF we can stay awake that long. If not, we’ve recorded it all on our DVR @ home & will be able to watch it on our SlingBox tomorrow or whenever.
Tonight just at dusk Joey flicked up the switch in the master bedroom’s closet & poof….lights went out, computer went off. It was very strange because one hallway & the kitchen, dank gawd, were working. At least the fridge & the freezer with the fish & angus burgers wouldn’t spoil.
We DID bring flashlights so we’d be ok for the night…except the electric blanket wouldn’t be able to help keep us warm.
We said to hell with it & got in the car to go visit Jayne & Mike but their gate was all locked up. Maybe the went back to AZ early.
At that point Joey said we should stop by Nacho’s house. He’s an excellent plumber as well as an electrician. We know he’s working full time on two big jobs already but thought what the heck.
He was just sitting down to dinner when Joey knocked on his door. He said he’d finish his dinner & be by in 20 minutes. He was. It was dark now so he did all of his checking by flashlight. Within a half hour he found a short in the electrical box & was able to fix it. There’s more to it but I don’t feel like typing it all here. The fix could last ok for a very long time….or not.
Nacho charged only 100 pesos about $12.50 usd.
We were really lucky to get him because he told us his other two jobs are keeping him completely tied up during the daytime.
Changing the subject: I see that somebody keyed a big scratch along the whole side of our car. Ah nice!
These two experiences truly show why I have a love/hate relationship with Mexico!
