With intrepidation

 It is with some of this that we will embark on a journey to immigration after the bridge game. The web site that I cannot log in to is, I believe, where I can update my metadata about address, marriage status, and more. I think access to this site is mandatory and I do not want to find the true usage of this site when I am in Ottawa rather than Zihua. We pray that the office will be as not busy today as it was last week when we got the temporary visa para mi.

We are then off to Bodega Aurora to get some as of yet undisclosed goods. I am sure I will be informed when the time is right. If what we end up getting is easily transportable, we will walk back to our place rather than cab it.

We lucked into finding a manual for the remote control for the Carrier air conditioners. I desperately looked for the manual searching for the model number of the unit on the wall. That did not go well. I checked the back of the remote and lo and behold ... a model number. Finding the manual, in English no less, turned out to be easy peasy. Whatever we set the A/C at when we retire (usually start at 23 celsius then move to 26 celsius just before we fall asleep. Whenever one of us happens to be up for a trip you know where in the middle of the night, the A/C is turned off as our room has turned into a fridge.

From the manual, using the timer function looks easy. Like many other tasks using 3rd party product manuals, this could end up baing a mission of complete inability to follow the instructions therein.

We were not alone when we went to immigration (INM). There were 2 pairs of people ahead of us. We only waited about 10 minutes. The agent we had spoken to last week told us the error message from the site we clicked to is meaningless and not to worry about it. Dominique also reminded me that if we need to change any data for the sake of what INM has on file, these changes would only be for something in Mexico. They do not care about any changes done outside of this country, e.g. change of address in Ottawa.

Nice start

 ... to a sunny day. Not sure what will end up going down the balance of the day, maybe a walk. There are three types of players that attend our online games ... Those who pester and pester me when they believe the score they have obtained on a board needs adjusting, then keep hounding me when they don't like my decision Those who politely ask me to have a look at their score on a board; I look and respond with my findings. Those who DEMAND I look at a board with something like Boars 8! For these people I am tempted to respond with either nothing or a comeback resembling Please have a look at Board 8 ... thanks! Played bridge early afternoon. Did not do well, but it was fun nonetheless. Can really tell we are leaving in five days ... stuff is flying out of here at a feverish pace. Mi chica is busy packing and I did a bit myself. Most of the packing I still have to do has to wait until the last minute ... lots of electronic crap naturally as well as wrapping some other stuff in plas...

Ooh what a lucky man

As so eloquently put by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in their 1970s song. I have been lucky so many times in my 74+ years on this planet. Some of the highlights ... the experience having four offspring and, to date, four grandchildren being in the right place at the right time, being Miami Beach in September 1990 for an Oracle user group conference that ended up sparking a torrid career in high tech discovery of high grade dysplasia, a precancerous diagnosis during a routine scope in 2013 that was arrested by a right hemicolectomy participating in the Canadian government's retraining program in 1983-84 that allowed me to take the four semester course at Algonquin College that kickstarted my ventures into high tech getting to know some folks from the Boston area that catapulted me into the Oracle Press publishing initiative with McGraw-Hill that led to the sale of hundreds of thousands of our/my books over a 15-year period having first-hand experiences in poor east Africa that put into...

Melt the seal ... time is here

Oh my ... how time flies. It seems like only yesterday that it was Wednesday. The place looks like someone is leaving in a few days. The mattress in bedroom #2 has been tood up with the mattress cover side pointing out. The first two kitchen chairs are parked on the cement couch in the L/R. Dominique will ask Paty to drop in after the bridge game Saturday so we can discuss the idiosyncrasies of looking after our place until our return. Doing the extended walk to the end of the canal path past Soris. We will pick up some shredded pork to make sandwiches for the flight(s) on Sunday. We are so close to the end of the line as far as getting the place ready. Other than the Fire TV sticks, the balance of the work involves moving stuff around and covering furniture. These will happen as late as possible on Saturday evening. Chicken for dinner tonight then the last two nights we will eat out. We have been very fastidious ensuring there is as little as possible left in the freezer by the evenin...
