Today was definitely a good day. We got up, put on our best rags, and headed off for immigration. We arrived early and one of the officers was sitting on the step waiting to get in. We spoke with him and he informed us we were early enough to go have breakfast. There were several places to eat along the promenade.One of which was also a bakery that turned out to have very good omelets. After eating we went back to immigration. Upon our arrival we discovered that many people had arrived in our absence, but they had not brought out the waiting list to sign yet. They brought it out after about fifteen minutes and we signed in. After about twenty minutes they called our name and luck was with us, we got the big guy. Oh, he's the best one, happy, friendly and speaks English. He looked over our papers that Judy had prepared, and declared them "perfecto." That's when I first knew this would be a good day. Every thing went smoothly and we were sent to the bank to pay the fees. When we returned to Immigration for the second time there were even more people waiting. This time it was not so fast, but still went smoothly. We accomplished the FM3 application in record time.
On our way back we stopped at Marina De La Paz to find the refrigeration man that failed to show up the day before. After locating him (Roger Wise) in an art class/group, we made arrangements for him to come over at one. While waiting I flushed out the watermaker and removed the faulty hose. Roger arrived and found/ repaired the leak. As he tried to remove his gauges he discovered a valve was stuck partially open and he couldn't remove his hose without vacating the whole system. Great, if he does that I lose all the freon. It did work out after a bit of opening and closing the valve. The system is now as good as new. It will freeze ice cream as hard as a rock, if you so desire. After he left, Judy and I walked to Parker Hose where they made up a new high pressure hose for the water maker. I will install it tomorrow. Judy fixed the keyboard on the laptop. It now functions very well and in English, too! So, all in all I guess it wasn't a good day after all. It was a "great day."

Damn, you must have partied hardy last night Steve. Posting at midnight? The only reason we got through Imigration so easy was due to your help and we both thank you very much. You and Lulu have been great friends!
ReplyDeleteI'm installing the transducers for the Interphase sonar today, stop by if you aren't busy. Think I might have to use that nasty 5200. Tell Lulu we still have some chocolate covered granola bars....Mmmmm!
