  1. When you compare time differences between Canada and the US, remember that there are 3 or 4 time zones in the US. For example, Seattle is now only one hour different than the time here lakeside. It was two hours until today, when the changed their clocks by one hour.
  2. Using a 40 foot in diameter satellite dish I'm getting an OK signal. But nothing special.
  3. Trouble is, my solar panels are on strike and not generating enough electricity. Now if we could only get it to rain at night and have the sun out in the day. .
  4. I just opened my back door and noticed that the outdoor concrete entrance was slightly wet and when I walked upside, I could feel a very light rain hitting my forehead. I was shock, came here online and saw that I wasn't the only one experiencing this rain. I hope we get a little more. The lake level sure could use a little to quite a bit of rain. I just hope we don't get too much. May we all have a wet night, outdoors that is. Please check for any window or door that should be closed. I'm in upper Ajijic and just checked the Ajijic weather station webpage. They don't show any rain as of today. Have a good night Pete. .
  5. be careful. Shaw is upgrading to better focused satellites with their signals focused on Canada. The old satellites' which used to reach Mexico are being replaced by these new satellites which do not reach Mexico. So, within a month or three, no more Shaw Direct signals will be teaching Mexico. Time to consider streaming over the internet.
  6. I too go to ajijicweather.com several times per day and have not had any problems reaching them in many days, or maybe months. I just don't remember having any problems as long as I could get online.
  7. I'm just checking. I have had no activity. And want to create at least one post
  8. I got my latest Pfizer Covid shot and the latest flue shot, along with some shot for something called KPR or something like that, 10 days ago in Seattle and am feeling just great. No, I didn't get Covid any time after a Covid shot, although I did catch it several years ago after flying from Guad to Seattle and being exposed to many passengers. Who knows, maybe I was just lucky or maybe the quality of my shots was better. Who knows.
  9. What I found interesting was that when I used to bring my US born dog down in the 90s, about how scared he became during the firecracker season. Yet today my Mexican born rescue dogs don't seem to be scared at all. I wonder how common that is. What has your experience been?
  10. I bet you could stream it over the high-speed internet.
  11. Thanks for sharing, say I from sunny Seattle for a few more days, (yes, I know, it's almost never sunny in Seattle in the winter). Let's hope that the US dollar continues to get stronger. I would love to see 20 to 1 again.
  12. Remember that Shaw Direct has announced that we will be losing the last of their signals by about March. They have invested in lower powered and better focused satellites that still provide a strong signal to Canada but will not be losing energy letting signals leak as far south as Mexico. one techy suggested, with a smile on his face, that we could probably still get the signal with a 30 foot satellite dish. So I guess Shaw Direct will soon no longer be an option in Mexico.
  13. The only nonstop flight between GDL and Seattle was and perhaps still is, Volaris. So, I tried them several years ago. It was not an enjoyable experience.
  14. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful.
