Upper Chula Vista <---

The installers just finished. A professional job. 30 mbps down, 26 up on WiFi. Now if its reliable I can dump my 900 peso a month iLox. SunFan

Interesting. Telmex just knocked on my door to ask if I wanted to have fiber installed. I said yes because I was still paying for their service. They're working on it now. I had switched to iLox 3 years ago because all Telmex offered in Upper Chula Vista was twisted pair and abismal download speed. Lets see if their speed is comparable to iLox. SunFan

Don't forget the IVA. The real cost is over 8%. SunFan

Emile Badawy was a great person. Loved by all. His passing is a major loss to the Lake Chapala Society where he served as volunteer finance manager for fourteen years. He will be sorely missed and long remembered. SunFan

From experience I'm not big on Mexican appliances. I suspect they're built to lesser standards than NOB and Europe. Six years ago we bought a top-of-the-line Whirlpool front loading washer/dryer set from Tio Sam. After two years the washer threw an error code indicating the circuit board was toast. Out of warranty after one year of course. Whirlpool technications two two months to agree on the problem. We were taking our clothes to the local laundry. Whirlpool could not source a replacement computer. For over 5,000 pesos the best they could do was install a circuit board from an older model that lacked 4 of the newer cycles. In future i would buy from Costco where at least you get more than a taillight guarantee. SunFan

Not us Leafs fans.....too painful. SunFan

Back to the original question..... We bought a top end Mabe gas stove and kept it three years before we replaced it. In fact threw it in the trash. It had no insulation so was inefficient and the exterior got so hot we had to use a towel to work the controls. Their engineers cleverly put all the control knobs on the top, front. After a month some of the button controls popped out on the floor from the heat. The final straw was when the outer glass door on the oven exploded and showered my legs with pieces of glass. SunFan

Its too hot here. I actually perspired in the shade yesterday afternoon. SunFan

"They've realized that COVD isn't that bad." An unbelievably callous comment to the wives, husbands, children of the million that died in America and millions more worldwide. SunFan

June 14th would be my guess. SunFan

I agree. Many foreigners I speak to have an inflated opinion of how much impact and significance they have in Mexico. Keep motoring and keep your head down.. SunFan

For some unknown reason traffic was great today - Weds. Around 10:30 AM I sailed past the five lights at Superlake and Walmart, drove through La Floresta and was only stopped briefly at the Tianguis. I shoulda bought a lottery ticket! SunFan

I just have her email - yolym.ll62@hotmail.com SunFan

You might phone the LCS. They used to sell stamps in the office. SunFan

A concession agreement between the Frac and the Municipal government is a contract that stipulates the Municipality agrees to concede provision of services such as street lighting, water and garbage collection to the Frac. The Municipality of course continues to tax properties for services they no longer have to provide. Neat eh. SunFan

Very powerful. Thank you. My father-In-law, who was a second father to me, suffered from a calcified esophagus after radiation cancer treatment twenty years before. He couldn’t stand a feeding tube. After consultation with his Priest, He booked himself into an Ottawa hospital and stopped eating until he died. The memory haunts me still. May I die a more peaceful, and managed death. SunFan

I wish I had that issue. These days I find the 500 peso notes fly out of my hands at Walmart, Superlake and most restaurants we dine at. SunFan

Well that clearly explains the intelligence of my Beagle. The lights are on but there's nobody home. SunFan

Yes, I've used NEXGUARD on our two dogs for the past four years with good results. Between food, Vet visits, grooming and flea meds, dogs are expensive members of the family......but worth it to me. SunFan

Solar hot water heating is probably the best investment given the cost of propane. I would guess the payback is well less than two years. We put in 22 panels @ 240 watts ten years ago along with solar hot water. We then gradually switched out all our gas appliances (except the BBQ and pizza oven) for electric. My Northern friends are in disbelief when I tell them I spend 25 pesos a month for electricity (with a pool and landscape lighting) and 2,000 pesos annually for propane and it will only get better with AMLO at the helm.

Yes. Horrible Chat service. Spent 20 minutes convincing them I was a legitimate subscriber. SunFan

With Mike Riley gone I need help installing ExpressVPN on my NetGear V6700V3 router. Can anyone recommend a tech specialist who can help? TIA SunFan

Damn, I was just going to sit down and watch the game I recorded last night. I've been avoiding sports news all morning and now Pedro gets me with a body check. SunFan

I agree (not with the moral part). I've never had a repair done but their sales service and product selection is first rate. A go-to store. SunFan
