End Of Weekend Update
The weekend has come and gone and at the moment I'm waiting for the electric company to come and install the second line for 240 volts to the house. It was back in April, as I consult the wayback machine, that the 'first' electrician knocked holes in the wall and generally made a mess of things, but as things tend to go in America Central there were- difficulties. The primary one being that I needed another electrician to complete and fix what the first one started.
My better half took a break from her used car salesman duties and came down from San Jose for a couple of days to add her signature to a couple of documents and preside over yet another inspection, and by all appearances it is a 'go.'
Daryl and his other brothers Daryl as per par didn’t make it yesterday to continue clearing the jungle out back. They stopped by last week while I was out front doing something or other and pretty much begged for work for the three of them. After showing them the yard and explaining to them what needed to be done we started back toward the front of the house and one brother espied the sink outside the back door. He approached it as if it was something he had heard about but never seen in person before. After consulting for a moment with Daryl, he twisted the valve, observed the water magically appearing for a moment, and proceeded to sate himself. If they ever do show up I promise photos, as you just can't make this stuff up.
Speaking of photos, on Sunday the little lady and I had fun watching and listening to the die hard drunks attempting the journey home. One in particular was having issues, and he made it as far as the front of my house before he gave up. His exasperated buddy finally left him there in the gutter.
The view from my front door through the plant. You can just see the blue on the other side.
Needless to say the side of the road isn't all it's cracked up to be as a resting place, yet our trooper was there for most of the day.
Around 2 or so our subject felt the call of nature through his dreams, and got up to wander to the other side of the road to answer. It was an epic journey with many false starts, but as we don't have all that much traffic here, he made it and proceeded to spend a good five minutes watering the ground on the other side. Having spent an evening or two in an equally intoxicated state it was amusing, but not surprising, when somewhere inside his cranium the command decision was made to take another nap right where he had just relieved himself.
That concludes our personal update and cultural broadcast for the day.
