The Adventures of Bexico, Bubba y Max: viernes, el 10 de mayo de 2013

Buenos noches!!

That sound you hear is padre letting out a deep breath!! Tough end to the day and it was all because Max was pooped after a long day, and we might have pushed it when we went out to celebrate Día de las Madres.

Yup, here in Mexico, 10 de mayo is Mother’s Day!! I didn’t mention it before, so max and I could keep it a secreto from madre, and this morning Max surprised her with a nice Hallmark e-card and some new fotos for her oficina.

Even though Max was “spirited” during la cena, it was a good meal at Krystal Rose. He was not a happy tina camper, so we made that a fast bath time and off to bed.

Currently 815pm and we are a little behind schedule, madre has the first bedtime shift and I am hoping the lil’guy is lights out when I take over in 15 minutes!!

As for our day, normal start and normal AM rutina…but not a huge desayunos.

Home at 1030am from our 2^nd prowl and right before 11am, the lil’man started his siesta. And of course 11am is when our 2 repairmen were due.

But as is the usual here in Mexico, neither were on time. The electrician arrived at noon and the plomero at 1230pm with nary un lo siento.

$400 pesos and an hour or so later, the plomero was out the door. As for the electrician, $400 and 2 hours later, he was out the door and will be returning (maybe) on miercoles around 8am or 830am or 9am.

He fixed the speed on one ceiling fan and replaced the light chains on 2 fans, only to have me break the one chain the moment I used it.

He was not upset, but reminded me to pull the chain out and not down. I told him I knew this and had done it correctly and he gave me the loo of “ya right”.

He fixed the lamp again and when he gave the cable a tug…he broke it and I laughed long and hard!!

Crappy part (el cheapo) and the decision was to attach the light to a proper switch and that will be done (maybe) el miercoles proximo.

So, a busy day here in the condo.

After all the trabajadores left, madre y Max had lunch and then off to the playa, and padre hit the gym.

Not the best session as I was pooped, so home for some R&R and then a siesta de gato antes la cena. Yup, a cat nap before dinner.

830pm…wish me luck.

850pm and I am happy to report that the lil’man was in his cuna and lights out!! Back to updating the blog, watching the News and huh…2 more loads of wash?

855pm…phew, just a lil’man bad dream…all is well.

So after the nap, la cena, some play time in the parque and then home and you are all caught up.

Fotos.

Not the camioneta verde, but it will do. The boys tell me that this is a new truck, 3 months old, and it already has 25k km on it.

He came out of this inspection not as clean as he went in.

Just prowling.

Side street off calle Carrizal. The hombre on the left is sharpening a knife on his machine, the first tienda sells pescado and the one behind that, was a very busy florería...flower shop.
