I sincerely hope Bella and her bridge gang are kicking some
butt up there in Banos-Ambato.
I was awake early again so I did chores and uploads again
for 3 hours before crashing for a while in the recliner.
The weather was a little dismal early on but it really
brightened up to be a magnificent day in the afternoon. I was determined to get outside and walk
while I shopped for a couple of items so I caught the #15 up to the cementario
(yes this is spelled correctly). Since
this was in my intended shopping area I wanted to give the new lens a workout
and it did not disappoint. The crisp
images received from this new lens made the investment worthwhile so I hope you
enjoy the photos today.
I walked over to the nearby Mercado and found what I hoped
would be a 3V adapter for my new cordless headphones. The box was not marked and the guy assured
me it was 3V but later discovered it was 4.5V and did not quite fit anyway. My other purchase was to find RCA audio
cable splitters so I could connect my sound system and the cordless headphones
simultaneously, since they shared the same jack. I tried every little electrical shop at this
Mercado and every shop on the way back home.
Victoria ,
the electronics store didn’t have it at Monay but Coral did, so my trip was 50%
successful, and I did get my good walk today.
On the way I spotted a gorgeous 1937 Buick in a repair shop
above our old rental place. Gosh it
would be such a treat to own such a classic car.
They were working on new power lines at several poles along
Gonzalez Suarez. The linemen were
scrambling up these concrete poles with these metal and rubber friction
contraptions on their feet that looked so awkward but genuinely effective. The safety harness was dangling at their side
and I never saw one of them in use….
There is a new hairdresser in our block who opened up about
4 doors down so I decided to get my ears lowered by her. It looks good for now so we will see how long
that lasts. It cost $2.
I noticed that the tree immediately in front of our home has
a new growth of leaves while other species of tree to the right are almost
bare, taking their turn at the winter moulting.
We find it amazing that they go through this process even though the
weather hardly changes, although the nights get cooler at this time of year
here.
I threw all my clothes in the laundry and caught Pancho to
give him a scrub-down with a hair brush mitt because he is shedding too
much. I want to hold him but his hair is
everywhere if we try to pet him.
Since I had had a very late lunch I will be having a late
supper then enjoy another shoot-em-up movie with Bruce Willis…
That was the day's
excitement, Cheers, Al
