Wednesday-Thursday September 27-28, 2017
Wednesday I took the computer in when TecMarket opened and discussed again what I wanted. I decided on a cleaning, bumping up to 8Gb of Ram, replacing all my existing peripheral entries (USB, Card Readers, etc) and adding 4 more USB ports.
Then I had all day to play with updating all kinds of things on my laptop which I hardly use.
I went back around 4pm because Pablo said the computer was ready and when they proffered the bill, which was way too low, I knew something was missed,... they forgot the extra USB ports... So I had to leave it there so they could get the part in from Quito overnight (none available in Cuenca) and they promised the computer would be ready in the morning. While I was at it, I bought a new optical mouse.
Thursday was booked solid, starting with another meeting with Dr Ana Zhapan with my Ultrasound results. She nixed any more ventures with 5 dogs or my shoulder would never heal (I knew that). She checked and the Gabapent is apparently not available for 2 more weeks. I told her that the Gabapent only helps me sleep, nothing else, and the Lyrica does not seem to do anything. She ordered 2 more 20-day sessions of physio (2 more months). I went to organize the physio sessions right away, hoping to get them early in the mornings. I struck out right away when the first Physiotherapist only works 10:30 to 3:30 so I had to come back later and was stuck with 11am starting Tuesday-Saturday.... The second bout turns out to be with my buddy Diego again, third time with him and I was not encouraged when it sounds like I am going to get the same regimen of treatments I got before which were not very effective.
Then I went to get the computer, brought it home and hooked up eveything to the new USB ports at the rear. I tested a few things and got caught up and had to run again.
I was meeting Irwin Sellinger, formerly from New York, who is also friends with Mike & Lotis. We had very interesting conversation during our late lunch at the Black Angus (my first time there). We concentrated mostly on his very successful medical supply business. He is looking for a greater online and social media presence but I had already told him that my experience in those ares is pretty rudimentary. Irwin said the burgers were big and delicious and there was no need to go for the double-burger so I took his advice, but I also ordered onion rings on a lark. The burger was decidedly good (for $7) as were the accompanying fries, but I never did see any onion rings...
Then I zipped over to my partner George's apartment to pick up more flyers for our Hallowe'en dance. I can spread them around easily too.
Then I went to find Jennifer of Grits Catering for a commercial photo gig. Her business advisor wants her to have a bigger online presence as well with photos of the work in progress. Three hours later I was trying to stay awake on the trip home. I will process those photos tomorrow. You will have to content yourselves with some sunrise pics from yesterday morning, almost like the chinook clouds we got in Alberta...

I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day’s excitement.
