Tuesday March 13, 2018
We went out early again to get a few more critical items as I have very little time left here.
Some of yesterday's purchases were delivered last night and we got all the rest this afternoon.
I went overboard on buying some electrical stuff and several power bars, even though I have to snap off the ground prong because every outlet in the house is only 2-prong. That is just the reality of living here.
Today we also bought a portable air-conditioner for about $250 and one of those foam chairs that can unfold into a single bed.
I got the new DVD to work but had to change the hookup for the Movistar box to HDMI to be able to accomplish that, and it worked....
Then I tackled the air-conditioner setup with the window exhaust. Not bad at all but we had an "uh-oh moment" when it decided to quit after just a few minutes. I checked the connections and almost burned my hand on the cheap-ass power bar cord that I attempted to use. I changed it to a much better power bar that had just arrived and everything is A-OK.
Then I installed the new microwave/broiler in the new microwave tower, hooked up a powerbar for that corner, and put the fancy coffeemaker up above for later use. I am only here 2 more days.
Then it was the office chair that needed assembly with sketchy instructions but luckily I had done many before and was able to manage alright.
Next was the turbofan and again I did OK because of previous experience. What I don't have is the stamina, especially in this blasted heat.. 91F again today and the low will be 69F. Believe me, I am praying for rain to cool things down a bit. Gorgeous days here, just too blasted hot. I am sure that we will enjoy the air-conditioner tonight. I am just beat.

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