I have to stop waking at 3am and fighting to sleep until 5am before I get up to walk the dogs.  I even took 5 dogs on a short walk last night to try to entice a longer sleep.
Around 9am this morning another door repairman came and we told him he was a little late, the door was already repaired by others who were a little more prompt.
This morning we met David, Wolf and Fabiola at Berthold's German Restaurant at 9:30.  Everything was going well until Cristina tried to hit them up for money to help her street dogs and cats.  Their refusal sent her into a tirade and she stomped off and sent them really nasty notes.  I am still waiting for some calm before trying to get her to apologize.  I am mildly hopeful of a positive result.
David had the information and address of the place to go get the pneumococcal vaccine so I got it done.  For under $40, it is good for five years, and I hardly felt it.  This is part of travel preparation as I don't want to be sick on my trip.  As I get closer to my Mar 11 fly day, I worry more and more about this new Coronavirus.  We can't wear masks and gloves everywhere...
Wolf had asked if I could take some pictures of him on his BMW bike near his home, so I did that next.  There was a washout area near his home that he thinks his friends may mistake for an exotic desert somewhere.  He also wants to use a photo for a special t-shirt that he wants to get made about Grandpas and motorbikes.  So I took the photos, came home, processed and cropped them all the way he wanted, put them on his memory stick and I brought it back to him.  We had a nice beer together.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

A glorious strong rain this morning negated not only the dog walk but the poop patrol as well.  It was like getting the morning off from the boss...  We have had a nice repite from the heat and it is welcomed.   I used the rain coming off the patio roof to clean several dirty items back there.  The only downside yo the rain is that our clean house does not stay clean long.
The aluminum guys that I had contacted came at noon and promised to come back.  I haven't seen them since.
I invited David for a pork cutlet lunch and a movie (Cool Hand Like from 1967) so we had a nice afternoon.  
Cristina also contacted a door guy and he came by to have a look at 1pm, promising an easy solution when he returns at 5pm.  It is after 5pm now and we haven't seen him yet.  I need that door fixed or I will have a heckuva time taking the car out....
I got a message from Aram that they made it to Bogota safely.  I keep pushing him to go to the Embassy and try to arrange his Visa interview for when they are there.  There is no sense in making 2 trips if they don't have to.  
Cristina's door guy came after 6pm, used mostly my tools, drilled out the old screws and installed larger, longer screws.  The door works!  I asked him how much and he said 10,000 pesos or about $3 USD, for 2 guys and 1/2 hour of work, never mind the earlier consult.  I happily paid them double and they were very pleased.

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