Ay yi yi yi

 Internet was down, again. At least the power was on so I didn't melt in this horrible humid heat. 

Not to leave you empty handed, here are a few memes....














































I took advantage of the downtime today and went to my favorite lumberyard in Huacas. I needed some wood for bench seats on my front porch  I bought teak and they tied it to the roof of the SUV. Pura vida.


Peace.
