  1. Well that means we need a definition of what the beginning of the rainy season consists of, like we get every year. I always forget what we all define as the beginning of the rainy season. you know, how many days with and without rain to define the date :) 

     

    And Maincoons, you're the man who knows the definition by heart.   :)

  2. When it comes to Telmex, I think it all depends on the quality of the copper line and connections between your home and the Telmex office. I am up at the top of the hill and a few blocks to the West of Telmex in Ajijic. And I have excellent service, with speeds varying from around 25 MB/Sec during the day when everyone else is on line and up to 45 MB/Sec during quiet periods. I am very satisfied with their service.

     

  3.  I'm glad to hear the good news. I am sure many of us remember the old days when things did not run as smoothly.

    Oh, my copper Telmex landline has always been good in comparison to my neighbors. These days when very few folks are online, late at night, I can get up to 45 MB/second on my landline. However, during the busy day, my speeds are closer to 25 to 35 MB/second.

  4. Boy did that spam slow things down. There is almost no action here or on the other forum. Oh well, everything with get back to normal in a day or three.

    I have been following the weather page for Ajijic and Chapala for the last few days. And boy is it hot down there. Well the rainy season will be there soon and I can return from Seattle to Ajijic in a month or two.

    Keep cool and stay out of the sun :)

  5. I'm watching the TV program on HGTV up here in Seattle at 8:30 Ajijic time via the satellite system provided to the tenants in the 33 story condo I live in when up north. It is on channel 229 on DirecTV.  It makes me homesick. Now if I could only finish my 2022 taxes and turn the paperwork over to my CPA. I already have an extension, so I am not trouble for being late.

  6. ibarra. Years ago I used to get teased about the picture that i was then using and am still using. They said I should have used a more up to date picture than I was using. So rather than change the picture, I added 20 or 30 years to my age.  I'm only 38 or is that 83. I can't remember :) 

     

    What I do remember is that the picture I used was really me, at one time, maybe when I first arrived lakeside in the 90s. And of course I was much younger when that picture was taken, than today.

  7. Telmex does not charge for a call to a local number anywhere in the US. However, should you only know the toll free for Americans 800 number when in Mexico, Telmex charges for the US long distance call via a US toll free 800 number.  Remember other toll-free prefixes include 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888, are treated the same.

  8. I live in upper Ajijic where we seem to have fewer electrical outages than in Ajijic central. When it does go out, my solar backup system is a Godsend.

    All I can say, is go solar. Get yourself a solar panel system and if it makes sense, a power backup system, with solar the primary source when the sun is out but perhaps a battery backup electrical source, if that is practical for outages when there is little or no sun available.

  9. I thought you guys were full of it when you were suggesting it might rain today. Well I was wrong. In upper Ajijic, at the top of Jaurez and toward the west.

    Yes it rained rather hard but for a very short time. My rain gauge felt wet to the touch, but there was too little rain to measure anything. Well, at least, it is a little cooler out. Cool enough to get a good nights sleep :)
