Last night I went to bed at 10pm, slept through the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:45am.

It’s still raining at 8am which is a little unusual. I’m going to give it until 8:30 and if it’s still raining, I’ll just do a few in-house exercises with my dumbbell.

At 8:30 there was still a light drizzle so I completed a few exercises with my dumbbell, took my shower, dressed and left the apt at 9:15. There were still a few raindrops as I walked to Ganso y Castor. I had a latte while going through my Chess Life magazine.  A squirrel took my peanut before I was ready but at least my camera settings are back to normal and I figured out how to turn off the 2-second delay.

I left at 11:15 and there was no more rain as I returned to the apt.

As soon as I walked through the door, I remembered I needed to buy milk. Teresa added a couple more things and I went next door to Ara. I bought a bag of milk and head of lettuce (but forgot the broccoli) and returned to the apt.

I moved the Movistar router from behind a chair to give it a more direct route to the TV and computer. My Amazon 4K Fire Stick is connected to Terry Plus (5Ghz) but today my speed test showed only 59.21 Mps. It also said, “Based on your latest speed test results, your internet speed can support up to 4K video streaming without interruptions.” ☹

I disconnected the Tigo/Une router to see if it had any effect on my Movistar WiFi. None.

I left the apt at 2pm and ordered a latte in Los Portenos to be delivered to my concrete table outside in the park. I set up my tournament chess set and started going through some lines in my English opening book. Just before 3pm there were intermittent raindrops then it started coming down more seriously and I quickly moved everything back to my usual seat on their protected patio.

About 3:30 I started this conversation with Rob Abshear, “How many Mbps should my Amazon 4K Firestick be downloading in order to get buffer free viewing on IPTV and Stremio?”.

The rain had stopped by the time I left about 4pm and returned to the apt.

That started a conversation that ended up with him helping me download newer versions finally completed at 6:30pm.

I watched some news while Teresa got a massage from Kelly (and the rain had started again).

I went to bed my regular time, 10pm; no rain.
