Last night I went to bed at 10pm, slept through the night, finally waking/getting up at 6am. I made a trip to the bathroom then went back to bed for a few minutes. Next thing I know it’s 8am so I got up, took my shower, shaved and dressed and headed out the door.

I met Glenn with Bianca in Olivenza at 9am. We had a long discussion about my Amazon 4K Fire Stick problem (only 65.37 Mbps) download speed. He has an Amazon 4K Max Fire Stick so I asked him to check its settings and see what speed he’s getting. He demonstrated again the benefit of using the ChatGPT app on his iPad.

I left at 10:45 and walked back to the apt.

I confirmed my 2pm attendance for this games get-together today in Laureles:

I changed my TV to use my new WiFi but for some reason it only found Terry (2.4Ghz) but not Terry Plus (5Ghz).

I’m still trying to figure out why I only get about 75Mbs for my Amazon 4k Firestick.

I left the apt at 1:45 and took a Didi to Jamaiquita in Laureles for 17,300 pesos. I was greeted by Anasia, the owner of the Jamaican restaurant, and she led me upstairs to a large enough table for my chess board. We played 4 games, she wasn’t very good but she did win one of them.

A young man then joined me, he had a Doctorate in Sports Medicine, and he wasn’t very good and I won both games.

Then a middle-aged man took the opponent seat and there was quite a bit of trash talking as I won three of our four games. During the next game I told him there would be an additional game only if he won. 

He played a fierce game but I won but allowed a last game which I also won. His name is Lawrence from Georgia and he’s visiting here for two weeks and would like to play again so we exchanged contact information.

I left at 7:30 and returned to the apt by Didi for 18,800 pesos.

As I walked in the door just after 8pm I thought Teresa would give me hell but she was at the dining table working on her latest bracelet project.

Soon after I returned it started raining, but ended by the time I went to bed at 10pm.
