Aimeé’s Car

Aimeé is the proud new owner of this 2013 Smart ForTwo car. Its small size, automatic transmission, and cute looks make it the perfect car for her to learn to drive. It came with lots of little problems that I am enjoying fixing.

The Ford Escape that I ordered arrived in BC on August 14 and I eagerly awaited its arrival at the car dealership in Sechlet. One month later I still did not have an ETA due to local transport issues in the industry. Besides the uncertain deliver time that threatened to exceed the time of our return to Mexico this year, I was disappointed by the market’s valuation of my Jeep Patriot . These negatives allowed me to realize that the new car was not the best option for Aimeé, so I cancelled the order and helped her purchase her own vehicle.

We will be flying to Mexico on October 16.

Another Painting Project

Aimeé has gone to Guanajuato for six weeks for a plethora of reasons and I am taking the opportunity to paint the living room. I took me two days to remove all the furniture and cover the floor. Moving my 500 lb piano by myself while protecting the hardwood was an interesting puzzle. Today was my first day of surface preparation. While I like making progress, I am not enjoying the work.

The new car is scheduled for production on July 26. The Jeep is still available and its sale will be more feasible once I have an ETA for the new car.
