April 2025 - Jellyfish, Back to Golf, Tattoo This! Immigration Headaches

In this month I avoided a bunch of jellyfish, but not computer and phone issues, played a bunch of golf, got my second tattoo, continued editing InstaNation and painfully obtained my immigration appointments...

Down under the sea...peace...


Look at the stir of the sand and water in the surging sea





wait there are jellyfish, yikes!


Checking out the seaweed barrier

Broken stuff...

Nice one...after the Elite 16 poor clean up
it was easy to find 3 inch screws in the sand!!!
Switching out BB battery


Bad design, antenna connection
pulled right off motherboard
BUT its a BB so still worked!
Power switch broke on Lenovo
Yoga 6 after only 1.5 years...

Can't even repair it in Mexico
Things are getting to ridiculous
in this wonderful tech world

Salsa explosion...not a good look

Shedding hair everywhere


Cramming in 6 rounds of golf in 15 days at $55 cad a round was great.  Golf, food and drinks for that price.   And good weather too, priceless!

Good round with Bill
Good breaky before the round

My water drop 200 yards out

Dropped it on the green!  Keeps you coming
back to this silly game

Always feels better when you
find some balls

Still bogied after this awesome 2nd shot to be
near the green on par 5.





One year after my Mexican bike spill it was time to put a protective Tattoo over the most damaged area, my left foot. Wanting a local Mayan to put something representative of the area I settled for a highly recommended Italian that had been living in the Mayan Riviera for 15 years.  And he was close to my house which was great since I wouldn't be able to use my foot much after the tattoo.  Well Maurizio...Let's get it done...on one of the more painful spots to put ink I chose not to take any pills or creams in order to have the most authentic experience.  Perhaps that was a mistake, haha...

Am I ready?


That didn't hurt at all...

Wait, that was only the marker

Bring the pain and fun!

Maurizio loving his job
Where did I get such a stupid idea!


Thank god it was a small one and only 3.5 hours!

Very sore, but finished!

The joy of the Mexican
 and scowl of the Argentinian

These will make you smile
but that was too much.


Love me a good type-o

Mauricio said that was the ink the tattoo
didn't need when I pulled the second skin off.


Of course government systems are about as stupid as they come and during the bridge between analog and digital we are seeing some amazing blunders. 

I hope the video explains it well that it took me 4 nights straight at 12:05am to lock in 2 immigration appointments for 3 weeks down the road.  Horrible system, imagine a mother of 3 who has to be up for work at 6am the next day.  Absolute joke that this was the only way I could get me appointments.  

And the cherry on top was that you only have a 4 week window before your residency expires to make and apply for the next residency step leaving only 1 week for error after 4 years of residency!  

Absolute joke.
