Finished up "the Job" at the beginning of the month, saw the Oilers live, conquerred some pinball machines and returned to Playa del Carmen to swim away the rest of the month.
A few quiet days to tidy up and demob the equipment for the now successfully crossed creek. Always mixed emotions for me watching them tear down where I spent so much of my waking moments, but then being free and done working is pretty great!

Back to town one last time. I thought about heading North the next day towards Alaska for fun...but the weather didn't sound good and besides I had Oilers tickets in Edmonton!

Back in to Calgary with a rear tire issue, actually I wrecked one of my rotors so my more than helpful friend Kaz jumped to it and we replaced both rear rotors and brake pads ("Don't buy the shitty ones" Kaz told me, so I didn't).
 |
A few difficult bolts, turns out one of
the caliper guides was sticking.
Likely do to all the mud on site. |
 |
Beautiful and only $200 all in
2 new rotors, 2 sets of pads |

Mid month I grabbed a direct flight back to Playa for 30 days of beach and writing. Surprisingly found a great spot on Quinta avenue 4 blocks from the beach with all the things you need...Smart TV, great kitchen, King bed, nice comfy couch...and remote wifi to project the NHL Playoffs!
Side Story - I cruised through security at the Calgary Airport passing through this line which continued in to a massive glass encased room holding another 400 people going through USA level security. Gross. Why do people still go to the USA? I hope I can avoid flying there until they sort themselves out, ahum...Metric would be a good start.
Weeeeeee....taking offf
 |
| Poor USA passengers... |
A new home sweet home, good location, all the things you need and warm weather. Hoping to finish a short film while i'm here and may be find something to invest in??

Going for a swim like most days when there's not too much seaweed.

Another good dive day at Diversity Diving... Dive 1) at Cuevo del Pargo down to 13.4 m for 62 minutes, Dive 2) at Mache down to 13.0 for 50 minutes. Really got my monies worth.
