Stuck for the third time.

It was hard to get out of bed this morning. Angie got up early and opened the windows and the cool breeze just felt awesome as it blew in the bedroom window. You could smell the rain coming and the breeze before the rain was very refreshing. However, Braden was eager to play a computer game and that requires me to get up and setup the computer from its locked overnight storage. I needed to get up anyway as I needed to go back to the hospital for a medical exam. The country requires all foreigners to go for a medical exam to complete the work permit. If you recall, they took blood from me while Angie was in the hospital to see if I might be a match for her in the event she needed a blood transfusion. Fortunately she did not, but unfortunately the confused my blood sample with hers. We had different blood types so they had to take more blood from me the next day to determine mine from hers. We determined that I could not be a blood donor for her, so really both sticks were a waste. Today, they needed to take blood again. This is really a good thing. They are very careful to monitor diseases by not allowing people with diseased blood (HIV, etc) into the country. They also took my blood pressure, chest x-rays, etc. I should be able to pick up the report in the morning and take it to the get the work permit card.While I am on the main island, I will go by and pick up a package from Fed-Ex and the post office. In a few days, I will post the results of the package sending experiment and we will know which is the most inexpensive way to send and receive packages.I also ordered some shirts for the business and will pick them up today too.I have been unsuccessful at finding a grill. However, I met a man last night who is a welder (which by the way, I have yet to see a welder use a welding helmet or mask) I am thinking about asking him to help build me one.Yesterday I received at text message from my police friend. He asked if we would like to BBQ tonight. I said sure. He said he would prepare the fish and we could build the fire together. I am assuming this will happen on the beach tonight. We are all looking forward to dinner tonight. Think about us as you have breakfast on Sunday AM as we will be having BBQ and great fellowship ;-)A man came by the office yesterday evening because he wanted to talk about working with him in our business. I think he will be a great business contact. As we were sitting in my office, it began to rain. My new friend did not want to leave in the rain (I dont blame him) so we ended up talking for about 1.5 hours. We talked about everything you could think of and more. He his very intelligent. It is amazing to me how many new friends I am meeting 😉
