DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS
a. I’ve had three lithium ion batteries expand and delaminate the glass from the case this year. I take excellent care of my toys, it can just happen. One was an Apple Ipod Touch and the other a high end Google Pixel phone. In those two cases, the companies replaced the units without question even though they were slightly out of warranty. Watch you phones, ipads, ipods, etc for the first signs of bowing. That’s the key.
Apple is offering discounted battery replacement through the end of the month for certain Iphones. Cost as low as $29 usd. Link: https://money.cnn.com/2017/12/30/technology/apple-iphone-battery-available/index.html. Here is the Mac Repair facility in La Paz: KreaSoft Address: #298 A Serdan between Rosales y Allende Phone: 612 125-8286
The Google’s Cell Phone service known as Google FI is now available on more phones including Iphones and Galaxy phones. My phone bills are under $30 per phone and are world wide phones.
Costco is selling a Voltage Regulator for Refrigerators at about $50. Koblenz is the brand name. thecomputerguy@usa.com
b. Here’s a big shout out to our fantastic community from Feeding the Hungry Fashion Show. THANK YOU so much for coming and supporting the cause. The weather was perfect, the venue (La Playa Restaurant) was beautifully decorated by Evelyn, the wait staff bent over backwards to serve everyone promptly, the kitchen turned out wonderful food, the fashion designers put on a marvelous show and shared some fantastic clothing, and the jewelers showed us some amazing jewels! Thanks to all the businesses and individuals who donated gifts for the silent auction and raffle. People went home with some neat prizes and pretty new clothing. The hungry of Los Barriles will benefit from your generosity. Again, thank you to everyone who helped raise funds for this cause.

C. There is dorado gold in the Sea of Cortez! It’s like fall fishing in the “olden days” for dorado on the buoys offshore and outside of Cardonal. Dorado in big numbers, ranging between 25 and 35 pounds, a preponderance of males which is awesome as our policy is to not keep females. Even more good news? Unlike the old days our 16-day weather forecasting tools send us fishing on the smoothest water days. Our boats are awesome, our prices, too, and with a quick check of our competition you’ll see. Best yet, you will experience Baja’s Awesome Sportfishing’s concierge style service and discover why we’ve earned Trip Advisor’s highest rating of all charter companies in the East Cape. With 15 awesome years on the water, we’d be proud to have you and yours on board and show you the dorado gold in the Sea of Cortez. www.bajasawesome.com or combertheresa@hotmail.com.
