3. (One of my favorite BPE contributors, Cheryl.) It’s been a while.  But, here are some things I thought most folks would like to bring south. It’s time to start planning for the fall trip to Baja. If you have Starlink or TelMex Fiberoptic, then you should have Cat 6 cable between the modem and the WiFi router. I would make sure your router is capable of speeds above 100 Mbps (Gigabit Router). You would think I would have known better but I had an old Cat 5 cable between the two; when I switched, my speed tripled. Remember the Starlink router has limited coverage. It’s best to plan on an Ethernet adapter and a WiFi router that is a mesh router. By all means have a Dash Cam in the front window. I recommend one that has GPS builtin. When the cop stops you in Baja, you can show your speeds and stops. I’ve had a laser printer for the past three years in Baja and it works flawlessly. I had many inkjets and the ink dries out over the summer and the printer heads clog. I use black and white Brother Laser printers. If you need color, well, the color in the inkjets are superior but at a cost. I recommend Apple AirTags on just about anything of value. They work really well to track anything that is attached. The AirTag communicates with any Iphone within Bluetooth range and send location info to the Apple mothership. That info is forwarded just to you. If you find and AirTag, bring it close to your Iphone and you will get contact info for the holder. thecomputerguy@usa.com
4. Where would a person find the schedule for garbage pickup in the barrels last I saw it was supposed to be Sunday but that didn’t happen – sdohm1@gmail.com
5. does anyone have a recent experience with ankle fusion surgery to share some of their results – tessabarriles@gmail.com
6. Looking for a very economical rental for myself (possibly will have visitors during my stay). Dream place would be close if not on the beach, with a pool, separate bedroom from the living space, and with good wifi so I can work. Willing to bartend / waitress some of the time – or housekeeping (I clean very well). I would love the ability to rent for Jan / Feb – but may have work engagements that take me away for days at a time. Let me know if there is anything that sounds remotely possible above. Jacquie – aahilley@hotmail.com

1.   I’m looking for a new home  (permanent or temporary ) for a dog we have been taking care of.   He was dumped a couple of months ago by our house so we have been taking care of him.   We were going to try and keep him even though a new dog was not what we were looking for, but it just isn’t working out with the 2 dogs we already have.   He is a very sweet dog but our dogs are old and grumpy and won’t accept him. All he wants to do is play and our dogs aren’t going for it.   He is a medium-sized, short-haired dog about 1 year old.   Has all his shots and has been neutered.  Very healthy and happy.   Likes to chase cows and goats out of the yard.   If at all interested we can send pics or set something up so you can see him.  I don’t want to give him to rescue and have him put in a cage.   The poor guy doesn’t deserve that.
