I hope everyone had an excellent New Year!
I just got back today at 4 am from my sons wedding in Cancun.
Wow... What a blast!
I just thought I would share a few pictures...
Hotel Marina El Cid, about 20 minutes out of Cancun... Excellent place, excellent food too!

This is a water slide and kind of a cliff diving platform in the pool area

This is the swim up bar. Real busy place. My son is the one on the right with the Montreal Canadians hat on.

Very nice Mike. I just love the sand in Cancun, it's so soft.
I really like the pic of everyone jumping in the air.
It looks like everyone had a great time.
X2 on the sand.
Very nic Mike, thats a lot better than the snow here
Hi Mike;
Welcome back!
Great family, and it looks like everyone had a great time. I thought I was enjoying warm weather until I saw your pictures. :)
Real nice Mike. Looks like fun was had by all.
That is the exact place my wife and I went to a few years back for a vacation (very nice) the sand there is actually all coral dust I believe
LTS
Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!!!!
Awesome pic's!
Mike, you have a beautiful family.......
Well maybe not the fat guy with the wrong shirt on. ;D :o
Great pics. I too like the jumping photo!
Nice pictures Mike.
Guess you did not get the email about the clothes :o
Very nice. Looks like everyone had a great time.
Hey Mike I sent an email about the wiring for the extra element for my DBS. You say I need 10 feet of 14 gauge. Does that have to be one strand or there is an appliance store here that has it in 5 foot sections. Can I just get 2 of them?

I would think 2 of the multi-stranded in 5 foot sections would work fine. I didn't get the email here at home but I haven't gone to the office yet either. I can't remember but I think you are doing the switch as well as another thermal fuse or not. Even if you are the two 5 foot sections should be enough. If you can return the wire just buy an extra 5 foot length so you don't get into it and have to make another run.
Mike
Congrats to everyone
Thanks for sharing Mike
Great pic's. You and your goodlooking family appear to be having lots of fun. Your Son has a starting tan. Thanks for your work on the 2nd element mod. I followed your instructions and it has been working like a champ for over a year.
Yes I am going to do the switch also. Stopped at appliance store today and picked up the wire and terminals. The package of wire had 3 colored wires in it,each one about 5 feet long,1 red,1 gray,and 1 white. IS this enough or do I need to buy another set like this?

I would think that will be plenty.

OK thanks for the info. Might be a couple of weeks till I try and tackle it, My weekends are pretty busy for a while.
Oh sure real nice. Uh Colin where are you going for vacation this year. Well I will be taking a nice 16 hour drive to the glorious resort(hide-a-bed) at my lovely sister and BIL's in too fricken hot downtown Red Deer Alberta. YEEHAWW boys wooohooo. OK I am not bitter in the least you SOB. LOL just kidding.
That place looks awesome. This year I am banking my double time so the wife and I can go someplace like that. And that looks like a great place too. Congrats on your sons nuptials. Hope they have a long and loving life together.
Fishman! out of your element...you look great in that shirt!!!
Congratulations on a newest member of your family...a daughter in law...your grandson is adorable...you are a lucky man!!
Bet you went fishing didn't you ;D
Thanks a lot everybody. Everything went off without a hitch. It really was nice to spend some time with all the Bride's side of the family as well. All great people. There was 67 of in total. Definitely a big party. We still have another reception back here at the end of the month.
I never did make it out fishing LQ. ::) Go figure... Way too many things to do. 8)

Mike, I picked up a switch at Napa today and it says 10A 12 VDC 120 W. IT has 2 on positions and an off position. Is this what I need?

That one appears to a 12 volt switch. I would try to locate one that is rated for 120 volts and 10 amps. I usually find them in hardware stores in the electrical section as opposed to the automotive section.
Mike
OK thank you.
