  1. I know it's the dry season so it's possible this is water rationing but I would like to be sure it's not just my problem. I have a separate water line with a faucet coming from the street. The water flow is very weak with no pressure.  Anyone else experiencing this in Riberas lakeside? I can hear it running into the aljibe.

    I have one that came with the house and probably needs sharpened I'll give you. 

    If you still have the push mower, I would be happy to have it. I'm in Riberas, you picked up the boxes from my house.

  3. I thought so too but it's labeled a paintball gun and supposedly not a lethal weapon. We'll see. I know from experience that my dogs will stand and fight.  Precious bites and won't let go. First time she was only 7mo old. Just ask Sal the water guy. He didn't know I had a new pup and I didn't know she was a 7lb attack dog. Second time she grabbed the plumber when I was out. He had to yell for help. She wouldn't let go. Hopefully now she will have Abby for backup and her Mom will be beside them both. When I'm in Mama Bear mode, I'm a force with no fear.  They will not stand alone.

  4. What was 10 years ago or up to now has no bearing on tomorrow. Times are changing. AMLO had hundreds of migrants bussed throughout the States of Mexico. These are hungry desperate people. An increase in crime has been following in their wake. I have seen them begging on the carretera. 

    I have recently secured the doors and windows. The lights in the yard are on all night. My dogs sleep with me upstairs and I have often awoke to see Abby wide awake watching and listening.  If we nap during the day she is sound asleep and Precious is on watch duty. Smart dogs.

    For my protection and theirs, I have a new very sharp machete upstairs and down along with a can of scorpion spray. I'm afraid someone coming in will have his own machete and rather than look like the Pirates of the Caribbean, I hope to blind him with the spray. 

    I understand the mindset to ignore the troubles in the world today and live the carefree life we have enjoyed but hungry desperate people will do things they may not have thought they would ever do and troubles North and South of Mexico will follow us here. Just like Covid.

  5. I've been taking my girls to Furry Friends in Mirasol for grooming and boarding for 7 years.  Always happy.  Abby can't wait to get in their door. They can hear her crying from across the carretera because we can't get there fast enough. But that's Abby. She's 40 lbs of high energy and all muscle. Both dogs are finished in 3 hrs. Never had a cut or burn on Precious and I have her shaved and clipped very short. I'm sorry you had such an upsetting experience. 

  6. I gave him Ramshorn snails this morning. They can produce more snails all by themselves. No need for both sexes. He has a large pool.  I'm looking forward to the visit with you next week. I can home 4 or 5 males. Strictly a bachelor pad. He asked me why the white Mollie was following the black one so closely. I said they were gay. I'm not surprised, the black one is a beauty. 

  7. I have snails 🐌.  I'm in Riberas. I have 2 aquariums, one has large Upside-down catfish.  Unusual and fun to see. I would love to see Fred's pond and fish but I don't have a car. If you would like company I would be happy to go along. I wear a mask. Fred and I are friends. He may still have a siphon hose for me.

  8. Good, more for me. Fried crispy with garlic salt in olive oil and i don't miss bacon. Add two fried eggs 🍳 and grits. Of course the grits are $7 a box of 12 env. Not bad if I'm practicing one meal a day. Hopefully, the small truck farmers will be growing veggies and stands will be on street corners and driving by if there is gas . I'm not looking forward to being a vegetarian but the dogs and I will survive on rice and beans.
