    Has anyone been to the dog park? If so, can you tell us what it costs and if it's somewhat shaded?

    Thanks in advance!

    Val :)

    Right now it is free, and yes there are lots trees for shade. The entrance is on the  left as you enter the park.

    Make sure you have the a/c on. That is what removes moisture from the car. Also, it is best to run the a/c at least twice a week, cool in summer and warm in winter, to make sure the internal parts of the compressor stay lubricated. 

    Yes, that's why I turned on the the defrost with AC. Wet dog inside was fogging up the windshield inside big time, but I didn´t want ice cold air. Good tip to keep the compressor libricated.

  3. Pretty sure my mistake was entering my real number when I bought a bus ticket online......Never had a problem doing that with airline tickets, but right after the bus ticket purchase the calls started, sometimes as early as 7am.

    I can't change my settings to only receive calls from my contact list because of deliveries from Amazon and Mercadolibre...

    Hopefully the registry will stop the calls.

    So your cell phone number has only 7 digits?

    Every cell number I know of has 10 digits  the first 3 being the "area code"

    Not here. Guadalajara  only has  a two number area code as well as Mexico City, and Monterrey. Rest of Mexico has three digit area code.

    According to Wikipedia

    Website accepted my entry using only two numbers for the Lada. 33

  5. So I finally was able to enter my cell number into the "no call" system

    After researching , the area code ( "Lada")  of a local cell number is the first TWO numbers not three.

    According to Wikipedia, Only Mexico city, Monterrey, and Guadalajara have two digits as the area code, the rest of Mexico has three digit area codes. 

    This explains why I always hear local Mexicans reciting their numbers is sets of two. I'm still in the habit of reciting my number as xxx-xxx-xxxx.

    Anyone expats recite there numbers as the locals do ?

    No, its 10 digits.

    Didn't we used to have 045 0r 044 not too long ago before the ten digits ? I thought those were the area codes...which are no longer needed.

    So the first three numbers of the cell number are the area code , ok

    When I go to the website and enter my number accordingly using the first three numbers as the LADA the site crashes with the following message :

     

     

    <script language='javascript'>alert('El número telefónico 3334615332 no es correcto. Favor de verificarlo o comunicate al teléfono del consumidor.');location.href='registrar_telefono.jsp';</script>

     

    Maybe the website is having a bug right now

     

  7. What I'm going to make of it is that maybe god will give me something ( well almost something 🙂) for going out of my way to let a middle aged Hispanic man enter the freeway in his brand new BWM X5. Zero acknowledgement from the guy as he races into traffic in front of me. When he gets to the libramiento intersection he passes all left turn traffic only to pull in front of the line to turn left in front of everyone else. 

    "Tolerance" I tell myself, a Mexican gift.

    Check the bills at the bank for false notes, deposit in your account, and hand over the existing factura.  Some Mexican buyers will not bother to transfer ownership into their name anyway.  Keep it simple.

    Yes, it seems "Factura Original" is favored here even though there may have been multiple owners of the car. My insurance agent told me that in case of theft or total write-off, the insurance company will write the check to the owner on the Factura. So either that's incorrect, or Mexicans just roll the dice ?

    The new nursery was located on Federal Land with permission.  Nothing to do with the firetruck itself.  

    Wow, its almost unbelievable that they would put soo much effort into building that nursery illegally, so I guess the whole place will be gone. What a shame and waste of time and money building that place. It was previously a yard for selling dirt and gravel for many years, I wonder if they were kicked out too

  10. Probably a small percentage of people ever saw it, but there was a vintage firetruck displayed beautifully in front of the new nursery in Riberas. It was on top of a 4ft high mound of dirt with plants inside of it and grass planted all around it

    I drove by it this morning and thought to myself how nice a job they did and how classy the new nursery was looking.

    Then my on  next drive by, I saw two huge tow trucks parked  with lights flashing....hmmmm

    Third time by they had hooked the firetruck up to one of the tow trucks and had already moved it the the edge of the mound while two men were lifting up the squares of the new grass

    Final pass, the firetruck is gone as well as the complete mound of dirt it was parked on.

     

    Sooo I'm guessing some government agency took exception to the firetruck and made them move it ?

    Which is a shame because it was well away from the bike path.

    And that's the short life of the vintage firetruck in Riberas...

    But I don't think they will buy it without signature on the back of the original owner even though they may not transfer it into their name .

    Unclear as to where the car is.  If here, I think he who has the original Factura owns the car.

     

    But the daughter won't be able to sell it without her mothers signature on the back of the Factura. Honestly she might want to write her mom's signature if it isn't there in order to avoid long legal process of inheriting the car the car first . ( yes, probably illegal ) but nobody is getting hurt
