Baker Creek heirloom seeds from Missouri. https://www.rareseeds.com/?SID=01b4238e6c1995d4ed933ae267a0c39b

Sometimes take a few months, but they can ship here.

I've  used Baker Creek for years and would recommend them as well.

I have many packets of fresh seed from Baker Creek - tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, herbs, etc. PM me if interested in trying a few dozen.

He didn't do anything for my remotes - a Shaw and a Sony.

I would like to know what fraccs lakeside are adding chlorine? 

Chula Vista considers the potable water delivered by it's two wells to be its most important feature.

Well water is chlorinated automatically and water tests are performed regularly by a  CONAGUA certified lab in Guadalajara.

We and our guests  have been drinking the water for the nine years we've lived here without ill effects. My only regret is without another source we use the same well water for bathing and irrigation.

I’m trying to get away from Shaw services. I’ve been informed iLox throttles IPTV traffic resulting in an unacceptable level of buffering. I currently enjoy great streaming services like Acorn and Netflix with no buffering.

Is there anyone with actual experience? Does a VPN worsen the situation?

The Legend of the Kwaytays And How They Came To Be

By (ezpz)Once upon a time there was a village on a beautiful lake in the mountains of a very faraway land that had almost perfect weather almost all the time.  The people fished, grew crops, raised families, and were peaceful and happy. 

Wonderful. thank you for  a great story.

Looking forward to the new thousand pesos bills. Hope they go into general circulation unlike the old thousand peso notes.

Strange.

I just made a Mercadolibre purchase this morning using Bancomer debit. Using Chrome and the Mercadolibre web site. Don't know why credit would be different.

You should experience a 4-way stop intersection in Canada. Canadians are so ridiculously polite that they keep waving the other sides to go ahead, impeding the smooth flow of traffic. "Oh, I actually went ahead when it was my turn? Sorry." 😜

Maybe Vancouver but have you enjoyed the adventure in Montreal?

Relaxing on the Terrassa after an afternoon of gardening and I'm watching a crew of those tiny ants scurry along the floor. 

They must travel 30 or 40 times their body length in a second. How in the Hell do they manage that? I can't believe their legs move that fast.

Any ideas?

I've also am puzzled by some of the recent findings in Quantum Mechanics if anyone can tackle that.

 I'm sure glad I've acclimatized to this prolonged isolation.

Across from Soriana, next door to the wood shop there is a store that will repair small tools. I had an angle grinder repaired there. Sometimes they have to send it to Guadalajara though, but at least they know where to have it done.

Super. Thanks a lot. I know the lumber store well.

My cordless drill just gave up the ghost in the middle of assembling stretcher frames for my wife. The chuck is jammed wide open.

Is there anyone local who repairs small power tools????

TIA

I have been a patient since she opened her practice. I have had crowns, fillings and inlays done very successfully but I agree I would not use her for implants.

She did three for me. One molar snapped at the Titanium screw leaving a portion of he screw still imbedded in the implant. It cannot be removed (or at least she can't remove it). I am now missing a molar.

Can/will you give me some feedback as to your 'source' used in making this statement? Is it just your personal observation or ?

After months of no activity I tried my ilox phone line yesterday.

Same problem - my call is dropped completely after a couple of minutes.

What are other users experiencing now?

Does anyone know who officially "approves" the installation of topes?

Many sing the praises of Bowen therapy. I had six sessions for hip pain with the local practitioner here with no positive results. Turned out a simple anti-inflammatory gave immediate and permanent relief.

Hang in there Pedro!

I’m reminded of the story Jim Wilson told me years ago. I can’t remember the exact dollar amounts but the proportions are correct.

About 8 years ago, he fell on the Atlas golf course and required surgery to repair his knee. He got preapproval for the surgery from his insurance company and had the procedure done in Guadalajara. His deductible was $85,000 pesos

The insurance company started playing games. They denied the claim citing pre-existing conditions. He went back and forth with his surgeon and the insurance company for months. Finally the surgeon contacted him one day and said “Jim I’ve not been paid for your surgery by your insurance company.  Could you see you way to paying me directly and continue to battle with your insurer to get reimbursed?”

“No problem.” said Jim.” How much were your fees?”  “ $65,000 pesos said the surgeon.”

Great memories. Many thanks.

Thank you. My first laugh today.

You have a different philosophy. I respect that. I did my homework before retiring 12 years ago. Things have just worked out better than expected. Charities and our kids and grand kids will benefit.

And no Pedro I don't expect there will be a Uhaul attached to my hearse.

Investing nonsense Pedro? It's the basis of capitalism.

By investing I have more money each year in principal and fund a very good life here.

Remember Jesus saves....Moses invests.
