  1. Broken ribs and punctured lung with other internal injuries, bull riding in Lienzo Charro. Still in IMSS Occidental 10 days now.
  2. They will probably have a Kermes soon. I will post up when it happens.
  3. Pot holes or Trucks, Aquascalientes or Carr. 57? Pick your poison. Remember little or no cell service across the mid section of the Zac to Concepcion del Oro route for about an hour.
  4. A friend of mine Emiliano Zepeda, 15, has suffered serious internal injuries when competing at the Ajijic Lienzo Charro. His family owns the Vivero Wabi Sabi Ajijic at #10 Venustiano Carranza in Upper Ajijic. He is in need of Type O negative blood now. If anyone can donate the family will arrange the appt. and transportation. His family, aunts Rosa and Lupe, used to manage the Vivero across from Laguna Centro for many years. PM me for phone contact info or you contact Rosa on facebook messenger. https://www.facebook.com/ViveroAjijic/?paipv=0&eav=AfbDuItSEnTmJR2T6vDuVIURD7Rc5mlxwf9SlBDfA3es_ppvs4CpONyuJxRaKuSLUh0&_rdr
  5. Feliz Navidad, 'tis the season for Atole and Tamales!
  6. Google up Amazon A/C tape wrap. Foil back is best to protect from UV degradation. Or maybe Grainger in GDL.
  7. If you forget your transponder, you can open the Telepase phone app and show it to the caseta attendant. Some will take your account number to withdraw the toll fee and allow you to pass. Some will not want to mess with it. Win some, lose some. YMMV
  8. @Natasha thanks for the west side update. I was in Joco most of yesterday and did not see any cameras down but I am sure some were affected. The same cartel runs all of the towns lakeside so makes sense. As far as license plates are concerned, I usually throw a handful of mud on my license plates when I drive into Guad so no more camera tickets for me. I suppose the criminals have that covered also.
  9. If the cartel pulled this off, they would just call the police comandante in Chapala and give him a heads up so that no one would interrupt their work. They know the drill, they are not stupid. Anyone notice that no cameras were down in the municipio of Jocotepec? Makes you wonder why?
  10. My thoughts when I determine the best route in Ajijic traffic:
  11. The Total Play tech who did my install years ago was Uzziel Luis. He told me he was the lead tech at lakeside and that he handled service calls. I don't know if he is still around or not but worth a try, 331 157 7160. Bi-lingual.
  12. If you choose to drive to Petatan from Mazamitla and then thru San Jose de Gracia then the dicey part of the route will be the paved road just NE of San Jose de Gracia that connects to Tizapan el Alto thru the canyon and along the arroyos. The locals call that road Calle Camino Aqua Caliente. This road runs along the state border between Mich and Jalisco so a perpetual turf war. Not a lot of folks on that road in the afternoon and evenings. Safer to backtrack thru La Manzanilla de la Paz and Tuxcueca. The Pemex in Tuxcueca closes often so don't count on gas availability there.
  13. In the past I have found that many stores are closed in Mazamitla on Wednesdays. Seems the most often mentioned restaurant here on this board has been La Troje located across the street a bit from the Pemex in town. I eat in the Mercado upstairs. http://latrojedemazamitla.com.mx/
  14. Frequently you will find good deals on small Japanese SUVs here in the Classifieds subforum. Many with low mileage. Lots of turnover with teflon tourists.
  15. @Hud. I spoke with the FBI at the US Consulate in Guadalajara in 2012, don't know about today though.
  16. I agree with the above comment. Also I would add that some expats who have disappeared do not want to be found. I doubt if most kidnappers would choose an expat over a wealthy Mexican but then it does happen. No one wants the FBI involved because that shuts down their trafficking profits. Guess I'm just getting cynical.
  17. Speaking of tax liability in Mexico, I'm looking for a new local contador who can file my Mexican tax returns. Any recommendations appreciated.
  18. @Usvetsinmexico, My post was not in reference to you so no need to take offense. The post provided some historical reference to the scam in San Miguel de Allende. But never mind, carry on.
  19. https://sanmigueltimes.com/2019/09/the-monex-scam-7-million-usd-vanished-from-expat-bank-accounts/ Yep I remember that. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.
