    Home port update

    Full price, of course. :) I'm excited about the home port. But besides the environmental concerns, there are archaeological sites dating back at least 5000 years with invaluable intact buried deposits spread across the route of the the proposed canal. No reason to halt the project, but the...

    Directv Help

    Security deposit that's returnable when the cleaning service verifies that everything is OK. You can pre-authorize it on their card through PayPal, and they never actually get charged. My experience is that even just faking this practice with a line in the rental agreement or a note on the...

    Mexico Beach Bum

    InkaRoads, it's still worth a drop-in, just for the location. Malecon, ocean, and plaza views--I'm not sure where else has that until you get atop the hill at Lighthouse or Casa del Capitan. They at least used to advertise $1 beers with a meal, but no check I've gotten there for me and large...

    Mexico Beach Bum

    Appreciate you taking it in the neck from us and responding, Mike. We really do love what you've done with the place...if we can just get your (perfectly pleasant) staff to fill our emptiness. My wife Noel and I will swing back around on a warm afternoon. She'll be the pretty one with the...

    Mexico Beach Bum

    Yeah, it's way cold in there. I understand the difficulty with heating a palapa. But especially when there are just one or two groups, just a space heater near the table would help. Well...that and staff that bring toddies...

    Mexico Beach Bum

    They just don't come around and don't offer refills. Weird, since I want them to have my money in exchange for a multicourse libation experience to match the dining one. To be fair, it does seem kinda common except in the restaurants and cantinas that have a Norteamericano owner actually on...

    Mexico Beach Bum

    Yeah, we keep trying to give the place chance after chance, most recently last Friday night with friends from (way) out of town. Our experience has been yours--empty, very cold, and the service staff inattentive and tucked around the corner, out of sight. I love the new decor and the location...

    Satellite dish installer

    Thanks, kind listeros. I ended up using Netel R. at 638-107-5457. He was great. Kinda pricey at $85 USD, but at least my bratty little loinfruits are happy, and I don't have to go to Capones for football and cede my girlish figure to their pizza. incidentally, it worked fine to add the new...

    Satellite dish installer

    Thanks, Terry. I called them and left a message. In the meantime, if anyone else has a guy, I'd appreciate a reply or PM. Thanks.

    Satellite dish installer

    Hey, listeros, anyone know someone in RP who can install a satellite dish and receiver, preferably late today or tomorrow? Dish network system in Las Conchas, in case that matters. Thanks!

    Stuart help for the site

    I'm in full agreement with Wood Spinner (Bill), though I lack his sense of the forum's history. As a new resident and new forumisto this year, the small group of masturbatory posters who seem to service only their desire to see their own name in print probably drive thoughtful users away...

    Seriously...Do I need a passport? Seriously?

    Lord (Stuart) help us if rep power is awarded based on the quantity rather than quality of posts. Back on point, I hadn't heard about any USDA Sanitario requirement for pet papers. I carry vaccination records, but we've never even been asked to produce them. If anyone has any other...

    Mexico Beach Bum

    I believe Alex's exchange calculation was correct. I think you may owe the place a revisit and her an apology.

    Are you on the black-and-white side or with the hoity-toity snobs who live in color?;)

    You'll find the resolution on that device exceptional, as well. Here's a screenshot of your house.

    Penasco in Apple Maps Satellite Images

    It is. But I think you can only get it by upgrading to iOS6. Apple replaced Google Maps as its built-in mapping app with its own Apple Maps with the iOS6 release, so once you upgrade your iPad, it will just be there on your home screen's first page. This shows you how: How to update to iOS 6

    Penasco in Apple Maps Satellite Images

    For all the grief Apple's gotten about the problems its new Apple Maps is causing for people trying to get somewhere, the app (now embedded in the new iOS6) includes remarkable satellite imagery. Like many of my fellow listeros, I've been using Google satellite images to scout trails and beach...
