Somebody needs to extort the damned Diamondbacks this year. Talk about the suck! o_O o_O :(

Agreed. It sucks standing out there for hours in the summer heat. No wonder they get so damned grumpy. Still, they are getting paid to do a job and there is no need to be a jerk about it. Us or them. 90% of my experiences with ICE or BP are positive. It's that 10% that are totally off-the-hook...

REAL input - yes, many of the locals recycle, but I personally don't know where they cash in the cans. Russ or another local may know where the the recycling centers are. The issue with the bottles (Corona, Pacifico, etc.) is a bit different. When you buy a case of bottles at the beer...

And I thought last year was about the windiest I'd ever seen. Looks like Blowfest Part Deux so far this year. <grumble, grumble>

I sort of heard about this 2nd hand from Dennis via Ted, if it's the same incident. Jeep ran over a guy on his ATV with his daughter on the back? Besides the guy's legs, I heard the little girl had both arms and legs broken. Nobody could get in or out to help them because of all the cars/trucks...

The "Hassle Factor" is real, which is why I said don't be a jerk about it. Being a jerk simply begets creating a jerk response. My typical response to "How much alcohol do you have?" by Border Patrol would be "An unopened bottle of tequila, which I declared at the border." End of story. Whether...

The interior checkpoints are in fact BORDER PATROL and they have absolutely NO AUTHORITY to enforce Customs regulations (other than illegal drugs). Once you're over the border, you could have an 18 wheeler semi-truck of booze and Border Patrol cannot do a damned thing about it. Know your rights...

Most everybody here has it wrong. At many border crossings, you CAN pay the duty on any excess liquor/tobacco products and go on your merry way. Lukeville (Arizona in general, if not mistaken) has no facility or authority to collect duties -- you get two options -- throw it away, or they let you...

Secondary... don't get me started. Been awhile since I've had to, but EVERY TIME I cross with the boat, I can count on it. It's one of the few places in America you are absolutely guilty until proven innocent. The guys in secondary must be "how to win friends and influence people" rejects...

Well... as I was going to head down for Easter, I'm glad my wife conceded that it wouldn't be worth it. Laughlin was nice this weekend! Maybe in two weeks.

There's something to be said for averaging 40 mph on flat water. Many times I've raced the sunset back to port from the 51 and being able to do it in an hour 15 minutes is a blessing. Pemex be damned, drop those throttles and run baby!

The ones you catch out of the canals are not bad eating at all. The ones imported farm raised from China... no way. About the same as a big bluegill or crappie.

Sometimes, I kick myself in the ass simply as a reminder that I never should have sold my 23' aluminum Bayrunner with the Honda 130 that delicately sipped the fuel. Used to average 4.5 mpg in that boat, often better. Lucky if I see 1.5 in the ProKat. I typically burn 90 gallons on a trip to the...

Awesome catch, as always Shawno! We've got those cutlass fish before and they are a great bait for nearly everything. Nothing that I hate worse than 4-6 heading uphill from the Caballo. Long, slow, wet, ass-pounding ride!! I even tried running east to shallower water and following the coast up...

Welcome to Penasco fishing! Last year, it blew nearly every weekend all spring and well into summer. I'm hoping it will settle down before that this year, but... Mother Nature is gonna blow whenever she wants. It's extremely frustrating to see dead calm days during the middle of the week and...

I don't know their hours; we went on a Friday so not sure if they're open on the weekend.

It's City Hall. Right on the corner at the light where you turn from the main drag (after the railroad tracks) to head to Las Conchas. There is a tiny office hidden in that building; ask around inside. You'll never find it on your own. We got lost for two weeks in that maze and had to set off...

In theater. Here at home? On average, 22 veterans commit suicide everyday. Very sad statistic. :( :( :(

Jack - Sorry for your loss. I hate thieves; lowest of the low. I wish you luck in getting it back. Unfortunately, a small boat that size is easy to disappear in Mexico. I'll keep my eyes open for it when I'm out on the water.

Bill, thanks! You are always welcome here and truly, you'll still be a friend whether you visit the forum or not. Mike - While I understand some of your comments, you seem to have a few misconceptions. I have more or less run this forum for years from the old days when Mike O'Neill owned it...
