I'd name him "Nervous."

We had them rooting around outside our office windows when I worked at Scottsdale Fashion Square in the heart of downtown, Scottsdale and Camelback. They ain't skeered of anything!

Hello, Mr. Gregory Peccary! I've eaten them at Mexican fiestas. They dig a big pit, dump in a lot of hot, burning mesquite charcoal, in goes the javelina, add dirt back on top. Dig him back up the next day and viola! Fiesta pig! Very yummy, actually.

When's the BBQ? I'll bring the coleslaw... homemade, of course! :D You need different dogs, Jerry. Hello, Mr. Dogo Argentino! These truly are amazing, powerful dogs, specific purpose breed, from over 13 breeds of dogs. They don't like Porky. Not at all. Some very interesting reading out there...

Hunting (as managed by Fish and Game) serves a valuable purpose -- it helps keep the checks and balances that Nature intended somewhat in place now that so many natural predators have been taken out of the picture. Although I don't hunt, never have, I don't have issue with it as some here do. I...

Lived in Warminster, Bucks County most of my life, moved over to Ambler, Montgomery County for a few years before going in the Navy. Only one good thing ever came out of Allentown, Vern - Mack Trucks! (kidding, of course!)

High test... funny! Growing up in PA, my dad worked part-time at a Sunoco station. They used to have a dial on the pump that you could turn to set the blend you wanted. Sunoco 260 used to be the high-test bomb! When you wanted to go out cruising on Sat. night, you always put the 260 in the tank...

Yeah, I'm so old school... technology solves everything... uh-huh. The 23 ft. tide change is not something to be trifled with. Could they do it as it looks in the picture? Not likely. The only other option as I see it is having all loading, departures, arrivals, etc. coordinated to the tides...

Big square of huge rocks with an opening for the boat to go in and out. Docks are fixed. At low tide, the larger boats pretty much sit on the bottom.

Ethanol, alcohol content. Your Check Engine light is telling you something emissions related is wrong and typically, your oxygen sensor is used to running on US gas with more alcohol in it. Put in pure gas and it is suddenly seeing a different ratio in your exhaust. If you ran Mexican gas all...

Your mechanic is... well, I'll just say it - an asshat. Years ago, SOME of what he says about PEMEX was true. The primary contaminant was water. Today's PEMEX pumps filter the gas just like the pumps here in the US do and yes, much of your cross-border fuel is actually refined here in the US...

Put down the crack pipe, dog. It could never be like that pic, ever. The tides would flood the place. You would need one heck of a gigantic floating dock structure to make that concept even remotely possible.

Shame none of the big boys seem to be around. You haven't tangled with a fish until you get a 25-30 lb. yellowtail on the other end of the line. Still, lots of good eating right there! The first time I met Tom was at night after fishing, in the bone yard out back with a blazing fire going. The...

Awesome! That pinto is a toad! I'm anxious to get back out on the water. Shawno slayed some monster white seabass last weekend.

I used to have an International Scout that was my Mexico vehicle. Can't tell you how many times I buried it on the beach. The whole key with airing down the tires is know the breaking point. That is, how low you can go to get yourself unstuck without breaking the bead on the rim. Do that, and...

DOG! YOU'RE A DOG!!! (Yes, I'm just jealous because I've been so trapped at work I don't even know what a fish looks like anymore.) :(

I can't attest to electricity, but it's gospel truth for many things in Penasco. I've proved it in the past. We were going fishing and went to the beer distributor (Modelo) to buy Pacifico. Cans, not bottles, no deposits. I walked in and bought a case - $22 USD. We thought we'd get another...

You never really lose sight of land on the Sea of Cortez. Didn't know that? By the time you're not seeing the Penasco/mainland side, you can see the Baja side. Or vice-versa. And it's not a matter of "how far out" per se, it's simply a distance. It's 75 miles from Penasco to San Felipe across...

Long time to be on the water - 18-20 hours. I do that same trip in a day - leave by 7:00, back by 5:00, but I doubt the About Time cruises at 32 mph (no diss intended, it's a much bigger boat). Sounds like fun for those that have never been out to the 51.

I post this with mixed emotions. They say the two happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it. The first? Definitely true, but I'm not so sure about the second. But, it's time for me to sell it. I do plan on buying another to replace it at some point in...
