    Watch Your Trucks Closely - Part II!!

    Sad as I am to report this, my good friend Mark had his truck stolen last night, right from in front of the Penasco Del Sol, parked next to the Security Guard shack. F-350 diesel. Just got off the phone with him; he's still in Penasco right now trying to get a Police report and such. Videotape...

    Fishing Charters....

    Miguel at the public harbor does a great job. Has been doing so for years. Price will depend on the boat (how big). You can go out panga fishing for a few hours for like $35 an hour. All depends on their needs. There are lots of options.

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Yes - because that's where most of the weight of your truck is. But, still not as big an issue because they're just rolling; there's no traction taking place as you have with your rear wheels. I'd recommend that whatever tire you decide on, you go to the same tire all the way around. I never...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Absolutely, they'll help. Don't know that you need 35's; those are pretty damn big. Still no guarantee you won't get stuck with only two wheel drive. Most of the Mexican guys that run around on the beach use nearly flat, bald tires and two wheel drive. Then again, most of them aren't driving...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Ahhh Sub... reminding me of the mud-bogging days! Yeah, been there, done that many a time. Used to love to go up to the Salt River after a heavy rain and hit the muddy trails. My motto used to be "Will winch for beer!" and Lord only knows how many stuck 4x4s I pulled out of the muck. Also...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Jerry - Does it have chrome 24 emblems on the front fender? Dude, you be stylin'! For those that have no idea what I'm talking about, the current trend in the 'hood is to take whatever piece of crap you drive and slap the absolute biggest wheels with Band-aid thin tires under it. And, you gots...

    Competition in the Shuttle Business....

    Quoted from the article: "While we applaud honest law enforcement work to rid our neighborhoods of smugglers, drug dealers and other dangerous elements, we are concerned about the timing of an ICE operation that seems to be as much designed for media consumption as anything else," Pablo...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Just a brief follow-up: I received a call from Alma at the Playa Inn today. She and the staff were very apologetic about what happened. She said that they went back and reviewed the video tape minute-by-minute. At 3:55 AM, they saw someone quickly cross the street into the parking lot by my...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    There are over 100,000 combinations to the cap, so it would take a boatload of plugs and a lot of luck to figure it out. It disables multiple systems and each one is wired differently at installation. Better yet, all of the wires coming out of the thing are the same color - black. They advertise...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    That's all well and good if your vehicle has a coil. Diesels don't. I'm looking at alternatives that disable the fuel pump relay and this system.

    Wind and waves not looking too good for RP this weekend...

    I *am* looking on the bright side - at least I still have my truck! :-D The wife and I were joking that we would have looked pretty silly sitting on our overnight bags beside that last stoplight as you leave town with our thumbs out, hitching a ride north!

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Indeed, Ernesto. One of those things that make you say "Hmmmmm..." I could see why nothing showed up on the camera. The camera is on top left corner of the building, pointing down onto the parking lot from above. There is no camera on the right side of the building. The parking along the front...

    Watch Your Trucks!! VERY CLOSELY!!

    Most of you that know me know I drive a big ol' F-250 diesel to haul my boat around. Well, ownership of said vehicle nearly changed hands this weekend to the narcos. Came into town Friday afternoon, got a room at Playa Inn, went and got the boat out of storage, cleaned and gassed it, then...

    Leaving th U.S.

    Dogdust - this has been going on for nearly a year now. You can search up several of the threads where we've discussed this exact topic. Basically, Janet Napalitano met with mucky-muckys from Mexico last year in June and agreed we would start checkpoints to try and stem the flow of guns and drug...

    Wind and waves not looking too good for RP this weekend...

    I tried. Jesus didn't want me to go fishing this weekend (more to follow in a different post). And yes, Buoyweather was spot on - it was very windy and whitecaps as far as I could see on Saturday. Didn't even bother to put the boat in the water. Came back home Saturday.

    RP boat

    It's a tank, for sure. But, it's a cheap tank! At that price, you could run it until it A) falls apart, or B) sinks and you wouldn't be out very much money. 46 gallons of gas - that's not going to get you very far at all. Little conflicting info there about gas tanks (item 4), then mention of...

    First Annual Rocky Point FUN RUN

    Hmmmm... 8th and 9th of May is the same weekend as the Grouper Tournament. I'll likely be down for that.

    mexico as a failed state

    THAT made me laugh!! Man, like I'm so toasted... I better log where the I put my stash on the GPS!! I'll never remember when I'm straight! Hahahah! Many a stash has been lost that way. Get wasted, then get paranoid and decide to hide the stash in some diabolical location, only not to...

    mexico as a failed state

    The guy that mowed down the bikers was on meth, but it could have been heroin, legally prescribed pills, crack or booze. No deflection there, DUI is DUI regardless of the substance involved. If it was booze, they wouldn't have been waiting for the toxicology results to arrest him yesterday; they...

    mexico as a failed state

    Absolutely correct. From law enforcement, to lawyers, to courtrooms, to prisons, to rehabilitation, there is a stack of money taller than the Empire State building that keeps those wheels turning as part of the war on drugs. The government is not going to let go of those dollars for one second...
