    Who's going down this weekend.......

    Sorry I didn't look at the gas prices.....but diesel on Monday (2/17) was 7.36 pesos/liter....which comes out to $2/gallon. The exchange rate was running around 14 pesos/dollar (NOT at the gas station...but at the banks).

    HELP LOST KAYAKERS

    I hope the girls are found. With the water temperatures, they are at a very high risk of hypothermia. Having ridden out there on large jetskis, the best bet to find them because of their very low profile, and the rough waters, is from the air. You might not be able to see them from a couple...

    Not trying to hijack this...but I have 3 kayaks I'l like to get rid of....haven't used them in a few years.....2 are sit on top...a one seater, and a 2 seater. The 2 seater is very stable....used it extensively at RP before I got jetskis. Never flipped it. The one seater is great for surfing...

    Launching in the harbor

    Yeah...I always paid "tips" to a couple of regulars at the harbor...who helped with the launch (very little required with jetskis), and "watched" my truck. The guy collecting the fees charged me $10 (for 2 jetskis)....I think I'll be driving out to Cholla instead! Burn a bit more...

    Launching in the harbor

    Haven't launched my jetskis in the harbor for a couple of months. Had them down this past weekend. When we went to launch them in the harbor (where the fishermen do), was told we had to pay $5 PER SKI to be able to launch and park. When did this start...and what's the story? The guy...

    GOOD NEWS!!

    Kenny...I'm glad to hear of the good news. My dad died when he was just 50 (cancer)....he had been a heavy smoker when he was younger, although he did quit. I guess he didn't quit soon enough...or maybe it was those cheap, unfiltered cigs they had in Europe.... Again...glad to hear things...

    Passport card

    Although they may accept a "copy" of a birth certificate, the requirement is for the "original"....plus an "official" government issued ID, like a drivers license. Time is running out on this requirement.....2009 is just around the corner.

    Crossing on 10/26

    When you have 3 agents standing around chatting in one lane by the booth, while people wait on line, or when you have Customs working "for" ADOT (diesel comment) and sending people to the detailed inspection station, or asking stupid questions, when you have everything (papers) in order and...
