  1. You mean a push reel type mower? Thought you were moving to Mexico City?
  2. All the more necessary to deal with a reliable dealer. S&S has the Mexican version of the NADA valuation guide to used cars.
  3. Couple years ago I had no problem getting my meds delivered thru iShop. The only issue was I had to pay duty on the supposed value even though the invoice showed zero cost to me. So I quit having them delivered to me and just waited until I went back NOB or someone brought them to me when they visited us.
  4. Just call around. I take it that you need the 20kg cylinder replaced. Use your rudimentary spanish or you will find someone at the other end of phone who speaks redimentary english.
  5. Yes, that was the accurate chronology. Mark was the last operator.
  6. It was actually the Spotlight Club when Mark Rome was managing it.
  7. I would talk to Luis at Rainbird up on Lazaro Cardenas.
  8. A good Garmin GPS with North American maps (Canada, US and Mexico) will guide you.
  9. What company is Canadian? Costco? I don't think so. Kirkland WA.
  10. The only issue I have had with car rentals in Mexico is with the insurance. They insist of my purchase of "optional liability". If I say that if it is optional, I don't want it. (Keep in mind that in Mexico, the liability insurance in on the car, not the driver. The policy paperwork is in the glovebox.) So when I try to decline it, they say it is required. And at up to $40US/day, it is more than the actual rental.
  11. I once used white potatoes in a classic gratin and they had such a high water content that the gratin was soupy and inedible. Russets, of which the "dirty" potatoes are kin, are preferred in many potato dishes.
  12. I would first try Pancho's and SuperLake. They are not in season here in the southeast US so I doubt they would be in stock there.
  13. So sorry Harry. You guys were some of first people we met after buying our house back in 2005.
  14. Price of a US passport going up $20 on Dec 27.
  15. Is there a nice selection of prime beef and seafood at Costco Galerias on the weekends?
  16. insuremytrip.com And Rick, France has not announced any measures. Germany has banned entrants from the UK (today's WSJ).
  17. When we sold our home in 2020, we had CFE and ILOX and that was fine. It does help to have your CURP on all the accounts.
  18. When we first came to Ajijic in 2008, the exchange rate for the US/MXP was 10. It is now 21. If one had a peso denominated bank account, the principal would have been cut in half. You would have had to have lots of interest to compensate for the loss of principal. People would be strongly advised to retain a US bank or brokerage account and never tell them you reside in Mexico.
