    SMOKE HOUSE

    They were serving some nice brisket at the Wine/Telsa event this past weekend.
  2. Dr Marta is here on Thursdays. The best. Her office is between the two construction supply places on the carretera just west of TelMex. Go in there and make an appointment as the office is staffed during the week as there are several physicians based there.
  3. $4600p. Ran conduit from my electrical box up the side of the house to the roof (2 story house) and put a breaker box. Very professional.
  4. We got a Whirlpool from Tio Sams. They set us up with an electrical contractor to run a new 220V circuit and the Whirlpool techs to install the unit.
  5. Just got my latest bill and my 1200+ KwH surplus was still there. Have been running a surplus since 2010.
  6. Dialing a Mexican number you go 011-521-xxx-xxx-xxxx Note the 1 after the 52. Using the Mexican phone in the US, to call another US number, you 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx
  7. I bought a 18,000 btu Whirlpool mini-split from Tio Sams and they set up the electrician who ran a 220v line up to the mirador and a Whirlpool tech who installed the unit. It was about $18,000p total for all.
  8. Unlike most cities Double Decker buses, in Guadalajara you can't hop off and back on.
  9. Always check the OTHER box under reasons for trip.
  10. I see them on Saturday's on the Ajijic malecon about 8:50. I think they start out of the Nueva Posada about 8:30
  11. We bought a Whirlpool 18,000 btu from Tio Sam's last spring. It was $12,717. They arranged for an Electrician from Chapala to run a 220v line from our electrical "box" up to the mirador and installed a breaker box. Next a Whirlpool guy from Guadalajara came and installed the inside part, drilled a hole in the wall and connected the "plumbing" to the outside unit and connected the wiring. That was $4600 and $2300 respectively. The unit we have is the top of the line and will cool as well as heat. It is very quiet.
  12. Is Marlow's still open on Donato Guerra? Sometimes it is at SuperLake.
  13. Why don't you just buy the vape thing.
  14. Pete, Todd is what you and I said.
  15. Todd Strong has said for the past 10 years or so that the water is safe.
  16. If I were to go to the SP hospital in Joco and apply, what do I need to take with me, besides my RPerm card?
  17. There is no store like Restoration Hardware in Mexico. And you have to be more specific, like the RH of 20 years ago with lots of gadgets, housewares, etc or the more recent RH without all the stuff they had 20 years ago and more of a design center, a very expensive one.
  18. We have 6 or 7 panels for a 32,680 lt, 8600 gal pool. It will be as warm as you want it from late Feb on, including now. It is touch and go during the rainy season but decently above 80 most of the time.
  19. I have been running a surplus, now almost 2000 Kwh, since 2011 and they have never reset it.
  20. There is no good solar option for Mid-Nov thru Feb. If you have to use it during those months, get a gas heater.
  21. RV, that is what happened to our friends. They were Perm and Tourist when they returned. Didn't know it for 8 months, obviously being here illegally at that point.
  22. OK, I see that. I have always checked Tourism. Is that wrong now?
  23. ?? I am looking at the latest forms and do not see a box labeled "Other".
  24. Writing in permanent, big marker "Res Permanente" on both halves AND also make sure the immigration official marks the correct box in the grey area of the form. I know someone who was Permanent and immigration official checked the Tourist box and now he has to start his Permanent all over again. Big hassle. Where is the box you state is "OTHER"?
