A concession agreement between the Frac and the Municipal government is a contract that stipulates the Municipality agrees to concede provision of services such as street lighting, water and garbage collection to the Frac.

The Municipality of course continues to tax properties for services they no longer have to provide. Neat eh.

Very powerful. Thank you.

My father-In-law, who was a second father to me, suffered from a calcified esophagus after radiation cancer treatment twenty years before. He couldn’t stand a feeding tube.

After consultation with his Priest, He booked himself into an Ottawa hospital and stopped eating until he died. The memory haunts me still.

May I die a more peaceful, and managed death.

These days I almost never need or therefore get many $500 peso notes or bills when withdrawing funds from my local bank account. 

And as we well know, when going to an ATM, one gets most of his funds in the form of $500 peso bills.

I wish I had that issue. These days I find the 500 peso notes fly out of my hands at Walmart, Superlake and most restaurants we dine at.

I used Revolution for my first golden retriever (its applied directly to the skin)  but my current golden retriever had a bad reaction so I switch her to NEXGUARD which is taken orally once a month. Its expensive (380 pesos) but it also takes care of a whole array of other parasites and worms.

Yes, I've used NEXGUARD on our two dogs for the past four years with good results.

Between food, Vet visits, grooming and flea meds, dogs are expensive members of the family......but worth it to me.

Solar hot water heating is probably the best investment given the cost of propane. I would guess the payback is well less than two years.

We put in 22 panels @ 240 watts ten years ago along with solar hot water. We then gradually switched out all our gas appliances (except the BBQ and pizza oven) for electric.

My Northern friends are in disbelief when I tell them I spend 25 pesos a month for electricity (with a pool and landscape lighting) and 2,000 pesos annually for propane and it will only get better with AMLO at the helm.

I'm in Guadalajara regularly and probably do speed at times on the highway and I don't dispute the fines but at least Jalisco could justify the fines.

I use an app on my phone named Waze. I use it for driving directions, which you probably don't need. But I do, in Guadalajara at least. Anyway, it announces when a speed camera is ahead.  Pretty nice, although in the city traffic I'm not sure how anyone manages to go over the limit.

Great advice. Thanks. I'll fire up my Waze for the radar warnings and save a few grand a year.

Given your water pressure it sounds like you'll need to add a pressure system (pump and tank) in addition to your valves and spray heads.

As for the CFE credits, if you have a solar account, any credits you have are good on a 12 month rolling basis, and should be shown in the green info box on the back of the CFE bill; they are called "bolsa de energia" there.    Some bills show it, others do not......    Or just drop in at the CFE office and ask for the current credit and past 12 month breakdown of credits & use of them.    

12 month only rolling credits? I no longer feel guilty about using the CFE grid for only 25 pesos a month. I'm touched I'm supporting AMLO's energy initiatives.

Just curious, are you really talking about Mega Watts ? (one Mega Watt is one million Watts so its seems like a lot to me.)

Yup...megawatts. Photovoltaic and solar water heating here at Lakeside are a gift if you can afford the one-time upfront costs.

I haven't paid anymore than the 25 pesos a month for electricity in the ten years since I got many panels. That includes a swimming pool and a pressure system.

Five years ago during a kitchen renovation I switched to electric appliances. Now I use my heritage large propane tank to run my BBQ. I fill the propane tank each December whether I need to or not.

Overall though it does feel like we've had more cloudy weather this year and our solar power production is down from last year even though I cleaned the panels more often to keep them at top production.

With the year nearly over we will produce about 7.8 MWh as opposed to 8.15 last year.  Our highest year since installing the system was 8.22 and this year seems to mirror 2018 when we produced 7.78 MWh.  Interestingly our data shows significant dips in production in June of that year and also this one, apparently due to a lot of cloudy weather (relatively speaking, for us).

 

And of course the panels drop in efficiency year over year.

I wish CFE would be required to show me my accumulated megawatts. Then I wouldn't feel so guilty about using their grid for only 25 pesos a month.

Am I allowed to fish?

Can anyone please provide me with contact information for a qualified gas fitter?

I currently have a line running from the main propane tank to my BBQ. The line and fittings are copper water pipe and I'm concerned. I need someone who can provide a safe, exterior, shielded gas line.
