  1. Yesterday I watered my grass to keep it alive, then it started to rain about 4 hours later...☺️ (will try this trick next year)
  2. My barber told it was true, he just can't wait to get all the additional business. ☺️
  3. Ok, I ended up not going to Ocotlan but instead went to the Outlet plaza today to get my licence renewed. I used the website provided by mostly lost which list all offices in the Guadalajara area as well as their status (Closed/open). I booked an appointment on line Saturday morning and was given an appointment today at 11:10 am. I was in and out in 30 minutes and used my Simapa bill for my address. (the address on my CFE bill is somewhere on the moon..). Thanks Mostlylost for your help, I have pinned the website to my computer for future reference. Once I got my license I headed down to COSTCO for my 3 months trip. ☺️
  4. Thanks for posting this article Maincoons. Finally a dose of reality.
  5. Well the CETES 28 day interest rate keeps on tumbling. According to the Mexican central bank today it now pays only 5.15 % 😢
  6. Thanks for that information. I think I will try my luck in Ocotlan.
  7. Mostlylost, where is the main transito office. I was planning to go to the office located in the Plaza De Torres. Thanks
  8. Used Qualitas insurance for several years after Bellon ignored my renewal. They have an office in Chapala on the main drag.
  9. MtnMama. 4 years ago I had to do the same as the CFE bill was not in my name. Maybe the rules have changed.
  10. I will give you an update Monday evening. Of course I will take a CFE bill as a back up but I prefer the address as listed on my predial. (the secretaria de movilidad website is were I got the information).
  11. Just as an add on, you can also use your property tax receipt as proof of address. This was confirmed today by the office in Chapala were I paid my fee to get my drivers licence renewed which I will do this coming Monday in Guadalajara.
  12. Thanks mudgirl, will check with the local hardware stores. If I find one I will also check the blade dimension based on Kiko information.
  13. Are switchblades illegal in Mexico ? (thank you all for your feedback).
  14. Yes I think its called a switchblade.
  15. Several years ago I bought from a street vendor a "flip out knife" (you press a button and the blade rotates 180 degrees in to open position). Sadly I misplaced it most probably when gardening. Is there a store in the area that sells them ?
  16. In Santa Maria (Chapala) we had hail. Boy was I worried that is was going to be a repeat of last year which destroyed several cars.
  17. I noticed the other day at the hardware store located on the libriamento (across from the international school) that they were selling used welding machines, generators, etc..You may want to check with them as they were involved with the construction of the new hospital on the libramiento and I guess want to sell off stuff no longer needed.
  18. This protest is mainly about people having businesses on the Malecon and wanting to go back to work as well as the fact that they have received no compensation from the government (that is my understanding anyway). I do expect the police violence protest to spill over to chapala at some time in the future. Remember hungry people are dangerous people.
  19. I would not recommend travelling to Guadalajara for the moment. Suggest you check the video posted on the Informador website today and you will understand why.
  20. Poured in Santa Maria, plus dangerous winds and power outages.
  21. Darn thanks MC. Guess will have to drive to Belize ☺️
  22. Thanks you for your input. I think next week I will make a run to Costco. Yesterday out of curiosity I checked Soriana, Wallmart and La Paz, no Beer. Then I checked all the Tienda's in my neighborhood of Chapala, no Beer. When they were still selling about a week ago the can was going for 25 Pesos.... I enjoy a glass of wine when I eat out which was about..many months ago. 😊
  23. Does Costco in Guadalajara still have Beer on their inventory or has the entire country gone dry ? ☺️
  24. Yo1, do you know any in the GDL area ? I would be interested. Thanks
