Anyone know where I can buy one, preferably in the Lake Chapala area, or anyone have one to spare?

Okay, I will put this at the bottom of the list. An accurate thermometer would be more desirable.

The notions store on the plaza in Ajijic. I have bought several there. If you want accurate take one you know is accurate along with you and compare it to the various ones on sale.

When I picked up these two, they were the last on the shelf, so there was no way to know. In Canada, if one learns anything, it is how to test a thermometer before buying it, but I was trapped this time. And I figured my chances were 50-50, which indeed panned out. Now, if I could just figure out which one is accurate...

Put the thermometer in a container with ice. Let it sit for a while, until the thermometer reads 32F/0C and is stable at that temperature with ice still remaining & melting. If it does not read that temperature, but the ice is still melting, slip the indicator to the correct reading; the melting point of ice.

They don't like you doing that in the store before you buy it.

Does it really matter..................mas o menos..................

My sentiments exactly. I have an outdoor thermometer and if reads 61 or less, I wear jeans to breakfast. 62 or more I wear shorts. The rest of the numbers are irrelevant.
