Better than rocks on a river, I guess. <br /><br />We have a little portable charger we carry in the trunk, and occasionally charge with house current. It has saved our tocino more than once when we had a dead battery. And, for backup, we have a set of jumper cables. The Capt recently lent the charger to a neighbor. He's just lucky we didn't have a dead battery, Murphy's Law being in effect lately.1st Matehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276608080436409432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-80701241857667756802009-09-18T08:52:59.224-05:002009-09-18T08:52:59.224-05:00Yes, Gloria, I will give your regards to Gina now ...Yes, Gloria, I will give your regards to Gina now that we are speaking again :)<br /><br />Nancy,<br />A "timbre" is also a "campanilla" but a "campanilla" is also an "uvula", the little flap that hangs down in the back of your mouth and a very loud door buzzer is called a "chicharra" which also means "cicada" and on and on it goes. There is no end to it :)<br /><br />Calypso,<br />Yes but the only problem is that she is 220 volts and I am only wired for 110 :)<br /><br />Tulum,<br />Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes I think I would be happier if I could walk everywhere that I need to go or ride a bike and yes, fresh milk is very nice but it is also fattening. Seems like there is always a trade-off :)Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-35536223215484512992009-09-18T08:01:30.769-05:002009-09-18T08:01:30.769-05:00Man, I miss having car troubles. having car troub...Man, I miss having car troubles. having car troubles means that you have a car. :) I am glad that you got it going again.

Our paper had a story about the post office here in Mazatlan (really) being out of stamps for ages!<br /><br />Just goes to show and all that!

My car is always up and running. knock knock.:) glad you got your car running. Yes do clean off those cables once in a while. Also I checked out that site, MexicoCooks and that recipe looks great except for one thing. I don't think I would like the boiled egg in the middle. I'll stick to arroz y cebolla. Thanks for the link. Take care of that car and yourself. Regards to the battery cable lender. heheheeeGlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.com
