Hey Keri!
Debra - 8-13-2004 at 06:31 PM
I knew there was some reason I liked you. Neil Diamond is one of my favorites also, I've been to every concert he's ever had up here since 1974 (6,
this was years ago), He sure puts on a great show! When he opened once with "Solamon" (sp?) with all the kettle drums, harp, wood winds and
everything years ago, (I counted something like 17 pieces) I'm getting goose bumps right now remembering!
"Ole Skeeters Behind"
Skeet/Loreto - 8-13-2004 at 07:07 PM
"Ole Skeeter and his new Bride packed our old Chevy and headed from Loreto to San Giroiorgo{South of San Juanicto on the pacific} oh so many years
ago!!
Loaded with 5 Days of ice and Water we traversed from Kilometer 79 over a very rough Road,up and over the Mountains through San Ysidro to a small side
road and finally our own Camping Spot on the BeachAll to ourselves!!
Catching so many Corvina, feeding the Doplhins from our Hands, vhecking out the swollen remains of a 40 Ft. Whale
The Sand was White, the Moon was rising as we lay in the Shallow water "Naked as Jaybirds" Listening to the many sounds of the ocean and Beach life
Music to our Ears,stimulation to our Senses,making "Wild and Passoniate Love with "No Holds Barred"
1984 so many years ago, my behind is still red from the Sand!!!

I need to hear more about a 5 day supply of ice? How did you do that?????
I have led a protected life...

Funny things happen in the coves of THE SEA of CORTEZDebra - 8-13-2004 at 08:17 PM
It's all in the leverage....Guess you will have to plan a trip while one of us "Bad Baja Babes" (Paulina is a good teacher) are around to have a
demonstration.....I'm almost 50 and I just learned (well, 2 summers ago, I'm not a beer drinker normally, although my Baja friends would tell you
differently) I went out to the lake here at home with my 24yr. old son yesterday and opened my soda with a lighter, my son was outragged! "Mom!,
where did you learn to do that?!", "Old Mom's can learn new tricks" I say......He just shook his head at me! Germanicus - 8-13-2004 at 08:27 PM
five days supply of ice ?????????
Did you use that for cooling the beer or fighting a certain gravity to regenerate?
I did something like that in France w/ my wife > 3 days on the beach.
I couldn't walk after the 3rd day as the salt was eating me up from below.
3 days without shover? Never again for the rest of my life.
But anyway, it was fun. Markitos - 8-13-2004 at 08:29 PM
Gota be cool with the Kiddies!! Some day they will be teaching they'r kiddies the same tricks.

markitos > I assume you got no kids yet.
I do have a 25 year old boy > still singel as he is smart.
He flies from flower to flower (I just told him to make sure that no pollen are sticking on a one) and you won't belive: I never tought him a damn >>>
he figured it out all on his own.
Notice: kids are generally smarter than the old guys.
That's the problem of every generation.
Have fun with the trying!

i dunno - scallops, merlot, santispac, grateful dead and sitting naked in my beach chair in the deep of night with hale-bopp streaking overhead was
pretty darn b-tchin....
5 Days of ice!
Skeet/Loreto - 8-14-2004 at 03:13 AM
At the Start of my Adventure on the Sea of Cortez, Loreto and the Pacifico,there was in Loreto and Ice Plant. This Ice Plant was an Antique in that it
operated with Large Cannisters placed in a Vat surronded by circulating Salt Water. there were only 16 of these Cannisters so it was very important
to get your ice, pack it into your Ice chest the day before fishing.
We had the Ice Man make the Ice real Hard, then we put it into a good Ice Chest, taped the opening and would not open it but once a Day, keeping
another chest to operate with, this way we could catch as many as 105 Losters at a time ,have fun, and return to Loreto.whereby the Lobsters were
frozen for future use.
If you will take Cardboard, place on the bottom of the Chest, then fill up any void spaces, you can keep more than 5 days and still have Ice.
Tequilla was much better than Beer at that time of my Life!!!, it being the Second most important thing in my Life."Dancing to the Music of the Waves'
which ended up "Rolling in the Sand" with you Love was always "First'.
If you "Young Ladies" have never experienced an "Ole Texas cowboy" gliding you across the dance floor, in a "Waltz Across Texas with You"maybe you
should take a Trip to the many "Dance halls' around Ft. Worth, Texas. You haven't lived til a Cowboy ask you to Dance to some of that good "Belly
rubbing ,.Beer Drinking Western Music!!!
Those beautifull Ladies swoon after the first round on the Floor, then take your hand and lead you to the Parking Lot and Make Love to you!!!
Oh!! the Memories!!

longer than 5 days
fishinrich - 8-14-2004 at 06:10 AM
If you really want to keep that ice for a long time take a large cooler and pack it with ice, air pockets are no bueno. Then slip it into a sleeping
bag and zip it up. You would be amazed how long the ice lasts even in hot weather. Of course keep it out of the sun. The ice chest sweats inside
the sleeping bag and the condensation keeps it really cool. This method works better than burying the ice chest. always chillin---fishin rich
Well, you guys
jrbaja - 8-14-2004 at 06:52 AM
have turned my one attempt at being civil into how to keep ice cold in an ice chest!
Yall are some frigid bastads!
It's back to ranting about gringos for me hahahahahahahahaha
GOOOOODDD ONE Jr!
Debra - 8-14-2004 at 07:18 AM
Skeeter, you brought back some very fond memories of "Twin Sisters" dance hall outside of Blanco Tx. They would have a dance on Sat. nights, big
"doins" for the small town of 500 (1984) me being a city girl I especially loved the whole family, country thing (I miss Texas)....all the kids would
come, and little girls would be dancing with their Daddys, Yes, there was beer served, but, nobody got drunk and stupid (I think probebly because of
the children) Those were "the days" Mexitron - 8-14-2004 at 07:20 AM
Yah pappy!!!!Germanicus - 8-14-2004 at 08:02 AM
question to Debra: if you miss Texas so much, do you got property in BCS???
I got lots of land here in Fredericksburg/TX. so why don't you think about switching?
> and you love Fredericksburg as you said in another post.
(Hey switchin was a threat some weeks ago and somebody said: Texas against Baja: NO WAY!)
But there is one major drawback today to those days you are remembering.
Today most of the guys @ Saturdays night dances get drunken (even the under 21, they love it) and fist fights are common.
No matter if that is around Fort-Worth or Blanco/Fredericksburg or elsewhere.
The good ol' days are over, we younger mid-aged-guys in our 60's and 70's have to acknowledge that
How to cool ice in a chest: What really helps is putting an old and large towel around and keep that wet.
as water evaporates it produces cold.
Even salt water helps very good if the towel is kept very wet all the time.
Somehow it's the same method like fishinrich is talking about.
Have fun @ the Baja , Texas is not the real thing!

You are in a "Bad" section of Texas. You should come up to the Panhandle where my Wife and I attented the "Cowboy Church of Amarillo" last Saturday
Night.
Church was formed a couple of years ago with Arena and Pens located to the Rear of the church. Instead of going out and getting Drunk at the "Caravan"
on Sat. Nite, they come to Church, Good Music, Kids are trained on Sunday after Church in Bull-dogging, Roping, Barrell riding etc.!
It is growing so fast that a New Building is in the Works.
At the recent "Panhandle Working Cowboys Rodeo, there was 600 Lbs. of Calf Fries servved along with Keystone Beer. I DID NOT SEE ANYONE DRUNK OUT OF
AT LEAST 500 Cowboys and their Families.
I do have a 10Mtr. x 30 Mtr. Lot about a block off the Water in Loreto for Sale. Asking $25,000. What do you have to Trade?
listening to
Marvin Gaye with said full moon.

We always danced to Neil Diamond. That was our favorite.
