That's a shack? I must live in a hovel. :O

I took quite a few pics of it last week for the new occupant. Diaz is supposed to install new stone tile flooring.

I'm thinking I'll be hanging out at Bob's place quite a bit!

Robert Mann and Pam are great people we enjoy our visits with them very much. After loosing out on the last house, we are so happy to hear of their success in getting this one. Hope to see them in May/june.:bounce:

Big pair of shoes to fit into, Bob53. We're all with you and welcome to BajaNomad. :biggrin:

I'll try harder.

Welcome to Baja Nomad Bob53!

Camped there at Beach Bob's once in 2002 and would see him at the Camp Gecko New Years fiestas (2001-2005).

I am sure you will find lot's of enjoyment living or vacationing there.

Bob53 - 2-25-2014 at 10:58 AM

Thanks everyone! I've been going to BOLA since the 70s. I really love it down there. Beach Bob was a good guy and it's going to be hard to live there and not think about him every day. I am just happy to be able to keep his vibe alive and provide a social place where friends can come by and continue Bob's epic quest to solve the world's problems. I'll be probably having a small party around the end of May or early June so I'll keep everyone posted.

woody with a view - 2-25-2014 at 11:33 AM

if it works for you we'll be there june 7-14.

That is very hospitable of you! Bob would be so happy to know the party will live on!

BajaBlanca - 2-25-2014 at 03:17 PM

Welcome Bob! Enjoy that new home of yours, it looks wonderful.

The Party Lives Forever and the memory of Beach Bob will never die!

David K - 2-25-2014 at 04:27 PM

I think this photo taken by Bedman on Dec. 31, 2001 is my favorite of Beach Bob...




Give 'em Hell, Bob!:cool:

Doug/Vamonos - 2-26-2014 at 10:06 AM

Hey Bob53! Hope ur gonna have a decent stereo in that place (and beer cooler!). Bob53's House of Rock! This will be a fun summer. I'm looking at May 29 till June 10 or so.

55steve - 2-26-2014 at 10:51 AM

Gonna need a decent generator to power the amps...

libby - 2-26-2014 at 11:59 AM

Looking forward to having you as our new neighbor Bob. Although I really miss BB, I'm sure we will become good friends! Welcome neighbor!

Bob53 - 2-26-2014 at 04:56 PM

Ok...
Good stereo...check
Good beer cooler...check
Decent generator...check

Since everything is gone from the house, I need to find some furnishings.

Libby-Looking forward to having you as a neighbor and developing a long lasting friendship.

Doug-Fun summer indeed. I should be down there around the same time.

Bob53 - 3-4-2014 at 01:53 PM

New roof is going on this week and new tile floors starting next week.

Sorry to hear about your dad, Bob, i cant think of a more beautiful resting place. I am sure his presence will bring you many fish!

woody with a view - 3-4-2014 at 07:46 PM

Agreed, heck it'll prolly bring us all more fish!

Bob53 - 3-4-2014 at 07:52 PM

Thanks, Connie and woody. Actually he passed quite a while ago. He wanted his ashes scattered but I hadn't decided where until recently.

By the way, pretty cool shirts, woody.

woody with a view - 3-4-2014 at 07:58 PM

Thanks, i take them everywhere so we'll see ya in june. i still gotta present for your casa.

Doug/Vamonos - 3-10-2014 at 07:05 AM

Just returned home and peeked in ur windows while I was there. The tiled floor will look great! That's exactly what I thought u needed when I looked inside. And furniture! That's a pretty big room to fill. I really had a difficult time leaving. Ready to spend MUCH more time south. Decided to head down the thurs before memorial day for 16 days. that should help! The nice thing about a little separation (BB casa from Gecko) is the stereo can crank the tunes without peeing off the neighbors! Sometimes I have to keep it mellow to keep people happy. see ya.

Bob53 - 8-28-2014 at 06:27 PM

Update - The place is really coming along. Installed a nice solar system, with a huge amount of help from Larry C. I couldn't have done it without him. New appliances and furniture. A new water tank and other misc. stuff. I will add some photos at a later date.

And Woody... still waiting for that house warming gift you promised. lol

Hi Bob,
did you ever hear the story about Beach Bob discovering a dead horse in his pila? Larry C or Bedman can fill you in. As I'm sure you've heard, there's been some crazy stuff happen there.:cool:
Might be down first of October and will stop by.

larryC - 8-29-2014 at 09:18 AM

I never heard of a dead horse in Bob's pila. His pila was an underground pila so I can't imagine how a horse could get into there. It would have to be a really thirsty horse. I guess where there is a will there is a way.

On second thought, it seems that I do remember something about a horse falling through the roof of the pila, I think it was only one leg that went into the pit and not the whole horse. Hard to remember 'cause there are so many Beach Bob stories.

Martyman - 8-29-2014 at 02:38 PM

It seems like BB's place was ready to go. Why did you have to get a new solar, pila etc.? Did the Diaz's abscond with it?

Beach Bob left everything to Ponsonia. There was nothing left when I got the place. The pila was nasty so it will just be used for watering plants, hosing off the boat, etc.

And everyones definition of a solar system is different. The old beach bob's solar system was pretty basic. The new solar system will run a full size elec refrigerator, TV, computer, internet system, and lights no problem.

Marc - 8-31-2014 at 08:06 AM

I've seen this place many times from the water. Very nice!

I actually do remember a similar story but I thought that the horse survived. Not positive tho. Looking forward to your visit in October. I'll only be there from 10/1 till 10/13.

Looking forward to it, Connie. That is if we don't get washed away.
