To err is hunam.

To generalize is to be an idiot.

Work harder: millions on welfare depend on you.

Work is the curse of the drinking class.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

Worry is a misuse of the imagination.

You are only truly in control of your life when you accept you are not.

You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.

You can observe a lot just by watching.

You can tune a piano, but you can�t tuna fish.

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

You don�t have to explain something you never said.

You don�t learn anything the second time a mule kicks you.

You have enemies? Good. That means you�ve stood up for something, sometime in your life. � Winston Churchill

You may delay, but Time will not. � Benjamin Franklin

You will be a winner today. Pick a fight with a four-year-old.

You�re driving a car. It isn�t a telephone booth, a beauty parlor or a restaurant.

You�re just jealous because the little voices only talk to me.

You�re not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.

You�re only young once, but you can be immature forever.

Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with.

has David crossed over? I wasnt aware of his passing. RIP sir.

David Eidell, known as 'Dah-veed' on Amigos de Baja...

I met him in February 2000 when he joined a meeting we had in San Clemente, arriving with Wild Bill... Six months later, he attended my first Viva Baja party:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In May 2001, was my second Viva Baja. Here is Dah-veed with Tom (El Jefe):


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In late June & July of 2001, Amo Pescar and I asked Dah-veed to be our guest on the test run of Viva Baja Tours as he had opinions on Mexico tourism and did write for the People's Guide to Mexico blog:


El Jefe and Paulina with Dah-veed at Cielito Lindo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On our Lost Mission Search, south of L.A. Bay, Dah-veed met a cholla!



Here, Neal Johns (an aridologist) extracts the cholla from David's leg.

This causes Nasa/ JPL missions engineer Mike Humfreville to carefully study the cholla for possible spaceship design ideas....


At our stop in Las Flores.

Christopher, El Camote, Desert Rat, and David Eidell check on P.O.T. and the Humfreville's along the rough road to Puertecitos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I often drove to Dah-veed's mobile home in Tecate, USA to visit. He was dealing with some health issues but was most comfortable being close to Mexico. Dah-veed was not able to attend Viva Baja 3 (May 2002) but he did give me a book to give away as a door prize...

Is this the same David that lived in Bahia Asuncion for a while and then moved to be closer to his kids on the mainland?

chippy - 7-4-2018 at 09:08 AM

He was still spewing his fake Mexican history as of 2 mos. ago on Tomzap under the handle of wanderer.

BajaBlanca - 7-4-2018 at 09:11 AM

great to hear he is alive and kicking!

I am one of the 5/9s of people with an attention span too short to make it through a list that long, no matter how clever the lines are. At least it is in alphabetical order so I can find where I left off later!

not "el codo"! :rolleyes:

Sometime in the distant past I recall "Mexicowanderer" as David E., from the early days on Baja Nomads, and have just read his latetest post found on RV.Net's "RVing on Mexico and South America"s Forum," there. He was warning new Forum administrater, TallyHo, recently moved to Zihautenejo, (and others of course) where to find places mosquitos lay her eggs, and some hints on how to beat the heat. He has been a regular contributer to that forum, and shows a remarkable intellect on many aspects of human endeavour, in my humble opinion.

willardguy - 7-4-2018 at 11:57 AM

he made himself pretty scarce after Debra (DEP) called him out.....believe what you will. :coolup:

David K - 7-4-2018 at 12:30 PM

He got quite a reputation in Mazatlan after he left his Tecate USA home on a "walkabout" through Mexico.
Dah-veed would later make an appearance in Mulegé then showed up in Bahía Asunción where Shari was available to help him, often.
He has quite the talent for the spoken language and he was a great automotive electrician.

I'll give him a pass on that. If "true" Mexican history is anything like the "true" American history I learned in grade school, it's VERY open to interpretation.

History is written by the victors-Winston Churchill (or so attributed)

I´m talking about his personal history in Mexico of which 90% is pure bs.
