Cocos Battery
It was posted not long ago that Coco needed a battery for his little ATV. I believe it is a Suzuki ATV. Anyone know what model. I'll be going down his
way after the 1000 race passes thru and will take him some supplies.

Last July, I asked Coco if he needed anything from the Internet amigos... and he only asked for a new battery for the quad:

A bag of pinto beans and some canned chicken soup and maybe some canned tuna fish would help him. I am taking him some romex wire a battery for his
ATV and some food supplies. I gave him two pairs of knee guards last May.

If you go see him.. After spending 11 days with him I found out all the things he likes eatting.
Caffe D'Vita Mocha Cappuccino - Get from Costco
Choc chip cookies
Honey roasted cherriors
Milkyway bar
soup - chicken with rice or noodles
Pancake mix and syrup
choc milk
instant coffee
And don't for get the orange sugar free metamucil
Long yellow bannas
Roman tomatoes
Cuties oranges
42 inch waist if you have any pants or shorts..2XL for T Shirts
He would like a 10 x 10 piece of carpet, used car radio, baby kittens, twin Mattress and pillow.. He also needs old towels, he use them for his knees
as pads.
He got 14 sheet of metal 20 feet long to put on then roof of his wood building. He needs some help putting it on the roof of the building. He has the
nails and screws already, just needs some men to stop by and give him a good day of work.. Take a latter with you...or use your truck..
If I think of any thing else I will post it... And if he ask how you know all this, just tell him gloria told you.. My name not gloria, but he called
me gloria the whole 11 days. LOL

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't Coco diabetic? Much of that food list could send him to the hospital??

Your are right CoCo is DIABTIC. I work with him a lot and he has given me a lot of food over the last few years that people have given him that is
high in sugar and so on. He loves everybody and does not want to say no to them so he doesn't hurt their feelings.
I take the food items on down the road with me and had it out in San Ignacio and Mulege or where ever.

I took him some first aid supplies last month and he seemed very appreciative saying he was just about out of antibiotic ointment but I am not sure
exactly what he needs/uses in this regard. I think there have been postings from doctors that have worked with him. I would gladly put together
another care package and Fedex it to a Nomad going south if you want to U2U me if you know what might be the best (I'm in the first aid biz and took
him antibiotic ointment, gauze, coflex/co-wrap, cotton, antiseptic wipes.) He also loves veggies, peppers, limes, and lemons...oh...and has some
kitties again so some food for them might be appreciated!

Coco and the Mirror
Hey we rode from my house at K43 to cabo and stopped at Coco's both on the way down and back. We saw him last Sunday Nov 4th He is doing well and
very busy getting ready for the 1000. He now rides a blue ATV that looked like a Yamaha. He no longer rides the yellow one. His new ride is in great
shape and starts every time so no need for a battery.. What he told me he needed was a bracket for the handle bars to be able mount a mirror. He
needs both the bracket and the mirror. If any one has one he wouild appreciate it..
