Coco


Anyone seen Coco lately? Or where he is at? And how he is doing? Will be in his area in about three weeks.

Your right about that. But only if someone will report back to us that he's there. And a recent comment was he wasn't?????? He loves being gifted with a bag of oranges for sure.

My last trip to Coco's was in April, and he was in Ensenada at the time (according to his caretaker (foreground)).

After 110,000 mi., the original metal water pump seal...didn't. The Jeep has taken me to Baja several times, so these things are beginning to happen with greater frequency. Do I want a new Jeep payment? No way!

The radiator has was emptying itself faster than I could keep it filled. Most of the cooling system was replaced 2 months later.

We were at his place in early September and the caretaker came by while we were hanging out and said he was still in Ensenada.

It was really sad to see his place empty. All the beer cans glittering in the sun and whirling in the wind just isn't the same without him.

I was in BOLA a couple of weeks ago and heard that Coco was indeed back home. Apparently his place was vandalized and he lost his old sign in books. Don't know about the panties.

Son-in-law, Andy G., spent some time with Coco about ten days ago. Everyone had a fine time. I'll check Andy's Facebook. He might have some photos up.

It was good to see that Coco was doing well.

Coco . . .


We stopped by mid-September and the caretaker told us he was in Ensenada for more surgery. He didn't make it sound very good and didn't seem too confident about him coming back.

If Coco's anything, he's a survivor. I hope to see him later this month but I won't hold my breath.
