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

I stay at his ranch a lot. For I quad from San Felipe and try to find all these great places you post on this web site and your own web site. David K.
Been camping there for some years. He said the last time I was there he was coming to the 250 race and going to stay at KiKi camp ground in San Felipe
and sleep in his truck. I said come and stay with me. Left my telephone number and he called, found him at rice and beans eatting dinner. So I said
come to my home and stay with us. And we went out on my sandrail to a great spot to watch the race. Then took him out another day out with my friends
on a jeep run out in the desert, he went to a few dinner partys, went out one night with the guys, about 25 guys who knew him had dinner. And the list
can go on and on. He had a great time and said he going to come and stay with us again.. We had the best time, I already miss him. So Tuesday when I
am going to the caves going to stop and see him again. If you ever get the chance to have him stay at your home, you must take it.. Memory are
wonderful.

TW.. I was sharing what I seen him like to eat at my home while he was here. Please take him the beans. For life is different when you live out where
he lives.
We also looked for those knee pads for him. I found them on the web site. They are called bucket boss, they are the flat tan leather ones with the
cream color felt inside. They are the old concrete knee pads.. If anyone has any please take them to him. For I went to home depot in El Centro they
did not having any..

I just happen to have 42 waist shorts, and XXL shirts that were my Dad's who passed away January 21st this year. Since we will be down for Easter we
will take the drive south from our place below San Felipe and deliver this clothing. If anyone has anything else we will happily take it to Coco as
well.
We leave San Diego on Friday March 30th and will be at our place for 9 days.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Another nice thing is a copy of WHERE THERE IS NO DOCTOR en espanol. He, like me, isn't getting any younger and a copy of this book may end up getting
him out of a jam.

Thanks so much for the post about what Coco would enjoy, bug. I always thought coco was diabetic though - is this not true? So I then thought to not
give things to him with too much sugar. Wrong? I'm printing out the list for safekeeping, and will definitely bring him the stuff he likes. When I
was there a couple weeks ago, in the hour that I was there, I think he had 8 visitors. He sure makes the world go around in his "Corner".

Hwy 5 down to Laguna Chapala. You'll see it on the map taking that route. That's the way I go now to avoid the chaos of northern HWY 1.
