We'll be going through around March 24th. I'd like to bring him something. Does anyone know what he might be able to use?

Fresh fruit and veggies are always appreciated! Canned would be the next best choice.

I've got the Sports Illustrated 2012 swim suit edition. Not sure I want to part with it but for Coco maybe.

Has anyone heard from Coco in the past week?

I'd like to head his direction next month, maybe catch him on his birthday.....

I saw him over new years and he told me he had another eye appointment but I forgot if it was the end of Jan. or first of Feb. Wouldn't hurt to stop by anyways to make sure things are OK.

A note... this thread started almost a year ago, so Coco will be 76 in 2013!

Among the things I can mention in polite company . . . . fried chicken. My wife and I are always talking about going down and cooking him up some!

Useful tools . . . I helped him bust his lug wrench once (his last) while trying to change a wheel on his truck. I think the tools-of-the-trade of a shade-tree mechanic would be appreciated: impact-driver, cheater-bar, better wrenches/sockets/screwdrivers than he has now.

He has always appreciated medical supplies like gauze/telfa pads, antibiotic ointment, cortisone cream, cohesive wrap and assorted bandages.

Otherwise, I think he has all he wants or needs. I think he's a lucky man. Of course, he would argue with this assertion . . .

Coco was at our campo 2 weeks ago and asked if anyone was heading his way could they bring him a couple of large bags of dry cat food for his kitties. He can only find small bags in San Felipe.
