I am sure you are right...lessee? In 1956 and 57 I was a regular visitor to BAJA looking at the BIG boat ships ...In 1967 I was a team member of the
second place winners of the South East Asia war games. I saw BIG boats there too....DK ? PHONEY....

pablum...

Dk,
I was here in 1967 and got a photo of your dad!
Woke!

I was north bound, south of Punta Prieta, on 11-22 and saw a guy driving a Nissan Leaf towing a trailer with a generator on it.
That's dedication to the fuel source....

difference between a boat and a ship is - a boat moves when you step aboard

DK there's tons of happiness! It's just funny in that a ship that was seen 50 years ago has anything to do with a guy needing diesel today.
Nothing more nothing less. Just funny!

This morning we took a chance to make it to the intersection Highway 1 coz the gas station gave up saying ‘mañana’. Luckily we got 20lts (30pesos
per lt)at the garage place from Chunnu (adviced in Bay of LA). Later we filled up in Pemex happily.
Now propane, gas & home shopping done.

First rule of speaking Spanish vs. Mexicano is, ''manana'' doesn't mean 'tomorrow'.... just means 'not today'.

Back when I was in the Navy (yeah, I know, all the ships were wooden) we defined a ship as any vessel too large to be loaded upon a ship.
And, great advice on fuel in Baja. Again, way back when.... there was no pavement past Camalu, we always visited a few ranch houses when we ran low
and always scored enough to make the next gas stop.
And finally, whew.... sure is hard for some folks to restrain the effort to be funny on a serious post.... and of course fail in that effort, as in
"Sorry, not so funny"

NO, It has to do with trying to put the emphasis on you as the "EXPERT" on everything..Get someone to change your diaper, and stop whining and
crying...

Chuckie,
My oh my....you certainly contribute more critical and negative trolling lately....need a prescription review or what.
You make the Goat sound mellow...
Take a few deep breathes and back away from the keyboard next time you get the urge
Don't believe everything you think....

I didn't know they had rules on sulfur content back in 1967? That would be a factor for sure..Would that old diesel be any good after sitting so long?
Where would you even get it tested?
