Number one, please note that a specification grade receptacle is different from a standard receptacle. Sort of like comparing a Michelin tire to a
Serene Butterfly brand made by the People's Liberation Army. Next to the pounding surf I do NOT want to change receptacles ever again. With multiple
strand only available wire here I solder 14 gauge X # 6 terminal block fork terminals onto the wire. Many spec grade receptacles have wire insert
holes on the rear that clamp down with the side clamping screws. Then I do not have to solder.
Number two: A similar mirror buffed untreated strap was pulled up from the dock in Sta Rosalia and was totally brown and badly pitted. So badly pitted
that if one had rubbed it lightly across the skin it would have drawn blood. One side of this strap had been sprayed with WD 40 until it dripped. Upon
pulling it out I could not tell which side had had the WD 40 applied to it.
I am far too cheap to save a dollar and lose 100. All my battery chargers have been disassembled and the internals have been coated with the witches
brew. Same for expensive LED flashlights, 190 LED rechargeable floodlight, GE spiral light bulbs, everything. No more Ben Franklin's flying out of my
wallet because of laziness.
I have been gardening all my life when I have the place and the time to do it. My place in Michoacan has 32 haden mango trees. Jesus and Eduardo call
me a manguero. I am importing a half ton of compost to be mixed with a ton of steer manure for my garden here. I have brought 7 kinds of lettuce 12
greens, three types of corn, broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, French carrots, 3 different potatoes, even Brussels Sprouts seeds. Am planting local garlic
today.
Try Googling BAY FARM SEEDS
Their seeds germinate. This is a professional seed dispensary in the midwest and not a joke like market seeds. Very high germination, almost uncanny.
Superb service and bulk seed quantities as well as samples packets.

I am also a fan of tropical fruit, was a member of the California Rare Fruit Growers, back in the 1980's... wrote about growing banana trees here.
Hice you could get south to where things like that do so well!
So, in Tecate, you probably didn't have a garden?

As Barry mentioned early in the morn just prior to shoving off a shot of WD-40 on your stuff and O that great smell.
Always carried in my boats,car and home never be without the stuff,some Duct tap and you are ready for anything

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.
