Sorry I had to leave this scintillating repartee yesterday but I had work to do. Ugh what an offensive word. No I do not have a job. We buy fixers
and rehab them for resale. I see two motos above. How many of you baja dogs ride? I have four myself, well three and a half. One is a Honda Trail
110. The others are street cruisers and a dual sport. Photo to follow if I can figure out how to do it.
This should be my last post as BajaBeaner since Doug has indicated the change will be made as soon as I responded to his e-mail, which I have done.
Hopefully this thread will survive. Seeya

Where I live. Hemet, SE of Riverside, 13 miles E of the 215. Not always houses. We do mobile homes too but only if the lot is owned, not in a park
with monthly rental fees.

Your name is changed, no more -er. Another option might have been "Bean2Baja" When asked, "Been to Baja?" you can say yes, that's me! Okay, enough
jokes, I'm at the dentist office.

Unknown, bajacali........... jeeez and they were on me about my handle. Well it is also true of me. Born and raised in Cali, my father as well. RIP
We tried northern Utah 4 yrs, could not take the winters. Ten years in Las Vegas and then back to N county San Diego. After we both retired we
returned to my hometown, such as it is. Not much going on here. This is geezerville for sure. I am 70 my wife 68 and we are the youngsters of the
hood. I would be living in Baja if I had my druthers but I would have to get a divorce to do it. Strange, cause I am 100 percent blue eyed gringo
and she is 100 percent Mexican, though born in the US. Too far from the grandchildren she says.

By the way David is your dentist in San Diego or TJ? I had a root canal in TJ and it was very well done according to my local dentist. Cost me about
a third of what the wanted here. Took the trolley to the border and walked across. They sent a car for me and took me back after completion. The
office looked like any you would find in the states.

My dentist is in Vista... it was just the 6 month exam/cleaning. No drugs or gas, I am brave (my dad was a dentist, so no fear here).
The man who is responsible for me getting hooked on Baja (as he was hooked too, along with my mom)...
My dad and I at La Paz at the ferry to Mazatlan, 1966 (after driving down the 'road' 1,000 miles from Tijuana to Cabo, 800 miles unpaved, 600 not even
graded.
My dad and I on the fairly new road to the observatories in Baja, 1972...
My dad's last Baja trip, 1983 to Laguna Manuela....

I'm impressed!
Wow! Your very first post is a three bagger already, and counting!
Good call getting your handle changed right away, I don't care about P.C. but dropping the 'er' has a better sound and will be trouble free.
I have to confess, when I registered on this forum, I spent almost no time thinking of a user name, I just wanted to find an answer to two questions
and then move on. I am basically a Newbie that over posted my way to Nomad status before I started questioning my choice, but now I think I am stuck
with it.
Anyway, it has been fun and enlightening here, and it is the only forum I have ever participated in. I don't feel like I need to respond to
everything that I disagree with, although I might if I can stay on topic, and I am getting pretty good at ignoring cheap shots.
Welcome to the board!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Well David you have a long and illustrious history in Baja. My first trip was in 1965 to San Felipe and beyond. As far as Puertocitos if memory
serves. Spent a week fishing and eating the local food and had a great time. On the return we stopped in Escondido where we were all poisoned with
rotten hamburgers. Took me 10 days to recover.
AK thanks for the welcome. You appear to have an enlightened outlook regarding the use of this forum.

Welcome!
Good to have you join us- hope you find some travel partners to get you South again.
Your nomad name-change saga reminded me of an old joke:
How do you translate "como esta frijole?"
.
.
.
"How you bean!"
Enjoy the ride, on and off the nomad discussion board.

Welcome, Bean, from another Hemetite! I've lived in and out of the area, but have spent much of my life here. After making much of the fact, during my
youth, that we we were surrounded by old fogies, I find myself back home again, working on joining the ranks.

Yuk Yuk You two should be on stage ... the first one leaving town.
But thank you both for putting your spoons in the pot.

Well Hi to you fellow Hemeroid. Did you go to school here? If so what year did you graduate? I was released from that prison in 1962.

Regarding my handle we have two for change and one for not.
I suppose this could be construed as a poll.
By the way does a reply count as a post toward the lofty goal of 25 to become eligible for an avatar? |
Stay with bajabean!!

You caved to the PC guys.  The ones who come at you with gentle words about
why you should change your handle are the most obsessed with race. IMHO.
