BajaBean it is bacquito.
Marc I did not cave to the PC group, although they made some valid points. I caved to my Mexican wife. (Second to the last post on pg one.) I
should not, cannot, will not disregard advice from the woman I love.

IMHO this PC invented by the liberals has gone to far. Back in the 50s all of my Mexican friends refereed to themselves as espaldas mojadas and they
referred to me as el gringo blanco and everyone was happy. One of our local car clubs was called the Bean Bandits and the even let me drive their hemi
powered Crosley dragster once.

It does get over the top at times. However, in the interest of on-line harmony I decided to go with the flow.
Forty years as a building contractor I learned not to antagonize my subcontractors or their employees. A good attitude has saved me a lot of money.

Welcome BajaBean. Nice to see some new blood here. Like your posts and you seem to be a open minded person with no axe to grind. Agree this is no
place for politics or religion. There is an Off Topic forum for the ones who want that.

You may know one of my kids. Gina, Eddie, Melissa, Adam. That is if you are a Hemet grad.

Been going back over the thread to respond to some kind folks I missed.
Thanks for the invitation trailrider. The only dirt bike I have is the Honda Trail 110. 45 mph max. Not one I would want to ride that far. My
Suzuki Vstrom would be my choice but I would have to change tires unless I stayed on the pavement. The bike weighs just shy of 500 lbs and even
though they call it a dual sport, off road is not its forte. My other two are strictly cruisers. My Valkyrie insterstate weighs in a 840 lbs and is
in no way off road capable.

Blanca, like Shari further up the coast, will make you feel like family and insist you have a great stay at their B&B's.

Yes, HHS grad. I don't recall any friends with the last name Bean. Possibly we knew each other as "nodding acquaintances."

Deb My oldest daughter, Gina graduated in 84. Tall about 5 11 dark hair. Must have been a big class. I knew the name of everyone in my class.
Have a great day.

I bought a 1200 sq. ft.1940s farm house on a half acre at 1445 Berkeley ave on the east end of Hemet in 2003 for 125K. Spent a year and 60k rehabing/
modernizing and adding on to make it a 2000 sq.ft. modern structure. Only lived in it for 6 months before my wife left me and had to sell it. That's
when i moved to Mexico. By the way, the Realtor that listed it also bought it for $350k (It had a large pool and pool house + a 30 x 40 foot garage
also)

Sorry for your loss DR but hey at least you made money on the house and was able to live your Baja dream.

Even though we made a big profit on that house I didn't end up making any money because the female judge in Hemet awarded my ex $2k/ month alimony for
60 months even though she was the one that left me, just because we were married for 40 years. I paid her a lump sum of $120k from my half of the
profit and moved to Mexico with only my SS to live on.

Can you live on SS in Mexico. I met a guy in La Paz who claimed he was living on 1500 a month. This was about 5 years ago.

For a lot of Americans, it is the only place one can live on the little check.
