Coco in need of assistance
I just received this email from a BajaNomad. I have highlight the need that is being requested. Any good BN heading that way...can sure make an old
man's life a bit easier.
Subject: Deno. Much grass from Cisco.
From: "Frank ******" <******@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, February 7, 2012 3:02 pm
To: deno@gigo.com
Really appreciated being able to spend the night at your "mini taco bell" last
month. Worked beautifully for me and saved some money for the gas tank. Really loved
what you have done there with the casa, whoo-hoo couldn't fit the barrio any better,
and the plants, just delightful. Sorry you are not able to spend more time there.
Pulled in after dark. Saw Lee at the restaurant (what a neat man) and gave him your
art work. He and the "hangers-on" in the place all agreed that "yep, that's him" and
chuckled a bit. Guess it's all O.K.
He then took the time from his place to light off his truck and personally escort me
to the casa rather than just giving directions. Really appreciated and hope to spend
more time in the neighborhood and eat some of his BBQ. Great first day out.
In the morning "Ben" came by to inquire as to what the **** I was doing there. Great
neighborhood patrol you got going. Gave his border collie a doggie bone and all was
well.
Next night at Coco's. If you know of anyone going down please get the word out that
he needs a battery for a 1984 Jeep "Eagle". His got ripped off while in the
hospital. He describes it as a small battery so don't know if just anything will
work.
Been beach camping and exploring (and TOTALLY away from the internet. "I saw the
news today. Oh boy...) so late with my thanks to you. Am at Bahia Asuncion now and
will be in this area for probably another month then back to hated NOB for
registration, insurance, doctor, dentist, bullchit and expense.
Hope all is well in mefezland and again Deno, MUCH GRASS!

Lee...thanks for the help!

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I will see Coco next week, I have a solar charge regulator for him. Unfortunately, I will be on a moto and won't have the ability to carry an
automobile battery....sounds like Sprocket will get that to him a week later....
The moto community at AdvRider watches him pretty regularly and we all value his ability to grin in the face of adversity. Shame on the thief who
would take material goods from this man.
