San Miguel de Allende (which means St. Michael of Beyond) is at about 6700′ above sea level in the middle of Mexico. The town is over 400 years old. My driver Reyes Ortiz brought me from the airport in Leon to my friend Robin’s house in the Centro of San Miguel where he and Lana [...]

Finger wisdom

I found out from the orthepedic surgeon last week that I broke my finger. The tendon pulled a small piece of bone when it was twisted. It doesn’t hurt, thank God. I went for physcal therapy today to get it to straighten back out. She did ultra sound in water to make the tendons more [...]

Well, we’ve finally got the house painted. Mostly… We’re still working on painting and putting up trim. It’s Gray with White trim and looks Beautiful! It took me three or four days to scrape and mask everything off then we spent two days spraying the primer and base coat. I actually really enjoy doing this. [...]

On Friday Bettina and I ran away to have lunch at Govinda’s in LA. They have awesome, indian cousine, simple and good. We had some Reeds Extra Ginger brew there which inspired me to take Bettina to meet my old friend Chris Reed. My optimistic GPS said it was only twenty minutes away. Good thing [...]

Well it’s been a long time but I’ve finally fixed and upgraded my photo album on my personal site. I setup a new drag and drop admin area that resizes the photos. I also made the pop up photos larger. I’m thinking it would be nice to make the thumbnails larger as well and maybe [...]

Washed the truck windows and interior today and my PT got a bath. I spent some time in the morning hanging out with Jerry who is camping out in the roundpen while his new shelter is being built. He’s not one bit happy about it either. He distroyed a plastic tub I put hay in [...]
Early Frost

That early frost really did a number on my tomato plants. I got about five small tomatoes off of the same number of vines. The rest are still green and hanging on now dead plants. I’m not sure how the rest of the berries will fair but the ripe ones turned to mush. Hopefully some [...]

Paul and I are sick of the poor quality and workmanship of new stuff, vehicles included (though I still Love my PT) and have decided to each have an old car/truck to fix up over time (his is a 1965 Mustang). Unlike our newer cars that are covered in plastics and electronics that will soon [...]

When I met Paul his business partner was filing bankrupts and Paul was at least 30K in debt. He could have filed too but didn’t because he believes in paying off his own debts. I really respect that about him. I was living in a one room studio, an illegal addition to a house in [...]
The Day After

I’m recovering nicely the day after taking my first spill off of Jerry. I’ve never been bucked off a horse. I’ve fallen off a couple of times but never actually had the pleasure of being bounced and tossed on the ground like I was yesterday. I landed on my a rock, my phone (which probably [...]
