Yo Mex, How you holding out down south?

Was watching the weather channel marveling at the record high temps!

How are you setup? Are you out in the sticks under a tree or something? You off grid? what temps have you seen so far?

Inquiring minds want to know the complete details!

Thanks

    Here in the outpost, on the Pacific coast of Baja California, I slept under a comforter, but found it thrown off me at dawn. No NOT Dawn! Sunrise.

    Tonight, I will use a lighter blanket. It's around 85F at 10:45AM here inside a concrete building. But the Pacific ocean is only two blocks from where I am sitting.

    Yeah Roy, I have too many things, too much cargo waiting for me up north. Including an external hard drive, chock full of movies. Thanks to a certain "somebody" I listen to hours and hour of music, but mainly I am a reader. As of yesterday I have a $192 DEKA group 31 AGM waiting for me in San Diego. This is for the toad. Adios threat of battery problems!

    In July I call the medical center up north and see if they have received all my medical records. Last time I saw them they amounted to a pile 3-1/2" thick. Then I can get serious about front end alignment and valve job.

    1/2" exposed 2X4 plywood house. It gets hot. It gets chilly. I also pay $192.00 monthly for rent, housekeeping, domestic water and clothing washing and ironing service. Yup, that's the total plus around eight dollars a month electricity. Amparo, drives the toad 375 miles on the first of the month to go shopping. I sit alongside pressing an imaginary brake pedal.

    If we should get horribly hot=dry weather, I'll soak a sheet, wrap it around me and sit it front of a fan. The ocean temp here is 57F. Absolutely perfect for a heart attack. This is a La Niña, year. I don't even expect a tropical depression to get anywhere near.

    I lost the website for that store that sells MeanWell power supplies at a rock bottom price. Need more 36 volt 350 watt power supplies.

    Knowing MEX all these years I'm thinking he may have gone to an underground bunker where it is nice and cool... His summer home on the ocean side usually draws in all of the bad storms during the hurricane season...

    He's alive and well going through catalogs buying a bunch of neat things I guess. At least discussing all of them online here...
