Between feeling like i’m doing a lot and nothing at all. I guess both kind of true. Am I making some positive progress towards worthwhile goals? Yes, definitely. Is it as much as fast as I would like ? Pretty much never. One of the useful things about some amount of reference group / tracking… Continue reading tension

I’m learning about the sociopolitical world of Baja through this theft! Next step in reporting the crime is to go to La Paz’s Ministerio Publico and, after asking for an official translator, file an official complaint. Posting to the kiteboarding group and some detective work (aka typing a name into google) yield the name, phone… Continue reading procedimientos

At breakfast at Nomada, reminders. The importance of planning utility runs so you don’t wind up with a PVC wart. Also, what a nice bar! Both the bricks and the unsupported top. I want our bondtainers’ deck (ground level) to be like this. Should probably post to upwork or something to get clear answers on… Continue reading recuerda

We arrive back! I saw my Oculus Quest headset post to my facebook account about some game; unless it achieved sentience while we were away, I suspected someone had broken into our trailer and stolen it.

I only get mild heat brain, at most;) Flora Farms is our favorite restaurant we’ve found in Baja. Pro tip: you don’t need a reservation. I hope I… Continue reading Packed & Dined

How cool would it be to return from a month away and have 2 level, strong, easy-to-clear-goats-head-thorns-from cement slabs ready for me to build upon?Hopefully $20k of cool, as this is roughly what it’s gonna cost. 1 at 30’x40′ vaguely planned as a quonset hut or some such similar garage, and another 30’x30′ casita +… Continue reading Planning Slabbing

Adam makes *a lot* of progress with one days’ lessons. I should probably get OK with both my brothers being better at kiteboarding and spearfishing than me after 1/10th the hours spent on them. Sisters too, hopefully!:)
