seems there were drafts pending publication. so i pushed the publish button and here they are.. my most recent post is the hellpopped post. gods and visitors help acapulco.

the world has lost a   true legend.

niki lauda was the personification of phoenix, actually raised from the flames into recovery and    again championship.

he was and still is an excellent example of what can be done despite all odds.

and he was a damned fine driver.

so wp has changed a lot in my site since my last posting.. i hope i can manage to make the appearance same as it was, as i liked what i finally configured.

itis christmas..holiday season for many different folks..

we may even have to go outside the home to meet up with others omg..

hopefully all are enjoying a cozy and comfortable time with family and friends.

bubba and chico are finally managing to tolerate each others company somewhat.. chico guards all home and contents along with bubba

we got a house to rent while fixing the m any issues with bird. poor boat has been thru some busy times without the needed maintenance .. before i got her she had a rough life, so tha tmust be addressed as well as personalization of interior and handling..the much needed repairs i sailed without performing need to be effected and so much more.

house is a 1 bedroom cute lil mexihouse in a very old section of mazatlan, aka 20 noviembre colonia. 50 yrs old and the lil houses arw very cool. mine is a box divided into 4 sections of equalish size, cochera, sala, kitchen and bedroom. patio out back is almost as big as house inside.. has fruit trees and a space for garden in which i want to grow foodstuffs.

there is a specific issue faced in the houses here, which is wicking of water from the high water table up in the concrete walls making the place look as if someone took a hammer to them and tried to destroy them so we will acid wash and dry acid wash then dry again and seal and paint..this should give the house at least 8 years of no ugliness inside and out.

cats are finally acclimating to house , neither has lived ion land since they were each very young..bubba didnt like this place for looong time– for 15.5 yrs he has lived in boat..why change, momms. is taking extra love and attention for him. he liked that home..chico is only 5 so is adapting easier.

life is always good-our choices make our challenges..

we need to go see owner of yard to make our deal for bird out of water experience. we are hoping this is not going to be a wallet breaker.

we have vendors passing by house regularly , which is awesome. fruits, veggies, nieves, gasa, even workers trying to find jobs, and collectors of stuff–appliances, cardboard, woods, everything. and abarrotes were a good vendor to catch. got a feather duster and a squeegie for the floors… as the larger superstores charge increasingly more, i use the vendors more often as pricing is less.. love my vendors.

so have yourself a merry lil christmas and enjoy life to the max.
