Late morning hello!

Taco Bell rules! Nothing like cheap and quick Mexican-ish food. Girl works with me wants to get married there. She loves it that much.
Neat how the squirrels came up to Lou. Wow.

Sometimes I go into the POD and to start to read some of the crap. Typically I will fall asleep in no time, that boring.

I didn't meet a Mexican until I was in my late 20's.

By U.S. American standards, there aren't any Mexican restaurants in Mexico. What we call Mexican is TexMex, quite different. Their food is seldom real spicy, and the hot stuff is in separate bowls you put on as you want it. I didn't see many Mexicans using much of the hot stuff, though a few of them obviously liked it. Never saw beans in Mexico, either. Asked about that, and was told rice is more popular. They tend to go real light on the meat, too, its expensive there.

I've pulled wheel bearings with grit in them that probably came from pressure washing. My old Yamaha trail bike's rear bearing was full of grit and rust, was a wonder it still worked. I've pulled tube tires that were wet inside, pressure washing can force water into the rim at the spoke holes.

Hi Chuck & Tim. Been a couple years since I've been out on a boat, decades since I owned one.
