In the middle of fixing breakfast this morning -
"Grandpa, I pooped".
At least it didn't have time to dry.

Sun's out, glare off the ice crystals & sn*w is blinding.

61° and a nice breeze off the Gulf where the lady friend is for another week, they're having unusually cool weather. Would be nice to be there with the Ural, it could actually cruise over the speed limits there. Roads are just plowed sand, be a bit difficult to navigate with a Harley where the wind blows dunes across the road. Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. Here's some photos to take your mind off what it's like outside here. Except Lou and Jose, those lucky warm b....

Life is slow there


Building codes... what codes? Some of these have been under construction for years.


My favorite mode of transportation there, a 1947 Jeep.


Jeeping down the coast highway.


"Borrowed" the local cop car. Took a while to figure out how to start it, no ignition. Gas motor starts when you step on the gas. No gears, just one speed - slow.


Whimsical home decorations, not unusual there.


Sundown on the Gulf. That would be a multi million dollar house in California. No idea what it would be there.


Fortunately the house she's staying at has modern plumbing. My first trip to Mexico, one place had this. Sign on the door said, "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down". If you flushed, you were supposed to take the bucket outside and refill it. And never put toilet paper in the toilet bowl. If you forgot to bring your own toilet paper, that wouldn't be a problem...

Story time. So I get off the plane Friday night at o'hare and I have to make my way over to the convention center. I was thinking I would just take an uber when I walked outside and seen all the taxi cabs ready and waiting. So I thought screw it I'll take a cab. Not 5 minutes into the ride a lady looking at her phone walks right out in front of the cab. The Jamaican cab driver slams on his brakes and says " These people care more about their phones than their life!" He then proceeds to roll down his window and yell out "Get the F#$% out of the road lady"
Morale " You will not get this entertainment from an uber driver. Spend the extra money and take a cab.
