We set out on the road to see the sights.
This is a view of the ocean outside of our marina at San Carlos.
It was beautiful there.
We were able to see the sunset. Can you see the islands to the left of the sunset?
This is Paul. Paul works with me at our Monrovia facility. We have been working together in Mexico to help get the paint process back on track. Paul will be back here with me in one week to see if the process we set up is still being implemented.

GREAT DAY THREE
All of the employees here in Mexico are getting ready for Halloween.
There will be food, fun and costumes.
They are already decorating the factory like these pictures of some of the employees pictured as scary creatures.
I finally found the best food. It was just down the street from the factory. These great roast beef tacos were only one dollar.
This Scorpion was our newest friend. One of the painters tried to put on his smock to get ready to paint and he found this little buddy on his shoulder.

FIRST DAY
Here are a lot of spoiler boxes ready to ship to Boeing. We have 5 more to paint.
This was the last part that we need to ship for today. Is it good. Yes! We made the shipment for today. The next batch of parts were good too. Not bad for the first day.
These posters say that there is a Halloween party on Friday. It is a costume party at work here in Mexico. I will be here on friday for most of the day. What fun.
This is a real tarantula That walked in to the factory when the doors were left open on the loading dock. It was as big as my hand. Just in time for Halloween.
This was the restaurant that we ate in for dinner. Notice the pirate flag.

TOO MUCH FUN
We're back on the trail to Starbucks to do our daily postings.
The river walk goes all the way along the Colorado river. There is always something new to see.
I asked this bird to stay while I took his picture. He was kind enough to say yes. I had to put film in the camera, take a light reading, put a flash bulb in, take the picture. It took the mall forever to develop the film.
Here is Jerri with her pumpkin shirt. Starbucks is our daily routine because they have free WIFI.
This time we have a cool view out of our room window.

BACK TO LAUGHLIN
We're back in Laughlin again. This time we took a little water tour. It was great. We got on the boat and requested the farthest point that it went. We really got our money's worth.
Here comes out taxi now.
I decided to let Jerri ride with me. I'm so considerate.
This ride was almost like the jungle cruse at Disneyland. Too bad they did not have the "back side of water".
We passed all of the casinos along the river and saw a lot of boats too.

BACK TO CARS
Stephen has started to fix our 1997 Tracer. It started out with a problem with smog but soon we found that it has a bad head. Oh boy we're good at that.
A few bolts here and there and he will have it off.
This will be a great car when he gets it done.
I gave Stephen a little hand with the timing pulley. There is the new soda machine. We will be thirsty a lot with this project.

MY LATEST TOY
I found this soda machine on Craigs list. I only paid $50 for it.
It is marked 55 cents but you can program it to what ever amount you want.
It would not cool at first because the fan that cools the pump was bad. I replaced the fan with one from big lots for $7. Now it cools the soda to 37 degrees.
It will hold 7 different flavors. We already drank a lot as you can see. Not bad for $57

GREENHOUSE PROGRESS
It doesn't look like much but there has been some progress.
This is one of the two vents that help keep the greenhouse cool in the summer. It has an automatic opener that does not use any power. I bought two of them for $7.00 each. They are as high as $50.00 on the internet.
This is a view of the front where 11 panels will let light in and keep the cold out in the winter.
This morning I found this little helper in my garden.

LA COUNTY FAIR
Last week Jerri and I went to the LA county fair. we spent the day looking at all of the gadgets for sale. We even sat watching this guy cooking in $1,000 pots and pans. The food tasted the same as in our $5 set.
We are taking a break before we go looking for the garden show.
This was a cool place to rest.
I wish I had this train when the kids were little. Ok I still wish I had this train.
The last stop was the real train museum. There were about 8 engines and a lot of cars. I always try to remember to stop there.
