THANKSGIVING DINNER

It's about time I earned my keep around here.
That bird looks good enough to eat.
Finally we all sit down for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Too bad we don't have much to eat.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

THANKSGIVING DAY

After breakfast it's back to the garage. I put the hoses on the fuel pump correct this time.
Next we worked on the electric fan.
It seems she is ready to start now. Check out the video at the bottom.
Jerri Sue's dad rests after a long day of supervising me.

OFF TO DINNER

We all went out to dinner. Here is Jerri Sue and her dad at a Mexican restaurant.
Marie and Jerri sue enjoy their Margarita.
Here is old sour puss. ( just eat the chips)

WE ARRIVE AT DADS

After we arrive we learn that the hospital postponed the operation for a couple of weeks. Jerri Sue's dad has been restoring this 1957 Ranchero for years. We learned that all it needed to be running was a new fuel pump.
You guessed it. Here we go again. Working on cars for Thanksgiving.
You have to be very special to work on his baby. (that's what they told me)
That is a beautiful fuel pump. (too bad I put it on backwards)
Sorry! I don't know why It wont start. We will work on it tomorrow.
(Yes! I know tomorrow is Thanksgiving)

FINALLY ANOTHER COUNTRY

That's right, the other country is Fresno. Jerri Sue's dad was going to have an operation on his back the day before Thanksgiving. He asked us to come and see him before the surgery so off we go. This is Bravo Farms cheese factory. We stopped here about 30 minutes before Fresno.

We saw where they make the cheese and got to sample all of the cheeses made there.
There was a great gift shop where you could spend a long time browsing.
There was a petting zoo with a lot of barnyard animals. This goat never moved from his barrel while we were there. I guess superglue really works.
We wanted to take this chicken home but it would not fit in the car.

We made our shipment

Franklin is very happy. They are used to shipping on Friday night about midnight. They will be shipping this week on Thursday at about 6:00PM.

Wow! We really do make spoilers here.
This is the front of the company after dark.
There seems to be a few of these critters all over.
There are also a lot of big grasshoppers everywhere.

Wednesday in Mexico

The hotel has a great secure playground for the kids. It has carpet, nice shade and a fence to keep the kiddies from falling into the pool. There are swings, a slide and a neat fort to climb on.
We went for a walk and checked out these shops in the marina. There was a real estate office, a wine shop that sold crab cakes and mushrooms, a diving school and a boat charter.
This is the lobby of the hotel. There is chairs, couches, 2 flat screen TV's a business room with computers and internet access and a gift shop.
It is almost nightfall here at Ducommun.
Sunset is always beautiful here. There is plenty of cactus landscaping the complex.

We all got together after work to wind down from a good day of Spoilers. Click below to watch the video.

Tuesday in Mexico

This is Franklin the factory Manager and Cristine the product scheduler.
This is my favorite food. I call it Polio con Mosca (chicken and flies). The sign says that two chickens cost about $12.50 US Dollars.
This is Rosa's Cantina. It is named after the song by Marty Robbins. The food is excelente here.


We are really starving here. Click on the video below to see how bad it is.

POOR ME

This is the marina in front of our hotel. I wish we could just take one of these boats for a spin.
The view in the morning is really beautiful.
My room is at the pool level. We are really suffering here. Watch the video below to see how rough it really is here at the Marina Terra hotel.

Back in Mexico

Here is the plane that I flew from Phoenix to Guaymas.
That looks like the Colorado river down there.
There was only 11 people on our plane. We had a lot of room. It was fun to lean to the left when the pilot wanted to turn the plane.
This bar is in San Carlos down the street from My hotel. They have great Tacos and cervesa.

All I can see is dirt and bushes. Can you see a runway below. Watch the video.

BACK FOR NOW

I'm finally back back in the US . These are the pictures of the Halloween party in Guaymas.
There were plenty of hand made decorations. See the one with my name on it.
The factory was very festive.
I'll bet this cake was real good. I had to fly to Phoenix before the party started.
Everyone had lots of goodies.
That cookie from the movie Shrek is the plant manager.
Most of the costumes were hand made.
This is the entire work force at Ducommun Aerostructures Guaymas. I will be back on Sunday.
