Ok, me,  the corruptor... am going south on the 25 of december... Florida and

Benny Boy, Gerry Edge & Rita & I are still  planning on leaving here January
1st. for BBTB then on down to Baja.  I'll  be stuck on Baja all alone for the
month of February while Rita flys back to  work a couple weeks.  When she gets
back the end of February we'll head off  to Puerto Escondido to meet up with
our friends who I hope get there by  then.  I just heard he threw a rod on his
Subie powered Westy in Pharr  Texas.  Last I heard he was waiting on another
motor to be delivered from  Dallas.  So much for the Subie solving the
wasserboxer rod throwing  problem.  Andre & Line have already been sitting on the
beach around  Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventures.  He's already had to change
a timing  belt and ECU in his Subie powered Westy.  Then he lost the keys and
there  are no key blanks in Mexico for Vanagons.  Line brought a load of parts
 when she flew down there to meet him a week ago.  Now his fridge quit and
he bought a Styrofoam cooler from the new Wallmart to keep the beer cold then
sat on it and well, that was the end of that cooler.  I think we need to  get
there and help them drink the beer.  Will you go to Baja after BBTB  ?  Maybe
we get Larry to go along too.
