Hi Walter, It's good to hear from you. Hope y'all are happy in Iowa. That's a long way to go for your brats, but I know it would be worth it. Kea (& Jeff) from Las Conchas & Austin, TX.

The "credits" are just the kW-hours themselves. For example, if in the first billing cycle, the solar generated 200 kW-h more than we used, those 200 kW-hours get "banked." Then, say, the next cycle we use 300 kW-h more than we generated. Instead of having a bill for 300 kW-h, they apply the...

We added solar last year. We get credit when we generate more power than we use. Those credits get applied on bills when we use more than we generate. We have not sold any power back to the grid, though. Not sure I'm answering your question.

My various weather apps were predicting at least 1.5" of rain. Later today they increased the projections to over 5". I think we could be in for some major flooding. Any guesses how long the Las Conchas (and other non-paved roads) will be impassable?

We bought a propane Eccotemp online about 5-6 years ago. It's working fine so far. It was installed by the contractor we were using at the time. (We haven't seen him in a few years. Not sure if he's still in town.)

Yes, it does work. I've been meaning to try this for years & finally did. Last Thursday I ordered something small from Amazon and it arrived by DHL today. They even delivered to my door in Las Conchas. Amazon sent a tracking number (just like always) and the package was sent to Hermosillo...

I used the ATM at CI Banco (on Calle 13) on Tuesday. They used an exchange rate of $18.47 pesos to the USD. Their ATM fee is $17.40 pesos. There was no message on the screen as to their exchange rate. I calculated it based on what was withdrawn from my US credit union.

Appears to be changing to an Oxxo. Saw the sign in a crate out front.

Thanks Jungle Jim. I can't see much of their website without creating an account. Do they issue policies that will cover the RV in US & Mex (looks like Mex only, but not sure)? But, depending on price, I guess that I could get 2 separate policies.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good RV insurance company that will also provide comprehensive coverage in Mexico? (Liability goes with the tow vehicle.) We have a fifth wheel that we have insured through National General for years. The things I like about them are that it is actually...

Hi Beachy. I appreciate your response in a new thread. I debated about starting a new thread myself, but didn't. I'm not GF, but I have a good friend who is. She came to visit us last year & probably (hopefully) will again this year. No, she doesn't have Cilieac's, but, like you, feels much...

Any recommendations for finding gluten free foods? Ingredients for home cooking and / or restaurant choices appreciated. I know Pane e Vino has GF pasta. But can you get a loaf of bread, flour (say, coconut), pizza crust, etc. in Peñasco?

Excellent work. Highly recommend!

I've noticed that sign from time to time. Perhaps they are just closed on Wednesdays?

When I saw your topic, I thought you were going to talk about the international program they introduced a few months ago. Free text, free unlimited data at 2G speed and lowered talk prices to 20¢ / minute. I'm amazed that they made another improvement so soon. I guess they were getting too...

No problem.

If you are that close to the cut off points, have considered ways to reduce your 2014 income? You can still contribute to an IRA (or HSA depending on your insurance).

Sounds yummy! Let me know when you get set up & I'll be there!

The pictures of the devastation remind me of what I saw in Southern (i.e. Gulf Coast region) of Mississippi when I went there a year after Katrina. I hope Cabo recovers more quickly than MS / LA.
