    thanksgiving - time to gather

    that would give us plenty of time - maybe we can plan a roving party - stumble from rv to rv - having a drink and a bite at each, ending at Chuck's to fry turkeys? that might be an idea...

    thanksgiving - time to gather

    RCPM

    funny spelling of the Ukraine - as I'm probably the only Uke here on the board. as to the band - you may have heard about a band from Tempe that used to be called the Refreshments? that's Roger Clyne, with his current band. fun group of folks.

    off topic - solar hot water

    some type of fine filter to remove all the crap in our Tempe water has got to be a good idea.I need to research what types would be best - maybe down to a 3-5 micron size.

    off topic - solar hot water

    done quite a bit of research into this - had a couple companies come to our home - and this is what I've learned: tankless for homes that are just electric are not cost-effective. as to solar hot water - you have 2 basic tyoes - passive, and active. we want to make it as simple as possible,a nd...

    ~~~ FRESH WILD BLUE MARLIN ~~~

    HAPPY - YOU ARE MOST ENTILTLED TO YOUR OPINION. caps off. personally, I love to eat fish, but I also see no reason to keep a marlin or any other billfish unless it's not going to survive. there are plenty of other fish out there that are better tasting, and more plentiful, than the billfish...

    San JuanTrailer Park

    so sorry to hear about that - was there no advance notice? seems like they would honor any rental/lease agreements to the end of the year, but if the water is shut off, that's the end of it I guess. please keep us posted. :( :shock: :? :cry:

    ~~~ FRESH WILD BLUE MARLIN ~~~

    mayo with a blend of spices and/or sauces makes for great grilling on most fish. the mayo keeps it moist and you can spice it up as you like- good call.

    ~~~ FRESH WILD BLUE MARLIN ~~~

    here's my 2 pesos on smoking fish - we have a brinkman elec smoker - (bought it cheap at a yard sale, new in box) I like using apple wood or alder for fish smoking - hickory is pretty potent, and for me is best for beef brisket. Not sure why mesquite has such a great reputation, other than it's...

    San JuanTrailer Park

    as a relative newcomer to RP - 4 or 5 years - I have only stayed on the Mirador beach at PDO. of all the beaches I have seen around there - none seem as nice as that stretch from Mannys to the east - just beautiful. It'll be a sad day when there are no places left on the beaches for rv's and...

    MUGGED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE

    I'd agree with Chari - PDO has always felt pretty safe to us, but then again, we have never stayed anywhere other than PDO or the Mirador next door (when it was trailers and the 4 beachfront units). The security at PDO are pretty decent folks - I had gone to bed one night, and my wife was...

    off topic - solar hot water

    Jaime - thanks - I've talked to one of our local solar companies, and they're looking into maybe just powering a tankless hot water heater with solar power, and not really having solar hot water - just the power would be solar. like I said, lots of options to wade thru. thanks for all your input...

    off topic - solar hot water

    thanks - the return loop would be some trouble, with our home being slab on grade - the waterlines are in the slab, so we probably won't go that route. the heat pump is an alternative we have looked at but the system still uses a conventional hot water tank for storage, and that's one part we...

    off topic - solar hot water

    this is not exactly rocky point talk - but I was hoping maybe someone could give me some tips - do's and don'ts. we're shopping for solar hot water for our home - we are in an all-electric home. anyone have experience with solar hot water systems? I'm seeing a lot of types - passive and active -...

    Best place to get Mexican car insurance

    Kenny - when might the next corvina hunt be? looks like late October is the earliest we can get down south, and not even sure about that yet. Thanksgiving is booked, but I can't wait that long to get back to the beaches.....
