I'd take more credit if I had ANYTHING else to do. :whistle: It is still not safe for me to ride a motorcycle, or pleasant to lose 11-0 in ping pong.
But I will keep at it. And I have taken on the administrative management of the fraccionamiento. Paying the workers and the bills, collecting the HOA fees... Spiffing up the record-keeping. Sort of like killing an ant with a hammer, but something to do... :violin: With Lupita, Javier and Adrian doing the casa and yard work (work I don't care to do), I have to find ways to stay active. Yawn.

I HAD to overdo it, as usual. I jacked up the weight all round and added 1 exercise -- the military press. :doh: My mistake. I guess I forgot about my hernia and the detached ligaments formerly attached to my left scapula. I had to drop way back on exercise -- and blew my left shoulder/arm away (temporarily). End result, I'm meeting a doctor here to discuss the feasibility of repairing the hernia between our trip up to SoCal for the 2 weddings in April, and the trip to SoCal planned in June.
Self-inflicted damage as usual. :whistle: no big deal.

Ouch! Hope you heal up soon, James. I finally started working out again after many years away. I've been easing my way in. Weight lifting and cardio Mon-Fri. Going well, so far.

Well, at least you tried to step it up. Now you've got more therapy to do.

James, if you can get 2X for the property in Mexico, take it and get out. It's not going to get better w/o a full blown revolution. Texas has good concealed carry laws. Austin is a little *progressive* politically, but there are other places nearby that approximate Free America. Seriously, get out.

We still are having fun here. When we see a 2X is really possible, then we have a decision to make. As the song goes "I've grown accustomed to her face..." I like building things without 'plan approval', or oversight. The wild West attributes have grown on me. Terri is getting her Permanente right now. :dance:

I saw something somewhere that said little or no permits in Texas, especially outside of town.

I think the truth is, I love our house and the property, friends are good, the town is fun, weather is great. The plusses outnumber the minuses. Maybe we move some day, but not yet... :whistle:
