Wow. Ok, private message me your travel dates/times. My company and my office are directly behind Adobe, a 15-second walk. Your itinerary is excellent, you'll have a great time. When you wrap up in the mountains and head to Hermosa, I'll give you my number and we can meet for a Chiliguaro at...
July usually isn't too bad a month here, it's when CR gets a break from the rain for a few weeks. It's our Indian Summer (We're such racists here). Renting a car is the same as any other place, use the recognized agencies and you'll be fine. We have Adobe Rentacar right in front of my...
I would definitely buy several of these if I weren't in CR. Namely the 13 spindle, horizontal borer, dust collector, clamping table. I plan on coming up to the US in the next year to do another machinery buy & ship, these will probably be gone by then though.
Let me elaborate on my previous comments. We moved here last summer, had some down time while we waited for my stuff to go through the shipping process. I loved those weeks, everyday was like a vacation. Once it hit the ground, we went into "gas pedal to the floor" mode in getting our...
Had to learn some things here, like I've always known Costa Ricans to be laid back, but the truth is they're just lazy and do everything half ass. Getting anyone to do something and do it right is a total pipedream. Drivers are exceptionally stupid, passing around a curve and over a hill with...
Here I am guys. Still in CR, opened a business and killing it. We moved to Pablo Escobar's old house up away from the beach (we joke that it was his house because it just fits the bill), but soon we will be moving back to the beach area again. I haven't been back in the US but may plan a trip...
I want all of them! (jk) We have a brindle boxer, "Sarge". Absolutely the BEST pup I've ever had, most playful, smartest, loyal, fun, etc. We're wanting to get another, but down here they're not as common as in the US. You shouldn't have any trouble finding homes for these!
...(they were the best!) and my last fight...me against 3, and I picked the "leader" up over my head and threw him into a busy Peachtree Street, back when Buckhead was a bar scene. Scared the sh*t out of the two others, and honestly, scared me too. That was 1996, haven't thrown the hammers since.
When I got the bill for a week in the hospital last year, when I had covid, I told them to send the bill to Doc Fraudci. And I pointed with my middle finger.
Beautiful machine you've got there! Many moons ago, I had a '40 Chevy that packed that same motor under it's hood....out of a 66 GTO too. Those carbs were a pain to get tuned right, but when she ran, she purred. And when I punched the gas, she freaking took off! God I miss my old ride.
Yes you can, with the proper residency status. Currently, they let you own up to 3. No hunting rifles or any AR/AK platforms though. There is no hunting here in CR, they are nature/animal lovers big-time.
Are you here in CR, or in the US? I've been coming here for 20+ years and live here in CR full time now. I'm telling you first hand, not some internet statistic. I track every penny that comes in and out of my household on a spreadsheet, been doing so for 15 years. I can look back and tell...
You guys realize that all this inflation is largely centered in the US, the inflation elsewhere is moderate, even normal. Here in Costa Rica, I can still get a get a gourmet cheeseburger with fries and a drink for $7-10US. Our groceries here are half what they were in the US.
I'm so glad I'm...
Got this little guy about a month ago down here in Costa Rica. Awesome work and cost only $300. Me thinks at those prices, I have some more real estate to fill in....
I second the comment of going to the hospital, or at least a doctor (even though I very much abhor doctors in the US). I wrecked my van 3 years ago, and refused care at the scene only to discover later that I had a broken kneecap. Because I waited and returned to work right away, I jacked...
Let's put it this way: We live about 400 meters from the beach, one of the nicest beach towns in Guanacaste. Next month, we're going to move further inland, because the tourists are noisy and inconsiderate, and we're approaching high season and it's only going to get worse. We found a house...
