Default Mexico Diesel

Hello my fellow Diesel Hoes.

Have not been posting for while due to:

1) Started working for a startup a couple ofmonths back and we are full steam ahead.
2) When I get home the 2 year old will not let me sit down for a second.
3) Have been trying to do more outside resulting losing some of my man boobies (245lbs down to 207)
4) Going after my AFM license on my Kawi ZX10r
5) My truck has been working great. Key in, Diesel goes. Key off, Diesel stops (well after the turbo timer)

So now we are all caught up on the wild life of slug.

Wife wants to visit family in Mazitlan, Mexico and wants to drive down there...eek. Does anyone know about diesel in Mexico? Is it poo poo, filled with more water than our president's head? Is it ULSD #2, #1? Is it abundant? Should I take a butt load of Fuel Filters and a boonie box?

I was starting to wonder where you'd gone to. That's a MAJOR weight loss !! How'd you do it?

I don't know JACK about Mexican diesel, but I just heard last night that more and more guy's here are starting to run the red fuel ( heating oil ) because of their truck are running like CRAP on the new ULSD. I'm talking about big rigs like dump trucks ect.

My wife "signed" me up for Nutrisystem. So far its works fairly well and I still "cheat" now and again. Figure I should be around 185lbs for 6'1" so I still have a little bit left to go.

heck I used to be a bean pole. . .first got in the military, age 17, 6'1" 136#

12 years and about 60 lbs aint too bad I hope. (seeing as Ive gained 45 of them in the past 3 years[8D])

I gained 15-20#'s right after I quit smoking. Before I used to wheeze going up and down the steps because I smoked, now I wheeze because I've put on some weight.

I swear some days I wonder if quitting was the right thing to do. At least I ENJOYED that !!

I used to eat 5k calories a day to try and gain weight. Gained almost 50lbs in a year and a half, stopped lifting weights and eating right and lost 35lbs of it. Back at it again and up about 10lbs.

I used to smoke, I really dont understand how people can do it for so long. I did it because I was young, now I enjoy not being winded all the time but to do it and know that eventually it WILL kill you is beyond me.
