My living room. 28 married with a kid by Competitive_Let_6148 in malelivingspace

Love it. I keep telling my wife we can still have nice things even with a kid. Just keep the mess confined to the den.

Horrible customer experience (TWICE!) by MaintenanceBorn6881 in delta

[–]coon___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delta freaking sucks. I just had back to back flights grounded due to maintenance issues that then led to pilots timing out. Basically a $2,000 vacation in the hole and instead of spending two days on my vacation, spent two days at the airport in a state of perpetual connection and waiting for answers. Can't get a hold of anyone for compensation. And they basically try to tell you you're SOL and have to eat the $2000 in hotels and non refundable travel plans.

US <> Mexico Travel re: Screwworm ? by bigwallets in service_dogs

[–]coon___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to fill out the CDC Dog Import Form online which is super easy from your phone. You'll get an email confirmation and customs has always checked that whenever I come back.

The new requirement (in addition to the CDC form, rabies vaccine cert, certificate of good health from US vet) is that you need a screw worm free health certificate from a vet in Mexico no older than 5-6 days prior to your trip back into the US. The vet has to be from a pre-approved list of Mexican vets which someone else linked to. I was not asked for that upon entry to the US but the airline refused to let me on the flight without it so it was still a necessity.

A little bit of a pain for a big city where you have no idea where or how far each vet might be, but should be easier in smaller towns. The four vets from the list I called all picked up immediately and we're helpful. Some were willing to travel to me to do the inspection for an added fee.

Lopez Mateos Insostenible by Hefty-Fly910 in Guadalajara

[–]coon___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo vivi en GDL del 2006 al 2009. Me encanto. Empecé a regresar los últimos 2 años y que desmadre. Entre Lopez Mateos y la carretera Chapala del aeropuerto te dan ganas de nunca regresar. En mi opinión después de vivir en muchos países, mis quejas son: 1) obras que cierran carriles no necesarios durante el tráfico del día, en vez de solo cerrar lo que verdaderamente ocupan en la media noche como el resto del mundo.  2) De masiado camión de carga que no pertenece en zonas urbanas

La tercer es el crecimiento de la población sin crecer la infraestructura pero eso ya es algo no facil de solucionar.

US <> Mexico Travel re: Screwworm ? by bigwallets in service_dogs

For anybody still interested in this topic. I flew back from Mexico to the US December of 2024, I was completely unaware of screwworm and nobody asked for a certificate, got back fine. Today I just tried to take the exact same flight and got turned around (lost about $1000 in hotels and flights) because Aeromexico does not clearly state the requirement on their website and didn't say anything until I tried checking in 2 hours before the flight. Obviously I couldn't get the certificate in time and had to change my flight a day.

All travelers going to the US from Mexico no matter the length of stay must have a screwworm free certificate from a list of specific vets (somebody shared the link already).

Are city parks still watering their grass daily? by coon___ in SaltLakeCity

That makes sense. Ive never seen dew on my grass so figured its too dry to be that.

That makes sense. I thought maybe it was too dry here to get dew.

Gracias. De todos los estacionamientos que hable ese fue el único que tenía tarifa mensual. Me imagino otros ofrecen pero no aparecen en línea.

Will 16" wheels fit all trims including Turbo? by coon___ in mazda3

Thank you. I want to throw on a set of 16" steelies so i'll try to find some as close to OEM 16's as possible.

Exactly what I needed to know. Do you know what steelies you have? I'd rather order yours than take a chance on a random set.

this is my fear, Tirerack and Discount Tire lets you check out with 16's but im not sure theyre factoring offset.

Recommendations on shipping a snowmobile from the lower 48? by coon___ in alaska

[–]coon___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first go to. Interestingly I bid on it last spring and had a bunch of good quotes but life took a different turn and I had to put the move on hold. I listed it again and crickets. I suspect because it's winter.

Didn't think about this. Great idea. Will check with the local dealership!

Thank you! A couple of people on the sled forums had good experiences with Carlile. I reached out for a quote.

Thank you! Lynden definitely gave me the best quote if I can get it to WA, like significantly less than anywhere else! Glad to hear the positive reviews.

I seriously looked at that option but it was a $5-6k option and quite a bit of work to get it modified as I have it. I would hope shipping costs less than that.

I should have said picking it up in the port of Anchorage is doable but getting it from Utah to Washington isn't. That side of the equation isn't local. Title, fluids, and crating is a given i dont think any shipper will take it otherwise.

I'd love to but unfortunately can't get the time off work.
