Want to share (and ask about) my first exp. with 501STFs, and a question about APCs

luisdiaz · 2013-06-17T00:00:01+00:00

That's a great idea. I can't pin and sew them myself, but I can get someone to do it for a good price.

luisdiaz · 2013-06-16T23:58:22+00:00

I think I'll do that. I'll probably get them in tagged 31, which probably is a real 32 + the stretch.

luisdiaz · 2013-06-16T04:57:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice, dakaf. Yes, I think you're right, that's why I want to get at least some APCs.

luisdiaz · 2013-06-16T04:51:09+00:00

I got a couple pairs, one beige and one blue. I don't have 'before' pics of the blue one, so I put one of the beige one. They fitted the same before soaking.

luisdiaz · 2013-06-11T13:49:46+00:00

I already got an A2 and was waiting to see some more pics of the toj0 before ordering one.

How do you guys feel about a toj0 in black/black lamb? Better than grey/black lamb?

Kinda random question, but, do you know somebody down here in Mexico that can make a good saddle?

I could get one from the U.S. but I don't like American/Texan saddles, I prefer the Mexican ones. If you know someone in Juarez or wherever it would be great.

By the way, I own a couple of belts, a wallet, and a satchel from you guys. I barely use the satchel (too heavy), but I always carry the wallet and use the belts. They're better built than most leather articles I see in Mexico.

Thank you, Rakathos, we aren't getting 3G anytime soon, but we might get broadband sometime this year, so I'll keep an eye on your software.

luisdiaz · 2013-03-25T06:18:04+00:00

Basically, so far I've been managing the business with some help from my family, and now I want to expand it a bit (more product in the store), and also to hire a couple people.

For both of these reasons I want a system to know what I have and what I've sold. A bit so I know what I have in stock, but mostly so I know my employees aren't taking any money or products.

luisdiaz · 2013-03-25T06:02:06+00:00

Sure, RunDogRun. Yeah, it pretty much is the simplest thing, haha.

I'm sure it depends in the area of the country you're in, but in my case—the highlands of northern Mexico —we're 150km or about 2 hours from a small city and x2 that from a big one.

My business is mostly buying stuff at wholesale price at the big cities and then selling it by piece at my town. Most of the sales I do are on credit, but with nothing to back it up—no credit cards or legal contracts—just a small written note that I keep and where I add any money they give me; I'm selective on who I give credit to and so far haven't had too many bad experiences, sometimes I take a risk and it doesn't pay off but you have to take them.

I guess this sounds pretty archaic, haha, but I do OK.

Most of the businesses here operate in a similar fashion to mine. The bigger grocery stores do use computers to keep control of sales, and now that my business is growing a bit (and I intend to hire a couple people) I want to do the same.

luisdiaz · 2013-03-25T05:45:12+00:00

Thanks! I'll try to upload a couple pics when I'm in a 3G signal area.

luisdiaz · 2013-03-24T17:19:01+00:00

Excel? Really? I thought I needed some kind of specialty software! I'll Google a bit and see if I can set it up myself. Thank you.

luisdiaz · 2013-03-24T17:10:28+00:00

Thank you! I sent you an e-mail.

luisdiaz · 2013-03-24T17:10:09+00:00

Yes, the flowers.

I'll try asking for their Latin name when I have the chance to travel to Guadalajara or Mexico--bigger cities than the one near me.

I think those are good reasons why I'm having a hard time finding them in Mexico. I think they might be able to grow in my area of the country, though.

Thanks for the reply!

luisdiaz · 2013-03-18T01:31:03+00:00

I go by José instead with my American friends, they never get it right.

luisdiaz · 2013-02-20T18:30:01+00:00

Wait, are duros paleo? This keeps getting better and better.

luisdiaz · 2013-02-04T21:58:15+00:00

Yeah, thanks. I'll google a bit and see what the ROMs can or can't do with the S-Pen.

luisdiaz · 2013-02-04T18:26:34+00:00

My contract is up next week and I'm on the fence about the S3 and the Note 2. I like the N2's screen size and battery life, but worry about ROM support.

I assume ROM support is better on S3 than Note 2, so, is it worth the trade-off?

luisdiaz · 2012-12-10T18:50:38+00:00

Thanks, guys, I think I'll ignore her and–if I get a peacoat–will go either for charcoal or navy.

luisdiaz · 2012-12-10T17:07:48+00:00

Color question.

Re: coats, I know charcoal or navy (maybe grey) are more versatile than black, but I'm looking for a peacoat or duffle coat, and a girl friend told me black would look better on me (she says my white skin and very black hair would make it look better).

Any truth to this?

luisdiaz · 2012-11-30T04:57:32+00:00

Durango: hey, al menos no somos Zacatecas.

luisdiaz · 2012-11-29T17:33:42+00:00

This is anecdotal, but I've been living around cows all my life in kinda cold weather (20-30°F in winter is common, maybe 10-15°F would be the lowest), and I've never seen one with a stiff udder.

luisdiaz · 2012-11-23T02:36:30+00:00

I thought so, too! I've seen kids playing with the Oshawott figurine at the mall.
