[quote=”DavidCMurray”]I just took a quick look at their website (www.efoy.com) but nothing there explains just what these things do and how they function. I get it that they deliver electricity, but how? They must consume something, right?
Just what that something is might answer your question about whether they’re being used in Costa Rica and, if not, why not.[/quote]
They’re generators which run on methanol. Great, I guess, if you own a still…
So if my pea-sized brain understands correctly, besides fretting about them finding all my offshore accounts 😆 about all I’d care about is that rent [i]might[/i] go up around 15% due to the landlords being taxed?
I have much more serious worries with the governor of IL right here in the US who is now threatening to slash the retirement benefits I have worked 31+ years to earn, and have 2 years left before I get to see. He already cut retirement & health benefits for new hires (ok, at least they have a choice weather to sign on or not, I’d advise against it…) Now he wants to cut health & retirement for us who have worked & believed in IL government all these years! They have been “borrowing” from our retirement account for years and not repaying it. Where I come from, if you borrow something and don’t pay it back, YOU STOLE IT!
I understand that we in the US have it better than most, but I’d rather live in an atmosphere of hope and optimism about the future than feeling the walls closing in from all sides the longer I live.
Let ’em raise the rent, I’m still packing!
Maravilla, I happen to think it’s a great house. If it were 3 years into the future, I’d have to look at it!
Oh how I wish there were informational forums 30 years ago when in my ignorance, I bought out a nursery’s entire stock of rubber trees.
I was gonna put Trojan out of business…
[quote=”hasselwander”]I placed this inquiry as a serious request for information, but with the exception of a semi serious response from Scott, all I got was adolescent bathroom humor. I got a better response from Wikipedia. But I have not found an answer to either question from eiher Wikipedia or this source. Does anyone know where any are for sale, and if it is legal to own them. Scott reiterates my concern that they may be protected archaeological artifacts. Does anyone know, or know where I can find out?[/quote]
If it were me, and I was that concerned about it, I’d put it back.

But for goodness sake, don’t try and put one of these in the trunk of your car! [/quote]
. . . or in your carryon![/quote]if you do claim it as carrion[/quote]
I shut my [i]finger[/i] in a car trunk once, I can’t [b][i]imagine[/i][/b] shutting my… oh wait, you guys are still talking about the other ones…
I have it from a trusted source that GEICO is behind it. They plant the geckos in and around homes where they know you don’t have their insurance. It’s called subliminal advertising. Try it… switch to GEICO insurance and they’ll move on.
[quote=”sue mako”] Does San Jose mean [u][b]Punteranus? [/b][/u]
My friend got really mad at his wife one time, and that’s what he did…
[quote=”Plastina”]I skipped over this post a number of times, not bothering to read it, because I thought it was a question about [u]plumbing[/u]!! I’m still laughing as I type this. 😆
PS: I love listening to pipes! Bagpipes, that is. :wink:[/quote]
I thought it might have been referring to the Blue Man group!
[quote=”wspeed1195″][quote=”RaggedJack”]That’s why I’m bringing all my tools.[/quote]the funny thing Jack,your gonna need some special device,and when you locate it,it’s gonna be a tico contraption,,,that works.gotta love the ingenuity.[/quote]
Ingenuity is how the first tool was invented, the first dwelling was built, and where the 327 Chevy came from. I think I’ll get along with the Ticos… 😀
[quote=”lavemder”]Please help us prepare for a long-term trip to CR.
What navigation system works the best? Is it better to buy one in CR? What brand, where to buy it?
Garmin or Tom tom? How many rental cars have navigation system in it?
Thanks in advance…[/quote]Garmin has maps for Costa Rica, but Tom Tom does not. I emailed Tom Tom, as I already own one, and they replied that they have no current plans to offer Costa Rica mapping.
