What's up big man? I hope you're having a nice time there in Yaletown... "take care and" greetings old bastard/whizz.
Remarks about the translation
"old bastard" is a word used with people you are very confident. If not, you can use "whizz", for example.

"old bastard" es una palabra que se utiliza con personas con quien se tiene mucha confianza. De lo contrario, se puede utilizar "whizz", por ejemplo.

How about, "dude" for "cabrón"? The other two suggestions sound too British to me - and Yaletown is right here in Vancouver, Canada.

I agree "bastard" is too UK. Instead of "dude" maybe "dog" or even "old goat" (cabron=goat).

I thought of "old goat" too, but I've noticed the young Mexicans around here all call each other "cabrón", whereas "old goat" implies that this is an older guy.

"Old goat" stresses "old" only when it is meant as an insult; between friends it suggests "horny old goat" with stress on horny (as in looking for se.

I don't think a young man would ever call another young man a "horny old goat" - certainly not around here. "dog" would be OK, though - or maybe "you dog".
