I'll tell you in 4 years....However in our last US trip, weather & miss timed connecting flights cost us 3 extra days scurrying 2 different airports with the typical long distance brisk walking, lugging backpacks & other bags trying to make connections that eventually turned out not connecting due to a ticket printing error didn't tax me....At 76 & counting.....It should have been 2 days, ended up at 5.5 days.....

We've gone to Seoul for 2-4 days gambits..... It's got a different pulse to it with a lot of things to see....The night markets & walking streets are clean with many things to see.... The transport systems are easy to use.....

Reality...Without even touching on the dangers....

Check Lanna Sarasas school....About 17-19k per term....Our 2 daughters went there & it seems to be the popular choice for families in our MuBaan even though it's a drive from where we live ....

T-shirts are for around the house.... Polo shirts are for outside wear....At least that's my approach.....As soon as a t-shirt starts to fray at the collar or get stained they are repurposed .... I have some of my old team/playing jerseys that are 10+ years old or more and essentially close to new ....

It's just below the last post - right side.... I haven't seen any change....

Star Visa just down the street from the US Consulate.... There's a parking garage across the street .... Star also has a 2nd office behind the Big C out on the great highway.... There's a photo shop near Rim Ping rear exit at the Mae Hia market with adjoining parking....

Artichokes, although not a fruit.... Good navel oranges.... There's still an abundance of fruit here.... We're starting to get some nice, sweet Mangos off our trees....Which I never seem to tire of + my wife makes mango jam which helps lengthen the season....

I've seen Chicago twice....The first time seemed like a powerful performance.....The second time they had the Beach Boys opening for them....The BB were so over amplified that kids were crying & people were moving back away from some speaker positions holding their hands over their ears.... Chicago then came on & almost sounded muted....

I'm definitely more country oriented....I was raised in a small community about 15 miles away from a large city & have kept the same pattern ever since.... Usually within a half hour/hour drive to a city.... Close enough for convenience & far enough away to be away from it. ..I generally don't like cities....

I don't care how they claim their life.... Hopefully, they respond in kind.... Unfortunately, that 2-4% isn't quietly satisfied with that....

I don't see enough clearance to make useful.... I'm not a big proponent of plastic for heavy duty or hazardous applications....

My wife put one out under her car....Only problem came when it was not far enough away from our daytime tethered cat.... The trap caught the rat & the cat....What a huge sound explosion as our cat got half of himself glued to the trap in a confined space under the car & then bolted into his kitty condo.... What a frickin mess trying to free, clean, & calm down a very frightened & not too happy good sized cat....

My wife makes sure I turn the engine off if parked up with a shop or vendor nearby..... It's common courtesy..... You could be choking many people inside shop areas.....Chances are they are running fans trying to move the hot air around which is now being injected with diesel fumes..... You blow out their clientele, possibly taint their product offerings - all in the name of YOUR comfort.... Completely thoughtless & rude - by any standards.... And we wonder where their "smiles" went where Farangs are concerned.....

I had a Masseuse I used for awhile....She had her own shop but also hopped over to another shop if they needed an extra person.....I went to her shop = nobody there but a phone number was posted, so I called.... She said she'd be right there & hung up with the words "I love you too".....I doubt that she knew more than 20 words of English - but the use of the phrase startled me.... She showed up, I laid down on the massage table face down & she started an oil massage from my feet up....She worked her way up my legs until I got a strangely uncomfortable wet sensation At the end of the session she kept hugging me and said "I live for you" and as I was walking out I had extricate myself as she was clinginly hugging me from behind until I got to the door & my shoes.... I never saw a reason to go back....

What makes getting in & out of your car difficult? I've blown up both ankles in 2 different sports requiring over 4 hours of emergency surgery....I was told no more sports & I would always have limp....The first thing I did once I got the thigh high cast off was attempting to THEN running up the hill trails by my neighborhood....Result - played sports another 40 years & no limp....I was told at 22 I had an arthritic spine & curtail all activities....I looked at my Mom in her 50's that did what the Dr's said & she was hobbled by a basically frozen spine = I kept on with my sports.... I've probably outlived all those Dr's & at 6'4" can still touch the floor with the flat of my palms....I walk my dog 4x a day + ride my bicycle most days....76 years old... Man, if you don't have any serious condition get out there, foster, increase & expand your activities.... Get out there and slay your dragons, small ones first & gain the confidence to overcome your doubts...

Just wear your loose fitting pj's with the little rubber duckies all over it.....

It can be done but you have to go to (find) an independent broker..... I tried to restart my AAA coverage = they couldn't but sent me to a local broker....It ended up about $800 to cover my 4Runner....We logged over 5k miles as we RV'd about... I did get an IDP = nobody paid any attention to it, however, it's my understanding that certain states absolutely require it while others do not.... I got it just for backup & will for the next trip too.... I did take a paper copy of my TH auto insurance, so they couldn't claim I was driving uninsured. It wasn't used - but I'll continue to do this as an ounce of prevention....

"Smart Phones" = dumber, programed people.... Starting at preschool levels.... Loss of interpersonal skills, social skills, ingenuity, problem solving, attention spans, actual research abilities, compassion, reality, job skills, responsibilities...... Not good....

Thaiwatsadu has a large selection of ladders....We bought a ladder there due to better quality available for what we needed.....

Thai fever....

1958 Chrys 300D convert (hemi) 1953 Studebaker pick up I hemi'd - weighed in @ 2256 pounds of which 750 was engine - Fast 1964 Chev Malibu SS convert 300hp/327ci 1974 Monte Carlo SS - honorable mention.... After that I switched over to a different trap, 4x4's - horses (and all the crap that comes along with that) - snowmobiles - an Airstream - boat.... Life was simpler without all that stuff....

If you've spent time there it's an easy pass....
