  1. Lazada has a few choices....I bought some to make removable slip in panels for when we karaoke......

    The squares are about 1x1 ft. 

    I glued them to some of that plastic sign (all purpose) board cut to window sizes to fit between the screen & glass panels.....

  2. If we are remembering 1st cars - this (file pic) was the first car I went out & bought by/for myself....

    I rebarreled the engine & installed whatever performance parts were available....It ran strong (trans = weak - sucked), & did pretty well cruising with the AH's.....

    I narrowed it down between the TR3B & a 1954 Corvette....But, the 'Vette's turned into swimming pools in the rain, so I went with the TR.....

    As a matter of fact, this might even be my old one, noting the CA plates.....Same color....

    You talk American stuff I always wanted a Cobra.

    Can't fault that....I do have a friend that has 2 Ford GT's & an Avanti in his garage.... I'd settle for a GT....

    Have to be limber & medium built to fit the Cobra - especially the aluminum bodied ones - or oops - hand sized dent ....

  4. Well ..... None of the above - US market....But in those same years had an 1- 85 RX7 which was a very fun car to just get in & drive... 2- An 89 Dodge Shelby Daytona 3- 85 Dodge/Mits Montero/Raider SWB 4x4 that I tricked out the 2.6 & it was quick....Had these at the same time....

    Unfortunately - my wife totaled the RX7 - then she waited a few years & then totaled the Shelby....I really should have divorced her after the RX & before the Shelby....

  5. Check with your vet.....

    Most will board for 100B per night - or they might have a referral for you....

    Cats are generally more difficult to board than dogs ....

  6. I've used Fascino for the past year.....They offer this card for discounts & some are as high as 40%+.....There are several locations in CM....I use the one by Hang Dong market on 108.....

    They will order on request as needed.....

    There is a great pharmacy close to the iron bridge in a teak building....They carry about everything & the pharmacist is very knowledgeable.....It was the best I had found....

     

    However....

     

    Once I found Fascino it eliminated the need to go all the way into town from SPT.....

  7. I just get sms queries = block list....

    We have Line & it seems every other week somebody tags along but never further contact....

    Blocking is an easy remedy.....

     

    It's not crazy here like it was in the US.....I had a very long blocking list for unwanted solicitation calls.... Unfortunately, companies had unlimited numbers to fire away with....

    It's a lot simpler here.....If not waiting for a delivery & it's not a number I've grouped in a category = it goes unanswered ...

    The sms's have been on an uptick recently ....

     

  8. Covid has stopped it now....

    When I played in a sports league here I'd follow up the next day with a Thai massage 1-2 hours....

    Then the day after get a 2 or 3 hour oil massage to soothe out all the left over kinks, joint, muscle soreness.....

    It was always a good routine/remedy.... Occasionally, one more relaxing massage during the week if so inclined & nothing else to do.....

  9. I took up intermittent fasting and bought a home gym to work out on = lost 18-20 kilos.....

     

    Ride a bicycle a few klicks on a route every day while feeding, watering, curry combing & paying attention to a few nice/friendly & well behaved dogs in our Mubaan who's people seem to have moved away, leaving them behind.....It makes them (and me) happy....

     

    At 6'4"/195cm & large framed, I wasn't pot bellied before, however, it feels much better with the weight off.... I'm around 95-98 kilos now.....

    I eat about anything I want, so, it seems to be working + holding....

     

  10. Our oblong table unextended sits 6 (12+ if extended)....We have found tablecloths that fit the 6 position table, but nothing longer.....

    One option might be to double up....Another nicer possibilty is go to a material shop at your nearest large market & pick your material and have it cut then hemmed to your measurements.....

    A market like the Worowat market in CM has several shops with 100s of bolts to choose from.....

    I was gone from US for 2 yrs solid because of covid, when I returned late last year for a visit I was quite shocked to see tent cities all over. On ramps, off ramps, for fork sake. 

    Two years ago on our vacation to the US my wife spotted a tent city while rolling through Sacramento....

    She said "look at all the campers"....I didn't correct her.....

    We're looking toward an August return for 4-6 months.... I'm not sure what to expect - but, it can't have gotten better.....

    Thunderous storms are great for beer drinking, love it. Rayong province has been getting some good rain and thunder (buddha talking) 

    Thanks for the memory.....

     

    When I lived in the Sierras, storms used to roll through.....Rain, thunder/lightning, & snow storms......

    I had a small extended out front porch with 4ft walls/open upper half..... Just enough room to keep it toasty while stoking up the Weber bbq with a couple of chairs and a couple of cold ones, cooking & watching while the fury of the storms raged around me creating great theatrics and an unmatched symphony.....

     

    Loved it there - until the divorce swept it all away.....

     

     

  13. We're in San PaTong....We have an open well + a small decorative, stilled water, rock pond with a seldom used fountain right by our bedroom bay window (as does our closest Mubaan neighbor)....

    I've been telling the wife mosquito, mosquito, mosquito warnings....

    Result? We don't have hardly any - don't know why....
