  1. Is the trip related to rain?? If so, check outdoor outlets and lighting for damp. It's also worth checking your light switches and outlets for wildlife ingress. There are some tiny ants that adore electric fields, they also conduct electricity! Is your main breaker one of the "adjustable" type? Check it's set to 30mA.
  2. Just add a generator!
  3. Our inverters and ancillary bits n bobs came from Lazada. If you wait for the various discount coupons you can get very competitive pricing. Panels initially came from Global, later ones came from an estate clearance. I did get a few from Lazada but with delays, disappearing panels and breakages I've not bought any more. Batteries are from China, specifically Shenzen Luyuan https://szluyuan.en.alibaba.com/ who have a universally good reputation among the DIY solar community. Sensible pricing and DDP shipping to Thailand. Beware, there is a LOT of rubbish out there! Our inverters are on the PEA approval list but we are running off-grid with an ATS to switch over to grid if the solar fails.
  4. If you burn the clippings your neighbours will be thanking you!! Whee
  5. Yup, I easily made the required income when I started my Lloyds Offshore account, now not earning quite so much but no comment from the bank 🙂
  6. The workers had a ladder on their truck. Maybe they thought The Boss would take it away if they didn't use it? Or they were Burmese and mis-calculated their conversion from metres into feet.
  7. Still nothing going on really, but I've found another river level camera. Pathumthani River Level
  8. OK, I will not apply my engineering experience to further "guesses".
  9. Since it's stopped working, just unscrew it and find out I suspect it's holding the guts inside the casting.
  10. Bonus points for Name-That-Tune!! 545b5c60-f6b4-43c2-8390-46a65d317e4f.mp4

  12. Boarder came down for his day. Old Dad; "So what brings you to our town?" Boarder; "I'm the entertainment at the tavern tonight." Old Dad; "Entertainment? What do you sing?" Boarder; "Oh, no I don't sing. I'm a comedian." Old Dad; "A comedian?" Boarder; "yes." Old Dad; "Well go on. Change colour for me." Fetching my coat!
  13. Not all trucks are created equal....
  14. A young guy has a crippling stutter. He contacts a variety of people to see if they can help: A shaman. A psychiatrist. A rabbi. A priest, and a prostitute. The shaman, the psychiatrist, the rabbi and the priest give it their all, but his stutter doesn't improve. Finally the prostitute comes in. The guy says, "what are you gonna do?" She said, "I'm gonna kneel down here and make you tingle so good." He says, "so... ... same as the priest?"
  15. I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 68 seconds  
  16. And now it's home solar systems ... https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/lebanons-official-news-agency-reports-home-solar-energy-113809042
  17. Really nothing much going on for now. Latest high-tide at Pak-Kret Meanwhile, Madam has determined that we are building a 50cm "flood wall" for our downstairs area. It's actually part of the plan to enclose the area but that bit has been accelerated "just in case". A height of 50cm will take us over the level experienced in 2011 and is well above the 2022 flood level.
  18. When you see it ... You will never, ever, be able to un-see it!!!
  19. I'm sad enough to go back and check, it was Option-1.
  20. There really is no time like the present!!
