JAS21

Actually have just renewed the insurance today…due in two weeks. It has my wife as the main driver and any driver over thirty. They have stated value as 715,000, down from 740,000 last year. It’s a 2015 3.2L Ford Everest Titanium +. If I get that when I sell it in a while I’ll be quite pleased, it has only done 58,000 kms and full MDSH.

Yes … but this was two or three years ago now. They said as you are a named driver we will not insure you any more …following phone discussion they suggested the way we went. Premium has been the same for a while now …approx 10,000 thb for a 3.2Ltr Ford Everest Titanium +. No claim in 9 years.

I still have Roojai insurance in my name. It was named drivers but they changed it to my wife and any other driver over 21. That was after they sent me a letter saying basically due to your age we can’t insure you anymore.

Yeah right …

Who wants to live to 80 … the guy who is 79 … I’m in that bracket. and life is great EXCEPT MrsJ is a better golfer than me ………that’s all I have to worry about ….just drop out of the world and stop concerning yourself about anything …

A Christmas Gift for the BIB …

Hideaway Bang Chan without a doubt. Well stocked Bar, good food, lovely big swimming pool and for you greens he has 40kWs of solar and free charging of EVs for guests.

Seems you have ordered a replacement number plate from your old province rather than re-register your vehicle in Chonburi or where ever when you would have got new plats straightaway. Well that is what I think happened. Please advise if that is not the case …

You can go to your LTO and re-register your vehicle and they will issue you new number plates for their province … BUT ..they will want the old plates so before going to your local LTO report the loss to your local police station who will give you some sort of letter saying number plate lost …LTO will require to see this document.

That delay is absolutely disgraceful … don’t use them again … that will teach them ….

Friend, who Co owns a garage, told me a while back that there is fake Mobil1 about. They buy direct from the Mobil rep.

That place looks amazing for food, very English type meals and expanding to sell a variety of meats for either collection or delivery. BUT I see that it is up for sale again. Bikers Breakfast … I couldn’t get through that …huge … and proper sausages which are quite a rarity in many resorts. Next time we are up that way againwill give it a good look at …thanks

Yes … I remember paying that when those rooms were first built, maybe 2010-2012 can’t remember exactly when. Those rooms now cost just a little more …. The place has now more than doubled in size since then. Has a new huge swimming pool. It is also exceptionally popular. The owners Hong and Charlee have done a great job. This time of the year sitting at the side of the Kwai Yai, whether at breakfast or in the evening is very pleasant. Loads of pics on booking.com if anyone cares to look. Over the years we have stayed in several Kanchanaburi hotels …eg, Felix, The Glory, Princess River Kwai, River Kwai View, even Dheva Mantra. But we have settled on GTR as location is great, food is very good, staff are excellent and all speak English. OK YMMV …lol

From 21st until 2nd Jan we will be at Good Times Resort in Kanchanaburi … great place to stay. And of course play some golf in the area. And obviously laze around the pool and break the diet well and truly.

I did a couple of 30 minutes walks today …At a reasonably fast pace for me … this morning it initially dropped to below normal but this afternoon just the opposite. I take a very small amount of beta blocker and a very small amount of titrace each morning. The beta blocker since I had Covid in January and the ACE inhibitor since 1993 after MI and double bypass …yeah I have a bad history but have made it to 79 years old, hope for a little more ………

Hell no …IMM send me an e- mail 14 days in advance reminding me to do my 90 day report. On line takes 5-10 minutes…..

My wife would love to have her nose altered a little but she says after the op it hurts … only reason for wanting it doing is that eye glasses just don’t fit properly or feel comfortable. Other problem that she has found is that she can’t seem to find any swimming goggles that will completely seal. Nose jobs and chin jobs you can usually spot from quite a distance … and the eyebrow jobs … yuk

We have been here since 2007. When I look at our sheets they look fine. Of course neither of us piss the bed …. Well not yet. But maybe MrsJ has replaced our sheets several times…I wouldn’t know. Sex is usually over the kitchen table anyway so maybe that helps. By the way…HELL . is that your bed. You actually sleep there ….

Wow …this is big… you seem to get out of bed the wrong side most days …

Definitely didn’t play the North. Don’t have the card now …binned it in disgust lol

Well, I can’t argue with an AI cut and paste expert. If I wasn’t clear, I’m sorry but blood pressure drops fairly rapidly after exercise but it doesn’t drop down to normal straight away. It takes quite a while for it to completely return to normal. Basically same as the pulse rate.

After that sort of distance, even if you have really pushed it …little over three hours…then your systolic pressure should drop quite rapidly to not much above resting, or in fact it could be lower. Your pulse should do the same, a rapid drop to a little over normal. Whatever is commented …your enemies are …high normal blood pressure, salt and sugar. And of course ultra processed and junk food. This is from someone who had a heart attach and double bypass at 48 years old. I’m now 79 and did quite well on a couple of pills until nearly five years ago when after leaving hospital after an operation I had a problem …result my VO2 Max halved …ps I forgot stress is also your enemy …

Authority had approved the installation. Really… we moved into our new house in 2005. I ask the guy in charge of the site for the test. Results of the electrical insulation …no have…. Where I looked around there was no MEN link, I also noticed that missing in a few other houses. Also, every wire that terminated at the junction box had been run short and had to have an extra 12 to 15 inches added. And on two sockets L and N were reversed…. I wonder if a small brown envelope changed hands …

Does it really matter if it takes one, two or three days. I’ve used them for years, find it simple and the total cost quite competitive.

No…played Phutalawan …ground was a bit firm, to be expected I guess as no rain for a while. Was 1500baht all in for Thai and Thai Resident.
