Building a new house in Isaan
I hate being a pessimist but it took us seven years to get put on residential rate. Mind you there were plenty of ready reasons for PEA to hide behind. The main one seemed to be that there was neither road nor posts for the PEA to run their cables from the last post in the village to our house. A distance of 1km. We also had to have at least 5 other houses needing supply along the 1km route. Not a problem for me because I had 8kw of off grid raw solar power which only required two sets of batteries in that time and, because of the temporary supply rate, payback was within the first 5 years. When PEA eventually ran our supply on their posts along the new government road to our house. I recovered all the old cables (2km Al 25mm²) and got a good price for some scrap and some resale to some of the villagers. It was a bit of a pain getting some of the cables out of the trees though. Trees do have a habit of inconveniently growing around them.

Baseball-Sized Hail Smashing into Panels At 150 MPH Destroys Scottsbluff Solar Farm
A hail stone traveling at 150 mph couldn't give a toss about going through from the front or from the back. Best defence is to use my new, almost patented force field which can form a shield over each panel or the larger size which can be used to protect up to ten panels.

What type of batteries were they? Lithium? Lead acid? Primary cells?

Is CAC scan the right test for monitoring calcium supplement associated cardiovascular disease?
That's all good stuff but don't forget your thyroid and kidneys need to be working properly. Exercise and good diet go a long way to keeping the internals bits in good condition but sometimes things like kidneys need a bit of medication. Regular, annual blood tests will reveal many small problems that are correctable by life style and/or dietry changes.

Recommendation's for eye wear and testing.
No bodies mentioned Top Charoen yet. Why not? I have a pair of excellent bifocals with titanium frames and scratch resistant lenses from them. I didn't go for the transitions (sunglasses effect) because I had it before and didn't like it so much. They measured my eyes and selected the right lenses which are different in each eye and the result is very satisfactory. 6,000 Baht well spent.

Where to buy a decent handtool set
I bought a jet wash from them. It must have lasted about two washes. I would never buy anything from them unless for single use.

UK pension delay?
That doesn't look like the international pensions department email address so there may be some runaround to be anticipated. You sould go to the international DWP website. I pasted it earlier probably on the first three pages somewhere. Yep, page three.

In that case the whole Thailand must be "out in the sticks".

If a fan doesn't have a capacitor it will shudder back and forth but can start with a manual hand spin
The action involves a sharp shove on the fan blades in the right direction to get it started. A politician would likely try to form a committee to address the legalities of such action before trying to start the fan in the wrong direction.

Land ownership
How so? This is a discussion about the man's hypothetical problem of land ownership After His Wife has Died. It would be spiritually scary if the dead wife were to ask the court to do anything......????
-
Land ownership
It is indeed, but the contract is between the land document and the person named as the usufruct. Should the owner (wife or whoever) sell the land the usufruct carries on until it's termination either by expiry time, by the named person giving it up or by the named person dying.
-
Land ownership
Nice idea but no. The land office will recognise the relationship between the company owner and the deceased owner and will say that this relationship is too close and likely fraudulent. Best thing is to get a usufruct on the land so that if your wife dies you can sell the land and the new owner will have to honour the usufruct. Alternatively, get a new Thai wife and sign the land to her name.

Recommendation for heart and many other ailments is not only diet but also exercise. Trouble is there are occasions when medication is absolutely necessary.

I seem to remember my parents had a lovely old mantle piece clock with westminster chimes. The chimes could be disabled thank goodness. It was an early electric clock with a spring loaded stubby little lever sticking out of a slot in the back cover. If the clock ever stopped due to loss of power etc. it had to be restarted by flicking this stubby little lever a few times. That would start the mechanism running the right direction. We always knew when the clock had stopped because the rattly grindy noise made by the gears was missing from the room.

That is interesting. The big, (off topic) question for me is, why?

What was the outcome when your daughter found out your TGF was younger than her?
Same here. My wife didn't have more money than me when we met but I think maybe she has now. Important is, she loves me to pieces as I do her.

In the market for a new PC Keyboard
My 10 year old Logitec wireless keyboard stopped a few weeks ago so I went to Do Home and got a very cheap wireless one called Vox It actually feels better than the old one and, like a good bar girl, responds well and feels good to touch.
