owl sees all

Top of the list for me - at least in the west - is CNN and the BBC.

Was that not the ex-POTUS's brother?

Drip, drip, drip, still fills the bucket. Unfortunately, I don't see The Don changing anything after his election.

Seems like The Don is very popular with some. They might not like The Don being locked away.

The US and UK protecting freedom!! just a joke. The US is the world number one aggressor, and perhaps giving the nature of modern weaponry, the biggest threat to mankind since we (humans) first came into being.

Don't agree with you Brian. IMO, the head of the snake is the US, with yappy dog UK, hanging in there.

Not so Trans. Once the Iranians showed what they were capable of doing, that off-shoot of the conflict all died a death.

See how quickly Israel backed off when Iran showed they meant business. Don't think we will see Israel take such a chance again.

Right up there with Madeline Albright. Well, not quite that high up the lady evil list.

POS eh! Don't think that refers to 'Person Of Standing'.

Anyone new on the payroll?

The difference between a safe area and outside is just a few metres. Not everyone has your humanity outlook Mr N.

The 'pandemic' never shut anything down. Compromised authorities did that. ''Unprecedented deaths.'' ???

So in your opinion Trans, there was a pandemic?! Can't be persuaded by stats?

OK. Thanks for that CL. Of course I've eaten them when they are ripe. Didn't recognise them small. TBH, they are a little sour for me. Dip them in honey.

Impressive stacking. Wouldn't be good to trip over any corner fruits.

Owl Log - 26th May 2024 - Sunday afternoon Had to take the Sis in Law (noi) to Ban Dung on Friday. Only there for a short time, while she paid the interest of her daughter's debt to a business on the main drag. Know all about that place. While I was sitting there waiting I noticed that the 'beast' was back. Unloved and not cared for. Had to go over and take a butchers. See if it had a respray and revamp. No respray as far as I could see. Last motted 4 years ago. Across the road back, there was another vehicle I was familiar with. Now which one would I rather have? Mildred takes the new Mazzararti to the farm. Don't break that mirror dear. Shot round the back road on the way home. Still no idea whats it gonna be used for. The land next door has been completely cleared. A future car park? At the palm farm, I tipped 5 bags of cow poo poo, into the channels. The idea is to let the water take the nutrients down to the trees. I'll be buying regular cow poo poo. No chemical fertilizer at all from now on. The other two solar systems will have to wait until October now, as the rain has set in. Been quite heavy in the last 7 days. Ponds are doing OK. I'm sure that without the water replenishment from the solar system we would have lost 3 ponds for sure this year; maybe 4. Pond 5 looks particularly healthy. Mrs Owl says these fruits grow quite big. Can't say I recognise the fruit. Plenty on the tree which is somewhat hidden at the back of number 7. When the water in the ponds fill right up. Mildred reckons to put the pinkies in number 6 pond. At the mo they are doing OK in the tub. Someone has been after the shrimps. Me mucker Kun has been helping at the farm, keeping an eye on things, while I'm not there. I'm gonna get another panel for him. When the water table is lowered, his pump can't pump. So I think another panel will help get the water up. Though not so important now, if the wet weather continues. I'll try to get precisely the same panel. If not, I'll keep an eye on the dimensions and get a 450 watt. The avoes have kicked the bucket. Well!! Two out of the three. The other tree is showing a little life. But I don't hold up much hope. The second round of crickets at the Big Mango lady's house. What an earner they must be. A new project in Mildred's class. +++++ Perhaps the biggest match of the season tonight at 9pm. Peacocks v Saints. Who will join Tractors and Foxes next year in the EPL. I'd like to watch it. Don't know how unless I get a VPN. +++++ Not heard about me motor bike. Last I heard was that it had to have a new petrol tank. I expect a bill of 5k or so. Can't see myself going to the farm on the leccy. +++++ It's been raining. Very hard on a couple of occasions. Great to have it. +++++ Mildred has lost her purse with her ID inside. Monday (tomorrow) she will have to go to the police, and then next door, to the government place. I'll go to Ban Dung to pick her up tomorrow. ++++++ There was big news last week with the Thai minister meeting with the oil-palm farmers. The price is gradually dropping. Price right now 4-55 baht a kilo. If it drops to below 3 baht a kilo, it becomes uneconomical for many farmers to even cut. +++++ Looking forward to the Olympics. Only really interested in the swimming though. Especially in the 100, 200 and 400 Free and 100 Breast. +++++ Had a Lazada delivery of both ginger-beer and vanilla cordial. The way I make it is with some honey, a cap of cordial, and a cold soda water. Very refreshing. +++++ Leccy bill was the highest for 12 months. 2047 baht. So not too bad considering we have had fans on 24/7. The M in L's went down to 257 baht. Can expect that to go even lower as she has moved in with Noi. +++++ Lady came round for some dosh this morning. 3k baht gone. But we will get back 12 sacks of rice when the times come. Been doing this for a number of years. +++++ The UK General Election has been called. 4th July. Special day in the US, that date. Might see some shocks on the day. +++++ Only one thing left to say; bye ya'll.

The Mrs said the guy in the shop said is was a 'bus' battery. Probably a 48v 20A lead acid. I'll take a look.

Does this count as a leccy vehicle? The family's new run-a-bout. 2 hours to full charge; from zero 0 to 35kmph in 4 seconds 70km range 400 kg pay load. The nuts.

I've installed two systems at the farm. One 1100 watt, t'other 1650 watt.

Think you read my post incorrectly Trans. Just goes to show how misguided members were.

Anyone that suggested that there was no such thing as a pandemic or covid-19 got a holiday. How things have turned around? The jab proponents are very quite now.

Thanks for the heads up on the Apple. Might be worth a trip to Laos for the phone. Can get a Rolex there for 500 baht. Must be able to get an Apple for about the same. And for those smarty-pants out there. I'm talking a mobile smart phone, not one of those round things some people eat. I'll get a phone guy in Ban Dung to check out the SIM and slot.

I understand George. Have to educate these amateur, and misguided, posters.

Way above my understanding. I might buy an Apple next. They never have problems. But could I get one for under a grand baht?
