  1. My bad! I'm such a silly-billy for not explaining that the 2096 is the number of the road leading south, from Ban Dung to Non Mek. Then, another 7 km further on, it joins with the Sakon Nakhon highway. Not the year when the peeler nabbed me. Sorry for the confusion.
  2. This is really good news. Been pushing up me word count. Ready for the exam. The other day, the daughter asked if I knew 30 Thai words? I said I knew a thousand. Noon, song, sam see, haa,,,. No numbers!! Stuck on 29 at the mo'.
  3. Indeed! I was fined on the spot for driving the pick-up shirtless, on the 2096, 13 years ago.
  4. Too complicated for me to do that. Bar codes and those square dotted things give me the jips.
  5. Wanted to pay two leccy bills in Big C late last month. Could not unless I showed passport or pink ID.
  6. Thanks for that bud. And the 19 comes from 2019. You and Brian bang on the money.
  7. Killed on his bike. Real sorry to hear that. Hope you are riding that bike in the wide open spaces of the sky bud.
  8. Very slightly off topic. I would suggest a natural remedy. It means a lot of rest. and a fast. Could try it for 14 days. Having the right state of mind is important. A bit more to it. But not hard.
  9. Nonsense. ''',,,,dubious and biased anti-vax source:''' Is it true? Truth is taking a back seat it seems.
  10. But are the claims true? And if they are, does it make the jabs more toxic? And does that even matter? If they are not true; does it matter, apart from being incorrect. Don't bother me if there is even more undesirables in the jabs. Others might. But one things for sure; plenty will emerge to rubbish any claims. Why might that be! Have to think things through.
  11. Indeed! I have to give credit ti Blue fans. They are nor fooling themselves. It's a rebuild.
  12. Seems to me that anyone posting anything that is not 100% in line with CDC, WHO or government policy, get jumped on and called names. Why call someone an anti-vaxxer just for bringing information to the table? This would suggest that certain entities are afraid of people doubting what they have been told to believe.
  13. The OP is simply trying to enlighten us. Why shoot the messenger?
  14. Air con is not good for you PW. Not natural. Get with the earth and its subtle vibrations. Kick off those shoes. Take off that shirt. Feel the grass beneath your feet. Feel the sun on yer back. Look at the branches of the tree. Wonder that is bears fruit. Good to see the two of you today.
  15. Thanks MD. Lots of pics this week. Had 60, and had to get them down to 40 or so for the post.
  16. I pay for the MinL's leccy. This month it was 565 baht. Ours was just over 2k baht. What do we run? Certainly not air-con. That is for wimps. Two fridges, A bathroom water heater, Water heater in the kitchen. Very occasion use of micro-wave and juicer. TV and router. Lights. Very little things like the computer and charging mobiles. The big gobblerupper is the fans. Three in the big bedroom. Three in the lounge. One in the little bedroom, and two in the outer area. Not all on at the same time though. Later in the year, it should drop down to 1,500 like last year. PS Nearly forgot, a daily 10 minute pulse charge for the pick-up battery. It's on the blink, but I can't afford new one. PPS Once every three months, charging my hair cutter.
  17. Female mud wrestling would be OK. Plenty round here that are game for a laugh, and need some dosh.
  18. Good you appreciate me Steven What is that 'Lots of Love' thing at the end of the post? If you would like a long and covid-free life; PM me. Can't say too much on this platform.
  19. What you trying to shoot the messenger for? Your beef should be with the authorities that are hiding the evidence.
  20. The CDC is wrong. And if you are trying to get the truth about covid; stay away from the CDC and WHO web sites.
  21. Owl Log - 24-09-2023 - Sunday afternoon It's all happening. This morning, at seven, the leccy people came round to ask if we would let them put posts in our number one farm, for future leccy. Now this raises an important question. Are we willing to give up sovereignty on the 300+ metres of road that I built and paid for? Cause once they put up the posts, the road effectively becomes public. Will get along there later to see progress and get some pics. Big C. Big C.are. Had a little problem last week. And it turned out that it was my own stupid fault. I am always looking our for bargains. And I was drawn towards a stand that was displaying glasses. Not the ones that hold drinks. No! The ones that make yer see better. 59 baht! I sorted out a couple of nice pairs, and called the Mrs over. She got a couple too. One of the pairs, I noticed, had a tag that said 199 baht. In fact all the pairs that we had selected had a little tag with prices ranging from 199 baht to 299 baht. I asked the nice lady at the Big Care Service Centre if they were advertised as 59 baht? And was this the bargain price for them all? Alas! The 59 baht only referred to the kiddies play items. So put them all back. I can get those glasses in the 20 baht shop. Black mark for Big Care there. But they do have an ever-growing cannabis section. Mildred had exams on Wednesday. She finished early and called to see if I could pick her up. Which I did. On the way to Ban Dung, I saw a couple of quite big holes in the road. I thought that I would investigate on the way back. On returning, the road-repair people were already sorting it. I'm sure they will do a great job. Don't get holes that big in the 2022 every day. Not every day!! Moved the avocado trees from outside the house to the farm. The creepers had taken a grip on the biggest one. Cut off the creepers, and lifted the whole lot onto the pick-up. Will plant them over the week end. Saw a large butterfly flapping like mad. Went outside to investigate. It had got caught up in some spider lines. catch butterfly 00.mp4 Set it free it and watched it fly to freedom. Vary satisfying. Sorry spider. It's that time of year. Guys getting their best cocks out, ready to do battle. Had to pay our land tax on Friday. Although a big, and important, place, this government complex is right in the middle of nowhere. The Mrs took the deeds in, and I had a mooch about. There is a lake close and I just had to drive around it. If I could! A building on the island. It looked interesting. A bit creepy and very deserted. Although at that 'float the candle on a little raft time' it's probably busy. It's a big lake. At a guess I'd say 200 rai. Found a fisherman. ''What yer got there bud?'' ''Hi farang. Just a couple of pla nin.'' Found the overflow. The water goes under the road, and tumbles down the valley. Would have looked for the underground pipe if I'd had more time. But had to go back for Mrs Owl. Best not to keep her waiting. Visit to the afternoon market last week. This is a daily market. Concentrates on veggies, fruit and take-away food. The Mrs asks me for money. I always part with 1,000 baht. Never get any change. That reminds me; gave her 1,000 baht to pay the tax. She said it came to 260 baht. No change as yet. She must be saving up for something. Asked Mildred to take a pic of the school before she left on Wednesday. She took me literally!! Brought back bad memories that. Don't remember plastic chairs at Erkie. Mildred's latest. www.mildredart.com There are always things going on at Bella's farm. Mildred's rice plantation looks awful. Is there simply too much rice in too small a pot? Latest puppy pic. Let the little bird go. Plenty of rain earlier in the week. But with the rain comes mud. What silly sod went and broke the upper ring of the overflow? More expense. Found a new place to get yer cows made. Guy resting, and having a fag, after cutting eucas at his farm. Beautiful plants outside the house. Been some great skies lately. This pic taken outside the VOA on the 2022. Been using the laundry service in Ban Dung. Handy for those big items like bedding, that can't get in yer washing machine at home. That reminds me that John Burridge dressed as Superman in the game against Newcastle. (last quiz question). Another in the week. Relegated (last season) Peacocks and Foxes both had good wins. Saints lost again. Getting serious far Owls after another defeat. Promoted Tractor Boys doing well. Orient shooting up their table. Red Bull's Max Verstappen wins this weekend's Japan F1 race by 20 seconds. Wouldn't drink a RB if it was offered to me for free. Gone right off it. The drink, and the racing. Still popular though; it seems. There was a plan to host an F1 race, around the streets of Bangkok, a few years back. Don't know why that didn't materialise. Gonna help Mildred with some maths, ready for her mid-term exam tomorrow. Shop lady next door to us is out of hospital. Went in a hospital in Udon, a week ago, for a leg operation. Seems to be OK. Leccy bill a little lower this month. Just over 2k baht. Michael and Mem - breeder of our two dogs, Robert and Oscar, - paid us a visit today. Had a great chin wag. Two people in the village died last week. In the down-village area. Not much news on it from the Mrs. No rain forecast for the following week. Has the dry season kicked in? Good job the ponds are full. Only one thing left to say; bye y'all
  22. Some posters on the thread think the 'virus' came from an Wuhan lab. In an accidental leak. Others might believe it was engineered to be pathogenic, and deliberately let loose during the Military games in 2019. Some may think it jumped from an animal (bat or pangolin). Others say it is simply a glorified 'flu'. That is not my position; on any of the above.. If anyone has had the jab, they are more likely to get vax-related illnesses than the un-jabbed. Maybe death too. You don't think I'm correct in saying that?
