Seems like a reasonably smart move for you 👍🏼

I’d only expect a tyre to come off the rim if under inflated Owl ? I have spotted a couple of ev motorcycles, today, I’m not so sharp on picking out the cars though. How is your 3 wheeler going otherwise ?

It’s still sounding like it’s at your end sparky

One end of most of the paddy’s was still a bit wet in spite of not much rain the past few days This ended up taking over an hour to extract… we couldn’t keep the engine running to wedge the log and drive out, so it was the two of us with the heave ho and needed the wives in as well ! Eventually we got out With a black sky closing in and daylight running out it was time to start tossing rice out and about Time for well deserved beers after that.

I know many of you guys have got/have had dud brother in laws, geez I’m lucky, mines pretty bloody good. I got sent off to the farm this arvo to help my “brother” Green. I had bought a second hand tractor and trailer in 2018 for the family farm (about B30000 from memory) today I finally got to see it in action. Most of the farm had been sown for rice in the past week but about 6 paddy’s still to be done was today’s job. I had no idea how important the timing of the plowing was regarding rain, I now understand…

Later, we saw Kun Somchai have problems at the intersection of the Nong Khai Rd and 2267 Rd… Hot on the scene were 2 of Thailands finest police to help him pour 5lt of petrol into his ute under the watchful eye of an emergency services crew, community policing at its best. The kids are 17 and both of them and Mrs HP went into goggle eyed hysterics when I described the scene and named Somchai… “How you know about Somchai… “ “Farang know all I said…” 🤣 More laughter… 🤔

Greetings from Phon Phisai, Owl and constant readers. Great weather up here the past 2 days, overcast and cool but sadly lacking in rain, I hope you guys have fared better ? Myself, Mrs HP, her daughter and nephew went to the markets this morning, lots to see and eat, but the tingtong farang forgot to take pics 🙄 Owl, I have learned nothing from you, forgive me, I am sorry… 😢 Mrs HP needed to pick up mums station wagon from the mechanics after the markets B3220 2 x new tyres, 4 x new seat covers, light/indicator repairs and a rear view mirror (please tell me they serviced the engine… ?) We jumped on board and got about a km to the main “River Hwy” (Nong Khai Rd) Just about to enter the intersection when “BANG !! The new rear tyre blew ! I thought I’d upset a local and was a drive by shooting victim… 😎🤣 We pulled a quick U turn to clear the intersection and the kids took off to fetch the mechanic back. He arrived 15 mins later, pulled the wheel off and fled the scene 🤣 to return 30 mins later, refit the wheel and then go off to road test… which led to an interesting discussion with MrsHP… ”Darling, you have money ?” ”Why ?” ”Maybe cost more” ”Maybe he not do good job, In Aussie his problem, he fix” ”Thailand… darling !” Pleasantly, he returned and advised no charge, so I gave him B40 for some Leo for his time.

So you refuse to verify your account and it’s their fault…? Ummm, ok 👍🏼

Well, I did read it for you… 🤷🏼‍♂️

No problems George, as someone who was flying Singapore Air on the 23 May your understanding of the issues and clear communication was comforting to me, as is Singapore Airs communications about the event.

@Georgealbert

You could read the thread, in particular @Georgealbert’s post from Wednesday @2:32.

Citrus like many other fruits in pots are prone to drying out too much and fruit will drop. You will need at be an active and frequent waterer or have irrigation to do it for you.

A sign of desperate times…

Particularly when you have no plan b 🤣

Thank you for posting this for the attention of LG battery owners, should we also post every ice recall as well…?

Geez, that sounds like a hell of a concussion Xylo, best to chase it up. Congrats on your new digs too. I had a chat with the manager of the Aussie Bar on Bangla, nice outgoing type, he seems fairly happy with Bangla for this time of year. I’m in Phon Phisai at the moment but he offered to replay the Carlton v Port AFL game when I get back. Can’t complain about that 👍🏼

The lockdown efficacy was purely to slow the transmission and reduce the total volume of people in the hospital system and it worked unequivocally. I can understand questioning of the flow on effects of children and schools and general social issues.

Oil fed idiots cannot see that though.

Hey @xylophone how are you getting along ? I hope you’re a bit more comfortable and mobile now ? Ive been away for 5 years, some things the same, some different, Patong never stays still does it. The weed shops are to be seen to be believed, they outnumber 7-11 by 50 to 1 😳 Some rain would be welcome though…

The listing of popular threads that used to live at the bottom of the page when browsing on a mobile was a useful feature I always thought. Is there any hope for its return ?

Its also an hour or two from landing, wake people up, give em something to chew on and get em on the ground.

Yeah, not accepting a sim is strange for a phone, most baked bean cans nowadays accept sim...😎

Hey @owl sees all you’ve hit the big time…! Congeatulations, of sorts… 🤣 You’re officially a Facebook celebrity 🤔

Welcome back Owl, I was starting to wonder if you’d run off with the hat lady 😱
