Sorry for not reporting for 25 hrs.

Went enduro riding this AM.

1.  papa has no new bike.

b. sent one back to BKK after evaluating it

4. rented one from PJ Trading, but not papa's bike, yet.

d. PJ had it serviced [oil, filters, new tires, new battery] but hasn't provided promised receipts, yet.

5.  papa will buy this tight bike within 6 days, regardless.  It looks and runs great ... 

except left rear-view mirror screws need tightened & lock-tight.

& tires seem over-inflated.

Thanks for your concern.  

Will try to do better.

 

 

here you go papa......

A ponzi scheme that use cryptocurrencies. Some people like to equate cryptocurrencies to scam because they don't understand them. 

i was thinking more along the lines of tether. 2 bank accounts, 2 ledgers, pretty pain free and totally legal.

our entire species needs to be emotionally neutered in some way. 

i bet that public air travel as we know it today won't even exist 30 years from now.

Common occurence during his speches. Prawith hasn't managed to stay awake through one of anyone's speeches.

 

                                         

 

Here's a couple of snaps taken during a recent Prayut address to parliament.

 

                    

“Now father, you’re living in the past. This is the 14th century.”

without outside help thai farmers will be highly disappointed. a pound of outdoor thai grown wouldn't fetch much more than a few hundred dollars per back home. canada.

the best growers in the world tend to stay away from govt programs for good reason..... we all know what happens when govt's get involved.

to sum up the article......bla bla bla we can't do what the black market does.

the product being put out by the LP's in canada cannot compete with the black market in most cases. it is simply sub par and totally overpriced. 

allow normal people who want to follow the laws to grow and sell to an open market. let the market dictate where things go.

Mine is similar to the above, the air is drawn in through the lower case, it is blown out the top, it does not cool the air, it is designed to filter/purify NOT cool.

approx size around 10" square by 18" tall. whisper quiet.

I am very pleased with its performance for the last 6+ months I have had it.

52x24x24 cm for mine so about the same ya. super quiet and sitting at a reading of 12 now. 

not sure how long the filter is going to last though. my ac filters need to be cleaned every 2 weeks. so dirty in pathum.

Considering the millions made by all the Hollywood gang involved, I have absolutely no mercy in downloading freebie blockbusters....

billions. 

bought a new purifier for the coming smog season which seems to be here already. i live in pathum thani and the aqi index at bkk university right now is 112. unboxed the unit and plugged it in. reading came out at 30. 

i live down a small soi with a lot of trees and bush around. quite a way away from all the traffic and shops etc.

a/c stays on pretty much 24/7 in my bedroom. room is about 5 meters by 5 meters. i have a sliding glass door from my room out to a balcony. opened the door for about 15 minutes and the reading shot up to over 60. closed the door and as i type it is back down to 36 and falling. after having the unit on for about an hour after first plugging it in the reading was down to around 21. 

seems to be working but that could be just a make you feel good display. who really knows. anyways here is a link to the unit. good price and if this one doesn't work ill sort out a better one.

unit came quick - ordered it on wed and it came today. also saw some pm2.5 filter material that you can insert into the a/c unit. might be a good extra feature to add.

and a picture of the actual unit. reading is down to 32 now. looks like i will be holed up in my room.

bliss i tell ya.

bought a used ktm duke 390 a few months ago. no complaints really other than i don't really like the engine sound the 1 cylinder makes. 

 

i rode from pathum thani to bkk and from pathum to trat already. both trips were really fun. 

 

replacement parts can be found on ebay for decent prices. your need to find a good shop to service it though. i found one out near me with great staff and service. they have done a bang up so far of fixing anything i wanted. bk bike shop - khlong sam - pathum thani

 

i drive it hard all the time and she keeps on giving. 

 

i wish i could find some foot rests to put on the crash mounts so i could extend my leg on longer trips. i have terrible ankles and knees and it wares on me after a while. 

 

seating position is decent but i am looking to replace the seat foam for my next trip. the foam is not great for longer trips at all. 

 

decent amount of power to get in and out of any troubles you may run into. small enough to get in between traffic as well.

 

i often ride into bkk on it with no issues at all. 

 

doesn't seem to be the best on gas but i think that is me and my terrible riding habits. 

 

 

was meant to read pathum thani to hat yai and pathum thani to trat. hat yai was a long ride.
