  1. One of the great moments in life is listening to Ella live! Wow! Fully gal, too!
  2. Sometimes you can mount the single-hose portable A/C on the outside, just screened (or otherwise protected) from rain, and just hose the cold air indoors you get a win-win. Our stands in a DIY plastic greenhouse, and has done so for many years now, and the hose passes through a small window. Condensation water is the only issue, but we pipe that down the side of the house. We had planned to use it for growing plants in the greenhouse, but we never got that far. Only used summertime, of course! Life goes on, and plants can be bought! And now we're in Thailand, in a house with A/C! Lots of A/C!
  3. You need to know if the charge stations along the route on your car map are free, working, and possible to use with your car to be able to plan, as otherwise, you risk spending as long in queues to get access to charging (and charging) as your time spent on traveling to your goal. That is sadly what happens to many EV owners if they plan to travel a decent distance! Our local truck plant only makes heavy trucks, all powered by electrics, as they are designed for local delivery, and garbage collection (thus about 100 miles per day). They have given up making long distance trucks!
  4. I love Gin! Anyway, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyPQNsJsxjQ
  5. Even better would be if all two-wheelers stop using petrol, and there was an annual inspection of every car and motorbike that excluded every vehicle that did not follow US exhaust regulations!
  6. Toyota's new barebones pickup truck will cost €10,000 according to Mr. Toyoda (grandson of the founder), and be both a fuel miser and suitable for families and small businesses. And it runs on fuel, not electric supplies! I love EVs and electric tools (and aircraft), but only if you can charge them at home. If you need to go a fair distance, say 400 miles and back (including overnighting) electrics aren't the cheapest option, and even more so if you include depreciation. To go longer distances fuel is sadly the way forward, or sailing! At home we have hefty electric ferries that ply back and forth over the river, and out into the archipelago, but they never stray far from home, and get charged overnight with no problems. If the news is to be believed both Ford and GM are stalling their electric vehicles production, diverting their resources to other types of propulsion!
  7. Sadly, no. But a healthy lifestyle, no alcohol, no sugar, no smoking, and avoiding the sun is the recipe (it sure helps if you're a vegetarian)!
  8. Where can I find that map?! Would be interesting to keep a tab on the weather here!
  9. It is when warm air collides with colder air that things go crazy, like it did here in Hua Hin last night.
  10. We had a lot of lightning and rain last night here in Hua Hin, so loud that it hurt our ears! Much better today, Monday.
  11. Our Samsung is very basic, one of the cheapest on the market here, and it has not even a display, but cool, quiet and very efficient!
