Never a truer word spoken! And, as for me, JS BACH never grows old. I have been listening to JS BACH for almost six decades. NEVER grows old... And, just so very beautiful, no matter how many times I listen to the same piece. Try the Toccata, is my advice, for one.... But.... BLAST it MAN! BLAST AWAY with it! As someone said on UTUBE:

I am VERY curious.... What headphones are you using...just in case you might not mind sharing. I use the high quality AudioTechnica...phones. Not the best brand..maybe.... But, due to my age-related hearing loss, which is nothing more than normal for my advanced age.... The AudioTechnica phones are definitely good enough. IF I were much younger, then I could probably benefit from higher-end phones. So, what are you using? And, last but not least, WHAT is your AGE, if you do not mind sharing, Sir? Thank you. Hopefully, you will not shirk from complete candidness in your reply. NOTE: I really cannot say that you and one other, one whose name begins with a C, are not among my favorite mods in this world of TV. Therefore, I think I deserve a more candid reply, in this case....

"Very far away".... Hendrix FLY ON FLY ON

Correct. By now, you should have realized that I post ONLY interesting topics on TV. And, your eureka moments must come few and far between, is my guess. Still, a few are better than none.

No dog for me. I leave the dogs for you to enjoy.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Anytime I decide to CRANK UP the Volume in my abode.... I turn it up HIGH, and then go outside and walk around the perimeter of my property. I do this to ensure that I am not disturbing others. As you know, I plan to use GAFFERS TAPE to seal my windows tight. This is the LEAST I can do to be a good neighbor. Also, what I really need is an accurate meter to measure the decibels in my study. No doubt, I can easily get my ears ringing for the following 24 hours, if I have a mind to do so. (Maybe this Farang DING DONG?)

Yes....but....you just miss the.... POUNDING! At my age, with my hearing loss....it's the... POUNDING that I enjoy, maybe.... Pound Away......I Say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Also, being celibate....maybe....this is just the ONLY POUNDING I get, these days.)

Good! But.... When you BLAST AWAY with this....just....do NOT forget to.... BATTON DOWN THE HATCHES..... I keep my house completely sealed lest this great music might LEAK OUT...to disturb....my less sensitive.... NEIGHBORS! nEIGHBORS who just might not be from Ireland.... I LOVE Ireland, guys!!!!!!!!! Always have.... Always will.....

RIGHT! So...THIS is just one reason I moved out of condo living. Sometimes....I ....just....feel the need...to.... BLAST AWAY, BABY!!!!!!!!!!! (CLEAR THE COBWEBS, so to speak!!!!!!!)

My Dear fELLOW Audiophiles: I am just sitting here wondering if you might, these days, be just too old to blast the blasting blasted music as you once enjoyed when you were a bit younger. As for me, sometimes I still do BLAST AWAY! For example, I have three audio amplifiers, and 10 decent speakers in my abode. And, on rare occasions, I just feel like BLASTING the BLASTED Music....but not too often. What I do is to close all the windows, TURN UP the ACs, FULL BLAST, and then let my Music Rip, and, thereby, Let my Freak Flag Fly.... When I first heard this tune, 6 Was 9, just after its release, I was just BLOWN AWAY by it! I was at the exact right age for it, too. So, anyway, if you were to BLAST AWAY with 6 Was 9 in your Thai wooden house, would the house come tumbling down? And, WHAT WOULD Your Thai Wife say??????? I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this what you say to yourselves? White Collar Conservative Flashing Down the Street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, Man! So, anyway, I am still not too old to BLAST AWAY! But, normally, if there is anything NORMAL in my life, or normal about me..... I prefer to BLAST AWAY with ............. JEFF BECK! Fortunately, I live alone. I have no irritating wife to bother me when I BLAST AWAY.... A small price to pay, not having a wife...when....when one is without this BAGGAGE...then on can just.... BLAST AWAY at any time of the day or night. Listen carefully...to what I say....folks. Regards, Gamma Note: And, to all you deserters from America out there, or any out there who have likewise DESERTED your HOMECOUNTRY......Listen to Jimi.... LET JIMI TAKE OVER!...........!!!!! Or...Let JS BACH...take over....FULL BLAST.... UPS TO YOU! NOTE2: I Dedicate this Topic to....The American Deserters Society! (to paraphrase Jimi) NOTE3: imho....Jimi was a true genius, not just musically. But, a genius. Far beyond most ahole Mensa wannabees.

Yes. Buying from China is the best way to get decent sheets in Chiang Mai, at least from my experience.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Education is not fit to train the electricians that are needed. They seem to know nothing, and do not care that they know nothing about Physics or electricity. Weird!

100 percent cotton sheets last forever? I will look at Home Pro... But, sheets are expensive here. And, the sheets at Robinson that I bought wore out fast in the washing machine...

So, they think WE are the crazy ones? Maybe so....

I will use this. But what kind of diploma? From where?

This might actually be quite useful.

The thin ones, mostly, maybe....

Correct...but...if they do not even know Ohm's law, in this day and age...then there must be something amiss with them. Therefore, don't even hire them...because.... Must be mentally challenged, for something... Obviously. Only hire SMART Guys, is the best way to go.... All the time.

Then, what is the Flux Capacitor used for???? And, yes, I know your meaning of flux. (for use in soldering) But then, there is also the use of FLUX in Physics' terms, as well, of course.

Not EXACTLY! As you can see from this image: Also, let's not forget FLUX! Nitwits..... Or, in my view.... FLUX NITWITS....

Please do not forget the left-hand rule. Why do we have BOTH the left and and right hand rule? Do you know? This might be a good test for the HVAC technicians that visit our homes.

Have you ever talked to the technicians who come to your door? Even the most basic knowledge, they often do not know Why is this? Is it just because the companies that hire these nitwits just basically settle for any warm body, or whatever they are willing to pay for? Most companies, seemingly, do not hire the smart guys, maybe because the smart guys cost too much. All I know is that if you ask these guys a few pertinent questions, then one quickly learns that .... These tech guys know next to NOTHING. Therefore, the consumer must have several good short tests to weed out the nitwits, if the companies who send these technicians to us are not willing to do so.

Joking aside now.... Most definitely.... I will devise a short quiz for ANY technician who comes to my house...in the future. NO MORE of this nonsense of sending unqualified personnel to work on my ACs, Electrical Wiring, or...whatever. Total incompetency...and very LOW IQ, as well... Where do these companies find these lowlifes, anyway? IMHO....the guys that come to my house in Thailand to work on my ACs and wiring .... must have been.... IMPORTED from Florida. In South Florida, you get even worse, however....

Hi Folks, I need a few tests to separate the wheat from the chaff. I find that I often waste much time waiting for technicians to come to my door, only to eventually realize that they are NUMBSKULLS. So, what I REALLY need are a few short, five-minute accurate quizzes to separate the good and intelligent electricians, HVAC guys, and plumbers, from the aholes. In other words, I just need a few short tests to know which technicians are legit, and which are complete dullards. Are there any tests of this kind that I can administre before these guys begin fing around, mucking things up? In fact, I have often thought about devising such a test, or tests, myself. But, are there any readymade tests that you might know of, online, or anywhere? Why would you want some total idiot fing around with your plumbing, your AC, your circuit breakers, and your wiring, unless you had first established that the guy who comes to your door had some minimum education and intelligence??? I have had some real aholes try to pass themselves off for qualified technicians. And this is always a huge waste of time. THEREFORE: What I think is that I must first give these guys a five-minute quiz before they even set foot inside my house. This is the ONLY WAY to avoid having about 90 percent nitwits pass themselves off as either intelligent or qualified or trained to work on the stuff in my house. PLEASE SUGGEST some good quick tests I can administer to these guys. If they pass, then fine. If they do not pass, then ByeBye Birdie... Please list some short tests you think might work. Tks. Gamma Note: So much frustration and time might be saved to weed out the chaff before they pass over my threshold to enter my house and begin to muck things up. Note2: When I say ByeBye Birdie.... Here is really what I want to say to the inept majority that I have seen around here.... Anyway.... NOT JOKING.... In the future.... Any technician that enters my domain must pass a test. And now, I need to find a few good tests to administer. Hopefully, in the future, if we all test technicians before they begin doing anything, then we can weed out the guys that should not even be on the job....because.... Do you REALLY think that the companies that send these technicians do an adequate job of qualifying their people before they send them to do a job for us?????????????????????? NO NO NO NO WAY They just do not. They do not care Education is substandard So... We need to test ourselves before they touch ANYTHING.... If they are not up to standard... Then... Reject Ask for another... Then, test again... And...test again... Until you finally get some guy who has half a brain.... Might take some time.... ========== When I say a quick test, I mean that there are many tests you might administer to your HVAC technician or electrician. Here is an idea: Just show this image to your Thai Tech guy, and ask him what it means.... Then, ask the tech guy about the RIGHT HAND RULE. If this ahole has never even heard of the Right Hand Rule.... Then just drop-kick him out the door....because... he is a total fool. Sorry...but...he must be a dolt. And this is the 10-second quiz to separate the educated HVAC guys from the dolts. Sorry... But, not everyone can be educated in this world, I guess.... Judging from the tech guys that come to me door.... DULLARDS, almost every one.

I have noticed that the cost of my premium jasmine rice has actually decreased during this year. Not sure why. Maybe, the large local retailers are just trying to mess with my mind. (I pay about Bt.250 or Bt.240 for FIVE KILOGRAMS of Jasmine Rice. Seems a good price for me. Several years ago, price of same rice was higher.)
