The reason I never liked golf is because it seemed odd playing alone for some reason. I felt like just wandering off or going hiking or mountain biking.
I like things I can just get up and do at any time without planning, rather then scheduling to meet people.
I worked a 3rd shift (night shift) for many years when I was younger. That shift had many benefits. One was the ability to play nearly any local golf course without having the need for a tee time. I would go sign in as a single and almost immediately I would be paired up with other players, a threesome, twosome, or just another single.
In any case I never played alone and doing so I met many great folks and a few new close friends.
The downside playing with complete strangers is that my real golf buddies didn't believe that I made an eagle (par 4, in 2).

getting good at golf requires more than most are able to put into it. becoming great at golf requires the total package. the focus and patience either make or break most.
on the subject of size. i am around 5 10 and 70 to 72 kilo. small for a foreigner. anyway a few years back i won a long drive contest at a tournament back home. when i went up to collect the prize some scoffed and i got a few comments saying how it was impossible a guy my size could hit like that.
346 yards off the tee won the long drive :)
I am 5'8" and at the time about 70 kg when I won a longest drive contest. Sure a couple guys out drove me but they were not in bounds.
I missed winning closest to the pin during that same 'best ball' tournament by mere inches.

I do have a friend in the USA who hunts with bow, crossbow, knife and spear, but only when he needs to, and not always successful.
Please enlighten me with what does he hunt using a knife and spear?
A knife I can understand the need to use in order to field dress and clean an animal, but that's not really considered 'hunting' with it, is it?
......and a spear?

North America or South America?
If it was in the USA it wouldn't be used for a school but rather a typical home in the Detroit area.

I took a video recently of a festival that is currently occurring. At this festival you can rent a small scooter for your youngster to learn how not to wear a helmet. Teaching them at such a young age that a helmet is not required.
(This is a snapshot of that video)

I've seen the inside of numerous Thai schools throughout the years and many should be considered condemned.

I used to be able to bang 4-5-6 times a night too, and those days are way behind me too. 😄
Anyone can bang many times a night with the help of that little blue pill......but can you fight?

A lot of well deserved ranting about the lack of/quality of sidewalks in Thailand....... so how about all those left hand lanes in the streets? You know, the ones that everyone double-parks in. Traffic would perhaps move smoother and safer if they cleared all the vendor carts and double parking that occurs in the leftmost lanes of many streets.
Hey, don't get me started on the so-called 'zebra-crossings' (marked pedestrian crosswalks).

Perhaps it is just me, but I was taught to use commas and periods differently especially when the subject is money.
(The subject line makes little sense without a secret decoder ring.)

Re-created our photos in the kitchen, by the gate and in front of the house. They asked where the couch in the other photo was, "upstairs" (lounge is upstairs), they were invited to look but declined.
All very professional, it's the same chaps every year.
The only issue is this turning up and causing Madam to receive phone-calls "what has khun Crossy been arrested for?", for flips sake guys, it's not like they've not been before!
What, no covered parking for your guests?
Is valet parking out of the question........

What would you do?

I went to my local supermarket chain and seeing they still had some good looking Muscat grapes available I decided to pick up a bag even though there was a hefty price of 299/kg.
I took the bag to the weighing counter and laid them on the conveyor while the attendant gave me a cheerful smile. The grapes were weighed, I picked up the bag, and while walking back to my cart I glanced at the sticker to see the final price of the bag I chose.
What?? Just a mere 59 THB !!!!!!
That had to be a mistake so I took the bag back to that same attendant and pointed at the price on the sticker. The attendant immediately took the bag, weighed it again, attached a new sticker over the old one, and thanked me several times as I took my newly priced bag and went walking to my cart.
Looking at the sticker, 288 THB, much closer to the expected price.
Now I ask, what would you have done? Would you try to check out with the wrong priced produce hoping that the attendant at the door checking receipts didn't notice it? Or would you do as I did, get the price corrected?
Now for a little humor..... I gave some thought as to why the attendant priced my grapes incorrectly. This is my conclusion and a good example that concentration is not always being used at work. That 58 THB label had the price per kg and description for guava. What do Thais call guava fruit? Farang. I'm definitely a farang having blonde hair and blue eyes. The attendant saw me walking to the weigh station and looked at me directly in the eyes as I laid my bag of grapes down. Not thinking the product code for guava was entered!
