We have planted a 2nd crop of corn straight after the last one and at this stage it is looking much better than the 1st with germination up by 30 to 40%.

Mate ... there is something wrong with your photo ... an Eton with 2 working headlights (even worse, they look original), a bumper bar and a roof.

Plus the load seems to be neatly stacked and securely fastened!

Clearly not suitable for Issan roads!

Still, hell of a ride..

Here's our neighbor's (p)ride...........flags 'n' all

Not forgetting our camera shy neighbor (had to sneak up on him as he was starting it up)

and his dog (my new little friend)

You don't see many loads of hay up here that are stacked as well as this.

Finally!

No more ducks... . I know this is not the END....

speak for yourself DAL! since Shaggy put the idea in my head i am planning. but many problems still to solve

Man ... that is some machineI

Now, I'm ignorant on this as I've seen one in the flesh ... but is that a hand primed, rotary start as in the old model T Fords?

With the back photo ... I have this overwhelming urge to throw in some bails of hay, 6 of the best lassies from Issan, plenty of Beer (what ever they drink up there) for an afternoon's kiss and giggle.

This particular model would have costed 100K+ with all that body work. It's a beauty. I love the manual start(standard option) as well.

I second shaggy's comments and welcome aboard.

150k per Rai. My wife said NO! , I got to love that woman so much.

Just a couple more from the archives ,regards Goompa

Nice photo's Goompa, don't see many b/w photo's on this thread...

Is the second photo a picture of a charcoal kiln or a boonies pottery kiln?

Hello Bodrules it is a Charcoal Kiln , the family used to sell for a living - well sort of - they used Tamarind tree ton makhaaam .

Photo is up in Loei province Nong Hin.

Rice, rubber and Lamyai side by side in this valley.

Hello all again , I happened across a lost memory card , hope I don't bore you all ,awesome photos village farang , do you have a "cloud preset" on your camera ?

I do manipulate the ISO, exposure and composition prior to shooting in RAW. Everything else is done in Aperture.

Oi this is hard work !

Here's a 15 second exposure of me on the back of a motorbike following another motorbike underway to an Isaan wedding party avereging 40km/h on bumby roads.

I thought this thorough explanation was necessary...

Certainly not boring Goompa........Keep em coming

Staying on the charcoal oven theme.
