Thanks Ron19 ... I'll split over a couple of posts so that I don't dominate what is a great thread ... thumbsup.gif

Bit of background, gf's old man is a Fish Farmer and sometimes the wholesalers come to the Farm to buy the freshly caught fish.

The fish are fresh, they are iced and gased

You can imagine the weight in the back of these trucks.

Maybe 1,500 kgs of fish, add a ton of water/ice ... might be a bit light on with those weights ... whistling.gif

Then the storm hits ... it's all Bangkok mud at the Farm and all but one of the trucks are 2 wheel drive.

The first 2 trucks made it through ... just

For those interested how the trucks are filled you can watch here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWWur6uS_jI

There is a sad story goes along with this one.

Owned by a good hearted elderly couple who took in a street kid, straightened him out and got him going to school, turned out to be a real bright kid.

Then the old man died and the old lady is trying to keep things going on her own but doing it tough.

Hasn't been open for business for the last couple of days, don't know what the problem is.

We don't know how lucky we are.

A few more from the 'Catch Fish Big Aunt Pond' ...

The gf's Aunt harvested her Pond catch the Fish Wholesalers came to buy.

All was good till the heavens opened up.

Now, I was bare footed, standing in the mud, rain tumbling down

... so good was the opportunity not to be missed.
