Your hobbies !... Have you finished any projects around your Place Of Residence in Thailand lately ?

Be good to see updates from you all. I have completed a few since January, and wondered what everyone else is doing, to pass the time...

P.S. Not sure where this needed to be posted, so i put it in General to start.....

attachicon.gifSnapshot_20150401_3.JPGattachicon.gifSnapshot_20150401_4.JPGJust finished this one.....a pizza oven and B-B-Que in one...

Nice.

An upper shelf or rack and it could be a fish smoker too.

Since we talked about it, I made a batch of pizza dough....two lumps (two pizzas each) left in the freezer, plus a jar of home-made basil tomato base, frozen also.

Hint, hint.thumbsup.gif

Bring it on.....I reckon we could do a roast lamb in it as well....lol

I have a GREAT roast lamb recipe done on the bbq. Did it once on a boys fishing weekend away...became a legend (the lamb leg, not me).

Might have to settle for a leg of goat though. smile.png

Since we are talking about hobbies, here's a photo of some of my recent hobby work - to install a lattice tower and mast at my home in Phuket to upgrade my 'hosting' the receiving antennas and associated equipment for data receivers for flightradar24.com (aircraft) and marinetraffic.com (ships) websites, where you can track/follow the location of ships and aircraft in real-time.

post-174-0-72039800-1427895848_thumb.jpg

The tower is about 11 metres in height, self-supporting and set in a cubic meter of concrete/rebar at the base.

Then there is another 9 metres or so of aircraft aluminium, telescopic mast.

The aircraft receiving antenna is located right at the top of the mast - I highlighted it in red colour.

The 2 antennas that I use to receive the marine data are located a couple of metres below the aircraft data antenna.

At the top of the mast section, there is a weatherproof box that houses the receivers and power supplies.

Then ethernet cables connect them to my internet router, located at ground level.

This is all working quite well, but I'll make some upgrades to extend the coverage in the future.

Still to be mounted on that mast are some of my ham radio antennas...

My Thai family sh*t themselves, every time that they see me climb to the top of the tower - worrying about their ATM perhaps??

Wow, that's interesting. Had no idea flightradar gets its info from enthusiasts. Any attention from any one in uniforms yet?

Can't complain. Finished two art commissions this week, finished playing "The Book of Unwritten Tales 2". Oh the joys of not having to work 9 to 5. Feels good doesn't it? biggrin.png

I hold a Thai ham radio licence for over 10 years, plus permission for my radios, antennas/masts etc. I also work as a police TPV for many years, so have helped the police out over the years with radio issues/ideas.

So nope - no problems with the authorities if that's what you mean.

Is building a chicken coup and starting a flock of chickens a project if so I finished that last month. Now have eggs everyday. The wife uses them for baking so everyday it is cake or cookies or cupcakes. Chickens get the stale baked goods.
