Sakon FC / Sakon Nakhon Railroad / Power Grid Upgrade



Disappointing Sakon FC performance at Chaiyaphum
Watched the game via live stream at the Sakon FC website.
Chaiyaphum scored during the opening minutes of the game.
The outlook wasn't great.
Even though Sakon was able to score one goal, Chaiyaphum outperformed them.
Sakon FC did have a number of close calls, but you know the old saying "No Cigar."

The game ended with Sakon FC loosing 2-1.


Sakon Nakhon Railroad 
Don't get in a rush to buy your train tickets just yet.
National News Bureau of Thailand reports that the State Railway of Thailand "IS PREPARED" to build a rail line between Udon Thai and Sakon Nakhon.
Another Rail line is on the drawing boards between Khon Kaen and Nakhon Phanom
Having seen the progress of widening the highway between Udon and Sakon Nakhon, I suspect this project will be a long time in the making


Power Grid Upgrade

There have been more power outages  in the area I live in this year, than in past years.
Most outages are during thunderstorms and heavy downpours.
These outages are generally short term, generally restored within an hour.
Power outage today was due to an upgrade of the main cables along the northern half of I.T.U. (Avenue).
Everything went dead at 9:30 AM.  My laptop went dead about two hours later.


Spent most of the day keeping cool in my pool
Even the locals were complaining of the heat without fans.
Power was restored at 6:30 PM.
Since today's installation only covered half of the highway, I suspect there will be a similar outage tomorrow.  Everything that's chargeable is being charged tonight.
