Sakon FC climbs to third in the league, with a chance at the Champions League Play-off Round


Last two games of the season are home games
Buriram B faces Surin in a game today (Monday 10-7). Today's game should not affect Sakon Nakhon 3d place standing.   
Some high scoring wins are needed in the last two games of the season. The point spread at the moment is very narrow. Too close for comfort

Burial Today, I'm going to let other people do it

Companion of 14 years passed away yesterday.

The last few months he'd been disabled. He had to be carried up any stair.

He should have been euthanized some time ago, he'd been at the doctors weekly, sometimes twice in a week.
It was inevitable, but still plenty of injections and medicines $$$$

I'm taking an educated guess here: Dedication of ...

UPDATE :: The parade was at 1 pm, a most unusual time for a parade
If there was a parade today, I missed it.  Obviously I was misinformed.  I did see a float heading out of town later in the afternoon. Did see three different VIP convoys head toward the lake.  Cruised along the waterfront.  Parking was at a premium. Security at a maximum.   
I'm taking an educated guess here:  Dedication of the new wing of the Sakon Nakhon Hospital.

Sakon Wax Candle parade


Taking an educated guess here. Around 5 pm.   
There's a chance that the rain will cease for the parade.

Clean the bathroom with toothpaste

I'd read about it, but never considered it.

My bathroom was getting to look pretty dirty.  Black grout, soap scum on tiles and mirrors. Finally tried some toothpaste with my scrubber.  Grout is white, tiles and mirrors are clean.  Toilet looks clean.  The whole bathroom smells fresh.
Didn't even have to scrub very hard

Maybe it's the wrong approach

Teaching responsible drinking habits would probably be a better solution

Possession of E-cigarettes is illegal. in Thailand
