Keeping Cool on Hot Days

Misting fans now available locally   I'd been doing it for years: Wet towel covering the top half of the fan produced cooler air than just the fan running. Only problem was towels would dry in a matter of three to five minutes. Had considered purchasing a misting fan for years,  but the prices where a lot more than what I wanted to pay. Misting fans now available locally have become affordable.  With a 65 watt fan and a 35 watt misting motor, I'm quite happy with the cooling result. Only thing I didn't care about was the remote control feature.  Have to unplug it when not in use. Otherwise the power is always in standby for remote control use.

Songkran, love it or hate it, is approaching Those of us who love it will have to prepare to arm ourselves. I have found that most mass produced water pistols tend to quickly 'wear out'.. Best water weapon I found to be the garden sprayer. Big enough to fill with ice cubes for that special effect. After the party's over the sprayer is returned for garden use

April Showers in Sakon Nakhon        Hot season ends April 5, the rainy season begins.        That's the monthly forecast at accuweather.        At this stage it's probably a scientific guess.        Recently weather system was approaching from        the south-south east, rain and storms where headed this way.              Weather shifted:        a stronger system from the north turned the thermostat down        to "comfortable, no sky drippings."        Songkran Ahead
