The Blah factor
It's old news now. I had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
The surgery was performed at one of the Khoen Kean University Hospitals.
I took my time recovering in the hospital, probably because every time I felt any pain I was given morphine into my intravenous tube. Preparation, tests, operation and post care lasted two weeks and cost US $4,000.
Recently went for a follow up visit. Drinking a can of latte before a blood pressure check was probably not appropriate, then having to wait for over three hours did drive up the anxiety factor. I was given three medications to reduce my blood pressure.
Amazing here is the fact that during three times a day blood pressure monitoring while I was hospitalized my blood pressure was always normal.
Now at home, taking the prescribed medication I felt somewhat BLAH. Too much time in front of the TV, no energy to do anything else.
Bought a test kit this morning which seems to confirm my suspicion:
Stop taking the medicine.
After a few days of monitoring I can probably decide the medicine is not needed, or I can limit myself to one medicine instead of three.
I'd say 93-54 is too low from a normal 120-80
2:30 pm Update: just spent half an hour scrubbing the pool room floor. BP=120-74

The festival seems to have a somewhat altered name:
Indochina Explorer Wax Castle Festival and Long-Boat Race
The festival coincides with the lunar calendar.
October 8 is the full moon day and Wan Awk Phansa (End Buddhist Rains Retreat).

Rainy Season
The approaching clouds were borne overnight in Laos and seem to still growing in size while moving in a southeasterly direction ↘
A thundershower likely early afternoon.
Thai Meteorological Department predicts decreased rain for Friday and Saturday (40%), then increasing to 60% with the start of the new week.
Sakon Nakhon was hit the hardest during recent storms which affected five provinces in Northeast Thailand

Local Google Map updated
It's been brought to my attention that local google satellite maps were recently updated.
As an example: The highway on which Apples restaurant is located was not indicated on maps until the update
How recent the map update occurred can be noted in the image below, where the 3 story shophouse building completed in November 2013 is visible across from apples, yet the newer built cowboy restaurant across the street is still an empty field
The cowboy themed restaurant was built early this year, indicating that the local map was probably updated late last year or no later than January this year.
