Connection problem solved

 Received this notice from a website I use daily.  

At first thought it was a website problem. 

Only had this notice on one of two computers.

Ran a virus program, no help.  Internet searches did not help much either.

Then I decided to save my bookmarks and other pertinent browser details. Uninstalled Chrome completely and reinstalled Chrome. 
Problem solved.  Appears an undetectable addon may have been in the browser.  Have to uninstall and reinstall other browsers on that computer

I've heard some whimpering about cool temperatures,
whimper some more

Even though weather services can't agree on a temperature, daytime temperatures are going to be cooling over the weekend

The cooling temperatures are a bit more obvious during overnight lows

32 celsius = 89.6 fahrenheit
12 celsius = 53.6 fahrenheit

For Thai Time, add or subtract accordingly, mostly add

Thailand National Children's Day
Chilly temperatures next weekend. Nighttime lows possibly 11 - 15.
Till then: what you see is what you get
 Best translation I came up with is
"The Stompers.
"
They've certainly kept their fans happy  with their first two games. 

Of course the game started 'Thai Time.'
Planned start time 6:30.  Actual start time 8:50.  

Not a problem since the two games before were riveting.

Stocking up the freezer

Went to the Thai French butcher here in town and spent 1,200 Baht on a side of sirloin. Sliced it into eight servings of 450 grams each. 
After a bit or marinating, they're ready for the freezer
