Sakon FC first half 2017 season

Sakon FC posted on facebook that the first game is on the 11th.  I'm waiting to confirm the correct date for the first game. The information below is from Thai League 4

My favorite part is the broth

Good service, good food, made for a pleasant evening
Birthday dinner at a hotpot restaurant
It's directly across the street from Lil' Pimp
It's a restaurant and takeout.
Plenty of choices

OH Shit, let's talk Shit

Barium intestine (colon)  exam at the hospital tuesday morning. Trying to determine what is causing repeated pains at certain times.   
Exam price 2,300 baht. Close to three month waiting period. 
Last night I took the first dose of castor oil.  Another dose is due this evening.  Was up a few times during the night for a toilet visit.
The worst of this experience so far: This morning the toilet seems to signaling that the sump is full.  Gotta call the 'honeywagon.'   Lucky I have an alternate toilet in the meantime

Sakon Nakhon FC to host Roi Et in 2017 Season Opener

In a facebook post dated January 26, Sakon Nakhon Football Club announced that team jerseys will be available as of February 1 at the team shop.  The team shop is located above the lath shop, across the street from the Raksakon Hospital.  Jerseys can also be purchased at gametime.
Price 400 baht

The article further elaborates that the 2017 Season opener will be held here in Sakon Nakhon at the sport center located on airport road on 11 February
Sakon Nakhon hosts Roi Et United.  Game starts at 4 pm.
No seasonal team schedule has been posted  publicly to date
As the 11th of February is also a buddhist holiday, Makha Bucha Day, one can presume that no beer will be sold on the premises. From past practice, one can further presume that you are allowed to "bring your own."

Prepare now hot season ahead

Sakon Nakhon 'Valley' is in the eye of a meeting of cooler temperatures from the north and warm temperatures from the south. Eventually, probably Friday, warmer weather will prevail.
Time to prepare the pool area for the inevitable hot season ahead.
I'll be spending some time with my new toy washing the walkways and exterior house walls.
Most of the north walkway is tiled (non-slip). Got tired of moss growing on the exposed cement. It also serves as the pool shower area

The east walkway is protected from the sun.  Some more shade plants are still needed. Much of the wind arrives from the east, the shade screen also limits the dust
On the other side of the screen there's an indication it's time to make lime juice.  I always add a bit of vodka as a preservative
