House of Pain

Fatboy  Noticed Fatboy severely limping day before yesterday.  Don't know what happened, but he's been at the vet for the past two days.  Seems to be improving, but very slowly. Can't jump the steps into and out of the house.  I have to carry him.  Have to keep him in the yard next week when I spend overnight at the hospital, he won't be able to get up the two steps  Me  Have been having lower abdominal pains for months.  All sorts of tests, everything is normal except my stool. Having that camera up the caboose on Tuesday, check into the hospital on monday. Just came to realize that the pain is not stomach related.  Was doing a lot of sitting during the hospital tests.  The pain was severe.  When I stood up, the pain lessened significantly. Seems to be a muscle or nerve that gets compressed when I sit for any length of time.  Most likely the result of a too heavy massage.   Joey  Drunken accident has left him with some major permanent injuries.  Has already been declared 'handicapped.' Complains about a lot of pain, but does little to remedy the problem.  Most of the medication he is getting is useless.  He needs some serious pain medication and physical therapy

Chances are good for a Sakon Nakhon win this Saturday

Sakon Nakhon FC hosts Yasothon FC this Saturday. While Sakon Nakhon lost its season opener to Roiet 1-2, Yasothon faced Surin in a scoreless tie. First game scores are no indication who has the advantage, but I've watched a few minutes footage of the Yasothon game and am convinced this 'should be' a win.

The south will rise again

I'm talking weather here. When a cooler system from the north and a warmer system from the south converge on us.    You probably noticed a very windy period yesterday.  Saw a dust devil (not the vacuum cleaner) before the football game yesterday.  It only lasted one or two minutes.  I wasn't ready with my camera.  It looked a lot like this video During the game wind gusts created smaller dirt devils from dust raised by ballplayers. Wind gusts were quite strong and there were times when I thought those 'tents' were close to going airborne.  Expect occasional wind gusts in the 20 km (37m) range over the next few days.    Dry temperatures (low humidity) tend to get quite dusty.  Sediment in the swimming pool, dusty floors. Time to do a bit of regular house maintenance. Dust off the electronics under the refrigerator and freezer, clean aircon filters, any electronic devices. Dust inhibits heat dissipation, shortening the life of your devices.
