Bulk shopping


Just cut up 20 pounds sirloin into 20 portions.  Ziplocked them and put them in the freezer.
Do the same with chicken, fish and pork  to avoid having to shop frequently.

Another day of Sakon Nakhon Smiles


Game time was windy and cool, actually pleasant. 66 F with a chilly hefty breeze from the north.
I had spent the morning at the hospital outpatient clinic. An old 'industrial injury,' which had been dormant for a while, decided to revisit. From the neck through the shoulder blade agonizing and painful PAIN.  Got a shot in the rear and some relaxants. After a short nap I had to make the decision to go or not go. 
Obviously: I went.  A quick beer stop at Chilly Bar, a couple of beers at the ballgame, and the physical pains were less obvious as long as I moved carefully.
Sakon Nakhon FC hosted Muang Loi United :: A player collision early in the game, sent one man to the hospital. The game did seem a bit rough at times, the referee noticed and handed out half a dozen yellow cars. Even though the game ended in a tie, neither team scored, Sakon Nakhon FC seemed to have the upper hand in this game

Many Thailand Balconies are unsafe. Tourists be warned, especially if you had a few drinks

It's in the news quite often, especially during the tourism high season, someone falling off the hotel balcony.
It was again in recent news:  March 15,

Recently stayed at that hotel and used the third floor balcony to have a smoke. Looking out of the balcony was quite scary.  I did not have a measuring tape with me. The balcony wall reached well below my crotch.  I estimate the balcony wall height at 70 cm (2 feet, 4 inches).   
Of course I am a bit surprised that the hotel has not installed safety barriers or warns guests of the dangers.  Then again T.i.T. and nothing should surprise me.   
There are many such low balcony walls, I've experienced such low walls as high as the 17th floor in another building.  Tourists be warned, especially if you had a few drinks

Weather alert Saturday through Monday, thunderstorms and high winds likely.


Some People believe the curb in front of their house belongs to them exclusively 
Wonder if there will be more cancellations announced


Driving dangerously
