Considering past history and present team standings, the game this coming Sunday should be very winnable.  Sakon FC won both previous encounters with Loi City, 2-1 in a home game,  2-0 in front of Loi City fans





The final game with Buriram B is going to be intense.  BB is a new team this season.  Early in the season Sakon FC beat  BB on their own turf.
A home game mid season was a loss for Sakon Nakhon. Buriram B is a typical example of what teams can do when they have the bucks

Seven day weather outlook



As there are no major weather systems heading our way.  No alerts required, I'll limit weather reports to weekly. 
Daily occasional rain showers, scattered, here and there. Mostly light, occasional heavy rains. 
Overnight feels like temperatures mid twenties, then climbing to upper twenties. 
Daytime high feels like high temperature climbing to a high on Saturday and Sunday.  Feels like cools a bit Monday.

Scenery on a budget


Have to buy some more foam.  Holding off till the additional tracks arrive.   
The stack of tape gave me an idea for the bridge supports.  The foam bridge will be replaced, for now it's for design. 
Also collecting cardboard to print out buildings.  Tried my hand with a toothpick fence.  Think I'll consult a local bamboo weaver. Also experimenting with paints and cements.
The scouring pad green is a bit too dark, I'll need a brighter green 


Someone's got to the office earlier this morning

 Recent daily weather alert updates by TMD had been issued at 11 am.  Today's update was  issued at 5 am. 
The alert is quite general "...  isolated heavy rain. There remains heavy rain much of the Northeast."   
What was a tropical storm (Pakhar) yesterday is now recognized as a mere "active low pressure cell."   
Heavy rain is still in the forecast for Tuesday.  If the recent pattern is any indication, much of that rain will move north and south of the city (hoping). A pattern I've seen frequently over the years.   
One has to keep in mind: water north of the city drains southward

No aircon needed type of an evening


Some clouds some clear sky overnight. A twenty minute tropical downpour early in the evening. After that just thunder in the distance.  Cool enough to turn off the aircon, and even a slight chill in front of two  fans.
This evening most of the heavy weather seems to be moving north and south of us. At least early to mid evening
