No serious drought this year! Seriously

If you're in the mood to reminiscence the flood of 2017, check out some of the recent uploads by sakonguide. There's also some videoes dating back to the year 2559.



Today, the second Saturday of the month, is Children day in Thailand, and of course the second day of the Red Cross Fair.    
Attendance to these events for me it's still a maybe or maybe not. I'll probably take a hot pad on my chest and rest some more.

Took a short cruise on my motorcycle last evening, just to get out of the house.  Discovered real quick to keep the chill off my chest. I am starting to get accustomed to the cooler temperatures. Things should warm up a bit by midweek.

Let the sun shine in

Been fighting a nasty throat infection, which more recently expanded into my chest. Antibiotics no longer work their magic for me, so I have had to ride it out with some anti inflammation  medication.  
Lots of bedrest, tv, movies and a bit of reminiscence through my photo albums

January 2011

Cold, colder, coldest.  May be today or tomorrow, depends which weather service you are following. Today real feel  high 76, real feel overnight 49. Continued chilly through Sunday. 
 
Red Cross fair starts today. If I feel energized enough I may visit the fair mid afternoon. For the moment health concerns may limit my travels.

Fourteen days since my last cigarette

It was not as bad as expected.  I did not bite anyone's head off. Gained 3 kilo (x2.2 = 6.6 lb).  I'm not considering any diet, no weight reduction. But I will consider more healthy snacks. 
There is still an argument whether chocolate is a fruit or vegetable.  Either way it remains on my healthy diet list.

Sakon Nakhon Red Cross Fair 2018

Admittance during the afternoon hours has been free over the past 15 Red Cross Fairs I have attended. It's generally a time when school age kids visit the fair.  Admittance is charged beginning around 5 pm.  
There's always plenty to see and do from art to gardening, agriculture, dining, motorcycles, cars, furniture, pets, concerts, and a lot more.   
 


 
 


 
Of course one of my favorites has always been the (air) rifle range
  
A favorite of mine, bumper cars, disappeared from the fair many years ago
 
They placed a table for me next to the ride where I could sit down and drink a beer.  That's because I bought books of tickets and gave away free tickets

It's the tenth Red Cross fair here in Sakon Nakhon, since alcohol was banned with one exception

Pool Weather Weekend

Feels like temperatures may reach up to 38C between now and Monday.  Might be a good time to wash those blankets which you will be needing again by Tuesday.  Night time lows may dip into the lower teens.
