190430 time to replace the plastic with something more durable

It was about 2008 when I raised the front wall and put up a plastic roof over the front porch.
It was a privacy issue since they had built a 16 unit apartment building across the street in the previous year.  

Late last year the roof sprung a few minor leaks.
It was time to replace the plastic with something more durable

 190429  Toward the end of the game temperatures dropped scores rose quickly

Temperatures felt like over 45 C (Over 113 F). I was feeling quite uncomfortable and questioned myself why I am out here for a football game in this heat.  

Players had a 'heat time out' once in the first and again in the second half. 
One time out was needed for the referee who needed a few moments to regain his composure.

Sakon players started off aggressive and a few players received yellow cards. After a Sakon player received a second yellow and subsequently a red card Udon had the upper hand and added three scores in rapid succession. Fourth goal at 3:03, fifth goal at 3:05, sixth goal at 3:08.

The most impressive performance of the day was by Udon player number nine

Midway though the second half dark clouds in the distance quickly dropped the thermometer down to quite cool temperatures

Kham Hom Waterfall : Phu Phan National Park


The waterfalls frequently run dry during drought seasons especially. On weekdays and holidays it's an inexpensive place for family day trips. There are a few food vendors. I had jumbo shrimp with my Chang.
Parking was being directed by gentlemen in uniform

Trash receptacles are available in areas where food and drink are allowed.

Most of the pools are shallow, ideal for smaller children




A more serene atmosphere during school and work weeks. Flip flops are not ideally suited if you decide to walk the waterfall trail
