190608 Mostly cloudy Saturday morning

Replacing a plastic porch roof which started to bang in the wind and leak like a siff.  On a cloudy Saturday Morning

what it used to look like, pieced together.

190607 Dengue: four to 10 day incubation period , symptoms two to seven days

 Dengue prime season is May through September
At this time there have been no major outbreaks reported in the Sakon Nakhon Area
There have been previous local outbreaks in 2010 + 2012
If you get it make sure you have friends look after you.

Fatigue: First time unknown years ago. Felt like a flu without the sniffles or cough
Persistent vomiting: Had that last year hospital outpatient treatment. Neighbor took me to the hospital emergency ramp

Citronella skin application requires occasional reapplication

Close all windows and doors when you hear the fogger motor

190606 Mid season tryouts: Looking for another football star

Mid season, 
with a four week break to the T4 League games, 

Sakon FC has announced three days of new player tryouts.

At last week's game, the replacement bench looked quite sparse

I'd suggest, if possible, replace the foreigner who was lost due to corruption (not related to football). Otherwise I would seriously look at former team players who have continued making  a living at football

190603 General consensus: Good game, questionable refereeing

Watched as the Surin Sugar coach complained a few times about the poor refereeing. He was all smiles when he faced my camera.

There were a number of rumblings in the crowd due to what seemed to be sloppy refereeing. 

One complaint I heard more than once was that the south linesman repeatedly was not where he should have been. 
Another observation was that a few Sugar players layed down feigning an injury.

The video is not much help as they occasionally zoom closer than half the field. The facebook resolution is poor. I prefer Youtube for resolution

I doubt I could make it today: 491 steps

I climbed the mountain stairs of the mountain to reach That Phu Phek (พระธาตุภูเพ็ก), about 32 kilometers of Sakon Nakhon city. Pictured first time in October 2002. Went to the top four times.  I doubt I could make it today at age 74

High humidity rainy season means little or no dust

Until last week I had to clean my pool almost daily to remove dust which had settled on the pool floor. 
Once a week is fine now, less visitors now that school has started.

190601 Slippery when wet: even outdoor tiles may cause falls

temperature/time/humidity

The severe weather alert by TMD over the recent three days seems overrated. 

Of course we had rain, but nothing I would consider heavy.

Overnight my weather gauge collected one inch (25.4mm) of rain.

  

Local TMD reported only 7.6mm

Rainy season temperatures give the air conditioner a rest.  I sit in front of the fan mainly to keep the mosquitos away

Sunday rain most likely before noon. Minimal chance (20%) of rain by 4pm game time
