200531 My May timeline

Since I've shown friends how their phone is tracking them, many have turned off the feature.

I've left it on. For nearby shopping I don't bother taking my mobile phone for a ride.

Been following government 'recommendations' and stayed mostly at home.
To tell the truth, it was just too damn hot to be outdoors. Feels like I'm driving my motorcycle through an oven. 

Tracking also adds any photos I may have taken with my mobile.  Tracking does allow you to make modification or delete one or multiple items

200528 System still growing meanders slowly east, local rain should ease early evening


สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon

Advertised as air conditioners, arctic air, mist fans. Add water or ice, then consider it a swamp cooler.

Their effectiveness diminishes in high humidity. 
Alternatively hang a wet towel  or a bag of ice over your fan and you have similar results. 

🔴 Insure water does not drip on electrical motor compartment


Some of these coolers use up to 500 watts

Social distancing between mask and glasses to prevent fogging


How I do it now (left photo), insure that the wire is tight since the mask is much lower, You can see how much moisture is coming through the mask.

Ideally I would like to find a mask with an exhale vent
Seen some advertised 10 for $12.  Disposable would be better than trying to sanitize the valve

200430 Less rain forecast for 2020 rainy season

It's not the worst I've seen, but it's getting close



worst I've seen is when this pumping station runs dry.



Amazon at one of the hospital exits.  Maybe open in June or July of August

 

Guessing a tall building is coming there.

Driving through town I saw many shops open.  The most likely excuse, thos shops also are residences. Social distancing was even violated by law enforcement hiding in the shade with friends.
