Extended use of mobile devices
I replaced it with a 3000mAh power pack which has three USB ports, a flashlight and a digital readout of the capacity percentage.
I use the power bank most often on my $10 boom box which I hook to my motorcycle.
Power outages are quite frequent during the rainy season. The power bank extents the use of various USB devices from mobile phone, portable wifi, headsets and fans

That sinking feeling
I was totally surprised by such a drastic lineup change for the Surin game. The 3-0 loss knocked the team to 7th place. I suspect the downward trend will continue today.
A Surin City win today will drop the team to 8th place.
What happens during the final season game, a home game with Loei, is anyone's guess. Unlikely but possibly Sakon FC could end in 9th place

190821 Sakon FC 5 Mashare Chaiyaphum 2
A bit of silliness before the game was a pleasant change from the formal ceremony.
Then of course the high scoring translated to a exuberant crowd.
Heavy tropical rains and three inches of water on the ground in some places,
did not prematurely stop this game

The economy is going South
Downturn in the economy really became apparent last year.
The decline of Mass Chinese Tourism had a ripple effect on other businesses.
A major boat accident last year had little to do with the sudden downturn, it was not the main cause. The tradewar, most likely caused major unemployment in China. The Baht continues to gain over many foreign currencies
Recent headlines in the financial world all scream "worldwide recession."
Tourism money will become a low priority household expense unless you are rich.

Rainy Season Power outages likely
TM 30.
Not all immigration offices seem to be aware of recent changes and are still using previous procedures.
What is certain is that you should have the 90 day report (TM47) and address report (TM 30) verifications stapled to your passport. I have yet to see a deadline date for TM30 to be completed.
Power outage
Still very common during the rainy season. Had one in my area two days ago. Apparently it only affected this area. Looked at the sky toward Big C and the whole area was well lit.
I have rechargeable flashlights in each room. Was able to boot up my laptop and portable WIFI and resume watching the movie within minutes.
USB fan kept me cool till power returned over an hour later.
Important here is to keep all battery devices charged

Counting Goals
The chart is from Thai League. It and other charts are continuously updated.
Here I shuffled the list of Sakon Nakhon FC players to show the number of goals they've made.
Sall Tafsir and Yoshida Sohei stand out. Sall has participated in four games and achieved 3 goals. Yoshida has participated in five games and achieved three goals.
Of course they've had help from fellow players, it's a team effort.
Unfortunately there are only four games left in the season, not enough to propel the team standings past the halfway point. The final game should be especially thrilling when Sakon Nakhon hosts Loei United.

190811 The professionalism was impressive
Moments after the Sakon Football halftime whistle blew an officer appeared to be ready to collapse when two officers came to his aid. The apparently ill officer was foaming from the mouth.
He was rushed to a gurney and attended to by medics and rescue personnel.
The ambulance was underway in less than three minutes from the moment the officer was assisted off the field
