Not a selfie but a photo of myself this morning at our Hospice. I was just about to take the trolley to the ward to serve dinner and we have 3 patients with the virus. We only have a half dozen  patients left in the hospice now and the plan is to find placements for them and to temporarily mothball the hospice. The idea is that the expertise of our nurses and carers in end of life care can be better utilised in the community and at the Dragons Heart field hospital set up at the Millennium stadium. All the kitchen staff and housekeeping staff will be seconded to work at the field hospital which is opening its doors next Tuesday.

The area you are working in to protect yourself,  you should really be using better IPE at minimum a N95 rated face mask a face shield and disposable gloves.

Best wishes to you that you stay safe you are doing a job many would not.

I went to Macro yesterday to do a big shop of non perishables ( just to be on the safe side ) protein and carbs.

I had a look at the cider.

Looks like Macro is emptying the cooler of the stock of many items many on sale at knockdown prices I purchased some nice AU beef at a good price.

The situation on 16 March 2020 at 8.00 a.m. 1. There are currently 108 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) being actively treated in hospitals, 38 cases have recovered and have been sent home, and there has been one death, which brings the total number of COVID-19 cases detected in Thailand thus far to 147. 2. From 3 January to 16 March 2020 at 11.00 A.M., the total number of patients under investigation (PUI) was 6,545 people. Of those, 276 PUI were detected from screening at ports of entry, and 6,269 people sought medical services on their own at hospitals. 4,312 cases have recovered and returned home, but a few of these cases have been sent home and are being continually monitored. Most of the PUI were infected with seasonal influenza, and 2,233 PUI are still being admitted to hospitals for further testing. 3. As of 7:00 a.m. on 16 March 2020, since 5 January 2020 the international situation involves 154 countries, two special administrative regions of China, and cruise ships, there were 167,543 confirmed cases and 6,455 deaths. 80,849 of these confirmed cases and 3,199 of these deaths are from the People's Republic of China. 2. The Ministry of Public Health reported one COVID-19 confirmed case recovered and was discharged from the hospital and there are 33 additional confirmed cases

The situation Really I would have started with "The Stated Situation ".

hoping for oyur update on this.  in an attempt to noce to be nice, i have been renovating 3 swimming pools.  and pumped water from one to another.  didnt save much in the way money i think as the pump was running 24 hrs, but will only have refilled 2 pools with a truck.  am amazed at how much is evaporating already in the sun even tho the hot season hasnt started yet, and no they arent leaking 🙂

as to local wells, bore holes.  ours is still holding out so the water table is still good up here above the lake.  but for how long we dont know

Time to get my ass in gear I have purchased a water tank and am going to place it on top of my pool pump house however I was concerned about the load bearing roof being able to support it its 2,000lts so I am going to place 4 acro jacks under the roof concrete  slabs I have them however need to paint them first I think I will do it today.

I am also taking this opportunity to empty my swimming pool and re grout it and change the design a little.

There is no government water available where I live so I have a bore hole and a good size under ground holding tank.

I will do some calculation's  on water holding (both tanks) and usage my pool is a fair size so not topping it up will help with usage.

If the shit hits the fan I am planning on using one and topping it up from a truck keeping one as a last stand back up in case the trucks dry up then its down to shovel  shits, installing a piss pipe in the ground ( not used one since 2003 and now being retired did not think I ever would again Ha Ha. And rationed bottle water ( I have a large stock) I may buy more.

I have a friend who lives in a condo in Pattaya who has purchased a massive amount of 15lt containers he has made a wall against a wall in his condo with it.

Having seen the photos I now realise its time to get a grip and sort it out.

Time for the bi-weekly update of the shrinking Mabprachan Reservoir. As before, for reference purposes a screenshot of where the pics were taken.

Water Edge as of 23 Feb, 2020

Pic 01: Quite a few more tree stumps exposed.

Pic 02

Only a small gap now in the land bridge.

Pic 03: Estimate another 1/2m drop in the water level. Probably the last time I can use this spot as a water level gauge since it looks like in another week there'll be dry land around the structure.

Water Edge as of 23 Feb, 2020

Pic 04: Innovative use of a boat's pontoon for a bridge.

Pic 05: Pumps moving water from the main body to the channel leading to the pumping station.

Pic 06: Thai's manning the pumps were quite helpful directing me under the outflow pipes to make my way across the land bridge.

Pic 07

Pic 08: The gap in the land bridge looks a bit too deep to cross.

Pic 18: And indeed it was too deep. When I was on the other side of the reservoir noticed a couple of guys crossing the gap. Both were in over their heads and had to swim to the other side.

Pic 09: With most of the reservoir dried up decided to take a shortcut across what was previously lake bottom to the pumping station. Looking back towards the pumps. Area to the right is the wide mouth to the channel leading to the pumping station.

Noticed another group on mtn bikes making their way across the land bridge.

Pic 10: Two weeks ago they had an earth retaining wall around the pumping station and were pumping water from the channel into the small pond it contained. They must have dug the channel deeper as now the pumps are gone and the retaining wall is open on both ends.

It was a mistake trying to cross the narrow bit in the above pic. Took a tentative step into the wet area and immediately sunk to mid-calf. Decided I might as well continue on and fortunately I didn't sink any deeper.

Pic 11: Nice of them to leave the pumping station gate unlocked again for me.

Pic 12: Looks like these guys have started a fish farm. Doesn't look like much change in the water level in this area from two weeks ago. Maybe looking at the top of the water table, in which case as long as they don't bring pumps in, they should continue to have water for their fish.

Pic 14

Pic 15

Pic 20

Pic 21: The pump house in the above pic is now drawing its water from a pipe that extends a long way out to the main body of water. They might be thinking of holding the pond in reserve for when the reservoir runs dry. As mentioned in a prior post, this water is being used for the tourist trap, Flower Land. Seems to me to be a pretty selfish use of a public use/need commodity that is fast becoming scarce.

Pic 22: A stark reminder of just how much the water level has dropped.

I have 2 TCL 50in smart tv in 2 of my condos 1 lost the sound after 2 years I contacted them they arranged collection it was sent to BKK and returned to my door working again all at no cost to me.

I pass 5 car wash on taking my son to school 5 days a week and all are still operating.

I am not suggesting that the government shut them down ( it the guys living ).

But if I run one I would be very concerned.

no shit sherlock.  this has been the hidden story for months.  the feeders to the lakes here are dry too.  

 

rationing within a month or so,  water on alternate days.  checks on people with pumps on the supply side of their tanks and bowsers making a fortune.  by april/may we will will be sooo deep in the shit .  i honestly see 2020 as the worst water shortage the city has ever seen.  and no where to get more from.  

 

as to using kitchen and shower and machine water for the garden.  I am installing tanks to take it and will be doing exactly that.   easy to do, and wortyh the effort.

 

 

When I was serving in Cyprus I visited a guys house and he had all three plumbed in to water his garden.

He told me best to use bio friendly soap.

Got halfway through it and passed out for the night. Bloody sad to see the state Ronnie’s body is in, he’s barely 50. But with the massive amount of drugs he took....many have died in their 30’s following such a regimen, at least he’s alive. The heavy lifting that gave him those big muscles also took a toll on his joints, unfortunately. I was actually surprised to hear that some guys have built huge physiques keeping reps between 15-20, but it’s all how your body responds
 

The question I’ve always asked myself - how was he still a police officer at his peak size in early 2000’s? He’s not the only cop who ever juiced, but in his case it’s so obvious he was on drugs, you would think the department would have distanced themselves and let him go. Seems like it would have been a lawsuit waiting to happen. Plus carrying all that bulk, couldn’t have been easy to perform his duties

I suspect he had no difficulty ( putting the cuffs on a perp ) 55555.

 a few years ago we went to a bbq out onthelake, as in the middle. people could walk across it too.  the other pattaya ressies are the same too.  bear in mind that mapbrachan is fed from river thru 100 kms of pipe, but those rivers are more or less dry too.  there will for sure be a drought next dry season, no chance of anything else.  

 

living close by our water comes from bore holes but that doesnt make it so much better as the water table is already low

I also have  a bore hole water supply its never failed to supply water however I am considering installing a large water tank as a backup.

I live in a house in Soi K9 Huay Yai and there is no government water line here.
