Rain here yesterday in Minburi, like others have reported, same, temp goes down, feels great..until the humidity jumps again....then it feels miserable again. 

Tell me the truth gents, are there times here when you say to yourself "WTF am I doing here"? 

For me there are times like that.....can't wait to get back to Calif next month. 

I love the heat when I am on holiday I can then justify to my self to spend more time by the pool

Has it started to get any cooler in Pattaya ?

Yes definitely cooler but quite humid today after the rain 

Only day in about 3 weeks where I haven't spent most of the day by the pool 

Mommy = pommy 

A mate of mine down phuket way has just gone through this exercise the tesla sales people were rubbish took weeks to get back to him almost impossible to talk to tech people so he has gone with another co ( I think it was e solar ) and the sales lady got a fluent English speaking tech guy to  contact him and gave him good information and things he should plan for 

Plus their system is modular and more batteries just plug in you don't have the system down if you have to replace a unit like a battery and they have a 10 year warranty 

I just wonder how many of them survive last night I popped in to a bar I had noticed a few times ( quite a tasty wench at the door long story short I was the bars second customer in 10 hours ( 5 or 6 girls)

Just back from buakau market drenched in sweat the pool looks extremely inviting

Tell him to transfer a few hundred dollars into your account and once that has been done you will answer his question.

I did suggest a consultation fee and to make a appointment

Rock on mate !

 

And hold onto the thoughts of how you will one day pay the mother fcuker back.

I have had small payback he had to ring me here in Thailand to try pick my brain 

Can't talk to you now I'm busy by the pool 

Stop complaining the temperature is just right ( was in the 40s other day) just do lots of scientific pool temperature testing and just help the poor bar girls by rehydration at night

My last 5 months in Thailand have been the hottest I have ever experienced there. Even the period through New Year into January was way hotter than normal and the last month was real feel over 40 nearly every day!

Yes I know I have spent most days this week doing scientific tests on the hotel swimming pool temperatures

Yep.... Those days are over. I was able to give away a great deal of stuff, but you never know what will happen to it.

The return $ on 95 % of it is minimal. 

It's as much about time and release of emotional attachments. It's a process. Once you come to grips with it can be liberating. 

Yes I know the price of top quality tools are eye watering, I recall I paid something like $300 for a starrwhillie flogging spanner 99% wouldn't even know what it is used for

Sad in one way but good that you are passing it on to someone who has a use and will, hopefully, use and appreciate them.

It's why I have given $1000 s of tools away In the last couple of years you amass truck loads of stuff over 50 years rather see it used than dumped

Micrometers snap gauges calipers etc some had been given to me by my grandad and had usmc 1941 on them

Probably put him on an Interpol list, so each and every passport control desk which operates with the 196 Interpol countries will alert the operator to his presence (although any Aircraft / Passenger ship manifest would be pre screened for known names anyway). Depending on how much of a need there is to get him, the relevant resource will be assigned, from either coming across him by pure chance to actively seeking him out.

He's probably traveling on a false passport, or maybe even a legit one held by someone who looks like him.

Interestingly enough, I spotted Facial recognition Cameras in use on Beach Road during my trip, they were mobile as well.

How do you spot facial recognition cameras do they have some extra features

It's a rare night when I stop in and the vibe is off.

Last week there was a guy in there that started a killer pool game with a twist. Not only did he put up a good chunk of money for 1/2/3 in the amount of 1500/1000/500, he also set the rule if the lady wanted to be able to pot the black, she had to play the game naked. With the amount of money up for grabs I got to watch about a dozen naked ladies playing pool.

Well if you see me in there come say high I don't play pool
