  1. I'm thinking more along the lines of keeping those brown envelopes full.
  2. Thunderstorm with heavy rain now moving through central Pattaya area.
  3. Done and dusted as you've probably already noticed.
  4. I don't understand why they had to dig up the north end of the Beach Rd footpath. The footpath was in no worse condition than the rest of Beach Rd and the curb certainly didn't need replacing.
  5. The Club K doors were open this morning so snuck in for a couple of pics of the inside.
  6. Scooped by 15 minutes because I took the time to go out and take a pic.
  7. Two posts above yours, picture @john luke took of one of the Milk greeters. Photos of the ladies on Milk's FB page (link).
  8. Beautiful, red sky sunrise this morning as I walked the dogs. Guess if I were a sailor I might see it differently.
  9. Done it a couple of times without ringing the bell. Just told the service staff I would buy them all a round of drinks, and not to ring the bell. I'm just not the type that wants the attention a bell ring brings to oneself.
  10. Incident happened four years ago. Very impressed how the student, on her first solo, and instructor handled the situation. Stuff of nightmares to hear the tower call you on your first solo telling you "Your right main is now missing from the airplane. It's fallen off the airplane."
  11. Bangkok Paradise Bar on 3rd Rd that opened in July didn't last long. Now owned by the Babylon group and has been renamed Babylon Paradise Lounge. Running the same promo on beer as their Babylon Club on Soi Bong Koch. Babylon is also hosting a Devil and Angel party with Malibu Club this Wednesday.
  12. Having a good laugh. I was sitting at my computer working on code when I caught motion out of the corner of my eye in the CCTV feed of our front gate. A puppy of about seven months old we took in off the street and into or home about a month ago had pulled the gate door open with his paw to let himself out. My lady was sitting in her garden oblivious to the puppy's great escape. I admire the dog's cleverness and ability to teach itself something my other two dogs have never been able to figure out how to do.
  13. Rumor had it Warehouse closed due to lack of a fire escape in the back. While that's true, and I'd hate to be caught on the upper floors seeing how far I'd have to jump to escape a fire, there doesn't appear to be any construction activity to indicate they're working on adding a fire escape. Across from Mayfairs on Buakhao a new bar is replacing what used to be Findig. Happy about that as I was kind of worried there weren't enough bars already. Same with weed shops. Can never have too many, right. New one on Soi Honey. Do like their clever names.
  14. At a guess I'd say the person or committee that put the text together has grown up with the idea that only thumbs are needed to type on a keyboard. Seems they've become so used to using abbreviations and skipping punctuation they've forgotten to how to use it in a professional setting. I know that was the case with my son when he started working for me. I was wondering where the spelling mistake was until I read this quote "Random capitalisation, American spelling and mistakes…".
  15. Appreciate it that you throw and easy one our way every once in awhile.
  16. Well done on the sale of the house. I hear you on all the points you made about selling to the home buying outfit as they were the same points that factored into my decision to sell below market to the tenant who had been renting my home. It's also nice to see the home's equity converted into a bump in the bank account balance. Good luck to you in your new location and hope to catch up with you when you make it to Pattaya.
  17. For those that might believe cryptocurrency is a good means to store wealth... In less than a week, Sam Bankman-Fried’s $16 billion fortune evaporated Sam Bankman-Fried woke up on Monday still a billionaire, even as his cryptocurrency empire was beginning to unravel. By Friday, his fortune was completely wiped out. Based on net worth calculations by Bloomberg, Bankman-Fried was worth about $16 billion at the start of the week. But as his crypto exchange, FTX, collapsed, the value of his assets was reduced to zero in what Bloomberg called “one of history’s greatest-ever destructions of wealth.” ...
  18. My bike has a mirror which I'm constantly checking. Not saying I would see a piece of rebar ready to take my head off, but I would probably see the crazy Thai coming up on my 6 and give him a wide berth if I thought he was going to pass too close.
