Popular Post thegrogmonster Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 (edited) Wishing I was single. The missus is paranoid about security and keeps the door locked for the room we are staying at in her mum's place. Both keys for the lock are on the same keyring and what does she do but lock the keys in the room. The niece's husband and myself have spent the last hour unbolting the security grill on the external window. We just got it open enough so he could slide through and open the door. The missus made the mistake of thinking it was funny. I don't think she realised how pissed off I was. All good now until the next misadventure occurs.

Only took one time for me to be locked out to decide having a spare key hidden outside was a good idea. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post forcebwithu Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 About a year ago a neighbor replaced their aging 1000 L water tank and offered it to us for free. I agreed to take it off their hands as it would double the capacity of our rainwater collection system for my lady's garden. So after a year of procrastinating I finally got around to hooking it up to the existing system. Over the last two days I reworked the plumbing, added a new, stronger booster pump, and added an additional water faucet outside our security wall so she could more easily water her plants along the soi. With everything finally hooked up the moment of truth finally arrived to test out the system. I opened the valves, primed and turn on the pump and was heartened to hear water gurgling through the pipes and out the open faucets. Only issue I noticed right away was I had put a gasket on the pump on backwards so it was leaking at the point. That was an easy fix. Not so easy was the leak my lady pointed out a few minutes later. She pointed out the drip, drip, drip of water leaking out the bottom of the inlet port on the inherited tank. A reminder you get what you paid for. I'm thinking that's going to be bastard to try and fix as the bottom half of the inlet port has slightly separated from from the tank. Best I can do is try to plastic weld the broken seam. Now on order from Lazada are HDPE plastic strips I'll need for the repair. I already have the heat gun, so in a few days we'll find out just how good my welding skills are. Here's pics of the entire system. The business end is tank no. 1 that collects the runoff from a downspout. A good downpour will easily fill half the tank before the storm moves on. Water from tank no. 1 is gravity fed to the inherited, tank no. 2. Still on my to do list is to raise tank no. 1 up about 20 cm so the top of each tank is about equal in height. That way when tank no. 1 is full, tank no. 2 will also be full. BTW, the original plan was to position tank on. 2 at the back of the house next to tank no. 1. Unfortunately when the tank was dropped off I discovered it wouldn't fit through the opening to the back of the house, so the front of the house is where it ended up. Rather than have an unsightly big blue tank outside my front door, I wrapped it in green netting to reduce slightly the unsightly factor. The final piece to the watering system is a 450W booster pump that's connected via a T joint to the line to both tanks. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Krapow Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 I've turned into a Leicester City fan. The owner of Leicester City, who is also the owner of King Power, and this hotel, after his father died in the horrific helicopter crash, Is coming to the hotel bar area to cheer on the team at 7.30pm Thai time. Loads of security, as you can imagine, but I've been told they will try to fit me in at the back if it's possible. I think told them I was a personal friend of @Derek Dangleberries and @john luke, and they took a sharp intake of breath, mumbled something about Leeds scum, and nearly had be arrested. Suffice to say my invite was rescinded due to top of the table drama. Can't help but think their 'Road back to the Premiership' slogans might be a tad premature. But anyway, i expect to see some pretty heavy security about the hotel lobby tonight. C'mon the Siamese Foxes! 4 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yessongs Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 Heading out to downtown Bkk in a few hours, will spend the next 2 nights in a hotel. Going to see Bruno Mars concert tomorrow night at Rajmangala Stadium...man I hope he makes it. It is hot here with temps in the 90's and humidity high. He comes on at 8:00pm. Glad to support him I guess, this way maybe perhaps he can pay back the $50 Million gambling debt he owes MGM Grand LOL! Saw him on TV here the other night, he arrived here Thurs morning in his private jet. Luckily there are no casinos here huh? Anyone want to place a "bet" that after his shows in Singapore, he makes a stop in Macau? Went to the Car Show at Impact yesterday....some nice looking gals there. The "MG" gal was nice. She was cool, after her "poses" she came over to me. She asked me if I was having a good time? I told her of course. Tells me this is the first time she has ever done this and is having a good time. Her name is "Panwadee" Really attractive in my opinion. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
