I am laying on the sofa because I am too tired to attempt anything else. I was like this the day following my first AZ jag although not the second. I just phoned my daughter who also had her booster jag yesterday and she feels the same. I had viagra Pfizer all 3 times. Just a slight pain in the muscle where it was injected, if it goes like the previous injections it will be gone within a day or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like Chiang Mai in normal times. Seems like at 12 midnight the shutters slam tight and everyone is hunkered down tying to avoid the curse of The Werewolf. lol.... I love how she drags that Great Dane with her in the first scene when she goes off too bed. Edited December 29, 2021 by Glasseye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of weird, because the bars get mixed messages as to when they can open until, so now they just wait until the blue and red lights turn up.

The BIB have always been a bit like that in Patong .. seen them do that even in normal times , a friend who managed a bar suggested it was usually when donations where due to be discussed to show who is in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem a bit silly to me, but when did logic apply to what they do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall... way back in the day when I first visited LOS it was Phuket (one time for about 10 days, because after that I couldn't stand the place. But, that was over 20 years ago). I met an American bar owner on one of the side Soi's of Bangla. I was very green at the time, but I remember him explaining how his (er, his wife's) was able to stay open late and others closed up. He said he got to know an official (er, I can slightly recall something about the guy wore a brown shirt). He said he gave the guy a bottle of Johnnie Walker and an expensive pair of cowboy boots. He gave them to a guy at a big party and made the guy look real good. kiss kiss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maipenrai Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 8 hours ago, Glasseye said: That is fucking cold man. Got to watch it (as I'm sure you know). Our lungs aren't what they used to be at our age. You can actually freeze your lungs causing you to basically drown in your own blood. That's why I was so concerned when Covid hit, having high b.p. and not great lungs (also a smoker).... I thought "f**k me' I am not a very good candidate for surviving that shit. Actually, -20C isn't bad if it's not too windy and you are properly dressed and moving around - I just get cold on the machine because I am only moving my arms and head and the rest of my body gets stiff just sitting there. Now -40 is "fucking cold" and one doesn't want to be outside any longer than necessary. As for freezing your lungs, you'd have to be doing something really strenuous and gasping for air in temperatures of -40 or lower for this to happen - I worked for years outside in cold temperatures, including climbing tall steel towers, and never had any problem with this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I figured... you would know. I've worked outside in some cold assed weather myself. But nothing like what you have endured. It must take you a while to adjust when you go to LOS. Man... what a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a heated cab on the tractor - at these temperatures you get pretty cold and stiff after sitting on the machine for an hour or so and I generally won't go out on it if it is colder than -20C (-4F). Suggest an electric heated vest. Had one, along with heated gloves for early and late season riding when I lived in Wisconsin.
