Life in the Isaan Boonies.
Snaps in the boonies here. It's Sunday the 5th of January 2025. No rain for 95 days. A little chilly in the mornings but warm sun about 10ish. Number 4 market yesterday. I was all set to go, but wifeee starting to yak, yak me over something, so i thought I'd give it a miss. Mildred went along with her mum though, and bought two long-fin kois. Mildred let them go into number seven pond later that day. We had a surprise visit from a lady in a pick-up on Friday. She had 30 sawai in a concrete mixer in the back. Wanted 800 baht for them, Handed over the dosh and rescued the fish just in time. Got two big containers ready and half-filled them with water. Took them to the farm straight away. Stopped at Kun's place first and gave him a couple for his small pond. Put 4 into number 1 & 2, and put the rest into number 6. Think we got them into the water just in time. They are a sturdy fish though. They seemed happy enough and soon swam away. Been wearing my new hat. Mildred says it makes me look younger. Must remember to take it next time in Ban Dung. I reckon Ting the hat lady would like it. The lights have now had a full day's charge. Word is that they come on at 6pm and stay on til about 5ish in the morning. That's not bad at all. Fixed up the last of the four on Thursday. Do I look suave in that hat? Or what? Ducks are doing fine. They head straight for the water melon when I put the food out. Then the chopped chicken. Then the rice. And what is left just gets scattered all over the place. Hope to have their house on the lake done this month. Calamity with the Mazza. A few years back I went to a garage to sort the lights, because they were not as stable as they should have been. The technician said the sticky tape would outlive the pick-up. What nonsense that was. Nearside light the same. Anyway. I did a permanent fix with some silver metal tape. And we were good to go. Can't trust that sticky tape over here. Not like the Selotape back in England in the 1950s Connected up the solar panels for system 4. This afternoon me and Mildred wired up the Deep Well Pump. I've already done the other safety wire. So it's next Saturday or Sunday for the launch. +++++ Luke the Nuke did it. 7 sets to 3. Was pretty easy for him. He was fabulous in the final against MvG. The half million squids will come in handy too I reckon. 200k for the runner up. Orient still on the march up the league. That's five wins on the trot. Someone has died this evening. Mrs Snaps and Mildred have gone to the house to help with this and that. Only one thing left to say; take care out there people. +++++ Mildred's latest painting. www.mildredart.com -

An uneducated proletariat is a compliant proletariat. Can’t have the younger generations getting fancy thoughts. Look what happened last time, when Pita and his mates mounted a challenge to the existing order. Granted he was educated in NZ and the U.S. But we can’t have these pesky types sticking their nose in. And we certainly can’t complement the idea by constructing a robust education system at home.- 1

You learn something every day. Pink punk mohawks and hair down to your ass in the military. Who would have thunk it. btw, we are talking about Thailand here, not the gender confused West. -

They don't. In the militaries of Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Canada and Japan, men can have any length hair they like. As they do in all other NATO Forces, including the US, Germany and the UK, in certain units. They all also allow facial hair. Do get your facts right before you hit the keyboard.- 2

Why do soldiers all have the same haircut? Thailand suffers from military overreach so it flows through society. Looks at the school heads - dressed like the military.
