Will27 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 My idiot mate just emailed me to tell me the Aussie dollar is crashing and burning against the baht. Nothing worse than bad news you already know. Not quite crashing and burning mate. The Oz dollar has been hovering around 27 THB for about 3 weeks now. Not as good as 30 THB about 2 months ago but a lot better than the 22 THB 18 months ago. Regards Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Agreed Will, agreed, I just felt left out because everyone was having bad days except me. I don't suppose you'd have many sitting out the back enjoying your view with a cold one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubby Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 And on a similar theme. We can be short of a few things here, like Luck & maybe Currency, but we're never short of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Yeah well, I've had all the John Denver I want this week. Jub, did you know the three little squares at the right hand end of the tool bar when you're posting is for Youtube links? You get a little screen embedded in the post.

kandahar Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I knew a guy once. (This should be the name of a thread, too.) He was married and had been for a long time. He trusted his wife. She trusted him. One night, while both were asleep, she was dreaming and cried out loud, "Oh MY GOD!! It's my husband!" Before the guy could think, he had grabbed his pants and dived out the window. The trust was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be there. Or be square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Not sure if this goes in good day or bad day. We got a lot of much needed rain last night, but as it was still raining hard this morning, I had to postpone my motorbike ride to Chiang Mai. Perhaps tomorrow.

sceadugenga Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 So what was all this wet weather gear for if it little rain is going to keep you home anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 It is one thing to start of dry and drive through an occasional shower. It is another thing to start off in a torrential downpour with no end in sight. Especially on a motorcycle driving through the mountains. Then again maybe I'm just a pussy and like my comfort.

PhilB Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hey VF rain is just liquid sunshine. I know the rain is good for all farmers but it is killin my knee. The rainy season is not good to me. I guess my price to live in paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgriffith Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Riding in rain is not that big a deal with proper gear, but the minor discomfort factor is way outweighed by the danger factor. Greatly diminished traction, oncoming drivers with fogged-up windshields, downed tree branches in the middle of corners, etc. Sounds prudent to wait a day or 2, VF. We'll probably pass each other on the road- I fancy a visit to CR sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to drive much slower in the rain and the bikes were filthy by the time we got to the dealer's shop. Wearing mesh and microfiber, everything ran down into my lap. Upper body dried off in the wind but I felt like I was sitting in a puddle part of the way. We only got hit by one brief cloudburst on the way back, nothing like the ride over in the morning.

villagefarang Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Unless we get a lot of rain soon, we will not have these views from our yard, this year. Not enough water for many of the fields out in the middle of this area and no water in the dam. In other words, a bad year for the local farmers.

The pond is roughly one rai, but other than the fish, Cookie (dog) is the only one who swims in it regularly. The 'canoe' in an antique that barely floats on dry land. The only fitness to be derived from it would be by trying to lift one end. The pond, does on occasion, provide dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandahar Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 It has been a good few last days. Got the steel roof installed on the wife's new "external kitchen". We all have two kitchens. don't we? Thanks to a decent neighbor, who has been pretty good help. Sometimes, it just takes a helping hand to get us motivated. Unfortunately, now that the roof is on, there is a whole slew of projects that involve getting the new kitchen laid out and set up "just right". Ha! I'll never get caught up. Counters, sinks, plumbing, wiring, shelving, doors, windows........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
