We have a new part time house keeper and a very good one at this juncture. Yesterday she was washing our windows. Today she is across the street installing them in a new house being built.

Ray, I guess it would be cold with no windows.
You're right though. I actually had to put trousers on today, but GF was walking round with a fleece jacket on.

And that was just in the living room, eh Ray?!The other thing that surprised me today 75 degrees F and i was freezing, found the levis, boots leather coat. That used to be a very comfortable temp.

Oh come on now you guys must see unusual things around you as well, like the near naked lady boy wondering around the field by the Lotus bus station yesterday cell phone to welded to it's ear.
Theres always soemthing if you just slow down a bit and look.
The other day the lady at our noodle shop who organised the trip to Ban Chaing gave me a gift for going to a free event, that I had a wonderful time at. Now mind you this was from her, not TAT. This is a very different place and a lot of the difference is for the better.

OK I'll try one more time;
Yesterday after the ATM mess I'm on my way home, I hear a wierd noise coming from the front end of the bike. So I'm thinking maybe the front end bearings need grease, This is not rocket science so I stop at the little shop just outside the village. The mechanic and I are talking about the problem when all of sudden the weld for the kick stand decides to break. And down goes this huge motorcycle, fortunately no one or nothing hurt. But now we know we have a clear cut problem.
So we launch into the repairs, the wife is just shot form the day we had, so she walks a few blocks home and I hang out for the bike.
First three Thia little girls shop up and are chatting away in Thai I really have no idea what they are saying, but I hear farrang a lot. I am probably the only farrang around who ues that shop. A 750 CC motorcycle catches peoples eye, especially being worked on in that shop. The guy seem to do most of his business in Tuk Tuk repairs. I finally ask the girls in Thai if the speak english, they had a very shcked look on thier faces. It was amazing they continued to chat away but I never heard the word farrang agian, wonder what those little turkeys were up to
So I'm sitting there, trying to blend into the walls fat chance
In rides this Thai guy looks about 60, with the oddest haircut I have ever seen, looks like a wig that had went very bad. Drunk as a skunk, now we have all had people who want to practise thier english on us, sometimes it's hard to understand, throw in being drunk and it is a real challenge. I'm trying to be a good sport about all this. But he was just gettting to close to me and it made me feel very uncomfortable. So I stood up from the chair as I was doing so he was asking me how old I was, in half Thia and english, but I understood and I tell him. He reaches over and squeezes my bicep, and says still strong. I respond no I'm just an old man. Then right there in the shop next to the highway and in front of Budda and eveybody, he grabs the family jewels, saying these strong to?
My first reaction was to drive the heel of my hand right into his nose, but he is an old man and drunk, so I pushed him away and told in Thai that was not a good thing to do.
You know today I'm very glad I didn't hit him turned out he was a Policeman from the village, at his age I would say probably a senior one.
Finally get the kick stand fixed and passed on the front end noise, which went away the next day.
