Force

Hi,
This may seem a little late to some of you. We had a little dinner tonight with Jen and the boys. Boot cooked another magnificent meal and we all had a fun time. More on that later.
A few of you knew the song. That's cool. Even if you've never heard it, I think you could figure it out from these lines. Try it.
"I got a __ __ __ for you, true true love for you, I got a __ __ __ for you" Hint: If you can't get it from that, well.... He was sometimes referred to as 'The Fat Man'.
Today we had the weirdest rain yet. The sun was shining and all of a sudden these big giant drops began to fall. Many bikers were caught off guard. It lasted about 20 minutes and then it was a warm sunny day again.
Tonight's dinner turned into a different kind of party after the table had been cleared. We kept being 'bugged' by mosquitos so I got one of our electric rackets from the bedroom. Third began hunting them down. Pretty soon Nu was scouting around looking for them. That's when I got the second racket. There they were, two grown men, scanning the walls for mosquitos. We learned many things about these insects during the course of the hunt. For instance, they like to sleep on the burnt orange walls of the living room. That's where the boys found quite a few. Later they moved into the bedroom and I dubbed the whole thing a 'Mosquito Party'. This cracked Jen up and we started joking about sending out invitations with a note to wear repellent and bring your own racket. We'd never seen so many in the house and figured it was due to all the rain and moisture in the yard. I'm thinking about firing the geckos.
Tomorrow morning we go to Chiang Mai. A new adventure awaits as we stay in a new hotel. Our usual was booked so we had to go to one of their affiliates.
Our friend John, from Bali, has been in the hospital in Bangkok. He's recovering from knee surgery and may be there a few weeks more. It's a little frustrating to be at the stage of the house that we're in because we'd really like to go down and visit him. I may have told you this before, but Bangkok has some of the best medical care in the world, at a fraction of the cost. Something to keep in the back of the mind.
When we return on Thursday, we will meet Jen and her sons at Sinthanee to negotiate for our air/cons and a small T.V. They want the air at the site on Friday for installation. Things are getting tight. I guess this is what's called 'crunch time'.
Have a Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
