Hi,
Today was a mix of sun and rain, banking and dog play, coffee with a friend and some work around the house.
The 'Zany Day' song has apparently stumped all of you. I didn't mean for that to happen. I really hope you know this:
"He rides through the jungle tearin' limbs offa trees (__ __), knockin' great big monstahs dead on their knees (__ __). The cats don't bug him cuz they know bettah (__ __), cuz he's a mean motah scootah and a bad go-gettah..."
Hint: The title is the name of a make-believe character from prehistoric times.
This morning we went to the bank. We are assembling various documents for our visa renewal on Saturday morning and the bank is part of the mix. Just as we got to the bank I ran into an old friend from our early Chiang Rai days. It was Supat, a driver we rode all over town with, looking for a rental house. He's the guy who found the house we lived in back in 2007. It was a nice surprise and reminded me of the history we have here.
Every time we go to the bank I have to chuckle when I hear the automated voice connected to the counter service. When a teller is available the voice says the number of the window and the last words sound like 'candy counter'.
There is a parking lot behind the vegetable market and it costs the usual 4 Baht to park. Today the guy who collects the money was enjoying the slow morning by playing his guitar on the back of a truck. We didn't see him until we were leaving, but Lisa managed to get this photo of him. You can't see his face because he's wearing a full mask. Keeps the dust and smoke away. (Also looks a little mysterious)
Parking Lot Guy
After our downtown adventures our friend Shannon met us at our house and we went to the new coffee house in our neighborhood. Good coffee, good conversations and a final farewell.
This afternoon I coated the new mailbox with weather-proofing. We also hung and rehung many of Lisa's cast acrylic prints. The house is now like a gallery. There are still more to show but we'll have to rotate them.
After dinner Gary came by with some chairs for the party on Sunday. We didn't know he was bringing Jago with him. When the gate opened and Daku saw the truck he got all excited. Gary said that when Jago saw our front gate he also got excited. While we unloaded the chairs and talked, the two dogs had a great time running and playing.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
