Hi,
Today was one of those 'Get things done' days. We covered everything from plumbing parts to photo stops, water pumps to fake floor, and still had time to play with the dogs. Whew.
The 'Easy Monday' song was "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. Oh well, here's another stumper for ya. A 'Zany Day' mind-twister challenge: "__ __ __ __, send your camel to bed. Shadows paintin' our faces, traces of romance in our heads. Heaven's holdin' a half-moon, shinin' just for us. Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon, and kick up a little dust." Hint: The title has to do with a specific time and place.
This morning, on our way to Makro, we saw one of those sights that just has to be captured for posterity. I've been telling you about how the rice fields are being filled in for building purposes. While this particular plot of ground is settling and waiting to be sold, the neighbors took advantage of the sunshine it provided.
Hung out to dry
After a light dose of Makro we went into town. Our floor repairs were still waiting so we went to the source. It's nice to know the boss sometimes, because later in the afternoon the workers showed up, brought the laminate and finished the job.
Out in the yard we now have the big blue water tank sitting on the concrete slab, with a motor and a bunch of tubing going in different directions. It looks quite impressive, but I'm waiting to see the well water flowing out before I celebrate.
At the government building by the Pink Bridge near our house, there is a giant expo of some sort. Boot went to it today and said they have many things to see. We're going to go with her tomorrow evening and check it out. It's sponsored by the Department of Internal Trade, which apparently promotes business within Thailand. More will be learned, I'm sure.
The water in the pool is nearing a 'sane' temperature for swimming. While this might seem like cause for excitement, we hold our breath, literally, since exercising outside depends on the air quality. This is the ultimate solution to the problem of temperature and good air: Build a clear enclosure that allows sunlight, with an air filtration system. Who has a big bag of money lying around for a worthwhile experiment? (555)
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
