Hi,

No need for details on the day’s weather.  Hot and humid as usual.  We’re so ‘rain free’ that Khun Dang came to start repairs on the roof.

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “Help” by The Beatles.  ‘Zany Day’ is next and should be equally easy.  What?

“On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life.  There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there was sand and hills and rings…. I’ve been through the desert on  __ __ __ __ __, it felt good to be out of the rain…”  Hint:  There is a large animal involved.

This morning we were expecting Khun Dang to arrive at 9am.  Just as we were starting Daku’s morning exercise Dang called to say he would be early.  He pulled into the driveway, followed by two guys on motorbikes.  A few minutes later a truck full of bamboo and wood pulled in and they began building a super-structure on the back of the house.  This scaffolding was unusual because it started with the standard metal tubing, but then they extended it upward with bamboo poles, wire, and motorbike inner-tubes.  I just stepped away and trusted that they knew what they were doing.  

Today’s photo is the ‘jungle gym’ that Khun Dang’s guys built so they can reach the roof.  Hmm.

While the workers were building, we decided to get a long overdue van wash.  We hung out at Work@Home and had our ‘usual’.  Lisa has the coffee, I have Jasmine tea, and Blue has a beautiful fruit salad and tea.  We got a chance to visit briefly with our friends Katai and Towan, which is always fun.  He and I talked cars for a few minutes and I learned some new stuff.  They own a tractor business in another province, but Towan’s avocation is that of navigator for a rally team; the kind you see flying through the countrysides.  They just finished remodeling their home and Khun Dang did the work.  That’s how we met him.  

Daku had a hard time today.  He missed his morning workout, and every time he wanted to go out he had to be on the leash.  We knew that we had some birds that build their nests in the rain gutters, but I had no idea how many nests had been built in between the tiles over seven years.  The workers removed piles of ’stuff’ that Daku was very interested in checking out.  

 Time for a Wacky Wednesday.

            Peace,

                      Danny
