Hi,
We've grown accustomed to the rain. (555) We had a mixed bag of weather this weekend. Saturday was so sunny we got the car washed. Sunday evening it rained and today it dripped all day.
The 'Old School Friday' song was "Our Day Will Come" by Ruby and The Romantics. Bravo to those who knew it. Now it's time for 'Easy Monday'. This one is from 1975: "Strolling along country roads with my baby, it starts to rain, it begins to pour.... I feel the warmth of her hand in mine. Oo, I hear __ __ __ __, walking hand in hand with the one I love..." Hint: I think this one is so easy that a hint would be illegal.
Saturday morning we went to the car wash. While we were waiting we hung out at Doi Chaang Coffee. With our clean car we drove to Central Plaza to visit Top's Market and check on the music I had recorded in my phone. At Boomerang Music we played the recording for the staff. First the manager, then two of her workers. They knew who it was but didn't have it. When I told her we heard it on Fat 93 she realized it was a new single and not for sale yet. Then I played another song and they were a little unclear. Now I have to wait for Da Endorphine to release their new music. I like their stuff so now I'm checking out some of their older music. It's a rock quartet with a female lead singer named 'Da'.
Sunday we stayed at home for most of the day. Boot went off for the day so we had to feed ourselves. Well, Lisa fed us with her usual creative kitchen skills. We had a great lunch with sauted shrimp as the main dish. We needed some things from Makro and tore ourselves away from the comfort zone for a Sunday afternoon shopping trip. We don't usually go there in the late afternoon and now we know why. The place was jumping with families getting the weekly shopping done, stores stocking up, and staff replenishing shelves. On the way to the store we had to make a U-turn on the highway. Because of Sunday traffic there were police actually stopping the flow to allow for U-turns. Very interesting.
While I'm on the subject of driving, I mentioned the special farm vehicles a few weeks ago and I now have a photo to share. This type of 'truck' is used to haul produce from the fields or to local markets. Most of them don't appear to be registered, and they putt along at a very slow speed. This one has a slick new engine with not much power.

Sunday, we also managed to get in a brief swim. We now have a new low on our 'temperature tolerance' meter: 80 degrees. In the evening it started raining and we didn't want to go out, especially since 'our restaurant' closes when it gets too slow. Lisa made dinner and then we watched the Formula One race. It was very exciting with lots of action. We also have been watching some very interesting films on the sports channel that give historical background on the Olympics.
Today two friends with The Sold Project came over for lunch. We ate and talked for over two hours. Lots of life updates, project news, and comparing notes about living in Thailand. We learned a little more about the train that travels from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. Hmm, one of these days we may have to do that. It's an overnight trip through the countryside.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
