The team weren't training this afternoon





And it's not too expensive to watch a game

Sunrise over Lake Michigan.

That from Imgur.com. I copied the direct link option to clipboard . Then pasted after choosing the URL option on TD. Then unchecked the box below. A bit of a pain jumping place to place but it worked from a mobile device so yes kinda cool.

^I just find it tricky copying the url using my clumsy fingers on the screen, but we get used to it...

A 'Tarantula Hawk' with a young Tarantula. Rare to see the wasp with one in it's mouth outside the Tarantula's lair. Usually the wasp enters the lair. Stuns the Tarantula and places an egg on it. The new wasp will then use the stunned Tarantula as food.

^ Don't get bitten by one of these in the South-Western USA.

Justin Schmidt is an entomologist, and has accordingly been stung by a lot of bugs. So he invented something called the Schmidt sting pain index (named after some guy called Schmidt, apparently), which ranks the pain of insect stings from one to four. Down at one is something like the fire ant, which is so named for a reason, while up at four is the bullet ant, which is so called for a very, very good reason.
Joining the bullet ant at four is a critter that lives right here in the southwestern US: the tarantula hawk. It’s actually a kind of solitary wasp with a sting whose resulting pain only lasts three minutes, but it’s so fiercely electric that it could only be described as totally unacceptable. “There are some vivid descriptions of people getting stung by these things,” says invertebrate biologist Ben Hutchins of Texas Parks and Wildlife, “and their recommendation—and this was actually in a peer-reviewed journal—was to just lie down and start screaming, because few if any people could maintain verbal and physical coordination after getting stung by one of these things. You’re likely to just run off and hurt yourself. So just lie down and start yelling.”

^ Off topic, but this subject is interesting.

Cheers Bogey.

I've pencilled in some TD time for September 2021 so hopefully I'll get round to uploading an image or two then.

Pesky fucking full-time work bollocks.

Motorcy taxi man's pet. Likes pineapple and monkey nuts (the squirrel, I mean)

Kept on a 3m leash so can play in the tree.

Not sure what gets hung on the nail....




Nearby BTS progress on the 26m pier

Oak Hill cemetery in Georgetown. Does the guy with the biggest grave marker win? I would prefer to spend m money while I'm alive, but I suspect many in here had to much to spend in a lifetime.

A squirrel having some acorns in the cemetery.

I think this is the culprit for eating my wife's Lilly flowers.

You can see somethings been having them. These must have been to high. Strange that these bloom in late fall.

Found four of these in the garage a few months ago. We took them to the woods a bit from our place.

The gf made fur last night. I think it's called pho in Vietnam. Not sure in thailand but its damn good no matter how you say it. Or what you call it.

Went up Mandalay Hill to test the new phone camera out, there were lots of cats about.

The rains have been very heavy this month, bonus is greener hills

Bloody cats. Ungrateful bastards

Just trying to cheer him up

^Punty will be well jell

Dunno how you go around in jeans and shoes everyday Pat.

Haven't put on underkaks in years, never mind going out around Bkk in jeans during the daytime. You're a better man than me.
