My post-lockdown commute back to work

[Stumpy]

Oh Yeah, Mendy has more hair on his fingers then I do on my arms. FFS, he can braid the stuff. Damn Neanderthal man. Must play hell on all his shower drains.

[Dillinger]

^^ You'd obviously boil them first. There's a few paintbrushes there.

Lets be honest, the dogs wouldn't mind a fur ball. I mean they eat chickens feather and all. But yeah Dil.. You could boil and skin them pudgy fingers and they are definitely dog treats.

Sorry Mendy.

[Mendip]

FFS... do you guys have no hobbies?

I'm making no apologies for having manly fingers.

Ouchy.

Hope you got some iodine on that. Where was your wedding ring? Bravado in front of the gardener or danger wank go awry?

Funny you should say that... I lost my wedding ring last year in the garden and this was the first time that I really regretted not finding it. It's quite a thick band and would have protected my finger from Yogi's teeth admirably. I set up a metal detecting treasure hunt for the daughter round the garden and thought I'd spice it up a bit with a piece of gold. Of course she found the 10 Baht coins and airline cutlery but me wedding ring wasn't detected. Every now and again I surreptitiously do a bit of searching but have completely forgotten where it is.

So as it stands Yogi has severely curtailed my sex life. There'll be no danger wanks or any other kind for a while yet until the swelling goes down, particularly of the left handed variety.

Mendip
As for me inoculating my chickens I don't think that will happen.
One I'm too lazy to try and catch them all and if I only did the warren hens it would probably be pointless.
The MIL has lots of chickens and I have never seen any die for seemingly no reason except of course the 1 warren hen of mine that literally fell off the perch.
So do you think the Warren's are more susceptible than the native hens?

I hope you have got yourself a rabies vaccination after getting bitten. Once you develop rabies it is too late and it is fatal.
In future just let them sort it out and sit back and watch while sipping whatever it is you are drinking at the time.

As always one more thing, do you think the traffic in Korat has gotten worst or is it lighter than before you went away?

Ootai, the fowl cholera vaccine will protect the ones you inoculate so there is every point in doing the chickens you can catch. When we got hit a few years ago we lost about 50 chickens... the entire flock apart from three warren hens that I'd recently purchased. The rearing stations inoculate before selling the warren hens and protection lasts for around 3 months, so those 3 were lucky. We lost wild jungle fowl, mixes, all sorts and it was heartbreaking burying 3 or 4 every morning for a couple of weeks. You're OK until if/when you get hit of course.

No chance of Yogi having rabies... our dogs are isolated and have had all their jabs. I have had rabies jabs before when working West Africa but I do probably need boosters. I'll look in to that before I start messing with the street dogs again... I went with the gardener today to feed our regulars and after being away 7 months it's a disaster... puppies everywhere.

And... the Korat traffic has been appalling these last few days... as ever. Not sure if it's any worse but certainly no better.

FFS... do you guys have no hobbies?

.

Yeah -uh no, we don't. You should have figured that out by now.

[Stumpy]

Oh man do I have hobbies. I just modified my Hilux suspension to raise it up a few inches more. It's at the alignment shop now. Will pick it up tomorrow. I planted a few shrubs, rode my bike, washed windows and screens, swam some laps and am now having a cocktail. But as always I take a few minutes to check TD.

Btw. A few women told me. " Hair makes a dog, not a man" . Maybe time for a knuckle shaving..?

Nuttin but love for ya man..

[Edmond]

What do lesbians call Mendy?

[Steady]

Don't know but I reckon Nev would be up for another squat challenge

[OhOh]

How is your sump guard plate holding up?

[Edmond]

Don't know

Well hung.

[armstrong]

You just got home Mendy your misses should be all over your hairy arms! Your hands shouldn't need to be anywhere near your cock!

[katie23]

@mendip - good morning! Enjoy your first weekend at home.

Good morning & happy Saturday to all!

Btw, as to hair - I'd call that as incomplete evolution. On the same level as Neanderthal & Australopithecus.

I once saw some guys with back hair in a public swimming pool. My thoughts were "eww". No offense to Mendip, of course.

[Saint Willy]

Never you mind all them hairless fancy nancy boys, Mendip! Real mean have hair!

[katie23]

^that looks alright, sexy even. I don't like a carpet-ful of chest hair & the accompanying back hair. Personal preference though - I'm sure some ladies like their men extra hairy.

[baldrick]

Real mean have hair!

the gaydar just pinged - do you find the manscaped bloke attractive willy ?

[Mendip]

^ It is strange Baldrick. I post some good advice about protecting your chickens but all these guys talk about is my body hair. I can understand Katie's interest but the rest of them? I thought I must have logged into Grindr by mistake.

Anyway, I have normal hair on my chest, and a bit of extra hair on my legs, arms and fingers. None on my back. End of.

I have to agree with KingWilly... that pic is pretty accurate.


Ootai, the Korat traffic is typically like this for the school run. After being away for nearly 7 months everything I do entails a job... every clock in the house needed batteries... try and wash the windscreen and find that the water tank is empty... and so it goes on. I'll get there in the end.



This was my hope but I fear it is weeks away. Coco and Yogi remain very close after their unseemly conduct a few months ago and Yogi doesn't seem to mind that Coco is now neutered.



But it's not all bad... I've had peas with every meal this week! Pla nin fish and chips last night. But I need to get this stuff back on the dinner thread. We're making steak and kidney pie today.



And look what arrived in the post today... Thank you TeakDoor!

[strigils]

Mendip, if i was having to negotiate that traffic twice daily, stuck in jams i'd just get on the step through.

[Stumpy]

Thanks on the how to keep your chickens healthy tip. I killed and ate all ours and there will be no more chickens at this house, except for a few neighbor ones that accidently fly into our yard and my lab makes a quick kill and I toss it in the trash before they ask "have you seen a rooster in your yard"

I have been thinking about another dog. A yellow lab. Inquired on a few puppies. Just haven't decided. Our 2 have bonded very well and 3rd might upset that balance. My wife mentioned a little toy yappin worthless rodent dog. I said Find one cheap. Our lab will kill it in a few days.

How is the pool? Gardener have it ready for a dip?

Btw. I remember that Korat traffic right by "The Mall" terrible. Lights all signal out of cadence backing it up. Why don't you take that bypass road on the left or has everyone figured out that short cut.

[Stumpy]

How is your sump guard plate holding up?

Perfect. Actually went over a crazy dog about 3 weeks ago. Just walked out in front of me. I think it was a planned suicide on the dogs part. Actually having the skid plates stops the animal from getting its legs all caught up in the suspension and transmission cross member and they just bounce around underneath rather than be dragged for a few hundred meters. Before anyone asks....Yes I stopped. No there was no one around to ask who's dog it was. I left. Thankfully my wife wasn't with me or I would have had to go to the temple....

I raised up my truck a bit more as I want to add 33" tires

[OhOh]

I want to add 33" tires

That will warrant a photo once you have them installed.

Will that not bugger up the front drive shaft CV joints?

Naah. I already added the longer control links to keep the CV shafts at an acceptable angle. This additional lift is re arched rear leaf springs and 2" spacers between the shock assy top plate and the factory perch. It's more like a leveling kit but adds more lift for tire clearance without changing the entire front suspension geometry.

Hiya Mendy.

[David48atTD]

And look what arrived in the post today... Thank you TeakDoor!

Mate, I'd be carefull ... looks like it came with a STD warning label.

I'll laugh at my own joke as it seems you won't ...

But can it do this?

[Mendip]

Missus... I've only got the one, thank God.

We've been married quite a while now mate, I'm lucky to get a cup of tea.

Mendip, if i was having to negotiate that traffic twice daily, stuck in jams i'd just get on the step through.

I won't ride a bike in Thailand mate, especially with my daughter on board. Besides, there's another classmate on the school runs. He's half Welsh but I still think I should keep him safe.

How is the pool? Gardener have it ready for a dip?

Yes, he's done a good job. It's 14 years old now and the vinyl liner has become a bit stained, but not bad for being so old I think.

Today was the first time I've had a chance to use it but the water was 26 degrees... a bit cold for me these days.

I still managed a gin and tonic though, albeit a precarious one. With real lemon as well!



And a few action shots...







You've got no pink flamingo JP?

I don't think he does!
