Must have one now.

So just a little blue cheese into each olive?

The smugness is almost an emetic.

And that fucking poolside fridge …….gosh, how fucking cool Arizona.

Couldn’t agree more. Here’s to Stumpy style and a happy Songkran. I wish I had the time and energy to keep my pool that clean!

Lil ole Embellishing Eddie strikes again.

Hot on the heels of his 15 year old gym snaps

Anyone remember when he won a free meal at Timba's restaurant in DD's photo competition with a pic he ripped off the net?

More horseshit than a Farmers wheelbarrow

Mao was also sleazy and shallow, but much more amusing.

The tenderloin just melted in your mouth, didn't it. The butter seared crust, perfection.

To be honest I just assumed he was retired.

He did retire, twice. The energetic bugger just keeps failing at retiring.

OK white man fly on silver bird.

Sawadee Bi Mai Krap everyone!

Don't get too wet.

Well Thanks guys. Cheers and Happy Songkran. My wife's 12 year old niece is staying with us as her Mom unfortunately has to work so it's always fun to have water fights with kids playing around. She will have some friends come by from school. I think Tax and SA never had children so they don't understand how to relax and have fun.

Actually I work full time but being that our business activities are global from the US, EU, SEAsia I work various hours so it does give me a lot of freedom and I now work from home 95% of the time.

On the pool, I quite honestly do not do much. Vacuum as needed but the pool chemistry is dialed in and it just takes care of itself for the most part.

Sadly, my pool is rented and comes supplied with a lazy ineffective Hindu pool cleaner.

Got out of Chiang Mai and heading up the mountains in north Laos.

Happy Songkran all. Let the games begin. Already 100F at noon.

Isn't that Chairman Mao, licking his lips, striding up behind him/her?

BINGO ... Just got 1/2 way through page 1

Went into central Hua Hin about midday, found a bar on a busy street and set about it. Did about 4 hours with a trip down Bintabaht where the water was too cold. Daughter and her mate loved the day. Not really my thing but everyone there was nice so was a laugh. Resisting the urge to sleep at 8pm.
