I've been taking them, but internet speed is too slow to post 'em!
Right now the sun is getting ready to set behind Doi Suthep mountain with it's temple on the top... Makes for a nice view.....

There are quite a few tall buildings in this town, but they've recently put a ban on any new buildings over 8 stories, so there is no worry that my views will ever be blocked off. I can see all the way west to the mountain, and all the way east as far as the eye can see, looking over all of Chiang Mai. I can see luxury condo buildings interspersed with jungle greenery and ancient temples. Strange mix. I can look straight down and see water buffaloes, but 200 meters further on is a huge luxury hotel and shopping center. Bizarre combinations!

Tonight I'm going to try to hook into a better provider.

Quite your belly aching, out here in small town USA all I have had for the past 7 or so years is DSL, which gets in the 2MBPs range with a good tail wind. I post photos and videos at full rez all the time. So stop being a baby, and post them.

My small town DSL connection (the only one available to me where I live) is 1.32 MBps for download and 0.31 MBps for upload.

Fresh coffee in my cup, as I try to wake up and get ready for work.

Here in Paradise, I have a choice of cable or DSL, and both have completely suckie upload speeds, though the download speed is decent (10-15 Mbps).

Today, starting off with my favourite "everyday" Keemun -- Peet's Lion Mountain Keemun.

Yup, all of that today. Not really rainy, just "unsettled". Showers keep coming through. But it's chilly. So, Lapsang Souchong in my cup.

Home again, home again, and drinking diet A&W root beer. I don't drink sodas, but this is really good. I haven't tasted it since I was little and lived at home.

Now, on to thinking about what to make for dinner later.

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
It showed me how to laugh and how to cry
It introduced me to some friends of mine
And brightened up some days
It helped me make it through some lonely nights
Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes and ears to me
It brought us close together
I guess it broke her heart
It opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueu4W95Kcx0)

Good morning, everyone! Happy "It's Great to be Alive" Day!
I've just finished another wonderful meal from the vendor downstairs. I wonder what it was? But the tea I had with it was a Ceylon. At least that much I can name!

Because of the inability to even log on to my server, I figured I deserved a treat. So I went out and bought a new toy! I'm amazed at the sound it makes! It will give me something to do while waiting for pages to load... It's an exact copy of Martin's D-45, but without the Martin brand price.

For the past 5 years I've had 50MPS. I'm spoiled for life. And all I have is this little laptop screen that hasn't been color-corrected to use with my photo correction software... Have patience, dear. Remember, it's a virture.

I'd even settle for THAT if I could log in to my server after 11am... It's usually too busy to even get in!

I'm going to try not logging OUT today and see if that helps. I don't have any where to be until 12:30, so the computer will be on anyway. I always kept my desktop computer turned on 24/7, so why not the laptop? I have double cooling fans under it taking away the heat it makes. It will still be slow, but at least I'll be connected.

Stitch, I had a mate with a D45. He could make it sound like bells. He imported guitars. He brought in 25 Washburns in 1979 and we sat down and picked the nicest sounding one for me. I haven't played it for ages. I think I'll start playing again.
I can do it over a cup of Twinings Earl Grey. I was startled to see in the supermarket today when all they usually have is Bushels or Billy Tea. They have a million tea bags to choose from but rarely anything that makes you go Arrrrh.

Arrrrrh.

Yellow Tea. Love the Yellow Tea.

Taking baby boy to the doctor. Three nights in a row he has cried so hard in his crib that he has started hypervenilating. This is not a good thing. The only way to comfort him is to hold him, he falls asleep, we put him in crib, he wakles up and cries. Rinse and repeat. I can normally get him to sleep soundly enough on me to put him in the crib but once he gets himself crying there seems to be little that we can do. The hypervenilating has me freaked out.

Sitting in an internet cafe drinking 'Hilltribe' tea (Oolong) putting 10-baht coins into the machine so I can use the net. I tried leaving my computer on all day, which DID keep me logged into the server, but still too slow to connect to any page. Timed out before it got there. Later this afternoon I went to one of the major IT severs in town and signed up to have them connect to my condo. I've opted for the 13MPS plan to start. They have plans they 'say' that go all the way up to 50MPS, but that would on a really good day. I'm guessing that the 13MPS plan will give me between 7-10MBS as a general rule.

This guitar really is the 'Mother of Voices!" If my fingers didn't hurt so much I'd be playing on it right now!

I had a Washburn at one time too. They are really nice guitars! And do start playing again... but remember... only a few minutes a day for the first few weeks. Because of the move, I hadn't played in two months. Saturday night's playing, and last night's playing with my old group has two of my fingers almost bleeding... I'll be happy when they harden back up. Too soft to even hammer-on correctly!

I am sure he is physically fine but we have to figure out this sleep thing. Hypervenilating because he is in his crib alone is not good. We don't know what to do so I think it best to get advice from someone who might. Hopefully. Please. My god I am thinking of Tylenol simply to get a good nights sleep and that is just not right.

More Yellow Tea

Thank you. It has a happy feeling to it, I think.

I wish you luck. It is so hard to figure out what is bothering them when they can't communicate clearly. Could it be an earache? Does he sleep flat or do you have the head of his bed elevated?

Morning sumatra coffee in my cup.
