PCH Glory
What I wouldn’t do to bring the Crown here someday… My brother in law bought a cherry ’64 GTO convertible with a nice crate V8, perfect inside and out, and all I could think was… I miss my Crown.

America Has Fish Sauce
But there are so many basic types and specific variants, as well as imported and domestically produced brands, it’s mind-boggling. Referring to any specific type as just “fish sauce” could be quite disastrous, depending on the context (who put pla dak in the nam pla?). Bonus shot: Ultra dope station wagon in the Costco parking lot.

Happy…. Ending?
On the long road home, we came across this at DMK… By the way, Don Muang International is now the best airport in Thailand as far as I know. All the amenities and nowhere near the madness or scale of Suvarnabhumi.

Disabling Edge Swipes for Logitech K400r Keyboard on Windows 10
After trying multiple times over several years, I finally found a solution for the annoying trackpad gesture problem (when left swiping on the trackpad causes task view like “Windows key +Tab” to open). My particular setup on Win 10 uses both a wired keyboard (for normal use) and a K400r (for use with TV). I tried basically every solution proposed on the net including: CONFIGURING TOUCHPAD GESTURE SETTINGS ON THE K400 KEYBOARD (Logitech site) How to Enable or Disable Screen Edge Swipe in Windows 10 (tenforums and other help sites offer the same advice) As well as the totally unhelpful pot of crap that is the Microsoft help site.

Tacos and Somtam
Olé, krup! To be precise, fish tacos and non-papaya tam variant. To be even more precise, deep-fried Nile tilapia tacos with corn and bird’s eye chili salsa and long fak bean tam. Tacos always get my inner Mike D going: He said, “Can I get some?” I said, you can’t get none! Had a chance to run He pulled out his shotgun He was quick on the draw, I thought I’d be dead He put the gun to my head and this is what he said

The Best Thai Beer – Snowy Weizen
A good friend from Roi Et brought his boys over yesterday, and we had an epic dinner with smoked ribs (using a new white wine finish I read about and will now implement every time), authentic Mexican rice and beans, hastily smoked Isaan sausage and Indian corn, grilled het nang fa (literally: fairy mushrooms) from Nam’s sister’s farm resort, and several kinds of beer from my friend Gop’s bottle shop. Among the beers, the real standout was this Snowy Weizen (obviously inspired by the huge success of Hoegaarden in Thailand in the past few years), produced by Boon Rawd Brewery (other products: Leo Beer, Singha Beer, Thai Beer). It’s a cloudy…

Dragonfly table
So this happened lol. We were looking for a used table. They cost about 3,500 to 4,000 baht for a decent one. Delivery would be around 1,000 baht since there were none for sale around here. Went shopping at our neighborhood shopping mall yesterday and found this one (Dragonfly 20mm) on sale with a set of paddles for 4,750 baht. Ka-ching!
