Cattle Drive
Returning from my first motorcycle ride of the season, I happened across a cattle drive just outside the gate of our housing complex. I saw at least 30 head of cattle, and there could have been many more as they were stretched out in a very long column, enthusiastically grazing their way up a flooded canal road.
Cattle drive is a misnomer. There were no cowboys. No horses. Just one cattle farmer guy walking at the head of the column and relying on some kind of honor system for the stragglers to keep moving forward--which they eventually did.

Better than a drought...
By pure dumb luck, the downpour didn't start until just after I finished my short bicycle ride around the housing complex.

There will be more downpours before this 2022 rainy season comes to an end.

Sanitarium Trip results: The numbers.
With the Sanitarium Trip completed as of 20220920, it's past time to look at the numbers (20220924). Weighed in this afternoon at 80 kg, down from 85 kg before the trip. Kilometers and steps per day are listed below. You'll see them decreasing since my return to Thailand on 20220920 (left side of chart).
I did my first mall walking today (Sep. 24th), and I'll be doing more. It's the one thing I can think of to maintain some physical activity until the hot and sticky rainy season ends.
Plenty of water in Lam Takhong Reservoir...
Looks like there's plenty of water in เขื่อนลำตะคอง / Lam Takhong Reservoir this year. Scarred by many drought years, I am grateful for that.

Your boy did some serious gut reduction over the last month. The question is how to maintain healthiness if I can't walk 10 km per day outside. 20220922 |
Chance of rain...
It looks like it's going to rain pretty much every day from now until the end of the rainy season. I came back knowing I would have to tough it out for a couple of weeks more. It's not all bad. 24 degrees at 17:21 is a very good temperature for here.

Motorcycle: Use it or lose it.
I didn't ride my motorcycle for a month while I was in Korea. The wasps decided to build themselves a nest under the end cap of my motorcycle exhaust. I had at least two other unidentified critter nests on my wheels, one each front and back. One of the two bicycles had a wasp nest as well, this one located on the inside of the big sprocket.

Toad the Wet Toad
Seeing a lot of toads here in the housing complex during the rainy season. There are certainly plenty of bugs to feast on.

Souvenirs from Korea
Not exactly your typical souvenirs, but my kind of souvenirs, I guess. Here's the haul:

Flying out of Incheon International Airport
Monday, 20220919, the end of the trip. Time to fly out of Incheon International Airport.
As it turns out, Incheon was exactly the perfect location to build the airport. It has always been, and must always remain, the entry point to Korea. All Ways Incheon!!!
 |
| Last meal in Korea. Not so good. |
 |
Back was already tweaked and ready to go out at any moment. This luggage cart saved the day. |
 |
| Looking south from Gyeyang Station, where you catch the train to the airport. |
 |
| I did at least three self-tests for Covid during the trip, maybe four. |
