Right now, I'm trying to get a power boat fixed enough to move on to and a sail boat fixed enough to move off of and sell. It seems as though the work is never going to end You tell it brother..Amen! - I was a fool to take this on - Lord, am I tired of boats! Try getting a house uilt in 1905 ready to sell. total electical total plumbing total land scape total drainage total paint..... interior.....interior Ugggggg! But, I've found that if you just take things one day at a time and do what you can each day somehow, all at once, you find that you have, somehow, worked your way out of the mess and are back afloat. Right on bro.......almost ready for the For Sail sign! I'm not much of a drinker but I do believe that the AA guys have something with their one day at a time thing. Ya, I wish i could hang wit dat crew but booze is a cheep and availible drug. Ask me why it took 11 years to get a BS.and it wasnt ETOH. hey Bruce......... good on 4 ur post havnt been in ur parts 4 a while......... since 70....... have the bars changed? Cheep huch and mama son for 100 MPC? Bob Yes, well... Prices have gone up some from what you saw back in the 70's. But you are talking MPC? No MPC in Thailand. If you are talking about Viet Nam I rotated stateside in 1967 and went back once in about 1972, or there about, to look at a job and I thought that the prices had gone up some then so imagine that they are sky high now. Prices in Thailand, since 1970, has gone up quite a lot. It is hard to talk prices as bars range from bamboo hootch to posh establishments but as a sort of average I'd say that a bottle of beer would run between 50 - 100 baht a bottle and a "lady" about 1,000 baht a night. The exchange rate is *about* 33 baht to the US$. Bruce-in-Bangkok (Note:remove underscores from address for reply) |
