Mat told me that last Monday was the world toilet day. I know that sounds a little strange. But since I build and helped with building toilets in several villages I thought I post it here. In the villages we work many people don’t have toilets. On the webpage of the world toilet organization I…

Yesterday I went to the Shell Proserv station to get the engine oil changed on my truck and to get it washed as well. I asked if they could change the breaks at the back since they were breaking only at 46%. I had to test them in January and didn’t have the time to…

My son wants to be an astronaut. In School they had activity week where they learned all about space. From planets to making space suits.

Gestern 12.00 Uhr ist das Militär mit Panzern in Bangkok eingerückt. Das Regierungsgebäude und Fernsehhstationen sind übernommen worden. Ein Militärputsch ist im Gange. Das Militärgesetz (martial law)wurde ausgerufen und die Konstitution des Landes wurde suspendiert. Was dies für uns heisst wissen wir nicht. Es scheint alles ruhig zu verlaufen. Wir sind auch 900km. nördlich der…
