Birds can be annoying sometimes.

I have not signed up yet but I will. that was good information you talked about.

Was not aware of the "Proof of Life" form, but now I know. Thanks!

Pesky birds 🙄 Love the Coooool Google Earth! 👏👍

Great info. And yes, the SSA.gov site is awesome. Have had my account there for a few years and have ran various scenarios. I will be applying as I'm in the process of moving. I have yet to check and see if I can start the process early with a later effectivity date. Much like my employer requires me to start the process for retirement from the company 3-6 months before my retirement date. Also curious as to what questions they ask about prior marriage of over 10 years. I am divorced and she is now deceased.

I like your shirt!! I have several just like it! I hope there will still be money when I take may social security which could be in a few years as I am a few years after you. Thank for the info on social security sounds like a process!! we have been crazy busy at work Summer is here!

I have been saving all my life and have always budgeted . Now is the time to spend spend spend....... but it isn't easy here tbh, unless you do a lot of whoring.

I filed at age sixty two because I was more or less already living here and really worried about not taking advantage of it early besides thankfully most of my income comes from Alaska where I worked for the state government. I have been keeping a budget now over forty years and everything is still on paper. You would be shocked how much you can save from having a budget of sorts. It sounds like I got lucky.

I applied online when I hit 62 , did it three months in advance no phone call nothing ... I just got my Im alive form it comes around this time every year. I mailed it back and made a copy . You should not have those problems filing for whats due you ...

Wow that's a lot of rain!!

Fantastic video!

Exceptionnal visual production and video editing. So beautiful, sweet and smooth. Much inspired and talented. A real peaceful and relaxing pleasure to watch. Full of poetry and spirit. Good for the mind and the eyes. Great visit and discover. Fabulous filming. Big big big like for this fantastic perform and brighting sharing. Splendid and luminous.

Beautiful retirement house!

Even here, raining almost everyday!

Looks familiar 😆 Great video though!! 👍

Your gardens looking lovely and established now

Place looks awesome, nice landscaping

Wow! Great sleeping weather!!

Finally had a few good rain storms a few weeks ago at home north afterwards black skies every afternoon rains maybe one spoon stops. Head to south home in search of rain storms. As soon as I arrive south rain stops more rain games. After two weeks finally showers last night but not much. I hope when I head towards Chayaiphum in about ten days will have some rain storms afterwards back to Petchabun I am sure rain will stop as soon as I arrive. Maybe I need to head in your direction or find a way to change the Holodeck weather settings. Had enough of muggy hot weather!

Wow ! Your place looks so nice.

So far, very busy. Hoping that changes!

Good thing you are retired, you wouldn't have time to go to work! 😆 This would be a blockbuster of a trailer! 👏👏

Place as always looks great !

Was your career in the film industry? In particular, blockbuster film music?

😅🍌😆🍌 Looking promising 😋💛

Banana a day keeps the doctor away. Banana is good for potassium.

don't die of hunger waiting for those bananas, it will be a while before they ripen LOL

Nice plant of bananas

Looks good

Im am looking forward to my first bunch. Had one in SC but didnt mature before cold weather turned them black.

I thought we were going to have a long discussion about the banana shortage everywhere it seems. Finally escaped the paint fumes after two months just yesterday and freedom. Was going bananas now have to wean myself off those lovely paint odors. Banana smelling paint there is a idea. Tomorrow heading into Isan for the first times in months. Just hope I can remember the strange dialect when spoken. As long as they understand me is all that matters when hungry.

Nice! Bananas are coming!!

The ads are longer than your video.

Love the back yard! Beautiful!!

What an amazing view from your window, everywhere looks even better 👏👏😍👍

Glad you recovered. Take care

Morning. There are always touch ups to do when you own a home. The place is looking good. As for you birds are they that much of an issue - just a question not a criticism? We have lots of native birds living in the trees around our place in Australia, they eat the seeds / fruits, nest and whatever, it's a joy to watch them go about their daily business. We have larger birds such as Rosella's, Magpies, and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, etc that can make a racket but it great to watch nature at work.

Another well produced video Greg. Good luck with the rains. Our forecast, beginning today, is steady rains going forward.

Place looks great as always

Hard to believe six months later I am still painting walls inside the house. Now up to ten different colors. Today was Kiwi green , yesterday a very weird dark orange, tomorrow not sure yet. Why taking so long you might ask. The house had not been repainted in about forty years and on top of that through the generations many decided to use the walls as foot rests, places for wiping your hands, math problems, Buddhist chants, and out of control kids on Pepsi highs covering almost every last inch of walls in pencil marks. Not to mention numerous broken windows. So guess who gets to clean up the mess to make it habitable . Thankfully (they) now have a new home of their own a few miles away. I can just imagine the new paint job already, I don,t want to see. So because of the heat and air pollution kept busy painting some walls three or more times to cover up the mess. So decided I may as well make the interior interesting and give the Thais something to talk about. It looks like Timothy Leary spent some time here. I will trade you bird battles for this any time over humans entering the house on paint color tours who all have the strong urge to walk directly at a color and have to rub it with their hands. Whats up with that?.

One of the nicest finishes I've seen, congratulations. Do you mind sharing your land size, house size / overall costs? I am getting some land soon, but still saving a while before building. SN Concept living looks great, are they only in Isaan? Thanks very much

Hello. This is the same Lake we’ll be visiting on Sunday (12th). We won’t be on your side though. The whole group will be visiting, what I call, the spirit island on the other side. If you have any suggestions for restaurants in the area we’d appreciate your help. Thanks again. Clay

The following day will be closer to you at เจ้าปู่อือลือนาคราช เกาะดอนโพธิ์.

Do you have “Line”?

My wife is having a big ceremony at the Naga Monument in NPK this Saturday (11th) evening. Starting around 6pm. I realize it’s a couple hours from from you but if you happen to be in the area please join us. It’s been in the planning for a year.

sorry to hear you had to have surgery, Glad you're doing better!! It's amazing how less expensive surgery is there than in the USA. Wow it is hot over there!!! try to stay cool.

Hello Greg, pleased to hear you are well and feeling fine. Yes, concrete block walls are heavy and have a tendency to lean over especially in wet weather. Great idea to anchor the wall. All the best.

Hmmm I love geckos, but I never realised about their pooping habits 😆 Yup I'm staying cool thanks 🥶 Always enjoy your editing👏👏

This is the hottest I remember , we need rain so bad ....

Good tip on the gecko crap
