I was wondering when somebody would make the filename connection! Kudos to you Keith, and bravos to bisquit, memphis and Mr. RR. Almost finished with the construction phase of this project, and if I must say so myself, it's looking spectacular... updates to come.
But this morning I headed out to
Baan Mor, the electronics & A/V neighborhood near Chinatown in the old part of the city to buy resistors and zip ties. First steps out of the taxi and I'm in electronics repair heaven... Bangkok sidewalk style.

A little further down, and I found my Zip Tie Princess. I've purchased from her partner before... they have the best prices I've seen anywhere. And, she wasn't shy about my photo-journalistic nature either.

Not the cheapest way to go, but at $2.50 for the combo, getting what I want without having to spend more time traveling and paying for transpo, I'm happy. I bargained for that price with my new friend Greg:

I liked Greg's Black Eyed Peas T-shirt, but he wouldn't trade it for my Quiksilver
I like the PopCorn Orchids blooming in the carpark garden too. Nite-All.
