Month: October 2021

Since Sammy the Volga is gone and it looks like I will be all week without her. I decided to check out the fence that has a woodpile that sits right in front of her. The fence was leaning and pushing on the wood pile….so I did what any grouchy bear would do, and as I said, “Oh look at this lilac tree!”, I pushed on the lilac tree to see what is all the fuss about…

A lilac tree has grown into the fence and as I removed a tiny bit of the weight of the tree from the fence, crack and twist went the post….and forward fell the whole wood pile. That made me stop and stare and mumble some choice beautiful words of wisdom and then said to whom it may concern, “Well, I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow!”

Therefore, I will move the woodpile to a new home and I will trim the lilac back and I will fix the fence…

Just as well Sammy is not here, for it would have smashed against her front end…

Speaking of Sammy the Volga, she is still being worked on and the young man had finally found a another guy in the Big Village with a computer connection for the brain (as tiny as it is) in Sammy. They are going through all the sensors and replacing any that seem to have questions about them as the software checks them. Good thing she is not a new car….for she only has a dozen sensors, not hundreds…

We do know that one sensor that was out completely was a sensor to regulate the fuel supply. Now we will get much better fuel mileage. That is good…

I was going to town this week to get a birthday gift for Vova, my Russian buddy and it looks like I will have to walk to the main highway and grab the bus to the Big Village. Then do my thing and take the bus back to the bus stop….it really is just part of life in the Tiny Russian Village and since Vova is going to be 70 years old and he really is surprised he has made it this far. This birthday is special to him…

Just my thoughts this morning as I get ready to start my day. Guess I will grab the wheelbarrow and get busy. Dark and or light outside doesn’t matter, still has to be done…

Have a nice day!

TBILISI, October 10. /TASS/. The health condition of Georgian ex-President Mikhail Saakashvili, who has been on a hunger strike in prison since October 1, has deteriorated and he needs to be taken to hospital, his personal doctor Nikoloz Kipshidze said on Sunday.

I still have to ask, “Why did he go back to Georgia?” & “Hasn’t he learned that the his puppet masters do not support him after he does what they say?”

Sassy is in love with a Ukrainian politician and his wife said, “What?”

Just put a smile on my face this morning…

How fitting and wish his a good ride…

Update: Yes he did it and is safely home again….90 years old!

Before we begin, I would like to once again wish all the best on Agriculture and Processing Industry Workers’ Day, which we marked yesterday, October 10, to everyone who works in this industry: researchers, agronomists, farmers, workers, machine operators, livestock specialists – everyone. Largely thanks to your dedicated work, my friends, we have seen a good harvest even in this year’s difficult weather conditions. It will meet Russia’s demand for all major food groups.

I know that in The Ryazan Area the crops did very very well…

Just mark my words…

But, NATO will be defeated and broken up, if Russia and China are awake? I just hope Russia and China understand how serious this really is?

WtR

Scientific consensus about so many things these days is the equivalent of the Church dogma controlled by Rome Saint-Office…

Those within the science community daring to raise hand to contradict the “official truth” are pagan and complotiste…

I don’t see much if any positive evolution of humanity, as we just change the witch hunting to meet the needs and agendas that we see before us in the modern age…

Round and round we go!

Got two e-mails yesterday from two different Oleg’s from far apart locations, found that interesting and useful.

“There is everything at the crossroads! Markings, signs and traffic lights. Only driving culture is missing.” – Oleg

Then later in the day:

Hello there!

Just checked on you, Kyle, on “Windowstorussia”, to learn about your coming MRI.
You hang in there. Here’s something, that you may find handy:

Best regards,

Oleg

The first one is exactly the main issue with Russian drivers. The driving culture and the reason I am looking at this in the first place is that now, there are becoming lots and lots of new videos and they seem to be state sponsored for the most part. They encompass driving rules and penalties for driving wrong….cams at intersections record unbelievable violations in driving daily (within a few minutes, if they actually fined the issues, you are talking about tens of thousands of rubles never ending). They are trying to show how dangerous these violations can be to normal daily life….from cross-walkers/crossroads/highways humans to crosswalk/crossroads/highway vehicle violations. I know many Russians see it and I know it is frustrating to many as it is to me…

The second one is one (a video) that I am and have listened to yesterday and this morning again. I find it useful and it is a serious issue that I have to deal with….the video is useful for me personally and maybe for you or someone you know?…

Information is vital in your health…

Thanks to both Oleg’s…

Up at 3 a.m. two cups of coffee. Checking on if the world has decided to blow itself up and no, it is still there. More hate against Russia and more hate against China by the West, kinda exceedingly redundant at this point…

Tossed four small tiny meat pies in the oven and getting ready to take Sammy the Volga to the Big Village. -4 this morning and my mechanic will drop me off at the main highway and I will walk the three kilometers back home to TRV…

The pies are really good…

Sammy and I will go a bit early so that I can grab a couple of things at the store and hope to see her back by at least by Sunday night. Time to replace some air/temp sensors to make her run better…

When I get back from my stroll in the wilderness, I will start getting the homes ready for Sveta to come in about a week. I hope that she is able to get everything in order to spend at least a week (or two, please) here and then we are off back to Moscow, Russia…

I have to have an MRI done of my head and neck and a colonoscope with surgery’s done of my digestive track. My suspicions are that I have hardening of the arteries (Atherosclerosis) in my neck and we will find that I have issues definitely in my intestines, from several hernias to ???…

I also want to make sure that my tumor in my brain I fought with many years ago is still a ghost and not deciding to wake up again…

Life goes on and I enjoy every second that I am given extra in life and that my friends is all you can do and should do…

I knew Daniel Craig’s said clearly that this was his last James Bond movie, but who knew that 007 would be permanently vaporized off the planet in “No Time To Die”? His death is pretty clear cut and I was kinda like, “No way, James Bond does not die!”…

Yet not even Bond can ignore that the missiles falling on him are a bit thorough in their execution, and having Bond get up out of his casket and saying, “Bond, James Bond” with a “shaken not stirred” martini. Just will not happen…. for you have to have more than a body vaporized to resurrect, okay it could but that would be beyond imagination even for Hollywood…

Daniel Craig has been my favorite Bond and I have seen every Bond from the beginning with “Dr. No” to “No Time to Die”….I have also read all of Ian Fleming’s books on Bond. The books are better yet for me…

The movie is good, not the best Bond, but damn good and the ending signifies the end for me to watch them anymore. For it is easy to see that this has left the road open for a “woke” probably gay/female Bond and simply put, that ain’t gonna cut the mustard in the world of 007…

James Bond like so much of my life has been there from the beginning and like so much even James Bond has fallen to the new world…

I think I cut my losses and will remember James Bond as perceived in its infancy, when I was a young punk. Some things are better left alone and I will remember Bond standing at the end waiting for the missiles to hit the silos…

Goodbye 007!

Kinda waiting and watching how much of this is true and how much is falsified. The source is very questionable….yet I do believe that truth is being told….for this is a world wide issue…

“If the authenticity of these materials is confirmed, then, of course, this is a pretext for a serious investigation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, stressing that “first we must quickly, but calmly, establish the authenticity of these materials.”

But no surprises if it is true. Prisons/Jails are not a very pleasant place to be and I know, I have been in several for wrong reasons…

That is why such issues bother me….you would be surprised at how many people are in prisons in the world and never did anything wrong and or nothing wrong that should entail going to prison…

So Russia, get on it and take care of this issue….you are a better country than this and please do not let the perpetrators get off with a simple expulsion and slap on the wrist…
