When you look at this video? We are better than these jesters who say they are our leaders and it is clear that someone else is telling these people what to do and say…

When you look at them, all you have to do is think of a play, and think of actors. 3rd rate actors and or the 3rd bananas!

Therefore, I believe that the 2nd bananas are sitting around a table getting their orders from the 1st banana and I now am closer to belief that people like Soros and Gates are in the 2nd banana group + other very rich worthless individuals…

Whom is the “1st Banana”?

“We will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support and stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” reads the G7 leader’s statement…

This statement alone tells you they have a script and they just follow orders…

Actually?

What a terribly sick empire that the Black Widow Spider of deceit has weaved! This is a good book title in some form or another…

Actually the Empire is more correctly titled: The Empire of Lies, Chaos, Hubris & Rhetoric…

And add, Lucifer’s Wet Dream Empire!

Don’t steal my book idea…

Title: The Empire of Lies and Chaos was/is actually the Empire of Hubris & Rhetoric…

So as Russia’s oil was attacked in the past, financially, so will Saudi Arabia be attacked and I suspect China will help as they did for Russia. With a money swap deal…

The young man (Ivan) sent images as things progressed over the last two weeks. So, I am just going to upload and here they are below. Not the best, but “good enough for government work” as we say…

The engine a 406 model, was gone through completely. New pistons, new crank, new bearings, new rings, new oil pump, and Whatnots…

The only issue and Ivan will work on it, is starting. There is still something not just correct in that area. He will work on it in two weeks. At that time the engine oil for the break in period will be changed, with new filter and front end greased. Then he will look at the starting issue. Once started it is okay. I believe a sensor for cold starting is bad?

Today Sammy just got washed (and the mosquitoes and horseflies tried to use me as a buffet) and I will asses the body work spots and how I will fix them and touch up the paint?

Tomorrow I will go to the Big Village and get antifreeze to top the level up and oil and filter to do break in changing time…

Otherwise, it is nice having our girl Sammy back…

She is family!

It is how long I will live?

I tip the scales at 185 pounds!

I have been asked, How I lost so much weight?

At my worst moment in life, I was around 355 pounds or 160 kilos and right now I am basically 83 to 84 kilos or about 185 pounds. That means I have lost, give or take a pound or two, 170 pounds!

I have basically lost half my weight that I carried at one time. And yes, I do not miss that other guy. He was Fat as a Pig…

A whole me that no longer is on my back and I have to carry around to work and play all day…

Now it is reassess time. I have done what I had to do and yet I still am fat in areas and that may not ever change. I am struggling with what weight should I allow myself to get down to?

80 kilos is 175 pounds, give or take pounds. This kilo to pounds things is not an exact science in my eyes. Kilos sound so much less, but there is about 2.20462 pounds per kilo. Not exactly an easy instant conversion. So dropping 5 kilos is a whole bunch different than dropping 5 pounds as we do in the USA. That 10 pound drop for that summer bikini time is nothing. If you dropped 10 kilos (22 pounds)? Then you find that the numbers look more disheartening…

Since I know I am not 6’3″ anymore due to getting old and grouchy. I suspect I am more at 6’1″ now. Age does that and I will not get back that youthful height…

So what does my weight need to be at 6’1″? (Reality time!)

Regardless of height, I now fall into the safe category of weight and fat levels, muscle mass and whatnot’s are all in line, basically. That is the health issue that I want maintained…

At my bone structure? 75 kilos will be too thin and 85 kilos is to fat. So to reach 80 kilos may be the answer? For me?

I watched my dad at 50 years old try to crash course weight loss. It was to fast, to late and he did not make it. Died at 50. Too young. I learn from mistakes, even if they are not my own. For me this has been years of work and now I have to look at the reality that I cannot lose weight forever. I may always be working at staying at a certain weight, but I have to figure out the balance. that is the key, how do I switch this mindset of being a fat pig to staying stable and being just a grumpy bear?

My grandfather Stroud and I have said this before, was exactly whom I take after. He weighed around mid 300 pounds in youth and went to 175 pounds in his older age. That is exactly what I have done and the question I get asked is how did I do it?

The answer: We are what we eat!

That means that we have whole generations of humans in the world that are Fat Pigs and we as a society have promoted being Fat Pigs…

So simple: Eat like a pig? Look like a pig!

Sweetpea and her son went to the new fast food in Russia. It simply is the same as the old and when I asked Sveta what she had? As 90% of the time she ever went to McD’s she said, Fish Fillet! Except now it is called Fish Sandwich and she said it tasted exactly the same as before. Then when I asked about the name of the place? That is when I get the same from my Sweetpea as everyone who sees the name?

The working name for the new brand has been announced as ‘Vkusno & Tochka’…

Vkusno translates to Tasty and from there I get twenty answers for the next part…

Tochka translates as the period at the end of the sentence you just wrote (.)

“dot, point, period, full stop, full point”

So after talking to my Russian Expert, SweetPea?

I get nowhere farther and she just says Tasty and “that is it”!

So I decided to correct this “Whatchamacallit” issue…

The old McDonald’s is gone and ‘Vkusno & Tochka’ is now the new name. So Tasty and ‘blah blah’ does not work for me. nor as a business name. The name as with so much in Russia is backwards and that is that. It is Russia you know?

What they are saying is that the new McDonald’s called ‘Vkusno & Tochka’ is “Just a Tasty Place to Eat!” and that is it period! That should become for being easy to react on the great billboard of life type advertisement, “Just Tasty”…

Which easily means that our food is just tasty and delicious, Yummy!

Thus, it seems to be being called more often than not, ‘Tasty Period’ and I guess that works, except that means it is, “Just Tasty”! It is also called Delicious period, Delicious Dot, Tasty Dot and oh well. That is the key right there. Tasty is okay, but delicious is grand! Tasty is not a word to intermingle with delicious. Delicious is connotative to a much higher level of yummy, than just being tasty. You would not tell mamma her food is just tasty!

Mamma’s food is delicious!

My business senses scream when I machine translate and that is exactly what a billion Indians and Chinese will do as they travel to Russia for holidays. Many times it says, “Tasty and Dot”. Excuse me? I just wanna eat and not have to decipher what kind of food this place is gonna feed me? Is is delicious? Is it good? Why do I have to eat DOTS?

The name bothers me from a rational promotional point of view and if I question the name, then there is something wrong with the presentation of the name. I ran corporate food service for years and years and I have owned several very successful restaurants. I do know what I am talking about, even if you don’t care about what I am talking about…

From a Russian perspective? Since Russians are such a introvert society, it all works and they just go with the flow. Though they could have put a punch into the name as it is spoken…

‘Tasty Period’ should be ‘Just Tasty’ and that does not work as it should. ‘Just Tasty’ is still not expressive enough for a business. Then I woke this morning and decided to give my two cents worth on this subject. Sorry but the name irritates me. Thus I, whom no one cares to ask, have settled on what they did wrong?

Prosto Vkusno (Просто Вкусно) or my finale say in English…

“Simply Delicious” and or “Just Delicious” – the beginning is acceptable to have variants, the ending has to be delicious. What ever food they serve is delicious. Not just tasty, not just good, not just food, not just okay, but delicious!

That is a solid name for the new fast food in Russia. It brings forth the desire to eat and evokes the good feelings of wholesome foods! It also does not have a mile long list of variations to confuse the peasants. It simply is what it reads as, “Prosto Vkusno says, Simply Delicious” and the Chinese translating it, get the ideal that the food within is tasty, delicious, yummy and simple and basic. Just what someone traveling needs to understand…

Instead we have “Tasty Whatchamacallit”, because everyone has a different ending for the name!

And my Sweetpea went to try ‘Vkusno & Tochka’ and munched!

“How did it taste?”, I asked…

“Like McDonald’s”, she said…
