Windows to RussiaA survivor of six heart attacks and a brain tumor, a grumpy bear of a man, whom has declared Russia as his new and wonderful home. His wife is a true Russian Sweet Pea of a girl and she puts up with this bear of a guy and keeps him in line.
Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.
Been there and looked at it many years ago….2010 was when Sveta and I looked at it. Roof has really collapsed now and it is in much worse shape. I find this blog interesting, for it is now a very long historical record for my life…
It still has not been forgotten by God, yet it seems that us humans have forgotten about it and while God is still there….we humans are long gone…
Sad actually…

Okay okay, what roads?
That is the point…
The roads on the screenshot are what the collage is about…
All you see are roads that lead to other villages, well at one time they did…

It is no secrete that I just simply love coffee and any news that tells me that sipping that cup of coffee is good for me, well that is good news, no matter what anyone else thinks…
A year after California considered putting cancer warning labels on coffee, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has given java a glowing review in the newly-released World Cancer Report 2020.Amidst the chapters about genetic and socioeconomic risk factors for cancer, the researchers of the report, released roughly every five years, noted that there is evidence suggesting coffee reduces the risk of certain cancers. “Recent research suggests that coffee consumption may lower the risk of liver cancer and endometrial cancer,” the authors wrote.

Now if we can just get a report that says, “Coffee will make you immortal!”
Someday, yes someday drinking coffee will make you live for ever. Maybe if I drink enough coffee, I can still function after my body dies. You know caffeine is a stimulant?
Okay, well I can dream…

It should be obvious that the USA Government has gone to totally “mad as a March hare” crazy….and I as you, should not accept this actions of a psychopathic country. It is time for the world to gather together and decide when and how to put the escaped mental patient back in the asylum. If we don’t? It is going to get much much worse…
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claims US is ready to punish countries that would not comply with the newly-returned sanctions. However, UK and France defied Washington, saying the relief agreed by Iran nuclear deal will remain.Pompeo announced the unilateral return of virtually all UN sanctions against Iran late on Saturday, hailing the development as “great news for peace in the region”. Virtually all @UN sanctions have returned on Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism and anti-Semitism. This includes a permanent extension of the arms embargo. This is great news for peace in the region! — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) September 20, 2020He went on, threatening any nation that refuses to comply with Washington on the matter with “consequences”, according to the official statement. If UN Member States fail to fulfill their obligations to implement these sanctions, the United States is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that Iran does not reap the benefits of UN-prohibited activity.Pompeo promised to announce measures against those who defy those “obligations”
(Again, I wonder who made Pompeo the USA president?)
I guess somewhere and someone sees this as necessary, yet all I see is a country (USA) that is jumping off the cliff feet first. That means we know that we are jumping off a cliff and have decided that is the course of action…
Dying Empires really suck and right now the world is watching an Empire die in real time…

One of the Tiny Russian Village homes…
Now I could see this being made into a movie with one of those slasher types running around chopping people up into little pieces and scattering the remains in the woods. I took this one morning at about 4 a.m., after I noticed that someone had tried to dig this home out from being buried alive. A few weeks ago you could not even tell there was a home at this spot…
I know, a good Zombie movie home…
Be a good home to try to buy. Has lots of potential. Small lot/land it sits on, but the home is still in good shape. The reason is? The roof! The roof is the key to any home and lasting. The roof that you see is probably the best that could have been put on at one time (Soviet) and the very few homes that have this roof, are in great shape…
This is a classic Tiny Russian Village home…. (Even the Apocalypse look!)

Not sure who to vote for. I made a big mistake and voted for Trump. I fell for the lies. But Biden is no better, the same and or worse is mundane at this point. As with Hillary you could get a grip on how terrible she was, yet between these two guys, it is like the front cover and the back cover on a book. Just put Trump’s picture on one side and Biden’s picture on the other opposite side and you have the same book no matter which way you read it. The system is very broken!

Finally the ground work is being laid to get Sammy fixed. This morning I will make one last slow and easy trip to the Big Village. I will gather money and drop the part money off at the shop in another small village on the way back….I have to stock up on food and whatnot’s, for the time frame for being done is the kicker…
Once the shop gets the parts, I will take Sammy to them and they will bring me to the Tiny Russian Village to wait until it gets done. Thus, I must be self-sufficient for at least two or three weeks. So, since nothing is set in stone, I will stock up today for the worst case situation…
10,000 rubles for all parts and 7,000 rubles for labor = 17,000 rubles ($226 at today’s rate.)
I will also stop at my favorite home supply store and get a few goodies to allow me to continue my projects. But, some projects have had to be put on hold until next year. Sammy’s clutch was unexpected and has taken money from Peter to pay Paul….so to say…
Therefore, this morning I will be busy as I do some creative financing and with Sveta’s help over the last few days, we will get the Volga done and back in good shape. The easiest way to make sure that information is being crisscrossed correctly is to have two Russians communicate. I get by very well in everyday transactions, yet when it comes to detailed things like automobiles, being smart is better than being stupid and assuming that what you say is accurate…
It is interesting, Sveta and I both remember when we did clutch work on the Volga and I am like, “But we had work done, why is the clutch a problem?”
Sammy the Volga was bought in 2009 and the clutch is one of the first things done. After looking up that info, I realize that we have had Sammy for all these years and time just flies. There has been a bunch of kilometers put on the clutch work that was done in Moscow and it is simply time to do it again….time does fly…
A Volga clutch is good for 40,000 to 100,000 kilometers, Varies by the driver and we have put that 100,000 kilometers on Sammy easily. So it is time, no matter how much it seems like yesterday that we had work done…
Gotta go and get ready to go to the Big Village…
Time Flies!

I am uncertain about how individuals can be reconditioned away from hate. I am unsure how one can be reconditioned away from Zionism, racial superiority, or sexual immorality, but if a solution is not found, America may face much more significant consequences than it is facing now, and it looks to be happening sooner rather than later…

With all the hype about TikTok and all the games being played…
I finally decided to see, “What the hell is TikTok?”…
Never seen TikTok before. Never cared. & Never will be back and wish I had never gone. After looking at what is considered top videos and more like just a glorified GIF, I decided that we are beyond help. TikTok is stupid as all get out and rivals YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for the award for destruction of humanity. I swear social media is a cancer….a mental and physical cancer…
Well now I can say that I have seen TikTok…
So Trump is messing up TikTok? Maybe, we should just shut down all social media in the world and get on with real life…
Whatever!

I am a tidbit grouchy this morning in the Tiny Russian Village:
Sammy the Volga has decided to show that she has a Clutch Throw Out Bearing going out. I suspected something a few weeks ago and after the last few days of testing and exploring what the chirping noise is when I engage the clutch, the throw out bearing is saying goodbye. Not a u-joint that I can replace, but something that I cannot do myself laying on the ground with no room to do it….and it will never make it to Moscow…
So now, I have to ease to the Big Village and go at a time that I do not like to go and get prices to replace the whole clutch. This is not something that you half-ass and do. When one part goes, replace the whole shebang…
So now, I have to adjust the budget, gather the prices, find a place (Svetochka helps at these times.) to do the job and be very patient. This is where the term (завтра) zavtra (tomorrow) comes into effect at its finest…
Cost will be okay for Volga parts are cheap. Finding someone to do it is a tidbit harder and it is okay also. Therefore, the issue is what damn tomorrow will I be able to get the job done and then how many tomorrows after they start will it take to be done?
It becomes a, call back in two days, we will have the pieces you need tomorrow, tomorrow and okay tomorrow, “Who will drive me back to the Tiny Russian Village?”, “Is vodka really an important part of putting in a clutch?”, then you know life is getting frustrating when you hear, “blizhaysheye budushcheye (ближайшее будущее)”, in the near future – tomorrow…
I like to say, “God smiled when he made Russians, for the word patience and tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow are one and the same!”
It is all good and makes me a stronger person… (?)
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!You’re only
A day
A way!
That calls for another cup of coffee and I think I will dig a few more post holes for the fences?
