A 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.

Mohammad Ali Died…

Bye bye, Butterfly. RIP the greatest… Died at 74 and in my eyes, this ended the era of the greatest heavyweight boxing times… Lots of memories in Ali fights and I followed him to the end. He was a great statesman and tried to change life and make things better. His actions and deeds extended […]

Up at 4 a.m; smell that coffee…

Boza and I got up at 4 a.m. and after about a half an hour and a cup of coffee, we walked to the bell tower and Boza did his thing. He likes doing doggy functions at the bell tower. Then we walked home and watered the garden. Ten buckets later, everything was watered… I […]

I finally found the duckies…

Finally the ducks are starting to accept us and this morning they decided not to all run away. I have tried for weeks to get images of them and they have done nothing but run. This morning though, they all ignored Boza and I and they played in the duck pond… The back side of […]

Today I finish Water Pump on Volga…

I still have the fan shroud to put back on and clean up the car. Sammy the Volga is leak free now. The old water pump was a surprise when I pulled it off; it had been JB Welded for cracks and half packed with gasket sealer. Sammy never ran hot, but we had a […]

Svetochka is gone for now… :( but :)

Svetochka left Boza and I to fend for ourselves. Sveta came a the best time, Boza needed her and I needed help to care for Boza. Boza was very sick and Sveta came in perfect time to save the day… Sveta did two things that made all the difference in the world. Walked Boza and […]

Boza thanks you and so do we!

Life is a series of hills and mountains! We take them all as they come, but I noticed that a simple thing as a grain of sand or rock, in your shoes will send everything to hell in a hand basket quick. Boza, Sveta and I just emptied our shoes from the excess sand, as […]

Quiet Saturday, let Boza sleep…

Boza could not even get enough energy to even straw boss properly and he just gave up. Went to sleep and let us humans do our thing. After several hours of sleep outside, Boza went for a walk, with Svetochka. They went to the bottom of the hill and then Boza turned and came home. […]

Svetochka comes to town today! Yippy…

Tonight I will pick my sweety pie up from the Big Village. Svetochka will be here for about five days and enjoy the village life. I am so happy and I know Boza will be very glad to see her. I have to get somethings done today. Like do the dishes, vacuum the floor, change […]
