Windows to Russia

Sooner than later, you’ll need to take a grocery bag full of the “Dollar $” in order to buy a McDonald combo meal:

If someone had said to me a long time ago…

That my teenage memories of picking a young gal up for a date (and after meeting her dad), filling the fuel tank on my car, eat at McDonald’s for two, go to the movies, buy popcorn – candy – drink for two, go to the county fair after the movie, all for less than five bucks (and I still had enough money to grab two bean burritos from Taco Bell after getting that gal home by 10 p.m. to keep her dad happy)…

If someone had said to me that one day that “$5 Dollars” would hardly buy a Big Mac!

I would have thought that they were stupid…

I have to say that there has been all kinds of speculation on Ukraine’s gas transit system and deliveries through this country. I would like to reiterate that under the contract we have to pump 40 billion cubic metres of gas through Ukraine’s gas transit system per year. In the first nine months of 2021, Gazprom increased its supplies, or should I say transit volumes through Ukraine, by more than eight percent. We have every right to believe that we will exceed our contractual obligations in terms of gas transit through Ukraine. Further increasing these volumes does not make economic sense for Gazprom, since costs will also be higher. It is much cheaper to supply gas using the new pipelines, saving us about $3 billion per year for the supply volumes in question. In addition, I would like to inform those who actually care about preserving the environment, instead of just using this as a political weapon, that the new pipelines that were launched over the past years or are about to become operational can reduce CO2 emissions 5.6 times thanks to their new equipment. Accordingly, supply volumes go up, while emissions go down. This has to do with the superior characteristics of these pipelines enabling them to pump gas at a higher pressure.Everyone must know this. – Source: Meeting on development of the energy industry • President of Russia

Mainly what has to be remembered is that the Ukraine gas pipeline is at max for its age and ability to safely carry gas. Ukraine has failed to upgrade its pipeline over the years and now it is a ticking time bomb waiting for the mistake to happen…

You should have all facts before pointing fingers and blaming all others…

Update:

“But one mustn’t increase it further. Everyone keeps hinting us: increase the supply through Ukraine even more. It is dangerous to increase it! The gas transit system there has not seen repairs for decades. If we increase the pressure, the pipe will probably just burst. Europe will be left without this route at all,” Putin noted.He explained that the wear of the Ukrainian gas transit system is above 80%.”Nobody wants to listen to and hear anything; everyone only seeks to accuse Russia of something,” the head of state concluded.

The peacefulness this morning was as during a slow rain shower. Except it is cold and the rain drops are thawing frost and the leaves are the fat rain drops weaving to the ground…

I sat and enjoyed the little monkey birds chirping and sipped a cup of hot coffee….I realized in the video that you can hear the fish guys emptying the lake of fish. That background roaring is water being pumped in a massive stream to aerate a small area of lake stuffed with lots of fish…

Good for the soul to just listen and watch…

Sammy The Volga Model is done and working out the shipping issues…

Sammy the Volga Cardboard Model…

I am waiting for some parts (three sensors) for Sammy the Volga to fix the startup idle issue since it got very cold outside….an issue that stems from work we had done and had to have redone….and still finding issues…

Poor Sammy the Volga…

 

I am waiting for a culvert pipe to be delivered from civilization to ten buck two, our Tiny Russian Village…

I am waiting for pigs to fly and put on lipstick…

I am waiting for world peace and harmony (Good Luck with that)…

I am waiting for my SweetPea to show up on the 18th of October…

Well that is my look, as I get everything done that I can do within my powers and then I have to wait. Actually, that is my happy face, you know, because I am waiting…

This is also the look I give when people tell me that I am a fake American living in Russia to promote propaganda!

Enjoy my happy face….look a pig flying, Oops no lipstick…

WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Democratic and Republican senators urged President Joe Biden on Tuesday to expel 300 Russian diplomats from the United States if Moscow does not issue more visas for Americans to represent Washington in Russia.

Here is a copy of the letter:

Letter to Biden.ssci-04oct21

Hmm….I remember when Obama, threw many Russian Diplomats out of the US, at Christmas time, five years ago!

Kinda pissed this morning; Good job America close those Russian Consulates…

Now we whine and throw tantrums for years because we lost access to our spy network in Moscow, owing to the fact that Russia actually retaliated to our aggression. If the USA tries to expel more, then they will lose even more of their “spies” over in the US Embassy in Moscow…

Here we go again and again and again…

Father Pavel and his Tiny Russian Village monastery project is a good thing. Svetochka and I support what is happening. At first we were conflicted, yet after all these years and seeing what is being done, the only way that TRV will survive is if the monastery rebuilds itself to actually that, a monastery again…

A visit to the monastery of St. Nicholas – Посещение святой обители святителя Николая

Before the village, before the school for the deaf, blind and dumb, before the monastery was destroyed in Soviet Times….there was a very special Female Monastery by itself upon our hill/mountain. Founded here because there was a natural water source and a holy water source nearby…

Gods Place: A Blessed Water Source…

If I was a rich man?

I would sink the millions of dollars that I don’t have and drive the rebuilding of the monastery to its former glory. I would even push to return to the female monastery status. Yet, that will not happen. Yet, we will give what we can and hope that more and more gets done…

Village / Monastery Images from the old days…

Our Village Monastery in Russia – The St. Nicholas Monastery…

There are very few places in the world that God is present. Man has destroyed so much and so raped the world in so many places. Man has lost so much that has been freely allowed to him and with all that man has lost his spiritual way…

The Tiny Russian Village is a place where God still speaks/acts/motivates freely and all we have to do is listen/feel…

This is even after the almost total destruction of this monastery by some very bad individuals at the past times…

I can honestly say that the elder spirits are at peace now at the old village and God still has his hand on guiding the place. Humans are not always good at listening. They even found the cemetery finally….they had whom I called a Preacher Boy before Bishop Mathew and then Father Pavel and Preacher Boy brought set backs upon TRV that took many years to straighten out…

The importance of TRV to me is paramount for many reasons. Sometimes the reasons are not clear to me and life pushes me away from the goal. Yet, I see what is and what can be at the Tiny Russian Village with its very unique monastery…

How did the world survive? I just woke to the end of the world and I missed it…

On Monday, users around the world reported a massive disruption in the activities of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Facebook, which owns these social networks and the messenger, confirmed information about the problems and assured that they are working to fix them. The global outage lasted more than 6,5 hours.

I missed it all and I did not get to have a conniption fit…

Oh Well!

Back to working around the Tiny Russian Village and hope that they go down permanently, so I can have my own conniption fit!

Took two days of burning nasty stuff and I have finally cleaned our small field of years of abuse. The neighbors love to toss everything over their back fence. You know! Vodka bottles, tree limbs, rusty buckets and what ever else catches their fancy…

Today I make three trips to their dump area near them and toss what they should have hauled there in the first place!

Also – Looking like the monastery will get its fence done soon…

My favorite political puppet is back: Sassy taken to Georgian jail (Mikheil Saakashvili)

And….oops it was better where I was at…

“Now, he (Saakashvili – TASS) is strongly requesting to be taken back to Ukraine. He has realized that he is in prison, in a difficult situation. He tells prison officials: ‘Bring me back to Ukraine immediately!’ You see the condition he is in. Why has he come here? Was he so naive to think we are blind here and nothing would follow his arrival?,” Garibashvili said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday he will personally engage in returning Georgia’s former president Mikheil Saakashvili back to Ukraine from a prison in Georgia as he holds a Ukrainian passport.

Why Sassy why?

Now they say at least six years in prison and it looks like now that they got him….they will file more charges…

Saakashvili is a interesting person and it is like the “Powers To Be” love to make him look stupid….he eats ties, starts wars and boldly crosses the Georgian border after he has been convicted and no one helps him. He is just doing what he is told. Sassy is a very abused Puppet for the West and I think it is unfair…really I do….I am not kidding, I like the guy. He is borderline stupid (maybe completely stupid) for the things he does, he pays for all his crappy actions and doings under orders of his bosses, yet so many times he is left constantly hanging out to dry by his handlers…

Sassy is a perfect example of embracing the wrong side of the political spectrum…

What the heck is this…

Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili and Ukrainian MP from the ruling Servant of the People party Liza Yasko have announced their relationship on Facebook earlier this evening.Yasko, 31, posted a video on her Facebook page with Saakashvili in which the ex-president of Georgia, who was detained by Georgian law enforcement just several hours ago, said that he had created a new family with Yasko……..Saakashvili until now has been officially married to Sandra Roelofs. The couple got married in 1993 in New York. An official announcement about their divorce has not been made yet.

So therefore the list is inconclusive, the papers are a lie and if you point fingers? Remember to look at yourself first…

Always ask why and look at the agenda!

~~ I know what happened: If they put the US leaders there would be no room left for the anyone else. You Know! Too much paper, ink, date space, keyboard strokes, battery power, labor, CPU cycles, whatever used to print/post the stupid thing….save resources… ~~
