Windows to Russia

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 […]

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 […]
