Going to count my coins…
Today, I will count the coins! I am one of those savers of all coins. I did it in America and continue here in Russia. I use them for a rainy day and my rainy day has arrived….I need another dehydrator and they have one at the Church Village for 3000 rubles…
I have two drawers full literally and a center console in the car full. I know I can get very close to enough to buy that dehydrator and it is time. Tomorrow, I go to the big village and if I find a better deal at the Big Village, I will buy that. If not, then I will stop on the way back and buy the one at the Church Village. I have to do something to keep up with the thousands of apples, tomatoes and such!
Yesterday, I dried 40 tomatoes, two loaves of white bread and today 40 apples (with cinnamon and nutmeg!) I am stocking for the winter and I am running out of time. I will simply adjust the budget someway to replace the money. I like to have a nest egg, even a small one, for emergencies…

We have hundreds of our own tomatoes, but people keep giving me tomatoes out of appreciation as payment for things I do around the Tiny Russian Village. The people talk about how the village is coming back to life. That I have brought new ideas and desires, by living here in the Tiny Russian Village…
I thank them and take the reward, for to turn it down is an insult and even though I do not see what they see, I accept what is given and now I have to try to save what they give, instead of tossing it in the trash. I am by myself and can only eat so much. But I have found the way to store my food, for 5 to 10 years at a time. Dehydration is the key…
Money saved on not buying much food is what will pay for the new dehydrator. I even have 50 eggs right now and I am lucky that they store a long time….Still have maybe a 1000 apples to do. But will most likely rot before I get them all done…

Svetochka seems to love her grouchy bear, even when he is grouchy and that shows me how wonderful she is. She knows and sees through me and she knows I love her very much. Life has made me stern and or grouchy to many, but life is how we grow and develop. If you have had to put a young kid down, with explosives strapped to him! Then you would understand, that grouchy is preferred to insanity! I chose grouchy, grumble, cantankerous and asininity!
It is a far cry above “non compos mentis!”
Besides, under all that grouchy, is a smile face waiting to get out!

The west has reached a new low in the treatment of Russian Paralympic athletes. In fact, I have been stunned at how low they went. I thought the gutter was it and they proved that there is a lower spot to grovel to and start crap again…
Russia has been banned from the Paralympics in Rio and for no other reason than political. I have talked about how the Western Empire will destroy the world and you are seeing it in your lifetime. There are many ways to destroy things and the West has begun her decline and the death tentacles are slashing all around in the throes of collapse. As assassination is and being done even to supposed allies…
“Et Tu, Brute?”

Have a nice day, I gotta count coins…
