It will be +10 today and no rain and or snow. Therefore, it is time to check all of Sammy’s thing’s and whatnot’s and get her ready to take a trip to the TRV (Tiny Russian Village). Sammy the Volga blew a radiator this winter in the extreme bitter cold we had and we just had a new radiator put in. Then the battery that was eleven years old died, so we also replaced the starter to be pro-active and we bit the bullet and install a new alternator to replace the alternator that was stolen years ago by the body work guys. A 120 amp alternator is now working good and I have the extra juice to do some additions, such as cooling fans and lights…

We also had a timing chain issue at the end of fall last year and that had a new chain and guides installed, plus a front timing case installed due to wearing and tearing. Thus Sammy has lots of new parts and today I will see how all these parts are doing. Are they playing together properly and or or they fighting like children do?

Oh and yes, time to change the oil and filter…

Now let us think. Around May 18th looks like a good day to leave. Give or take a day. Holidays are over. Unless the West decided to kill us all? It will be time to travel to the TRV…

Actually very sad that we have to include a thought about will we be here in even a week or so. A dying Empire of Chaos is not a good worldly happiness thingamajiggy…

PS: Speaking of thingamajiggy; I will be glad when the world can look back and having forgotten that the USA has a name and call the USA, you know that – thingy, thingummy, whatchamacallit, doofer country, doodah, whatsit, thingamabob, doohickey, dooberry, thingamajig, fricking country, damn country, and or that nasty country across the pond, what was it’s name?
