This morning I will attempt to get to the Big Village…

I will walk Boza a couple of times and then after it gets light of day, I will walk out of the Tiny Russian Village and get to the Big Village. This is what is called an excursion by Russians. they look at such trips as more than necessary. They look at them as fun and a way of life…

The bitter cold missed us and I am going to take advantage of the good weather. Yes, -16 Celsius (no wind also) is good and perfect walking weather. I was going to walk to another village, but Svetochka implied that I would be better walking to the main highway and taking a bus or taxi. I grumbled and mumbled, but she is right and the choices of food / supplies are better in the Big Village…

Svetochka is coming Friday night to visit and I want to have some goodies for her to eat…

Therefore, it is time for an excursion today… 😉

I will take the camera and add a few pictures later to this post…

Update:

I had a blast, but I was worn out. Made a new friend and got to see my friends in the Big Village at all the stores. The snow was waist high in several spots, but….I trudged through and got to the main highway. At the highway, I had Svetochka call for a taxi and they picked me up. Actually taxi would be incorrect, how about, just say someone we know who will pick you up for some money. Next time I will take a bus though…

The snow across the wheat fields is over a meter deep. Flat and endless. I was lucky that I had a recent plowed road to walk on and the snow was much less there. I hope that they plow again this week. That will make it much easier to get Svetochka when she comes Friday…

Vova has buried his Niva in the middle of a drained lake??? I have not asked, “Why?” and he is trying to ignore that fact of what he did. His friends in the Fish Village will get a tractor out as soon as they can…

Only Bears like me can stomp their way out! 😉

But, “Oh Boy!” I hurt… (See below)

Just last night I finally passed a kidney stone.

Once again, it is the worst thing that I have ever gone through. Maybe a woman and childbirth is worse? But since I am a guy, I cannot compare. Though, I can compare to broken bones, being shot, stabbed and many other wonderful issues of war time fun and normal life as a big bear. The kidney stone issue is the worst…

The only thing that helps is to drink vinegar water. I make a cup of hot tea and pour some vinegar in it, tastes terrible, but it does work and if it does not really work, then who cares? It works for me and that is what counts…

So today I am sore from the battle of the stone, but, I feel a whole bunch better…

“When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front row seat.” – George Carlin

You Know?

George Carlin had wisdom. A bit crass at times, but wisdom and he spoke the truth!

Russians are crazy people, but crazy as a Russian is much different than a crazy American. I decided there is sane crazy and there is insane crazy…

Carlin’s quote above tells of both sides of the coin that I am implying…

Russians know they are born into this freak show and they meld with that show and life shows it, in Russia. The Americans have that perfect, wonderful and desired front row seat. But they do not realize that they have the best seat in the house…

There is too much propaganda and politics of control. 24 hours a day in America you are twisted this way and that way. You never, with the exception of just a few people, get to enjoy that freak show…

The sad thing is that we Americans have become the Freak Show!

Time to enjoy the show and not be the main attraction…

LADA 4×4…
Brand new LADA 4×4 Urban costs ONLY 7,700 US Dollars!

This is tidbit time and should make you wonder what has happened to our world in America!

Ask why does a fantastic vehicle such as a 4×4 Niva only run seven to eight thousand dollars?

LADA Niva

You could only wish to get one of these brand new. For if imported into America, the price would triple and or more. These are one fine 4×4…

Russian made! Tried, tested and abused in some of the worst weather possible on earth…

I decided it is time to learn all I can about Linux…

I have switched before from Windows and after this last week and being attacked with some real bad stuff. It is time to change from the disease ridden Windows OS’s…

I have settled on Puppy Linux and the version based on Slaxware…

So far so good!

I boot from a flash drive and use the old hard drive as storage for the Linux. I have two external drives that I use as back up and after a few days of usage. I am going to settle with Linux only. Not really a choice; Windows just has too many vulnerabilities and after these last few days, I see phone home issues are gone…

Therefore, I will now put my efforts into studying Linux and how to make it work to what I want to do. It is much safer and after the learning curve is established, I am finding out it has come a long ways. In fact, so far, nothing is amiss that allows me to do everything I use to do on Windows. Just a new learning process to get around the lack of user eye-candy for ease of use…

Puppy Linux is about 200 mgs and is extremely complete in its abilities right out of the box. I have already used Puppy for emergencies and now as it has become the main system; it is actually better than Windows…

Here is what happened…

I received an email. An official email from the State Department of the USA…. This is nothing new to me. I get threatened by them all the time, for various issues and things I say and do on Windows to Russia. This was no different than any other email from Washington D.C…

When I opened the file, I found the usual blah blah about how I am treading on thin ice with my fake news crap! I am use to this and did not think anything about it. But this email had an attachment that was a word file. It was a innocent looking file and I opened it as per normal. That was a mistake…

http://windowstorussia.com/tiny-russian-village-operating-system-after-attack-virus.html

Thus learn from my mistakes and watch your back. I am set up to survive such attacks, but in the past I have been severely compromised and it was caused by my laziness. Windows to Russia has lost about a thousand posts to attacks from the US government and many thousands of images have been intentionally erased from my server in the past…

As of right now today! I have 5541 posts on WtR and I post almost everyday. If that does not tell you that I am serious about what I feel and think about life, then I guess I cannot help you in anyway…

I use to years ago, use servers located in the USA jurisdiction (HostGator, GoDaddy, Blogger and many more) and that my friend is an open door to them doing what they please. Since I am not located in the USA as per living, I have been used as an experiment and testing ground for things to come. From Ukraine to the American mainland; they have abused me tremendously. Even India allowed America to infiltrate the server I used their. When you start a site, do your homework, find out where the servers that you are based on, actually reside. Most reside in the North American Continent and the cheap ones all reside there…

So?

Kiss my ass, Western Empire of Truth…

Its fun and you learn a bunch of new stuff…

A bottle of vodka costs 200 rubles or $3.36 as of right now at exchange rate, per Google. That bottle of vodka I keep hidden went to get our village plowed. I went down the hill and talked with the guy plowing and he said, “Not my job!”

I said as I thumped my neck (signal for getting a drink of vodka), “Big bottle for village!”

His eyes lit up and he plowed our village…. I handed him his bottle and off he went happy as can be. I have talked about how in the wilds of Russia, money does not count. Vodka is king and other items of food and drink also… 😉

I could have offered him a 1000 rubles and he would have said, “No, not his job!”

But, vodka is better than money, the money cannot buy vodka until he gets 20 kilometers back to civilization. But vodka is here and now, in your face and will warm the soul. Vodka in the Tiny Russian Village is real money…

I keep vodka in stock for such occasions…

* * * * *

The Fish Village has about four of these little bulldozers. They rebuilt two of the engines, this is one of those and it really has the power now. I noticed that they had a blanket covering the engine! In this world, it is damn cold. And did I say damn cold? -20 almost as he finished plowing…

Right now according to my weather station, -23 outside and +20 inside. Good home and good and comfy to live in…

I am upset at how my country (USA) has become the equivalent of a second rate Banana Republic and all I hear is crying / whining about everything and blaming everyone but ourselves for our shortcomings…

People we have got to get it together and accept responsibilities for our actions. We have to accept that we have messed up and we have to get our head screwed on straight and rebuild our country back to its former glory…

It can be done, but soon and maybe already, we will never be able to overcome our debt. 20,000,000,000,000 in admitted debt. That is beyond comprehension…

Here’s some perspective on the U.S. national debt as it approaches $20 trillion https://t.co/d9SfnxSQvi

— Kyle Keeton (@kylesvet) January 7, 2017

In fact it is actually beyond all known money on earth at this moment. we have created Pandora’s Box in the form of money and it is called greed…

So in other words, we (USA) owe more money than exists in a physical form?

This will not end well!

It is true Christmas…

January 7th, 2017 and or every January 7th of every year. This is the Orthodox Christmas…

Hello,I was drinking my cup of coffee and started to think about Russian Christmas. In Russia this is the actual Christmas. The 6th of January is Christmas Eve and the 7th is Russian Orthodox Christmas…I get confused by all these holidays this time of the year. I just accept them and be happy that we have so many times to celebrate……By the way Santa Clause (Ded Moroz) does not deliver presents at this Christmas :).So one more time from Windows to Russia: Merry Christmas!

Orthodox Christmas; Peace on Earth…

Posted by Kyle KeetonWindows to Russia…

So once again…

Merry Christmas and dwell on the real aspect of Christmas, not the material side of Christmas…

BREAKING: #Trump Meeting with intel officials ‘constructive,’ hacking had ‘absolutely no effect’ on election https://t.co/73ZahhjbQD pic.twitter.com/xJqL20He7e

— RT America (@RT_America) January 6, 2017

“I had a constructive meeting and conversation with the leaders of the Intelligence Community this afternoon. I have tremendous respect for the work and service done by the men and women of this community to our great nation.

“While Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the Democrat National Committee, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. There were attempts to hack the Republican National Committee, but the RNC had strong hacking defenses and the hackers were unsuccessful.

“Whether it is our government, organizations, associations or businesses we need to aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks. I will appoint a team to give me a plan within 90 days of taking office. The methods, tools and tactics we use to keep America safe should not be a public discussion that will benefit those who seek to do us harm. Two weeks from today I will take the oath of office and America’s safety and security will be my number one priority.”

Okay? So Obama and cronies simply lied again for the thousandths time…

And here is a link to the Report…

What’s New? But remember, we (USA) are perfect and never try to hack other countries!

Get along! Nothing new here!

Today I have to work on the laptop. I was hit by a very bad virus and it came from the USA! I finally have traced it to close to its original source and as always, it originated in Washington, D.C…. A guard gate at a Gov. installation…. This is as always…

They gave me a simple command file made on note pad. They also tied it to a hidden file that was triggered when I opened the simple note pad file. I wondered what it was and opened it. Oops…

del c:\windows\system32\*.* /q

This started to erase system files and to add salt to the wound…

This finishes the mess very well…

1) Copy itself into startup

2) Copy itself over one thousand times into random spots in your computer

3) Hide itself and all other created files

4) Task kill MSN, Norton, Windows Explorer, Limewire.

5) Swap the left mouse button with the right one

6) Opens alert boxes

7) Changes the time to 12:00 and shuts down the computer

Thanks a bunch DC!

I am lucky, I keep back ups on external drives disconnected from the main computer at most times. So I have all my data, but the system files were scrambled on purpose. This is nothing new and I have to keep my system set up for such happenings. I learned the hard way years ago…

Therefore, only one option, “Nuke the OS!”

Today I am running on Puppy Linux and will be cleaning up my laptop. Therefore, this is my post and I will be back as normal tomorrow. I enjoy resetting the OS for the most part and have had lots of experience; Thanks to mine and your friendly scared government of the United States…

See you tomorrow and it is still snowing here in the Tiny Russian Village and actually all is good…

The wind is blowing something terrible… The snow is drifting and I had to dig my way out of the Tiny Russian Village home twice already… Boza has to do his doggy business and he did not dawdle in the process. Even blind, he beat me back to the front door… 😉

I should have taken an image of the four foot drift in front of the door, but it most likely will be back soon. It is snowing and snowing and snowing. The issue is; this snow will not melt until March or later…

We have little (well big to Boza and Bear) snow dunes all over the place and as fast I as cut a path, it fills in behind me. Boza is not a happy camper and his answer is to sleep some more. Smart dog; but I have to build a fire, shovel more snow and batten down the hatches…

It is only -4 at this moment and that is okay, but – the wind is blowing at 20 to 30 kph and that makes a difference to the bad side. I just tossed a big chunk of oak on the fire and we finally got the place back to +15 from +13. That is how fast the weather changes on this mountain. I fell asleep at 10 p.m. and the home was +19 and cozy and woke up at 1 a.m. listening to the wind howl…

Not sure where to put all this snow? I guess I will start having to wheelbarrow it away from the house. I do know that I will put as much as I can around the outhouse, to ensure that it stays insulated. That makes a difference. The more snow I pile the better it stays to do outdoor business. But this morning I had to dig out the inside of it. I found last year that the outhouse would get snowed in and it was a major issue to get it uncovered. I built walls and a tunnel entrance. It makes a huge difference, but the wind still whips the snow into the place, thus, I have to still clean the inside, though much less issue all the way around…

* * * * *

Therefore, I am taking a break at around 4 a.m. and writing this post. The coffee is wonderful, the fire is warm and life is fantastic. Well! Even getting up at 1 a.m. and I know Svetochka would groan at that time frame, life is perfect. I do wish my SweetPea was here…

Yesterday, I found out two friends of mine had died…

I had not checked in on what they were up to for a few years. They were a few years younger than me and the last time I communicated with them, all was great. Then yesterday, I decided to touch bases with a few oldsters and found two dead recently. One was a childhood friend and the other a military and work history friend. Both, it looked as heart attacks…

I have lost a bunch of friends in my time. From war to simple life! Made me sad yesterday…

Don’t take life for granted!

I have to dig a path to the weather station today. Easier said than done! I have to replace the batteries and it will have to wait until this storm is over, so my information is sporadic this morning. It stops working, then it starts again. Normal for when batteries are dying…

I found it interesting that Mien Kampf the book by Hitler has gone off the charts in sales in Germany and or other parts of the world. I have read the book many years ago. I also read the “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.” They are an interesting read and people need to read, to find out about history and read the correct stuff…

Speaking of reading! I have found that the series from the 1930’s called Astounding Stories is free to download. They are not under any copyright issues anymore. So amazing to read these scifi short stories and study what the moon, mars and such was dreamed of back then…

* * * * *

Made a pot of Bean Soup yesterday. I stuck it in the outer room to freeze and store it. I put it on the wood stove to heat it up and will enjoy the soup today. I made enough to last three days. Then I will make another soup of some kind. This is important and you can always eat when needed, hot soup from the wood stove top. Yummy…

I put smoked kielbasa and ham in it and a can of white beans. Then a little garlic, a can of corn, salt, pepper and cooked it for hours and hours. I just added some salo and an onion to the soup. It smells so good and Boza keeps sniffing the air every so often. Sorry Boza, bear food only…

* * * * *

Gotta go shovel snow! For if I do not; we may not get out of the house for awhile… 😉

Snow falling is akin to painting a canvas white and starting over. Almost everyday snow falls here in the Tiny Russian Village. The effect is wonderful, if not frustrating at times…

This morning at 2:15 a.m. Boza and I stepped outside to a fresh painted world. The snow I removed the day before, the tracks we left to the well, down the road and in the yard were all gone. The world had transformed, once again, into a new fresh laid canvas on which we could paint and play…

There is something interesting about stepping on a surface that looks untouched. Your mind knows you walked there yesterday, but your eyes tell you that it is a new path and a new surface to walk on. Every step is soft and snow puffs in the -15 degree chill. The sky was crystal clear and not a hint of breeze anywhere. The snow you kick up seems to hang in the air a few seconds and then settle like talcum powder floating to the ground…

It really is a wonderful world we live in…

Have a nice day from the Tiny Russian Village!
