Vova my buddy came down and said, “Give me your phone number!” I said, “I don’t know it!” I handed him my phone and said call your number from my phone. He said, “I don’t know it!” We looked at each other and as our brains tried to figure out how to get our phone […]

I was up early and still behind today, but I did build my bench out in the field yesterday. The bell is ringing right now and Boza is scared of that bell, so I decided to let him hide, while I write a post. The bell is one of the moist beautiful sounds in the […]

Constantly Ukraine, constantly murders and constantly abuses the Donbass area of Ukraine… Ukraine is sick! WtR

Vova came down and we had lunch. I had bought some pies from the pie shop and Vova and I shared them. He was happy and he even just drank water today. Then he was looking at our table and benches as he always does, then he grunted and grumbled and said he would be […]
