Windows to Russia

I was forced against the wall with attacks again coming from the USA. They tried to take me off-line a dozen times in the last week and many more before then. Part of surviving is an efficient website template and a cache system. I decided to step back to the basics and build a template from scratch and install a cache plugin…

The template for WordPress is called by me: “Coffee my Dear Watson!” (more…)

Yesterday our Volga got a surprise front end replacement?

I and Sveta had planned to buy a certain part and replace a certain part. This made sense to her and it was the way I did things back in America. We found a guy a few weeks ago who said that he would sell us the part we needed for 5000 rubles and take 5000 rubles to install it…

This was fair and actually cheaper than anyone else. Everyone would get the new bushings and a couple of small pieces and do the job. They were still fair in price and we almost had a few of them do the work. It just did not seem to congeal and the work never got done. Then along came a man told to us by my Village buddy (I call him Vova, almost like the car Volvo!), named Andrew. Andrew was a quiet man and works at the hospital in the big village. He is one of the drivers for the ambulances and on his day off he would do the work. He works 24 hours on and 24 hours off…

For 10,000 rubles, we had assumptions of replacing just the lower control arm of the driver’s side of the car and was happy to get it done for I did not have the equipment to do the job. Then when we got to his shade tree spot, that he works at, within the hospital grounds, we got a surprise…

He planned to drop the whole front end out of our car and he had already pulled the front end from one of his 5 donor cars (That you see next to ours in the top picture.) and swap it out. Twelve stubborn bolts later, out fell our front end and then it was time for a break (Sveta bought candy cars for everyone) and back to work…

Andrew and his dad working on our car…

This whole exercise caught us off guard, for I was close to doing the job myself and I was just going to rebuild the part that was bent. As it turned out, Andrew was a godsend and saved us much long-term issues, that would arise if the front had not been replaced. The front end that was installed in the front of our car came from the village, a village that never sees road salt or road deicer, such as we get in Moscow and Moscow area. Front ends, as well as body parts hardly corrode in the villages and we got almost a new complete piece of equipment. Which allowed him just to swap the thing out, which is a whole bunch easier as I could tell. The front end is definitely a modular device and as with almost everything on a Volga, it is designed to repair on the side of the road, if need be and be repaired with regular tools that anyone has…

The new front end is from a model 3110 Volga about 2004, so it was much newer than our 1999 Volga. We also are going to see about finding a much newer style front end and replace it again in a year or so. Our front end is a kingpin style suspension and we can bolt in a newer ball joint style suspension as easy as pie after this one went in. The truth is after all the work he did, the newer one would go in very easy now. Sammy the Volga fought him all the way, as all her bolts were corroded and many had to be broken and or torch cut…

All in all it was a fun and informative experience. I got to watch a very good shade tree mechanic at work and watched as he built and modified what tools he needed to do the job. I watched a man who knew everyone in the village and he knew who to go to to get parts that he needed…

Normally I do all my own work, so it was hard just to sit and watch, but I realized that this was out of my abilities, for a Volga is still a Russian car and my past is American cars and parts. This was better left to the guys who know about these cars…

Sveta had a blast and I explained everything they did to her. She like any good girl, listened and acted like she cared! What a girl I have and she is just plain wonderful. She called me today from Moscow, as her train arrived safely and now Boza and I are bachelors again…

At least our “Sammy the Volga” is safe to drive again…

Windows to Russia…

Alrighty Then!

Whether it was on purpose or not, the fact that America has run with the lies (about the Ukraine and Malaysia flight MH-17) and now backpedal faster than they ran amok in the first place, is telling of a psychotic issue in the America government. All of a sudden, out of the blue, the little stupid birdie shut his mouth and turned around and ran away…

Social media is the resource for the damning evidence. The evidence that America is using to try to start a war… (more…)

Written by Ron Paul:

Just days after the tragic crash of a Malaysian Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine, Western politicians and media joined together to gain the maximum propaganda value from the disaster. It had to be Russia; it had to be Putin, they said. President Obama held a press conference to claim – even before an investigation – that it was pro-Russian rebels in the region who were responsible. His ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, did the same at the UN Security Council – just one day after the crash!

While western media outlets rush to repeat government propaganda on the event, there are a few things they will not report.

They will not report that the crisis in Ukraine started late last year, when EU and US-supported protesters plotted the overthrow of the elected Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Without US-sponsored “regime change,” it is unlikely that hundreds would have been killed in the unrest that followed. Nor would the Malaysian Airlines crash have happened. (more…)

The image above is a sample of the messed up western media and the total fabricated lies being spread…

Putin did it and no one else!

Each bird is huge, with at least 6 feet plus wingspans. The heron is not a happy bird with this great eagle hunting so close. I have seen these eagles take down a heron from the sky and I am sure this heron has that in mind as he takes off and leaves the area for awhile…

Mom and Dad eagle have a Jr. and he or she has been taught to fly and hunt. It is very hard to get good pictures of these animals for they are very far away and if I get too close they leave. The herons and eagles have no desire to let me near them. The herons are thick as thieves and the eagles are the only ones I know about in the area. Eagles as I understand have territories and these eagles have a huge nest in the forest, that is used year after year…

This is the same eagle that grabbed a fat pigeon the other morning… (more…)

The sun peaked up over the hill behind me as I walked Boza and I turned to look at the sunrise. It was then that I realized the field behind me was a spiderweb haven. The morning dew was reflecting the sun beams and all I could see was millions of dewdrop sparkling spiderwebs. They were so thick, that they were on top each other. There was plants that had five or six webs each on them and all this appeared overnight. For I have walked this same path at sunrise many times… (more…)

Sveta’s train coming in and I embossed the image! Cool…

Last night I picked Sveta up from the train station in the big village. When we got home Boza was so happy and he wiggled and wiggled and wiggled to show his mom how happy he was. It is rough on a dog to have to put up with a big grouchy bear alone, now he has protection from the grouch… (more…)

This article is about Flight MH-17!

I received multiples of e-mails and they all asked basically the same two questions…

What do you think about the plane crash?

Who gains, if anyone?

I answered one of the e-mails questions above and then decided to post what I said and answer all the e-mails at once…

It came out of Ukraine (missile) and I think it was a terrible war time mistake. Who made that mistake is the question, that I hope is answered.

The blame in my eyes lays on, “Why the hell was a commercial airliner flying over Ukraine at all?”

For the answer to that question is the answer to the whole shoot and caboodle…

Ukraine is a damn war zone and major battles are happening there. Since when do we fly commercial airlines over a war zone when there is other routes? Did the East Ukraine have the capability? From what I understand, yes, they captured from the bungling West Ukraine a BUK missile system. So they had the means and most likely not the experience wherewithal, thus it could have been a mistake…

Then also yes the west could have done it, for they are just as inept as the east with these weapons… Thus it could have been a mistake…

Some think that it was attempt to assassinate Putin, for he was in the air at that time…

Of course I truly believe that the US has the most to gain, whether and either who or what did it. They will never let a chaos moment go without exploiting it to their advantage…

Bottom line in my eyes, “Who allowed the commercial airline to fly over a war zone!” a zone that has seen several planes recently shot out of the sky…

War sucks and in my time I saw men killed by friendly fire. It happens and will happen and that includes airliners flying where they should not be…

The truth will never be known and just as the last Malaysian jet that vanished off the face of the earth, just like no jet remains at the Pentagon on 911, just like and just like? This jet (Ukraine) left remains and this jet did not vanish and this jet is an awful lot like the other one that disappeared. The North Korean sub that sank a ship? The collapsing of the World Trade Centers? Israel attacking Gaza?

The most important issue is that; Now it all boils down to the fact that America has condemned Russia for it, no proof and as par for the course, America has become a country of “guilty until proven innocent!” So it matters not the truth, for we have sentenced the guilty by media, government and actions before the trial…

We do know how honest America’s word is? Right?

But who cares? For as Napoleon said, “In this life we are either kings or pawns; emperors or fools…”

But alas I am unable to confirm these words of wisdom by Napoleon and therefore, I believe he said it to endear my own soul…

As I post elsewhere in this website, I slept very little, for this act that has happened and the games being played with it are going to hasten our world to its demise. I hear people talk about Europe having a rough winter if Russia retaliates by gas!

I say, “We all are going to have a rough winter; “A nuclear winter,” said the little birdy!”

Wake up people…

Windows to Russia…

I went to bed at 2 a.m. and got up at 5 a.m. and that was that! I am awake and at 6:30 a.m. I am writing an article. This article is from an experience this morning as I walked the dog and that experience was the answer to a question that I had asked God…

I take life seriously and I take answers that life gives me seriously. I have seen a lot of death in my lifetime, much at my own hand, I take things like killing people for no reason as stupidity and I did a lot of stupidity in my life. But life has a pattern and we all follow that pattern whether we like it or not. For we are animals, like it or not… (more…)
