Word of the day Razwodnoid = Adjustable
Now I can ask for the adjustable wrench (razwodnoid kluch)

It was a great day with a poor ending. Sunny, 70 degrees and no work to do. Actually it was a long day. Since I had nothing to do, I wandered all over the place, pestered Randy in the truck garage until he wanted me to get greasy. Walked out into the field until Tony, John and Joe wanted me to help them. "Sorry I only do batch plant work" was my standard reply.

At 1:00 Irena (office secretary) asked if I wanted my flight out on Thursday confirmed and I told her yes. At 3:00 I spoke to her and she said I was booked on the 28th flight and at 5:00 Kirin, the project manager, stopped at the Batch plant container and told me my sentence was extended 7 days. His exact words (In your best Irish accent) "You’re stay’n another week - I don’t want this plant left to a bunch of Russian rookies" …Beth I think now is a good time to tell you not to pick me up at the airport Thursday night.

I think that covers it for today…I Love You Beth…Smooch, smooch.

Tomorrow we start pouring the New Berlin Wall (and not in Milwaukee)....building the "new" Berlin Wall with re-bar reinforcements.

All I can say is you'd better send some darn good stories and pictures during your next 7 days dear, or I'll be forced to post some of those pics of you and the other guys all "dressed up" for mom's 80th b-day a few years ago. And it won't be pretty. Well, actually, some may find you ALL pretty....

Maybe you should have given up the camera, too and you wouldn't have been detained. I recall the same thing happened to Shubornik, didn't it...?

P.S. "Nyet-camera" isn't so funny anymore, is it?
