Никогда Не бросьте!
....easily translated as:
Никогда Не бросьте!
July 31, 2005
The plant started out running fine today. I asked if we could start pouring early today (8am), but Tony wanted to wait until after the break at 9:30am.
Needless to say, we were late for dinner again tonight, but made it down the hill by 7:45pm.
A lot of little glitches all day and the crew started to get frustrated and discouraged. As the day continued (along with the rain) they basically gave up. For those of you who know me, I don’t see that as an option and I finally blew up. Poor Luda – she was forced to translate my tirade!
Tomorrow is another day and only 2 more working days for me at Kupol. My room is looking like a Chinese laundry. I’m thankful for the private room this time.
Pray for the weather to clear so I can get out this week. Flights and hotel are confirmed, but the helicopter doesn’t have the latest equipment, so we need a clear day for them to get into Kupol and out of here!

"My room is looking like a Chinese laundry," what's that supposed to mean?

Get home soon. I heard the Siberian tigers begin to roam in August.
I have no idea how you get through your adventure. I think death row prisoners have it better. I will keep my fingers crossed for good weather for you to get out. Next time they ask you to come out, "Just Say No!"
