Good morning...
Ukraine has cut the flow of gas to the EU, shutting down one of the largest pipelines going through the country. Wonder if the EU will blame Russia for Ukraine's (Nulan's) actions? I bet so.
Russia is stll fulfilling it's contracts by shifting flow to other pipelines. Will they be cut off? Stay tuned.

Turned dry here, only 0.3" so far this month and none in sight until at least next Tuesday. Having to water the garden already. Oh well less disease and insects maybe?
Hope your chores are going well and all the boats are afloat!

Hey lookout
We are getting the wet from the sky that is missing you.
Still cool in the night time ~ 40's and windy around the clock.
Have the 54' in the water, finishing her up finally. She's going on a
ship to UK out of Baltimore next week. Bye bye.
Now it's full time push on the 46'. Got my cleaning gal back up
from Jamaica starting on that one, which is a big help.
Best regards ..

Very emotional Victory Day in Mariupol
The Russians finally get to openly celebrate this important date that has so much meaning for them due to the great sacrifice that is part of almost everyone's family history.

Good morning QMS. Thanks for the OT, great photo and
Classic Jam video.
Organizational day with chores and errands here, ever evolving attempt at getting stuff done without fixating on same while also keeping track of all my must do daily type stuff. Aggrh!
Too many balls in the air at one time for too long, but it looks to be winding down rsn, so I just need to maintain and remember all the routine everyday stuff.
Enough of that, sunny but cool, birds and floweers doing their thing, so everything's cool.
be well and have a good one
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
sounds cool
have never been a good juggler
when too many balls are air bound
most seem to fall down
hope the daily affairs stay afloat

Potpourri, a little bit
of this, a little bit of that. No scrambled eggs though. Thanks for the OT QMS.
Sounds as if you have cool temps compared to ours. We're hitting the triple digits already. Not as bad as Pakistan and India though. https://www.firstpost.com/india/imd-predicts-fresh-heatwave-spell-in-del...
Glen Greenwald on spending our money wisely (not).https://greenwald.substack.com/p/biden-wanted-33b-more-for-ukraine?s=r
Looks like it's dumpster-diving for the usians since our $ goes to those oh-so-nice war-mongers.
Hope you're doing well up there in your neck of the woods, have a good one.
Greenwald has been on fire lately.
