This is the saga of TSA and the Siberia Gym.
September 8, 2005
Well decided to visit MOM. Good to she her but first things she says, is get a job and soon. I understand but when I was here for only 5 minutes and she started about a job. And then when I found my suitcases outside one day, well may be she does not want me around?

A done deal, my name is now Siberian American. Let's face it, I like kids and my former nickname was not too good.
July 29, 2005
Been thinking through, perhaps I should take the reindeer job, at least for a month or two. May be bring the gym over with the Nenets?
July 23, 2005
I have reached a major decision. My nickname, I am going to change it. I figure having >>>>>>>>>>> on my business cards is not a good thing to market myself.

The meaning of Russia. It is where you can work hard, save your money, build a life, and then lose it all by getting screwed by some businessman or the government.
The laugh it off and start all over. Do you think there is a market for reindeer sausage in the USA?
July 18, 2005
Okay no job, not much money. But who cares? I got a place if I want it working herding reindeer. But my girlfriend well she no way will she go.
July 11, 2005
People ask me if I liked working in Russia. Well definitely, they are great people to work with. But, and yes a big but, many Russian manager are bad. Frankly evil. And what makes them so bad, how they treat their own people. Normally treat them like dirt. Something I cannot stand.
I may be a jerk, but I treat the people who work for me well.
July 10, 2005
Well still looking for a job. Got some leads, but most are for unsavory jobs. Seems some people think I would be good as a bar bouncer or a reindeer herder. Herding reindeer is okay, but sure does not pay much. And lots of Mosquitoes.

Okay, so over a year with no info. Well folks, got off the plane in Houston and got dinged, redundant, axed, you name, I lost my JOB!!!!!! Seems my boss was afraid to tell me face to face in Russia. He knew I would be a little upset.
So I took a year off, yes one year off. Did not do anything with the site. But will start updating here in the next few weeks.
I know my fans are few, but I never forget them.

March 6, 2004 On my way leave on Lufthansa at in th afternoon.
March 5, 2004 Well vacation time is over. Back to Russia tomorrow.
March 4, 2004 And it got Ralph's approval. They showed him a picture and he ate it. They say that is a good sign. I am not too sure of that but hey go with the flow.
March 3, 2004 The Clan Chief approved it. He wanted it in brown but company says no.
March 2, 2004 And more details. It is an instant Chome. Comes in pieces you just pick up with a crane. Personally I am jus trying to figure out the door. How does it open? It is wider at the bottom than the top?
March 1, 2004
Okay folks there it is. The
new shop. I does look like a Chome does it not. Come on use your feelings.
Just look at the pointed structure. Blends in with the snow. I sent it to
the boss. He says go for it. So we are placing the order tomorrow. Still
have to get the Clan chief approval.
Feb 29, 2004 Sunday, I was bored. So I went to Church. Yes, to Church. After that the Kemah Boardwalk. Had a good time. Ran into some old oilfield buddies and raised a little hell.
Feb 28, 04 Houston is a little boring somehow. Compared to almost drowning and freezing to death it is dull. Actually thinking about going fishing. Or just creating some trouble. I could use some trouble or better yet action.
Feb 27, 04 The boss says I have 5 days to get this done. Okay, okay, but do not rush art!
Feb 26, 04 Well the initial design was bad, not bad really bad. Looked like an upside down ice cream cone. They said give them two days.
Feb 25, 04 We will have a preliminary design tomorrow. In Russia things are good. Weather is mild and business is going good. Going to move in a 4th unit. So really need the workshop.
Feb 24, 04 Mardi Gras, Galveston, nuff said!
Feb 23, 04 Mom says she still does not know about Florida. I told her no problem, I will be in Houston another week.
Feb 22, 04 Called our workshop supplier and arranged a visit. Explained what we wanted. He fell out of his chair laughing. I picked him up by his tie and explained that it is not funny. We have to design a shop that looks like a Chome. And it can not be white! He almost called the police, but he settled down. A million dollar contract is worth it.
Feb 21, 04 Well the boss says to stay in Houston. He wants the designed finally for the new workshop. I told him nobody here knows what a Chome is. He said explain it.
Feb 20, 04 Cooling my heels in Houston for a few more days. Mom is undecided what see will do, Florida or freezing at home. I think it is a no brainer, get away from the ice and snow.
Feb. 19, 04 I was a little "ticked". Until I remembered how I had kinda stolen all these pictures. Well not stolen just used without permission. Innocent, really and for the benefit of mankind.
February 18 04 Okay figured it out. I looks like all our pictures are listed in the image google search engine, and high. So people looking for pictures are reaching the site. It does us no good, as nobody is visiting the site, only looking at images.
February 17 04 Well you can plan to make the web work but the web will do what google wants. Okay hits are up above 250 per day. Why? Who knows, a mystery to me. The search word aurora borealis we are not ranked high, but getting hits from it.
Feb. 16, 04 Temperature is 60 degrees, here. But tonight 40. Time to go back to the real cold. May stop and see Mom. But she may head to Florida for a week or two. Will find out tomorrow.
Feb. 15, 04 Will fly back to Houston tomorrow. Time to do some work.
Feb, 14, 04 No Valentine for me. Thinking about Ralph the reindeer. Need to go and see him soon. Sure he is missing me. Business is good as it has warmed up in Russia.
Feb. 13, 04 The Boss says spend a few days. He called and checked on my story about going through the ice. He said, okay I should have sent a helicopter. So spend the money on a good time.
February 5 to 12 th, Sorry folks on vacation in Mexico, Cancun. It is great compared to Siberia. Well better than great, unbelievable after -50 to see +30 (90 degrees). It is a miracle as far as I am concerned. For a day or two thought I was going to die. 140 degree temperature change in a few days is a bit much.
But after burning for a few days started to get some color. You just do not realize how "white" you get after not being in the sun for a few months. Enjoyed the break have to fly back to the USA tomorrow unless I can think of some reason I have to stay.
February 5, 04 It was communicated to Mr. Moon and he thanked me. They also gave me a letter for free tickets to the Super Bowl in Jacksonville. So quite a trip. And the boss called. have to head back to Russia in the next few days. Well, I am going to Mexico for a few days. Adios Amigos. And the trip is free, paid by the Super Bowl committee!
February 4, 04 I had taken one keg up and was down on the floor level. When I saw two guys taking their clothes off. Okay, Janet Jackson had done what she did, but this did not look right. I walked over to the guys. The first one saw me coming and ran. The other guy grabbed him and put him in a head lock.
Boy did he raise a fuss. Next thing I know I had cops all around me. Thought they were going to arrest me. Next thing I know they are thanking me for collaring the guy. Seems he and his partner were going to streak together. The partner made it I stopped him.
February 3, 04 Well, I meet the guy at 1 PM. He said, look no ticket, but we have a job for you. Oh, and I wore my Siberia Gym shirt, that is how he found. Of course the only one with a shirt. You will get to see most of the game, if you do this job. I told him no problem, I will do anything to see the game, well almost anything. So we went in to the stadium, he gave me credentials to get in. Took an hour to get through security.
My Job was two things. First I was the security guard for the sky box that Mr. Moon was in. Seems his normal protection got sick the day before. Second, they ran out of beer kegs in our area. They asked me to hand carry two up from the bottom so did that.
But then it got interesting!
February 2, 04 Okay I got into the game. Yes I did it. I will tell you more tomorrow. It was not easy but I did it.
February 1, 04 Great party I meet Warren Moon, P. Diddy, and Janet Jackson to name a few. Mr. Moon almost got me. He started into the heavy football stuff, I was lost. Finally he said, "I understand once the season is over you just want to forget about playing right?" Me being an expert I agreed. Asked Mr. Moon about tickets, he said show up at the stadium early, 1 PM. and stand out front he will have somebody, meet me.
January 31, 04 Okay I wandered at the Main Event. At 6 foot 4 inches, 270 lbs people thought I was a football player. I admit I did not deny it. I said I was with the Seattle Seahawks, figured they are so far away nobody in Houston would know anybody on the team. So I get invited to a big party at the Vodka Club. Yes that is the name, for real. Just mingled with people and they all thought I was a football player.
I quickly found an internet connection and quickly reviewed the Seahawk's season. Their tough losses. Well I pulled it off. Got an invite to another party and may be tickets.
