2:00 PM Done it again. The IVth time. Learned from the past. Last time i put way to much RTV by the two spots where it is asked for by design. I took the whole thing apart, cleaned it, put in the Felpro gasket which some sites say it fits and some don't but it looks identical with the one i had.

I used a box cutter blade to remove the RTV which BTW was very well solidified in there, was really hard to remove, i really don't understand why was still leaking and did some light scrathces on the surface, i really don't worry about those since they will be covered by RTV anyways.

The original gasket and all the otherrs i tried this has a series of holes in the joining area which created the bumps in the RTV probably meant to retain an uniform amount of RTV? The problem was the blade itself which i keep in a ceramic pot plant together with other stuff i frequently need. I know i used the blade the last time but today when i went at the car i noticed they were two of them stuck togehter by rust. Or maybe i had more than one in there. Whatever. It all took about an hour. There are abnout 18 bolts, 6 mm thread, 10 mm head, to take out and put back toghter.

9:26 I know some of what i'm gonna write here today may sound gross to some but i have to write it so people can really understand what i'm going through and the ways of the hidden door school and also to document and for me not to forget.

I have said many times before, shall not bend and disturb the superficial layer of dust covering the bulky poops of some cats after they unlike pets who are given certain amounts, they eat all they want and can in the buffet next balcony.

I would think traditionally cats would burry it in sand (being desert creatures) or soil, dust is not good enough. This way i have been breathing some fine irritating dust and some got into my esophagus. Also the dust that comes from the because of the vibration of that excavator across the alley.

Also was preparing a traditional type of liqueur out of frozen blueberries and grain alcohol by my own adaptation. Traditionally, it needs two months of maceration. I crushed the berries with no sugar added but until the alcohol gets well mixed with the berries, the strength of that liquid is above 40% and i tasted some of that.

It is good for digestive problems like diarrhea. I tasted it and indeed was very strong which also irritated my esophagus.

Angela is sick and very grumpy and constantly criticize everything i do.

30 or 25 years ago i taught her how to drive. Now when i drive with her she is constantly teaching me back with indications at every turn. Yesterday when i drove her to physical therapy (she is tired, did not sleep well in the last days for obvious reasons, including cat smell and bacteria) on rain and darkness at least a couple of times she told me to change lanes when i had a vehicle (waiting) in the blind spot. And i almost did.

She could not do the injection in the spine due to high BP in that day and she is in pain because of that and has to go to work.

She has a weird sounding cough which i attribute it again to the cats passing our balcony or door and dust and oil leak in the car (BTW i got the plastic snakes in the locker, don't know if it's gonna scare the stinky cats).

Yesterday i bought a big bag with frozen chicken breasts at Wellmart and put some in the little oven. Boiled some rice. Put those in a bowl and started to eat, being all aggravated and stuff. Standing in the kitchen in a hurry to finish cause i had stuff to do at the computer.

I started to hear some weird noises upstairs while i was chewing and swallowing. My stomach sphincter (chakra) got stuck (contracted) and i kept swallowing not knowing until my esophagus was full of food.

I know in situation like these food might go down if i take a sip of water but it was too full already and water only made it more painful.

Though a little buzzed with alcohol, i decided the only way to get rid is try to induce vomiting. There is always the risk of getting some stuff in your airways, especially if drunk. I would assume when your BP is high and you try to vomit you may blow some arteries (including inside the brain), i don't know, let me ask google etc.. But above all is very uncomfortable to say the least.

So over the next hour i tried 5 times with small amounts coming every time. Every time after, i tried to swallow a bit of water and from upstairs i was hearing the same frantic, muffled sounds and the sphincter would get closed again and again. Until there was nothing left in my esophagus and did not drink water anymore.

This morning the area was sore from the experience. I was in bed trying to remember things i did yesterday when my mind ran into something and started to think things inappropriate (opening the lover's gate i recon) and they started.

It would not stop until she left and those stomps and creeks blended into the beep across the alley (yest they started again, don't know what they're trying to accomplish with that little excavator, for more than 2 months now).

Should i had been less fit (those long walks, the relatively healthy diet really pay out) or lucky could not be here right now to write all these.

No wonder the Japanese folk attribute supernatural abilities to ninja. I think they are capable of remotely killing or at least heavily influencing someone with just sound and one may not even notice.

9:55 For the last 15 minutes there has been a loud blower blowing though it's not Wednesday.

10:03 Dropping a heavy object right before the second peson exiting the door upstairs. So it was him who left earlier though he usually leaves at 6:30. Like all previous occupants, they adjust their schedule according to needs. To have time for one more try this morning i recon.

But last days were special because they are pissed about what i just posted about whirls and stuff. The blowing sound moved further but i constantly hear it.

Thinking all the time of what i call "democracy paradox". I know they have approval from a large audience for what are doing here. But the large audience doesn't understand what is really happening and the subtle (hidden) ways they manipulate reality.

10:20 Walmart had find its own subtle ways of modifying reality too. They pump fat and broth in meat under pressure. Just tried some (with sips of water or coffee after every swallow).

That meat last night released one pound (16 ounces of it by cooking 2 pounds) of it in the tray below and the cookes lean meat tastes like chicken fat (got some left in the bag, will come with pictures next time). The weirdest tasting chicken i ever had. Gross.

10:27 Yes i know. They were three trays with cat food and now after i commented there's only one and there are peanuts for squirrels as well. There was a cat house and now there are two chairs.

But nobody ever sits on those chairs that replaced the cat house. I have not seen the old woman in at least six months. I saw instead the guy who lives in an apartment further away who acts like another carrying son (besides the one with the red Jeep who now is gone for about the same time the old woman is missing). 

10:45 No i don't live in Metzger which is like 5 miles away? That is the last IP address Ziplie gave to me.

11:00 Besides limiting searches by google mouse wheel scroll doesn't work anymore in blogger (by google) editing panel after i add pictures in html mode which is very annoying and time consuming. After adding at least one picture i have to scroll while editing with the little arrows or slider next to scroll bars.

So it has been 3 hours since i awoke and still dealing with "housekeeping issues". The beep is driving me nuts, i tried to record it, it comes to faint on the recording.

1:45 I recon it was a great opportunity for them to fix me after i bought that stuff from the liquor store.

And yes i once ingested by mistake a small amount of undiluted 190 proof (95%) alcohol and though it burnt my mouth, throat and esophagus (a bit) nothing else happened also because i had water handy and had a drink of water right after.

Grain alcohol (95%) is cheaper than the Paul Mason (40%) next to it and if you dilute it preferably with distilled water you can make 2.5 times the amount of 40% (or 50% if you like) of the purest vodka.  Can add some juniper flavor or wormwood and make gin or absinthe. Have a nice weekend everybody!

Yeah i remember that day years ago when i showed in Vegas with the other Elantra and everybody on the streets were carrying 2 ft long glasses in the shape of fuel bottles for NASCAR (without the bent part), just because i had some cherry or blueberry liqueur in 750 ml bottles with that EVERCLEAR label in the trunk and did some incredible mileage suggesting i was adding alcohol in the tank just to impress or something.

10:43 My microphone is broke and can't make google voice calls from my pc using a google voice number. While waiting for a microphone today i installed google voice app on the phone to make a phone call on wi-fi (and get 10 times less microwave exposure than cellular network).

So i turned on the wi-fi on the router (i normally use ethernet) by typing 192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar (the password for admin is on the bottom of the router) on 2.4 Ghz but after i installed google voice on the phone, something strange (and good) happened.

Google voice could not make a call until i set up wi-fi calling on the phone providing the address for emergency services. And then i tried and saw i can make phone calls with the phone app itself with my phone number while only on wi-fi only (with cellular network off that is) with far less exposure to microwave radiation (also saving battery).

The whole process took about 10 minutes and of course got enough wi-fi exposure to feel it in the sensitive areas (lap of course) exposed in the past to that d...n laptop.

2:39 AM I ran all day yesterday ozone in here, on the lowest setting until my face eyes and feet started to hurt so i stopped it. It was ok for some time and then i saw a shadow passing by the now shut blinds.

Now what could be the reason when the cats pass they come really close to the door?

In about 15 minutes everything in here started to stink really bad, especially the kitchen sink. I would assume they carry some virulent bacteria that gets in here in tiny amounts through small leaks around doors and then multiplies. Thinking about raising a little fence around the balcony using nylon mesh. Until then i layer the mesh on the balcony. I also ordered some toy snakes on Amazon that i intend to put there.

3:02 Yeah black cats are particularly good for this purpose cause their black fur blocks UV from sunlight. And yes they pass the front door when coming at the balcony to move to next balcony to get fed.

3:60 PM Google has started to give me a hard time while doing online face searches. They way i do it is i open one of the docs representing google sheets with the names of actors in order of birth year with link to a google search on images to any of them, using a browser extension that allow me to open @40 of those searches at a time, each in its own tab.

Until now it let me do about 10-20 x 40 face searches before starting to fuss about and ask me if i'm not a robot and stuff. If i answer that like 10 times within a minute or so, then it starts giving me puzzles, but not just one per search but two or three. Then if i wait a few hours it again let me do it. That was until a few days ago.

But starting then it does not want to do not even one batch of 40 searches, and it starts with those questions randomly in those 40 tabs so again if i start checking those boxes it ends with puzzles which takes some time each so i don't know what to do anymore.

8:29 

1:58 AM About a year ago T-mobile dropped both our accounts. They were 5 dollars a month accounts i bolstered a lot about. Unlimited voice and text, 500 megs of data. They were good for us cause we didn't need more. I myself barely use the phone, if ever.

They did not want to accept payments anymore after a problem with the auto pay credit card. Chase. Could not access the online accounts to change payment method either. Could not transfer the numbers of course.

So i went and bought new phones at Walmart. But the problem was we had to get new numbers. Because of that, trouble soon began with changing recovery and confirmation code numbers in all our accounts. Today i lost half day trying to recover my login.gov account and in the end i couldn't because, they said, i haven't used my new number enough to prove it was mine.

9:43 Din care cel dintâi sunt eu... Pisica. Apropo. Unde e darea de seamă a cheltuielilor bugetare pe ministere de anul trecut? (dreapta sus). Ce a făcut SRI cu 4.4 miliarde de lei?

9:50 I put a camera an old phone with an app at the window in balcony (floor to ceiling, 3/4 wall) to catch the cats and what i thought will happen already did. The guy with pony tail at Apt E4 came dressed in shorts, though temperature is 43 (6 Celsius).

However camera was aimed too low and the sensitivity is too low to catch him at that distance. I caught so far 2 cats passing right through the balcony in 10 minutes though. The smell i always thought was from poops is actually from the feral cats passing by (combined with the poops). Make that 3 cats.

They again started with the beep across the alley. I think it's been more than 2 months already. 4 cats.

5, 6 cats. The app quit working.

10:45 Though i saw more than 8 cats so far and heard the shutter sound each time i only found one picture of a cat. I think they move too fast and too close.

12:02 PM The app has several sensitivity levels. When on 1 it detects very little, when above 8 it gets started by opening and closing the main door (vibration). Then it keeps going on startled by the sound of its own alarm. However a cat just passed by and nothing happened. I will try another app.

A few minutes earlier. As that cat passed left to feed, it stopped for a minute next to the door while a diesel engine was shaking the building, letting the cat's kami to enter through tiny spaces by the door opened by vibration.

12:07 Weather radar shows a break in the rain, i think i will go for a long overdue walk, to get rid for an hour and a half of all kami.

11:12 Another cat passed and was not caught by the app. Sensitivity is set at 9, cause at 10 it keeps triggering by itself. The other app i downloaded now asks for money and i am not sure it's better.

Got to buy a physical one on Amazon. Maybe this one, but if i don't make my mind, the price will change.

5:00 PM Got 5 more different pictures of cats.

5:52 I replaced the bulb on the right side, resoldered on the left. Don't like the way i done it but have no alternative. There is this smoke outside that makes me dizzy and careless, combined with dog s...t smell.

In the end i tried to adjust the left headlight, a plane came very low, visible just in front of the buildings in the direction of the lights, as i was moving a black bag over one light or the other.

I took a look at the oil leak at the gasket. I added silicone seal maker and what is seen is what was squished outside. Yes i added a lot the third time but mostly on the outer side of the rubber gasket.

But half of it is now missing, it looks like it's been cut and then the plastic cover scraped with some tool. Now it leaks big time. For the first hundreds of miles from here to 7 feathers, Three Rivers and back, then once to Chinook Winds and back was a tiny leak, it lasted for about 500 miles.

Got to go under that bush and look for soft spots or where the smoke is coming from but it looks like i can't get rid of it. Every time i do something at the car, the familiar smoke comes.

Yes i know i touched a little on that cable on the left, no harm to the cable. Again because of smoke in that day too. I choose orange RTV because it was labeled high temperature, actually temperature there is not so high, however now i'm glad i did it cause is much visible against the black cover and gray aluminum.

6:15 Something is wrong with blogger editor, i can not scroll in the text with the mouse wheel, also got big problems with face searches, google is now limiting severely the amount of searches i can do.

Upstairs there was base for hours now it's stomping and dropping heavy objects.

1:20 Jan 8. Another hypothesis is the RTV is not oil resistant. I noticed there was a red color on the paper towels i used to wipe the oil, especially in the first days. I would think it could have been eaten by oil before it had time to cure.

Went at the car and grabbed the rtv tube from the (cardboard) toolbox in the trunk to see what i put in there. Now i got copper in the oil. Got to change it.

5:20 PM On December 15 i put a picture of a neighboring cat. I noticed many times in the past the cat entering under the balcony of the one level apartment.

A while ago i discovered the neighbor next door is feeding the stray cats. There are a number of trays on her porch always full with cat food. There was also a cat house. A number of cats from the neighborhood started to come and feed there. Then i saw a different cat going under that balcony. I figured it was stronger and bullied the first one out of there.

Then one day it was all stinking and i decided i should pick the leaves left behind by the landscapers for almost a month. For this purpose i bought a bag from Amazon, i already had a rack. After i gathered next to the other apartment i noticed a very bad smell i wrote about. Can't remember now but i believe the cat house was still there.

A few days ago i started to find the cat in the first picture sleeping on a piece of foam on our porch. First i moved the foam under a bush next to building and the cat moved there. Since i had this bag for picking leaves that resembled a tent, i thought maybe i should use it as a house for the poor cat, so i put the foam inside the bag and the bag under the bush. Last night was very cold. Today i didn't see the cat anymore and went and looked in the "tent". There was a very dense smoke outside but when i got inside in noticed the apartment filled with a smell of dirty laundry.

I know from experience that if someone leaves a piece of garbage, like a food wrap anywhere in the enclosed area behind our building, it all starts to smell.

Then i figured. The cat has a matted fur. It gave up licking (cleaning) self long time ago. The tent now stinks like ten homeless people put together. Just by going to look i brought that bacteria inside. Now my face is burning. Angela awoke. Everything stinks though i spent lots of time recently vacuuming, cleaning walls, doing laundry etc.. That cat is one of the big sources of problems around here.

Like in that day when i went to Indian Head casino and there was a homeless man in the bathroom. Though i just took a shower and changed all my clothes just before i drove there, the next day when i went to the ER i was stinking like hell.

I know they have cat shelters where they can at least wash it and give it back to me but i don't know if i'll survive long enough to contact them, make an appointment, borrow a trap, etc.. I think first thin i'm gonna do is move the "tent" under other bushes, but i know it won't stay there long. Tomorrow is landscape day and i know they will be very conscious and the cat will probably come back on my porch, after they remove the tent.

I know they have emergency numbers for people but they don't have for cats. Don't know what i'm gonna do, i'm in a bit of a crisis here.
The cat was living for years under that balcony.

8:55 Temperature outside. 45 degrees, typical for this time of the year. Humidity, 98%. It rains like it's the end of the world. Level of waters have risen by one inch.

After i finished the entry above, i was thinking. The cat did not run away when i last checked on it. I had a chance to either get rid of it or get rid of it simply by closing the lid on that bag. But for that, i needed some cooperation from authorities. Searched on google and found an emergency animal hospital in the area.

But for that i needed to call them. The guy from upstairs came home when i went to the computer to try again to make a google voice phone call. However, the mic quit working. I went to Angela's computer. The mic was working on Windows recorder but not on google voice.

Came back, now the computer would not display things on the monitor. Finally found the HDMI cable (i was on Display port, the cable that came with the computer). However i could not convince the thing to make a call so instead of calling (and expose myself to more microwaves) i just put the phone, wallet in my pocket and drove over there (a couple of miles i think).

Angela told me when she got home she got again a headlight warning on the display. I struggle for some time to make the low beam on left to work and last time it fell out of the headlight while i was driving to 7 feathers, projecting the light on the left concrete barrier after it got dark. Once there, i found beside the lamp was fallen, the connector i just soldered melted. But not in the soldering area. Then the connector became fused but still working with the new bulb.

But the warning this time was for the right low beam and Angela didn't realize that. Got two bulbs in the A locker today and wanted to cut the wires, resolder the left connector (the came in a pack of two), replace them both. However it rains like it's the end of the world.

But while i was driving i realized everything was slo-mo. Trouble keeping myself on the lane in the dark and rain, with little lane marking visibility. Got lost, finally found it.

So i got there and they gave me the number for animal control and after i insisted they gave the number for an emergency hospital that accept strays.

But in my way back here. Kept missing turns, got lost, found, lost again and then i realized. It was all from the smoke that came from outside. I always thought smoke comes from under that bush where the cat was now sleeping. Which could explain why the cat last time did not run away from me.

Got home, called that private clinic "that have a contract" "to accept strays" as the woman at the hospital said. Got into a conversation with an AI robot which however worked much better than customer service from India. She gave me a short assessment and said i should come with the cat (about 20 miles, 32 km) from here. However i was reluctant thinking i don't have two headlights and the one i have left could fail any second.

Went to check on the cat, thinking to move it with the tent under another bush, farther from here. I talked to Angela and asked her if she let me give the cat a bath and she declined. (what if the cat scratches me?)

However, the cat was not there anymore. I think the reason was the water levels raised all the way to the "floor" of the tent (picture above). Problem solved by itself. But how am i gonna know the cat would not come to sleep again in my balcony?

So i removed any piece of foam or plastic bag in a box from the balcony where she could sleep on (i don't think she likes to sleep on the wet, cold concrete). I took the tent and washed it in the tub. Had a couple of drinks, my head started to clear from the influence of that smoke.

Went to take the things i removed from balcony to the SW bin (the one accross is pretty full and like always there was a car with flashing lights in front of it). Passed the balcony of the one level apartment (last picture above) and felt the bad smell now coming from there.

Went to smoke a cigarette. A car stopped at the daycare?. Went in the back. The guys from upstairs left and shed their white LED headlights on me.

10:35 AM Woke up in the oily smell of dog and cat poop. Went outside. One of the two black with white chest cats (the really soiled, matted one) was sleeping on our porch and jumped, heavy, with a belly full of food from the next porch where there are three full trays. The beeping started again on the other side of the alley. Me and Angela both have diarrhea.

8:48 AM It became very active in the last few days. 12:05 PM I had something to do at the car (solder a new connector for the low beam), however i couldn't, but that i saw only when i took apart the lamp bulbs. Need to buy new low beam bulbs first.

12:05 PM Two 15 years old Latinos probably new around here were already playing socker on the other side of the alley. They undressed, one topless though temperature is 50 (10 Celsius) making big noises and making me nervous, i first removed the high beam by mistake, dropped the bulb inside the engine compartment, etc.. The guys upstairs went with the car and came back with the SUV ten minutes later.

10:25 As i was eating breakfast, i felt the smell of poop. I went outside, found a number on the ground, including one next to hydrant, close to our door, several unknotted in the dumpster. They were again (like they do on Sundays, holidays) shooting at the Tri County Gun club (open air apparently).

Was trying to figure how loud it was heard in downtown Tualatin or Sherwood since here was loud enough to shake some dust on me from the walls.

We are located on upper right next to Legacy hospital (H), more than 3 miles away and downtown Tualatin is in between.

10:28 Yesterday and the day before i gathered a number of up to 10 cat poops from near the garages south. In the last 10 minutes 3 cats passed the big window. They are waiting in line to be fed at the porch of the next apartment.

12:35 AM It looks like i found a way to take screenshots out of movies on any platform by taking (graphics) hardware acceleration off, whatever that means.

TNG S4:E5, last minute 

8:30 I noticed since yesterday lots of garbage bags and garbage on the wet ground next to the dumpster and a couple on the no dumping area. Especially the brown paper ones promote some sort of mold similar with smoke that is very irritating. Today is Thursday, when they usually pick the garbage but i doubt it will be today cause it's January 1st.

Found a few dog poops, one soft and one soft cat poop under the stairs.

2:50 Ok it looks like Aylwin did the unthinkable. They replace all the oblique planks in this section of the wall with the purpose of making a new setup with built in gaps. Today i went several times in there and every time a plane or a heavy vehicle (like the tan YOUCON) vibrated the building and the result was the inflamation of mainly my face, mostly exposed to the unnatural mineral dust inside.

I did not do the best pictures last time when i went. That was about 30 minutes from the previous time but they already had time to replenish the poops. I think i will go again to do the right one.

But as you can see, there is dust in the grooves and it is in the upper part of them showing clearly dust falling from between all of them.


Earlier i went with a sack and a glove and picked all the garbage fallen in front of the dumpster that was there since at least two days ago. No it did not fall when i was searching through the garbage for poops. The bags with poops are usually visible at the surface and that is for a reason. To spread the smell easily.


3:25 I had half tube of silicon and i went and caulked some of the biggest gaps i could reach with a two rungs stepper. Yes there was a through hole in on of the planks. But guess what. When i touched them with the nozzle, they move freely with a half inch play in places.

Then i stuck my finger in the holes at the sides of them and it went all the way in. Which means rain is getting in there also, on the right side. This design really puzzles me.

Deja vu. After they did the windows they put horizontal planks on top and above. Back then i added silicon again between planks as best as i could. But those planks were solid and there was a plastic sheet under.

But last summer they reconsidered and did it again as punishment for me going in the battle zone this time. I know they were required to put plastic over the insulation but who knows how well and if there are gaps and overlapping sheets that may let dust fall (not rain in).

5:10 Ok maybe they did not redo this section. I can see the same defects in the planks at this level. Then what changed that i perceive now more dust than in the past? Maybe the crazies learned the trick with vibrating that wall. The frequency that is.

7:05 VOC outside is over 3500. Got realy sick. Dizzy, blurred vision.

Earlier when i finished the cracks i saw blue smoke coming from that chimney towards us. An hour later was still there. Now it's dark but outside i'm getting VOC readings of over 3500 and inside 1500.

7:25 VOC slowly moving down to 500. Dizziness is subsiding.

8:30 VOC now inside in normal limits (green area, under 100). No more smoke smell outside. Got slow motor reactions (some difficulty typing), some cognitive slow down (everything feels slo-mo). I only had half beer today.

12:00 AM Roasted bell peppers, one of my favorite foods. Easy to prepare in the COSORI oven. Remove label, wash them, put them in a vertical position on a rack in middle of the oven (there is room for 9 or more depending on size) and set it on bake at 390 F for about 40 minutes.

Move them while hot and let them rest in a covered glass or ceramic vessel for about one hour. Do not throw the juice they let. Peel the fine peel, break in smaller pieces, add a bit of vinegar, oil, salt, diced onion. Serve with tomatoes and feta cheese. Makes a great side dish for roasted meat.

Another favorite. Roasted eggplants. Preparation is the same, if they are not fully ripe baking till softening will take more time.

After baking, pinch them, put them in an inclined position for an hour and throw the bitter juice. A bit more difficult to peel because they collapse when baked enough. Chop them on a nylon kitchen board with a heavier knife until they become a paste. Add salt, diced onion and oil and mix. They go well with the first one.

Just did 6 peppers and 2 eggplants in one single batch.

BTW i love the smell of roasted bell peppers. Yeah i know. I called them roasted and then instructed to set the oven on bake. That is because the oven does not have a roast setting.

Of course you can do this on a BBQ grill (until softening) faster, with a slightly better result or any other device that would produce the same result.

Romanian (Bulgarian, Serbian, etc.) zacusca, a preserve done traditionally in fall by dicing peeled roasted peppers and eggplants, adding sauteed onions and then boiling with tomato juice (for at least one hour) and then put it in sterilized heated jars.

Need to pour when both still boiling zacusca and the empty jars are at the same temperature for the jars not to break and then immediately add the sealing lids and it can last (and provide vitamins) all winter.

We reuse jars like from pickles.

Some call it vegetable caviar (great for parties) and by me it deserves the title though it may be better (and way cheaper and healthier).

Adding one aspirin per jar would increase chances of staying unchanged for a long time (months) but it may be just a myth.

And if you go to Romania please to not fall into the temptation of buying the stuff from the (mostly corporate) shelves over there. The real thing can only be tasted at families who made it for themselves. 

4:33 PM Angela slept today all day which only happened once this year (for her to get enough or extra sleep). Her BP is 133/71 (on the same 20 mg of lisinopril).

An incredible thick smoke outside (the AEther analogy) makes us both yell at each other.

4:47 What in Sam Hill?

12:27 AM Again frustrated by planes making a big noise. Just realized all the places i lived in (Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, are in the path of planes coming to land at PDX. I recon  they align the planes above the least populated area so they avoid noise for most. But when i was in Lake Oswego they came right above. Now they pass there a few miles to the left, would not have seen that many during my walks.

I am curious to see how far their archive go.

Also intrigued by the coincidence of number of pixels of width of my pictures on the blog (720) and the projected deficit of Romania's budget (7.2). Video best seen on PC on full screen mode.


10:00 Woke up with big pains in my whole body including back. Having trouble to type because my fingers are stiff with inflammation. Angela got back pain as well. I think i figured the reason we both had so big blood pressure yesterday and whole body inflammation today.

12:00 PM @10 i went and looked at what i've done last night. I covered the big crack though with much silicon excess. So i took an 8 ft long piece of wood (like this but thinner, 3/8 in. x 1-1/2 in) with a metal blade attached and trimmed the excess.

However when i took this picture i realized the crack is much longer and there is no way i can reach there to fix it except with a longer ladder or a special tool. I also believe water from rain will get or already got inside the wall (it rained a lot lately) creating mold that would be expelled together with the dust in occasions like hammering the walls inside.

As i said, they installed new carpet at that apartment. For those not familiar with this unique to US type of carpet and its installation,  here is a video. It all starts with a 3/8 inch (one cm) thick padding made from recycled materials, glued (held) together with one of the slinkiest glues that exist, also antibacterial). There is a so called "tack" with upward nails along side the wall.

And then there is the "knee-kick" tool that is used to both stretch the carpet and sink it in the nails.

So this is what they did yesterday morning, they hit the walls for hours, pumping mold and dust through that crack Debris from the old carpet were deposited on the ground  and the wind was blowing from that direction.. Angela had the appointment at one and we both had extraordinary high blood pressure.

Question that may arise in the mind of non US people is how do you (ever) clean this thing. They have tools for that. Vans equipped with very powerful vacuum machines together with steam generators.

They pump steam in the carpet and they vacuum it in the same time. Those vacuum machines have their own gasoline powered engine and are very loud, in excess of 100 dB near it and stay outside while long hoses are used and the whole job can last one hour, depending on the size of the house and can cost up to 100 dollars per room.

But then there are non professional ones, good enough for the use of a family. They have two one gallon reservoirs and they spray warm water with detergent in the carpet and then vacuum (about 50-75%) of it. Work pretty well but you can only do it once or twice a year, mostly during summer, so you can keep windows open and it will dry in about 24-48 hours.

Even with steam cleaning, carpet needs drying for at least 24  hours.

How clean? Steam cleaning is usually done in one or two passes, while with wet vacuuming you can do as many as you want, the final amount of residual water will be the same and you can instantly see how dirty is the water that comes because the sole of the machine is transparent.

9:05 AM after i have been gone for 4 days went and picked what i missed last night, some fresh ones, totaling @8 pounds or up to 40 poops. But when i was away i was not s...t free. At 7 feathers i could beat the stink in the bathroom with UV.

At Three Rivers they gave us a room with broken toilet seat (missing caulking, like it has been removed) that was also moving when sitting on, obviously breaking the seal (possibly wax ring) every time. It was only the second day i figured it out and put some tape around the base of the seat (room 217).

While i was picking those they started to divert flights to PDX in this area.

2:43 PM Alwin Construction.

2:45 PM I drove Angela to Orthopedic and Fractures Specialists on Barnes Rd. She was scheduled for a procedure called X-ray guided steroid injection in her spine meant to fix a dix bulge. However they did not do the procedure because her BP was too high.

Usually when she gets from work she measures these days high 150s / lows 80s. Today she was over 200 / over 100. About a month ago she underwent a similar procedure for a bursitis, only ultrasound guided and they did not take her BP.

That is because she shared the environment with me 24/7 within last  week or so.

Besides dog poops which raise my BP, there are other pollutants like insulation dust, noises, etc.. Last night when i got home i coughed for hours.

Last summer, after torturing me with noise for several months, when they finished they left cracks in the wall opposed to where we're at. I believe that wall, like the one next to our bedroom window was ok, siding was done several years ago, there was a hole in the wall in a low position, but "rebuilt" the whole wall, this time leaving major cracks.

When exposed to that dust my face and hands also get swollen. I usually go in there to pick the poops and in that very moment, they either start a big exhaust vehicle, or even divert noisy planes over the area, like this morning.

The idea is they (Catholics, Dominicans, satanists, ninja) want to raise my BP through known (to them) means so maybe i will have a stroke, maybe brain surgery, to fulfill what they believe is the Bible prophecy. Though i don't understand about satanists, they should not want the apocalypse to come over them.

I went about a month ago with a short ladder and climbed with the risk of falling and filled one big gap with silicon under that horizontal plank but did not see the other (vertical) one on the right side.

After they staged the scene with the midget who was living there and me losing that phone, the midget moved out and ever since they are working at that apartment. Every time they hit something in there more dust is falling through that missed crack.

Today they came to change the carpet in there. I was too tired though and fell asleep but i remember hearing the hammering, just before. Angela had the bad idea to drink a (real) coffee and that topped it and because of it she missed the procedure.

I am surprised though they did not check her blood pressure in the day of consultation and scheduling. Her BP, about 15 minutes after we got here was 178/84 is, dropping from over 200/100 in the first minutes. At the clinic today they did the same, took it several times, but did not drop. I suspect manipulation with noises. They were slammed doors in there all the time.

3:03 We have a fruit basket next to our couch. Every month or so Angela finds a (half) rotten orange in there. It was part of the smell that hit me when i got home yesterday. Alternately, we find a half rotten potato in the cabinet.

Aylwin Construction. I wish all of them go through what i went through last summer for the same amount of time, after, to this day.

3:13 They just got here upstairs. Would never understand their schedule. Angela says there is no car in their spot.

4:10 After coffee wearing out, one drink, Angela's BP now is 152/78.

5:15 Checked mine after i relaxed here reading the news. 156/91 though i was too over 200 when we got home. But i'm sure it can go lower cause Angela got me mad excited when she told me to cook the chicken and do mashed potatoes.

5:43 This is 4 ft away from were she sleeps, 8 from where i sleep. It's coming from the floor, but have not seen that in other years. Must have gotten worse in the basement. Today she had this idea and pulled the clothes from there. Upstairs they did laundry yesterday and today. The fiberboard layer of the floor (on top of the planks seen in pictures has bulged in several places.

9:10

11:25 Done it. Had a couple of drinks for courage. Covered about 80% of that crack. Did not have the courage to climb on the last rung (top) of the ladder, also because my foot did not have enough room (too close to wall).

There is a small guy with a huge newer truck (lots of the good working people around here have them) who always come and park there when i go for poops, no matter what hour. Like he knows. Like he stands somewhere around a corner and just shows. I looked at his LPN and then i saw he doesn't have one in the rear. Several planes passed, making a huge roar.
