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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.

In 2014 (at the beginnings of this blog) after a post where i shown my frustration about some of the public persons were looking like (Hungarian) an ex-colleague (or someone in his name) sent me the pictures which some i made myself or by someone else with my camera, and i did a post with the name of my HS as title showing the resemblance of some of them with known celebrities.
One day in the summer of (let me think) 77 i guess, towards the end of the school year she came to me and started to ask me how come i did not have a girlfriend bla bla and she said i should took towards the little gees in the first year who could be an easy catch for me.
During the days of June and even before i was spending lots of time with 3 other guys from the class, also present in the picture, of which one was the great John Travolta himself at the public pool (behind the Unirii palace in Iași). There was an Olympic size pool and a smaller one.
The days after they changed the water were best (though water was coldest)(they did not have filter and stuff and hundreds of people were getting there every day)
I turned she was from the first year at Tehnoton and she became my two days girlfriend. The next day we went to a movie (Silver Streak) and in the Botanical Garden. Then i went home in Câmpulung, exchanged letters with her all summer long and in the fall at school she dumped me, saying it was her math teacher who prohibited the relationship. But now that i think i don't remember seeing her again and she left that HS at the end of that year.
8:53 The TV in the room does not accept HDMI input anymore. I put the same cable at the computer and it works.
I taped everything and went inside the casino to breath some air. In there, among several old guys with white long bears when i was about to leave something blocked my way towards the elevators and turned around and i saw a guy looking like mr.Z who went to play at the craps table, standing in my view. He looked distraught and ill, worse than me. It could be the (dead) actor playing him was tortured to do what he is doing, pretty much like me.
When i got back i discovered some of the tape has been removed. I put it back but stopped the AC altogether. Finally put a mask on my face, but i am coughing due to that dust, especially after i smoke.
Other than that. It is my perception there are very few people in the hotel (though they told me it was full when i wanted to change the room). However those few manage to slam doors synched with my emotions (reactions) as i try to watch movies on my computer's monitor, sending in the room waves of that pollution coming from wall and around the toilet seat.
It could be they evolved from the old fashion psycho meter to something remote. I am nauseated, have chills and i am in pain because of insulation dust and i shake. I count every breath. My BP is too the roof, just took a lisinopril.
Friday, December 26, 2025
12:11 AM In the doctor's office by BP was 158/88 without taking lisinopril for days. After that i took lisinopril 20 mg for three straight days and my BP right now is 200/100. I believe is from doors slamming in a synchronized way, exactly like they do noises at the apartment but here the sound is much stronger.
8:05 We're at the 5th floor in the hotel @7 feathers in Canyonville Oregon. Got awakened by door slamming. Somebody somewhere near the hotel started a fireplace fire, some got inside and i was sneezing for like 5 minutes.
8:08 Nu știu alții cum sunt dar pe mine m-a lovit ieri seară un dor puternic de România. Mă gândeam. 30 de ani. Pentru ce? Azi dimineață însă am citit știrile, oh boy.


8:37


We were for 2 (free) nights at the 7 feathers hotel in Canyonville. I was really scared when i got there not to be able to sleep, being that tired. Was sick from eating molded ciabatta. I slept however but only with earplugs. But the second night i did put earplugs on and slept only 5 hours.
I will write more about but i have to write something else now. Got here at the Three Rivers hotel and for an entire hour now i hear noises there as from housekeeping. I went upstairs to figure if the were maids but the door was closed and there was this gentlemen with room delivery asking me if there was a a problem and the he said probably the maids but the door was closed.
Angela made a salad but my nose is now itching from the dust and i know that if i was to eat i will get sick right away.
When we first got here, at 4:30 like last time, they said they don't have the room ready. You can't ask much when they give you a free room (though at 7 feathers Angela paid fully, by her losses at the games), Then Angela gave them the phone number. Then i made a mistake. I lighted a cigarette like 30 ft in front of the motel and somebody right away shut their window.
In that instant Angela's phone rang and they said the room at 3 (that was not ready) is next to utilities and they have one ready at 2. There was a maid working at the next room and they were noises for a while. But then the noises moved upstairs and never stopped since.
She sent two security guys upstairs (i saw them) and then i heard the same type of noise on the hallway upstairs as i came here. Inside was more quiet for about 5 minutes but they started over.
6:56 Maybe they are trying to make me forget what happened at the gas station in Canyonville. I thought i saw an old buck i posted about a few days ago.
They were lines, i chose the shortest. He was at the first pump trying for like 5 minutes to pull a card out of his wallet. A much younger, tall, strong built woman (probably his bodyguard) came out of the passenger side and did a short show then she went back in that tan Nissan mini-van or SUV with California LPN.
The guy in front of him, taller with a longer also white beard, left and i went around at the second (closest to convenience store) pump and finished before him and left.
Covered by my car's very thick window frame came a woman from the convenience store, i thought i saw a piece of her and stopped while Angela was yelling.
The drive was quite ok till Coos Bay, with few cars and no problems. But after there, they started what they do. Push me from behind, popping in front and stinking. Especially the guy towing a boat. A big old pickup, was stinking uphill. I tried to pass him, he started to race me. I finally did but then he started to tailgate me really bad with high beam on. At some point i started to have a headache because of exhaust and got very tired in the end of the trip because of it.
7:06 Trying to imagine what are they doing upstairs. Like at the apartment, have no clue. What people do in a hotel room. Walk, talk, watch TV, eat, drink, party. None of these. There are endless, incessant random stumps.
I could not help but notice the smell of the carpet in the casino but when we got back on the hallway of our level, i noticed they used earlier a deodorant. So they did in the room. I went in the restroom where t here is ozone from my UV lamp and when i got back in the room i realized it smelled pretty much like the one at 7 feathers. But there i let the UV in the room for a couple of hours.
Shock waves by stomping mixes the air in the room and brings to one the bad smells from the floor, dust from picture frames and light shades, etc.,
They knew my behavior. I looked behind the TV stand for plugs for my pc and monitor. So i moved the thing a couple of inches and found an extender with 3 free plugs but accidentally i unplugged it. Then i could not plug it back so i went to the car to grab the flashlight. Then i finally plugged the extender and moved that thing back. Then
At 7 feathers the TV wall fixture allows to move the TV from the wall and look for HDMI plugs. At Reno they even have a hanging an HDMI extender hanging from behind the TV. So i can hook it to the computer and watch paramount. But here it is not accessible and my little flashlight which was charging all night is now without power though i haven't use it much.

5:30 PM Angela bought Monday 22 around 1:40 when she came from work some... Cranberry ciabatta at reduced price. She put them in the freezer in that day and took them with us. At home i was putting them in the toaster but i saw they have green and thought it was some other fruit (haven't seen the label). They thawed on the road and we ate them here. I was sick with diarrhea yesterday. Today i realized they taste like mold.
Other than that, every time i come here and stay alone in the room i get very high blood pressure episode, today due to the very irritant barely perceived smoke outside (i call it ninja smoke as it may be from the recopies found in the book of ninja) and synchronized slammed doors (with my typing and posting activities)
Could it be Fredy Meyer now owned by Kroger (an Arian store) and in fact at the highest level owned by ninja have retaliated on me after i posted about this? (can't find where right now but i know it was on December 22).

7:40 But let's look at the bright side. The whole episode cleaned my bowel. The pressure i was feeling on my heart for days if not weeks is mostly gone. My BS and probably BP is gone.

1:17 AM For Lantus insulin high dosage starts when you take your body weight in kg by 0.5 units. In my case, at 106 (108 on the scale today minus to pounds shoes and jeans) high would be 53 units and my currently prescribed dose is 46.
Ever since i started insulin i could not reduce my BS under 160 and that was in rare instances. This, as the pharmacist said at our last appointment qualifies as insulin resistance.
In my case i noticed no improvement over 35 units. I also noticed when i went beyond 35 that my BP increased significantly and BP medicine had no noticeable effect.

So i took my BP and it was over 200 with over 100 and i took 20 mg of lisinopryl (from an ER prescription), the same i was given at the ER when i went last time with a similar episode.
Then i realized there was some very irritating smoke in the air, and there was an engine revving in the distance (pretty much like the one which awoke Angela at 5 AM today). Then i used a nose decongestant and started to breath better.
Then i layed in bed and the high BP would not go away and i finally fell asleep and awoke in the middle of a nightmare with again high BP.
11:53 I, android.
After (binge) watching three seasons of TNG and well into the third, i was



Few people, all getting in my pictures everywhere which delayed me. Cheer up, Merry Christmas!

10:30 AM Surprise. They came to blow the leaves today instead of Wednesday. Just when i heated my Michelina in the mw. That means one to one and a half hours of 60-70 dB inside.
10:45 Just realized yesterday i made a huge mistake. Instead of searching for LaVey in the range of his birthyear (30) - 4, i did it started with 37. Not even 36 as would have been normal. And found this ballet dancer, right away. Could had been such a luck i found the right guy by mistake? Now searching the correct range, did not find anything so far except for a guy who looks normal. No makeup, no goatee, just glasses.
Ok there's something here. (Much) bigger, distinctive ears. 1926.

1:55 PM 30 years ago, one sunny December day the manager (Tom Barwick) asked me to clean the paint of those windows in the bulk section. It was still fall related colors. I tried with a box cutter blade and would have taken me weeks to do it.
But then i brought some warm water to clean the peeled paint from the glass and... voila! any paint touched with warm water would peel away like it was not there and then i finished in a few hours. From all the people there i believe Liviu Gorea (probably Dragnea), my colleague could confirm.
A few days later after i moved to Vancouver, hoping to get a job at Kyocera (which i finally did, 5 years later) my car broke and Tom fired me over the phone (i missed one or two days before that). I also missed the interview at AVX near the apartment because Tom would not give me a few hours off, so here i was, freshly moved in an apartment in Vancouver (Washington, across the Columbia river from Portland, not to be confused with BC), without a job.
Had no idea Nelu Ciorbă, a tech who promised me a job there, was Viktor Orban.
Back at Sheridan. The interesting part about that place was the building behind it, at Oak and 3rd. While i was working there somebody told me in that building was the Satanic Church of Portland.
There was this guy who once came at the store and stood in front of me while i was kneeling to arrange cans on some shelves. All dressed in black, with a goatee and walking like a goat (pretty much like in this very moment someone is hitting the floor upstairs). His woman next to me could have been her, Zeena, white bleach hair, also dressed in black.
I saw then many times punching a keypad at the door visible from behind the store where sometimes i was doing chores like breaking boxes or counting empty cans. It is true, Liviu told me once they were drug addicts and prostitutes. 
Don't know if i left it myself. Today the gasket is leaking again. I'm going to NAPA to buy a different RTV than the one i got online which hardened very soft.
4:30 Went to O Reilly's (what does it have to be so hard to write) to buy a new tube, and this time i read the instructions. It says to put the parts together, let it dry for an hour and then torque. On the other tube it said to let it form a skin, for 10-18 minutes and then torque. Haven't done either way.
But i think i'm done for tonight. I hate to work at flashlight light. It is more... head turning?
Today it was about 10 hours of floor creaking. Maybe they got tired.
