11:22 AM Președinte fără Prim Ministru și Guvern, asa cum sună?

3:12 PM Every time i open the door to go outside someone comes out from D5-D10 (in diagonal view across the alley). This time i went to put in a new cabin filter and there was chocking smoke coming from this direction. One picture taken earlier since i went to Walmart (to buy another AC/coil cleaner which i could not find cause it was not in automotive). Continuous mole devastation.

8:55 AM Poate ați auzit prin presă. Rezerva de gaz a României e atât sau atât. 70% la începutul iernii bla bla.

Unde sunt stocate aceste gaze, mai ales cele mai puțin compresibile ca metanul. Răspuns. În pământ. Înapoi în foste zăcăminte. Sunt roci poroase sau chiar caverne subterane de unde s-a extras gazul. Nu are unde să se ducă. Este pompat înapoi și scos la nevoie. Se reduce zăcământul la starea inițială de exploatare. 

Mai sunt acviferele. Depozite de apă subterane de mare adâncime (sute de metri) care au fost golite prin exploatare nerațională. Poate mai puțin în România dar cine mai știe acum ce fac. Dacă se duce un jurnalist pe acolo, primește plicul și gata. La fel cu Poliția și politicienii.

Dacă ar pompa intenționat cineva apă din Dunăre în depozitele acestea de gaze sau înapoi în acvifere (asta se numește managementul de acvifere, care la fel nu prea cred că există în România).

Chestia e că nici nu știm pe unde sunt. Da bine nu cred că pot exploda, fiindcă nu există aer (oxigen) pe acolo. Dar dacă au fost golite și a intrat nițel aer? Nu cred că s-a ajuns niciodată prin exploatare la presiune chiar zero.

9:09 Cold weather has come and the Hyundai tick has come at this car for the first time.

I knew about the problem. The blow by gas that is redirected (after 70s) into the intake manifold to reduce pollution contains drops of oil. It is directed there through the so called PCV valve and a rubber hose. But some fractions of the oil, the so call paraffins, solidify on the walls of the intake manifold. Especially in cold weather.

So they fix one problem by creating another one. Because sticking valve translates into a host of problems like misfires, vibration with poor driveability and loss of mpg.

When the engine heats up enough or the weather changes a bit  during colder seasons (like during this time, at noon or under Sun), some of the wax migrate on the valves and turns into varnish because of temperature and make them stick. Harder to open by the hydraulic lifters that get squished. Which makes the ticking sound.

For now, it disappears with RPM and engine temperature. At higher RPM, the oil pump pumps more oil and oil pressure is higher and the lifter can beat the stickiness. 

That is the reason i built a catch can. But have not seen wax in it except when i used synthetic oil which is more waxy. But now i use an oil which i am not sure what it is. It says motor oil and that's all. The fact it does not say synthetic does not guarantee it is not. Or could have changed the formula since since i had this problem until this year after they unexpectedly changed the price from 17 dollars to 25 for a 5 gallons jug.

The thing is. With great sacrifices (they start shows outside every time i get at the car) i stuck a borescope camera through the throttle inside the manifold and took pictures and it all came drops of orange stuff. Not at the closest cylinder next to throttle where the flow of air is faster but more in the back, at cylinder 1 and two where i hear the tick.

But while writing here an idea came to me and i think more and more about doing it. I will try and put some thermal insulation stuff around the composite manifold which will retain some of the heat of the engine and help melt the wax. I hope it will not help melt the composite (plastic mainly) material of the manifold itself LOL. I hope the melted wax will not create more problems on the valves in the short run.

Another thing crossed my mind. Big oil money and car making money may be involved in all these shows i see all around me because changing things and technologies to mitigate with this problem would cost too much and combustion engine are being phased out and this is what brings all kinda hells onto me and probably causing other things. The war in Iran, just to displace the word oil from the minds of people hearing what i keep saying.

Ok if you don't believe me do what i do. Rough noisy start at your car during colder days? Stick a a USB borescope camera which now are cheap, under 20 dollars through your throttle and look. Or simply a wooden stick with drop of cotton and swab it (but be careful not to introduce something no matter how small in there cause you might ruing your engine).

Right.

Here are phone screenshots with pictures from inside the manifold. Cause last time when i tried to transfer them onto the card, the just disappeared from the app's folder. How i know it is wax? Some came on the semi-rigid tube i stuck the camera through (to protect the camera from the oil there). In the past i found actual wax in the catch can even during summer, when i was using most expensive synthetic oils.

3:40 PM Right on.

Right (on).

11:11 PM They all retreated from outside and put a mole chaser cartridge in a gallery. I tried to stick on full can with foam for ac evaporator and heater core cleaner. At first lots of foam was coming out of it but went back inside and when i squeezed the can, just some liquid came out of it and fell through the hole and i did not clean nothing.

1:35 PM After the yellow utility truck shedding concrete dust parked here again, i parked my truck instead for the last couple of days. Today at 8:45 AM got an email from the management saying i should vacate the spot for F6 (upstairs, marked 54) or my truck is at risk to be towed starting that moment.

I noticed hours earlier, or after that email there was a car in my spot (F5, marked 55) and later i saw two guys in it. Is it possible that they just moved here and they were there all morning, waiting for me to remove the truck?

The interesting part is they did not make any noise upstairs, cause i would have known they are moving here today and removed the truck, without opening the email.

Then i found a Thursday spot and and then saw a visitor spot after a truck from the construction firm with a trailer that was parked sideways occupying 4 or 5 spots moved away and then i parked there and then i saw a guy who probably belonged with them looking pissed, he came next to were i parked but did not say nothing and then next to the apartment when i got back and probably saw i moved my truck from F6 to that one acting again pissed cause he did not understand why i left the F6 spot to move there.

And of course the two guys who stayed here all morning in my spot, or my new upstairs neighbors left and now they were two empty spots and the man looked puzzled as why i had to move mine in the spot he was counting for.

8:16 One thing i did not say because i did not believe it was important was when i tried to move the truck (the lot is on a slight grade) i first let it backwards by gravity, turned the wheel and the truck at about 45 degrees and when i released the clutch the "point of balance" or when the clutch engages was not as i was used to with this truck and it moved backwards a meter or two until i hit the brakes. Could have hit one of the white SUVs on the other side of the alley and that is the key to all story.

It happened with this truck in the past, when it lost the hydraulic fluid and i replaced the clutch (Steve the Korean) like three times, unnecessarily. Last clutch has only a few thousand miles (l@10) on it. This truck is actually an ISUZU Hombre, branded Chevrolet S10 (GM in collaboration with ISUZU) and it had since it was new an exhaust leak at the engine. Whatever. Need to add some brake fluid in it and purge it.

I actually wanted to look in the spot for leaks but here came that guy from the construction company and distracted me and now there is a car there (and nobody moved upstairs yet).

The two guys were waiting here since this morning (probably after that email) stayed until i moved were probably supposed to be the whatness. And yes i left in a hurry after i read the email and my hair looked like Einstein's when he was almost bald.

4:02 PM Have no choice but to write here. Yesterday it was so quiet all morning, it was eerie. They did the inspection at about 3:3o but only upstairs (their plan was randomly sampling 10% of the apartments). There was one single person and it was brief. Did not hear when they left only heard steps for about one minute. Soon after the smell re-started. I went at the dumpster and was really mad about.

When i am mad like that i cannot function in real time, my brain is frozen. All that i think of is find those bags, knot them and get the hell out of there. Continuously cursing in my mind those who left them and those who try to "catch me on the spot while doing it". But you all know that, i already confessed. Wrote it here that is. Cannot be a social being around the dumpster.

As i said last week i planned with Angela for this week to vacuum the apartment. Did not have time yesterday, i barely finished organizing at 2:30 but since it was all organized. i done it today, it was easy. However the vacuum cleaner broke half way through, (the belt jumped) and had to fix it.

Yesterday they gave us another notice. Will come and fix the speed bumps this week (yes the areas around those are really cracked because of the small earthquakes every time a multi-ton SUV hits them) but i thought it was Thursday. Today they started, real close to our locations. Trucks, excavators, pneumatic hammers, etc.. We also had the building surrounded with dust, like every Wednesday because the guys with the mowers ere  on the dry redwood mulch areas. Could it be related to what i just wrote.

8:08 After sleeping and building and putting in the oven a meatloaf, i went outside to smoke a cigarete, next to the car. A chubby ten years old started to do a show at the entrance accross the alley. I put out the cigarette and when i climbed the stairs, i saw an Asian guy who was masked by my truck, standing and watching.

I went in the back to finish the cigarette and saw 5 of them moving on the alley, disappearing behind the garages next to our entrance. The whole scene reminded me of...

10:00 About 15 minutes ago i went outside to check something at the car. Within one or two minutes after popping the hood, when i was staring at problem areas with a flashlight and thinking hard, like what parts i need to replace (and not spend too much money), the driver of the BMW with modifier exhaust from Apt.4 came but was standing next to the car and a woman was at the wheel (didn't see her coming).

They started the noisy car and she probably claiming ignorance or lack of experience floored the pedal and revved the engine in the high RPM area about 3 times making a noise that probably was heard from one mile away. The door was cracked open i think and i went inside and Angela started to yell at me thinking i have done something. I was searching for the phone to record but they left.

Earlier i was thinking. How come he sometimes (rarely) leaves whitin seconds ands some other times he keeps the engine at cold start RPM for minutes, even during hot summer days, probably keeping that RPM where the "sound system" is at resonance, with his foot on the pedal, on purpose, after the engine was actually hot enough for cold RPM to drop to normal.

I thought i saw a few days ago Prince Hisahito comming in and out that apartment, passing by me who i was at the car, looking the other way so i won't see his face.

Though this car was old, it had and still has too many problems and some of them seemed artificially created (like dog food in the cabin fan housing).-

I would write some more but i am afraid of what they're gonna do next.

When i left earlier outside (after reading of the Romanian news), i had an idea about posting this. "An old Romanian folk song" which reflects the current political situation in Romania, with a fourth Prime Minister nominated by the President in 6 months  (the other three did not pass the Parliament vote).

Which may have been also anticipated by the real time AI that created the scene with that progressive noise outside. But after reading the words (i never made a true connection or had the experience and suspicions i know have), i realized there are subliminal words of sexual nature embedded in the lyrics.

In fact, she sings with an accent which (i thought it was local) never allowed me to understand the following two words until i saw them written tonight (CC).

I was asking myself earlier if there are actually songs in any language and culture that do not contain at least some words with hidden meanings.

10:55 I went to check the voltage at the battery (with the plug in charger that has a digital voltmeter and it shows 12.4 volts after 8 hours of not driven (after a short drive). Should i replace it? It's got 4 years. BTW i forgot the keys under the car's window because i got scared by that noise. Good thing i went outside to check the voltage, otherwise would have lost the keys, cause Angela is driving the car in the morning. 

11:08 Ok i went outside with an actual digital voltmeter and it reads 12.38 (after 8 hours). BTW when i opened the door and stepped on 2 rungs (out of 7) down the stairs, two Asian guys dressed both in gray passed right in front comming out of the dark, kinda laughing, scaring the s...t out of me.

6:05 AM I awoke at 3 probably due to smell. I went outside and found nothing except some spots of fresh pee next to hydrant. WHen i reached near the battlezone, a heavy exhaust sound made me turn around. Don't want dust from that wall on me.

There was a big green garbage sack on top of the flipped lid of the dumpster and i thought i saw a color difference in a spot. I came and grabbed my fishing pole and fished onge green bag of about 2 pound of almost the same color knotted in a weird way. I threw it in the dumpster in a corner and i heard it reached bottom where snell can't escape. The dumpster is overfilled already and it is only Wednesday.

6:26 PM They have a basketball (half) court about 200 ft from here yet they chose to hit the ball here in front of our building, while we are eating.

8:11 As if it was not enough the misery of working at that concrete park for over one year, they did the concrete pathway between complex and the swamp in the back for about 6 more months with excavators and trucks and stuff. Much mud leaked into the river enlargement and brought nutrients there. Here in this picture done in 10/10/25 when they were still working o it one can see the blooming of the algae there.

I put this picture because there is other aspect to it. There is extra humidity smell and dampness coming from that wetland.

11:48 They brought again the yellow pickup with SEATLE EMPIRE next to our car. The place was flooded with electrified concrete nano dust. I put two wet towels outside on the deck's rails and that alleviated the dust somehow. But i did breath enough and it slowly started to eliminate in my esophagus.

About half hour ago i tried to eat some apple and i cut one in very fine slices and ate it half of it. However it did not move from the esophagus as i experienced one of the worst dysphagia episode ever.

Could not vomit and when i did the food together with mucus from lungs tried to enter the respiratory ways (the other type of chocking). Finally i vomited the water i tried to sip to make it go down, slowly eliminated all air from esophagus and then it went down. I think cause i did not try do drink water until now but do not feel any pain anymore..

9:20 PM Latest. I went at the dumpster and there was an unknotted green bag on top of a baby safety crib. It was at the limit of what i could reach by hand only. Didn't want to go inside to grab my fishing pole so i just attempted. I grabbed it without leaving fingerprints on the crib however i touched it slightly with my arm.

When i got back the black BMW started the usual thunder and i grabbed the phone to record, when i passed by it the signal went over the limit however another sounding car passed right in that moment. The thing only thunders for one minute or two until the RMP drops and the frequency changes and it does not resonate no more.

I remember i saw it a few days ago at the office, it was running quite quietly in a spot there like trying to prove. But if he had stop it and restarted, they would have seen (or heard whatever). Many other stories to come.

I was driving on Springbrook coming from 219 and there was an Amazon van parked right after the curve where it says Finish Line (how sarcastic) kinda like half on the lane. I think it was a new electrical one with vertical bars of LEDs on the corner (sort of like some newer Cadillac have, kinda inviting to drive right through it. But i was lucky i saw it before that happened. I take it is about what i wrote about the 2.99 surcharge of some items when you have free delivery (Prime).

2.99 makes a difference when you order 5 bucks items and i suspect they come here every day anyways.

I wrote on several occasions, Amazon always delay things i expect most.

Out of all polices around here the Newberg guys are most unfriendly. There was a cop last night just to see if i make a full stop before i was turning right on red at the second stop after that curve. Another cop pulled me one night when i drove after they stole the sticker on my rear LPN. During this trip to Lincoln City and back i had to pull three times on the shoulder because they were driving too close behind me.

9:45 The locker at this location is not on the map (19355 65th) to chose so i have to use the address. I don't know if that would make a difference though.

10:26 AM Two days ago i drove to Lincoln City. Some guy with a classic car got in front of me at Sherwood and it's nearly impossible to pass someone on the narrow road except in a couple of points. And there was this car with Utah plates right in front of me who was going 10 under limit and was creating a long line behind him and because of it i could not accelerate (without going more than 10) to pass that smoker.

As a result, my cabin filter got trashed. I ordered another one on Amazon yesterday but it got delayed so tomorrow and today i am driving again like last night, without one, which creates other problems.

Yeah i know one of the reasons for this allegory is they are trying to made us all understand how was life before catalytic converters when we were also breathing lead. But it was not the Japanese who invented it.

At Lincoln City he went on that sky road which leads to Dollar Tree plaza and i caught him in a picture when he was trying to get back on the road.

I cannot possibly describe how many have blinded me on my way back, after midnight. Lately i see lots of vehicles with off road lights but with one down. So imagine, you see only one huge blinding light coming from the opposite, blinding. But why it happens only in the most dangerous curves or before narrow bridges and things like that?

Last night when i went to order my fried bread there was a young woman who took my order. However when i went to pick it up, again, her.

11:15 Yesterday i ordered simultaneously 4 items on Amazon all with next day delivery (mainly to avoid the 2.99 new charge for "Amazon Prime free shipping", if the order is under a certain amount, don't know exactly which). 3 of the items arrive today but the filter does not. Last night after Sherwood i started to feel a weird smell in the air which could have come for a house burning, with much burnt rubber in it. But today i saw there was no fire in this area in the news.

11:33 The story is much longer however i do not wish to spend all morning at the computer (there is half hour left LOL),

12:20 PM

 Best thing since wrestling...

6:18 There is a kid coming out of E5 or E6 apartment who keeps getting in my way. The car has a small coolant leak, i am waiting for the hose hopefully with clamps to replace and today i was looking at something else and he came near the car asking again if i had problems while an Asian guy blocking the alley with a white what was that... fairly new Denali, taking pictures and video (of his vehicle, probably caught me with the kid next to the car). He looks like Scottish born child actor...

This guy passed twice and then he went at F4.

1:44 PM

2:50 We're getting there. Full fall colors. (I fixed my camera now it's got the naked lens).

3:55

5:05 I didn't know! But for a solo will have to read notes on the screen? That wouldn't be much fun...

12:45 AM Din ăștia mai erau în Câmpulung, pe râul Moldova of course. Poluarea nu cred că a crescut fiindcă fabrici s-au tot închis, deci s-ar putea să mai fie. Le spuneau babe cred și erau atât de urâți încât mă îngrozeam dacă prindeam vreo unul și îl aruncam înapoi. A nu cred că erau din ăștia. 

9:09 Ok they started a car or something than can be heard inside much louder than the fridge by example. Sounds like a motorcycle to me. If it was an 80 dB hair drier or mixer i would not have heard from here now did i. So it's got to be something like 100 at the source.

9:30 It lasted about 15 minutes or so with a big vrroom in the end. They always do it at the end of an effort or by the time i finished this blog post. Ruining the cycle motivation-rewards, putting me in a weird mood.

9:50 The vibration from that motorcycle was not wasted. Two mole holes just popped under the siding and the room filled with mole gas. When i opened the back door to air a brown but taller guy who to me looked like a Hungarian Gypsy started to energetically sweep the pavement in front of the back dumpster.

9:53 Pentru că era nevoie de o nouă distragere cu marca George-scu.

11:00 A whole body suit

3;08 I used a rotary tool and carved into the phone's little window and removed it. It works for now but the lens is totally unprotected though is kinda small and buried inside. Maybe i should try and get a phone's cover with a slider like i had before. Ok i got one. How stupid of me not to use it.

4:00 PM I went and tried to remove the second o2 sensor. As i knew, it is stuck. I squeezed some WD40 in there and got back here. Is is a 5 minutes job to unscrew that one and screw the new one back.

I saw an orange ticket on the black BMW with no movement/inoperable since 26, Two days ago i brought my own truck to block other people to park here overnight.

However as i was commenting with Angela, someone started it, let it thunder for 5 minutes and then left.

I knotted 3 light mauve bags at the dumpster. Some guy with two dogs was supervising me. Like they always do. It's the old game of perception.Most people believe those are harmless and that is the reason they keep doing it. People with dogs, cars at night, they all seem concentrated at me.

 

8:15 Revving a big engine for about an hour, playing bass one more finally brought enough dust so i can feel it in my eyes and throat.
