5:40 PM Nobody believes me when i say things. Not at the right time, no. Here i go again hoping that repeating would make them more... credible?
Every once in a while i see a pickup painted green with WA number and a Pest Control logo written on it. I saw one yesterday. But i only saw once, a few years ago, boxes with bait for rats and/or maybe moles all around buildings. Right after that i found during my raids for poops and garbage around the building numerous dead rats and threw them in the garbage. Don't remember if moles disappeared at the same time, but they did.
But they made a come back this spring. Little by little the lawn around this privileged building with grass turned into a moonscape with little volcanoes that turn into craters after i plug them with cement. Only to reappear in a slight different location.
That would not bother me at all but there are other things associated with those. Some people come at night and stick burning cartridges for mole chasing. The moles probably dye or run away, and the next day others take over. And then again in the evening, more smoke.
The same kind of smoke i felt at Three Rivers hotel over the weekend and got really sick (because i did not have a HEPA filter in the room).
And sometimes when there is no smoke at all, i get lethargic, especially if the holes are right next to the building. I once tried and researched to see the reason. Must be the mole's venom, they release in gallery to turn worms into zombies so they crawl themselves to lower level larders so they can eat them.
Due to my experiences, i do not agree with the current knowledge about how moles hunt worms. I propose moles do not actively chase each worm but the aerosolized salivary enzyme present in the gallery turn them into zombies and after falling into galleries they try to escape and end up in a pouch called larder, awaiting to be eaten fresh. So in fewer words, they gas them.
Put on top of that dog poop all around and you get the picture. Mold coming from basement and mole holes.
Today i did not fully awake even after a one and a half hour walk in the cold. And since i neglected to plug the hole under that pile seen on top of that unused pipe on the left here, i stayed like that until Angela came. My whole perception of reality has changed, not carrying much about nothing.
In the past, and even recently that was combined with smoke made from burning hemp ash with saltpeter and some combustible stuff so it burns underground. Not stinking like hemp, it makes you high and dizzy the same. But that starts at evening when people get home and light their fireplaces, making smoke in the neighborhood, creating a cover.
On top of that the guys with industrial mowers created damage to the lawn themselves, when wheels of those hit an area with galleries that collapse under that weight.
6:10 So today i slept all morning and then at noon i went for a walk, probably instinctively trying to clear my head. I did not even care when i saw that pile on the left above. I have a fixed route i go every time. There is no other way (for some reason google maps does not allow me to complete the loop).
First thing that i saw on the streets they were not so many cars like yesterday. Not even half. Lately i thought i recognized some the white people in cars with weird license plate number (like all Os and Ds replaced with Qs, PEG, PD they apparently gave up the KGB thing cause in a while about half of the cars had some combination including those 3 letters.
My longtime assumption was they organized here in Oregon a huge magic allegory with the theme Xenu/Dracula/Antichrist, starting before year 2000 and continuing to this day. And since not enough locals were whiling to participate, they must have brought people from South America and Hungary.
For critical jobs that require direct intervention like driving cars behind tinted windows there are the Japanese.
All coordinated by AI.
There is a big difference between white people from US and those from Brazil though they do have the same origin. All countries in Americas dominated by English culture prospered and all the others, mostly Spanish Catholics, did not so much. Whites from South American never look happy.
For a while they turned the fast food at Spirit Mountain into a Mexican food restaurant. And they brought people from what i thought was Mexico, though they were taller and white and for the first time i understood how different white people from South look.
After then i started to recognize all around at the show more and more of that kind acting like white Americans when there was not much talking involved. Cause for the more sophisticated jobs they have the Hungarians.
To shorten the story, today for the first time i saw outside on the streets a dramatic reduction of cars with white extras probably of Brazilian origin which coincides with the re-election of Lula and the run of Bolsonaro from Brazil which BTW puzzles me. Lula da Silva was president for the past 4 years and Bolsonaro is accused of an attempted coup on January 8 2023 (similar to January 6 2021 in the US).
I fail to understand what has changed that made Bolsonaro run away only now and the borrowed people return to Brazil today. Maybe they were pissed with he failure of Bolsonaro, i don't know.
But today when i crossed the bridge, some short guy got in front of me and was getting closer and closer and i stopped here and tried to put some distance, i looked behind and saw a white SUV about to make a right turn into that alley that stopped when i turned my head. Would have been over me.
As i said i was too numb to look for make model or LPN but from behind i thought it was a van not an SUV.
2:00 AM 28 (The next day). The yellow pickup with the logo SEATTLE EMPIRE is again parked on F6 with two barrels with cement dust overturned. My eyes hurt because of dust. That is retaliation because i earlier poured cement with a small paper cup in a mole hole. This is the 4th or 5th time he does that.
But is weird cause in other days he is parked across the alley. I take it he does not leave dust in the truck in those days or nobody else is sensitive to that dust in the complex except us. This spot is shared between him and the guy with the monkey on the white SUV, after i got an email from office saying i cannot park in there.
Angela just fell asleep and she is going to work at 6.
Monday, October 26, 2026
7:05 AM Slept 2 to almost 6. Had my clothes full of cigarette smoke from casinos. Yesterday i awoke @7 AM, at 8 i was at the computer in the hotel, i wanted to do some things at the car, it was drizzling, at 11 we left the room, went inside the casino, waited till noon when the food bar opens, cause Angela had some free food on her card, we grabbed our fried chicken and left.
When i got in Newport, Angela, my copilot was sleeping and i tried to keep speed limit, not long after the bridge speed limit turns 25 and it goes like that for miles, i was first in a group of cars, some were pushing, one was racing me at lights, but i did not exceed the speed with more than ten when i saw a Police SUV i think here on the right. Probably watching for speeders, something i never saw over the years during my many trips on 101.
So we passed that, went to Lincoln City still on 101 were we got flanked by a red pickup belonging to the fire department, i was caught between two cars, front and rear with that pickup at the right and went like that for miles before it took a left and went in an empty parking lot on the hill.
This morning when i awoke i saw this news. 8:08 About Steve Eaton, the lead with the job of a supervisor at Eaton where Angela works, i wrote many times. They keep hiring supervisors there (this one's the fourth since Angela is there) and by the time they start learning the job they leave and Steve is the only one who knows everything.
But he does not want to be a supervisor because he cannot do overtime. One of the engineers there once "joked" that Steve and Sergey, the other lead, make more money than the manager, because they have 40 dollars an hour and they do all the overtime they can and assign to themselves.
So he prepared over the weekend parts for Angela and today she did the job of two days, and while she got better with her hand (arthritis) over the weekend, now it's all ruined and all the money she spent in casinos and miles i drove to improve her mood were for nothing cause her mood is back to zero or minus after one day only.
He always does that after weekends and holidays. And Angela comes home and is madder and madder every week.
Then they were plenty of holes around the building and crazy ninja smoke was coming out of them and we were both again yelling at each other. In the end i plugged the holes but not all of them (like 20 in total maybe).
The youtube video has a terrible audio so i now just listen to the mp3 from my PC which still has the database with 6000 songs in it in my brand new speakers. When i played the video tonight and figured where Musk took his inspiration for his newest stunt.

11:50 PM Looks like Steve the (Korean) owner of Lucky Autobody. For added confusion, the current owner is also Asian and his name is also Steve.
Red Light + Speed Cameras
You have to look for traffic, speed, direction and pedestrians in the same time. But what if the intersection is in a slope and your speed may increase after 100 yards after you get your foot from all pedals to concentrate at lights, traffic and direction?

Tonight i had this idea and put the visor on to see if it helps with blinding lights from the opposite. Or was on since the last parking lot i left the car unattended.
I did not encounter any light for about 80 miles. In the meantime it got dark and i the visor was good with the blinding lights from the opposite.
Trouble is i could not see traffic lights except from a distance which was maybe 100 yards from intersections. But i think in intersections with two lights, i could see at least one. I will try and verify tomorrow or even tonight.
I even commented in the car, i told Angela i think it works, all i have to see is the car in front of me.
When i got at the traffic camera in Sherwood, i saw it was green from a distance. There is one little problem there, they made a bridge that appears in the visual field behind the cameras and that bridge has ever changing colors, interfering with signals given by the light to the drivers.
Then i saw a flash. Angela confirmed the light was green, which i saw myself seconds before intersection. I had a little above 50 when i entered the intersection, Angela yelled and hit the brakes, had exactly 45 or speed limit when i crossed the second crosswalk. At least one more car came after me and did not trigger any.
Would not be the first time when something or someone intentionally triggered a flash just to take a picture of me. One time it was in front o City Hall in Beaverton, in the day of the release of Gangnam Style when i had my hands full of sticky foam crossed on the wheel and was driving to my then Korean mechanic at Lucky Autobody in Beaverton.
Thing is they got now a picture with the visor on my upper side of the face and they cold try and prove i was driving without possibility of seeing traffic lights. Even if only for illicit viewers over the web.
Yes i am overconfident and changed my driving patterns due to the fact that i know that all other vehicles surrounding me everywhere i go are for show and all i have to take care of is to look in the mirror and accelerate when they get closer (and i did that tonight for most part of the drive) and not to hit the guy in front of me when they stopped suddenly which tonight, for a long time was one with a dealership LPN "DAY 1".
I am currently arguing with Angela and i was saying that overall this was the worst "driving while been bullied" drive of my entire life and she says no, because she does not see what i see in the rear mirror. But for that there are now laws or law enforcement to enforce them or ever read what i write here for years.
And BTW tomorrow i will physically disconnect the satellite or whatever Sirius link this car has and i did not subscribe to with its own GPS and voice command and stuff (with a possibility of being hacked). I was for for a long time people can here somewhere what i talk in the car.
Yesterday i spent last half of day in the room and it was one of the worst days of my life and later i discovered the cause. On the north side of the hotel was a cocking smoke similar to the one outside right now and probably was making its way in the hotel from under entrance door.

This bridge at night shines in ever changing rainbow colors, confusing drivers about the color of the traffic lights, like the rainbow serpent. I will try and take a video one of these nights. Nevermind.

Sherwood, Serpent. BTW can you see how strong they shine he lights from cars coming from opposite? This is what i experience at night all the time, but imagine on a narrow, two lanes hwy in complete dark.
One Mexican guy with a white car with LP QRW (like from Orwell i just wrote about, in all LPN i see the O or D nowadays is replace with Q) came threatening towards me while maneuvering to park rear first while i was throwing those in the garbage and just put out my own headlight, etc..

9:50 No one can imagine in what shapes tarot cards modeled the western psyche.

2:00 AM I think i saw him today (actually yesterday, sorry) posing as a much younger Mexican when i went at the dumpster. He climbed the stairs at the second entrance of building C while i was attempting to knot some bags in there.
10:05 Nu vreau să par obsedat, dar tocmai ce am văzut jos în cazino o tipă roșcată cu breton care s-a uitat o secundă la mine și părea ofensată. După care a mai făcut câțiva pași și a plecat. Părea foarte slabă.
Așa că m-am întors să mai googălesc puțin și iată rezultatul.
Alexandra Ungureanu nu mai arată așa ca în tinerețe, cel puțin în video-ul acesta încărcat acum 3 luni. Născută în 1981 ar avea cel puțin 45 de ani care s-ar putea să fie de fapt 55. De notat și îndemnul mai mult sau mai puțin subliminal, toate visele se îndeplinesc în apus. Andrew Dope?

2:35 Went and picked my wallet and phone from Eaton's parking lot. When i left they were blowing the Meridian lot in a cloud of dust. I mean, themselves?
Then i picked the poops and went for a walk. Saw something strange. A big tow like truck carrying behind and empty dumpster, makin again a huge thunderous sound at every bump, like it was Thorsday.
3:45 I knew about this video since long time ago before i knew about her avatar and i forgot (never made any sense of it).
Just heard on the radio for the first time (was listening for months only to my usb card that broke).
10:05 They parked again the yellow truck with the inscription SEATLE EMPIRE on the driver side. Unlike yesterday this time is full of tools like wheel barrels, all full of cement dust.
As i said, i had to plug some mole holes next to the basement lid and though i avoided to use cement, they came to retaliate. It is all show because i did not bother no one.
Talking about show. Earlier i went to smoke a cigarette and they started to come from all directions. Noisy planes, people, a woman carrying a baby to the day care with two cars protecting her, what else, i forgot.
I am bothered by the dust coming from that truck or somewhere else under that cover. I went to wet the grass between buildings and behind that truck, hoping it will catch some of it. According to meteo predictions it was supposed to rain today, but that has been postponed to Sunday now.
The fat guy with the white SUV with the monkey head on a side turned his headlights on me. Then he left in a couple of minutes. Another guy came from the dark, hoping maybe i will sprinkle him. I also wetted the car, hoping it's gonna catch some fresh dust that can be seen by others.
But then i started to think, everything is happening at that D5-D10 entrance across the alley. Day Care at 5 with people and cars comming all day long to pick or drop kids of all ages especially when i go outside to smoke or i am in the kitchen area etc.. At 6 there are a number of teens, where the new fat guy came out tonight (actually i think i saw a couple of them so far, first was bigger too scarry big), this one is only fat).
Probably where the driver of they yellow truck is but i never saw him. At D7 is the mystery woman which i have not seen for a while, after i started to believe (though i never said it aloud) she is actually..., a Trump appointee. But when i saw that Instagram photo, i thought she actually might be AlexaCrush herself. That until today.
Also did not know they have Asian justices in the Supreme Court. Could she be the short Asian woman with the yellow Nissan i saw yesterday and many times, recently? No SS she does not strike me as Mexican born in the US. More like Asian. Double initials. As i said before, you cannot trust politicians with double initials, is a sign of artificially increased charisma, power and trust.
I already done two unsuccessful matches and one i posted and my eyes hurt but i am positive i could find the both in the lists with foreign actors.
I figured Trump needs to score something before this midterm so they intensify the show to the max. So they try and capitalize at any of my sorties.
In the last three weeks there was always some in there. Though used, it still acts as deodorant (some) And in front of the bin. Now there is just dust from vacuuming the leaves, alongside the whole alley. Now they baptized the new dumpster with it.

The computer (Chrome) crashed on me while i was trying to upload though i'm not finished signing on sites after the reset Sunday, the picture above and the copy from the card reader were gone. But when i copied the picture again from the phone and finally uploaded it now the mauve bags i knotted are gone though i am pretty sure i caught them.
BTW is the Starbucks logo inspired from the Empress in the 4 tarot cards above?
For those who don't know. Tarot cards were big back then. The origin of today playing cards. From boredeoom, lack of cell phones and other entertainment forms they were divinating (devigner) using those cards all the time.

I get hit by a smoke which is not even chocking or that unacceptable for the short time i am supposed to fix that which becomes longer. But soon, without realizing my perception of things get blurred and i can only see what i am doing and people start passing doing their things. I make too many mistakes, it all takes too much time for small jobs. Like more than one hour for a bulb yesterday (with stuck dust cap).
Usually one or two comming out of the day care at D6 cause lately i don't see them getting in but only out. Three teenagers yelling probably high, right at my back. A woman peeing her dog right behind me etc.. The Asian woman in the yellow car. The white SUV with a gorilla head with mouth wide open with scarry teeth on a side.
These days the new windows the installed about 3 years ago are not that leaky and don't allow that much smoke inside and the HEPA filter does the rest and i don't allow mole holes next to basement (under siding). So i am not crazy high as i used to be for years.
The years in which i didn't know all these and i was going dizzy all the time and was not feeling that bad except all things were blurred to me.
One of those days (cannot find where and when i wrote about but was years ago) i went for a long walk (hour and a half) which was still not enough to clear my mind. Many times i got refreshed with the same kind of smoke on my walk, especially near the bank of the river.
At the so called community center in the middle of the park stretched along the river there was a guy with a white SUV who slammed the door, probably trying to get my attention, awake me to reality about something that was going to happen i needed to pay attention to (that was how i fell in that moment) cause he probably knew i was not paying attention to anything around me.
I had a vague idea i knew her from somewhere and wanted to talk to her, but in the middle of the bushes? Mainly i was afraid for her safety after i left, especially if we didn't get along well. I knew that guy knew about her. Maybe other people. It all looked like a setup to me. So after staring at her standing in the middle of the bushes, i left.
Next day she shows online with a dinosaur mask or something covering her entire head mainly confirming it was her. "You turned around for me!".
Do you think this was the most important thing, how your insecure face looked in that moment?
Last night i crashed probably from being exposed to something and forgot the main door open. Am i right now under the influence of some ninja smoke? Just had a palpitation which reminded me to open my mouth cause my nose in congested cause i cannot use that much decongestant. Or can i? Will i ever be myself again?
Right after i walked out (was leaving) i saw behind me in the same hallway a maid pushing a long cart figuring a stretcher, loaded with something, going in the same direction, For two days i kept searching until i finally found a recent post on only fans and then she finally posts on tiktok so i knew she is ok.
Are you trying to imagine this happening on daily basis which to me it does anyways? Who was that older guy in the park in that white SUV? Are you reading all these or is someone telling you what and when to post?
Hemp ash because it does not stink but is way more concentrated? Camphor and pine resin to cover the smell of sulfur? which burns with the salpeter?

5:33 PM Ash Wednesday. They came to blow the leaves. After they were done blowing and mowing dust in the back they piled the leaves in the alley and i hosed the building.


And the one month long smell of gasoline from a black Chrysler parked where the black BMW is right now.
So i just grabbed the phone, two pieces of foam and laid in front of the car (not enough space to get under myself or even my head). So i just put the phone again on the ground and took several pictures until i centered on that part.
In the mean time the guy with the gorilla head on his SUV that was parked again next to me came and started the thing. One minute later a woman (Asian or Mexican) came and climbed onto the passenger side, stepping real close to my legs. So i got up and went inside.
But went back and kept thinking and i had this idea and again extended two fingers through the hole in the panel and guess what... The plug turned 45 degrees right, like it was not since yesterday. But do you think that after spending hours trying to fit it in there i would not have done it?
The plug has a guiding cylinder at the center with two small guides things coming out of it and it only goes at an angle on some channels inside and when it reaches far enough it allows you to turn it so it locks. But it wasn't and if i left like that for the 150 miles drive would have leaked and would have lost the transmission fluid, possibly traction on the freeway at high speed, possibly getting hit from behind.

3:35 I was too tired when that light broke last night. I pulled by mistake the high beam. I will delete what i wrote about.
6:00 How many galactic dictators it take to replace a light bulb? The right low beam which is in a very hard to reach place at this car probably "like in most modern cars" has a very hard to open dust cap. Now i remember, last time i broke one of those 6 fins and in the end i opened it. But today, no. It did not want to come out.
I tried W40 and hair drier, etc.. Other people passed by including some teens that seemed high. In the end i just destroyed it with a flat screwdriver and a hammer. Yes i was under the influence of smoke outside. But it was reusable. And then i lost the o ring in the maze of the belly of that car. I just put it back like that without o-ring and ordered another one.
Was this supposed to happen last night when those 4 guys passed? Me handling the hair drier or hammer in the night with the car stinking like hell?
And BTW i laid on the ground, with clean clothes and hit that panel hoping the o-ring is gonna come out. Got dust in the eyes. Now i have to take another shower, change clothes.
8:44 Cats are smart...
So after i reinstalled Windows (i think it was Saturday), i spent one whole day outside, but then again many hours a day at the computer. Today i just discovered that wi-fi was on (turned on by default after a reset) and also my phone had wi-fi on and the battery went very fast and was charging very slowly. I also discovered since i last shaved that my left burnside is completely gone. No more facial hair on the left side of my face.
Today i discovered at the new dumpster a pile of dust (about 1-2 pounds) on the pavement that was disturbed with every car that passed... Next to some litter dust that was there earlier. Very fine and regular, i don't know what it was, much finer than sand but coarser than cement dust. I went with the broom and dust pan (washed them later under the shower) to remove that dust but some got into my eyes because of easterly wind.

4:10 We both got awaken today @2 AM. I was curious and went outside and found a big dog poop about 15 ft away from bedroom and living windows. Not such a big problem to me whom i slept 5 hours and can sleep more during the day (i crashed last night at 9) but to Angela who slept only 4 and hast to go to work at 5:30.
Could be a ritual form, because of the legend of mother of Saint Dominic, patron of Dominicans, a branch within Catholicism which is a branch of Christianity that lost most of original Christian values (like compassion) that is very active to this day. Dominican popes created and sustained the infamous Inquisition that was practicing burning at the stake of "heretics" (lost ones).


Historically they are known to resist scientific advances (like from the first screenshot) and/or even punish scientists who went against their beliefs.


Last night we went at Indian Head, mostly because of the beautiful late fall summer like weather and the fact that it could be the last time this year before weather changes and it snows over Mt. Hood that BTW is completely baren as i never seen it. The sky was full of jet trails with clouds growing around (because i written of cloud seeding) like i again never seen in the area.
Lately i see less KGB or PGD (PDG) license plate numbers and a lot with Q, like QUT, which can mean queer, out like they already established i am queer and need to leave the place.
In the beginning i sat in the car for about an hour, because i was tired because of the 2 hours drive, with very aggressive street companions who sometime drove with two wheels on the shoulder, raising dust.
A brand new Jeep Sahara plate starting with 905 came next to my car and because of the angle of the spots, i did not see it. He kept his engine running and when i finally realized, my feet were burning because he was probably using a cell phone. I left the car to smoke and he came out of it. He was very young with moustache, Japanese posing in Mexican. He was with a young woman also very young also Japanese disguised in Mexican.
Was in pain for most of the time i was there. Not many people on Sundays there. We fooled around at the machines. After all these years i developed some techniques that allow me to beat the machines if i am not tired which in the end i became and lost everything (40 dollars).
In the end we ordered some food (chili burgers) and went in the car to eat. I remember the lady at the Tule grill came to mop the floor right after i stepped out with my food, I was generally very irritated and when i ate the burger, that was a bit overdone and dried on the grill (zero fat), i chocked like 4 or 5 times. Good thing i had some water in a bottle and was regularly washing my esophagus between small bites.
While we were there eating a very dusty car came and parked next to us, adding to anxiety and a Japanese guy came out of it and walked and bent, showing me his butt.
While i was driving back, pretty early, guys were pushing me from behind with high beams while the traffic kept stopping ahead making me brake really hard at times while i was half asleep. Scores of drivers were actually participating, especially in down town Sandy and after that.
But i had a breakthrough. One of the reasons i choke like that is because i have the parotid glands partly calcified (especially the right one and because of that i lack the necessary amounts of saliva. Don't ask me how it happened, could be overuse of cell phone and cordless, especially between 2010 and 2015.
10:05 Today i've done one undone (before). Rough translation from Romania, "nefăcută".
They were no unknotted bags of poops last night but there was a bag of litter dust spread all over (trying o deodorize the smell of fermented garbage and together with the thick smoke, the poop in the back that awoke us at 2.
Last night i was planning to replace the gasket from the overfill drain at the transmission. I talked about in the car, Sirius must have heard me.
So i gathered all my courage and went and tried to remove that. Imagine you have to work in a space one inch wide, with fingers only (not enough room for hand). First i could not remove the plug. It only goes in and out in a certain position. And in my stupidity in thought since it is an overfill think, there would not be much fluid to come out if i remove it.
But i put a tub under just in case. But guess what. 3 quarts of fluid came out of it and the stream touched the panel and was coming out from two directions and i only had one tub. The result is i lost about half quart on the pavement. I put some rags, wiped it out and flush it with the hose in the end.
I didn't know the overfill plug is so deep immersed in oil. You are supposed to use it only when the engine is running and transmission fluid is low due to filling the torque converter. I was not expecting so much fluid to fall out. Every time i changed transmission fluid and oil i used a pump. But in the end it had a positive side. I poured 3 qts of new fluid. Involuntary partial flush that is.
Transmission fluid is not like oil, it dries on the asphalt (or gets sucked by it) in a day or so. However, it was stinking tonight. Mostly not from the ground but from the tranny itself that was soaked with it after it go heated after a test drive. So they screwed me ten years and in the end i am guilty of the same thing.
An untold rule of mechanics says if something is hard to take apart, it would be twice as hard to put it back together. With two fingers only and partial visibility (after i jacked the car to the max), the plug won't come out. But when i put it back together.
The gasket needed to be installed first and kept falling when i was touching it with the plug while not being able to find the hole by touch. And the two kids from D5 kept yelling like they were connected to my brain again making me loose concentration. IN the end i put the plug once without it to figure how. I done it after 2 hours or so. A plug and a gasket.
Hyundai has good parts and bad parts and i think the design of this plug and gasket is the worst i have ever seen. Theoretically, you can replace it (the proof is i did) but in all the videos i've seen the guys had to remove other major parts like the radiator to reach it and empty the tranny first.
The gasket showed signs of being warned out though i don't understand why.
Finally did it and had just enough time to go to a Kia dealer to get some fluid. But when i went for the test drive though the tranny was smoother than ever, a headlight went down.
ot back here and 4 guys from D6 passed coming from the back (dark) to sniff and witness i reckon. Then i lost the lid for the headlight and spent one more hour trying to find it.
What else can i say. They have a feedback on my brain All Mexican guys here are actor pretending they are Catholics. Some AI software coordinates everything. By making noises and interrupting my brain cycles so i cannot do anything complicated.
The usual poop from under the windows moved a few meters more in the back.

The Full Story of Oil Filters
I awoke at 4 after about 6 hours of sleep. Reviewing in mind what happened yesterday. All that smoke coming from that chimney, but also from somewhere else, earlier, all day. Everything in slow motion. Me not being able to remove that tensioner. Routing back the new belt in hours. The guys pretending helping me. In fact that big guy (a tall sumo wrestler maybe) is parked right now next to my car.
I had several projects with the car. Belt and tensioner. Oil change. Two coolant hoses. Battery. First one has flopped but i got a new belt. Thinking that screw might have been overtighten by someone on purpose. Also one the screw in place at the new tensioner (the one that holds the pulley) was not torqued right, would have been in trouble if i put that one in.
I went in the trunk of the car for tools around 5 AM only to see again much traffic in the alley, people coming at the day care to drop or pick kids (apartment D5 accros the alley). I got all my tools, probably 100 items in one single (yellow) plastic bin so i was looking through those but... could not find the filter removal tool. The second one i got from Amazon that gets lost.
So far i was using 79 mm 15 flutes tools for OEM filters but all of those start skipping flutes at any serious torque. I can put a filter with one of those but usually cannot remove it. For that i bought an universal tool with self tightening jaws. They usually damage the filter upon removal so it is critical to take it out.
There are apparently two styles of filters that Amazon and Walmart sites say "confirm fit". They are different by outer diameter, number of flutes and position of the gasket. What matters most, about the same pressure for the relief by pass valve.
What made the last one i bought at Walmart (bought two Purolator ones of that style and they both came damaged from Amazon) special is it has the gasket of a larger diameter, possibly going over the damaged area of the mating surface at the engine, which makes any filter of the other style leak, no matter what brand.
So the other style with smaller diameter but larger gasket needs a different tool (74 mm, 14 flutes tool) which i just bought. I also found (at Home Depot) the 100% conventional mineral oil which does not leave was in the intake.
Not so sure right now when i take another look at that surface. The upper side in the picture seems damaged all the way to the outer diameter. So it looks like i will keep adding oil for a while until i find a solution.
Yes i know i can put some sand paper on a piece of wood and sand that away (i think it is aluminum) but i risk introducing tiny bits of corundum or what the sand paper is made of inside the engine, and that is after the filter. Maybe i could plug the whole area with a rag and then do it but i would not try it blindly as i change the filters right now. I would have to raise the car to be able so see what i'm doing.
Last picture was done by pressing shutter button in mandatory flash mode then laying immediately the phone on the ground under the filter hole in the panel. I could do it because in flash mode, it takes seconds until the first "warning and adjusting flash" fires.
So it looks like i will have to just add oil in that car for a while.


10:00 AM Enjoying Windows after a Reset PC done while i was at WinCo with Keep my file option. No more lag when typing or switching tabs. Flying browsing and uploading speed. Should do this more often. Save google and windows password. Start it when i go somewhere. Finish it when i get back.
Inconveniences. Had to sign into google again (and scramble for password, getting the code at the phone) which brought back my numerous bookmarks. Had to move icons in taskbar at the left again. Had to adjust system wide display (at 300%) and cursor size because this monitor is 4K.
Lost all the installed apps and expired trials which is good cause i don't use very often anyways and some of them i don't even recall installing, probably the source of slowing down bugs.
All downloaded files and documents were preserved with Keep my files option.
Feeling so good after one day of work outside (with all smoke on the hill or maybe because of it?).
