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).
9:50 After one drink only. Before my usb card reader broke i saved like 100 of the best songs on car's own sound system so i still have a few hours of non repeating music to play during my drives. One of them was Motown Song by Rod Stewart. Yes i plan to fix it, ordered a new reader, will be a while, have so many other priorities.
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.
Here another miracle sound coming to you from Romania.
Probably one real authentic Irish by all his accents. Certainly to me sounds like it.

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.
Passing a red light and speed camera is a very complex task. I consider myself an above average driver, i only had two accidents of my fault in 31 years and in both cases i hit poles in parking lots and now have big difficulties passing one of those. I mean, red light is one, speed is another but both, it gets hairy.
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?
I long maintained that in Oregon automated tickets are not legal. Mine in the past came in mail from out of state with the signature printed which means one single officer issued all the tickets at all the intersection within that jurisdiction. A stop has not been made and no officer was present. But that officer did not even see the tickets because they were printed in other state (Nevada).
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.
I don't know what triggered that flash, i took a quick look around and saw no one moving. But could have been a guy speeding in the opposite (but it would have been two flashes or even a guy who crossed a line and wasn't moving). Or it malfunctioned. Ori it was remote controlled from Nevada or by a hacker over the internet trying to prove i could not see the lights. Or by George or Well from behind the grave on this end of October.
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.
And BTW, the yellow truck with the inscription SEATTLE EMPIRE on driver side is in the other spot with one wheel in ours and there is so much smoke you cannot breathe outside.
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.
I went and drove a little at the first intersection to see if i could see the lights. It all depends on the position of the visor, but i don't think it was low enough to have missed it. Though i remember a car going in the opposite that was stopped. But could have been on yellow.
I remember the previous light in Newberg was red though i had green arrow for right turn and i looked by the visor. But it was so bright in the night.
This bridge at night shines in ever changing rainbow colors, confusing drivers about the color of the traffic lights, like the rainbowserpent. 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.
Wait a minute could this be a trick from the part of city of Sherwood so people at night get confused or can not see the color of traffic lights? to make more money tolling a State highway?
9:55 A rather large amount of leaves have fallen over the weekend and it rained and now it all smells like mold. Got to be a starter somewhere, usually a water of cup with water, leaking on the redwood wet mulch. And even if i find it, it will not be over until morning.
10:17 A number of 7/8 inch cylinders from juice or juice concentrate, one beer can, perforated, not open, a chocolate wrapper, a large plastic bag, a wet round pokemon (because i just wrote about) the size of a pillow with some white stuff plucked from it on the ground, a jacket and some small shoes in a plastic bag, all wet, a 30 pound box with peanuts in the rain by the dumpster, etc..
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..

9:30 AM
9:50 No one can imagine in what shapes tarot cards modeled the western psyche.
Was searching yesterday for some guitar riffs and what did i find. There's (Mississippi) Delta blues, Chicago blues, Memphis blues even blue eyed blues and Clapton blues etc.. and then there's AI blues.
With a bit of Adele, Norah Jones and even some modern country singers i can't recognzie in it, i think it's got a merit of its own. Welcome to the machine!
By the time Phil Collins with the crushing power of his drums was not so right radicalized yet.
BTW i can clearly hear in this song AI altered instruments, not sure about the voice.
Friday, October 23, 2026
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?
Dar prima dată când am dat search am scris din greșeală acun și iată ce am aflat.
Dovadă că așa zisa IA de pe google este manipulată. După ce am pus link-ul de mai sus răspunsul s-a schimbat așa că schimb și eu puțin termenii de căutare și fac o captură. Puteți încerca și dvs., click pe link de mai multe ori să vedeți dacă primiți alt răspuns.
De asemenea am pus micro-PC-ul meu la televizorul din cameră și sunt pe wi-fi-ul gratuit al hotelului și literele apar foarte greu când scriu iar mouse-ul se mișcă aiurea. Pot să postez ceva doar dacă e foarte urgent așa că mă opres aici acum.

1:20 PM Upside down cups in which we never read anything
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?
Cars piling up at intersections in weird ways, like waiting for me to hit one from behind. More weird stuff on the road, like all vehicles were scheduled by AI.
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.
Some bad smoking truck with failing engine climbed on 65 ahead of me, filling the little canyon with blue smoke. So i climbed the stairs and went by the hospital, but for some "reason" cars were pilling up at every intersection as i was passing the stopped cars with women at the wheel.
At the school on Borland 3, or 4 school busses, and first stopped at the intersection by some guy in a truck who triggered the sensor coming from left so i got to walk by those too and so on until i reached the new "Commons" building were two Mexicans standing tall, looking at me from above with raised heads were blowing the dust from the street onto me and now i have to go take a shower, but after i go to knot the two bags at the bottom of the new empty dumpster.
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).
4:27 The room was again filled with smoke. Found some holes right under the lid they took apart 2 weeks ago. Was afraid to use dusty cement because they bring here the yellow dusty truck. But i just realized i could mix it with water before i got outside. When the holes pop again, they always do if i don't add cement.
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.
10:50 Earlier i took a picture of the bottom of the dumpster to show the litter dust (and a young Mexican woman at one came at her car next to it and smiled at me).
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.
11:00 Could she be the work of the tall woman who moved at the downstairs apartment behind the dumpster, where they just poured concrete at the door?
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.
Wednesday, October 21, 2026
5:25 AM I go outside, with my mind fixed on something i have to do at the car. Usually awkward cause according too Moore's law only items that are awkward to fix do break.
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.
Then i think, all these things statistically are not supposed to happen in such a short period of time. Ambulances and helicopters and planes and one car every 30 seconds. Sometimes i shot the hood and go back inside and everything pauses and when i get back later when everything restarts.
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.
So here she came across the little bridge, this girl in yoga pants with glasses, always staring at her phone like awaiting for instructions on what o do next (eye contact, no eye contact, smile, etc.) with an attempted smile on her insecure face then going on a branch of the alley hidden among bushes and stopped, always staring at the phone. I stopped and turned around on the main alley, staring at the bushes. Didn't know what to do.
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?
Was the same girl at the entrance of the hotel/casino again walking and staring at that phone, passing, pretending not seeing me, walking towards the hotel? After i put my cigarette out and got inside because of a Russian or Ukrainian man yelling on the phone outside?
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?
7:25 BTW. Altgirl. Altman.
8:20 Do all girls look the same when they smile?
5:33 PM AshWednesday. 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.
Then i went and hosed everything. When the dust seemed to have calmed down, they came with a truck to vacuum the leaves in the alley. The truck had a cover acting as a filter and was hallowed by dust passing right through it. The grass was still wet but i think i have to go and hose the front of the building, again.
5:55 What do you mean there is no other way. They were years in which they did not peak the leaves at all. I picked them all in the spring, where it got warmer and could not stand the smell anymore. They were places with leaves blanket thick up to one ft and more.
Usually in a couple of days, a few hours a day. No big deal, with a rack and trash bags. Problem was they were wet. The leaves can be compacted in up to 10 times their "resting" size. In fact, i enjoyed some physical activity with those. Especially doing the job in the provided smoke.
But i did not document during those days. Morerecently i did it before they reached peak. Interestingly enough they picked the new fallen ones next Wednesday.
And the one month long smell of gasoline from a black Chrysler parked where the black BMW is right now.
10:20 Here comes the juicy one. After Angela told me several times i finally went outside to check what i've done Monday. From above, and the thing is like half meter inside in a very narrow and hard do see spot, i did not see any leak but cap of the plug was kinda too far from the transmission body, with some space in between.
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.
A neverending story.
Here are pictures before and after i tightened it.
There are no signs of major leaks on the panel under or in the parking spot. Could have been just undone. Tonight.

1:11 AM If people don't like kings, then why a Regata Run?
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.
9:48 The last weeks or so have been very disturbing and disruptive to me because of what was happening in Romania. Though most politicians agreed that we needed a government no matter what kind (except right extreme), after the 4th nominalization by the President and six months of failures in Parliament, Then they were some "independent" voices within the agreeing parties that were threatening the national deal...
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.
Out of all area there was only this one close to our windows and a smaller one on the other side of the building. I found many poops in this location (almost daily) and sometimes up to 4 of them. I believe it is done intentionally and it coud be easily caracterized as a form of torture, by lack of sleep. For us is started back in Romania, when we had a neighbor that was "walking" his s he dog several times a day around the building.
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).
Here at the complex i see daily a large number of Mexicans who are known to be Catholic but most dog walker look European, probably paid or coerced to do so. Or Hungarians, of whom a lot are also Catholic.
Historically they are known to resist scientific advances (like from the first screenshot) and/or even punish scientists who went against their beliefs.
4:56 Angela is so distressed, she started the TV, fell back asleep for about half hour, i heard her snoring but when she awoke (ten minutes before the alarm rang or when i got mad with something i wrote about above) she said she did not sleep (did not realize she slept like many times before).
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".
There was a big commotion in front of the building today letting me think they came to do what they haven'd done Friday. With a big vehicle idling in front of my window for hours. But in the end, it was nothing. Not completely nothing. They replaced the old dumpsters with new ones. Those had like up to an inch of garbage at the bottom. The reason they shook those so hard last Friday they created an earthquake and a micro weather system.
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.
So yes we have new dumpsters.
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.
Cause i never spilled oil or other fluids under the car before, i was real careful.
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.
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?).

3:45 PM Slept about 4 hours last night, about 5 hours at the car. The belt squeals when it's cold weather. I remember i once could replace the belt, when i replaced the alternator. Ok maybe not all the way. Back then i saw something at the tensioner and bought a new one. But the new one was the same. So i did not replaced it.
Now i bought a belt online and i had that tensioner and wanted to replace them both.
Trouble. I followed a video but the guy in the video had some pneumatic tool that shocks that T50 torx screw. What else can i say. It is stock in there. WD40 does not reach far enough. Could have some loctite on the thread. I broke two tools i just bought and nearly broke the screw, but it does not move.
So in the end i decided to just put the new belt in, to see what happens. Then i got two options. Buy and electric impact wrench. Go to a shop.
Trouble. There is very little space to work. The belt does a couple of S turns in there. I got a couple of tools, a long forceps and a little bamboo scratching hand with a screw perpendicular at one end. But you have to do it in a certain order.
And then the audience. They just move around, obviously with on other job but watch and taunt me.
By the time i figured what is the order i was so exhausted i could not stand next to the car. Total lack of exercise due to long inactivity due to the wound. Then when they figured, i wanted to go inside, they brought a helicopter, trying to suggest i left because of it. Since that did not work, they started a big fire up on the hill (south from here). I wanted to go back, but i think there is too much smoke. From time to time wind brings in poop smell.
BTW there was smoke when i started which smoke made me dizzy and everything slow motion, dropping tools (had to remove one wheel to retrieve one tool) etc.. Maybe that's why it took me so long and could not finish yet.
6:05 right before i came in an posted the above. A guy came with a German Shepard and peed right next to me. After i posted, i got hungry and tried to eat something. There was an open can with smoked fish that was very dry (not oily at all) and chocked with it.
Spent last half hour trying to vomit. I don't think i got rid of all of it but got better (no more pain at least). Went outside to finish the job. I put the belt last time in like 15 minutes but was not aligned right when the bolt head attached to the tensioner for the purpose of releasing tension got stripped.
Aluminum, 12 points, 17 mm, but is one mm less than 17 and the wrench was not grabbing it right. Now i was going to drill a hole in it so i can grab it with something to release tension to finish the job (align the belt). There is still smoke outside and the ice cream van is here, playing la cucaracha so i just got back inside.
In a way it's better in the dark cause i can see better with the flashlight in that narrow space, there is not so much contrast.
Ok i drank some tea and then some milk. Though it went down, i still feel like there's something in there. That kid that was yelling earlier like was slowly swallowed whole by a giant serpent started again to yell when that milk was making its way through my esophagus. I think it's got something to do with earlier, might have been a factor. He did that for about half hour before i came in.
8:00 When i started to drill that hole in that 12 points tensioner release bolt head (went easy, it is aluminum) a black car came next to mine. They when i started to pass a wire through that hole, about to pry it with a long stick, more people came and all started talking. They left when i was about done. It seemed to me like they came to pretend they helped me or even did it for me.
Once i pried the tensioner it was easy to first release the belt and then realigned it and apply tension again. It does not squeal anymore but it does a low rumbling noise which i believe is normal until it breaks in. The old belt had the surface hardened and shiny and was slipping. One day long and lots of lessons learned but smoke was a big factor. Smoke stopped not long before i went back inside and i do not feel that wasted aymore (because of it).

1:11 AM I wanted to take a break for at least one week from blogging. However tonight (i mean this morning) i saw another one close to 7 and went to look for correlations. And since i did it i thought it was worth a few clicks to do three screenshots to share.
It looks like i have discovered another factor. The tide did stay high for a while due to closeness but not overlapping of Sun and Moon tide. The pressure was moderately low, but the tides were at peak (near syzygy/ˈsizəjē/).
So i decided to quick start another blog named just like that. Earthquakes. With only earthquakes in it. Of course those next to oceans where there are recorded tides (there are also ground tides everywhere but that information is not publically available).
It took me a few clicks and a name (just to let you know how easy it is just with a gmail account), will take care later of the format, metatag for searches if i think i need it, and add a link here in upper right area of the main blog.
A blog free of politics and all the other issues fusses.
Ok a story from 100 years ago that fits the context. The earliest known scientificrainmaker. A contract that turned into a deluge (sorcerer apprentice?) Though it is not known what chemicals he used, it might have been silver iodide, which is currently used for seeding clouds, among others, like dry ice.
1:55 Ok i think i have a reason as why by example a raindance would work. The moves of the dancer or dancers could create low frequency waves that could tip the balance of a system and make the moisture in the air condensate.
BTW This morning i witnessed a very weird phenomenon. I said before the garbage truck is very heavy, 20 tons maybe. When it comes, it takes the dumpster that itself empty weighs hundreds of pounds maybe up to a ton with two horns, raises it above the truck and shakes it a few times. The size of the dumpster is big enough to create some shock waves that both shook the building and the ground and released some of the dust created yesterday by milling the redwood mulch with the mowers which then settled on buildings and walls.
2:05 Just to make things better, someone just slammed doors outside.
But the result of shaking the air was a gust of wind "sent by God" which raised dust and blew it it on me big time, exactly when i was going to the dumpster with a bag of poop i just picked. Minutes later the lady at 4 descended with an attitude of an Empress God and climbed into the black BMW.
The result was i was in pain all day and those who saw me at Walmart know. Tomorrow they will come again to pour asphalt in front of our building and then i get to drive after 2:30 and i cannot sleep because of the dust coming out of the yellow utility truck with the inscription SEATTLE EMPIRE parked again next to my car.
2:55 Since i started... The 16 year old suspect was walking on the street with a shotgun, entered the school, the bystander who happened to have a gun also entered, but he could not draw faster than the kid pumped his shotgun and fired multiple rounds before he was shot. Now the suspect is dead and the bystander is a hero. And i bet the kids they were shot where new in the area and nobody really knows them. All because the place is called Silver rai.
