12:15 PM Finally went for a walk, thinking i will get away from the smells and vibrations here. It was ok for the most part as far as pollution. But when i got back on 65th, at Nyberg building they were a bunch of workers power sweeping the pavement at Whitney building, and a cistern full of liquid asphalt whatever. I saw a towing truck entering the Meridian Park next to the entrance of our complex, probably emptying it for the same operation.

Wanted to take a picture with the dust, there was always someone staring at me.

When i left i picked the poops and there was this contractor picking furniture left by those who moved out from a garage and hitting really heard every item on his truck bad, shaking the dust from building walls.

As i result i was engulfed with dust coming when living and when i came at Whitney building. Though it is only 65 degrees outside, i felt like i heated up badly because of the stinging dust.

As i threw the bags, the hippy guy from E4 came from behind and threw an open bag so the stink will stay here and in the apartment when i was gone.

8:50 PM Just went outside to check for poops. Found 2 identical bags, both open under a big sack that had a hole in it. Then i thought i should make a few steps on the battleground to check for more. As i was going uphill, towards south, a helicopter came to fly low in the direction of my high power flashlight. In the same time it was vibrating the tall wall full of cracks and releasing dust from inside.

I put the light off and waited for it to got, before i could remember i was near that wall. Found two poops but did not have a bag with me. Got to go back. My hole body is burning now. Every time i go there, there must be a big source of vibration going off. Either modified exhausts, slammed door, planes, airhorns on the freeway, name it. The stingy dust makes you feel hot while you are actually cooling down, lowering you metabolism and increasing blood sugar.

Just one example of how the ninja manage to screw you while playing the victim in the same time.

9:00 This is what i call the battleground area where i find most poops. It is between the garages at east and the other side of the building (Apts 1 and 3). After complaining many times about holes in the wall there, they finally fixed it but created instead more cracks high above ground next to the apartment 3.

9:05 I was exhausted in the afternoon both by the walk and new mole holes so i slept maybe 3 hours.

BTW there was some very weird smoke on the road while i was walking here. Then a tall sexy woman in her 20s with black pants, long legs and white shirt walking faster than me passed me on the other side walk, pushing a stroller, turned at the intersection and came back on mine. She did not seem to mind the smoke. I crossed only to run into a Japanese guy walking on that one in the same direction.

Then the woman with the baby stopped, sat in a squat position and started to talk with the baby. Then a German looking guy on a tricycle stinking badly came at the intersection.

When i awoke, i rushed to the car to check if there is any oil leak and take a picture of the filter which i forgot to do last night when i was too tired to wipe the oil that fell when i replaced the filter. There is no way to change filter on this car without spilling some, with or without oil in the engine.

When i took the picture, i saw a weird reflection showing now a piece of black rubber coming out of the filter. For about an hour i checked and doubled checked, i used the borescope camera and finally figured it was a reflection of the flashlight of the camera, like yesterday. The red color yesterday was coming from the label of the filter as the filter is very shiny.

But why now the label settled like 1/4 of turn more than yesterday, while i did tighten it the same, actually before it was jumping any flute.

My tool for tightening filters is feeble and does not allow much torque before it starts jumping flutes so i can never overtight with that.

But before i figured it was a reflection i tried to take the filter out with the same tool as yesterday and it was stuck. I think i will have problems when removing it next time.

No i can't go to Jiffy Lube. Every time i went there they screwed something. Trouble is this car si very low, there is very little space and i have to do it blindly.

Yes my skin is stinging all over from the dust i took earlier.

Since tonight when i tried to remove it and was stuck. The filter is 45 degrees more tightened than yesterday (the first time). I could try and use the other tool that is for removal only and causes some irreversible damage to the filter, but what if i cannot take it out with that one either?

I guess it would not have happened if i took a picture last night right after i put it on and tightened it the second time. 

Since yesterday after i found it loose, tightened it and went to Walmart to buy oil. Then i took it off and put it back on and tightened it the same as a couple of hours before. The red label is causing the red reflection. I never used those filters before. The OEM ones i always used do not cause such reflections. But that day when i ordered it Amazon said there was a problem with the supplier and pushed this one instead.

Here what i thought tonight was a piece of black rubber sticking out of the  joint. It was a reflection, not seen in the picture above taken from a different angle. Another illusion, a reflection of the bottom of the filter makes it look smashed. 

Last summer at some point all cats disappeared, mysteriously. One has come back, with a vengeance. It's got an evil expression on its face 😈when it looks at me. Yesterday i found a big cat poop in the grass, hard to see among mold holes. Cat do not go usually in the grass, they look for a spot with spot soil (or dust).

The race with the moles. I plug one, another one pops next to it. Trouble is sometimes cartridge smoke its coming out of those, for hours and some gets inside..

10:10 I was committed to go and pick the two poops i saw earlier on the battleground next to the wall. They are now conditioning the wall with much door slams.

10:15 Modified exhaust in the distance.

10:35  The dust is slowly eliminating from lungs and getting into the esophagus, causing me an insatiable hunger. The other mechanism of raising blood sugar through stinky, mineral, electrified dust.

10:55 I remember once in HS one of the colleagues (the one who looked like singer Gheorghe Gheorghiu) came with a piece of paper with an unintelligible drawing on it. But when he put the shiny metal cap of a fountain pen on a certain point, pretty much in the same way the shiny cylinder in the picture, a naked woman would magically appear on the cap. Hungarian painter, Budapest. 

11:00 Angela bought half gallon of milk yesterday at Fred Meyer (owned by Kroger). Today i made some coffee, added some and it tasted weird. She boiled it tonight and i drank some with two English muffins (dust caused hunger) and it did not make a crust like normal milk would but a foam with tiny gas bubbles and it still tastes weird. (In Romania we always boil milk and when it cools it leaves a one mm thick solid crust).

11:55 There is a new light on the corner of the building. It is good cause it shines on the dumpster but only half of the battlezone, which is pretty circulated if not only by dog owners, day and night. But i don't believe it was on when i went the first time. Had a bag with me, found only one of the two poops i saw earlier, with that light and phone's flashlight.

I made a few steps backward and tried to take a picture of the building with the extra light, the flash was on because of pics taken earlier under car, a helicopter came by again, but i turned that off by the time it was in line of sight.

Amazon locker gave me great emotions tonight. I knew i had 3 items, they were 5, 4 on a top box (good thing Angela did not try to pick them, (i had instruction written on my account, not to put them on top row), even myself could not see to the bottom of the box so i started to jump for that, in the meantime the locker closed the session, and i had only one code. Good thing it was for the only item it was not in that box so the locker opened the other box while using the same code, again.

They were some boots with fur i bought for my leg, the size is good but they are way too stiff. Buying shoes and boots on Amazon, mission impossible.

Thee was a woman hidden behind some cars on a dark alley next to locker, but i chose to go on the main one. When i got back here, i started to hear another helicopter again flying very low.

I went back with my flashlight and finally could see that one hidden in the grass. Good thing cause there was another open bag in the dumpster. The air was loaded with dust from the three helicopters passing by.

12:47 next day. Another example of an optical illusion i picked from the street. They have been working on this fence and yard for at least one year. They removed some large trees there, put new ones and then they built a new fence and a deck. Last couple of times i walked on that newly paved street i saw people sunbathing in bathing suits over there so i could not take a picture. But today it was overcast and i could. The beds for sunbathing are blended with the solar panels on the next building.

7:20 Today when i awoke i was like paralyzed. Later in  the afternoon i went to pick up garbage items and poops. There was an an overturned Gatorade bottle with a clear yellow liquid in it and loose cap on the red mulch. That creates a nasty mold smell inside and outside but mostly inside. Food wraps usually coming from items like what i ate last, to train that type of bacteria. A broken phone with smashed window (face).

Antibacterial redwood mulch creates very nasty strains of mold or bacteria. Must be some ancient knowledge, witchcraft or magic as they call it but it works. I was like a zombie all the way to this moment when i write here. Or could it be something they tried to warn me about, vaporized or burnt mercury, a strong alchemical symbol. Another one is sulfur of which drywall is made of (calcium sulfate),

Both can be seen in representations on a table within the the so called Chamber of Reflection, where the apprentice mason signs his commitment or something.I never mastered the art of uploading multiple files at once so they can come in the right order on the blog. This time they came in a weird order so i will just try and comment.

This one came first because it is a screenshot and i just done it, just to show the exposure time. It was 1/640. Though i was moving (at low speed, maybe 5 mph), it should not come out blurred. The man had a hoodie anyways.

At the intersection they were these two "classic" cars that can put any kind of exhaust they want (no regulations). They started in the same time with me at full power and the wind brought the exhaust in our direction for the next minute or so. Angela kept telling, how must have been at the time all cars were like that. Ok i said, they weren't that many. But one or ten of those in a downtown in a city would have been enough.

Last one first. I went at Walmart to buy some oil so i can change the filter thinking it was damaged. There was a line of water on the pavement suggesting my car was leaking something, but it was already there. In the spot where i like to park if it's empty. I went to check oil level and a whole cascade of events started right after until exited the store and on the street. Don't have time to write them all right now.

When Angela came from work i managed to go at the car to check oil level and it was low. With this car is very complicated, because when it sits on a slope like here it shows less then when level and when the engine has just stopped is shows less, for hours.

Then i had this idea to try and see how tight was the filter and it was 1/4 turn loose. Then i said to myself ok, better take a picture to see the position like i did always when i was tightening it, to see if it gets loose again in a few hundreds miles or what. But in the picture i saw that red thing and thought it was a solid piece of a gasket or something, caught in there and i thought the filter might be damaged.

So first i went to Walmart to buy a jug of mineral oil (had some blend but synthetic lives a solid residue in the catch can).

So i grabbed a new filter (which i bought to study), put it in there but saw nothing on the one i pulled out and thought maybe that piece of red rubber got stuck on the engine. So i just pulled the new filter back off and took a picture and there was nothing there, just a drop of oil. So the phone camera tricked me i said. But how come the oil drop on the engine in another picture with the filter off came out of normal color?

However there is a groove in the filter that was filled with oil, maybe a quarter of an once or something that would have kept dropping. So in the end i just put the old filter back in there thinking it's got a better gasket. But keep blaming myself. How come i never figured to try to take a picture or tighten it after the oil level kept going down?

Maybe because i thought it was coming out of the engine by the valve cover and i think it was and after i tightened those bolts somehow the filter became loose all by itself though any mechanic knows, these filter may get stuck but they never come loose especially suddenly after a few thousands miles.

So yes i was leaking oil big time by the filter, the men shifted again the paradigm to make the other leak forgotten and have a reason to smoke me, on the street and at  home. And yes we got a few nights in Reno by the end of the week. Could the drive had completely depleted the oil in my engine in a few hundred miles, creating the risk of engine seizure at high speed. 

Those two synched with the car in front of me showing the number OLD. But it was not only these cars synched. The all are. What is that, a stinking boat figuring a car, going backwards, like in Back Street Boys?

Yes i knew they were going to do something epic if i fix that leak by the valve cover. What next now?

Yes i got the chills after laying on the pavement at the car with only some pieces of corrugated plastic under. I used to have some pieces of foam for that, they got all dirty and threw them out.

About 10 minutes prior to that. They made a fire in the direction of the American flag, on September 13. But they were echoes on the street even today, with a fire engine on I5 (a rare sight) with one flag on each side.

09:06 Now i believe i should have not put back the old fiter, though i did not see any red stuff on it though it was overturned in that plastic tub i put under car with some oil at the bottom and wiped out anything that was in that groove. Thinking. Did i have that stuff on the filter when i was driving down on I5 and i nearly got in an accident with that black Honda? They would have find it, right? On September 11, right? That guy was a hero.

Yes i bought during previous days some dentist syringes because i wanted to squeeze some RTV in the gaps around the seals of the valve cover as the nozzle of the pressurized tube was too thick. But those do not come with needles and were too thick to squeeze something in that groove. And i did not go under the car after i got those.

The red stuff also looked like it was refreshed recently. Like when i tightened the filter before i went at Walmart maybe it got squeezed?

Yes i had in the trunk of the car a one quarter half empty bottle of transmission fluid which is also bright red.

And writing above about Chamber of Reflection was all coincidence. I never knew about...

10:45 There is one more possibility. I have a transmission fluid leak that ends in the oil filter groove. What?

9:44 next day. I now remember i had reddish engine oil a few times in the past, soon after i got the car.

12:40 AM

6:00 PM I was right. Tightening those two bolts did it. For the first time i smelled the smell of the ocean again in the parking lot at Chinook, after going briefly inside. But when i got back inside the car, it was still stinking mainly like oil to me in that moment. It will take a while until the car starts clearing.

More than that, something unexpected happened. I started to have noticeably more power with pressing gas pedal and the mileage got even better than before this summer. Now i am trying to remember since when it went down so badly (around 37 per long trips), and 39 after i replaced the spark plugs.

Explanation could be. Vibration of the upper part of the cover could translate into fooling the MAP sensor and  generally loosing vacuum by the spark plug seals.

On the trip between Florence and here i did 41.2 (trip report) and that during day time with many stop lights and some city traffic in the way. At Walmart in Newport i  had more than 43 but then maneuvering in the parking lot there, at Chinook, getting mad and accelerating uphill to pass some guys on the hills of Cascade Mountain range, etc..

8:11 PM We got back at 3 rivers for two nights. First question i wanted to ask google. After i listened to Evanescence in the car and it sounded to me a lot like Kelly Clarkson i heard earlier though more stylish. I think i remember them from back then but i have always been confused. In the end Kelly won and Evanescence was forgotten. What do you think my friends?

9:00 PM Every time when i leave for a trip like this within the first half hour of the trip while my brain circuitry warms up a little from driving and then i realize what i should have searched for and write here on the blog (like when i search for something in the apartment and always find the item i was searching before) . Here we are 5000 years after all these happened (or not) and still being caught in the conflict between Innana and Dumuzi. Whose side are you on, my friend?

3:55 PM Angela came from work and stores. There are some itemes in the trunk i need to pick, but milady is right there behind the car.

6:03 Just remembered. Sunday evening, after i went on tiktok to see recent posts i posted this and this and then i left the room at about 7:50 PM. I think i deleted those and everything else i posted that night.

They had one ready. A Japanese guy looking like a Chinese came out of the door and walked with me to the elevator. How do i know he was not Chinese? Have you ever been near an obviously Japanese real ninja in mission and felt the tension?

He got out of the door of the long corridor and was walking with me in a synched way, under the camera above. I was like hypnotized, could have turned and walk back in the room, must have been the exhaust i've been breathing during my drive there.

Then a woman came from another room kinda in the same way, but she got in the other elevator, didn't want to go down with us. Once the door was closed, it took like a minute for the elevator to start. He was covering the buttons with his body and did not see if the pushed the button or not.

Then i waited like a minute in the hallway. Did not want to get on the casino floor in the same time with him. When i went, he was waiting around the corner and started walking with me again, but i stopped and let him go.

I saw him at least a couple of times during that evening and the next day. Didn't stay long, i had diarrhea, with pain that lasted until after midnight when i finally fell asleep. The room was smelling terribly, had to stay with open window. Just before i left i saw and recognize her with her girlfriend passing by.

There was a guy looking like him at Chinook, for years. He was playing at max bet (like i did several times by mistake and once even won) and was winning all the time big money. How do i know. I passed by him when he was betting. I saw the guys paying him.

7:10 PM where it all comes from all the way to alchemists and Aleister Crowley and all the rest.

9:09 PM No matter at what hour or how many times a day i go outside, i get to see milady. In very short shorts, she kinda stops and stare at me for a second before going places. When she did so today i remembered something. Up until she moved here, almost 2 years ago, there was a girl almost woman who was doing the same. Very short shorts, not very tall but well proportioned with lots of attitude.

One day she kept getting on the alleys in the direction i was picking poops (an activity that went on for a very long time). I started to look at her, she stopped, turned towards me and gave me a lock like... what?

Today i realized why DD Gatton looked so familiar to me. I think it was her.

Back in Lake Oswego i had as neighbor Kelly Clarkson. Who at times was doubled by an Asian, Jinichi Kawakami's assistant in that video at TedEx. One day she showed with now deceased husband who kinda told me i was dumb (because i never tried anything with her, maybe?). She was next to him, again in a hot summer day in very short shorts and stuff and giving me the look. She got her own TV show after, so did DD.

8:40 AM I am experiencing what i called in the past a day after driving high because of again breathing exhaust gas for 360 miles or about 6 hours of driving. I remember i was telling Angela. Even with the old 96 Nissan which was always leaking oil at the cover gasket, i was still able to smell the smell of the ocean when driving on 101.

As i said above, i had a defective valve cover, but from what i am seeing now, that alone should not have been caused a leak. There was (must have been) a second defect at the gromet sealing the same well. Though i saw a leak at the gromet next to it. 

After several trials with different covers and gaskets i put in a new part i bought from Amazon that proved ok, with a felpro gasket, however i did not replace the gromets (four black rings) they were on the new part with the ones that came with the felpro gasket because it seemed difficult though it wasn't, i thought i did not have problems with those. That defect was actually a distraction.

And that's where it's leaking right now and that does not depend on how i torque the cover's bolts, they stay there and seal with the help of the pressure inside which is pulsating though. But the leak did not start right away after i put those things in. It started about a year when i started to notice missing oil.

In other words, i never fixed the issue.

The leak is blow by gas from the engine which contains raw, unfiltered or not converted by the catalytic exhaust, with much carbon monoxide and also unburnt fuel and oil vapor and droplets and is not visible because the gromets are visually covered by the ignition coils. and is not big enough to pass those as liquid. The oil gathered around the well goes down back in the engine after the end of each drive.

They do it because of their physiological need and obsession to gas people (the humorous part) but it has a practical purpose as well. When i get somewhere, i am dizzy and they can do their scripted scenes around me better. But lately i was just staying in the room or in the car, incapable of going on the casino floors.

I would have to say this design with overhead cams and spark plugs deeply buried inside engine's head passing though the valve cover is inherently risky, possibly exposing people to exhaust fumes if anything goes wrong. It all depends of 4 stupid pieces of rubber.

In Romanian press appeared a bizarre news about a "Russian spy" that was taking pictures in Romania and also "sabotaging" though they were not specifying what exactly what matching on keywords and concepts my last night's mishap with the pictures disappearing from the phone (that was not in network or wi-fi or bluetooth) and the possible sabotage of my car again after i replaced the defective cover.

822 Just tried and took some pictures of the old cover (which i kept). The pictures again disappeared. I got 51 Gigs used out of 64 on my phone. I really do not wish to reset it. I would prefer to buy another one from Walmart for 50 bucks like this one and swap the SIM card.

Anyways after i took apart those gromets i looked and saw there is a design and fabricati RTV stay if there is nothing to hold the gromet but the pressure and its shape in the grove?

All i can do is try since i have no option to replace the car.on problem that is probably not unique to my car. The sealing is done by crankcase pressure alone and by the fitting of the gromet in a groove inside the cover. The material is too hard and does not "hug" the space it seals. 

I think i could improve it a bit by squeezing some RTV in there, but not around the well. And will the

Wait a minute. An idea jus came to me. Why not try and fill the visible gap that now is soaked with oil with RTV without even taking the cover apart which would save me lots of time?

10:10 Ok i found a work around the phone problem and saved the pictures on the PC. You can see the original cover with the machined part. After i removed the gromet today for the first time i saw i had wax under it. Not under first two on the left though there is oil in there. From the waxy synthetic oil that i don't use anymore because it solidifies inside the catch can. The part that was wiped out accelerated the process. But it is proof those gromets leak.

BTW i removed the poops about half hour ago. Now when i took the pictures outside i saw it smells again. One Asian little guy came but picked while i was posted above. 10:52 Felt very nauseated, like about to fain. There was also this mold smell in the air. I found an open can with some drink left on it, other weird items next to bush, a paper cup and a branch on top of it. Foud again an unkotted poop bag next to dumpster. The nausea subsided but i don't know for how long. I forgot the back door unlocked.

11:11 Amazon gave me free delivery today on the RTV. I heard a noise at the door like someone threw something on the deck and thought it was them. After about 30 seconds until i finished the paragraph i was working at i went to check only to see a guy passing on the alley.

5:22 PM Angela wanted me to cook the traditional borș (with beets). She dug for ingredients and found a bag with again one completely rotten potato. The reason i was so sick this morning. When i did it last time last week (the borș) i looked particularly for old bags and looked at each and every potato in the one she just bought, used half and i bagged the rest.

But it could be all a cover for those poops with diarrhea. I also found this morning a poop with mold on right in front of the back toor. BTW it has become challenging to find them because of so many mole mounds in there.

I was looking to buy a new (cheap) phone from the Motorola series at Walmart and i say they have a moto g play 2026 but the rear camera has been downgraded from 50 quad pixels for 2024 (mine) and 2025 which basically is 12.5 optical pixels (each quad pixel is made of 4 pixels for low noise and higher sensitive) to 32 quad which means 8 optical on the same size senzor, for better sensitivity in low light and was hesitating.

But i fell asleep after Angela cleaned in there and i put an UV lamp in that cabinet and the phone alarm (for insulin shot) set at 10 AM rang and then i knew why my phone deletes photos. It does not delete them but when they are sorted they go to the year 2023 or the year the phone thought it was right now.

Yesterday at Spirit Mountain i sat on it outside to smoke and i heard the phone restarting and since it's off network all the time, it did not catch the current hour and date.

As for why it blurs critical pictures, like that F350 in Florence which cut in my way or the ones yesterday with the guy who almost hit me from behind if i did not accelerate in Depot Bay i think, i have no idea.

I started the phone and tossed it on a chair and went in the other corner in the room but when i came to take it, it got locked, i had to draw that security thing with my finger, it took me a few seconds and now i feel the pain in my hand, ears and the wound at my left foot which is getting better by the day. Now in my face and belly.

8:00 PM Finally got back here and uploaded the pics from the phone in the PC and now on the blog. I lost best moment of the day to do so also because of the ice-cream van. But i believe one can guess there is oil on the visible part of the gromet on the last cylinder on right, but why do i remember there was some on the one next to it too.

Also figured that gas might have escaped by that bolt that holds the middle of the gasket to the engine head. Thee are two of them and i could torque them a little, both, to about the same torque i put on all the bolts around the gasket. Tomorrow when i get those bent tip dentist irrigating syringes i will squeeze some RTIV in those gaps where now it oil. Isn't one of the main ninja strategies, to exploit enemies' gaps?

8:08 AM Today they are giving away ice-cream making machines here at 3 rivers and i tried to talk Angela out of it but no, she wants it maybe to gift it someone, cause none of us is eating ice-cream anymore, so i'm just gonna have to live with it in the trunk of the car.

Kenny Rogers is known in Europe but Willie Nelson, the other great pole of country music is not.

9:09 PM Don't know if anybody remembers the post about the defect valve cover. There was missing an entire cylindrical part of the cover that was done through injection of the composite in a matrix. It was clean cut like with a milling machine and put back on the car. Blow buy gas was coming through there. It has oxidized the exposed metal parts of the coil and the metal became brittle and part of it was vaporized.

I bought one online, in fact i bought two, had a problem, it was leaking, i did it 4 times trying different gaskets and RTV types and amounts and in the end i got it right.

However when i replaced the spark plugs when was that 2 days ago i saw there was oil around the spark plugs well. There are parts of the gasket that seal those wholes too. Apparently i did not torque enough the two screws that take care of those but i refuse to believe so. Blow by gas that has oil vapors or even droplets of oil are coming out pushed by it. I wiped the cover downstream from those and there was a film of oil, though invisible because i had some dust on the surface. Some of it was getting on the hot exhaust there.

While i did so i noticed the engine and the whole engine compartment was smelling really bad like oil and exhaust. Could be the reason i am "exhausted" at the end of long trips. Angela is not so because i breath more because i am being active at the wheel.

I took some pictures, wanted to post them here, it was about an hour ago, i grabbed the phone, saw the last picture on the camera app, zoomed it to see if it's sharp enough, then i attached the card reader with the card to the phone to copy the pictures but they were gone. Also some important pictures with cars with crazies that tried to get me into an accident tonight are out of focus.

8:48 AM Aceeași metodă de a dubla tot ce scriu pe cuvinte cheie, subiecte asemănătoare.


10:25 PM Currently have several health problems. One infection of the parotid glands (both sides) from talking in the past too much on mobile phone. It extended to the inner ear and i am dizzy most of the times. The leg wound seems better if i keep it warm inside a thermal boot that was part of the crooked boot they gave me at wound center. Inflammation of the esophagus from various reason, including driving behind cars that too often go on shoulder and raise dust. It makes me eat a lot and that raises my blood sugar. And one more urgent but temporary problem that makes me stay in my room. Also have slept very little last night and i am very tired.

10:18 AM Today i replaced the spark plugs. I had NGK Iridium rated 75k that had been there for 100k or almost 5 years, mostly freeway. I initially ordered them on Amazon (i think it was the 100k type for 60 bucks) but the package was slightly damaged so i returned them and bought the 75 k type (not laser welded) from Autozone.

The gap was unchanged after 100k. There was some whitish deposit on one of them and a bit of carbon on the base metal on all. Those are mighty good spark plugs, i recommend to anybody.

When i got them all out i took advantage of the situation and stuck a borescope camera in there. Could not turn the camera towards cylinder walls to see if they still got those crosshatch patterns but i would not expect to have them after 180k miles.

I think i saw on one piston the same peeling white deposit i saw on that spark plug. Will come back with a picture.
 
I put back in Denso Iridium (50 bucks instead of 80 would have payed today for NGK on Amazon) and after a test drive i saw no difference in mileage but the engine does sound smoother. Got to do a longer drive to see.

10:55 AM At 8:45 local (11:45 Eastern) i went to smoke. But there was already smoke outside. After that i came back inside and gathered some tools, ate a little (can't even remember for sure or what i ate) and went back. I poured 3 jars of 32 ounces each of cement in about ten mole mounds and ridges. Every time i was plugging the smoke around subsided. Every time i was getting close to the alley a guy was comming at a car or truck nearby.

After i did that i came and took bags and went for poops. My clothes were full of cement dust from mixing with soil.

Have to say here. The cement bought at Home Depot as Portland cement has about half lime dust in it (calcium carbonate or hydroxide can't remember). Is not nearly half as good at the one i bought years ago at Ace. The moles after a while are digging back through it.

However that one is in 50 pounds sacks and hard to handle inside the apartment, this one is in smaller cardboard boxes. 

I found the regular number of poops at this hour but then i realized i forgot to look at the sign (i am very careless, i take it because of the smoke). When i hurried back to look i found a couple of huge, fresh piles just brought in. In other words, i was at the other side of the building and they already brought a new one were  picked before.

I went and finished. The Asian mail guy was hitting really hard the mail boxes. There was a guy at the dumpster picking big items like big TVs, i saw a chair, etc. There was this pickup with the word ROYAL. Again no care in the world but i will come back with the pictures i took. When i got inside the lingering smoke and poop smell was still strong.

Almost forgot. At 8:45 i went to smoke and than ate, at about 9:45 i went outside.

11:30

11:35 Ok i was craving another cigarette, went back outside, the weird smoke is still there, i could plug only about half of the mounds or the ones closest to the building. Next time. Got to find some real cement too. My day can start now?

11:45 I wrote extensively about magic these days. Also about HS though i just started. It will be a long chapter. Proful de franceză.

Ieri noapte am văzut încă un episod din Stargate Atlantis. Filmul e mai blând decât cele americane, chiar în scenele mai violente. Apropo, după 10 episoade Prime îmi bagă acum reclame la greu. Era cred 11, ăla cu furtuna. Filmul e canadian. Mă gândeam mereu la aliana aia de Teyla, nu-mi puteam lua ochii de pe ecran.

Am căutat despre ea suficient de mult ca să aflu că vine la un comic con în Portland pe 10 sau 11. LOL mi-a dat google răspunsul tot în română pentru cele două cuvinte românești din întrebare. Poate mă duc, îmi plac Sci-Fi-ul și evenimentele acestea.

Sci-Fi Sci-Fi dar nu cred că s-ar uita nimeni la ele dacă nu ar avea asemenea atracții. Apropo mi-am amintit o fază.

3:50 I am pretty sure this is a news/event fabricated to counter the shock of the news (to many) about the war of Scientology with IRS (which is a part of Federal Government BTW) and the 2500 lawsuits.

And she looks a bit like Teyla isn't she. 

12:22 AM. It was stinking. The wind now blows from west. They were no poops in the back. However i found two huge ones in the space behind lady's car. Yes next to daycare. Yesterday a new mole ridge appeared next to the concrete platform which is the balcony. I used one paper cup with cement and some water and mixed it the soil excavated by the moles and plugged the hole.

Today instead of the black SUV with a red on black crown they put in the spot next to ours or from wind's direction a yellow utility vehicle with gravel in the back and a shovel on top.

I can't think my poor Latino neighbors ar so organized. This is ninja behaviour.

Tonight we were both lethargic and slept throughout the evening. When i went outside to find the smelling source i saw another mole ridge under the main door. In an area where i poured cement before.

Supermoles who dig through cement? So i grabbed some more to pour, but a "Latino" guy came and climbed the stairs exactly in those seconds, and he was downstream wind.

Most unusual, nobody else was outside during the half hour i have been there. Total silence. Can i conclude the main task force here were Sciento and they are now ashamed of what i posted about their war with IRS and basically American Federal Government? Out of 2500 lawsuits, how many should have been tossed by judges as being frivolous or on the same case?

12:50 At the right of the shadow of the phone.

Times are a-Changing in Tualatin

Every time i enter Wilke Rd and climb the hill entering the white neighborhood of Tualatin village (between Nyberg and Borland) where i see blonde German women walking on the street in a hurry and watching fearfully and proudly around them, there must be either a Hurley or other type of vehicle with stinking exhaust climbing that hill, living a trail behind for me to breath while climbing. Pretty much the same as in the first part of my walk when i climb on 65 towards Borland.

This time it was a 70s pickup, i usually am asleep at that our (also because of mole gas) and it takes me some time to pull the phone, but this time i had the phone in my hand from previous picture and i caught its tail.

1:35 AM The first three days of this week market was totally driven by oil price which in turn was driven by Trump, so i asked myself, could anybody make money knowing in advance what Trump will do or say?

1:40 PM From the signals i just got from tiktok. Lately i have come to believe that due to the lack of predators, them being on the highest top of the food chain in the holy forrest, also because most people see them as harmless, growing on the crop of failed actors and wannabes that constantly come to LA, they (the Church of Scientology) have absolutely no diplomatic skills, never having to negotiate anything with anybody.

Built of some wonderous principles (of the occult, like sex magic or sex symbols whatever) written by Ron Hubbard, and mostly on secrecy or better said outside the main view of public, they went by his scriptures and succeeded all these years with Miscavige apparently being their absolute ruler but he could be only an interface to Hubbard which i think is still alive.

But when it came to trouble, they resorted to brute force attacks, shocking episodes of recent history that again most people never heard of, like in Snow White operation or more recently, the war with the IRS which seems a helpless child when compared to them.

No i am not their predator. I am the donkey who bites back.

4:33 I wanted to go and smoke the second half cigarette of the day, but the ice-cream van came first. It is now at the 4th or 5th song and still here. They play today different songs than usual, like If Your Happy and You Know it i first head in Germany in 1972 or Row Your Boat and things in theme with what i write. Twinkle Twinkle and When the Saints go Marching in.

5:10 I finally went to smoke my cigarette, in the back, some 100 ft away from the alley. The ice cream van was now(then) playing further away or out of sight the song from Love Story.

When i was about done or a few puffs later, a tall guy came in the balcony at 4 (the people with roaring black BMW) and started to cough. I made a few steps on the right thinking my smoke got to  him (50 ft away) only so see in my line of sight now a brown woman loading a baby into a gray car on the alley in front of daycare ad D5.

I Xtinguished my cigarette and went inside, while a small plane coming out of nowhere roared above, simulating chasing me (but the car was gone). I sat here to write this paragraph (entry) above when i saw a thin maiden with a long red hair on her back with a huge shepard feet away from the open blinds. She did a dance, furthered away, pooped the dog and i think she picked.

It seems to me it is all a highly synchronized game driven by AI.
