6:00 Smoking upstairs? I think somebody left with the white car, inside here there is a pretty big amount of smoke. Mixed with dog poop that when diluted it smells like dirty laundry.
6:45 Went outside to look for poops. Could not find one but just the places where they have been, with grass burned out. The whole place around the building smells like it.
1:42 Got my tires from Amazon. They got some white markings on, wondering if those are not irregularities, because of the big sale. Got an appointment at 4 to a tire shop to install them. For that, i needed to make a call and now i feel it in the known already damaged areas of my body, especially feet and calves and hands. But i think it's worse after i smoke those 4 cigarettes Sunday.
3:30 Was almost done with Macron when they cut the internet at the other computer, then filled the area between buildings with a very chocking smoke, that also made me dizzy. Had to start over on the other one and then go and plug the holes.
11:10 Last thing first. About an hour ago i went for a test drive, one exit towards Wilsonville. Right when i merged from the ramp onto the first (out of three) lanes, i saw in the mirror aw white car comming at high speed from behind on a collisions course. I looked at the speedometer and i was 60-65.
I veered back onto the ramp, he veered after me, i was getting ready to pull on the shoulder when he went back into his lane and continued speeding and doing slalom among other cars, a bit cause he ran onto a compact group and had to slow while i was preparing to exit.
Was i under influence? I haven't been drinking today however while i worked at the car, i inhaled a lot of smoke coming from holes in the ground. But it did not affect me as much as other times.
Why was i working at the car? After having the tires replaced this afternoon (one thing i cannot do). A vibration at the engine prompted me to check the spark plugs. I was lazy when i installed then (forgot why i needed to wash the holes with alcohol by spinning on the thread a cotton ball soaked with alcohol held with a long forceps. The same problem like with the last car, spark plugs won't stay in there because of oil on the thread.
I ordered crushable washers and will attempt to take the new spark plugs out and clean the thread inside with the same procedure.
Then i also found a problem with a battery connector, fixed it and the vibration went away. Then when i came back from Walmart (after the test drive when it was fine), i felt a vibration again. At low speed, low RPM, low gear, hard pressing gas pedal, showing again an engine imbalance due to an electrical problem.
Then, purely out of paranoia, i pulled the right wheel and checked the drive shaft by rotating it though i did it a week ago. But tonight i thought i saw a side move, so i started the car without the wheel on, put it in the first gear and looked carefully. It does have about 1 mm (visible) eccentricity in the middle of it which means i need to replace it.
The same part that came with the car with an eccentricity of about 1 cm and that was at 70k, now it's got 52k more and has 1mm only.
12:10 Next day. That smoke outside all day knocked me out like those 4 cigarettes on Sunday. Feeling really tired.
