As i said, i had to leave yesterday after Angela came home. During the last part of the trip or after Grand Ronde i got smoked with exhaust with a vehicle ahead.
At Chinook Winds the rate of occupancy was the same as New Year probably due to an event in the event room but even after that started you could barely move around.
The moving around also seemed organized (as usually) in such a way at every time someone was watching me, especially when i was passing someone from behind. If nobody was watching than that person would turn around and stare at me.
We left with a positive balance of about 100 dollars. I knew when this happens something happens on the road and i should be careful, however last night i forgot. I was so depressed of what i saw inside i had a small drink before i left which led to much difficulty driving especially until i got at Shell Station next to Spirit Mountain where again the parking lot was full.
Then i drove until i got past Sheridan and for some reason i can't remember i cut the cruise control and at some time Angela told me to slow down cause i was doing 80 in a 55 while following a group of cars at some distance ahead of me while someone was pushing real close from behind for at least a few minutes.
Lately at every trip and that including yesterday when i went the other way towards Lincoln City i had to pull at least once because of too close tailgating especially because i'm afraid after that accident in 2021 when i got hit from behind.
It took me a few seconds to think but i remember i told her. What are those ahead and behind me doing, at what speed are they going. Then i realized it would be difficult to slow down with that guy so close behind me.
It is next to impossible to speed in there because of one lane and continuous line in the middle with very few passing areas and a couple of places with two lanes and usually all traffic slows behind some guy who does just above speed limit.
I was hesitating to take the foot off the gas pedal when i saw the SUV behind me starting to flash red and blue lights so i pulled over. I handed him the driver's license he asked me if i knew why he pulled me over, i told him i was just following the traffic and did not realize they were going so fast. Then he asked the same question again, in a different way which lead to the same answer.
I trusted the guys ahead because they never speed in that area, i drove about 80k in two years with this car only and maybe 100 times on that road in that period and never got pulled after that time with the other Elantra when again trying to pass a smoking guy in a red car with probably offending (to me) LPN, i went 90 downhill before the junction before Grand Ronde while crossing county line.
Ever since i watch my speed, especially since i got the talking GPS announcing me if i am over the limit and it was very rare that i go above speed limit plus ten.
He then asked for insurance and registration which took me some time to find them. Insurance proof was expired sine last October, All State never sends us new ones unless if asked for.
Then he took all three documents to his SUV and let me fret. I was projecting myself in in jail in the near future.
However he came back with a smile and ask me if i was going back to Tualatin then he gave those back to me saying "you should do us all a favor and slow down". Then, after feeling much relief, i became careless and could not help but saying. "It is you who did us a favor".
9:00 I remember that night when i was again passing through Sheridan, with wet roads, 32 degrees on the dashboard, by a cop who told me i was going too slow and was all over the lane after passing a "drift area" which usually pulls you off the road. Several miles later i met with black ice on a bridge.
Also first loud exhaust of the day, more than 5 minutes now. Now it's gone. More stomps and squeaks above.
9:48 To give you a bit of an idea of what's going on on the road wherever i go and generally in the "Pacific Northwest". I remember what that guy Lyle i was working with at Credence in 1996. "Everything that has NW in the name... ".

When i looked at him carefully i saw a big face with a blond and/or gray beard, in the same style with vice president elect Vance.
8:25 At this point she upstairs started her first steps of the day.

1:19 PM Just been to the Amazon locker to pick an item that was not from Amazon because i checked on Amazon site.
Angela kept getting these emails since Wednesday saying i have an item at the locker and i thought was a mistake since i had none in the list on Amazon site. Today's email that Angela found when we got back home said "your property will be removed from the locker to make room for other items".
It was the missing USBank debit card. It was shipped with UPS, i had no idea they were going to leave at the Amazon locker. On Angela's email because the online account with USBank was on Angela's name. However the card is canceled after last phone conversation with them, should now get a new one.
There was another story going on i don't want to write about right now. Unless is there is a follow up to it.
Neverminded it gets on my nerves too much by now.
In the last few days/weeks the mystery woman from building D closest entrance keeps getting in my way, saying hi like trying to be nice. However she always chooses the moment, like when i'm drunk and i go smoking or like tonight when i was dizzy from driving over Mt.Hood in one hell of a traffic (another long story i don't feel like talking about).
So again i was overly relaxed (and overconfident) and she came to me with her dog which sniffed me which i don't like and she told me among other things she got a new car, she said 2003 but i think it's much newer than that, maybe 2013. She said among other things like she had to fix too many things on her old car and i asked her if she does it herself cause i saw her once with a tool and she said she done all kinda s...t to her car.
Which confirms she is trying to simulate a conflict between us like in that night (election night actually) when she locked scared and called a neighbor to protect her.
And then she said she's got to find a visitor's spot cause it was parked on a neighbor spot and i said she could not possibly find one at this hour. However when i went to pick the envelope from the locker, half hour later, i saw her car already in a visitor spot. It had an Arizona LPN. Maybe it wasn't her.
There was a white car at the mailboxes casting the headlights on the area when her car was. When i got back the passenger in that car, an Asian young chubby woman, was laughing at me.
Last night i was working on my theory till 3 AM. and slept till seven. Angela waanted to go to Indian Head because we both like the location and some of the people there. She also had 120 dollars free play. It's a 100 miles drive over Mt.Hood. I fell asleep around 11 and stlept three more hours until 2 PM but still wanted to go.
On our way there was a several miles long line in the opposite direction on two lanes made of hundreds or maybe thousands of cars, right at the base of the mountain. I was a bit afraid i will have to turn around because of icy roads and meet with that line but the road was ok. I did not see any obstacle to justify that line. Maybe they were guarding the volcano from Xenu.
Between ten to twenty drivers interfered with my driving one way or another during my way there.
When we got back, hell on Earth. Big trucks with high beams tailgating all the time. One million cars blinding me from the opposite, but only in difficult curves, driving on a narrow trail in the red gravel which i could not see for seconds when those were passing.
In front, always an old junk smoking. On a 22 degrees temperature however there was no ice on the road or didn't see any. I told Angela the fish tasted weird. Got another diarrhea episode by the time i reached Sandy like last time when i ate fish and chips there and found a restroom. The attendant or someone came and knocked at the door though the store was empty.
11:15 I was rememorating the incident with the woman across the alley tonight and got mad and in that moment the woman upstairs or whoever is there dropped something on the floor.
