12:35 Or is it...  BTW after almost 24 hours since insulin, my BG is for the first time in years 170. Could the antibiotics have had a saying in this. Or the fact that i mitigated with 3 major sources of dust and two of mold. Or i ate cucumbers and had some moderate physical activity about 4 hours today... But yeah, the only difference is the antibiotics. And the fact i did not eat much. I don't know... 

I bet this was the song that prompted the commies to show the movie in Romania...


Trouble is, for now...


9:30 Went at the car to do the post-oil change checks. With engine cold i got 0.8 out of 1 within limits on the dipstick. Why is that important to me. If you have too much oil the pressure inside engine increases (no room for blow by gasses), efficiency of the engine decreases and you have chances of blowing the gaskets and creating leaks.

I started the engine with the catalytic cold and i felt mostly alcohol and unburnt fuel smell, with no burnt oil smell. Very little, thin oil in the catch can.

One unknown tall and curly guy with a purse and a dog medium size, white and brown, passed. Then he stopped, turned around and started to tallk with someone in the distance. Hi, how you doing and stuff. Then he went somewhere i thought he was going to the mailboxes, but a few minutes later he came back without the dog.

10:15 Ever since i got these two Elantras with the oil change interval at 5000 miles (8000 km) i got to realize one thing. No matter what they say on the bottles, oils cannot last more than 5000 miles. After that, they gradually start to breakdown, turning into something very fluid. Could it be the gasoline that slowly mixes in or just the fatty molecules break, i don't know.

I've been using synthetic blend, both Hyundai recommended Quaker State and then when i could not find it at Walmart and Amazon, i tried Castrol, that everybody says good things about. However now i see Quaker State is better.

10:55 Just figured something. I believe it's easier and more comprehensive to check the blow by pressure than do a compression test. All you have to do is remove the dipstick and attach a manometer. I read on forums you can do it at the PCV port too but it's less accurate.

Or you can do it like in this video LOL but you will get oil droplets all over (you and engine compartment). A worn out engine (or oil) will blow the cap more than a new one...

Yeah i believe it could be a good indicator as when to change oil... Why don't they install a pressure sensor with a dashboard indicator to tell you when to change oil?

2:41 PM She was briefly upstairs and she woke me up. Then i heard her talking in Spanish from 4. Then i ate and almost had a dysphagia episode again. The the guy with black BMW vibrated the building right after we ate. The place filled with dust so i grabbed the hose and went in the back. I hosed the walls and the side of her window that does not open. I avoided the other side and the screen because that side was open.

However she has a curtain at the window that imitates... drops of water.

It was all a trick, the dust came from the balcony at 4. Where also lives the guy with black BMW.

So both rogue princesses live here part time with their husbands. I believe they got diplomatic passports and with their rank the (corrupt) Police can't touch them.

3:13 We were ready to leave. Angela got 70 bucks free play at Lucky Eagle. 120 miles from here. I pulled .3 quarts of oil from the engine out of abundance of caution. When i was done one kid came to do some sort of weird ballet with a bat in the yard. Somebody came upstairs with a sack to grab more stuff i guess.

11:50 PM I thought i will get away tonight without reporting everything. But then wanted to say something that would have needed a reference to an earlier event and so i have to say everything.

So we went to Lucky Eagle. A huge congestion after downtown Portland with many unexpected stops and goes. Besides a few disguised to look blond, all i saw at the wheels were Japanese. Almost hit the vehicle in front, several times. Modest mileage, 38, i believe it was the wind. When i got there, i finally had the change to check oil level on a flat area. I was .2 quarts over the upper limit.

Angela made in there (with my help, i was cheating the AI playing her button, so from 70 free play we made 180. Was too lazy to go to IGA and buy a bottle of brandy and now we're without. We left after one hour. Then after 80 miles we enter at Ilani to get some pizza on Angela's bonus. During last ten miles, i became very sleepy, probably because of smoke ahead. At some point some guy flashed from behind when i was about to fall asleep, doing 80.

At Ilani there was a long line at pizza (one won't believe to what level the simulation may go). So Angela got same pastry and we left. It was then when the Nikkei started to go up. At the bridge, there is a curve to the left when entering, the speed limit slowed to 50, i was in the left lane and a white Tesla coming from behind like a bully then slowing, veered left in front of me while keeping in its lane, creating the illusion he was going to crash into me, but i followed its wheels and veered gently. If i obeyed my reflex, i would have certainly hit the concrete barrier, with much traffic coming from behind.

At home could not wait to pull some oil to get it off my chest. First, they were too many in the alley. Then they finally left, but there was this annoying loud crying Mexican music that threw me off.

Then when i wanted to start the pump, i realized the out line came out of the nozzle but i did not realize the nozzle was pushed inwards because i was in such a hurry and i just held it and started to pump. But some drops went on the asphalt.

Oil came out much faster with the oil being hot so i was done quickly. I tried to wipe those with some napkins but i actually made a bigger stain on the asphalt. Then i tried to wash those with hot water and dishwasher detergent, don't know if i made it better and some of that water flew in the alley "and people as passing by".

Then i remember that day when an out of state truck lost oil in the alley and i almost fell on that puddle. When the motorcycle from the guy above (BTW i think he is again in the complex at E7) leaked gas and oil mixture and smelled like gasoline for more than a week (time in which he was gone). Or the Chrysler that lost so much oil it made a hole in the asphalt and stank for a whole month or more.

Tonight i made a big discovery. Both Windows and Chrome have real time captions. Which means everything is played, like a ticktack video which i have sometimes big trouble understanding, is turned into text on the screen. I think translation is also possible.
