September 30

1:26 Din seria. Am citit pentru dvs.. Într-o limbă română gândită și scrisă ca a doua limbă. Timp scurs, jumătate de oră din viață. Țara se diluează iar contribuitorii ne pun creierul pe moațe confundând nevoia de a poseda cu dorința sinceră (în timp ce  undeva plutind pe deasupra politicieni falși își dau cu moțiuni precum ciorile sau corbii uneori se războiesc cu șoimii).

Despre efectul distructiv al falsei plagiaturi aluzive a impostorilor care de fapt nici măcar nu au fost vreodată în pușcărie deși ne fură mereu bugetul, banii de infrastructură, viitorul fizic în timp ce ne dau teme imposibile pentru acasă spre bulirea și nebăgarea noastră de seamă.
10:57 They continuously adapt, though they keep doing the same thing. In my case, maintaining my image they worked so hard on for decades. Maximum efficiency, smallest possible changes with largest desired effects (using ordinary, contextual means), like Asimov would say. What pisses me off is they have to keep me in an area of very low reputation with very little freedom.

There was smoke inside this morning, enough to create some nose congestion that would turn me dizzy if i keep breathing (hard) on my nose, i had to call a few people regarding buying a car at an auction, then i rushed outside. People smoking in the alley again from wind's direction combined with pieces of garbage on the red mulch in a more distant area from same wind's direction. I picked those, i thought i saw a wet piece of clothing next to a balcony so i could not go and pick it up.

I went for a walk but instead of going towards park in took a right on Sagert and came back through a residential area using google maps for navigating. Though it's 61 degrees outside i was feeling kinda hot and did not zip my rain proof jacket that has a tendency to fall off my shoulders and off me if unzipped, kinda sleepy, kinda relaxed when i saw a car coming from behind, tried to straighten my jacket when i saw the gar was actually a google car taking street pictures. From now on, i started to become a critic of those cause i felt on my own what it means an invasion of privacy from the part of google.

Got home, picked the mail, my phone went off at 10% battery, as i said, every time i start it the settings keep changing. (That would create enough confusion as where i was at that time).

2:42 I think it was not only the cucumber i ate yesterday that lowerd my BS with 100 after eating. Could had been almond butter, coffee, a bit of grapefruit juice with water, being active and out (of this environment with dog poo) all morning, i don't know, trying to reproduce. Wanted to go out, i open the door and what do i see parked behind my truck? I share it here because they did the same, that day when i "forgot" the keys in the door, they put a flyer on my door knob with zip lies though i have ziply as provider already. What i'm gonna see next? A Youcon or RAM truc?
9:51 Am aflat asta cu ceva timp în urmă, vreo 2 săptămâni cred. Am ezitat (nu se poate, fiica mentorului și colegului meu de cameră 3 luni) și de bancă (tot liceul), care probabil era cu vreo 10 ani mai mare ca mine. Între timp la Iași au pus-o de-un scandal, parascandal, ca să acopere preventiv.

10:22 Iar nu am fost atent să văd cât îi trebuie tipului de sus să se "trezească" (presupun că doarme fiindcă e foarte liniște în ultimele zile), începând din momentul când postez ceva nașpa despre japonezi.

Am auzit primul zgomot acum aproximativ 5-10 minute, postarea a fost la și 35, câte minute sunt de atunci, vreo 40.

September 29

5:35 US debt clock, world debt clock. Question. Where all these money go, if every country (state, government) is in debt?

506 trillion yen is 4.5 trillion dollars. Apparently, Japanese companies don't need to operate on short term loans like the American ones from FED, a semi-private institution. Nevermind that.

5:44 M-am prins. Ce face Iohannis pentru dvs., în SUA se spune "charm offensive". Și încă ține, după opt primi miniștri
6:00 Cațavencii
4:41 It smells really bad like mold inside and no amount of chlorine helps. So i went outside to pick garbage. A new type of item, used baby's pad, not far from where the mat has been (there was a perceptible stench around it, pretty similar to what i have in the apartment right now). The more traditional half full 16 oz water bottle with a cap and the neck facing my apartment. Many others, most on the (redwood, sequoia) mulch, some on grass. I was not alone. When i picked a small toy, a kid showed, etc.. There are some bushes next to the upper garages, in the furthest coin of "the court" as i call the enclosure between buildings and garages visible from my windows, smell like dog poo, but never been able to find any.

5:20 Just lowered my blood sugar from over 300 to 200, after eating a meal including a few small pieces of cucumber. With all the money spent every year for grants, 80 billions handed to individuals, including 30 to students, rest up to 500 billions (half trillion or 1/6 of the annual 3.2 T budget deficit) to firms, and they still don't know why cucumber lowers blood sugar, not to talk about some medicine based on it or God forbid, a cure for diabetes.

September 28

1:01 No it's not... Tesla is the first electric supercar. Maybe not

7:58 Anywhere the wind blows they got a family scroll with a formula. Got five hours of sleep, woke up with signs of urinary infection. For a while i  thought it was truck's sit, which is made of fabric and is 23 years old. Tried to get more sleep but the whole apartment is stinking really bad and it keeps me awake.

This morning my truck started a new squeak. I went around the buildings to try to reproduce it and saw the mat. Goot thing i did. Now i know where it's coming from. This mat, baby seat (yes, next to red mulch) has been out in the rain for days. It somehow resonate with the bulging floor inside (due to water vapor from clogged drier vent in the basement). Fiberboard floor is made with glue based on animal collagen.
I took the picture above at 7:14. Then i took the baby chair first to the garbage. Five of the yelling kids from 5 years ago, now as big or bigger than me were performing a show around the garbage bin, this time yelling in some sort of vernacular slang. They stayed her enough to watch me wrestling with the wet mat to put it in the bin. A woman moved her SUV next to the bin, when i was finishing. Market started to go up immediately. 8:57 Threw all my clothings i wrestle the mat with in the washer. I bought this real cheap laundry detergent when i've been at WinCo. Was curious what was made of. Benzenesulfonic acid? I hope i don't have to rinse twice.

9:44 Nu sunt sigur, dar cred cam văzut, de la ceva distanță, pe ploaie, un tip ca el acum două zile.

8:45 Fiecare cu moțiunea lui! Important e să mai treacă o săptămână, până va pica și moțiunea PSD. Lasciate...

10:29 1985

September 27

Feelings of missing time... (You'll see when you rich 61). I skipped one day, kept writing on 26 without realizing it was 27 and  now it's 28. Moving the stuff here.

2:16 It all started a few years ago when i was curious about something. I wrote a blog post about US budget, not knowing at the time that it will become one of my major objects of study, for Romanian budget that is. But i just saw in the news something that caught my attention for the first time, though it happens every year. The issue of the debt ceiling.


Let me introduce you first to the concept of annual budget. Every year US President is required by law to submit to Congress a budget for federal spending, based or maybe not on federal income (Spending cannot be greater than income, right?). Then Congress details it on numerous commissions and approves the budget and the budget becomes law after being signed again by the President.
From the smaller graph in upper left above one must also realize the difference between contributions to federal budget made by individuals vs contributions made by corporations. First question of course is why spending (outlays) does not equal income (revenue). The difference is called deficit and it represents the sum that government must borrow every year by "increasing the debt ceiling" and for more clarity it is done towards the end of the year because by then the amount becomes more obvious because budget has two parts, Mandatory spending, which are known at the beginning of the year (fixed) and Discretionary spending (variable) which are not (though there are forecasts), and i think i answered my question i had in mind: If everything, income, spending, is "designed" at the beginning of the year and it is voted and signed into law by the President at the beginning of the year, then why every year by this time they realize they don't have the money they voted for?? Cause the part of deficit for Mandatory Spending is known at the beginning of the year and the rest can be forecast more or less precise, i believe by this time there should be adjustments only and less drama (talking about government shutdown etc.).
4:03 I found a better fix for dog poos. I pour borax on them (and then somebody removes them i think to make room for new fresh ones). I went to pick garbage from lawn and plug some holes (building was surrounded by smoke) and pour borax on poos and a number of Japanese women, dressed either as islanders (Japan is made of islands also) or Latinas. As soon as i finished they left in the same time.

8:00 As soon as weather got colder, Robinho_od upstairs is doing loads of laundry a day and pumps the vapor in the basement with the clogged pipe and because it is cold now, water condensates on other side of the floor striped of insulation (has fallen) and the upper part of the floor made of fiberboard facing inside is bulging, with one to two inches in places around the couch and desk.

8:26 Alles klar, herr kommissar? Aprobați mai repede miniștrii lui Cîțu și lăsați-i să-și vadă de treabă până la sfârșitul anului bugetului, ca ei să ne dea PNRR-ul, cândva, pentru ceva proiecte cu borne. Am găsit PNRR-ul, tot ce e concret sunt cei 434 de km the autostradă până în 2026 (când nu se va mai găsi nici măcar vreo amintire din monștrii lui Cîțu), și 500 MW solar și eoliene. 12,7 km de metrou, la 30-50 milioane de euro/km, de 2-3 ori mai mult decât un km de autostradă, din ce am văzut până acum, un km de autostradă în România costă 20 milioane euro (bineînțeles, cel mai scump din lume, în Bulgaria (aceeași UE, același MCV, aceleași vize) au făcut cu 2-3 milioane, dar prin ei înșiși), cu 29 miliarde s-ar putea construi 1450 km autostradă, care de departe este prioritatea cea mai mare. 300 km cale ferată modernizată? Cu 300 milioane de euro (0.3 miliarde) s-ar putea reabilita (recompacta) complet sistemul de căi ferate din România de 10 mii km.

9:36 I took the cardboard cover from the back of the fridge so many times on and off and wiped it from dust with a wet microfiber rag until i damaged it and bought online a new one. However, it is aftermarket, only half thick and has some sort warning instructions printed with an ink that flies when the fan blows through the small holes. When i installed it i saw the compressor is not aligned with the fridge but it "stands out" so you have to bend the cardboard cover to make it fit. Can't take it off completely because of the ultrasound from the capillary tube next to the expansion valve, (hissing, ringing in the ears, the reason is made of cardboard is to absorb those). And i got in trouble again. All day i felt irritation in my eyes, throat, nauseated and sleepless (a new one). I tried with my finger in a corner and saw ink was coming off. I removed it and googled for the composition of ink. Now i remember the day when the mailwoman gave it to me personally, when she came around with her vintage van, at least one week ahead of scheduled delivery time. Got it. Ink is for writing. Ninja humour that is (forgot to say, many times i found pens on the ground next to smoking holes)

Walmart. I bought it from Walmart. It came one week earlier.

11:59 Poc Poru, sau altă fațetă a PNRR?

September 26

12:17 Mă demit dar rămân cu tine...
Și totuși, Legea Bugetului pe 2021 a distribuit sumele pe ministerele actuale... (Atenție, pe site-ul Camerei Deputaților, Legea Bugetului încă apare sub formă de proiect, care a fost aprobat). Dar aceste mărunțișuri, ca bugetul de 326 miliarde lei (ultimul rând din pagină, de Stat, căci mai este ce al Asigurărilor Sociale, alte bugete și bugețele, cu un total peste 400 miliarde) nu intră în calculele politico-mediatice.

4:21 Got back home from WinCo, same old story, in the back the two Japanese trained kids screamin, playing and hitting a ball real heard, while Angela's trying to sleep. Now, hitting the cable box. As for what happened at WinCo, i made some audio recordings.

Got this real cheap 10 bucks meter with 10 cents strips at Walmart. Now i got the chance to do these experiments. Fast for hours, until my blood sugar goes close to 200. Then eat something, only one thing and see how much is going up. (Eating cucumbers get your blood sugar down by at least 50). Try different foods. When i left i had 325 for eating pease, though they are shown very low calories (it seems when i type they intensify beating in the box). But it was the only thing i had left in the fridge. Now the funny part of the day. Go to auction sites and see what cars have come up in the last 24.

11:21 Don't know what kinda smoke was here all day by i'm kinda wasted. However, i cleared a bit, read the news, oh boy. Taliban takes a revenge on Figaros. Boris turned the faucet on gasoline so they have something real to talk about. In Romania, the robbery of government towards Romanians continues.

Presimt că, la fel ca în cazul bugetului, PNRR se va duce 37% pe aripile vântului climatic iar restul pe apa sâmbetei. Iar românii stau liniștiți fiindcă știu că cineva acolo sus în Senat sau uneori jos în stradă protestează tot timpul pentru ei.

September 25

12:-04 My blood sugar is slowly going down. The reason rate is so low when you stop eating carbs or even when you fast is because all the connective tissues in your body, which sum to several pounds, made of collagen, are loaded with sugar. It takes some time, weeks, or maybe months of no-carb diet to get rid of that sugar because connective tissues do not have lots of blood vessels going through, which would make them mechanically week.

I think i figured the cause for diabetes. Bad bacteria and/or mold in your gut. In my case, from the dog poo left to smell around building.

Dog intestinal bacteria is different from ours because they naturally eat very few carbs. If you are contaminated with it and eat carbs, those carbs turn to toxins and the emergency reaction of your body, which may become permanent if situation is permanent, is to pull immediately all sugar from intestine and store it somewhere. In the liver, eliminate through kidneys and if those two paths are overwhelmed, it stays in your blood stream and from there passes into the connective tissues.

Lowering of metabolism due to inflammation caused by pollution with dust makes things worse. The reason that bacteria is toxic for carbs eating animals may be the symbiosis between that bacteria and dogs, the benefit for dogs being they infect their prey with their droppings, make them sick and easier to hunt. This whole scenario is hard to beat unaided by modern science because it's evolutionary and science for some reason seem to be stuck in second gear, for decades if not centuries making and/or selling a myriad of sophisticated, expensive and unnecessary types of medicines.

The reason is the world is being run by thieves and religious nuts. I think neither of these categories are able to push for progress.

12:59 This guy looks like...

1:35 I went outside to eliminate any doubt, there is no smoke outside, there is light upstairs, the man, the robot's companion is smoking. Most likely not cigarettes.

7:08 I took Angela to work. Today, at 7. She works tomorrow too (Sunday). When i got back there was here in the alley a white pickup with Texas LPN "KZB" with a very loud speaker. Took my blood sugar. After 24 hours of no carbs, from 310 yesterday morning, 200 now.

7:25 Went and picked all the garbage from the mulch. Anything that may contain traces on food on top of the redwood mulch loaded with antibacterial tannin (it gives it  the color red) creates strains of mold that travel inside and make everything stink, especially after doing laundry ad midnight at apt 4 and drying with leaking pipes in the basement, with condensation and wetting and bulging of the floor in my living.

La al cîtulea congres, 4.874 delegați, 2 candidați, din care unul etern și unul curent pe ducă. I-au adus cu autobuzele?

8:00 Lost in translation? După decenii de libertate, media din România încă impune un fel de izolare prin traducerea greșită a știrilor internaționale. China de fapt a declarat ilegale tranzacțiile cu monede cripto  (bineînțeles, pe teritoriul ei).

Monedele cripto sunt de fapt niște softuri create de niște programatori anonimi, care nu au în spate rezerve valutare sau garanții ale vreunui guvern sau nimic altceva. Numeroși "finanțiști cu nume grele" de-a lungul timpului au criticat bitcoin și au avertizat că pot fi niște scheme piramidale (gen Caritas, FNI). Alaltăieri am postat un grafic asemănător, îngânare și aici?

8:24 Ingannare. Munți de gunoaie? Everești?

Deja vu. În graficul din dreapta iar se vede cum COVID-ul a făcut dinți. Și falcă.

8:33 Cassie awoken.

8:39 Giant Moon on the run. "Gotta go do some shopping!". (Ingannare or coincidence. They were playing this song on the radio when i took Angela to work).

There's got to be some carbs in the food i ate (sugar free meatloaf, egg, pickled cucumber, a bit of sugar free yogurt cause my blood sugar went 275 after i ate). Though i'm crashed but that is for not breathing right because of congested nose because of the mold. Not breathing right the whole night could lower metabolism as well?

9:13 Sincer, nu mă surprindea nici invers. Nimic nu mă mai surprinde prea des. Dar lui Cîțu îi trebuia un balon de oxigen ca să mai plutească până la sfârșitul anului și al bugetului și al lui Johannesburg.2:49 I ate one waffle with almond butter and went to sleep, sletp 2 hours and when i woke up i was 295. Went for a 3 miles walk and now i have 265. Never been that bad. I didn't take a reading in a long time and basically i was not dieting, drinking and exposed to dog droppings and dust, lately, a lot. BTW, on the last half mile of my walk i've been metsubushed by two gigantic excavators that move two gigantic  gravel mounts across 7/11. Nyunganarae? Ninja humour? Because of sharp invizible silica dust, now i got pains all over and craving a drink like a crazy.

3:04 Balon de oxigen, gură de aer.

3:07 Intrați în legalitate, plătind retroactiv alocațiile de când a intrat legea în vigoare, spuneți ce s-a făcut cu 16.5 miliarde prevăzute pentru alocații anul acesta, anul trecut, veniți cu o dare de seamă la fiecare minister. Dacă un polițist dă o amendă pe stradă, șoferul trebuie să meargă la ghișeu să plătească (sau mă rog, online). Dacă nu, intră la pușcărie. Dacă un președinte semnează un decret, e opțional?

Sau mai bine declarați-vă identitatea și plecați acasă.

4:08 Went to pick Angela. Fine invisible gravel dust from that construction site flies all the way here. As soon as i passed 7/11 i saw a fire engine in the distance, with flashing lights so i moved on the right lane, next to sidewalk where they were this group of sexy women wearing shorts. Then on  the radio they played I want to ride my bi-cycle. Then somehow i got behind a school bus that was out of any school bus routes, on a Saturday and a truck saying Clean Fleet driven by a Japanese. After so long, same day every day, i figured it can only AI assisted traffic. Similarly on my way back. In the complex a guy on a bicycle was turning his head all the time to make sure he was just ahead of me, all the way to here. Truck started to smell like coolant again though i don't see any visible leak. This is not a state, not a city, i live like the guy in the Truman show, on a setting. Thi
4:30 Some of the dust got on my vocal chords, my voice hoarsened.

11:36 No matter how much i write here, the guy upstairs seems to ignore it. At 11:36 he is thundering with the drier, though the drier pipe is clogged with condensation in the basement. He attempted several times to dry a load of laundry he did earlier today without realizing the thing is not working. I also emailed the management a couple of times about this issue and others.

11:40 Nu se înroșește, Germania e de toate culorile, ca papagalii hrăniți de Angela Merkel. Ca și în cazul României, ca și în toate țările, toți politicienii sunt niște papagali de multe culori.

11:49 It's time to bring this ship into the shore...

12:12 Smoke alert outside as i grabbed the guitar to practice a few intervals. Went and replugged one of the yesterday holes, but when i went for the next one, an SUV came promptly and they seem to never end getting out of it.  OK i got too more. Smaller, harder to find, less smoke then yesterday.

September 24

6:45 I took Angela at work. When i left here i saw in the parking lot a guy loading a sleeping kid about 10 years old into a truck (deja vu). On my way back, at that school a huge truck loaded with gravel or soil or something got in front of me while on  the radio they were playing Billy Idol More More More. Now i feel like i've been again exposed to very sharp invisible dust cause it hurts everywhere.

7:17 I wanted to go back to sleep and now he started the TV upstairs and i think he is smoking too.

7:43 Există lege, există bani, (16.5 miliarde lei, sub capitol 06 din Bugetul Ministerului Muncii), alocațiile nu s-au dublat.

8:40 This morning i started to get readings on my blood sugar again and it was scary, 310 on fasting.

Well, since 2 AM. I ate like crazy yesterday, because of the dust that irritated my stomach while metabolism went down because of inflammation. So i decided to go for a walk. When i was ready, i opened the door (a bit) and went back to check the stove, etc.. and one guy already passed the door (a teenager, ex-kid from the building, looking Japanese. But when i looked on the other side, there was a bottle on a rung of the stairs and a huge kid, probably bigger than me, probably brought especially from Australia, next to the older known ones, all "getting ready to go to school", but waiting for me? to get out? so they can claim something? I took the other alley however before street they switched alleys so i just turned around. Right at the corner next to the other mailboxes there was this older guy in camouflage pants, tall, thin, looking angry, trotting around his car. So i got back at the building, took the other alley, meet with more people, all looking angry, all getting in the way. I went at the street, turned around when i saw the excavator in action across 7/11. When i got here, i saw a half empty beer can on the mulch, i went to grab it but when i try to go to the garbage bin, there was this small new car, parked next to it and a mother with a girl got in the car, slowly, so i just turned around, looking and picked more stuff, until they left.

9:20 CDC says what now? and the walking robot upstairs started to squeak nervously. Wanna get a feel? limping a bit? (what happens if it falls).

9:31 Yeah he left so the robot goes now to recharge. And i'll try to sleep.

12:03 ingannare.

12:08 Mai multă ingannare.

1:30 O modelă sau o jucătoare de tenis anonimă dintr-un pictorial. Pare familiară.

6:01 Went to Copart in Woodburn. I had (still have) high hopes related to a 2015 Hyundai Elantra that seemed damaged at the right door only. (Now that i looked at many other cars i like the looks of Elantras).

However, there was damage at the bumper, one headlight from a previous fender bender, front wheels where scuffed really bad, but beyond anything it was a GDI. I dread GDIs because there is no injector in the intake to clean the valves, and tons of oil from PCV and dust gather by the valves. Could be fixed with some cleaner and than vacuuming the intake and then again installing a catch can.

It seemed the owner never took off the engine cover, the gauge was hard to pull (not checking or changing oil very often), and when i did what did i saw. Pieces of foam broken from the sound insulation under the cover (GDIs are a bit like diesel, more noisy) gathered around a spark plug. There was a fistsize hole in the foam corresponding to the fuel pump line.The car is identical in many ways to our old Elantra, there is even the same type of (unnecessary) "window" in the grill, to let you pour brake fluid, an almost sure place for gases to leak from engine compartment in the cabin. Not very clear in this picture, there is a bit of oil (from PCV) leak by the intake.

Car won't start so i went back at  the office and they gave me a jump starter. (Why didn't i took mine which was in the truck, i don't know). Battery was dead also because the negative connector was completely loose, and/or battery was beyond its life time (i think the accident happened around the time the car was five years old, exactly like for the other Hyundai we had, when probably the car lost the EPS (Electric Power Steering).).

But the jump starter won't help. Then a guy who was driving @ one of those forklifts (making tons of dust also) came and asked if we needed  help. He kept trying different other points of the chassi for a negative (battery negative connector was loose BTW) and then he went inside and started the car. The car started immediately to tick, but when i pressed  the gas pedal, the tick disappeared. It was sounding a bit like a diesel. I ran the engine for more than 10 minutes, battery won't charge whatsoever (even after i tightened the negative connector by rotating it).

Then i had this bad idea and blew those pieces of foam and some of them fell onto the hot exhaust and the whole place started to stink badly. Now i'm thinking. Those could have been falling for a long time onto the exhaust and affecting the driver (polyurethane foam).

There was a similar pile but this time of tiny but very hard nut shells (could had been an animal that nested there since this car has been in that lot) on top of an engine mount next to the serpentine belt and i think those were falling onto the belt and inside the pulleys making the tick.

Car might be leaking oil by the fuel pump (which is mechanical, fed by the engine, like the old distributors, where there is an o ring). That oil obviously ends on the exhaust again generating gases under the hood that surely will leak in the cabin by that window in the grill.

Other than that. At 68k, brakes are completely gone, also tires. So what do i get so far. Door panel, bumper, brakes, tires, a headlight.

10:18 I ate only meatloaf and cucumbers all day and my blood sugar went down to 250. That's it. No more bread. No more alcohol. Only cucumbers and protein and fiber. Had some sleep in the evening. Searching for cars, all of a sudden the place filled with smoke. Went outside and tried to find holes and stuff and this guy with his white dog was running around the building, completely ignoring the smoke.

There was this older abandoned hole right in the middle of the green area in front of my car, haven't had problems with it, however tonight someone stuck some burning stuff in there, could have been with kratom + marijuana or something else. Went in the car to search for a 3/8 extension i use as stick to push soil from sides to cover that hole and with potting soil i had in a bag, two people decided to pass by, right next to that hole, probably to claim they have some in their blood, after. Another one next to the gutter at the corner of the garages. Got a headache from that smoke.

10:53 They did it one more time. Same hole where i just pushed some potting soil, now soil was softened, another one by the bedroom window. With three buzzers under ground there are no more moles. The guy with the white dog now smokes in the balcony. Cigarettes. 

Da, știu, ungurii și japonezii de pe aici mimează în seara asta tupeul infinit, pe care oricum îl aveau, ca să îngâne. Ca să nu pot spune despre:

11:05  Partide, politicieni, parlament, congrese, competiții, iluzii și tragere de timp. Miza e zecile de miliarde de euro strânse din TVA și taxele pe venit și profit care pleacă din România chiar de la buget în fiecare an. Credeți că merită, câteva sute sau mii de actori la produs în România pentru câteva zeci de miliarde de euro pe an? Cine conduce de fapt România? Ninja și dominicanii.

Vroiam să întreb. Bine, dacă ei conduc lumea, de ce nu-și fac pur și simplu bani și să ne lase în pace? România trebuie golită.

11:31 Reading news. Cassie upstairs started walking. TV is thundering. Ingannare. Sometimes like right now i believe these buildings officially with many empty floors are actually uninhabited and made only for the skyline. Also because of the super rich of this world are actually actors, they don't have any properties and especially they don't act like. The little scandals and few pictures in the media also fake are nothing like the tumultuous high life should be in the circles above us.

11:56 Now, besides thundering TV, probably the guy with the white dog in apartment 4 started a load of laundry.

Parallel Evolution

I don't know if they have a theory like this, should belong to history, anthropology but to me today it seems obvious, the bigger and hospitable a territory, the faster the human evolution.

If i google on terms Agricultural Revolution i first get the British Agricultural Revolution which is known to us all. But on second result there is what i'm looking for. The time when history records the neolithic Agricultural Revolution or the time when humans went from hunters-gatherers to farmers.

It started in the Fertile Crescent, or the land known to us as Mesopotamia. Land between two rivers.

History neglects to say this didn't happen simultaneously on all continents, and on some like Australia, it didn't happened until recent Western Colonization which meant the end of that civilization. (I call it civilization meeting self, like a boomerang). 10,000 + years difference in evolution and 50-70 thousand years of genetic isolation created on this planet, on this continent a different human race.

If i believed in DNA theory i would advise some research to see how far they have mutated from the "mainstream" on Eurasia.

But things are much more complicated than this. It is my belief that they were several "infusions" of this hot blooded, hot headed population into Eurasia, and that might coincide, at first with creation of Sumer, Egypt, by enslaving "peaceful" locals, with their offspring, China, Greece and Rome, but it didn't stop there.

Name of their leaders, Attila, similar to the Mt.Attila in Central Australia, other names like Noongars, suggests this may have happened again, bringing the Roman Empire to an end beginning with sparing Rome and hidden (due to lack of numbers) infiltration and occupation of the world by this cunning race.

Though not a different species, culturally, they are so different then the rest of us we may not be able to fully understand them. Which means obviously they live among us, with a base in today's Hungary, with intentions and goals that we are missing.

September 23

12:35 I went earlier to pick the garbage left by the 2 screaming kids of the evening. If i don't, they start a terrible mold smell... inside. An old ninja trick i guess.

This morning they came to fix the concrete stairs at two apartments. Breaking and pouring concrete all day. However i slept through most of it.

Working here at night has its reasons. One of it is the silence. But when i went to pick the garbage from the grass i saw the balcony of the building where one of the kids used to live is cracked and misaligned, worse than mine. I said to myself. What if they come tomorrow and start breaking and pouring concrete at my balcony or at the other one?

12:51 Nevermind. Since i started working at a blog post, he started the TV real loud upstairs.

3:00 "What's wrong?" Said Angela when she saw me in the parking lot at Eaton to pick her. "Everything, except the market" i said.

May the market prevail. After everybody put their retirement money, with confidence, in the market, the market remains number one priority. Forget the truth, forget the law. Here come the patriot freemasons to fix things up by breaking concrete.

After what i posted Sunday, the market went down on Monday. I didn't realize that until closure time. It would have gone even lower if not for me cooking that meatloaf while they were delivering in the building. However, it proves that i had no intention and no control whatsoever. That SOB who calls himself Klaus Iohannis was allowed to talk nothing at the UN. So he can recover the free fall position in the Romania before whatever. Congress of his party. After he named 8 prime ministers during his 7 years reign, with the last one shaking badly. That was the reason that prompted me to search for Guterres. (Because of Carol II who at some time flirted with the right extreme, he abdicated in favor of a dictator etc..) exile in Portugal, where he died, some Romanians, especially the supposed extreme right ones, probably some political ghosts who secretly support the "German" Iohannis, fantasize about having some sort of secret ties to Portugal, from where they bought a squadron of third hand F16s, probably thinking the Portuguese have removed whatever traps and bugs instead of buying new ones from US. That was the reason the market fell Monday, the match for Guterres, who is, like all others, an actor (opera singer), almost unknown in Hungary, with one picture forgotten on a site. But that was enough.
And then all hell broke loose. Tuesday he two kids from Japan who specialize in screaming and other artistry, who screamed for hours while i kept drinking. Wednesday they came with a plan (could have started Tuesday and haven't seen). They came to break and pour concrete at some entrances. Don't know if it was necessary, never really looked at those before, they broke several cubic feet of concrete per entrance from the direction of the wind. Or that was just the cover and they released much more from much closer. Though i was aware of the dangers of fine concrete dust (mainly sharp fine silica or glass which besides some trouble breathing, in small amounts may create pain all over body), i had so many things on my mind it took me again by surprise.  Wednesday evening the two kids from Japan again screaming for hours while i drank my minds out without realising it was the pain i was drinking for and which kept me sober no matter how much i drank. In the mornings, dog poo. In other words, in the last three days they threw at me everything they had. And since all that was not enough, last night the guy upstairs came. But at least it ended the rumor i might have made him disappear. However how many minds this rumor changed?

This morning after i went to take Angela at work, when i came back i forgot the keys in the door. I cannot explain it, it didn't happen in a long time, i had nothing in my hands, what could have done it, a noise in a critical moment on the background of pain and drinking and being absent minded (something similar happened in the moment of the accident, i've been exposed to dust in the days before and did not realise i was surrounded by cars at a time they were very few on the freeways). Or somebody maybe extracted the key with a tool like a fishing pole from under the couch where i found the wallet, which is like 10 ft in straight line away from door which has a rubber seal on top of the sill.

Yesterday after the blowers came, i went and swept the stairs, hosed everything else. But i forgot to hose the tuck and by driving it now i'm in pain again.

When i got back they pushed some more, there was zipfly thing around he handle of my door only, though i have zipfly. When i went for the walk, today, again meeting with this construction guy in the NE corner of hospital's parking lot (deja vu) who was this time dressing though he was fully dressed, putting more clothes on top of winter clothes he had on, and a neon vest on top, while behind him, the portable toilet forgotten by the city and a sexy woman in shorts walking in a hurry with the se_quoia trees in the background. Those trees have been planted, obviously aroud the time Oregon became a state 5:05 I hosed everything. When i hosed the screen at the balcony something like white milk came out of it. Concrete dust. Also when i rinsed in the sink the towel i keep on ft above the filter.
5:15 At dangerous levels concrete dust particles are invisible. Concrete dust can irritate skin. In other words, i've been metsubushed. Again.

10:25 Am terminat de scris scriptul pentru numărătoarea banilor care se scurg pe apa sâmbetei la Ministerul Transporturilor, începând cu 1 ianuarie 2021. Era scris cam aiurea, omul l-a pus pe un forum să întrebe ceva, între timp am găsit alte versiuni, dar până la urmă în 24 de ore am învățat suficient Java ca să scriu un progrămel de la început la sfârșit, cam 10 linii de cod. LOL. Întotdeauna am spus, un limbaj nu e greu, deși până la urmă e cheia, acolo unde contează viziunea programatorului, ce e mai greu și mai plictisitor este deslușirea mediului de programare și folosirea bibliotecilor. Bineînțeles că banii la ministere nu curg așa lin, ci cu sughițuri, în tranșe mai mari sau mai mici, am vrut să dau o intuiție a fenomenului. Ce m-a motivat așa tare. Declarația post ministerială a lui Drulă, care în tupeul lui infinit spunea ieri că "nu trece nici o zi fără...".

Mă dor fața, ochii, pielea pe tot corpul de la diferite prafuri (beton, lemn roșu (sequoia)) care zboară pe aici.

Iată un site bun pentru a învăța HTML, Java, etc.. Clic pe Try it yourself, și apoi Run.

12:55 Asta și pentru că geamul la dormitor era deschis. Praf venea în continuare pe geam. Nu pot să cred că după atâtea ore încă zboară prin aer praful invizibil de beton. Deși am văzut mai devreme în parcarea de la drum o camionetă mai mare (industrială) plină cu bucăți de beton. Au muncit ceva oamenii. Îmi amintesc că ieri noapte am dormit 3 ore după care am dus-o pe Angela, am venit înapoi, am stat la calc 2 ore, până la 8 după care am încercat să dorm, moment în care tipul de sus a coborât la mașina de vreo două ori, a văzut cheia la mine în ușă după care m-a chinuit timp de o oră jumate, până când a plecat și am dormit încă vreo 2 ore. M-a trezit o furgonetă de spălat motoare, cu motorul de la aspirator care este mult mai mic decât motorul principal, dar nu prea are amortizor de zgomot, iar vibrațiile respective au făcut ca praful din aer să intre în apartament pe lângă ușă sau prin orice crăpătură pe la geamuri. A și sper să nu uit. Sunt două trasee până la serviciul lui Angela, unul prin spate, care e mai bun dimineața la 6 și unul pe strada principală care e mai bun la venire. Deși ăla pe strada principală are camere la fiecare intersecție (nu de semafor sau viteză, ci de supraveghere, de la oraș. Vin și se bagă cu tot felul de logo-uri și numere și tipuri de mașini sugestive, alese în funcție de temă de către AI pentru nebunii care se uită pe stream-ul video pus la dispoziție de primărie lumii ca să vadă). La venire am mers prin spate, am trecut pe lângă o școală, am stat mult în spatele autobuzelor școlare, la fel distribuite de AI care au o ușă în spate care se deschide dinafară, etc..

September 22

5:30 The two kids are back and screaming in the yard. Last night i gathered a bag full of debris they left in the yard. Minutes ago they came to scream and wrestle ft away from my balcony. I yelled at them and told them to leave. One of the just knocked at the door. I guess.

7:01 The kids have left about half hour ago, in their place came some choking smoke. I believe they are train to move and scream by ear prompter, following my brain waves. Can't do nothing any more.

10:13 În perioada de după 2000, după job-ul de la AVX în timp ce căutam un job am încercat să învăț limbajul C și chiar am făcut un program, un spectrum analyzer pentru muzică, din acela cu bare care se ridică, ce le au unele playere, hard și soft, destul de sofisticat, care însă nu folosea nici o bibliotecă C și din cauza asta era foarte mic (cel mai mic program posibil în Windows). L-am pus într-o bibliotecă de programe, nimeni nu a fost interesat. Ce nu știam eu pe atunci e că tipii care stăteau dedesubt (la Sussex), 3 băiețași, erau poate studenți, fumau ceva și dimineața când mă trezeam, Angela lucra tot așa, de la 6, eram în ceață. Mergeam așa prin oraș cu truck-ul, căutam un job, orice, am aplicat în sute de locuri, însă probabil miroseam și mă comportam ciudat.

Însă am învățat ceva C, dovada este că am putut să caut și să modific un script în Java, care este destul de asemănător cu C ce mi-a permis să afișez aproximativ suma cheltuită la Ministerul Transporturilor, de la începutul anului și până acum, care este într-o variantă (cu credite de angajament, cine le înțelege) de până la 32 miliarde lei. Anul având 31.14 miliarde de milisecunde, o secundă aproape coincide cu o mie de lei etc..

11:20 Mi-au căzut ochii pe o postare de-a mea în Edge (browserul de la Windows, practic). Litere care dansează în sus și în jos? Parcă am mai văzut ani în urmă dar am uitat. Probabil o mare parte din cei care se uită aici se uită cu Edge. Deci am schimbat caracterele la blog pe alt tip care se văd bine și în Edge. Pe faza asta a venit tipul de sus, după vreo două săptămâni lipsă, și a început să facă ce face mai bine, să izbească adică.

11:52 Ultima însemnare de azi, coasta de vest SUA, unul din ultimele fuse orare de pe planetă.

Președintele jucător e o frază care îmi amintește de Trianon. Motivul pentru care îl susține necondiționat pe ultimul său prim ministru este că au fost prea mulți, nu mai poate numi altul.

September 21

(Ziua) egală cu noaptea. Echinocțiu, aequinoctium, equinox. De azi înainte zilele încep să fie mai scurte și nopțile mai lungi de 12 ore.

8:00 Cu doar câteva poze de calitate slabă nu pot să fiu sigur dacă tipul ăsta e Nelu Tătaru, las la decizia dvs.. 12:30 Toky Tiny Apartments. 1:07 This guy looks familiar.

1:53 With three buzzers in place, there is a new mole mound right between two of them. I think they adapted. In the last months i had only two of them and moles were gone. This morning i've been very tired by the smokes that came from the ground and i inhaled in the last few days and slept a lot. While i was sleeping i heard a washer in the building. When i woke up there was mold from the wet floor (leaking drier's exhaust in the basement). I tried and open a window and the door but now the play in the distance a profound base that shakes the dust from the building.

5:18 Just came from Walmart, it smells like mold and dog poo a bit but at least not like worms from moles' larder. Every time i pull that phone from my pocket there is at least one setting changed. Files i thought i uploaded weren't there. Ok. Got it. 5:00 Truck would not start consistently last couple of times, though voltage at the plug in digital meter was 14.2 during trips. I went to Walmart to buy a super cheap battery, cause i don't think i will use it more than 4 years or as long a super cheap battery is supposed to last.

So i went to batteries' area, which is the furthest corner from entrance. A 5 minutes walk among shelves and ballerinas.

At the batteries. First there was this guy thrown face down to the ground, arranging something on a shelf. So i passed, went into the wine area to check if they had a brand i bought at Fred Meyer, which is in another corner of the store. There, a couple of old guys, he on an electric car, were counting beer cans which were just across the wines, kinda in my way. I kept checking that, they were still counting beer cans, for more than 10 minutes.

So i went back to the batteries in the other corner, the man was now kneeling, a customer was checking something on a terminal next to batteries, i grabbed one that looked like mine, above a label that said 54, i went to the checkstands, but when i scanned it it showed 88. It was a MAX, i was supposed to get a VALUE. So i went back to the batteries, across the store, zig zagging through the team of ballet dancers from Gwen Stefani's stage team, and this time i looked on the phone. Battery for S10 pickup at walmart, Ever Start cca 600 bla bla.

Seemed half inch bigger than mine which i had in the cart, but i knew there was some more room in the tray. So i payed 68, 12 was the core, returned mine, after i waited 10 minutes for the guy in front of me to finish buying a 2500 dollars cashier's check, the man had to call someone on the phone, the woman counted the money twice, etc.. I returned my old Exide for 12 bucks, went at the truck and tried to put the battery back (wanted to save the planet for a trip, so i pulled the old battery, went in the store, bought the new one, left the core and tried to install the new one all there). Slightly bigger, made if fit in the tray in the end. However. The connectors' screws wouldn't go in the terminals by hand. First one on the positive was easier to tight with my 8 mm socket, but the negative one, in a tight space, would not go in. So i thought i crossed the thread, pulled the battery out to look and guess what. It didn't have threads all around in the terminals. I could make it in the soft lead terminal on the positive, started one in the negative, but could not finish the hard to reach negative. Even if i did i'm sure it wouldn't have lasted. So i grabbed the battery and went back in the store. At the checkstand, when i told him, he said there's nothing wrong with it and he threw the battery on a side to look better. I told him that battery was not sealed, acid might leak acid on the counter, he wouldn't believe me. He said there was nothing wrong with the threads. However he accepted my return.
I went back in the batteries' corner and looked more carefully though i had not glasses. Took some pictures. I could only find only one battery that had good threads and went with it to the checkstand. My size, a 55 Amps one. 68 with 12 the core. But i didn't have the core no more and went to customer's service to figure things out etc. where there was a long line now. 15 minutes after, she said: "i don't care if i give you 12 bucks".

Kafka would have had an orgasm if he witnessed what happened to me today at Walmart, like any time. The good part. I made my miles through the store and in the parking lot because i slept all morning and didn't have a chance to go in the park.

6:02 Angela's sleeping, the screaming Japanese kids came in the back to scream. Exactly after 6 PM when they close the office so i can't call to complain. 6:49 I went to eat about half hour ago and they went kinda quiet. But now one of them rolled towards my balcony and stopped ft away while a helicopter few above.

7:01 They came right in front of the balcony, pulling grass, diggin holes. Somebody is smoking, cigarette smoke made it here.

8:16 Just figured why do Japanese ninja, covered in Japan as hikikomori come disguised as Mexicans to secretly invade western US. Lebensraum.

September 20

Re-enter The Dragnea, răul mai mic din politică românească, să umple vidul format între timp cu vechile obsesii. Totuși peisajul, limbajul, nu mai sunt aceleași de când el a plecat într-un concediu prin țara lui natală, Ungaria.



7:00 After i took Angela, when i came back there was heavy smoke around the apartment and one more mole network with mounds and open holes too close. I built another chaser out of a sollar one with two D batteries. That PCB had a tiny accumulator for working during night, i hooked two D size batteries in series (close to 3 volts) without removing the 1.5 V accumulator which blew after a few minutes in front of me, nothing really happened (also because it was inside an empty beer can where i assembled the whole thing). I was able to make it work after. No, i did not have to removed it from the PCB, it removed itself with terminals and circuits. All i had to do was empty the beer can with the pieces in the garbage. 11:00 I woke up after maybe a total of 7 hours of sleep and was dizzy from yet another type of smoke and went outside and covered a bunch of holes mostly up front that from a distance appeared to be made by squirrels, but they were too deep for that and. Not moles. 1:04 I had some meat in the fridge with the expiration date today so i had to cook it and while doing so a van (maybe delivery, maybe something else) backed up right on the other side of the wall where i was in the kitchen and they were unloading something and took to next entrance. What intrigues me is how the market goes up when i'm going out of site in the kitchen but i was too dizzy for the smoke to watch it until after.

There is no other door from this apartment to others. I am not going anywhere, nobody is coming here, nothing is being delivered here. So if they know what i'm doing, they can improvise something. Should i have waited to cook after market hours, market would have been 2.5% down.

4:36 He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind

7:04 Oare cifrele pandemiei sunt la fel de reale ca cele ale bugetului?

September 19

Last night i went to Spirit Mountain. Was so tired i slept one hour in the truck. Battery connectors where loose, i tightened them when i left. Finally figured the squeak at the left wheel when backing up from the spot here at the apartment. I think the same bolt from the control arm is loose again. When i came back with the heavy rain and cheap tires (by the brand Venezia) i had trouble keeping the truck on the road, in some areas had to slow at 35.

4:29 Nici o fraudă în plus față de cele obișnuite. Singura chestie e că se cheamă cițy și are 3 milioane de asigurați (chiar m-am mirat dintotdeauna de ce pe Câțu îl cheamă de fapt Cîțu). Ca să mai uitați de autostrăzi și buget. Am mai spus și repet. Ăștia, ca să vă fure banii și pe dvs. cu totul, mai întâi vă fură mințile, subliminal. Asta e răsplata pentru Tiranon și faptul că românii s-au băgat în Ungaria în 1944. (Simbolic, fiindcă sovieții au fost cu greul). Sârbii au luat-o pe cocoașă din același motiv, Iugoslavia nu mai este, Cehoslovacia nu mai este, etc. iar românii au fost forțați să plece din motive economice. (click cu roata mouse-ului ca să măriți imaginea).
5:25 Just went and cleaned some wet bread crumbles from the stairs upstairs, being afraid of mold. But i did it with a painting brush, that was still smelling like paint. Now i'm paranoid about what if they saw me (no doubt about it) and say i wanted to make the stairs slippery for whoever.

11:02 I was searching for someone key to the whole story and one of the last pieces of puzzle in Romania, thinking i beat the moles with two mole chasers, modified to use two batteries only when an exhaust started. The vibration, within minutes, filled the place with a weird smell, though i am surrounded by three filters. I went outside and found, among others, a full can of beer blue lite that was slightly cracked, a used green bag from bottle drop returns, like someone grabbed after counting from there, other debris, mold starters on the red mulch, a one inch deep hole next to alleys that i don't believe belongs to moles, where most likely someone from a passing car stuck burning material by a ninja burning recipe. I tried to cover the whole but someone was passing. That stuff will burn inside ground for hours.

12:06 Dragged Angela (Sunday morning, really hard to convince her, especially under influence of that smoke) in the park to escape the peak. One my way there, a Tualatin Valley fire SUV with flashing lights and siren made me pull over (ingannare). Did not clear completely my mind with that walk in the park. When we got back while driving i saw the hood of my truck was popped. Impossible to have driven it like that all the way to and from Spirit Mountain last night or even this morning without seeing. That distraction alone together with the smoke (that was different now) was enough to make me forget check the sign at the door. Now Angela is trying to kill the aphids on the plant spraying cold water from the fridge. A kid is screaming in the backyard and alley. When i backed up from the spot and veered i heard the squeak again on the right side. Got to get under truck to torque that bolt. Got to find the torque spec for the battery connectors that keep getting loose. But now my biggest priority is to find that guy. And i think i found him but don't have good pictures. But i think i just might have found by chance somebody else (to check later). But i'm absent minded, thinking at one million other things while browsing faces.

1:34 I figured where the smoke was coming lately. The holes that i dug myself for the solar buzzers, which they removed. I was reluctant to cover those after i installed the new completely buried versions, since they were so hard to dig. I noticed the one they left, at the bedroom window, was very loose in its initially very tight hole.

Also. Went under the truck and was lucky to have a 21 mm socket which i used with three extenders to torque the bolt for the left control arm (bolt is easier to reach than nut). Specs seem to be in the 80s ft lbs, i put my short torque wrench to max which is 80, the extensions themselves gave up one quart of a turn, i think i did torque some but the wrench didn't click. I was also impaired by the smoke and embarrassed by that kid who was staring at me while small jets were flying very low above.

They played the same old trick like they do in this situation. They brought a small green pickup with the bed in the door of the first garage, with the cabin close to my truck, having a kid on the passenger side. Decided earlier to leave because of smoke which may be subsiding later today, but still got to figure the size of a socket for the nut for the other bolt, could be 19 or 17, so i try to torque that one too.

2:33 Smoke have subsided but we're about to leave. Just remembered something. Last night at the Liquor Store at the Market something in Grande Ronde the guy tapped my card 3-4 times and inserted it a couple more. The sell kratom there. At the counter, talking for minutes, a drunk guy with a mask who asked all kinda stuff and kept there like 10 minutes while in store entered a woman with two kids all weirdly dressed. The drunk's guy voice seem Tom Cruise's.

September 18

12:35 I can't believe it rained briefly and then a hole grew in the storm right above Portland and it stopped. Yeah i remember now. It's the city effect on the storm. The city and suburbs is warmer and creates a bit of a higher pressure (its own weather system as pompous patronizing meteorologists would say) and water won't condensate. That until it rains for a few hours and it cools down (a bit of a recurrence here, sorry).

I don't know, according to the animated radar map it should now. I look through the window and it doesn't.

12:52 Ingannare, tocmai am spus că refacerea la standarde europene a unui km de cale ferată costă 30 de mii de euro și în total ar costa 300 de milioane pentru toată țara, ceea ce este 5% din bugetul Ministerului Transporturilor pe anul acesta (nu că ar avea treabă cu CFR SA, dar este un obiectiv strategic și ar putea îndrăzni, deși nu este prins în buget, deci nu ar fi cale legală decât dacă ar da guvernul o Ordonanță fiindcă este o chestie urgentă).

9:46 Ingannare. Steppenwolf.

9:48 Câți bani dă Cîțu? Cîțu stă pe un buget de peste 375.000.000.000 lei. Ăștia sunt bani?

4:09 My phone got completely crazy, can't use it anymore, have to reset it. Tried to send a text with Angela's phone to share a site with someone, while the language was set to first, arabic.

5:00 Some guys at the one level apartment shot in the trees a couple of times with a BB gun.

5:59 I tried and called Boost mobile to see if they can unlock my phone so i can switch to a cheaper service (Consumer Cellular). They (she, and Asian woman, always the same voice there and in many other places) said that the phone is eligible and gave me a case number and said the process will take up to 72 hours. About 1/3 of the words she was saying were distorted and had to guess what she was saying. Then i asked for the code and she said she cannot give more than one code per call though she didn't give me any, she she had to call me back, but i should not hang up. She called me back several times, i heard my voice mail coming on but had no option to answer. Am i stupid or what? Why in this digital area any time i call Boost even the automated system is breaking up, but that is proper English, but when you get to talk to foreign people which to me seem almost the same voices it's almost impossible to understand what they're saying?

Just talked to another guy and his patronizing accent was driving me crazy. Have to tell them my phone number after the automated system identifies it. I didn't memorize the phone number.

Last of the Hyundai

April 2018. We bid on a car at Copart. Like IAA, it's a place where insurance companies sell the totaled cars after they pay their customers the market value. They usually specify the areas where the car was damaged. This one has been listed as  "minor scratches and damages". We saw the car prior at the auction lot, together with one hundred others. Did not realize the car was actually in an accident, partially fixed and put back in auction and sold again at a higher price. I paid a total of 45 hundred dollars, including Copart fees.

When i went and picked it at the auction site, the car was driveable, but was making a weird noise at the engine. The mud cover on the right front was damaged, the fender was not holding in place, battery was almost dead and 5 years old. Serpentine belt was bent by a foreign object that gut between belt and pulleys at the time of the accident. When i got home i found in the trunk the broken windshield washer reservoir and the right headlight. Car was painted on the right side, with the right door and fender damaged. It was unclear if the right door airbag was still functional, though no dashboard light was on.

They were some sort of crystals on the windshield and hood, maybe from car being driven behind a de-icer that did not go away after a year or something, impairing visibility. Nr.1 and 2 cylinders had spark plug loose (0 torque) and there was oil in the cylinders and on the threads and inside the spark plug wheels. The shoulder at the bottom of the spark plug wheels  where the washers of the spark plugs seal sit was damaged and it was impossible to seal the spark plug when torquing it. Exhaust was leaking by the spark plugs in the engine compartment. Hood was bent (never fixed) and was not touching the seal with exhaust coming through the air intake grill in the cabin. There was oil in the the cylinders and on the spark plug threads.

3 years of struggle followed, with me working at the cars for hours, several days a week.

First went to Beaverton Hyundai and bought a battery and had it installed. Bought there a serpentine belt and installed it. Bought on Amazon a 6 mm diameter camera (about 20 bucks) to look inside the cylinders where i did not see piston slap damage but oil.

I tried to wipe the spark plug threads with balls of cotton soaked in alcohol, but they were not holding.
 
Designed and build in a machine shop a tool to resurface the shoulders of the spark plug holes. Finally torqued the spark plugs. Ordered a mud cover for right front on ebay and installed it. Ordered a windshield washer reservoir and installed it. Straightened the hood by stepping on it while hood semi-open, several times over the years. Did not realize the plastic grill was still leaking in several places by design, until about a week before the accident. Over 3 years i drove the car from 35 k to almost 100, while breathing exhaust inside the cabin, though less and less.

Did not realize the battery connectors could not be tightened enough, and were constantly getting loose, again by design, with battery never fully charging, until i bought a plug in USB charger with a digital voltmeter and because of needing jump starts several times after exhausting the battery with radio and fan in parking lots i also bought a 40 dollars 10000 mah li-ion smart jump starter on Amazon.

There was foam in the oil indicating sticky valves and squishy lifters. Tried to use some valve cleaner for the noise and injector cleaner additive inside the tank. As that wasn't working, i tried to clean the throttle body when i saw the inside of the composite intake manifold, which was installed in front of the compartment, or the left side of the engine, which was oily.

I tried and used a 3/8 piece of vinyl tube connected to a vacuum cleaner and pulled from the intake ounces of oil. It was  then when i realized that oil from the PCV was condensing inside the cold manifold that was installed in front of the engine compartment and pooling at the bottom of the intake which was installed upside down, by design, with the bottom bellow the runners, unlike any car i seen before. From there, oil was trickling up the runners, burning on valves and making them sticky, especially at number one cylinder. More oil was getting inside the cylinder, lubricating the piston rings unevenly, contaminating spark plugs, etc..

I pulled the injectors and tried to clean them applying voltage and some solvent from a spray can. Can had twice the pressure of the fuel and blew the injectors microfilters. I had to buy new injectors from dealer, for 400 bucks.

Over the years, i designed and installed several versions of catch cans on the PCV circuit, trying to minimize the amount of oil that gets in the intake which i was vacuuming "regularly" with a device i designed myself, made of a piece of tubing and a mat pump. With the last version of the catch can i could not vacuum oil from the intake anymore, there was none left.

A few months ago i bought an Exide battery and installed it and the noise was gone for a few hours. That was until the nuts at the connectors got loose again. Weeks before the accident i degreased the connectors together with the 8 bolts and nuts that were around the battery connectors and sealed the nuts on top with some adhesive. The voltage on the plug in charger with digital voltmeter was finally showing 14.3 volts while driving, 14.1 while idling. In the day of the accident, the noise was almost gone.

The noise was coming from the nr.1 cylinder or the furthest on the fuel rail, where fuel had not enough pressure because of low voltage at the fuel pump and injector was dripping,  causing uneven washing of the cylinder, with probably some slap while the engine cold, and not enough fuel washing the oil condensed on runner and trickling on valve, which was not getting washed enough because of low voltage at the fuel pump, making the valve stick and the lifer squish oil which was foamy. One cylinder working less than others meant vibration at the engine which meant poor driveability at high speed.

When i did rear brakes, a couple of years ago, i saw the indicators for pad wearing were bent and acting like springs, pushing the pads on the rotor, diminishing mileage.

Over the years, the car was doing an average of 35 mpg on the freeway and @20 in stop and go traffic. The car was quite comfortable to drive, due to soft suspension and many options, including working AC, bluetooth and satellite radio (which we did not subscribe for). In the days prior to the accident it was in its best shape ever, with smooth running engine, good driveability and almost no noise.

On August 19 Angela told me on the phone she had a flat. On the same tire there was another, several months ago when i got it fixed at Les Schwab in Lake Oswego. When she got home, i found low pressure in right rear, enough to trigger the sensor, put the tire in the tub full of water and didn't see any bubbles. I took the tire, for precaution, at the same Les Schwab shop in Lake Oswego.

There i spoke to a guy who resembled the current Finance Minister of Romania. Of course i didn't realize right away. Inside there was this Hungarian opera singer who acted like Phil Wick, Les Schwab's CEO after the death of Les Schwab.

The Romanian guy called me inside the shop which didn't happen in a long time, i went reluctantly after he called me a couple of times and showed me a tire similar to mine that had a damaged rim for about 1/6 length of the whole rim. He told me if it was from a previous installation which was in the same shop and asked me if wanted a new tire, i asked him if he had Michelin, the brand that was originally on car when i got it, he said no, if he can get it by tomorrow, he said we should talk in the morning, he had the number on my record, he then put the tire back on the wheel, inflated it and the wheel in the trunk. He insisted to put it there himself. This car doesn't come with a spare, though it has the space for it in the trunk. I found one at the junkyard, from a Ford that fitted. Though spare was new, the car was not driving the same as with the original wheel, especially at high speeds on the freeway. In the same evening i re-ordered a couple of tires similar to those in front which i changed more than a year ago, similar to the original ones. They were scheduled to arrive Monday, however they came Saturday morning or the day after the accident.

Friday evening i drove to Ilany, after both of us changed our mind, first Angela, then me, not to go that evening. 40 miles one way, had some difficulty driving, the car was drifting a bit, they were lots of drivers with weird LPN like KGB harassing us, as usually in the last few years. So i had to go with the speed limit.

In that day when she came from work she said she saw a light on the dashboard, it was the light showing something wrong with the airbags.

At midnight 20/21 i was coming back doing 60 in a 60 area on cruise control (which is kinda slow i recon). I was in the middle lane, because i was close to the interstate bridge where i don't want to drive on side lanes. Suddenly i noticed i was surrounded by a group of cars, left, right and behind. I saw in the mirror the lights from behind approaching at high speed, probably 20 over the speed limit. I could not change lanes, though the cars left and especially right might have slowed down in that moment, living me alone. Thing is i can't remember, because it all happened very fast. All i know is in my mind i had few options except to tell Angela to brace for impact and probably i accelerated in the last few seconds, reducing the difference in speed between the vehicles. For one second i thought he gave up then he accelerated too and i felt the impact. I was pushed forward at higher speed while all the other cars in the group fell behind. When i realized i still had control of the car i looked, the right lane was free, i veered right, stopped on the shoulder and tried to see his LPN. However when he passed he was surrounded by the other cars. All i could see was the tail of a huge white Ford pickup with the letters 4x4 on the tail. I took a picture of the car which was pretty damaged but still driveable (in the end, after talking to the cops who called a towing company who didn't want to go that far, calling our own towing that wasn't calling back, i drove the 22 miles from there to home, on right lane, and i had to pull over at least one time because of a truck that was coming again threatening from the rear).

The Washington State police came within 5 minutes. The cop looked bored and interested in a car that zoomed at high speed. He left the front lights on onto my car and i could not see his face. He said i should not drive the car back home cause it could not take another hit like that, which in the end almost happened. However, i do remember he looked like this guy.

He then agreed to drive before me (while another Police SUV came from behind, following me) and pilot me to a safe place. He exited the freeway than choose a street with poor illumination, near a property called G&G in the Minnehaha neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington, 2 miles away from Columbia river and Oregon.

There he asked me to write on a form called SUSPECT/WITNESS statement what happened and sign it. Then he asked me this question. What happened right after the impact? Because only those who survived such impact know what happens. The speed of your vehicle increases and that of the vehicles who hit you decreases. I think it was a test question. However, he did not write on the report "hit and run" which could have triggered a call for potential witnesses in the media.

Then he called their contracted towing company which came but refused to tow us "because of the distance". So i called the insurance, but the menus where such designed i had to file the claim first which meant an almost one hour conversation with the insurance claims rep. The cop left, the towing left and we were all alone on the dark street. I had to pee in a bottle i had in the thank that was crushed by the accident. The towing was not coming, i tried to call insurance again, got lost in menus and then i decided to drive back home. As i got on the freeway at around 2 AM, towing called saying they are within 10 minutes distance.

September 17

7:28 I can't believe i found the song! by Ping ping? & Al Verlane, 1960. He also wrote the song Taka Takata also sang by Joe Dassin. There is a Romanian version by Lucky Marinescu. No birth date, nothing. A bit disappointed. Sucu sucu? Pretty similar to the name for juice in Romanian. Suc.

1:04 Last of the summer wine. Jetstream is blowing like crazy however at the ground level, we have, as pompous Dave Saleski would say, an inversion bringing unhealthy levels of wildfire smokes over Portland area. Anybody checked  the polarity at the intertie this morning?

Gh man queer. 100 rounds fired?3:57 My hip already got better (after some sort of mostly cognitive therapy i imagined myself), yesterday, i walked again with dumbbells, however somebody loosened the battery connectors at my truck as we went as planned to Fred Meyer, after we finally cashed the second insurance check (story later), after almost one month from the accident. In the parking lot i started the fan for a minute, battery was  not charging earlier, and i got stuck with best option to walk home to grab the 10 amps battery starter i used for Hyundai before i fixed the battery connectors right before the accident. So i got home, grabbed the thing and heading back there, over the freeway, with a myriad of scenes in my way here and waiting for me on my way back.

Guess what. I went back with the jump starter and first gave it a try without. The truck started after 50 minutes of battery resting.

6:13 Eddy Helder. Most likely also Japanese.
6:26. Dark and swirls before the rain. Anticipating. It didn't rain in Portland for about 6 months."
Talking about psychosmatic ilnesses. They were so many idols lately in the news dying of weird illnesses (that i knew they were foreing professional actors and didn't really die). Could we be so attached to our gods to contract the same diseases and follow them in sickness and death?
7:51. Forget about Al Verlane, Eddy Helder.

9:40 Nu știu dacă există ceva absolut întâmplător, în seara asta căutam în jurul anilor 80, era normal să-l văd pe tipul ăsta, când m-am gândit că seamănă mai mult cu Drulă decât cel care-l găsisem înainte.

11:29 Ilus stands for illusion. What's the fuss about moving HM's non existent subs to herself.
