9:14 I wrapped a plied wet towel around vacuum hose to make for the diameter and applied it on the dryer's vent while he was drying upstairs. Though the flow increased a lot when vacuum was on, it went back down when i removed it which leads me to the conclusion that he simply never cleaned the dryer's filter, which explains why after a month since he moved, the drying process started to last longer and longer. The vacuum sucked the flap which came out of its place (don't really understand how, don't think there was enough force, unless if it was already out of one of the two retainers). Went to put the flap back but turned around to grab a mirror (the vent is covered by some sort of rain cover and can't see unless you bend down really low) when a car came at high speed and stopped in the spot right next to the vent, but i was already inside when he came. A gray Honda with a guy i saw around here before, looking Japanese, dressed in a red hoodie pulled over his head inside the car. He left in about 5 minutes and i went to put back the flap.

5:14 Last night i applied online for a trip permit for the car however it could not be done online sooner than 4 days, so it starts on Tuesday. When i went to pick the mail they were a variety of different shows going on, really crowded, one that caught my eye was a vehicle with a trip permit. Only because i was thinking i could have that one in the mail already? Or because i wish one? Both? I mean, it would not be impossible, if they ship it automatically right away, but i guess the reason for the 7 days delay is the mail.

Picked from the locker the two dent pulling kits. Though i canceled them, Amazon shiped them. Today i decided to keep them just in case they don't start on my car real soon, and that is before i get the trip permit. With the kits, i could easily pull the dents here. I mean, i apply a pad with hot glue and use the handle to pull it. No noise, no nothing. In the end, i could go in a parking lot and paint the side of the car with spray cans like i did with the Nissan. Use some clear coat this time, to make it last. Trouble is, there is peeled paint on the hood, which looks replaced from the first accident, and need to paint that one as well.

7:43 About 15 minutes ago. Was anxious about trying the dent pulling kit and went to try it on a dent on my old truck. Hot glue smells real nice like pine resin. Some guy with a diesel engine came and started maneuvering in the empty spot next to mine (guy upstairs left at 9:30 and came at 7:30 in the evening). Then another car came and started to honk at the first one though it was obvious he was about to leave. I went real loud. WTF? Then it turned the car that just came was the guy upstairs. I took my tools, including  the glue gun inside. He is now upset? Not even squeaking? How can he manage one time not to squeak while he does it all the other times?

8:12 Pulled the dent out, in about half hour with the 48 dollars kit. Dent was smooth, about  5-7 mm deep on a 10x10 cm area. From pressing my hand when closing the hood? Doesn't need anything else before painting (maybe sanding the edges of the old paint), the edges of the paint that i applied myself a while ago from a can went first, primer is still there). Tricks. You have to apply the hot glue on the dent, not on the pad and then apply the pad real quick. You have to let it cool for at least one minute. Don't need to clean the pad, can go layer after layer, glue sticks to previous layer on the pad which accelerates the process dramatically. BTW. Can't clean it with alcohol from the pad as they say, from the car it just pops if you pull that handle real hard. I don't think it's much slower than "classical method" with welded sticks and a slide hammer, but a lot less messy (no need to clip the metal sticks and sand the area). I think it would have worked in an area with original paint, without damaging it, if it wasn't already damaged.

8:35 Still no squeaks from upstairs, just some real loud cursing in Sanish. OK, a bit of squeaks and he started the drier.

10:39 Spuneam că România poate funcționa la fel de bine cu sau fără guverne. Au venit să mă contrazică, aruncând în joc o nouă linie de metrou, de 5,4 km, decizie la nivel de secretar de stat. 

Analizând sumele și comparând cu alții nu pot decât să mă mir de costul lucrării. La ei, 40 milioane euro pe km, la noi 2900/5 milioane euro împărțit la 5,4 adică 107. Oricum, cele 2.9 miliarde lei, după cum spune și articolul, nu sunt în totalitate din bugetul de stat care totalizează 400 miliarde lei pe an sau 32 miliarde numai la Ministerul Transporturilor, etc.. Poate cineva să spună ce se întâmplă cu cele 32 miliarde de lei, bugetul pe un an al Ministerului Transporturilor?
