April 1st

Yes he once not long ago had hair like that. Besides age, rest of differences are. Focal length. Shorter means bigger nose, smaller ears, light direction.

Welcome to Earth, EaTon, comprende?

6:50 Choking smoke. Had to go and put onion in a number of holes. Smoke almost cleared by filters inside.

10:10 Sperietoare pentru cine până la ultimul paragraf. Cu alte cuvinte se pot reposta în continuare pisici virale sau orice altceva mai folositor.

Apropo de copyright, știați că există și coypleft? Mă gândesc, de câte ori deschid laptopul cu Chrome OS, pun parola și văd ecranul după câteva secunde, iar dacă aș avea Windows, ar trebui să mai aștept încă un minut, la fel și pentru browser care sare pe ecran imediat în loc de cel puțin 10 secunde la Windows.

3:21 Another item for my project delivered to the hub with no code. Never understood why Amazon doesn't send the code for the locker, but the apartment office and they again like last week didn't.



I would think customer service hub is not hub customer service, right? I don't see my choice there. I wanted to tell them to fix the problem and send me the email with the code and don't have time to chat right now.


5:00 I believe what i hear right now is an off road bike with no muffler at one of the garages, while Angela tries to sleep, and a power tool.

It's no secret i had problems with the AC on the "new" car. As weather warmed up, i started to hear bubbling sounds in the cabin caused by bubbles in the system.

Didn't know that at this car when you put the dial at lowest or left or bluest, which probably we did this week for the first time since we have the car which i brought here in October, the temperature control dial starts the AC on max.

Soon after the bubbles the compressor quit engaging (because of low pressure refrigerant, the pressure switch won't turn it on). So i figured there's got to be a leak but then i read on forums that if an AC is not used in a long time, all the rubber seals, in absence of oil, "dry out" and start leaking, which may be reverted if refilled with refrigerant and oil. (After i refilled, checking the pressures on both low and high pressure areas i found by example small leaks at the valves where i hooked the hoses to, that are getting smaller and smaller).

So i looked around and first bought a hose with a gauge from Amazon and squeezed in some R134a refrigerant and PAG 46 oil (as per car's manual) both from Wall Mart.

Wouldn't have bothered to write so much if it didn't have a rhyme with Scientology.

The compressor started when i put in some refrigerant but when i put in the oil i lost a good part of the refrigerant (per mistakes i made, it's a pretty complicated system) and  then i bought another tool from Amazon with two gauges and hoses (the one that was delivered last Sunday at the front door instead of locker that was locked, like it is right now), a freon leak detector and an oil (PAG) level guessing tool. The first tool above allows you to measure pressure in both low and  high sections (after and before the compressor) so you get a much better idea how much refrigerant to pour in according to some tables that came with it. I also put more oil but when i checked with that guessing tool it shows it is still very low so i bought more oil today. Trouble is i got a sense of smell of the "oil", (which again is not oil as we know it, but an alcohol) after i poured it in with that tool and disconnected the hoses, some fell out of those, and now i feel it in the cabin every time i start the blower fan (the pressure in the radiator under dashboard is actually lower when the AC is on, by being on the ow pressure side and at about 70 psi or twice the pressure in a tire when compressor is off). The leak detector shows nothing in the cabin, though it gets triggered by... probably the humidity or carbon dioxide in my breath (old type, corona discharge sensor), should have bought one of the more expensive ones which are probably more sensitive or go to a mechanic and pay i don't know, 100 bucks to do it. Another trouble is there are 3 different viscosites for AC oil, pretty much like for engine oil and the one i just bought at Walmart does not have anything written on, and my car as noted under hood requires PAG 46 or the lowest.

Why i chose to do  this myself. When i bought the other Elantra, in 2018, i went at the dealership in Beaverton and paid for an AC service. For under 200 dollars (back then), they do it with a special machine, they hook it to the car, the machine pulls all the freon and oil out (and recycles it to save the environment), and puts back (using the same hose) a metered amount as per car specs together with the oil, that is to avoid the guess work.

But what happens if they do service with that machine an older vehicle with possibly worn out compressor and contaminated fluid? That may contaminate the machine, and i don't know who's been there just before me.

The other thing, the AC of the car right now after i filled it myself, on max puts much cooler air than the other car, but i can't be sure until the weather warms up a bit more. In short i suspect they did nothing to the AC, as it was not cooling enough, which was obvious especially when i went to California, Nevada, etc.. But when i went to that dealership the next time for an oil change, they banned me from there, without giving a reason (no, they said i was messing too much with that car). I figured why when i did the rear brakes, this time myself. The two indicators for the pads in the rear where bent intentionally and setup to act as springs putting a small but constant pressure on the pads and the pads were pressing the rotors all the time, wearing them out unevenly but most important, lowering the mpg of the car, and i still don't know who and why the did that to me. I noticed that when i came back home from the next long trip.

But i'm going to figure pretty soon if i lost refrigerant, cause i'm going to hook the tool again to pour in the oil (which is again under pressure, mixed with some refrigerant, slightly higher than the pressure on the low side which is @25 for a good compressor, which allows you to pour it in, however have to pour it with the can upside down) and see again the pressures on the gauges, after one week.

Yes i will use the Walmart oil cause i guess it is 46 or the most common type. Or should i go to OReillys or Autozone to buy for one more dollar or the same price some that actually says 46 on it.

Needless to say, if you lost most refrigerant and with it probably the oil, which makes for about 1/4 of the total volume of fluid (as measured in liquid state) and refill it with refrigerant only, compressor won't be lubricated, it won't have enough compression or efficiency but even worse, the compressor may wear out and in the end seize, and on this car and most newer the compressor's pulley is on the same belt with water pump and alternator and the car has an EPS (electric power steering). So it's a big safety issue.

6:56 I tried a few times to intentionally smell the air coming from the AC, and it may contain mold and with the cold temperature, i got the sore throat again. (Could it be the drain pipe is clogged, got to check).

7:17 How many times am i allowed to guess? The woman at the liquor store, with a raspy, sometimes child like voice, pulled her mask brieflly today and i thought she looked like...

9:17/7:17 Am urmărit cu stupefacție revenirea sacadată la viață politică a fantasmei numită de dvs. Băsescu. Două termene prezidențiale cu două referendumuri de demitere, din care ultimul a dus la crearea monstruoasei legi 341/2013 care a modificat majoritatea referendumului la 12,5%.

Era într-un timp o modă, toți își fabricau trecuturi, inclusiv securiste (nu lipsite de o anumită aură patriotică), din toți azi îmi amintesc mai mult de Băsescu. Dar nu există absolut nimic care să dovedească existența lui pe vremea. Unul din primele lui video-uri, înregistrate înainte de alegerile din 2004 arată un puternic accent.

Dar astăzi toți avem nevoie de mai multă confuzie și iată că s-a băgat iar golden blitz să furnizeze, cu certitudinile lui.
