5:26 Laptop powered off by itself while on charger with 94% battery while editing last paragraph which i kept on yesterday's post. Awake since 2:40 AM with 6 hours of sleep. Last night i ran into some news about CCR. Not this CCR. I had no idea they sold more albums than Beatles in 69-71 or before breakup, but remembered the first waiter at Stix restaurant, who looked like their drummer, though without beard or mustache. Talking and moving very slowly possibly with an ascites belly.

In 97 at my Les Schwab job there was a guy looking in his early 30s named Jason who started to jump for joy every time they were playing Looking out my back door on then Portland Oldies on a boombox in the shop who looked like Fogerty himself though he would have been 52 at that time. The guy on the Harley with goggles at Castella gas station? Born on the Bayou? Also in Hungary Csaba Ötvös  is the husband of Csilla Ötvös.

7:19 Keep thinking. Can't remember exactly but i think yesterday after all that driving i could have gotten confused and tried to extra tighten the filter instead of unscrewing it. Especially because of vertical position of the filter and doing it blindly with the car not raised. After i tried a lot with a 6 inch ratchet i grabbed the torque wrench and i it was then when they started the alarm.

7:48 Minutes after i mentioned CCR. (Constitutional Court of Romania).

9:02 Went back to Jiffy Lube where i've been last night and got to speak to the guy who did the filter last night though he seemed younger. Huge noise from the carwash and a dog barking on the other side of the fence prevented a meaningful conversation but basically what he said was he has to remove the valve cover to see and that would be hours of labor at 120/an hour. In the meantime i went to Fred Meyer to buy some Crystal Geyzer spring water and there in the parking lot i opened the oil cap and looked and i saw what i thought it was a bubble in the oil. No drive or turn i make is unexploited, meet with again barrel like objects on the freeway and a van that said Xeno or Xenx clear, which are Scientology terms.

9:21 There was also a guy at Jiffy Lube who reminded me of David Copperfield.

12:06 I've been thinking. I tried to unscrew the filter the right way. Somebody else overtigthened it.
