April 15

6:20 Can't sleep and some ideas came to me. A mental experiment. Within the Doppler effect with a moving source for an observer it appears the difference of speed between source and destination adds up to the speed of sound in the opposite direction of movement, if we still define speed as distance needed for something (waves) to travel in a certain amount of time, and in the case of Doppler effect time is the same for both front and rear waves, but the distances change.
According to Einstein, the speed of light for any observer does not change regardless of how the destination or source moves. Then how do we explain the Doppler effect on moving galaxies (the so called shifting towards red).

But it could be just my tired brain playing tricks on me.

8:15 Angela is coughing for months. Last time i drove at night i was alone for long distances and started the fan at 1 or 2 and never felt the smell of fresh air. It is the second time i committed to check if there was an exhaust leak like i had in the other Elantra and all my vehicles.

Today i woke up after 3 hours of sleep because of smell of dog poop (wanted to pick them last night but i here a big dog barking and they were a couple of people at the other side of the building). As i said other times, if i breath it all night then my intestinal makeup changes from human to dog. Can't say more here. Ok nevermind, my f...s smell like dog.
 
So when i saw light outside i went to check and my time was not wasted. After having some trouble removing the heat shield from the manifold (and found my long lost 10 mm 1/4" socket, couldn't have done it without it, got a deep 10 mm 3/8 but i can't maneuver it in the small space), i finally put a deep 12 mm on the nuts of the manifold and i was and was not very surprised in the same time to see the first one or easiest to reach, on the upper left side from mechanic's view, was about 1/8 of a turn loose.

So i put it all back together and checked the battery's  connectors, on top of which i had put some duct tape for keeping contaminants out, i saw on the plus side the tape was very easy to remove and that was also loose.

Then i started the car and felt a vibration and went to check and i found another loose one, on the nr.1 ignition coil which can be accessed without removing the engine's sound shield. I tightened all those about 2 weeks ago.

When i was putting back the last piece of tape that i took from inside and did not completely closed the door, thinking it will be a few seconds, i saw a shadow in my peripheral view and i thought it was Angela coming down the stairs, but Angela was in the shower and instead was this midget, a small person of mature age, that again is a guest star around here, she climbs at nr.3, dressed all in black sports or yoga like suit, passing casually between me and the stairs which is not a walking place (or coming down the stairs, can't tell). She looked slightly taller than the one i saw before acting the same role. Usually as a kid coming from school.

It's a deja vu. Every time i work at the car someone passes at least once through this unbelievably close  space between me and stairs, usually kids.

Thinking of eating but i'm nauseated by the dog poop smell. Waiting for Angela to come out of the bathroom to go and pick and throw those. But it's useless now. Should have done it last night.

8:57 Couldn't find any of those. Instead i found other objects that promote mold smell in the enclosed yard. An used kitchen sponge. Towels, food wrappers. A the no dumping place, a couple of red couches. Could they have been dumped after i wrote the above (shifting to red). They will stay here for days, until they will pick them and put them in the first garage beyond that wall. Eventually after it will rain upon and get wet. Then they hire some scavengers that come once a month and empty that garage full of fun.

Like usually, after i got outside the first time, within 10 minutes air traffic was diverted in this area and plane after plane flew buy with flaps on and engines revved (to create lift at low speed) making a sinister sound.

 9:08 What do i know. There is a building 4. Then there must be a building 5. So there must be an apartment 55. Why some buildings are numbered with letters and some with numbers, i don't know.
