April 28

7:35 I read the news, oh boy! Is getting more and more complicated or Shogun (book) like.

Following my post, Moldova (Maia Sandu, Recean, whatever) created a semantic diversion, by banning Putin in Moldova.

Moldova is a small country east of Romania that have been at times part of Romania and at times part of Russian empire and Soviet Union. Official language is Romanian but there is a strong Russian minority, of which many of them came during Soviet Union. But there's more, like inside Matryoshka dolls. There's a country smaller than Moldova (unrecognized internationally except by Russia) east of Moldova where there are stationed Russian troops and a huge Soviet era decaying ammo depot.

Putin through Medvedev is now threatening (again) Moldova as response to Maia's unnecessary provocation. Medvedev doesn't have right now any official position within Russian Government or whatever that is.

I really hope the Russian people are going to get tired of the madmen real soon. But i doubt they really got any word to say in governing of their country.

9:38 Unannounced work at the building. Pressure washing with big noise. Retaliation for yesterday? That vacuum pump barely makes any noise.

10:55 Went to Walmart to buy pads and vaseline for my wounds. I did not realize how nauseated i was until i got in the car. While i was trying to park, a car with WA LPN came from behind and cut in front of me and parked in the spot in front of where i was aiming. The driver looked Asian, the passenger white, curly and muscular. I didn't say nothing.

Inside the store. An 80 years old woman was arranging stuff on the shelves. I could not find the Vaseline and she was kinda blocking my way and i asked. Though dressed in Walmart uniform, she said she's not working for Walmart however she pulled the phone and asked the pharmacist who was within reach at the counter. Found it about in the same time she showed me.

But at the exit. A 90 years old man was extending his hand like asking for my receipt, but when i tried to hand it he said you're ok you're ok while the hand was forgotten extended...

Here. Though it says on the noisy van, i don't think he's washing the buildings. All i could see so far is he's moving from one building to another with a long red hose and a tall ladder.

Because of all the distractions in the store i didn't get the right pads... The absorbent ones jus... absorbs the ointments i put on... Ordered some on Amazon, delivery today.

11:17 After absorbing, now reverse psychology (anybody knows since?, maybe after i started with my matches, in 2014 and the blog in 2018)... Hungary controls the EU and together with Japan the whole world...

11:54 I actually went and looked what he was doing... He used a power tool  to clean the dryer's vents. Numerous semantic coincidences with what i just wrote yesterday. Compressor, vent.

Then i went in the park by the time he left. On my way there i figured. My end of the drying vent is plugged inside so cold air won't get in in the winter, because i dry on closed circuit, as i wrote in numerous occasions, probably starting with this... It's got several advantages, one of them is it uses recirculated dried very clean air. The dog or cat smell from the previous owner that used the water heater pan as litter box at least doesn't get as much in the laundry... Less energy.

In fact they do sell now closed circuit ventless heat pump dryers. But they are very expensive. Mine cost 100 dollars the window AC at the core of it and 25 dollars pipes and plastic boxes i used for adapters.

No. First version was this.

12:17 Some of the pipes are leaking in the basement and i really hope he did not create more leaks. Vapors from the unusual design are wetting the floor under and the upper fiberboard part of the floor is always bulged in places, especially under the couch. But i remember last time they did it themselves, the team at the apartment, using power drills and rotating brushes. Two weeks after i fixed the pipes myself.

1:53 I composed this during my walk. As a conclusion to all i wrote before and a point of start for a new point of view.

I know what happened. God got angry with them. The place was heating up. The monkeys were trying to move North but they could not cross the Mediterranean.

So they gathered an army and went up North to conquer some vital space. There they opposed massive resistance from the part of locals. Kurukshetra war. They were defeated and moved to uninhabited places or with less resistance like Nepal and Nippon.

Some remained and were fascinated with another idea. God gave them a sign, a white blond blue eyed person was born. So they remained, trying to better high bread themselves into a better race. More honest, hard working, athletic, white blue eyed blond people thinking they will please god.

But we all know what the problems of inbreeding are. So god did not get pleased and they had to move together with their myths and lesser gods way up North, in Scandinavia (Svarga loca). They miscalculated though and moved too far north anticipating more heating up but the Milankovitch cycle peaked up.

One late branch arrived from Australia, were the Egyptians were originally from. After generations of roaming in Asia the descendants of Attila and his horde established in Panonia which name somehow bears resemblance to their language, Pama Nyungan and the word for Penguin. The penguin on Attila's shield. After that, Buddha's bettered people came from Nepal and together they gave birth to the Hungarian people as we know it. Maybe not so well cause the list of Hungarian actors include lots of genetic material from Europe, stolen or invited in Hungary.

All the three branches somehow sniffed each other and realized they are the same. Rest is recent history. America was still unoccupied. Back to their own style, slavery to create huge fortunes to beat Europe. WWI, II, Asian wars and now Ukrainian war to bring the inferior race to obedience.

5:12 Method for checking AC system valves for leaks, other tips.

It's about that time of the year. I remember the trouble i've been through last year when i decided to do it myself, because of not having much experience with ACs. Here is all i know now about it.

Buy new caps (from Amazon) that have rubber o-rings inside. Those hold a bit of pressure as well. Run the AC for about 5 minutes. Slowly untighten the caps and listen. If you hear a tiny hiss at one of them voila. You found your leak.

But wait there's more. You can replace a valve while keeping the freon inside the system. In fact, it's best to do it like that. You can check the new valve right away. There is a tool for that. Just make sure you have to right tip for the valves you're using.

When you add freon R134a you have to add PAG46 oil. There are various methods but some brands come in pressurized cans and you do it as you would with freon, no extra tools needed. Question is how much.

There are rudimentary tools to check for oil presence in the system but you can only check if you have and not how much you have (test results depends on how long you press the plastic tube against the valve and experience of the DIY-er). In the video above the color of the oil is abnormal or maybe there is a UV die in the system and it fluoresces a bit in normal light. Oil should be clear.

BTW you should not use refrigerant (freon) that is advertised as sealing leaks. Those are additives that swell your rubber parts. Trouble is the small cans like in the video above with "straight" freon come in 320 ml cans and most cars use 500 ml (check the manual or label under hood). But you can go by pressure. Charge a little, stop the engine and look at the gauge for the combined pressure (average between low and high). Should be in the yellow area of the gauge or around 70. Ten degrees more temperature outside mean almost 20 psi more. Or weigh the second can on a digital scale like i did.

The system has a pressure switch and the compressor would not start under a certain pressure, for protection of the compressor. But if the pressure was zero for some time and one of the valve was loose, moisture gets in it and saturates the silica beads that are hold in a sac and in a tube on the circuit. Mold would start growing inside that would survive the hell of freon under pressure and at high and low temperatures and then with tiny leaks contaminate all car. At this point you have to use a vacuum pump to boil and remove the moisture and make sure you do not add freon with air in the  system which will lower efficiency.
