ET 18

Just finished fixing the 25 years old refrigerator. Milk was bad this morning again (5-21-2013) and i looked and saw half of the radiator in the freezing compartment was frozen and half not. Was sick all they because of drinking bad milk. I was about to faint while driving and almost got into several accidents.

Had to go to see the judge for the traffic ticket. Could not concentrate, could not form phrases.

The defrost cycle was overlapping the functioning cycle due to a short in the defrost timer. Where i've been 3 years ago. Until a few months ago i had a thermometer inside and at times was even freezing liquids in there so i had to raise temperature a bit. But took apart the thermometer once for some reason and i was too lazy to put it back thinking i was safe. I bet this time the devil stuck its tail into it.

I'll put here the pictures i've taken back then, 2010:02:19 @15 PM. Too bad i cannot put the stench too. The foam separator between the freezer and the fridge compartiment was contaminated with deeply rotten food especially pizza sauce through all its volume. It put it in a huge new black garbage bag together with a gallon of chlorine and soaked in clhorine for hours and i took the picture after. Still stinking. Since i couldn't find a replacement part all i could do was coat it with a transparent paint and seal the stench inside. The sheet metal separator that covers the radiator in the back of the freezer was rusted on the back on almost all its surface and it was stinking so bad that after i cleaned it one day with CLR in the balcony it was still stinking. In the end replaced it with one i made out of plexiglas (carbonite). Some other plastic parts were partially melted because one of the defrost switches was out of calibration. The evaporation pan in top of the compressor was full with a brownish stinking unidentified organic matter that i had to remove with a cheasel only to find out that it had a hole in it.

But in the end i made it work, after a month or so. Was still stinking for the first year or so.

When i moved in about 3 years ago i tried and offered the manager of the firm that leased us the apartment to buy a new fridge with my own money but he refused so the only other choice was to try and fix it.

Pictures From The Streets 2

05/21/2013 01:51:48 PM BURIAN

Minutes before i took this picture me and this guy passed an accident that happened on Kruse and Bangy. I was on the left lane and he was on the right he tried to avoid some debris from the accident and instead of braking and waiting he crossed into my lane and i saw him right before almost hit me and i pulled the wheel left and avoided the collision. But my surprise was the license plate, again, BURIAN. So i followed him until he stopped but could not get a better picture. With Firefox, if you middle click on the picture, can see (opens in a new tab). (his plate was covered by the dark coat for  photo radar and really hard to read).

Pictures From The Street

First i wanted to title this Funny Pictures From The Street. Well, the're not so funny. (i have to mention that all pictures are taken when traffic at standstill and no one was in danger). I hope it's going to be a series.

Door to door dry cleaning 147-FXA. Funny how i felt this morning before i went to see the judge for the traffic ticket, i could swear inside the apartment was smelling like... When i got out next door was more than cracked, almost one inch open and the outside door completely. 47 is the building number. FXA could mean fixya. In other words, all the way driving there, stop and go traffic, and in front if the judge i was impaired, i could barely speak and form phrases.

YAHKOO 05/21/2013 07:55:22 AM Hwy217 near Washington Square

The judge and he reduced my fine to 195 like to everybody that was pleading guilty. I did not plead guilty, i pleaded no contest because i really can't remember if i stopped at that red light. I asked him for the video which i could not find on the internet at the address mentioned in the citation. He said he does not have it available. But he showed me the speed at the entering in the intersection, 18 mph, at the exit, 18 mph and the time elapsed, 1.44 seconds which does not correspond with the pictures that show much less than 44 feet you make with 18 mph in 1.44 seconds, (in the pictures is shown about 25), so i must have slowed down or stopped and restarted. I wanted to tell him more like how the guy who came from the other direction almost hit me then changed direction when i saw him. That also explains my scared face in the picture. All the other cases before me where kinda similar with turns into wrong lane like that one almost did. In the end he shut my mouth, he said he doesn't want to hear more of this. In my way out after i payed the fine i asked for the transcript or the video recording of the session. One of the cashiers used the word arraignment. I asked them if this can be called arraignment so i wrote down for the request of the recording the phrase "arraignment for a traffic violation".

On my every trip i see dozens if not hundreds of similar license plates numbers and company cars or trucks with similar inscriptions, all related to my daily mishaps. There are people around here that wish to spend large amounts of money of me. By the way when i came back from Wilnsovile Fry's this morning (cannot find a faster CF for my camera so i can shoot continuously more than three pictures (i bought last week one that says 500x but is slower than my 266x i bought four years ago) on the ramp towards Kruse way this car with a "Portland Clinic" inscription on it cut in front of me from the ramp back onto the freeway way (far after the previous entrance where presumably he came from) and i noticed a smaller inscription under Portland Clinic, We Specialize In You. The driver also seemed pretty stunty by the way he made his turns.

It is written with red letters above that this violation was captured on video. However, when i went to that address and put in the codes and the numbers from above it did not work. All i could find was the same pictures.
