Dust in the Wind

5:37 AM Woke up ten minutes ago after 5 hours and a half of sleep with pains all over my body. As i could not totally sweep the dust, and the wind blew yesterday from that direction (jet stream passed over and went south of Oregon) the dust got in the AC and everywhere inside. Got to hose the AC and the stairs and mop the kitchen floor. Blogger isn't perfect either. If i want max resolution for a picture, i have to upload it twice. Once at X-large size and that gives me best resolution for slidewhow. Second at original resolution and substitute the name of the file in the first upload and that gives me max resolution for the post itself. Default size for X-large is 600 and display style is block so i got to modify those two. That is after the last modifications they did about a year ago. I did not upload the following images twice except for first, cause it was not worth it. To see those at max resolution can click on an image and go into slideshow mode. Can move the mouse wheel to get an animation like effect.

Next day. I went to a walk and discovered there was more redwood chips and dust that have been hose by someone who tested the hydrants.

But maybe the best way to show the dust problem is a picture with the bedroom windows. You can see how dirty is the screen (could have hosed it if the window was closed). I only touched about half of the fixed part of the window. I wanted to take more pictures, like how white the stairs are becoming when i hosed them several times washing the mold from concrete tiny grooves and crevices but they occupied strategically all directions in which i could take pictures, one of them was the Japanese woman acting Latina with kids at the first entrance of building D

1:29 Went for a short walk around the hospital. When i came back again two big guys in the same bulldozer on wheels making a big noise and from the opposite direction, an ambulance coming behind me i almost didn't hear. Again at the last intersection a small black Chevy, maybe electric came with no noise from behind.

When i left i couldn't help but notice, yesterday they made a similar mess at the end alley of the U shape complex, where there is still dust from January gravel. A huge U-howl truck blocking an intersection, except for a small passage. The wind today is blowing from that direction too.

When i came back again scenes with kids that grew up, an old woman coming out helped by a strong man and the handy(wo)man passing to protect.

4:55 Dust inside and pain and nothing else prompted me to go and sweep. It was a two hours job manually with a broom. Besides the rude dust, i also picked lots of gravel dust. If i didn't it would have went like this for 6 more months or more. More and more people some with kids interrupted me. A helicopter flying sideways just above trees passed twice. Towards the end i just gave up, they were some piles i didn't pick. And i'm not going to do it again. Wanted to go to take a picture, too many people get in the way.

One can see at the end of the alley there is much gravel left i simply could not pick up because too many people were getting in the way, same when i took this picture. Then Angela came and went back, washed my clothes and took a shower. Maybe other time. What seemed impossible at first i've done today in less then two hours, there is a one hour job left.

9:52 Suddenly realized who might have beeen in the apartment while i was sweeping (found signs at the door moved). An unusually sexy young woman (rather short, dark complex and hair) who later passed my car when i was working on it. BTW, this car has way too many plates transmitting voltage from battery to whatever. Unnecessary contacts that can get contaminated with oil and dirt.

Tonight i washed the plates with a solvent (electronic cleaner), put them all back together (pictures tomorrow) and went for a test drive. The voltage at the lighter plug was 14.3 and 14.4 while driving, 14.2 at iddle. Mileage to Wilsonville and back (excluding the first entry ramp cause i forgot to reset it) was 43 at the dashboard. Then i drove to Eaton (Avery St. and Tualatin Sherwood Hwy) and back and total mileage was 39.6

This is the closest image i could find in my phone right now showing the plates. There are three plates and 2 bolts and nuts between the battery terminal and the three main power cables.
