8:43 Got four hours of sleep, can't sleep anymore. Had this wet towel on top of the filter last night that was absorbing some of the fine particulates that got in here yesterday, but after it dried out, it actually started to put those back in the air and i woke up with this feeling of "dry air".

After staying inside for days waiting for deliveries and doing whatever at the computer and breathing air polluted with all kinda stuff, from near and far, last night i was happy i could go out for a few hours so we just drove to Spirit Mountain. In there, the same as usual, people getting in my way or popping out of nowhere when passing other people. Had one of their famous hot dogs, one sip of coffee, lost about 40 dollars and then went outside to get one more drink in the car.

When i stepped out, there was this blond woman, looking more like the one in the right in the link, about 30 feet ahead of me who turned around and started to yell at the casino. "I'm not going to give you any more money, b..."! but she was actually facing me. She continued doing that as i was getting too close to comfort to her and then i told her, cause now she was yelling in my face, "who are you calling b..." and she said "the casino" and i told her "the casino is an inanimate object, you're making it look like you're yelling at me", and then i tried to pull the phone to record what she was saying, and the guy next to her, who was looking exactly like the guy in this article said "you're not going to actually hit a girl, are you?" and i said "no, i'm just going to record her" and then i tried to bring the recording app and when i did she stopped calling me a b..., but then started to walk around me, like a satellite, but did not say much any more and then i broke free of those two and got into the truck. BTW the truck's got again a loose bolt on the control arm at driver's side and drifts on the road.

I remember vaguely this is not the first time when get to interact with people who just died in the news...

8:52 FedEx is crazy, Troutdale is like 27.5 miles away from Tualatin.

9:21 Wow never seen air moving so fast across the Pacific... Jet stream speed there must be something like 300 mph...

9:29/7:29 Bugetul (bugetele) pe anul acesta devenit lege în ianuarie este "croit" pe programul de guvernare al guvernului din acel moment (cine le mai ține minte, guvernul). Orice modificare la acel program de guvernare înseamnă modificarea bugetului, care însă este lege, care nu se respectă oricum niciodată... La ce bun un nou program de guvernare care posibil contrazice legea care oricum nu se respectă niciodată la fel cum nici un program de guvernare nu a fost respectat vreodată...? A și legea plafoanelor...

11:14/9:14 Ungurul care-l "joacă" pe generalul Ciucă este un înotător, a câștigat numeroase medalii la olimpiade pentru infirmi, paralympics cum le spune (chiar acum mi-a picat o fisă, însuși cuvântul olimpiadă, olympics în engleză conține rădăcina limp, scrisă puțin altfel dar pronunțată similar, care înseamnă a șchiopăta), unde se califică fiindcă are paralizie cerebrală. Omul este foarte inteligent, vorbește engleza ca unul care s-a născut sau a trăit mult timp într-o țară unde se vorbește această limbă. Însă dacă vă uitați cu atenție, veți vedea că are probleme de echilibru, de coordonare a mișcărilor, mai ales în timp ce vorbește.

3:26 Never had a chance to completely inspect the car after i bought it. Though still very tired, after worrying for about a week about what else it could be, today i finally went (and grabbed the parts that finally came, both with FedEx, after much complaining to customer service) and was determined to take pictures for most part underneath and outside though the car was in a puddle of water, no matter the distractions (like last time, the plane that was circling above with determination until i shot some video and uploaded it).

This is what i found. The fuel tank is possibly damaged. Possibly leaking gas already, but not enough to drip on the puddle underneath (gasoline is visible on water). I don't know yet how that is called, the suspension rail in the rear (rear axle). By the freshness of indentations in the axle, it seems that all damage was done with forklift after the auction. Still thinking if to keep the car and sue IAA or put it back in auction. I started the engine and saw no check engine lights (i didn't know about the possible gas leak until i got back home and saw the pictures done with the phone on the computer).

7:16 Anybody needs a job? FedEx (and everybody) is hiring.

7:24 Surprise! After missing for a month or so, the guy upstairs is back... (or so i heard for a minute or two).
