9:45 Instant karma for trying to search a face. Place filled with raw tobacco smell which prompted me to write this. Finally figured the source of the stink i just discovered in the kitchen two days ago. Raising gradually and overlapping the cooking smell for the holidays and passing unnoticed on having focus to fixing car and finally getting me very sick. BTW, i found the service manual and torque specs for the suspension. After replacing the struts about a month ago, i tightened those bolts "by ear". Comparing now with the specs from manual i made mistakes ranging from 10% 20%. However, i don't believe those errors caused the problems i faced. Yesterday i found  the bolts for strut to knuckle on right side loose by up to half turn, after the car suddenly shifted, overnight, the clunk from right to left wheel. How many times i had to remove the wheels, (twice only to clean squeaky breaks, didn't do it right the first time BTW i didn't know ceramic brakes get clogged with ceramic dust). And still have to do it one more time. BTW last night when i last cleaned brakes and tightened some bolts i already knew the torque, the flooded the whole area with a mighty smoke. Smoke was subsiding when i was plugging holes in the ground, but one hole i only figured when i was done.

But the stink. About a year ago (february 21) i took this picture. On the right is my apartment with the washer and drier and water heater closet. More on  the right, kitchen. Those vents belong to Apt.2 and 4. Don't know exactly the order. One can see the snow melting from the hot steam directed downwards. I mean, it wasn't enough the vents were installed lower than driers and lower than windows for the ground level store. They changed vents about 2 years ago and came with these. Supposedly for the rain not go fall and get in the pipes that where directed mistakenly through the basement. What happens is steam gets pushed towards ground and from there under siding. Not much, but just enough. All there is needed is to wash dog's laundry (blankets, whatever) without enough detergent and then dry it. Dominicani.

Now that the smoke is over, the guy upstairs started while i'm back to my search. Wrong, smoke is back.

Went to look for holes and found this. Perfectly camouflage in fall/winter colors. This could have been the source too. Can you spot the trouble in this image?
2:52 Took Zyrtec which by some studies has antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity, half pill with every meal, as a result i slept more than 12 hours, which was more then welcome. Woke up, ate something, almost choked because of the noise upstairs, and the man took off minutes before i planned to (go for a walk).

7:59 After taking 5 mg Zyrtec (half pill) at every meal, and eliminating the sources of smell, my blood sugar is now almost half at 244, after i couldn't stop eating for an hour.

9:44 Square and compass, proper.
