4:17 Bacău, Băicoi. Lip sync, liposuction, Lysychansk.

Da, la Câmpulung aveam la un moment dat sobă cu rumeguș. Umpleam butoiul din mijloc exact ca în imagine, cu un par la mijloc care la urmă se scotea iar cu alt par se compacta rumegușul pe măsură se se umplea, dar în altă parte, unde aveam rumegușul, după care îl aduceam în casă și-l băgam în sobă (aveai nevoie de o podea solidă dedesubt în timpul compactării). Operațiunea dura jumătate de oră și era job-ul meu dacă eram acasă când trebuia umplut, care normal nu-mi plăcea fiindcă se compacta greu. Ardea încet din interior spre exterior și ținea un număr de ore în funcție de cât de bine era compactat. Nu cred că era prea eficient pentru că rumegușul este izolant. Căldura era transferată mai ales prin capacul rabatabil (din tablă subțire gen capac cutie metalică biscuiți) și burlanul din tablă care intra în coșul principal. Avea o gaură mică în capac prin care vedeai cât mai are de ars. Până se încălzea burlanul și coșul ca să apară "tirajul" adică o presiune negativă în burlan, ieșea și puțin fum în casă. Rumegușul era ieftin sau gratis fiindcă provenea de la fabrica de mobilă de vizavi unde am lucrat mai toată familia, la un moment sau altul.  Tipul acesta de sobă este foarte folosit în atelierele de tâmplărie unde se produce rumeguș tot timpul.

2:05 Last night i picked some garbage from around the building and threw it in the bin. A guy passed by and produced some sounds like hitting two big metal balls inside his pocket. Metal on metal. Suspicious since i changed oil, thought it was an allusion to something, and today when i drove the car i hear from the first time what i thought it was a low frequency rumble (the dreaded low oil pressure rumble maybe) but when i listened with a stethoscope i heard another sound that seems weird coming from lower side of the engine like a louder lifter (or maybe it's an echo of the upper). Too bad of my part that i didn't listen and recorded the sounds of this engine when i got it first. To end speculations, i lowered the phone as much as i could next to fan and recorded it and put it here, so i can compare it with what i will hear in the future. The oil looks clear, was thinking about changing it again but i will leave it for after the holiday. I checked the filter, it comes loose easily with my old tool, no need to buy a new one, got almost zero torque after the change at Jiffy Lube (they put it in by hand), but not leaking. Stripped both threads at the connectors at the battery (my modification), went to next size or 10 mm, was thinking about putting inserts so i ordered a kit on Amazon, it doesn't work on lead though. Went at Home Depot and bought some M10x1.25 nuts and bolts but needed a drill bit with hex end to enlarge the connectors, and the cheapest was like 9 bucks (3 times the price of a few years ago). Next to it was a kit with 6 bits for 11 bucks but when i went at the checkers it was 17. Missplaced i guess. Yesterday i figured a way to remove the ball joint and i'll try again after i'm done with the battery.

3:40 I don't think i mentioned today the live theater shows that occur around me for all the time i go at Home Depot or in any store or casino. Most typical, getting close to me where i was searching, at the same bay though the whole isle is empty, within one minute or waiting for me at the same bays if they know what i'm searching. One guy talking continuously but never answering the right answer or helping. Big crowd at the drawers with nuts and bolts. I said i bought some nuts and bolts. Two bolts and two nuts. M10x1.25. Bolts were in separate bags and the nuts they were both in one bag marked M10x1.25. However one of them was 1.25 and one 1.5 which is impossible because they are manufactured and packed automatically on different machines in big batches. So i finished only the negative side of the battery, running back there to get one more nut. And my screwdriver battery (which sometimes i successfully use as drilling tool) went out. I think in the older version the NiMetal batteries were lasting longer. But i lost that one inside the apartment and can't find it so i bought the one linked above.

Newest trend. Kids from apartments got plastic toy machine guns and use them all the time making sounds that remind of the real thing. Now that i want to leave they gathered behind my car.

9:11 Ok i pulled the ball joint, pinched the boot but in a different part where it had a hole in it, i tried before with that tool but could not figured how to do it (need to remove first the three nuts and bolts to control arm). Used my tool, not a wedge. The new one i had from ebay did not fit, however i was able to take the boot of that one and put it on the old which BTW did not have a damaged thread. Could not put back the ring that holds the boot, used some wire instead, i will search for the part and replace it now that i know how.

Though there are lots of people in casinos tonight, according to google maps, which means the machines are not that tight (because they make more money with more people), Angela lost some last night, it was a good opportunity to make it back but decided not to drive the car 150 more miles because of the bell like sound of the engine. Tomorrow morning will change oil, cut the filter to see if there's any piece of aluminum inside from that seal restricting the oil flow. Also would have been good to leave, they pop big (most likely illegal) fireworks at a small park 500 ft away in direct line of sight from our windows.

10:15 Had no idea Norwegian was so close to English.

10:30 Did i just say about Danish cookies boxes? Hava nagila?

Went and picked some Chinese food boxes from around the corner that were creating a big stink inside the apartment. They alwasy throw stuff we last cooked or ate like rice and chicken with teriyaki sauce. I think it's the same principle from news. They post garbage over my posts. Hope i'm gonna be able to sleep now.

Record number of teens roaming around tonight, no adults.
