July 7

8:52 Că mama v-aduce vouă: Frunze-n buze, Lapte-n țâțe, Drob de sare: În spinare, Mălăieș: În călcăieș, Smoc de flori: Pe subsuori. O ciucalată și un șobolan rozaliu.

12:40 They were a couple of garbage items on the ground, and the garbage truck was late (usually comes around 10 on Thursdays, blame it on holiday). I went to pick those when he was approaching the bin. Also the driver seems in training, it took him several moves to get there. I was looking at him and he stopped and thought he saw me and went to throw those bottles. However he restarted with a sharp right (instead of going straight to the bin as expected) and had to get out of the way. Left my mail on the stairs and went to picture the signs. When i came back, one guy again next to the floating van which i thought was gone. No need to say. In the park, people from my lists.

1:20 One of them snakes favorite method is ridiculing someone. That is they put you in such dilemmas and situations that you appear to others like making a fool of yourself. Another one have some of them publicly sympathizing with you while preparing you for the first. Then the effect is doubled.

Yesterday i accidentally removed the ground (wire) from the cooking tray with the laptop that went crazy on me and today my left foot were it was hurts, though the laptop is surrounded by it.

3:53 Because of the holiday landscape maintenance moved to Thursday. Before mowing there was trimming. The clearly Japanese looking (no disguise) trimming guy was doing fine until he got in front of the big window in the living. There, he stuck the trimmer all the way to the ground and raised a cloud of dust that went above the balcony upstairs. Got to go and hose down everything but the guy upstairs is home and can't hose his balcony. I was planning on starting the AC today as temperature inside is above 80.

4:00 Angela is exhausted. She told me yesterday she did 3 different boards. Today the lead, Steve Eaton (coincidence of name with the company) decided to slow her down a bit so he had her doing a board that had a missing part and Angela lost 4 hours because she first load the machine, realize there's a missing part, remove all the 100+ types of parts (because one of missing) and load new ones.

4:11 Yesterday when i was under car removing the filter to look for debris i saw the handywoman (tech) passing by with a large smile. There is no doubt she is a man (height, body shape) and she coordinates everything around here, since the day we moved, but i'm  not 100% sure if she is this guy.

8:42 I finally figured how to cut the first filter (with the tools that i have, a small saw, a screwdriver that broke and some pliers). There is nothing in it whatsover (there is a reflection from an oil bubble and the flash) and/or maybe a piece of filing from cutting the filter.

There are lots of speculations on forums on what the differential pressure for the bypass valve to open is. To end this, i used a scale (that wasn't working, but tonight it did after i put a battery that was hanging on the desk for a longtime) and a screwdriver. The valve opens at about 0.8 kgf and has a surface of less than 1 square cm. It is safe to assume it opens at 1 kgf/sqcm which translated in psi is about 15. Again from forums i found the differential for the filter media at operating temperature, which is about 1-2 psi. So it would take 15 times the viscosity, assuming the media differential increases linearly with it to open it which is very possible when oil is cold, but don't know if at 70 degrees F. But even if it opens, only a percentage of the oil will pass through it.

9:20 I knew it was going to be trouble if i went outside to wash the dust on the screen (instread of hosing at this hour) to be able to start the AC (since they trimmed the lawn and stuck the trimmer in the ground raising a cloud of dust earlier today). Children and teens everywere, like in a carnival, looking Japanese, probably "attracted by the ice cream van" earlier. Two kids passed by and one of them dropped intentionally (i saw him) an unopened bag of some food between the cars. It was for this reason, too many people passing by that i blocked (glued with silicon, removable) the screen at the backdoor, and never use it, but i have to go around if i want to wash it.

9:27 Just opened the door and they are outside the door now.

9:58 Bullied by kids at your own place. Some of them where leaning on the rear of the car when i started to yell at them. Some looking Asian, some (the older one who spoke English, Hungarian). One of them was handling a long stick like in movies with martial arts. I told them to go at their apartments. All unsupervised minors out in the alley at 9:30 PM. Was thinking about calling security or the cops but for security i don't know the number and i was pretty sure they will leave until the cops came. They moved a few ft away and started to say something aboug 6ft.

Then i went and took the car and left and drove around for about 15 minutes. First they went up the lawn and then they moved next to garbage bin, hostensibly sitting on another car, watching me and yelling and laughing. Parked and armed car's alarm which i usually don't because of so many false alarms in the past (but those were due to an old battery). Never seen something like that here, or maybe since the beggining when they were playing and yelling in the lawn for hours, but those were different kids. Actually they are all always different.

As we're eating, i hear them again in the lawn in the back.

10:24 Read the news. Shinzo Abe. The only way to figure when exactly something happened:

How is that important to me. 4:58 in France is 5:58 in Romania which is 7:58 (PM) here. Around that time the gang of kids hit the rail at my door while i was cutting that filter and was dressed summarily because of the heat (85 inside) and had my hands were full of oil. This wouldn't have happened if they didn't raise the dust today and i could hose the screens and start the AC. But i'm pretty sure i was not visible from outside, they were objects in the way and only the small desk lamp on and there was still enough light outside. 

Just did something and remembered something else. Today in the park i passed through the cloud of smell of a big dog pooping and got to breath it and now i'm contaminated again with it.

11:02 Recolta de contre. Lapte-n țâțe. Trebuie că e adevărat, dacă e scris în Adevărul. Shell. Copilașii care au venit la ușă.

Ok got it. They came to make a point. They have been promoting for years this image with kids coming at my door. The verses from the first entry today are from the Goat with Three Kids, a very popular short story for children in Romania and were intended as a political satire with links to my blog with impostors.

It is told usually in kindergarten but now i see voices against it. Truth is it is unappropriate for children, because of violence and sexual allusions. It is in a way similar to Red Riding Hood or Three Little Pigs. The author, otherwise celebrated in Romania and taught in schools, has also written porn stories. Most likely another subversive Hungarian posing as Romanian. He is said to be born in... Humulești.

11:09 Sunteți siguri că asta e Simona Halep? Ce mult a îmbătrânit...
