October 9

6:19 On my way to Warm Springs, i was messing with the buttons trying to set cruise control and i ran into a screen that was showing tire pressure separately on each tire. Most were around 30, right rear was 48. I stopped at Brightwood and fixed the tire pressure. There was a bit of change in driveability but not much. Here at Indian Head casino, there was a place ready for us with a green truck next to us that started a modified exhaust that shook all the dust in the rental for about 10 minutes while Angela was eating. Really worried about the truck in the shop, thinking about timing when it broke, going in with a cracked radiator and without a working starter. I never ran out of coolant. 7:44 Slept 5 hours last night, a bit dizzy after driving for 2 hours and searching for cars for another one. Here they came at this Diesel truck at my right (where the other noisy one was an hour ago) idling for more than 15 minutes now. It's not the noise, i can feel the vibration in my body. There is a bit of exhaust too. Yes i started the car two or three times because of battery warning and it's only ethical they can do the same. Then another diesel came at my left and they were also eating inside with engine on. So i went inside to the restroom, realized i forgot my phone of course because of being a bit nervous when i left and when i came back i went by mistake to another car also with WA LPN though tan, on the other side of the diesel (just stopped) and tried to open it. After i pressed on the remote a couple of times, i even tried the door. Trouble is, i opened my car in that moment that was on the other side of the diesel so for a few seconds, somebody could have entered it, access my laptop, etc.. Now the man went inside, haven't had a chance to see his face. Ingannare or doubling, a huge diesel towing truck (Princess Towing, figure) making about the same noise just came and hit the bumps. Yes it feels every move i make is followed or waited for with everybody in here being on the same team of actors, directed in real time by AI. The good question of course is why i came here tonight. There was yet another party with food giveaway at the Stoneridge park in sight from my window, with people going in and out and passing by our door, for one.

Just saw the driver of the diesel truck. He poses as Native American, with his gray pony tail and stuff. How many like him in Hollywood and/or in Budapest?

7:58 Another huge exhaust started. No i didn't have time and intention to write how much harassment there's been on my way here (a prolonged vroooom from the guy who left, to be heard for miles).

8:03 Two more just passed.

8:09 Princess Towing is back, apparently searching for something.

8:13 Another vrooom.

8:16 And another one.

9:24/7:24 Ingannare, sunt sigur că unul (cel mai mic) ar fi căzut în Japonia iar celălalt în Ungaria, noroc de Mask(le) care ne apără planeta, s-a născut, a crescut, s-a îmbogățit și acum face rachete și mașini, ce ne făceam fără el?

11:23 I carry an old magneto-electric/diode microwave detector with me (built by me, a similar one was selling for 7 bucks at Fry's, many years ago they don't make them anymore, they are as reliable as simple). Every time i don't use it (keep it on top of keyboard) i get pains in my belly and hands when i use the laptop like right now on the steering wheel. Unpowered, the needle moves by example only by the emitting power of my phone. At home it moves when i use wi-fi on the laptop, not here, though their wi-fi is at least 100 ft away, i'm in the parking lot, no LTE or 3G on my phone. Though i had it, forgot about and it fell under the laptop. Then all around my laptop started to hurt, went inside, kinda mad. Next to the poker machine where i usually play here they were three or four super sexy b...s yelling like hell in Spanish so everybody in the casino can hear them. As i moved away, one of them came with me and went to stay in line at the cashiers to cash a ticket as i passed by. Haven't seen their faces, i'm too worried about my truck and buying a car. Went further away, there was this guy with a big belly laughing next to me. I spent my 20 dollars and went back in the car to read news and have a drink. Next to me the same guy with the diesel started to idle, for at least 5 minutes now. Though all doors and windows are closed and fans are not working, some exhaust comes in because of again, vibration.

September 19

Last night i went to Spirit Mountain. Was so tired i slept one hour in the truck. Battery connectors where loose, i tightened them when i left. Finally figured the squeak at the left wheel when backing up from the spot here at the apartment. I think the same bolt from the control arm is loose again. When i came back with the heavy rain and cheap tires (by the brand Venezia) i had trouble keeping the truck on the road, in some areas had to slow at 35.

4:29 Nici o fraudă în plus față de cele obișnuite. Singura chestie e că se cheamă cițy și are 3 milioane de asigurați (chiar m-am mirat dintotdeauna de ce pe Câțu îl cheamă de fapt Cîțu). Ca să mai uitați de autostrăzi și buget. Am mai spus și repet. Ăștia, ca să vă fure banii și pe dvs. cu totul, mai întâi vă fură mințile, subliminal. Asta e răsplata pentru Tiranon și faptul că românii s-au băgat în Ungaria în 1944. (Simbolic, fiindcă sovieții au fost cu greul). Sârbii au luat-o pe cocoașă din același motiv, Iugoslavia nu mai este, Cehoslovacia nu mai este, etc. iar românii au fost forțați să plece din motive economice. (click cu roata mouse-ului ca să măriți imaginea).
5:25 Just went and cleaned some wet bread crumbles from the stairs upstairs, being afraid of mold. But i did it with a painting brush, that was still smelling like paint. Now i'm paranoid about what if they saw me (no doubt about it) and say i wanted to make the stairs slippery for whoever.

11:02 I was searching for someone key to the whole story and one of the last pieces of puzzle in Romania, thinking i beat the moles with two mole chasers, modified to use two batteries only when an exhaust started. The vibration, within minutes, filled the place with a weird smell, though i am surrounded by three filters. I went outside and found, among others, a full can of beer blue lite that was slightly cracked, a used green bag from bottle drop returns, like someone grabbed after counting from there, other debris, mold starters on the red mulch, a one inch deep hole next to alleys that i don't believe belongs to moles, where most likely someone from a passing car stuck burning material by a ninja burning recipe. I tried to cover the whole but someone was passing. That stuff will burn inside ground for hours.

12:06 Dragged Angela (Sunday morning, really hard to convince her, especially under influence of that smoke) in the park to escape the peak. One my way there, a Tualatin Valley fire SUV with flashing lights and siren made me pull over (ingannare). Did not clear completely my mind with that walk in the park. When we got back while driving i saw the hood of my truck was popped. Impossible to have driven it like that all the way to and from Spirit Mountain last night or even this morning without seeing. That distraction alone together with the smoke (that was different now) was enough to make me forget check the sign at the door. Now Angela is trying to kill the aphids on the plant spraying cold water from the fridge. A kid is screaming in the backyard and alley. When i backed up from the spot and veered i heard the squeak again on the right side. Got to get under truck to torque that bolt. Got to find the torque spec for the battery connectors that keep getting loose. But now my biggest priority is to find that guy. And i think i found him but don't have good pictures. But i think i just might have found by chance somebody else (to check later). But i'm absent minded, thinking at one million other things while browsing faces.

1:34 I figured where the smoke was coming lately. The holes that i dug myself for the solar buzzers, which they removed. I was reluctant to cover those after i installed the new completely buried versions, since they were so hard to dig. I noticed the one they left, at the bedroom window, was very loose in its initially very tight hole.

Also. Went under the truck and was lucky to have a 21 mm socket which i used with three extenders to torque the bolt for the left control arm (bolt is easier to reach than nut). Specs seem to be in the 80s ft lbs, i put my short torque wrench to max which is 80, the extensions themselves gave up one quart of a turn, i think i did torque some but the wrench didn't click. I was also impaired by the smoke and embarrassed by that kid who was staring at me while small jets were flying very low above.

They played the same old trick like they do in this situation. They brought a small green pickup with the bed in the door of the first garage, with the cabin close to my truck, having a kid on the passenger side. Decided earlier to leave because of smoke which may be subsiding later today, but still got to figure the size of a socket for the nut for the other bolt, could be 19 or 17, so i try to torque that one too.

2:33 Smoke have subsided but we're about to leave. Just remembered something. Last night at the Liquor Store at the Market something in Grande Ronde the guy tapped my card 3-4 times and inserted it a couple more. The sell kratom there. At the counter, talking for minutes, a drunk guy with a mask who asked all kinda stuff and kept there like 10 minutes while in store entered a woman with two kids all weirdly dressed. The drunk's guy voice seem Tom Cruise's.

July 25

12:20 Got an appointment for a tooth extraction.

12:55 Got nauseated after i ate. Went outside and smelled a dog poop in the back, probably in front of the other balcony, where dogs are living. Went at the truck, nauseated. But my truck wouldn't start though it worked perfectly last time so i lost my appointment. Looks like it's the fuel pump that was replaced relatively recently though i was hearing the pump hissing. I panicked and didn't listen for the regulator hissing though i could hear the pump. Tried and swapped the fuel pump relay with another one with no success. Sounds like another of their doubling schemes cause i just wrote something similar in another post. Came back inside, moved the appointment for tomorrow.

I grabbed a tool that in the end proved useless. I went outside, saw the white bearded guy who was doing his round. Took the picture with the bottles at 1:01. Went at the truck, opened the hood with the pliers (handle is broken), touched the inspection valve of the fuel rail with the car key and a few drops of gas came out (earlier i swapped the relay with another one). Fuel pump regulator came to mind (though i replaced that one myself again a few years ago). I went and turned the key and listened and the fuel pump was hissing. Fuel pump regulator was hissing too though kinda pulsating (like maybe having air bubbles from being emptied). I removed the key from ignition and waited for the bearded guy to pass.

One older Japanese guy who from a distance seemed like a teen came and passed between cars. Waited for him to pass too to test the fuel pressure again (empirically), by opening the line with the car key which i did when nobody was around. Drops of gas climbed 4 inches high. Went and tried and truck started. At 1:10 pulled the phone and tried to call the office a couple of times with no success. Left the truck with engine on and came back to grab other shoes, but couldn't get in cause i didn't have the keys.

Drove over there. I barely squeezed when i merged on the freeway, while the traffic on that lane suddenly stopped, forcing me to brake very close to the grey car in front, worrying if i'm not going to get hit from behind. Was thinking about changing the lane when i saw a few big trucks some with chrome bumpers zooming at high speed. Finally changed lanes and looked. The guy at the wheel of that small metallic gray car with a black beard and a yellow shawl around his head, oriental style, who wouldn't move his head, looked either very sick, dying or already dead. It is not the first time when i thought i saw dead guys at the wheel of probably retrofitted self-driving or remote controlled cars. Thinking what would have happened if i hit that car.

Got there at 1:30. I saw a couple of Japanese guys covering the windows for the offices in the building, like preparing to paint, with dental office windows already covered. Yesterday or earlier today remembered for how many years i was watching the planes in the sky from the office while sitting on that chair. I wanted to call but changed my mind. I think i checked the phone for time but not sure. Came back home, was in line at the red light camera, 5th or 6th but can't remember if i looked when i passed. I looked behind a few seconds later after taking the corner and the light was still green which was odd.

I can still hear the crows or ravens that were cawing all morning, very loudly. Could it be they are attracted by my diabetes smell, hypnotizing or entraining my breath or brain, putting me in a light trance, thinking maybe instinctively hurrying my soul on the other world so they can feed on my body?

5:24 While i finished cooking dinner, some kids first stated to yell like crazies and now are crying in the distance. No, yelling again. No, crying.

11:50 Scorpene-le franțuzești (care sunt de 4 or mai scurte).

Chevrolet S10

Chevy ES 10, Isuzu Hombre, 2.2 liter engine.

Some of the biggest and time consuming problems i ever had in US were with my vehicles.

In late April 98 May i had an accident with my 89 Ford Escort.

Got that Escort from Insurance Auto Auction in Sherwood while i was still working at Credence in 1996. I went to the auction with Lyle, my buddy at Credence (at one time i thought he was Sir Tim who invented internet, today i think he was just another actor). I was doing lots of overtime and had some money, but the auction was rigged. The moment i stopped bidding the car was sold to me though other guy bidded after so they made sure they got biggest priced i was decided to go with. 850 dollars. Car was 7 years old and was wrecked. I went to Lyle's place in Hillsboro i guess, tied the car with a cable from a tree and backed up until i straightened the frame enough so i can put a fender on. Got the fender don't remember from where. Bumper was still peeled of paint from the wreck. Threw in a radiator, painted the fender with a can and voila. However it had a problem somewhere under. Frame was broken and squeaking and every time i was accelerating it was pulling right and breaking left. 1.9 liter, for that size (it was GT figure), wide custom wheels with one bad tire and broken exhaust. It was making a terrible noise until Shawn Parker in 97 helped me fix it by simply pressing a new muffler after cutting the old corroded one.

It had a stick and Angela learned how to drive on a permit it but didn't pass the test twice, last time from a loose belt on the steering pump. I think she passed the test in 99 after we bought the Nissan that was also totalled and fixed by another "Romanian" guy, George, from Dallas, Oregon who was buying cars from insurance and fixing them for a living.

In that April we went at Tillamook and by the bay she lost control of the car, we rolled over but did not have a scratch. http://georgesblogforfriends.blogspot.com/2012/11/shawn-parker.html

The car was also driveable but the hood was 1 inch shorter on the right side i guess. I could have waited to get another totalled car from another auction (i was told all Romanians did that way) but i went to Russ Chevrolet in Tigard and got the S10. First on lease then after three month i bought it on a finance of 190 dollars a month. Then i was working at Credence as software engineer with two guys who now seem to had been again Shatner, Nimoy, Andy Carson, other celebrities in fact all Hungarians, declared or not and i was making 25000 a year.

Another episode with the Escort before the accident. I got a cell phone (Motorola, smallest in the world at that time, a flip phone like the size of most flip phones today). I was driving towards Corvallis, because i was curious to see how Michelle, the black woman i was in contact for my project was looking like (insurance eligibility through mainframe - PC connection for a hospital in Corvallis, working remotely that was too hard for my programming level which however i finished before leaving). It was not long before the shooting in Springfield and i stopped to eat at Subway http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/fourteen-years-later-looking-back-at-a-school-shooting/ where it thought i saw a couple of teenagers talking loud and drawing attention in the restaurant.

On my way there not long after leaving Portland there was a portion of I5 that had big grooves in it from being eroded from traffic. That day for some reason i could not figure i was extremely sleepy and at a certain time the phone ring (it was Angela's break at Sentrol i guess) and she called me from a payphone and i woke up in a different landscape. I must have fallen asleep but the car was kept on the road because of the grooves.

Michele was looking ok, she was almost as tall as me and she told me from the start about her two kids. Can't really remember her face.

So in May 1998 i bought the truck. Right from the start, two problems. It had an exhaust leak under hood that made a noise like a little flying bird i could not figure what it was and also pulling severely right, something i had not fixed until 2005.

I went back to the dealer and different mechanics and one of them created a new problem, a coolant leak by loosening the coolant temperature sensor and telling me something else (thermostat housing and heater pipe) and the leak was not big enough to worry etc.. Strangely enough the reservoir was never getting empty. I replaced the thermostat housing with the heater pipe 3 times before i gave up not knowing the leak was actually at the temperature sensor.

http://georgesblogforfriends.blogspot.com/2012/09/computer-age-auto-service.html

In October or November that year i quit at Quadramed (the software engineer job) because after lunch i had so big stomach pains i could not do anything. My next job was at AVX between August 99 and August 2010 working with probably Axl Rose, Don Henley, Victor Orban and others.

Job was swing shift and i was coming after midnight home, Angela was not sleeping more than several hours at night, etc..

I was commuting about 30 miles i guess and truck was using about 15 gallons for 400 miles on freeway and 23 mpg in town.

In 2004 i went for three months to Romania. When i came back the truck was totally different. Exhaust pipe and catalytic was heating the floor (and transmission). Fuel consumption went about 15% higher. So i tried to do the things i could. I replaced first spark plug wires, than spark plugs, put back the original, replaced coolant and put green one not knowing it was more toxic (that in shop at Macavei, the guy who looked like Leo Iorga, the Romanian rock singer from Compact), i replaced the ignition coils. Replaced the fuel filter myself in the parking lot and made a big smell.

Can't remember when first clutch failed. Maybe 2006 or 2007. I went to Macavei in Oregon City and he replaced the master cylinder. That day i got so sick in his shop i thought i was going to die. Waited for hours in a parking lot for a towing cause i could not drive anymore. The engine was stinking due to coolant being spilled on or oil leaking from the gasket cover.

However the next day all the brake fluid from the clutch leaked on the parking lot again. It was not the master but the slave cylinder that needed to be replaced and i think it was the first job i done at Steve (I went once before 2004 in there when it was a guy who Steve said it was his father, Chang, who passed away in the mean time, to replace the heating hose on Angela's car cause i kept adding coolant and finally figured it was a hidden hole that looked like a screwdriver hole in the heating hose while Angela was sicker and sicker. By that time Steve's English was much worse than now).

Don't know how many times i went to Steve to complain about the exhaust leak and bad mileage. He said the same as Macavei, not to worry and especially not to spend more money since gas was cheaper than repairs.

It was after the clutch failed too more times and the catalytic 3 times i started to try to figure out why. The same problems i could not figure after i returned from Romania in 2005. A bad fuel pressure regulator. An intermittent signal from computer to fuel pump relay. Leaking coolant sensor. Numerous vacuum leaks. Oxygen sensors. The extra fuel was burning in the exhaust and catalytic also heating the transmission that boiled and some 1/3 of the transmission oil was missing, also Juan, the only mechanic at Steve pulled shavings of metal from transmission with a magnet.

http://georgesblogforfriends.blogspot.com/2012/07/fuel-pump-relay.html

In total for both vehicles i spent maybe 3 times the amount of money one would normally spend for car maintenance.

On @ September 1st my truck stopped in the middle of the road because i stalled the engine (it happens to me every once in a while). But i could not restart it. Maybe because i forgot to put fuel in it. Mileage on the trip odometer was 400 miles and the total capacity of the tank is 17 gallons. It is possible the fuel pump being old it failed while overheating because of trying to start it for so long.

I towed the truck back home and i though i saw the driver's face in the news the next day. He looked like English football player Wayne Rooney. In the same evening i saw one more guy in the news, an American football player who looked like the second towing driver, i forgot his name.

I tried to crank it more and wouldn't start. I looked in the fuse box and saw the fuse for the fuel pump was burnt and replaced it and it burnt again. Then i looked at the trip odometer and gauge an finally realized i had no fuel. I walked to a gas station nearby and bough 2 gallons of gas and added and after it sputtered a few times it burned the fuse again.

The truck is at Steve's shop, Lucky Autobody and they cannot figure what happened. Last time this afternoon they told me they have to replace the ignition module with the coils (the ones i replaced myself in 2005) before they can test the fuel pump and that was the drop that filled the glass. I don't believe fuel pump cannot be tested directly with simply applying voltage with a fuse somewhere on the circuit.

Also i read on forums that if you run out of fuel the pump needs to be primed before being able to use it. However i remember i ran out of fuel once in Lake Oswego and i called a towing truck and they added some gas and it started and did not burn fuses.

Today i talked to several shops around and i found a mechanic who agreed to test the fuel pump before anything else. Had to explain him the fuel pump relay signal is hard wired to the ignition switch (not module, semantic coincidence).

Also i found the email address of a guy at Carr Chevrolet in Beaverton who agreed to bring the truck there, pending finding a time in their schedule. Have not decided yet where to go.

How big of coincidence could be this. Stalling, running out of fuel, breaking the fuel pump and ignition module in the same time?

October 7

1:53 Just remembered something. When i walked over 2 miles to pick the car that i rented at Enterprise rent a car location, so i can have something to drive Angela at work while my truck is in the shop for alternator, possibly radiator, at @3:30 yesterday, i was on the right side of Tualatin Sherwood heading for the green light button and when i was exactly at the corner a big empty trailer took a right turn from Tualatin Sherwood to Teton kinda fast and his rear wheels briefly climbed, about one foot on the sidewalk, feet away from me, but now i know the lesson, i only walk on the outer side of the sidewalk. Until i brought camera app on my phone it was gone. Noise disturbances? A guy whith a big base in the trunk just drove by.

2:20 A modified exhaust.

2:52 Ran into a face that could again have been the cop last night.

3:20 Wouldn't have find her if i didn't look at this guy first... Tomorrow i will try a match, i'm too tired, got to wake up in two hours to drive Angela to work...

6:16 Slept two hours, coming back from Eaton. They switched back to 8 hours, 6 to 2:30, so there was some traffic. Almost got into 2 accidents with the rented car, (a 2019 Kia Forte with 40 k and water in the headlights), of course, when alone in the car, with no witness. Coming out of the back alley at Eaton on Avery, a big SUV or truck came from my right @ the curve real fast so i didn't see it at first, a car coming from opposite direction, still kinda far, so i just didn't go into the lane, staying in the middle of the road, both could have pass, however, they both stopped, while i got honked by the vehicle coming from the opposite. Further away, they were some cones on the right white band, a jogger dressed in dark clothes choose to pass those on my lane while i was kinda blinded by cars coming from the opposite so i just stopped and let him pass.

11:58 The Noongars (by expression of recessive genes - if i believed in DNA theory).

3:21 Coming from Eaton. I remember i once went for one day trip in Turkey, probably in 92 and for the first time i saw trucks carrying anything were covered. Probably the same in Europe. However this fashion never made it in the US. Though the trucks have covers, they never use it. Dust from all kinda materials, notably gravel, flies for the people in vehicles behind to breath (picture was taken during a stop). Though the trucks do have a cover, which in this case is rolled on top of the truck, they never use it.
As i got closer to home, at the hospital one guy in a black Prius came onto the road, simulating cutting in my way, made me brake real hard but he stopped in the middle lane. The whole thing was a weird recreation of what happened this morning when i left Eaton. They always do that, at the earliest opportunity.

Differences like night and day, the man in the truck coming from right this morning was speeding, i was not, this morning he came around a curve with no visibility for me, they were 3 cars involved, here i was in a line with many cars going real slow, here there was a middle lane, there it was not.

I call these type of "doubling" events "ingannare" which in Latin and Italian means deception and in Romanian mocking and i believe the word comes from "Noongars", an ancient people from Australia which probably were the ancestor of Huns (Hungarians) who invaded the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD though they "spared" Rome itself (saving it for later, which is around 1000 when they started to infiltrate the Catholic Church) and lived to this day in the area where Hungary is, their main occupation being exploiting the rich gold mines of Transylvania and infiltrating the whole world by replacing leaders, elite. Mongols, another wave, a branch of the last original migration wave that first wondered in Asia, coming late? Magyars, the last of them? Ninja of Japan?

By mocking a certain event they introduce confusion about it. It is one of their most powerful tools, which can effectively destroy information about the first event and create confusion to any casual observer.

4:44 This guy eludes me. Also because in the lists of their actors there are many of the same generation who look much alike, or like (half) brothers. A breeding program? After many searches during the last years got 6 of them who look close but he is none of them. They must have been real careful when choosing the guy, given the importance of the function, especially now during the "pandemic".

5:56 "No bigger than a golf ball", the guy at Enterprise said. Just discovered another barely visible dent about that size under driver's door handle, there are a couple more on the other side, done by grocery carts, opening door next to something. Caught them both on phone camera, at the site. Water in the left headlight, and some sort of film on the windshield that is visible only in sunset when it blinds you. At Fred Meyer, a brand new card wouldn't work with the chip, done it three times than striped it, at the Liquor store they tried the chip like 10 times, in the end it worked. They gave me the estimate for the truck, pending radiator arrival from Amazon which now had changed schedule from 6 to 7-12 of October. Which means i'm going to drive the rental through the weekend and next week or until radiator arrives. Though i'm soaked into car's deodorant, it smells like dog poo, i went outside, bumped into the lady with yellow coat. Got to go back to finish searching.

Also. Have you ever been ashamed of using things that you don't know how they work? Do you know variable valve timing is? How about VW TSI. Or GDI, used by many manufacturers. Do you know what timing is? Do you know what a crankshaft or even a piston is? A strut or even a ball bearing?

I am ashamed of having to use all these technologies bought by dealers from Japan or Germany. Mostly because i don't know how they work and i will never be able to contribute to designing or perfecting those.

Whipping Pillars of George Brown's Ferry Park

There are some horrors that  happened in the US the rest of the world won't believe. Americans don't know or only care for their Nintendo boxes. One of them is whipping at the pillar. Believe it or not they had whipping businesses. Plantations owners who didn't have the time or didn't want to bother emotionally would send the slaves for a nine and thirty. 39 times whipped on their back meant they could not sleep on their back or at all for weeks. Some of them had their backs like pine barks sort of like my duodenum at an X-ray in Romania in 2004. Breaking a slave had its advantages. It was cheaper then killing him because of cost of replacement and it would probably have made a good example for others.

But did that become history. Hardly. Every time i go in the park i get to see some of these. First one shows something like palm prints on it.

On second picture here also taken today in the park, water striders suggesting one hugging the pillar next to statues of ducks from Oregon Ducks which are green. Observation board on the right with holes suggest restraining boards with holes for head and hands also used for whipping (no one ever uses it cause the street is like 30 ft away and a car passes every minute).

Here the location of the pillar on google maps.

Today they switched to different methods. Noting i won't bow to them (coming from ex-communist Romania missing notion and habit) they applied to me (and still do) the current breaking-in technics. Some of them involved walking on top of you inducing and inducing sleep deprivation. The don't come themselves, and similarly to how slave owners sent the slaves to be whipped at specialized firms, they force others to do it with provided sophisticated cover ups.

And this. Bragging with suggestive whipping pillars in the park!

Literally throwing s... at you. Pumping smoke dope in the building and blaming it on you. Endless noisy repairs (sample from today) carefully synchronized (here, every year, several months after nothing being done in decades, like roof, asphalt, now siding) and reminders in the park. Endless framing and casting doubts and suspicion. Prying into private life every minute, 24/7. Nevermind the costs, they give an example for others. Picture taken on March 21 this year. Many others followed.

Unnecessary surgeries. Bogus medical care with actors instead of doctors. No Police or other law enforcement.

Nothing changed. Or it became sophisticated and harder to prove. And they get reinforcements from over the ocean. Or speculators or influencers or helpers that push them to go further with it or simply exploit a historic habit. Here a portable toilet installed by Sage Construction this weekend.

Francesco i Jesus. They were these Latinos with a green truck who had a gardening business called Francesco i Jesus. For one and a half years until i spoke with them (and recorded the call) they started their broken exhaust truck every day @8 AM for 15-20 minutes until they were driving me crazy. Dust was falling from roofs. The garages had a one inch thick dust buns on about 1/3 of the surface until i dusted them. There was a break period of several month then another one year and a half the same with the Purple Dodge but this one was random several times a day with more minutes.

And yes the US prospered over the rest of the world, prompted me to come here. First at the expense of slave labor and almost infinite resources. But they payed the price. Who knows how many millions in endless Asian wars. Nowadays everything still functions on Asian power. Anybody can figure why?

After 22 years in Oregon i finally went to see Mary Hill museum. When returning from a longer trip. Only to see this.

Shortly after i moved to Lake Oswego in February 2019 saw some counting cables across the streets. After i saw the news the chief of Police died the day before his retirement.

Countless cars passing on the street in next five years. Normally a very little circulated backstreet on top of Mount Sylvania, they were coming like one every 30 seconds. As a result the building was continually shook and asfphalt dust from roof, other goodies falling inside. My guess is it was t he COS protesting because the freeway built in their gold base. My guess is this song and others in that time were done after this story.

December 3rd

7:26 S-ar părea că am comis o mare gafă, am generalizat fără să mă informez mai mult, extrapolând ce știam de anul 2015 când în Germania conform acestui site erau 230000 de aplicanți.

În jurul acelui an Austria a lăsat să intre direct din Slovenia în Schengen până la un milion de imigranți și acum ne acuză pe noi?

De ce ce spune Austria că are 100.000 de mii de aplicanți acum? De ce spune că sistemul nu funcționează acum?

Acest site este sponsorizat de mari agenții europene ca RFI, Deutsche Welle, etc..

A fost această întâlnire de pe 16 noiembrie o făcătură pentru a demonstra că "sistemul nu funcționează"?

Poate un singur ministru dintr-o țară cu 9 milioane de locuitori (Austria) din care 25% sunt imigranți și ai cărui grup de 19 europarlamentari au votat cu o majoritate de 85% intrarea României în Schengen să țină în șah o întreagă Uniune cu o populație de 447 milioane de locuitori sub pretextul fals că "sistemul nu funcționează"? Asta ar însemna că ceva nu funcționează în Uniunea Europeană.

8:25 A și chestia de la 2:11 de ieri. S-ar putea ca toată piesa de teatru să aibă ca substrat legătura subliminală între Viena și vena.

9:15 I don't  have the guts to listen to my heart with the stethoscope right now. Not after what just happened. Shortly after i finished above i got dressed, and ate something in the sounds of continuous, low squeaking from upstairs. My stomach was hurting from the garlic i put last night in  those green beans. I left about 20 minutes ago (timestamp) for a walk. Beautiful but cold sunny day. Was kinda sleepy and saw a black cat crossing my way twice, and then this black Chevy truck, maybe Silverado, i never seen before, across the alley with LPN NAZGUL. From near the truck a woman came in front, athletic but not very tall, nice body in black yoga pants turned her back in the middle of the alley and started to bend over.

I knew from experience that when that happens it follows an episode of shortness of breath, maybe due to abdominal transit blocage, raising of the diaphragm muscle, etc.. and i associate it with some sort of ancient aboriginal witchcraft. I did not want to see that and turned around. A few seconds later she went behind that truck and i passed. As usual people started to come from buildings, forming what i call the traditional departure Mexican wave.

At the next building from the first entrance from my direction a dog, grayish, huge, maybe a cross between a lab and a hound came charging at high speed. No identifiable person with the dog. He ran towards me and i was preparing in my mind to par what seemed to be a possible attack. In the last fraction of a second the dob veered slightly and crossed my way one meter in front of me and went to the other building, again no person commanding the dog.

However my blood pressure involuntarily raised to the maximum my heart can pump and within 30 seconds i started to have upper back pain and feel like i had no weight at all. A red low car with black patches and loud exhaust passed me twice, surrounding me with exhaust smoke. Persons never seen before, like usually coming out of every building getting in my way as i pass, including a skinhead that got to breathe the exhaust from the red car as well.

I kept walking and that pain persisted for about 5 minutes, it was like my vertebrae were pushed aside from each other to make room for the heart to beat, but by the time i got in the hospital parking lot (my usual route towards Borland street) i got better and wanted to call Angela to tell her the story. But i realized i didn't have the monitor and i know my phone is putting 1000 mW or more for the first minutes after starting it up and did not know how long to wait so i returned.

At the street, i saw that woman in her truck coming out of the complex and revving vigorously with all the power of the 5 liter engine and when she passed in front of me i saw her from sideways and she had the naga skull, with long deformed head and prominent mandibula.

I think i was wrong, the back pain is still here. Hurts like an infected tooth. I'm going back to my walk.

10:54 I came back early on a suspicion i made another mistake because i didn't count the vote of the abstainers but i didn't. The Austrian euro parliamentary group voted indeed on October 18 for Romania to be accepted in Schengen with a majority of 85%, 15% against, none abstaining.

11:32 According to this site the smoke index at the nearest station is 27, the perceived one during my walk was 70. "Hotspot" situation changed a bit in Northern Oregon, not in Southern.

I remember the commercials where the news stations were all bragging about having helicopters, why don't they finally try to do something useful for the community and send those (at least to the close ones) to show us "footage" from those hotspots? Ironically the site linked above (situation) shows radiant energy reported by the satellites for the hotspots (can read it by clicking on the tiny red dots) is in the same order of magnitude with the radiant energy put together over the Portland area by the TV and radio stations, for nothing patronizing, bullying and disseminating elaborate and sophisticated snake propaganda under the form of invented events with places names, peoples names chosen for symbolism.

4:33 Nefuncționarea spațiului Schengen s-a terminat în 2016 și datorită închiderii acestor două puncte de trecere. Alte puncte de trecere au fost închise în 2015.

However there is a problem left, just enough to say the system is not functioning. Hungary's current Constitution voted in 2011 or 4 years after Hungary became Schengen member is still in contradiction with EU rules regarding processing migrants and probably will be for a longtime. By contrast, Romania had to change its Constitution in 2003 in order to be accepted in EU in 2007 (without Schengen though) and there is an article in it that says the EU laws prevail over national laws.

However Hungary only risks fines, while Romania is kept out. And right now Hungary is the only EU country having a common border with Romania. Shall Romania have to wait until they change their Constitution?

5:23 The person upstairs got tired after a full day. From time to time only he/she/it gives a feeble squeak. During the incidents with the motorcycle (now long gone) last summer i had a chance to talk to. He/she/it said: No heating during winter. Cold showers only.

From what i hear above. No phone calls. Not much buying groceries and/or cooking and eating. The car is still unmoved after the first squeaks yesterday or about 24 hours ago and a 3 weeks absence.

5:40 Articole scrise la timp. România, în top, chiar când se poartă discuții despre Schengen (Dacă ar fi să mai credem ce spun EI). Acest grafic îl urmărește parțial pe cel de mai sus. Se mai miră cineva că am uitat, uităm mereu (și repetăm la infinit) tot ce ni se întâmplă?

A Walk to the Liquor Store

When i saw AQI index dropped to 20 and i was late with the coconut oil and got all stung by dust and out of brandy, i realized that i could make it for the missed walk today. So i didn't think much, got dressed and went outside. First thing i saw again was the sliding doors they removed yesterday from Apt.3. Leaned against a tree. All moldy and dusty and stingy. I was familiar with the pile of garbage between the buildings across since last night. But when i walked farther, i saw more piles of dust between buildings that i saw before and ignored, some more than a months old.

Then the trick while i was walking towards the street. a blond woman, the same as yesterday was waiting at the entrance of a building. When i reached a certain point, she started to cross, right in front of me, crossed my path just a few ft away and went to her car. Exactly as she did yesterday (at a totally different hour). I turned around to look at the number of the spot to memorize it to write here but two Asian women in a small gray Japanese car that came behind me stopped next to her and invited me to cross. I didn't want to cross, i just wanted to walk back and note the spot number. She came around the car, smiling at me. It was 54. Looks almost like they were protecting her.

At the street, or Meridian parking lot, i saw the skyjack with a bin in its jaws next to the containers and i figured. Those containers are for garbage, while the other ones on the second entrance are for materials. But why they didn't pick all the garbage from between buildings?


I tried to embed this map in my blog but they were changing the route.

Didn't want to take the truck cause i was risking not to find a spot on visitors' (BTW i know get a ticket every week for parking in a visitor, usually on Monday).

How many times i had to cross the street to walk 1.4 miles away to the Liquor store? I bet most locals have no idea what it means. To be a pedestrian for such a long distance. Wasn't that bad cause i'm used to the distance and the sky was gorgeous, looking like California sky, if not for the occasional smoker (vehicle that is) and growler. Accelerating the 8 liter diesel with modified exhaust to catch the next green, making me turn my head.

There are two things i still don't master in the art of being a pedestrian in Portland area and generally in the US. One is the countdown. There is no green light for pedestrians, but the "oh so much better" white and red countdown. You press the button and wait until it turns white and starts to countdown. But you can't look in other directions like looking for crazy drivers or merely the scenery while you cross. You have to keep your eyes on the display with the countdown. Cause when it turns from white countdown to red countdown, than it means what? That you are in more danger of being ran over by (crazy) people with tall SUVs who can't see near because they are too high, who have green and turn, crossing the crosswalk? Legally, you are still protected by the crosswalk even if they have green. The other is the buttons themselves. Some are touch only, some are push, and they can have arrows in different directions. So you have to watch those each time before you push or touch cause if you don't you can press the wrong one and you'll have to waste like ten minutes until you learn how they work.

7:39 Later this afternoon i discovered another new pile at the end of the alley or building D. I grabbed the phone to take a picture, but right next to it was sitting on the curb and smoking, the veteran himself. So i did not dared. Then i forgot, the evening came and i forgot. But i have other pictures. The pile in the bin next to our door. The bin is still here, would have been the garbage too if i didn't empty it in a Saturday about 10 days ago, after sitting there for days. Same goes with the windows leaning against the garage, that were still there when i took the picture with the motorcycle, a few days later.

November 27

1:15 Just came from outside. Stupid Windows changed the time i took the picture (that came out blurry, not posting quality i'm used to) to last accessed time so i don't know when i went, maybe 11:30. To pick the rotting leaves.

After the wind shifted from that direction, when we got back tonight the smell in here was unbearable even with ozone generator at a higher setting for hours. After two days ago i picked the ones in the back, i thought i was happily done but today i had to tackle the ones in front. First i grabbed the ones around the hydrant where it stinks like used oil from the leaky Chrysler. I now believe it was meant to cover all the other smells including rotting leaves.

Then i tried next to it and the more i went towards the end of the building the more i picked. They were dried at the surface but wet and stinky under. Stinkier than in the back i thing because wind is blowing more from that direction. I lost count of how many laundry baskets but again i think more than twenty. So i went and picked and picked for almost two hours.

BTW the laundry basket is way stinkier now than after i picked those in the back. Though i washed it. It smells like a swamp.

When i thought i was finally done i glimpsed some more under the laundry vents. So i went there with the basket and when i grabbed a pile with my right hand to push them into the basket (they were 2 ft tall there) what did i touch. The rat bait box. Right under the vent.

And it was warm to the touch. Somebody's been drying laundry all the time i was outside but i went first in other areas and did not inhaled much except at the end.

Being heated by the vapor every time they were doing laundry and most likely releasing bait vapor that i was breathing. And it's been like that for at least six months. God knows if they were refreshing the bait or not but i saw the guys with the green pickup (forgot the name) several different times, last time recently maybe a month ago.

No it's been more than 6 months ago. It's been more than one year ago cause i remember when they first installed them i picked like 6 rats from the back rotting in the hot summer Sun. Nevermind it was in  September. Not long after i complained about seeing rats entering under the other building.

Wondering. But i think i now i know what possessed me i did not recognize the problem with the vents washing those boxes. I was under the influence of smoke coming from mole holes.

The were literally gassing us here since September 2022. Mostly me cause i stay here all the time. Maybe the reasons my hands are nowadays shaky and have palpitations.

The reason the woman at 4 was staying in the balcony talking on the phone for hours, probably while and after drying laundry.

2:09 Wandering. If an inhaled toxin that went into your bloodstream passes through intestinal wall into the intestine. Cause if so, taking activated charcoal could be helpful, by removing the toxin at intestines' level thus attracting more from the blood stream through osmosis/reverse osmosis whatever. BTW could this work for kidney failure? It all depends if activated charcoal can absorb urea or uric acid and of course if those pass the intestinal wall inside the intestine. Yes it can!

2:35 I think it works a little. Feeling better after half hour i took 2400 mg (two 1200 mg capsules) of those. Was  thinking the give Angela some but she fell back asleep until i grabbed one and some water. BTW when i opened bedrooms' window was smelling badly like mold from before and even after i picked the leaves cause the ground is wet and full of it.

Air in the living is much cleaner because of the ozone and the activated carbon filter so i let the door open and can hear her snoring lightly. Don't know what to do, she is supposed to wake up at 4:30 to go to work. What if i wake her and then she cannot fall back asleep? But i was outside and exposed a lot to the "laundry" vapor and inside there is the carbon filter i just replaced the elements and bedroom is less exposed to that stuff being on the other side of the building.

Yeah i'm much better 45 minutes after i took those. I gave her one then she fell back asleep. But i figured something else. The capsules i bought on  Amazon are not created equal. I mean some of them have twice the amount inside than others. Which indicates cheating.

Never saw capsules of something half full except for all charcoal i ever bought. Walmart charcoal capsules are half full but they are 300 something mg. Grocery Outlet capsules are 600 (if i did not switch them in my mind) but have the same degree of fulness (when gently squeezed with two fingers). Of these, only a few are full, most are more than half empty. And the charcoal does not seem so black.

BTW i bought from Amazon spark plugs for Elantra. OEM bla bla. 66 bucks for 4 seemed a good deal. They are packed in the same type of cardboard all Hyundai parts are and have the Hyunda/Kia logos in the ceramic part and cardboard box. However they have so many irregularities in shape and color i'm thinking or returning them.

3:25 Ok the pink discoloration seem to come from the laser welding of iridium tips. Cause it does look like laser welding. However the hook electrode is not aligned with the center one. And i'm afraid to bend it cause i may break the welding. But isn't that iridium layer shorting it? Could there be some are selling parts scrapped by Hyundai?

3:33 Yeah very interesting. They are not squeaking upstairs when/after she dries laundry.

4:57 Ok i woke up this morning after about 5 hours of sleep, really groggy. Though i haven't been drinking much last night and none last two days. They have not come back upstairs until 2 PM. I would think this is what it took for the stuff to clear the walls. But when they came they came with a vengeance.

I say they but i think there's really only one person. Haven't hear so much squeaking or stomping in a long time. While i was trying to figure the exact location of the incident Saturday night. Here's what i did.

I figured the event must have taken place @11:13 since the clock showed 11:11 but the clock was 2-3 minutes slow. I separated data from the gpx file downloaded from the GPS between 11:09 and 11:16 and loaded it into a spreadsheet. Since i was driving North South and had latitudes for every second, i plotted a chart with differences between two adjacent latitudes which gave me the speed in degrees of latitude per second.

There are several spikes in the graph but i think the first is the one. It looks like i slowed down a bit, (never under 70 as i remember), probably because of denser fog or a hill. I know i was on cruise control most of the time, close to 75. Then something made me accelerate, and shutting the cruise control before i slowed down. Then i saw it in the mirror, started to accelerate, at one time i hesitated when Angela started to yell at me not seeing what i was seeing in the mirror, then accelerated again until break out.

And then the other business with the tan car in my blind spot matching speed that exited at first exit after changing mind, twice.

It all happened between Grand Mound and Centralia at 11:09 + 180 seconds that is 11:12 or 36 minutes into the trip. First some event made me shut the cruise control and also accelerate. I think the loss of speed prior to that was due to a sudden increase in elevation without cruse control.

I think the moment was chosen because of a downslope that helped the big vehicle with only one headlight accelerate. The graph shows a period of 7 minutes.

Upstairs. After they squeezed everything they could from the space between mirror and ceiling, they left.

6:15 Last night at Spirit Mountain. I was at one of the entrances (the one closest to the highway) drinking a can of soda i brought from the car and started to talk to a short blond guy dressed funny (something i haven't done in long time). While i was talking to him the woman from Apt.4, though with blue eyes came from inside and stood next to him like they were together, and was staring at me, looking worried and she didn't say a word and they left one minute later.

7:25 About an our ago maybe later i heard a noise like a trailer hitting a bump. I was not worried cause they do it all the time here. But about half hour ago i started to here a noise like a towing truck was picking a car and after i wrote the entry above i said i better look and see. And what did i see. A guy with a truck backed up "not seeing" a smaller Dodge SUV was already parked in that spot.

It pushed the SUV into a pillar of the stairwell of the building and dislodged the stairs. Now the persons at the second floor there are being rescued by firefighters. Could this have anything to do with people gathering two days ago in the evening and watching in that direction. Maybe there was a fight within a couple. The woman with the Dodge is an Asian and i think the guy with the truck looks Latino.

7:40 Just opened the door again and saw a fat woman very excited hugging a firefighter.

8:00 Firefighters left, a towing truck came, two Police SUVs are on the scene, the truck that pushed the Dodge SUV is gone, the Dodge SUV itself is still riding the curb but slid one spot to the left (in the first picture) while was trying to get over the curve by its own power. People that supposedly came out of that building i haven't seen before, like the woman who was hugging the firefighter.

Inside the smell is almost unbearable. After i removed the leaves, the really bad stuff that was under is now stinking even after one (short, late November) sunny day with UV and stuff. I can barely breath after i had the ozone on for the whole day. Upstairs is like a continuous never ending waltz.

10:15 Ok. The soot coming from those Diesel engines calmed the stench from the ground that was under the rotting wet leaves for a month or more.

10:36 Realitatea paralelă. Apropo Dumitru Dragomir și el a încercat la rândul lui să dea cu SUV-ul peste mine (eram în truck parcă) la intersecția de la 7-11 din colț. Prin octombrie 2019, poate.

10:50 Just figured. The Nestle decaf instant coffee i bought last time at WinCo may contain an unusual amount of roasted grain like barley maybe.


11:08 Jurnalism pe cale de apariție. În sfârșit o deplasare a președintelui anunțată în media înainte de a se întâmpla.

Voiam și eu ca tot omul să citesc ceva funny înainte de a mă culca și peste ce dau în Cațavencii. (Da mi-am amintit fiindcă fraza cu jurnalismul le aparține). Cerneala simpatică. Gazul de sub casa scării. Așa-mi trebuie dacă le fur idei (meseria nu se învață, se fură, așa îmi spunea taică-meu întotdeauna).

Apropo conduceam, sâmbătă seara pe I5 spre nord și când am trecut podul acela înalt peste Columbia cu 4 benzi pe sens ce văd în punctul cel mai înalt. Un dulăpior îngust dar înalt care avusese sticlă (sau cristal) de jur împrejur care sticlă acum era spartă și împrăștiată pe porțiunea îngustă de lângă banda din stânga.

Dar de ce în picioare? Ca să se vadă mai bine? Kristallnacht? După multe faze nereușite, erau să ne căsăpească la venire, faza de mai sus.

Ruby Wednesday

They simply know how to pick their timing. Last Sunday i started to fill out (on line, it is possible now) a small claim in the Washington County Court regarding the real reason for failure and recalls of the Hyundai. My car did not fall under recall of course because for some reason they didn't have engine seizures for this type. That third party web site where i was filing, right after i was done that is describing the issues, they asked me to electronically sign and testify under penalty of perjury that did my best efforts to recover my loss (from the plaintiff). So i sent without much hope an email to Hyundai Motor America with a copy of that description and they of course asked me first to talk on the phone, they picked a moment when i was driving, got the message when i got home and also an email basically saying the vehicle is out of warranty which is obvious.

Ever since i started the claim, they scheduled (AI, endless parade) Kia Souls to drive in front of me besides SUBARUs of which i complained about the name. Sub are you, that is subhuman. And the logo. One big star at the NW (New White Shinto) and 5 little ones scattered in the rest of it.

BTW today i was passing under the light signals on Marti-nazzi St in Tualatin and all of a sudden i had a revelation. (The shape of the poles and horizontal bars with the signs intrigued me from the beggining where i came to US cause though very efficient they require much engineering to stay in place over the years, being a very "unnatural" type of design). But to me the shape with the name Martinazzi on it now figures both a half gate and also a hanging pole.
So i got home and instead writing this blog post which (will, when i'm done) contain very important informations abut my activities and others' regarding my last matches.

So i took an advice today and tried to go to Tryon instead of Refuge. I recon the hills provide more opportunities for exercising, i already had some sun to grow a bit levels of Vitamin D for this summer (your body accumulate that and stores it for months to come). However, got into trouble right after i arrived and Boones Ferry entrance. Forgot to say, when i left, i went in the back, took the picture with the sign, i knew i had my truck in the back, no reason to turn at the door and then i remembered i didn't look for new canine gifts around door, turned around only to see the woman with the red hair, of the same height and physical constitution with the Latina from F3 with the chair yesterday getting in her car to leave. Another avatar of Szabolcs i said to myself and went back to get my truck and go to the park. Forgot many details like LPNs and logos on the freeway, i forgot to take Boones Ferry, that would have given me some delay since all that area in Lake Oswego is under construction (lots of areas under construction around here lately). At the entrance in the refuge i pulled the bottle of water i  had with me, wasn't fitting in any pocket and i just drank some and put the rest back in the car. That delay was enough for the guy with curly red hair and bear and a dog (a gray terrier i think) to come by on foot up the street. He looked at me, sort of embarrassed like, a couple of times, while i was plainly staring at him. Cause he was again Szabolcs. He passed my car and stopped at the entrance of the trail showing his back and had a chance to take a good look at his constitution. That is thinking what chances i had if i gotten into a fight with him. Though athletic, back and hands were more like women's with strong torso and legs. And when i looked at the legs, i saw under shorts hairs that were grayish but not red. I thought to myself, if he can fight then his strength must be in his kicks and some unknown ninja tricks. I was thinking later. The man allowed his body to grow like this over the years for the sole purpose of looking like a woman, for easier disguise, his specialty. Cause here in the complex he's already got at least 4 women's avatars. (S..., they came with the blowers and i forgot to water the dust around building).

Ok so i just got back at the wheel, turned around, and drove to where he came from only to see a road closure and a detour sign. I looked at the bridge they were re-building and said to myself. Can't be more than half mile detour (BTW why don't they write how many miles the detour is, it would be very easy to calculate now with google maps and everything). So i followed the signs, drove about 3 miles and got at the intersection of Terwilliger and Boones, coming from west this time of course.

Should have been distracted by something and instead of following Terwilliger where i was driving on i took a right again on Boones and went down the road until i met of course with the other road block. Then i wanted to take a picture of the road block, pulled my phone, took a picture through the dirty windshield (BTW got to wash t his truck sometime) and when i wanted to open the window to take a clearer picture i realized there was this brick red SUV behind me. I thought he was waiting for me to make an U-turn so he can do his, gave up on taking that picture and started to turn only to see him in my peripheral vision that he started to make a left turn on the street perpendicular to Boones and was on collision course. He didn't make more than 3 ft when i saw him and of course i stopped and he stopped in that very instant and we were kinda face to face through windows and window was down like mine and had a change to take a good look at him and i'm 90% sure it was our Joe Biden. Red tanned, looking better than in the pictures (like i heard about Obama) he never lost his nerve, he said hi and smiled, but next to him i saw an old lady that went so frustrated by the fact it didn't work and she looked exactly like Barbra Bush. But couldn't have been cause she's dead, right? How about the actress who did her?

Of course my phone was on the seat next to me, these cameras work quite good in good light when you want to take a picture like for your memories, but are slow to start in situations like these, it didn't even cross my mind in that second. All i got is time and location from the picture with the road block.

So he was just staying there when i turned around and turned right on Terwilliger. I went at the Terwilliger entrance of the park, but most except a few spots next to curb were taken. I saw at least 4-5 cars with many kids getting out, all kinda slow motion with adults giving me strange looks. So i just left and drove back on Terwilliger. On the overpass waiting at the light signal for Barbour (99). I was maybe the 7th car in the row, the guys coming from opposite direction where giving me all kinda theatrical looks, like scared, worried, it turned green but first guy wouldn't move until somebody from behind me honked. It finally did but i'm pretty sure the guy in front of me and i passed on red. But the guy in front of me was again a brick red SUV and slowed unexpectedly while i was staring at the red light but stopped in time not to hit him.

Other that that. Got to pass again through 2 red/speed camera intersections on 99, i was careful to memorize how i did it and got at the refuge.

As i was parking a guy in a black t-shirt and his wife, both looking angry came and got in the SUV in front of me and left. As he climbed at the wheel i had a chance to see the back of this black T-shirt that was covered on his length by a thin white rectangle with something written in the middle, a bible quote starting with God is my Lord, whith huge letters. It reminded me of the bible studies in Ron Boger's house back in 97, of Ron Boger his wife Mary and i started to get mad and... i forgot my phone on the seat of the truck.

Entered the refuge and i saw the bush with blue flowers had the flowers more open then ever ans sun was behind a cloud and bush was bright and everything and wanted to take a picture but realized my phone is in the truck, and went back and picked it (3 minutes walk).


Then on the trail i met with a woman that first i though was Meryl Streep but when she said an aggressive hi and smiled at me i realized she was younger.

I continued walking and after a mile or so i heard a military jet. Haven't heard one of those since i posted a match with a colonel here at the base. Then i've been thinking. They could have messed with my phone while i walked 3 minutes on the trail without it etc..

December 16

7:53 Living with the ninja, in ninjaland. As i said, they blew dust yesterday. Though i wiped clean the deck, the sill, area above door, dust was still present inside this morning. Unlike yesterday, not much smoke. At 1 AM i plugged with soil mixed with cement two more "mole holes" before i went to sleep. My esophagus was hurting so i took some tea, coconut oil. As i was nauseated (from using the car yesterday, still stinks a bit like rotting bone meal, dog pooh), went for a breath of fresh air, around 6:30.  Also to pick the clamps from the locker. Working again at a catch can, this time won't take that long because i accumulated some expertise. Many "people" (read ninja) around here freshly started their cars in the alley, so i took the upper alley, where a guy was working at a car and started his didgeridoo right after i passed, waking up everybody who was not. I crossed the street, climbed the stairs at the hospital. Many cars coming at that hour. I walked a bit and came back, took the clamps from the locker. Inside i realized the clamps are not good. I just reordered the old ones but i forgot they came then by mistake two sizes smaller, however it was that mistake that allowed those to work. So i looked to return those and get a different size, however delivery date was now changed from next day to one month from now. The guy upstairs started to squeak  on my brain waves so i washed the towel i used last night and put it back wet on top of the filter, while washer would cover the noise of my thoughts. Ate half of ripe avocado to lube my irritated esophagus, made some broccoli (steam boiled with a bit of water on bottom of the ceramic pot for 5 minutes), eat with a bit of chicken and garlic, while eating i opened the door and there was this guy with a green truck in front of building D hitting the truck with something, making a big noise. That noise and irritation at my esophagus from dust, nausea, triggered a dysphagia episode. Felt like i was so full i could never eat again, though still hungry. I siped some tea, painfully, the food went down after about 10 attempts. Had the courage to finish eating.

Any other type of clamps failed. But i remember now, even these wouldn't work (hose would start to leak) unless i added a bit of JB Weld steel reinforced adhesive on the screw to prevent it from unscrewing "by itself". Maybe i should go back to regular clamps and use adhesive from the start.

January 27

8:22 Thanks God it's over. During every anniversary or holiday in Romania and US i have problems. Like last year on August 21. On Christmas, 6 this year etc..

Woke up in the sound of a phone conversation and then loud TV upstairs. It's the first time in years i hear someone talking on the phone, while i didn't hear the TV since European football cup last year.

Then the unusually loud squeaks, then i try to record and after my first upload he left, like he does lately. Probably leaving a trail of dust from the stairs.

11:04 Today i went and replace the motor mounts. Noticeable difference but not dramatic change. BTW i had some problems with a stuck bracket on passenger side which was... glued to the engine with something, maybe threadlocker from assembly (thought all bolts at the mounts where kinda loose from vibration) and had to use a flat screwdriver to pry on that. When i came back, i went to pick Angela and my truck from the parking lot where she works and went back at the ramp of 72 because i thought i heard something falling from engine compartment. Instead, i found an ordinary house key. Then i went for the mail, there was no mail, Angela already picked it some 15 minutes before. She said she didn't notice the whole Q locker was pried open. I thought to myself. Must have been the mail woman, she didn't close it right. Later i thought: Maybe i should have call the Police, but i was already at Spirit Mountain. But why me? I was not the only one who saw it. Now i think. They're down to their last tricks.

I wanted to go to Spirit Mountain, mostly to test drive the car. I think underinflated tires contribute more to instability at high speed than other things because it was driving worse when we came back and temperature was 10 degrees and pressure 1-2 psi lower. Very few people, hungry machines, not a single chance, though i managed to catch 2 times 4 deuces, once at 30 cents a hand, and immediately after, another one at 60, winning total of 60 dollars, we still lost the whole 100 we planned to lose. Was a nice relaxation though. Gotta order a digital pump from Amazon, for adjustments only. With the locker. Now i started to think, maybe they are targeting me. Anybody, even those who are not from the complex can come and to do that to the mail locker. Like they stole my wheel and catalytic at my truck. BTW, had to park the truck overnight at Meridian, could not find any place at 4 when we came back, me from that garage, Angela from work (camera is shifting to green in low light, BTW, just remembered, got some updates for my phone).
