6:15 Last time i went to Jiffy Lube to change oil or first time i ever i did it on this car (after i attempted myself with the pump through the dipstick hole an failed, could only pull half of the oil, because i forgot the engine had to be warmed up to thin the oil) i asked them if they could check the fluid level in my automatic transmission. The guy there told me that i should go to the dealer because the car does not have a dipstick for transmission, "they have a special gauge for it they stick through the fill hole".

Another mechanic told me i should go and ask a mechanic who has "the expensive scanner" cause they can read the level with those.

None of these is true, i found out two days ago that on newer "sealed" transmissions ("newer" is one way to say it, my old Elantra was a 2013 and i was convinced you cannot check ATF level on those) with no dipstick hole there is a hole on the side of the transmission (actually close to front of the car, kinda hard to reach if you don't raise the car) that is at the exact level of transmission fluid when the car is sitting on a flat (level) area like on concrete in a shop, called overfill hole. You clean and remove the plug on that hole like you would with the drain plug and watch what happens. If it flows, barrely, it means the fluid is at the right level. If it doesn't flow, it means you have to add until it flows (barely), etc..

It seems no mechanic i know knows about or is willing to do it and i am just perplexed cause these have been around since at least 2013. I checked videos on youtube and some came with crazy ways to do it. One guy who drained it all (it would not come out all however, because there is some in the torque converter, you have to hook the tranny to a special machine only dealers have) measured it and put back in the same amount, after filing the head of the fill plug until will come out (3 times, after which 90% of the fluid is changed). So today i will attempt to do it myself (again in a shop where i know the owner and he said he would let me do it, it's a 5 minutes job, that to me could be half hour because when i do something i always stop and think of the other things i see around when i looked into an area for the first time). It's even more complicated than that, because at my car the fill hole for the tranny is under some part (flange under shifter lever) that you have to remove first, and if it's low, i will attempt to fill through the same overfill hole with a special funnel i just invented. That is if i can reach to the overflow plug without raising the car. And for some reason i don't understand, i have a gut feeling that i will run into some surprise if i do it.

11:10 Just came back, i didn't even open the plug, just by loosening it i saw fluid coming out, put it back. The gentleman at the shop help me confirm a diagnosis i once had in a transmission shop. Soft transmission mount which i could probably replace myself. Looking for an OEM part(s) online, and i need a full transmission flush, 10 qts, because fluid is kinda brown, consistent with the mileage, which at the dealer cost 210 for the fluid only. OEM Hyundai.

9:40 Dirtiest place in your home. I don't use dishwasher on automatic because the water intake valve is broken. I tried to replace it but it broke again. It is the microswitch that is connected to the floater (left bottom in the image) that got contaminated with slime and flickrs, killing the valve's coil. But while working on it i noticed this smell and looked with a flashlight. The high pressure flexible pipe that brings water to the valve was touching the wall and they were sqft of mold @it, because water and pipe being so cold and wet with condensation. So i just quit using it on automatic, what i do is i add some hot water in it and start two washing cycles and two rinsing. It's time consuming, you have to come 3 times and add water, but is the only option. Sometimes we just do dishes manually.

When i opened it this morning to grab something, i noticed the dishes had a stinky slime on it. I thought they weren't rinsed from last night and started a rinsing cycle, but they wouldn't rinse. Finally i started to make sense of the smell near it and i knew it was time to take it apart and clean the slime from the surfaces invisible. It's not the first time. The first time it was working automatically and i found much more slime, hardened, it took me half day to clean it. When did i do it last time? 6 months ago? I think it needs to be done... i don't know, maybe every month or so. Maybe the surfaces under floater, the holes in the lid, the horizontal area under the grill and even the bottom, where water flows at a very low rate get contaminated after just one use. I just don't know. Maybe i shouldn't use it no more.

Could it be the dishwashers at the restaurants are the same? Could this be the reason Americans subconsciously prefer to eat fast food instead of cooking at home (contaminated ovens are also a big problem, affecting air quality inside), where food is wrapped in paper and never touches any dish? Just being around the thing by trying to clean it, after i ate, i already feel nauseated and my day just started.

8:23/6:23 Google nu poate sau nu vrea să sorteze rezultatele căutărilor. Cu puțină răbdare însă se poate urmări cronologia evenimentelor în legătură cu plata gazului în ruble.

8:36/6:36 În 2021, EU a importat energie din Rusia în valoare de 99 miliarde de euro sau 40% din totalul consumului. Pentru comparație, bugetul Germaniei de exemplu este de 5 ori mai mare. Bugetul Rusiei în 2021 a fost 200 miliarde de dolari, de 22 de ori mai mic decât cel al Statelor Unite.

Tears for Fears. Chestia cu cumpăratul gazelor în ruble pur și simplu nu o înțeleg. Rusia ar câștiga mai mult dacă ar fi plătită în euro. Sau poate doar așa, un moft aiuritor (alienant) al lui Putin? A ok, cred că nu prea are ce face cu euro din cauza sancțiunilor. Dar asta nu va ține la infinit. Războiul se va termina și peste un an toată lumea va uita la fel ca în 2014. Vom uita cu toții sperietura, însă în timpul sperieturii se vor face niște schimbări în mintea noastră care vor rămâne, pentru că ăsta a fost scopul. Un efect similar cu cel produs asupra spectatorilor la show-ul cu Gheorghe Doja sau Horia și Cloșca.

10:41/8:41 Cât costă insulina în SUA.

11:06 I tried to ask google but could not find an answer. Why don't they add mercaptan in your car's AC freon (mercaptan i a very smelly substance they add in car's oil, gasoline, propane, etc., to make a leak obvious).

I believe one of the reason would be, well, it may be confused with something else as listed above. One other reason could be your car would stink all the time, cause AC leaks are probably more common than thought.

1:20 More on how naive is to think Trump could have used a so called "burner phone". Phones never connect just like that to each other, even if they're only ft apart, for obvious reasons (metering for one, though i can't think of a reason they wouldn't allow it, in case of two phones closer than to tower). Though technically possible, the cell phones are intentionally designed in such ways they won't do it except for using one of these apps. But using a phone in a mesh network that is larger than two phones has its drawbacks. The phone could be used sometimes more than for two calls but as a relay (guessed it, like a tower), with more power used and of course more radiation generated right in your pocket.

The way the connection between two phones with paying plans is done is very complicated and easy to intercept by a concerned agency, in many ways, starting with intercepting the radio signals cell phones functioning is based upon (and that can be done by anybody though much harder for now 5G phones), and ending with tapping in any of the numerous switches and servers of the "fixed part" of a mobile network.

1:34 Cross your... fingers.

6:16 Ok bill passed. Thank you.

The story of the water heater. It's been three years "since they haven't seen it". I have seen it every day but to no use. I'm going to try to explain why. Within the last few years, the water heater is leaking but in a smart way. If you take that lid of the distribution enclosure (where outside wires meet the inside ones) there is enough ventilation for the water to evaporate. As soon as you put it back on, the water accumulates and shortens the wires but the water never goes over the lid when the lid is on so it's not visible to a casual observer.But how can i explain it to them? If you tell them there is water in the enclosure, the're going to ask me "how do you know". And the only way to know is if  you take it off.

Can't remember why i didn't call them the first time it happened? Was i high? Was i in a hurry and needed a shower? I just pulled the water with some paper towels, switched the breaker back on and neglected to put back the lid. But later when i did, with the same result so i took it off permanently. At times, i had to tighten those caps back on because they were getting loose? and it stopped working or working intermittently. Should i just called them back then? Anyways. It's been seven years since. And then i forgot, having bigger worries.

Just put the lid back together when the inspection came (BTW it was lost and resurfaced in a place unexpected cause if it didn't i would have probably not put it back and they would have looked and seen). As the water raised, it again shorted the wires (don't know exactly when), the breaker went off (sort of..., not all the way, it looked closed, had to cycle it, hoping it will work). Probably before it did generated detectable amounts of hydrogen combined with oxygen through electrolysis.

The circuit beaker box. The lid is not sealed and so is the box. It communicates through large wire passages with the wall, with all the goodies in there. Years ago i added some silicon around the lid, until my face wasn't stinging anymore. Again, yesterday could not let it like this so i removed all the removable silicon.

Lid was off for about 12 hours and in the evening i remembered why i put silicon around that lid (and it's a deja vu, it happened several times, every time i say to myself, no, i'm crazy, why should i put silicon in there).

Probably wouldn't happen if not for the bumper outside the building (twice the size of all others in the complex though here it's close to corner so they slow down anyways) or other noises and vibrations including  the walk upstairs. Every time the building shakes (and it does when a car passes) the wall "breathes" and pumps outside most likely tiny pieces of paper (from drywall) soaked with sulfur dioxide from the decomposing calcium sulfate "drywall" and/or mineral glass insulation, but that is too heavy to float in the air, except if it gets (grinds, breaks) so fine it does.This morning after finally vacuuming i tried to take a shower and the water was too cold already. So i just went and pulled the lid, sucked the water tightened the caps and went for a walk. But when i came back, the water was still cold so again cut through the silicon from the breaker box, cycled the water heater breaker, but still would not work. Then i checked the 4 screws at the thermostat, the were all lose with one half turn loose. I tightened those, it started, but after i took a shower my face started to sting again, big time. So i remembered and aided again some silicon around the breaker box lid. It's been 2 hours since and the sting in my face subsided.Thing is 25 years old11:19 On February 17 i wrote about some of Angela's numerous troubles at Eaton, complaining about relatives and other types of non work related relations at work. The next day, the girl or boyfriend (transgender couple) from Mexico who did shipping-receiving with an American guy, whom i saw once and thought she was Japanese, got promoted ("people were talking, the Mexican manager from Mexico was the reason", this factory of Eaton is subordinated to a Mexico subsidiary). About two weeks ago the woman who did SMT left (she had notice on file) and Angela asked to do her job. When the American guy who did the hard work of shipping-receiving for one  year heard about the Mexican's promotion, also gave notice, effective yesterday. Angela was not chosen for SMT, but another guy. The hyper woman from Hawaii (working too fast, did lots of mistakes in the past) (i think also a Japanese) who for a longtime said she wanted to "leave the floor" went to shipping-receiving, where there is a lot of physical work (Angela didn't work there since her hernia surgery or 2019) replacing the guy who quit, but she realized she can't do it because she doesn't have much computer skills and today the supervisor, after one week of overtime and stress, asked Angela, to her surprise, at the end of the day is she wanted to do shipping receiving with the Hawaiian woman and Angela refused on grounds of lifting limitation and possible problems with the other woman (she likes to complain while making mistakes) (Angela has a paper from her March 1st appointment with the doctor for 20 lbs, appointment which was scheduled since last year and there are heavy packages coming and leaving there all the time. Angela's job title there is assembler.

October 27

10:17 Skim this. It has been refreshing through motivation, thank you, but when stressed out the society fell back on easy to handle stereotypes as their culture has been built of those. As for me, i don't know anything anymore except i will never try to seduce you fit in. Don't assume i'm even trying just because i've learned to some extent English or i exhibit some human reactions.

As for coffee, i use (decaf) coffee in the morning together with a charcoal cap so i cleanse my guts from bacteria and protozoa that fell from ceiling and came from constantly calculated dog piles outside so i feel less nauseated and can eat something. In fact i just smelled one right now so my daily cycle can begin like in Ground Dog Day.

And BTW i don't believe stereotypes are true generalizations uh huh but a way of manipulating the whole society by making believing so.

BTW do you think concept is a type of generalization? (My head is spinning just trying to read a little about those because of the endless mess of always failing western philosophy and of course of the psychology that derives from it).

BTW i couple of days ago i fell again victim of yet another attempt to fit in. That is trying not to think of every detail of what i'm doing but rather trying to do everything in a hurry based on experiences and learning by mistakes.

Years ago when i was under the heavy influence of smokes from around the building i did an oil change and spilled some oil on a couple of connectors on top of the transmission.

These newer automatic transmissions are head spinners because the control of shifting gears is done by a computer that is hooked to it by some fragile connectors instead of having everything inside like during old times where all the governing was inside. So a simple failure of those connectors would mean your car will severely malfunction.

So i was troubleshooting a rare intermittent malfunction and first thing that came to mind was i should try to clean those inside and out with some WD40 contact solvent i bought a while ago for this purpose which is tricky because you can contaminate them more by bringing dirt from outside the connectors inside.

So i gathered courage and momentum all day two days ago and when time came it started to rain. So i postponed it until rain stopped and went outside and did it with a flashlight in the dark trying not to blind the pilots of the low flying planes that started pouring (they always do that when i go with a flashlight at night outside).

It took me one hour only to unstuck one of those, then one more to clean them while exposed to smoke in smoke and also been breathing lots of that solvent and then when about to finish i got drunk out of frustration. So the next day and even today i was numbed and dumbed by the three influencers combined, much more than usual.

So i spent all day yesterday like oh so many times before trying to remember exactly what i've done at the car and that influenced my whole "moode of thinking" on top of everything (i was quite mad). And BTW i feel smoke coming from outside again 12:15.

So i came to the conclusion i didn't break anything but the problem went away after i added a bit of fluid cause i believe it was under the lower limit which is almost impossible to figure at a transmission without a dipstick.

BTW a few days ago i was driving through Beaver-ton (the city where i lived before, at Sus Sex Village Apts.) and entered the dealership to buy 2 more quarts to attempt the third partial drain and fill, you cannot drain the whole fluid and you do 2 or 3 partial drains (in my case of three quarts every time) to change up to 75% percent, as opposed to going to the dealer and paying 500 dollars and have changed about the same percentage or less (when they flush it by pumping some will still mix with the old one) and then wonder if they didn't break anything else.

So i went in at the same dealer where i bought 2+5=7 quarts a year ago, talked to the parts guy and he was not satisfied with year make and model and went outside and wrote the VIN from the car and then he gave me the two quarts but when i got home i saw it was a different type than the quart i had left from those 7 i bought a year ago (and used 6 for two partial drains).

And had to wait like 15-30 minutes until they brought the fluid "from the other shop cause they were out of it".

So before i did anything i checked and found on a site and the type of fluid which BTW was 32 dollars a quart was not compatible with the other i already poured in. Notice, bottom of the first page here.

12:44 I believe in cognitive therapy which i think is the logical replacement of more "esoteric" Freudian psychoanalysis. Simply remembering and reinterpreting traumatic events in the light of newer acquired friendlier (now stereotyping) experiences (i think it can only work for the lucky ones though).

2:00 Again deleted a whole entry by mistake. These two invoices do not show the last qualifiers (letters) of the type of fluid. Last one has an odd account number, 9999. Though the different part numbers are there. BTW i love Americans because of the freedom you can see in their eyes kind and candid nature even when they are "legitimately" or openly trying to conspire against me, however putting that recognizable fearful "evil" or mad look on their faces.

11:00 When we started to yell at each other i knew there was too much smoke in here. Found three sets of holes releasing unprecedented amounts of smoke, one was just around the corner under their AC, one under a bush and one next to our patio. Smoke subsided suddenly when i covered those. Angela does not believe me when i say smoke is coming from the ground. Now it's coming back but not so much anymore.

11:01. Tonight there was another drawing at Spirit Mountain. I was surprised and in a way, mad by the fact that the car was running much better. Smoother shifting at the transmission, more response to the pedal. But i think it has potential for more. Slightly better mileage going there (430 but when i came back the temperature was 20 degrees less, pressure at the tires 4 psi less and the mileage was like 42 but i had to stop a few times and it dropped to 40.

In my way there i was thinking to add some more fluid but when coming back i decided to do more research.

The method of measuring recommended in the service manual says. With the check plug open, engine on, a steady flow of fluid must come out and if you measure it should be no more than 900 cc every too minutes.

I believe it's ridiculous, if you remove 900 cc just to measure you will be one quart short, right? What if it only drips? That does not count for a steady flow, right? So i figure it you let it flow until you have just a drip and then add like 200 ml or something, right? Which i did but now i'm not sure if i should add some more.

I think it is obvious for everyone, they built it in such a way you cannot do it by yourself, you must go to the dealer and they themselves don't know what to do except hooking a machine to it and let it do the job. So nobody knows how to measure fluid level in a dipstickless transmission period. I mean, you can go to the dealer and pay 180 for a diagnostic and they will tell you to change fluid which can go up to 500 more.

This can't be right. I've done so and then after i added 200 ml the car runs much better. I think this guy has overfilled but since no bubbles are coming out... So maybe i should go under the car one more time to check.

In our way there. At the Safeway at Tualatin Sherwood and 99 (yes i think there is a Starbucks there) there was a vehicle (car or van) upside down on the other side of 99. Kept asking myself how could it have ended like that in an area with 35 speed limit but then Angela told me it probably fell off of a towing truck that was parked further down the road.

One annoyingly noisy motorcycle with a guy with very thin ankles (though around 5' 10") in front of us in the slow moving traffic, for minutes, and then he was gone and i was staring at the "accident" when traffic in front of me stopped suddenly and almost got into the next vehicle and they were like at least 8 Police and Sheriff's cars on the road on an "accident" with no driver involved.

I think they were there to witness to my arrest if i hit that black SUV or van in front of me.

11: 24 No hit, seriously!

December 15

1:11 Every once in a while i see in Romanian media informations of things i never knew. Trying to harness the energetic potential of a mountainous area in Romania while keeping the environmental impact to a minimum, they dug, over a 10  years period, 50 km of tunnels. Other similar works are well known to the public, like the 38 km tunnel under English Channel.

Nowadays they are building new galleries for Bucharest metro using autonomous machines.

All in a country with not so much financial and economical power, like today's and yesterday's Romania.

One could question himself, what if they already have tunnels covering most countries, made of course in secret.

We know that Musk, others are trying for years to build demo versions of a project called "hyperloop". Vehicles that could travel in vacuum tunnels at speeds greater than sound. But that project is not going anywhere fast enough. What if is kept in that stage intentionally, just to delay public's perception about the possibilities of those.

To be continued.

12:47 I just want you for my own...

4:44 I got my first smartphone very late... Call it paranoia, whatever. I know what computers can do. Smartphone are basically computers with towers connections, wi-fi, bluetooth, name it. A touch display, a mic and a speaker. Multi-core, fast processors. Android, which is a breed of Linux as operating system.

Had no choice given by Frontier, the provider at the new address, who was delaying installing a landline by 2 weeks after i moved in 2015. So i rushed to Best Buy and bought a couple of cheap, 4 GB prepaid HTC phones, powered by then Virgin Mobile. For convenience, went with them ever since. 35 dollars a months, unlimited talk and text, up to 6 Gigs of 4G data. Barely any room for any app.

How Virgin Mobile turned in the end to Boost Mobile, and Australian firm, it's a different story you can read it here.

On 5th i forgot to... re-boost (that's how it's called prepaying for the next month). Next day i went to the computer and tried to pay, but the bill was now 38. It was then when i got mad and decided it's time to look for a new provider, with an unlocked phone, after i saw commercials with plans starting at 15 dollars (Mint), others. First, i tried to unlock the phone with Boost, but they wouldn't cause the phone though it had more than 12 continuous months of service, had the service interrupted a few months, the number changed and they kept me asking for the old PIN "to prove" and i could not remember.

I don't need much data, just an occasional browsing for a site when i'm not home. So decided to start using (again) my Google Voice number at home on wi-fi and wait until i get something reasonable.

However, after a few searches, i found a plan again at... Boost, with 100 dollars a year (8.33 a months) and 1 gig of data. So i went back to my own vomit and ordered the plan. I said to myself. I won't have to deal with them for a year, if i succeed. But i didn't.

I don't deal with MEID or ICCID things very often so i'm not used to. Didn't realize they didn't check the MEID of my phone when i signed up, just paid and waited for the SIM card.

SIM card came yesterday with USPS (no tracking number though i asked for) and i put it in the new unlocked MOTO 7 i bought on Amazon for 150 bucks (a 2020 model) and tried to activate it on myAccount i created when i paid. However, after typing in lots of MEID and ICCID digits, a number of times, it would not activate. In the end it was Angela who realized there was a 5G mark on the SIM card. Then i remembered seeing something at Boost Mobile "the largest 5G network". (I hate 5G as i hate wi-fi, smartphones and the fact i have to use them). However, my phone was a 4G (within the last few month Boost kept warning about not supporting 3G anymore and customers should buy 5G instead. What happened to 4G? 4G LTE speeds satisfy my needs and both our phones where 4G capable).

So with money paid, i tried my options. There was nothing on MyAccount except my payment history.Live customer support was closed for the day. There was a chat option, not working on the computer (in the end, it worked on my phone today but it was just a bot). Left it for today. This morning i called their customer support number. First a female voice, trying to get my number. I don't have one. Forwarded to a male voice, which shut my conversation when i said i don't have one. Then i tried my old trick, pressing 0 until i hear a human voice. It worked, at first. A guy named Alex listened to my story, asked again for MEID and ICCID and said "Good news, your phone is compatible" and then, "Bad news, we don't have this SIM card in our system". The SIM card they shipped through USPS and came yesterday, without verifying phone's MEID and without a tracking number. In the end i forcibly gave Alex the order number (first screenshot), he asked for a valid calling number, he said he would "escalate" and that was the last i heard from him, just looked on Google Voice call history, there is no call back from him.

Then i tried to use menu options to try again and activate the phone first with the automated system, then with a person. After giving again the MEID number and ICCID number several times, one willing person told me that i should give up and try to dispute the amount with the bank, which seems to be the only valid option right now. They wouldn't spend as much as paying people to handle returns, let the banks do it. After waiting one week and wasting half day today. Crediting their business with 100 dollars for weeks which seems to be one of the purposes of the scam (fraud).

Today afternoon i went and tried to talk with a guy in a physical Boost store in Beaverton. The man who looked again like a Japanese chicano, "would not understand". First i asked for a SIM card compatible with my phone. 10 bucks. I said, ok, but will it work? Do you have a plan? he asked. I said yes, and he said, what's the number, and i said i don't  have one cause the phone is not activated (like i said when i asked for a SIM card), and we went like that for about half hour and i gave up and left. And at one moment, he grabbed my phone to look for the order number (first screenshot) and after handling my phone for while, he said We don't have anything to do with this.

5:19 It's not what they do, it's the synchronization. Today it was Wednesday and the blowers came and though it was raining for a century now, there are still dry areas under the stairs, and places like that and again they blew dust on the deck and sill of the door. So after i started to feel it in my eyes and throat, I went and wiped the dust, lots of red dust came in the water when i rinsed the rag, and exactly when i was done i heard the "man" upstairs climbing the stairs, coming back from his car, releasing more dust from the stairs. Like he did last time. Like he does when i go to cook something, he comes and squeaks the floor above, me, starts the washer, etc.. Wakes me up the second i fall asleep. Home for 5 days in a row as i can remember.

7:49 Numirea lui Florin Roman, o nouă stângăcie a unui președinte de dreapta. Să fie oare ultima?

Sugerat de cine. Oare în România toți miniștrii buni pleacă devreme iar numai cei care acceptă sugestiile rămân? De aia merg treburile așa?

De ce e bine ca în asemenea funcții să fie oameni impecabili, tocmai de asta, pentru a nu putea fi șantajați. O mică verificare, colegii de partid, înainte de numire?

10:57/8:57 Cineva pe fază? S-a oprit roata.

11:14 De fapt asta vroiam să spun mai devreme și n-am terminat. Mahabharata, poemul epic indian, descrie o serie de evenimente care sugerează un război global pe care mulți le consideră istorice (reale). Cu toate astea, încercările de demitizare și plasare în cronism istoric pe care le-am văzut până acum sunt de o naivitate dezarmantă. Există totuși niște elemente de la care se poate porni într-un studiu serios, făcute praf de niște neprofesioniști în diverse forumuri. Dintre, ele, aș vrea să amintesc.

Vimanele. Unele schițe rămase până la noi sugerează secțiuni prin rachete.  

Avioane de luptă hipersonice. Acest basorelief cu o vimana în mijloc arată un conflict între indo-europeni și o rasă cel mai probabil provenind din Australia, care a fost izolată de restul omenirii timp de zeci de mii de ani, numită în Mahabharata "șerpi".

Astika. Astika a fost un copil care a salvat rasa șerpilor de răzbunarea lui Janamejaya. Sunt opinii că ar fi la originea națiunii aztece din America de Sud.

Rețea globală de tuneluri. Rama a fost răpit și dus printr-un tunel în America de Sud.

Svarga loka. Loka în sanscrită înseamnă ceva similar cu loc în română sau location in engleză. Avalon (ava loka), un loc mitic, ava în sanscrită însemnând departe (away în engleză), un sufix găsit în multe toponime din România. Svarga loka în Mahabharata era un fel de rai, locul în care trăia zeul Indra, și se poate identifica cu Sverige (numele Suediei în suedeză).

Piramidele. Piramidele par a fi construite cam în perioada războiului de la Kurukshetra descris în Mahabharata, purtat cu tehnologii primitive. Piramidele par a fi ansambluri multifuncționale care pot fi și arme bazate pe manipularea ionosferei, a zonelor seismice, construite cu știință foarte avansată dar cu tehnologia epocii de piatră, ceea ce arată construcția lor în urma unui conflict devastator care a distrus tehnologia existentă.

Vârsta oamenilor. Și în Biblie, și în mitologia indiană se spune că oamenii, poate înaintea acelui conflict care a contaminat toată planeta, trăiau până la 1000 de ani.

Azi și de multe ori, m-am întrebat. Dacă a existat acea tehnologie avansată, unde sunt urmele? Cât timp durează până la dezintegrarea completă de exemplu a unui automobil? De ce multe din resursele minerale ale planetei sunt intacte? Poate că populația pământului în acea perioadă nu a fost așa de numeroasă ca acum. Poate că era o civilizație ecologică, bazată pe știință foarte avansată care nu folosea intensiv resursele și nu polua ca cea azi. Poate acea cutie neagră a fost plasată în piramidă după acel mare conflict de către șerpi care erau mai avansați și recuperată de Napoleon în timpul campaniei din Egipt, când piramidele erau în mare parte acoperite de nisip. Poate că rasa șerpilor era de fapt niște alieni (probabil condamnați trimiși în exil) care au venit să exploateze resursele pământului, trimițând de exemplu aurul înapoi pe planeta lor originară, folosind acceleratoare liniare de particule.

Last week i thought i finally fixed my car after i figured a way to measure oil viscosity with a straw. After figuring they put 5W30 and said it was 5W20 (manufacturer's recomandation) on May 2, i went again on May 4 and had another oil change.  The car quieted down until i came back from Lincoln City. I started to suspect somebody put oil additive in my engine but when i came back i checked viscosity again and it was not changed. But on my way i stopped at Grande Ronde and added 6 more gallon of fuel and the noise stopped again. So i figured it could be also something wrong with the fuel. So after watching some videos i tried to pull a gas sample from the car to check if it had extra aclohol which could cause problems with injectors. Could not succeed with a soft rubber tube because of a safety device the newer cars have which prevent from gas spilling during a rollover. However when i started the car the noise stopped. Then i finally figured it was the vacuum applied to the tank by the evaporative control system that was creating enough difference in fuel pressure for car to slighly missfire. Which meant the fuel pressure was marginal which could only happen if the fuel filter was clogged. So i thought it was worth it to try and change the fuel filter which probably was not changed in 55k miles or never on that car. So i watched a video on youtube on how to do that. However it is scary. No car has fuel filter inside the fuel tank. I could not possibly do it myself and i remembered Jiffy Lube declinded to do so also last year. Dealer was the only option.
I believe it was August 1st last year. I went and made an appointement for an oil change at Beaverton Hyundai. After the service person took the VIN number and made the appointement i left the dearleship. On my way out, Stan Miller, Manager of Service Department ran after me and asked me to roll the window down which i did and he told me i was banned for his dealership, for reason of "messing too much with the car". In those days i had a moisture and oil filter on the PCV line. Not the happiest choise, since then i tried many things and ended with a catch can but certainly the car was not in imediate danger of being damaged. He was in his office while the service guy made the appointement with the door open and didn't say anything in front of other people.

Previously he told me that i had my car overfilled with oil at his own service which may have resulted in oil getting in the intake. He also told me that the angle in which the nozzle is held when filling with oil matters as oil could get in the intake. He made me climb into a similar car and made me listen at the same clicking sound or worse then mine telling me "It's a Hyundai!".

I wrote here extensively about the reasons why the oil get in the intake.

Previously i asked him to replace engine head, where the noise came, he first accepted, then i changed my mind and when i asked him again he said he could to it but that would not help and he didn't want to take my money for nothing. The guy reminded me of the Australian country singer Ketih Urban.

At that dealership i had done a battery change right after buying the vehicle, at least one oil change, AC service and was banned at the attempt to do the second oil change after a long trip in southern US. The engine was still overfilled after i chaned oil at Murdoch Hyundai in Salt Lake City in the meantime. Ever since they keep sending me coupons. Today i spoke with several people, including Ale and i believe twice with Annie at their service. They kept asking me to spell my name and never calling me back. My question was if i could use the coupons and come back to do a fuel filter change. In the end i asked Annie to pull me from their mailing list and she said i have to hold for a confirmation and that kinda tipped me. I mean, why do i need a confirmation i was removed from a mail list? I'm sure they will do as they please.

Later i called the corporation where i spoke to Alexis. Never answering straight, never helping with a resolution, contradictory, bullying. I think there is a whole culture of bullying at Hyundai. She wanted to give me a case number but i remembered last time i talked to them they sent me an email after. So i'm waiting for the email.

What i wanted was either a written confirmation that i was banned or acceptance to fix my fuel filter and use the coupons they keep sending me.


Could not find the manual tonight, i found only this quick reference guide with the Maintenance schedule on the back.

How do you inspect a fuel filter? https://www.google.com/search?q=fuel+filter+inspect

How often you replace a fuel filter for a 2013 Elantra (Eternal)? Found this on a forum. Today i talked to three different people, one with an accent and one a Korean. They said you don't have to replace it.

" We changed the filter as my book says to change it at 60,000 km for warranty purposes. I don't have a lot of money and the mechanics here wanted $460.00 to replace the filter"

2014 Elantra sedan, 1.8 liter engine, similar to mine. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/md-2011-2016-elantra-sedan-coupe/637601-fuel-filter-change.html

Had it with Beaverton Hyundai. Just called Gladstone Hyundai (next as distance) and asked for a fuel tank air filter and a fuel filter. They don't have the fuel filter separately but only with pump and it costs over 400 dollars. For the other one i payed 26 and will be there 2-3 business days. Parts guy was new and i heard him talking with another guys trying to figure the parts out. Then he passed me to the cashier who asked the credit card twice and my address and phone number.

Just called Ron Tonkin Hyundai. Finally figured why they don't sell filters. They have a service called "flushing" of the fuel system which is supposed to clean the filter. They said car should also have sensors for fuel tank pressure and fuel pressure, so i should try and read those to see what's happening. Fact is if i take the fuel tank cap off and put it back on the noise (click, or tick) at the engine mostly disappears.

In the mean time i found the manual. It was sitting fallen behind the desk. There is no such thing as "flushing" of the fuel system or replacing the fuel filter. It's still a mistery to me as what's hapeening.

The laws of common sense say that if the gasoline has dirt in it (and all gasoline has some) the filter should catch it and in the process it will saturate with that dirt needing replacment.

There are some contradiction regarding fuel filter replacement in this page. It is not clear what the word "clean" means. Hope it is not a joke since this is the first time when i heard a filter can be cleaned. It is true i go on the patio from time to time and blow my hepa and carbon filters in the opposite direction to air flow to remove some dust and prolong their life. However i don't see how you can revert flow in that filter while in place and if you do so how you don't contaminate your hole fule tank. I will come back tomorrow with a clearer picture (need some day light, flash creates reflection) and Mannix starts right now at 2 AM on the west coast. As far as replacement goes, i cannot find any filter at the dealers without the pump.

Al modern cars built since January 1 1996 have an serial interface with the on-board computer called OBDII. (On board Diagnostic). Provided you have a tool you can interface with the computer, read sensor readings and set parameters. You could also change the whole software. The tools in the past cost thousands of dollars, now you can to it with a bluetooth device and a $2.99 App from Microsoft. Here is the screenshot with the readings of the fuel tank pressure sensor, done outside the purge phase of the evap system.  I had a similar software on the tablet, which i paid 10 dollars for (Torque) but since i reset the tablet last time cannot download it unless if i pay again. (Free version could also read sensors but it doesn't work.) So it's really hard to read that sensor during purge cycle to diagnose the system. Computer is supposed to throw a check engine light if the pressure does not go down enough within that cycle, which involves applying vacuum to the thank. However if you have a clogged fuel tank air filter (which i never knew existed) that is not going to show up. (Together with oh so many malfunctions the computer can't catch and won't turn a check engine light on.)

This car before me has been driven on a road that had pine needles on it and it had a layer of half inch of those on the mud flaps on the rear wheels. That filter is located under one of those flaps on left rear but is exposed to dirt from the road, which puzzles me. I just ordered one of those at ... Gladstone Hyundai and i think if i remove half of the mud flap i can do it here in the parking lot and also take a picture of the location. Is it possible that that filter let dirt contaminate the fuel tank which in turn contaminated the fuel filter that is downstream from the pump and for this car is located inside the tank, an unusual or even unique design so it's very hard to replace as shown in the video above and could not be order separately.

By interfacing with the computer i also figured there is no fuel pressure sensor, which is common for this class of vehicles. Because of that, a "flushing" of the system that is supposed to clean the fuel filter, offered both by dealer and Jiffy lube cannot be measured or quantified. Also the car does not a fuel line port to measure the fuel pressure with the engine on which is unusual for this class of cars and is impossible to evaluate or "inspect" the fuel filter as recommended in the manual seen in the picture above.

Red Light District

I once joked on a forum or don't know where. (This time i won't bring in here a link to document everything that i'm saying. It's so tedious and idea wrecking. Once because while i'm working to retrieve it i loose momentum and second whoever follows it might loose it as well. Maybe i gained enough credit to just write things without cross-referencing with a link everything).

December 1st. The first day after the stickers expire on the Nissan. Got it in November 99, there are 16 years and the car is a 93. November, odd years, time to renew.

So what's the joke. Can't remember, i boil with frustration. Oh. The title.

Red light district is where red light cameras are? Ha ha ha... Beaverton is full of them. There are some... is that Tualatin or Sherwood, the one i just passed today FOUR times?

The envelope was there on Angela's desk and first thing i remembered in the morning was to go to DMV with the old piece of... No i shouldn't be talking like that. Cause recently i just rediscovered what a engineering marvel it is... (That motivated me to find what the problem was with the Chevy from the beginning...) Though with the paint worn-out and painted over and with a spray can every year and a missing motor mount and still a tire vibrating after replacing all the tires, water leaking inside from the rear windshield and oil pouring on the exhaust...

Yes i should have bought a new used car before i started with the repairs this year... First radiator was leaking at the upper joint between the plastic frame and the metal serpentine... Then motor mounts, driveaxles and yes, the distributor, coil, plugs and wires, the full she-bang... 2000 bucks so far...

But right after it started running like in the beginning... 16 years ago when i first got it... With the exception of a noise when hitting bumps...

I had in mind a small adjustment on the TPS sensor... Last time i checked it it was .63 volts... Before that, weeks ago, when i finished with it and got thrilled by the results, almost 30 mpg on the freeway, it was adjusted by ear alone. Then i put it at .5. Then the mileage dropped to 20 and about a week ago i found it at .63. I remembered i read somewhere it should be between .45 and .55. So i put it at .48. But that was not as good as my adjustment by ear cause by the position of the gauge after 60 miles or so it was doing like 22 that was still low.

So this morning i got my meter and set it to .45. And i was feeling the difference in power and i already expect a close to ideal mileage.

Then i drove to DEQ. Straight on Tualatin Sherwood. I was looking for the camera. I saw it. It was green. I passed and kept my eyes on the light. Green. Positive. Noted.

The line at DEQ Sherwood was all the way to the street. Tried vainly to get some wi-fi on my phone just to not get bored in line. Got a HTC 510 that now is 100 bucks at Best Buy but was on sale for 50 when i got it. Not activated. Got a number from Google and i use it only when i got wi-fi, with Google Hangouts.

Got a fair signal from the nearby Walmart. Could use Google Maps but no hangouts. But while taping on the phone time passed quite fast and soon i got at the bay...

From the beginning, trouble. They were taking two cars at a time, each lane, two bays. Got in bay nr.2 at lane nr.1. Had to wait because... They could not do the test for my... year of car at bay 2. Didn't have an analyzer... (only a computer reader). Though at bay 2 lane 2 they had one, as i went later for a... volutary test. Cause i did not believe the results of the first.

Some truck on the bay nr.2 lane 2 was putting out bad smell and noise, covering my car. So i stopped the engine while waiting to pass at bay 1 to see if my car was smelling like that. It wasn't. So i started the engine again as i advanced. Finally got at bay 1 after they finnished with the car in front so they tested it.

It passed but the result were marginal.

Then more trouble inside. Cause i didn't have the insurance policy number (i couldn't remember Angela told me was in the glove compartment of the car). So i paid some 20 bucks only for the test and followed the technician's instruction and went to the DMV next intersection to pay for the rest and get the stickers. But there, after taking a number and coming back to DEQ to look for my small ATT phone with prepaid minutes, that was actually at home, the one i used to make call when i don't have wi-fi, i came back only to find out they could not pull my insurance number either.

So i went home. Again, holding my breath wile passing through the red light camera intersection (105 and Tualatin Sherwood i guess). Green all the way.

At home i finally called Angela and she told me the policy number was maybe in the glove compartment. Grabbed from there it and and tried to find a DMV where i could go without passing through a red light camera. It was on Monroe St, next to where i used to live in Lake Oswego. Only when i got there, a sign on the machine with numbers was saying they take only cash and checks. Hm. Who is using cash and checks these days besides DMV?

Couldn't talk to anybody and took a chance and went back to DMV in Sherwood, the one next to DEQ. And just before the red light camera intersection, Adele started singing [on the radio]. Then again i went through the same mental processes i do every time when i hear that song. And woke myself up on the other side of the red light camera intersection, with some cars in front of me and some after, not knowing what the color of the light was...

They didn't take cards either and then i went to DEQ again. But the only way they could get me stickers where only if i paid the 20 bucks for the test, again.

So i asked them to do a voluntary test again since i was there, planning to go to an ATM, withdraw 100 bucks and go and pay cash at the DMV, (in Oregon on cars made before 96 you can do as many free voluntary tests as you want) just to see if the first one was not manipulated. So they did, but then the printer... broke. And i asked them if there was an analyzer at bay 1 lane 1 and they didn't know what to tell me. And one more thing. Everywhere i go these days i talk to people that obviously are not Americans. I speculated for a long time what they might be but now i think i got the answer.

They told me though the result was slightly better than the first one.

Then the third guy came and since i wasn't going, then they fixed the printer and gave me a printout with some of the result at the limit and some worse then the first test at bay 2 lane 1 though still passing.

Then i came home and started thinking if i ran a red light camera or not the second time when i went to DMV on Tualatin Shwerood Hwy.

Not being able to get the answer i called DMV on the phone. But guess what. My voip Google Hangouts phone was working with big delays, not like usually when it was working similiarly with any 4G phone. Could harldy talk to them. Finally i got to talk to a guy who seem to understand what i'm saying and ask him about the following:

DMV has a "driver improvment program" that is based on the number of tickets including red light camera tickets. If you get 3 tickets within 18 months you're ok but if you get one more, you get a 1 months suspension or something like this.

Basically i was questioning the legality of red light tickets since they are sent in mail (like i got the last one) from some private company in Arizona that owns the cameras without an officer of one of the Police agencies in Oregon ever seeing it. Oregon laws says an officer of law has to have enough reasons to believe you committed an infraction BEFORE issuing a ticket which on red light cameras would be possible only if the cops would actually be somewhere in a room in front of a monitor and seeing the video stream in real time.

But this is not the case. No officer sees those because they are being mailed, as the stamp on the envelope says, directly from A PRIVATE COMPANY in Arizona.

Then i told the guy about defense. When you go in front of a judge and the cops stick a picture of you while passing though an intersection with the only witness (in that picture with your face the light is not even visible, the light is in a separate picture) a camera, you can't possibly defend yourself, since you cannot even remember the event, after one week of driving prior to receiving the letter and start trying frantically to remember how it happened. So how can you go and defend yourself in front of the judge if you cannot even remember what and how it happened?

That would not be the case if an officer actually pulls you over right away, when you have all in your immediate memory.

Or like me right now. I am in the situation of not being able to remember how i passed that intersection, because of Adele and some crazy DJs. Not weeks or days or even hours. I could not remember because i never new. I was just following the traffic, with others following me.

And one more thing. The hefty fines are designed with expenses of having cops on the street in mind. I once stood at an intersection with a red light camera just to see how many make the same mistake i did 2 times within a year or so. That is not fulling stopping before making a turn on red. 90% of the drivers made the same mistake. How much money and who are getting that money from this BUSINESS?

I think when the law was issued they did not have in mind red light cameras. Some inventive lawyers might have found what they think it is a loophole, but probably it would not stand if seriously challenged? By who? People who are tired from work or fixing cars or cleaning or writing blogs and pay just not to have more trouble and time wasted?

So here i went to the liquor store. Cheap brandy, used a card. The lady at the counter said something if my card had a chip cause they have to do it differently. Then i remembered. Liquor stores in Oregon are state owned also. How come they have card reading machines?

October 6

12:15 Just got the nut out of the starter. Somebody in the complex used briefly a power tool. Then a car that says Arcade SECURITY on it with an armed lady driving came and asked me for my id. She was armed and for that reason i called the Police, and now i am expecting them.

12:23 A cop came and he is talking to her, not to me, for 5 minutes now.

12:32 The cop told me i could finish the starter but if there is another noise complaint...

12:54 Now somebody else is making noises... Hitings things...

1:29 Got the two bolts that hold the starter loose, it moves around however it's not sliding off the engine, for some reason. Laying there under the car, there is so much smoke coming from a hole somewhere it makes me sick to the stomach...

2:00 Giving up. There is one more nut on a bracket that i just can't get. Not with all the smoke here. Lost my 10 mm somewhere in the control arm. Gathered my tools and came inside.

It's the pretend game i failed tonight. I know that all people here in the complex are actors. But they can turn it all real to me. So i have to calculate every move so it fits both in reality and their game.

A noise complaint of a real noise. Made by someone in the complex to the hired security firm, not the Police.

In a complex in a building that is intentionally flooded with marijuana and meth and kratom and whatever. I didn't realize we were yelling at each other outside. That was the noise and it was real. I was still yelling at the cops when they came, without realizing.

But far less loud that the cars with modified exhaust that was going around earlier, many others in the past, still within quiet hours. The guy upstairs walking for hours at night and watching soccer and yelling profanities. But for some reason he went quiet in the last month or so.

Then she came in her SUV that is identical to Police SUVs, put a light on me, and asked me for my name, while carrying a gun and dressed like a Police officer.

Sometimes i ask myself why they hire these security firms. It was my understanding so far they patrol in the complex at night. For what. At most they can call the Police if they witness any crime. Cause they don't have the authority to arrest. Then why carry guns?

BTW i just heard a dog barking real loud. Again.

2:21 I think the smoke comes from upstairs also cause there's more inside then out. I remembered the security woman who came tonight looked like an opera singer i saw last night when browsing for others.

2:30 I climbed the stairs, there is persistent smoke coming from the apartment upstairs. The car is in the spot, but there's no moves upstairs. It's happening for several days now, it gives me that bitter taste in my mouth.

3:15 Just figured, there is one more bolt holding a bracket on the other side of the starter. However, i won't go for it at this hour because it will indeed make some noise when the starter will fall on the exhaust or when i pull it from there in that very narrow space.

Keep asking myself, where they got the number for the security firm. I saw them patrolling many times around midnight. Because she said somebody called them complaining of noise. Got this sticker on the fridge, but there is no such number. Also reviewed the lease agreement, again, none.

In the last few days i said a couple of times the world is run by Dominicans and shinobi. But i believe now shinobi are on top.

3:58 Got all the bolts loose, however, the exhaust or a bracket that holds the tranny is in the way. Thank you GM (in colabortion with Isuzu). Contemplating towing.

First time when i checked, the connector between the two nuts on the red copper terminal was loose, also the terminal was rotating inside. I ordered some thin wrenches and today they came and i wanted to tigthen those, very hard to reach, spent hourrs high on smoke outside, however the whole thing came apart. But it was in one piece two days ago. (Because of the heat, being too close to the exhaust, by design. No, it's not missing the heat shield, however the exhaust touches it).

Angela didn't sleep at all, goes to work 10 hours, starting at 5, getting a ride from the only guy who passes by coming from Salem. She always says. How many days she worked like this when we lived at Sussex, Lake Oswego.

Persistent strong marijuana smell that comes in waves both inside and out.

I took the exhaust once, i know how to do it. However, it's got a lead gasket that needs to be replaced.

9:32 Some sort of Niagara flowing through the pipes awoke me and the place slowly filled with smoke.

2:40 A Progressive dispatched towing truck came came to pick my truck exactly when i was bidding on a car at Copart and when i came out i witnessed as the guy was trying to push the truck downhill with his foot on the ground, while it was shifted in 2nd (i do that when i park because of the slope). The man doesn't know manual transmissions? He looked a bit like an Asian actor though.

So far the price for this was 3100, i know, it's a GDI, plan to clean the valves and then install a catch can. It doesn't have rear seat but it's not expensive. But it's a type of sale when the seller can make offers, raise the price within 24 hours.

5:42 Copart is a weird type of auction. On some sales (which are not marked "pure sale"), seller can have an after bid "reserve" like in this case was just revealed to me as 6200, make offers (raise the price waiting for buyer's approval) or even cancel the sell without any offer, like it just happen in my case. Good thing cause i discovered they were missing parts including back seat and rest (watching hundreds of cars, didn't realize the extent of the vandalism) that are dealer only items that would have cost me up to 2000 dollars. Those were removed by the shop during "evaluation" and were lost or damaged or sold by the shop since the car was totalled anyways.

This also happened to my car. During evaluation process, they broke the rear windshield, removed a spark plug wire and when i went to pick it engine sounded weird they also did something at the suspension which scared me so i left it for 1700 dollars more. Progressive gave me a choice to keep and first reimbursed me 4000, but in the end there was no choice cause it wasn't the same car i gave them after the accident. Then i felt lucky to sell the rest of it to them for 1700 more. 200 dollars for being hit and run, they payed me 70% of the current value of the car, for the car being totaled before. Today i just rented a car from Enterprise with 40 k on it. Kia Forte. I wished it ran half as good as my ex which had almost 100k. Hesitates almost dangerously on both braking and accelerating as it did ex-mine right after i bought it from Copart in 2018, before i bled the brakes, cleaned the throttle body and intake, replaced spark plugs, injectors, etc.. To hear the engine, click the "Engine starts video" button below the image in this link.

December 4

6:04 Can't sleep, woke up at 4, went and flatented some mounds, but i smell like camfor from some ointmennt i put on my right knee that hurts from who knows how i moved when i was stoned and worked on car Friday night. Which smell prevents me from sleeping, don't want to take a shower cause i will wake Angela. Also drank like 1.5 liter of water and i'm still thirsty, was dehidrated, i think my body is trying to flush that stuff that was in the air Friday night and alochol i drank last night.

So i just came and did a search because i wanted to post something. It's called air intake grill cowl panel. The panel between windshield and hood that i removed last night from car and washed with a brush, detergent and showerhead. Ever wondered what's under that panel, for a 4 year old car? This is what it is. Mud that after it dries turns into dust and gets into the filter that filter is not a HEPA filter and some will pass into the cabin.
Friday night i just removed one out of the 4 clips (2 broke today when i removed them all Saturday from being britle from being close to exhaust heatshield) and got to the three bolts of the strut on right (left in image), but i saw the dirt. Wiped as much as i could on top of that strut, it was much dirtier. That's what it takes, press with a small Philips on top center of the clips and the two nuts on windshield arms, to remove them. But that is a different story. For that i had to order a tool on Amazon (which BTW came in less that 24 hours), and even with that it was difficult, because only the driver of the windshield arm had splines. The arm itself was just instaled on the driver with conic shape and splines and the splines got indented on the arm. So it became stuck from the start. No chance to remove them without that tool without risking damage. It is true i took the panel (and ordered the tool) just to clean the dirt but now i saw i can get the top nut of the strut, the one i couldn't on the "bench" (kitchen floor that is), before even i remove the strut. Loosen it a bit that is. Cause there is no load on that nut when the vehicle doesn't move when the strut shaft moves up and down, right? Missing part on the air filter hole, most likely another grill that prevents stuff like leaves that pass the panel on the sides (so much for a "tight" design that alows air to get in the to the filter housing. I guess it was removed when they put in the dog food, didn't bother to put it back on). And yes, there is still bad smelling dog food yellow dust all over the engine compartment, after i cleaned with a brush, dry and wet, several times.

1:58 Took a Zyrtec and slept a lot. When i woke up my pain in the knee was so great i could barely move around. Watched a movie which i haven't done in years. Smoke came in, now the pain is gone but i'm afraid to do anything cause if the smoke is kratom, that is a pin killer and by moving could damage the knee even further. Went outside, stepped on mounds.

4:34 I done it. With the monster tool i bought online. That thing is heavy and strong but it did the job. 78 bucks, 450 lbs, though corded. Trouble with smoke again. Alternating cigarette smoke with kratom. I don't feel nothing but a small sore at the knee. Hope i'm going to be able to walk after this. And one trick. When Angela came briefly outside there was this Asian woman with a dog accross the alley who didn't pick and Angela went off, being under smoke influence, without realizing i was working on car too. I think it was all a provocation.
Done it. One of the most anticipated events in the last week. I reviews in my mind over and over how i'll do it.

Installed the strut on the car, camber changed more than 2 degrees, looks like is around specs, did a test drive, don't hear that terrible tire noise anymore. The spring compression screws which i got for 26 on bucks on Amazon work. However, there's a very little window of positioning those at least for these struts. It took me 3 attempts in as many hours to assemble the new strut with the spring but in the end i did it. No surprises with fittment on the car. I was telling Angela. If i went to a dealer here, the only ones who got a strut of similar quality with this one, would have cost me 400 parts and 300 labor for one side or at least 500 at Les Schwab with their own brands and i've done it with 92 from Amazon with Monroe. Could have bought the OEM ones on the same site i got the CV shafts for 280 but what if they crack again being the same as originals. Plus the satisfacation and assurance that i've done it right. Bonus was opening the can of worms that was under the panel (first picture). The one on the right, though cracked, is not that critical because is not so much out of alignment. Got two in the locker today, ordered two by mistake thinking they fit both sides but i don't think i will do it in the next few days or until my knee heals. No i was wrong. Last time when i saw a movie was at the end of the season of Expansy when i binged viewed them all. Needless to say. The next weekend i bumped into that actor, main character, Steven Strait. Did they restart with season VI or something?

Now Let's Get Down To What's Really Wrong

And the caravan it's on its way
I can hear the merry gypsie' play
Mama mama look at Emma Rose
She's a-playin' with the radio
La, la, la, la...

And the caravan is pretty runaway
That mean' everybody's staying overnight
And the barefoot gypsy boy
Round the campfire sing' and play'
And a woman tells us of her ways.
La, la, la, la...

Turn up your radio in a little bit little bit little bit hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Now we can get down to what's really wrong
I long just to hold you in my arms so that I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you

Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher radio
Turn it up, that's enough, so you know it's got soul
La, la, la, la...

Turn up your ra-dio in a little bit little bit little bit hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Now we can get down to what's really wrong really wrong really wrong really wrong really wrong
I long just to hold you in my arms so that I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you

Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher radio

Hacked phone

Hacked internet

Hacked TV

Hacked Flickr

This just happened when i tried to switch the obviously hacked yahoo account associated with flickr with another one. Although it said that, apparently it works. How?

July 6th

1:09 Just realized i'm not safe even if that piece of aluminum is before the filter. Cause the filter has a by-pass valve that is a safety measure, to open when the filter gets clogged with gunk, towards the end of the oil change interval, at cold start or at high rpm. If that opens, the thing could get through. Tomorrow i'll remove the filter to see if it's still there and remove it. If it's not, i'm gonna replace the filter, in case is there. I can't believe how stupid i was, to take the picture and not look at it while the filter was removed.

11:11 I almost could not remove the filter, again. After i did, i didn't find anything in there. There is a chance it's still in the filter, so i'm going to go and buy a new one. In the mean time, i'll take a chance and start the engine one more time for a second to fill the filter, cause in this state it can be replaced easily by anyone.

11:49 The floating van, with JBQ numbers. Floating because it's always parked in a different spot. Apparently, some homeless people. I saw at least one clearly Japanese guy among them (no disguise) could be the guy upstairs, with a goatee. I saw him entering apartment nr.3 i guess. Today just before i took that picture i saw another guy going in the building accross, a different one. So they got friends in apartments here. Trouble is there's always someone in there, behind covered windows, ready to maneuver around. I don't believe they're real homeless people so i just wrote about.

12:50 The saga of buying an new oil filter. I went at the Autozone on Dartmouth St where i got the last one and they're out. Looks like i bought the last one on Sunday? Went on 99, passed through the red light camera, there was this thin tall bored guy looking clearly Hungarian who didn't ask me a thing so i told him part, year and model. I pointed on the display, OEM. It took him like 10 minutes to get it from the shelf, while two of their guys where talking behind the shelves. He came but he opened it on his way and took out the seal "just to check" so i asked him to give me a sealed one (i knew they had two, since Dartmouth and saw on the screen). So he gave me another one with damaged box. I looked at for minutes in the car to see if it's bend and possibly prone to leaking.

Did i say something about diarrhea? They doubled it with a diarrhea dog poop next to hydrant. As i said many times before, these guy are not ever going to stop by themselves but here in Tualatin, Portland or Oregon there's no one left to stop them. It's all simulated and sometime they're even favoring me.

I know it was myself who overtigthened the filter at last change. But they knew and organized the whole show with the fire alarm triggered by kids while i was doing it.

They wouldn't let me change the oil at Sussex (Village Apartments now the princes are going to show up in the news), got used to, after all, the price for an oil change is the same as the price for oil (of higher quality though), so i never did it. It's a whole art of tightening an oil filter. Today i had trouble removing the one i put Sunday. You have to do it by hand i guess, cause it's going to take more torque to remove it than to put it on. It's scary cause you think it's going to leak and stuff, but it will take way more torque to remove it than to put it on.

6:35 Highland Park. 6 dead, 19 wounded. Should have been blood on the street, ambulances, video from surveillance cameras. Has anyone seen any of these?

6:52 Brad Pitt, prosopagnosia. He probably forgot his real snake name too. And Angelina's.

8:13 This van has been transporting sacs of rice for years. I think they were deposited in one of the apartments. Now is full of barrells and stays here with those for days (only two visible in the image due to reflections) and one day i saw on one of those barrells an inscription with red "FLAMABALE LIQUID". I think it belongs to Apt.3 as well. I think the owner looks like this guy

8:27 They're all snakes.
