September 7

1:38 Just finished fixing my blog. Figured it after hours of searching on forums, had no idea that a bad (disparraged) div tag could mess the home page of my blog (widget moved to bottom of page), up to 5 posts later. No conspiracy, no nothing.

Thinking how i've been metsubushed (again) tonight.

There use to come real Latino guys at Spirit Mountain. Tonight we ran there for a couple of hours (mpg on the truck was 26, mixed, but still has some bad gas in the tank, again mixed), place was pretty empty, machines were pretty tight and we were pretty tired and all i could see was Japanese Chicaons playing there scenes around us. On cameras, with masks and learned gestures is pretty hard to tell i guess. On my way back, i think it was on this point i saw a sweeping car on the right. Probably taking advantage of the direction of the wind. I saw from a distance it because it was yellow flashing in the night. Though i shut the fan, the dust raised settled on the car and minutes later after we passed through that stinking wooded area (stinks like a dead animal, always a fresh one?) i started the fan again. Throat, esophagus, stomach and now intestinal pain. It's fine silica sharp dust scrapped by the wire brush of the sweeper combined with that bacteria that does it. Face burning.

Question. Why my mpg on the truck when new was 23? Until i first (and unfortunatley last) replaced the fuel filter, i think before year 2000, Cindy was still manager at Sussex, when it went 27 until i went for 3 months in Romania in 2004 and when i got back it went to 20 or something.

2:02 Working from home for the TV presenters, even politicians all around the world means they get to stay most of the time near their studios in Hungary, right? Is Dave Salesky presenting the weather from Portland?

BTW. 土 What did i say about all tennis matches being fixed, like all matches in all sports?

10:53 Un fel de bilanț al lui Drulă. Așa cum ne-am dori, periodic, de la toți miniștrii, sau cel puțin la venire și la plecare, însă cu sume numai derizorii și acelea de "bani europeni" (probabil primim înapoi mai puțin decât cele 10 miliarde de lei anual cu care contribuim la bugetul european, cine să ne spună, Ministrul de Finanțe nu știe care este salariul minim).

Multe din proiecte nu sunt ale lui, nu sunt ale predecesorului lui, ci ale predecesorilor predecesorilor lui, de decenii.

Din bilanțul la mișto lipsește bineînțeles suma cheltuită din bugetul nostru de stat indigen anul acesta, "grosul" "activității" lui, care a fost raportată (scăpată sub formă de procent, 80%) de Cîțu pe primele 6 luni, în valoare de aproximativ 2 miliarde de euro, din cei 6 (30 miliarde de lei) prevăzuți la buget pe tot anul.

Pleacă Drulă în pusta lui, vine înapoi alt ministru, alt guvern, pe următoarele miliarde până la sfârșitul anului, la anul, că și acela este un an cu bugetul lui, cu propria "perioadă de grație" în care nu spun nimic și cu iată, "perioada de demisie" în care spun foarte puțin și scandaluri multe și mărunte între. Nu vi se pare că toate aceste schimbări de guvern la 1 an (sau la un buget) din 90 încoace sunt de fapt trageri de timp perene, organizate minuțios?

11:33 Though should not attach a bracket to an exhaust stud!

I took this picture back in 2007. To show what i thought it was a leak on the thermostat housing. Three mechanics replaced that part (which comes with the long black pipe that goes to the core heater attached to it) three times . I was still messed up after the work accident in 1996 (started to come back a bit a few years ago) but the mechanics knew. The leak is actually at the coolant temperature sensor, also attached to that housing. Fixed it Sunday with a quart of a turn of the sensor. However in the picture you can see a bit of the last stud of the exhaust manifold which is kinda oily and shiny, in the forque of a bracket (wasn't even a hole, but a forque, the nut touching only half of its surface). Also an oil leak from the PCV hole (it is not a valve, but a hole in the cover where a rubber hose goes into and then in the intake box before the throttle (PCV through vacuum throttle i guess). That stud looks like that because there is a bracket (by design) attached to it. Truck has been designed by GM in cooperation with ISUZU.

Torque spec for the nut on that stud is 10 ft lbs and that torque doesn't even closes full contact between the bracket which is kinda irregular sheet metal that comes at a bit of an angle and the manifold. The bracket installed in between the nut and the manifold holds the pipe of the oil gauge which is long and heavy and oscillates and opens and closes intermittently an exhaust leak. The seal of the hood was literally twisted and permanently deformed by the heat. I bought one from the junkyard and installed, but didn't realize the importance of adding some adhesive at the ends. The result is i've been breathing exhaust in that truck for decades.

Yes the Hyundai brought some life in me. Because of many luxury features, look and performance i became interested and figured many things, with my today's partly restored brain and i applied back those things finally fixing the truck, after 23 years.

Yesterday i modified the "design" that is i put the nut directly on the manifold, the bracket with another nut after it. Wheel click on a picture for best view

It still runs!

While taking the last picture, the mail lady who just finished the boxes came @ with her 70s nostalgic van to hand me a delivery. I noticed a heavy knock at the engine, the rusted wheels and exhaust surrounding the whole van (she was also kinda dizzy, couldn't scan my item easily), also looking kinda red in her face.

Among other things, in the mail was a letter from US Bank saying it increased APR from 7 to 14 for a balance transfer that was done just a month ago, based on their own offer. What could have changed in our credit history in one month? We still have a valid offer from US Bank we planned to use. Wondering if that is still valid. I suspect is because of what i just said over the weekend about frugal Warren Buffet.

Which means they also shortcuted the normal postal route. Wouldn't be the first time when i suspect this. On a hunch, searching to see who is their CEO cause i know by now (mathematical induction, everybody i searched so for i found) all US financial institution are controlled remotely by some AI software and accountants from Hungary and Japan, with actors as CEOs. Thing is how many i have them still in my lists until i exhaust those and how many will remain unknown.

BTW David, "son of Warren" was acting, for years as a salesperson at the Liquor Store at Zupan Market in Lake Oswego, and one day "Warren" himself, in shorts, was there when i went to buy liquor.

7:11 I was Lucky enough to find Cecere, CEO of US Bank Corporation. I had a checking account with US Bank since September 1995, loocking forward to close it.

But right now i got bigger problems to worry about. When i bought this truck back in 98 i wasn't paying much attention. Like right now, i had bigger problems to worry. I was going to my job as software engineer at Quadramed, in a building near Safeway in a neighborhood i believe called Ralleigh Hills, without knowing that my manager was Andy Carson, one of my colleagues Jeff Gianolla, possibly Shatner, Nimoy, others. Was trying really hard to catch up with Windows programming (only did DOS in my time in Romania), object oriented, version control, remote programming, all new to me. Though i have finished my first project, for a hospital in Corvallis, my stomach pains which now i believe was caused by exhaust, coolant leak, dust and sciatica, made me quit.

We've been in a roll over with our 89 Escort GT, driven by Angela (yes she was driving stick back then but after 22 years of driving automatic, she forgot), one mile to our destination near Cape Meares at Tillamook Bay. So i bought this truck because i liked trucks since i drove them when i was working at Les Schwab, it was a lease first, the truck had a number of problems, should i have ended the lease and buy another one, among those was pulling right really hard, angles on front wheels were all screwed up, suspension was really stiff but the clutch. It was so stiff, Angela could not depress it. In years it brought me some bad sciatic problems, but i was never so sure until now when i started to drive it again. At the third clutch, Steve put one with more human springs, but somehow these days i find it stiff again. After driving the truck in a number of trips, today i could barely walk, i mean, i can walk if i start but if i turn around, there is this sharp pain in my right hip. But it's not in the hip, if i press it with my hand. It's in the sciatic nerves. Also since 2007 had some sort of paralysis which lead to other kinda of problems. And Angela can't drive it.

7:44 Angela read that paper again. It does not affect promotional offers. However our mistake lead to a good thing, it motivated me to find Cicero.

Talking about Cicero.

September 6

5:50 I slept 6 hours, awoke at 3 a bit confused probably by the dust pushed the fridge that is there since last days when dust came in most likely being caried on the stairs by the shoes of the guy who take shortcuts through chips. Or another smart ninja synched move. A drunk guy was yelling in Spanish in the distance. I put a wet towell behind the fridge, things got better. Then they came to pick the recyclables at 5:20. Unusual, cause they normally come at 7 (last time i can remember).

Besides the annoying noise from the big engine that lasted for about 15 minutes, somebody came with a dog and left a some pee puddles and also probably stuck some burning ninja pellets under the chips, some next to the wall where i am inside, cause the place filled with smoke right after recylclables truck left.

Thought they gave up this smoke thing for a few months, after i installed the mole chasers (buzzers), the batteries went out and/or the buzzers broke and i just reinstalled new ones, and ordered some more but last time it took weeks until the moles disappeared, without moles they can't just come and make holes in the ground i guess, they use moles's holes as cover. I went and tried to step on those, not sure i found them all. Besides other things, they create nose congestion and a bit of high and disorientation.

7:17 The right side panel of my blog disappeared, though i can see it in the layout.

 7:42 I reset the theme to one of the templates (simple blog), can't add any widget. I used a bit of chlorine gel in the room which killed the dog urine smell and then i suddenly felt very sleepy and fell asleep.

12:15 I don't know what happened to my blog, suddenly all my widgets on the right disappeared, they probably were on the bottom, i panicked for being so tired, and reset the whole theme, was too tired to figure why they went on the footer, now i don't have time to fix it. Not that it matters so much.

Before i forget. Please note the expressions Dominus Dios or Dominus Deus, ruler of gods or Lord God, which is supposed to be at the origin of the name for god in Romanian, Dumnezeu, pronounced, yes, doom nay zeoo which sounds so weird for the English speaker. (I personally believe it comes from Sumerian god name Dumuzid, god of shepherds). Latin word dominus which means ruller coincidentally similar with Dominic. In Buddhism, Buddha is considered a teacher of gods and men. St. Dominic is shown partially shaven, with rosary, which is of buddhist and hindu origin, lilies, and "his" cross resembles Chinese radical 32, Earth. All these elements, together with the tilted cross on top of a globe are found on Hungary's coat of arms (1896-1915). Hungary's capital for centuries until the 19 century was Buda.

7:07 Labour day News. Poor People, Frugal Philanthropy, Bit by Bit.

7:39 Earlier i decided to leave the place for the evening, though the cause/reason is not here anymore.

We went to Safeway, Walmart and WinCo. Each has something cheaper and better and fresher than the other. We came back home, some Japanese kids were playing on our stairs. Got inside and started to cook and drink with radio on, 3 Japanese kids started to have a party outside our windows, in our view.

Then,  Angela died her hair, ammonia smell came out, i cooked for about half hour some chicken livers that usually were fresh, this time were frozen. Watched the girl from the one leve building drinking probably juice, with lascivious (trained) gestures. One of the kids threw to the ground. It was then when i decided to leave for the evening, just not to see them anymore. However, when Angela finished dying her hair and we ate, they were gone. The most amazing thing, people in 21st century North America do believe in vampires and cannibals and other people know how to speculate their fears.

Started the radio on 97.1 Charlie FM. Though i know all artists featured are not real, cannot go through my day (or drive) without it.

12:09 When will they ever learn?

12:15 Din păcate, oboseală și lipsă de timp m-am oprit cu postarea mea despre Scientologie la vremea liceului. Nu, nu cred că s-a întâmplat, la fel ca nici unul din acest tip de incidente de când le știu, totul e media, totul e fake, totul e neștiri și contra știri.

12:23 A, ok. Să-l demită, dar să fie constituțional. Constituția, singura lege pe care am votat-o toți. Sau mă rog, majoritatea, așa cum era pe vremea aceea, căci pe vremea asta, a ajuns la 12,5%, conform noii legi a referendumului a lui Băsescu.

7:35 Și azi când mă uit la textul acestei legi rămân blocat. O exprimare ciudată pentru o lege a referendumului. "Opțiunile valabil exprimate" înseamnă voturi, nu? Deci dacă votează 25% din alegători? Asta înseamnă o majoritate de 12,5%?

„(3) Rezultatul referendumului este validat dacă opţiunile valabil exprimate reprezintă cel puţin 25% din cei înscrişi pe listele electorale permanente”.

7:41 I just wrote about historical ninja employing children at least in some occasions, that is to fly kites that by their color could send codes at a distance, in plane sight. (What we know about this guys is just the peak of the tip of the iceberg). Today Microsoft gives us this bizarre no-news.

A 500 kg kite made of bamboo could certainly carry a 50 kg ninja over a besieged castle.

8:02 5 minutes workout from your chair? Why not 30 minutes in bed?

8:36 The continuum. Guy upstairs is here today to stay the TV is on and thundering loud again and the floor is squeaking since before 7.

Edge of space opera continues with a story written "on the fly". Why this surfaced only today?

I just finished writing and he was gone, like he knew. Every day a different schedule?

8:52 Feher la nevoie scrie, subliminal.

9:16 Xenu lovește iar. Faza nașpa e că vin pe bandă rulantă, criza-n-temele astea. Estimp, după cum repet, bugetul dă în foc.

9:24 Moțiomania, salvează România?
5:32 History of the kite.

7:42 This is so weird! Could they train one of these to set enemy's camp on fire?

Was wondering...

9:03 Ordered online, went to pick at Taco Bell, was worried i was 5 minute later, order wasn't ready anyways... The're not used to...

Earlier. 1:10 PM, was really sick. Went and found the remaining of the party of the screaming kids last night. Maybe... Grapes, crackers on a paper plate... Sweet ropes, melting in the sun. Unopened yogurt... All kinda wraps on the red chips. Further around the corner... A few pounds of small apples, like fallen from a tree, some crushed, dried, crushed and dried mandarin oranges. All rotting on the redwood chips for days... Redwood dust somehow blown from its place onto the asphalt, where the cars run... Picked them all, swept the asphalt. Tonight i slept a while, woke up tried and sick again. Went and found half more pound of sweet ropes next to the next building, again on the chips. Sweet rope, i didn't know the name until i googled "soft twisted candy". Could it be a threat?

9:16 Never thought about writing about the threatening youtube commercials. Just restored truck's mileage to better than new by changing gas filter, then adding some Gumout additive in the tank (25 now vs 23 new, expecting even better after running a tank with additive). Yesterday when i refilled at the Shell up the street (Nyberg exit) there was this "black" guy (probably a disguised Japanese) who made compliments to my truck, and i saw him today in the complex on bicycle, he looks a bit like the guy upstairs. Now i see this commercial for some toothpaste, about "restored gums". Could they possibly add some mud in my tank? Maybe at the gas station? I've seen worse.

How many times i have to repeat. I even made a complaint to SEC's whistle blower's page (however, you have to constantly look, they won't send you an email if there is a reward, and i didn't, don't have enough time) about google abusing the videos that are uploaded mostly illegally by adding commercials, some targeted and some, like in this case, even threatening. BTW, kitchen window was open, dust came in, this time no wind no nothing, i hosed the building yesterday, could it be from upstairs.

11:09 It was quiet tonight. Almost recovered from the hangover cause by drinking last night and much amplified by all the food stuff left intentionally "by the kids" on the chips outside. They left me alone because of hangover, then i remembered about the gas station episode yesterday, that black guy looked and acted weird, but when i thought they might have given me bad gas i got really mad, and though it seemed absurd at first, even to me, i start searching in the list with Japanese actors, eyes hurting because of dust, which fortunately went exactly till 1950. Don't know why, at first pass i can't find much especially in situations like this, but at second, after i get familiar somehow with the faces, chances are i can find someone which i did. By the time i wrapping it up (croping and aligning) "he came back upstairs" and started working the floor, however was too late, i was almost done.
