October 10
10:06 Big hammering noise outside.
12:57 I left fb on September 8, with the exception of one more post on October 4. Ever since, the stock has fallen 14%.
9:33 I saw a car that i wanted at an auction tomorrow, but don't have time to go through verifications for an account until bid time. Went to a broker and paid 1200 deposit to bid for me tomorrow. Cane back home, i saw the piece of paper (probably a notice for not paying rent after September 5 or grace period) that was attached to the upstairs door a few days ago is now on the ground, blown by the wind and wetted by rain. The car is in his spot. At WinCo Angela was near the right door of the car when a guy backed up from next spot kinda fast and turned the wheel to the right too early (should have turned the wheel the other way anyways, because of one way lane). I think he stopped because i yelled, would have hit Angela in the back with the left fender. Angela was not aware and didn't even believe me and started to argue with me like any time when i avoid an accident because she didn't realize what happened in real time. Then i realized i was also sort of high, absent minded, thinking at the conversation with the broker, though i slept in the afternoon. The smoke at the apartment or maybe from the freeway from driving to the east side with all the crazies around me, and the crazies with old trucks in front of me, maybe 40 miles round trip. When i got home i took a few sips of V8 juice that is freshly opened though cold from the fridge, my belly started to ache a bit i think from the laptop yesterday.

October 9
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?
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.

October 8
3:40 This fake news is an allusion to me trying to buy a wrecked car at the auctions? A professional photographer with a professional camera happened to be nearby. Deja vu. (Seinfeld, a show about nothing, was actually about most everything). This guy looks like George Costanza to you?
6:17 Finally fell asleep around 4:30 when Angela awoke and started TV. She woke me up at 5:10 and we left around 5:40. There was this weird smoke outside, i checked with AQI site, it shows 80 but it's not wildfire or even a fire (need to check on sites). At Avery and Teton i stopped at the sign, from Teton came this gigantic semi with a one ft wide shiny flat chrome bumper dragging two more trailers and stopped two or three seconds after i did. As i started, he started too (kinda fast, he must have been empty) and i had no choice but accelerate and pull left to get out of his way and he missed me by one ft or two, while Angela was watching Craigslist on her phone and didn't see a thing. After i told her, we started to argue, she always blames it on me after avoiding accidents and didn't look after that thing to see LPN or logo or something. When i came back though i noticed something i haven't before at the car. When i push the gas pedal while moving, it takes about 3 seconds until it accelerates and when i release it, it accelerates one more second (drive by wire electronic computer controlled throttle), couldn't stop when i saw the truck moving until i was in its way.
My radiator arrived in Tualatin at 4 AM, still not out for delivery, it looks like i'm going to drive this car through Monday.

October 7
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.

October 6
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.
