 3:04 Yesterday i found out that the damage done to my car after i bought it at IAA (Insurance  Auto Auction) by manipulation with forklift (there is no other way to bend the drive axle like that) extends to the bearing of the wheel (there is a loud increasing humming noise on the right side of the car when i drive on a good "quiet" road). This morning i decided i should sue in small claims IAA for damaging the car, also for not listing the biohazard on the page of the auction, that was the smell and the rancid dog food i discovered in the HVAC system of the car. So i went and reactivated my account for e-filing with the Oregon Judicial Department (i once wanted to sue Copart for a similar reason). However, to my surprise, i discovered that in Oregon i cannot e-file in small claims for property damage, there are only two limited sub case types on the list. So i got to go the old fashion way, drive 40 miles to Salem to file the claim.

1:57 I was searching for best way to clean battery connectors. I assume you need to use diet coke. Not much weirder than WD40. I would think for very corroded batteries.

6:09 Just heard a loud exhaust, and now i feel smoke smell. 6:17 Went outside and found disturbances in the ground, small volcano like mounds under deck, siding, next to hydrant, all the known places. Stepped on those. Because of the one under siding, smoke makes its way in the walls and when i got back there was perceptable amount of smoke inside. I think the exhaust vibrates the walls and make it come inside much faster. But again i'm not sure it's smoke, could be mold or other smells from mole tunnels. Like the enzyme from venemous mole salyva that makes you dizzy.

4:47 Yesterday afternoon i picked the car, brought it here, picked Angela, we both had 4 hours of sleep, however had to go back to pick the truck. I knew the car was smelling, first i tried the "chlorine shocker" which means a ball of 6% chlorine bleach in the car with doors and windows shut. At first it worked then when i started the fan, smell came back strong. At about 8 PM when we got near the shop where i left the truck, i went to an Autozone to buy air filters both for the engine and the cabin. But when i tried to pull the old cabin filter, surprise. It won't come out. Not easily. So i pulled hard and it unfolded like an accordion's bellows, and about 2 pounds of rancid dog or cat food fell from that compartment. Trouble was some fell onto the fan, the filter was holding them above and now we could not drive because the fan was blocked and it was raining and windshield was foggy. So i guess drived being dead tired with a foggy windshield about one mile to a carwash and was lucky to find a card operated vacuum. But could only remove the bulk of them cause the hose's end was too big for that space. I went to the O'Reilly's accross the street but could not find a piece of 5/8 hose to tape it to that one. The fan was now making a rattling noise, with loose pieces of dry food caught in the rotor. Today i tried with my vacuum and and a thinner extension hose and removed more but there are more left. Unfortunately some passed the fan and got into the heater core and i have no idea how to remove them except to pay hundreds of dollars to a mechanic to do it, so the car will probably stink like that for a long time. But not as much as it did when i got it and Angela says was nauseated by the smell. I bet it's got something to do with the accident. But how those got there? A prank to the previous owner? An underpaid mechanic? Cause it's not easy to stock them on top of the filter unless you raise a bit the intake grill.

I saw many things in my life, but this.

But that's not all. Somehow the stuff being right under the grill did backflow into the engine compartment and every component was covered with a fine layer of it. My first guess was, the owner being from Eugene area, he used the car at a farm and drove it through mud mixed with manure. Last night i was driving on the freeway behind Angela and i could still feel the smell coming from that car.
9:51 Ok so i just stuck the phone through the filter's housing and took a picture of my blower fan.
Found a video on how to remove the blower fan. Tomorrow cause i'm too... tired right now. The man didn't know at first so he removed too many parts. He had mouse droppings and acorns. BTW, can't understand how acorns got in there, the holes in the grill are only a few mm. Ok he said mice were living there. Please note the coincidence with the post below.

Never realized until now that the drive axle i replaced was actually bent.

12:19 The man upstairs came home after a week or so, started a load of laundry at midnight and the TV. Could it be because today i said it was better when he was here, with not so much smell? Now i regret i said it. Also smoke comes in here, smaller amounts that other time, after i did something to tie up the two sliding doors together, preventing them from oscillating.

This reminds me of a woman who lived upstairs, a few years ago and was coming here only to do laundry.

I got two hypothesis for the guy upstairs, lately i found the face of a Japanese guy which resembles his, was searching for the name in my downloads directory, ran into another guy who reminds me of the guy is once saw next door, but some time ago. Nowadays i saw a younger guy.

Ok the smoke that came in starting about 15 minutes ago leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

12:59 I went and checked.  Smoke was coming from two mole galeries systems, one near hydrant, one on the back. They stick in the ground burning pellets based on saltpeter, that burns underground.
