Now That's What i call a Speed Trap!

Turned around on Tualatin Sherwood to take a picture, lucky enough to catch a car passing by at 99 in the great city of Sherwood that has many cameras for through traffic of course, surrounded by perennial construction zones, money makers for the successful Rob_in_hood mayor of city of Sherwood, now sitting on many waters. Just passed through a puddle of water that was just around the corner (two great masonic obsessions) that was unsignaled though there are cameras for speeding and red light in the intersection. Got home, air filter is dry, catalytic still works, no check engine lights. An answer to what i wrote, but not sure if about flooding the moles or the post with Udă-rea or my car sitting in October at the shop three weeks in a puddle of water, with pounds of dog food in the cabin air system and then mold in the AC circuits, rusted brake rotors, etc.. All of the above? One thing is sure. The masons make the law, they are the law and of course above it.

Construction zone starts just before the intersection, when coming from west, but if you turn right, on top of cameras, right after the corner there is a barely visible sign (never saw it, Angela reminds me all the time) that says 25, before the puddle of course. Where were all the Police SUVs (equipped with blinding at night red and blue flashing lights) patrolling at night or hidden within that restriction area with a barely visible sign?

About how legal are those automatic tickets, that are not written/given by cops, i wrote before. Picture taken 11:20 PM Sunday April 11, about half hour after the peak of the rainfall.

April 11

8:16 I'm giving up. Went twice outside, there's still smoke, some coming from around the corner. They put something in the smoke to make it more acceptable, make me sleepy. After 4 hours of sleep last night, i'm going to sleep.

4:38 There is a guy pretending speaking on the phone for hours in the next building G. He stays in the balcony door and yells towards our building, not stopping for answers, basically speaking nonsense. One minute ago "he got mad" and started hitting the wall. Tall, goatee, in his 30s, sometimes he has a cigarette in his hand.

Sunday Morning Mole Run

These are the areas where along the years i've been fighting with the moles. There are about 10+ places next to foundation. Every time i see a bulge i feel smoke inside big time. As soon as i flatten the bulges, the smoke disappears for a couple of hours util the bulges re-emerge. If you asked me, i think it's some sort of combined religious rituals. Moles symbolize Amaterasu while smoke symbolizes the hound of Dominicans (St. Dominic) (who is supposed to set the Earth on fire). Could also be masonic business as i hypothesized mole mounds could be the model for pyramids and other masonic things. So i figured if i could eliminate the moles, there would be no more smoke.

I remember in the first years here kids came to play on the grass area and were yelling like crazy because they were probably getting high on the smoke.

It was one of those days when i went to management and complained about a number of things, including one big truck idling for up to half hour at the time, making a big sound with a broken exhaust and the moles. Truck has stopped but moles remained.

I've been trying to pour in many things including water, hot sauce, chewing gum, gummy worms, other things. The only thing it worked was buzzers, inside galleries, for about 4 months last year or two years ago. Some of the best 4 months of me living here. But as soon as they ran out of batteries they quit working though i tried to replace the batteries. One quit working and the other was not effective after replacing batteries. Then i bought and put solar ones. But they have been taken by passerbies. The i tried to modify the solar ones and added batteries. It worked for a few days or weeks and then the moles came back though i was hearing the sound of buzzers from the ground. I figured the moles adapted.

But in the last few days an idea came to me. I was thinking about borax (an old type laundry detergent which is very toxic to insects including worms that moles eat, ants but not to humans. In fact, it is used in big concentrations as a preservative in some foods, including caviar. But i knew borax in certain concentration may kill the well maintained grass which feeds many worms which worms keep the moles active.

So i poured borax inside the holes next to building, where there is no grass. As soon as i did so the moles did not come back at the same holes. Today i was close to finishing all the holes (and bringing it all to a game over situation) (can't do one until it pops) and i went out with a plastic stick to probe the bulges. But for the first time since i mess with the moles in many years, sometimes hours a day, a guy from maintenance came on his cart, stopped by and went to look at the big mounds in the middle of the grass which i haven't touched.  Then i got really nervous, went inside, and back outside to take the pictures. I saw the guy with the big truck that comes out many times when i open the door. He looked upset or mad and was walking in a weird way, can't tell exactly why i thought so. I climbed down the stairs but miscalculated the last step, while being of course high on smoke and almost fell, i didn't but i strained my already injured back. Though i can't feel much pain right now.

April 10

2:25 There was smoke inside at Ilani tonight though nobody was smoking. I went back to the car only to realize the smoke was coming from outside and into the AC. There was so much i had to take a shower when i got home. Can't sleep with that smoke in my hair.

Then i decided i need to search for one more person that was making headlines in Romania for decades and now resurfaced, because i had it wrong. In that moment the room filled again with smoke. Lately i've been pouring a mild borax solution in some of the holes. Those hole generally stay closed after. Tonight i grabbed my stick and watering can and was agitating it outside the door to dissolve the borax at the bottom when 4 of the kids that grew here (at least one of them) passed running through the alley (after 2 AM).

When i got back inside i realized how much smoke was in fact in here and i'm airing with the door open ever since.

2:51 Some people with a white car were making some rhythmic noises in the alley and now the're gone but the room filled again with smoke. Now some are taking outside.

DIY or DIE

I bought this contraption about 2 weeks ago online for 35 bucks planning to refill my moldy AC with Freon which i did. (When i did it i accidentally released some Freon that was smelling strongly like mold).

After i was done with it i put it in big plastic bag, a cardboard box planning to re-use it in a while to check if the AC in the car kept pressure and in the middle of the living, 2 meters away from where i sleep most nights and spend most times.

I first noticed i started to have mucus discharge in my nose. First i ignored it then i started to believe it was from the mold but yesterday i woke up with tonsils so inflamed and throat so full of mucus i could barely breath or talk or swallow. So i started to take some antibiotics (i always keep a stash for situations like this). At first it seemed to help but towards the evening it flared back. And then i finally figured. It was the bag with the device in the middle of living that was putting a very irritant something in the air. Mole_cules.

Then i reacted. I searched online. PAG46 oil (it was obviously the oil not the refrigerant that evaporated within seconds after i unhooked the thing) is said to be water soluble so i ran some water through hoses and put it in water till morning. However that didn't do it as the irritating smell (now i can recognize it but is not very distinctive) was present in the bathroom. Then i added some dishwasher detergent which is supposed to make oil more water soluble. Something changed at the surface of the water. Smell in the bathroom diminished.

And now conclusions. I don't believe it's the oil (yeah i know technically it's not an oil but an alcohol) but the additive from the brand i bought at O'Reillys also available at Autozone. ICE32. Cause the other one available in stores at Walmart that didn't have the additive was of unknown viscosity (simply PAG oil). Because the oil has been around for a long time and as they say "all AC systems do leak" more or less (otherwise you wouldn't have to refill them, duh!).

It's just another come up that is supposed to enhance the oil "by binding to metal" bla bla. The more unnatural theses things get the nastier. Ironically it has the number 32 in the brand name.

There are lots of people complaining about AC making them sick, and this may be one the reasons it may make them even sicker in the future. The more classical reason is contamination of the in dashboard (impossible to clean) cold radiator (evaporator) and ducts.
