April 25

8:00 During my recent attempt to refill the AC system of my car and BTW, the fact they are selling cans with refrigerant and oil and primitive manifold systems does not mean most DIY-ers can do it properly, i discovered there was mold inside the refrigerant circuit. Again, not in the ducts but inside the circuit itself. As all AC systems leak to some degree, that mold may be a continuous contamination source and the mysterious reason many people say they are sickened by ACs.

The only reasonable way to refill your AC (if it hasn't run to low on refrigerant and oil and there is no damage to it) is to connect it to a machine at a dealer, where most oil and refrigerant and some say the moisture from the drier/receiver can be removed under vacuum, and then proper amounts can be added but there remains the question if the machine has been hooked previously to a contaminated system. And/or of course there is the recommendation of replacement of the desiccant bag inside the receiver, but that, depending on the type and model of your car may require lots of labor and expertise. But then again, if your AC works with lower amounts of refrigerant and/or oil as it leaks, and the pressure switch quits turning the compressor at very low refrigerant levels, well beyond optimal, it may not be so critical as how much refrigerant the DIY-er will pour in, as long as the pressure does not increase too much.

BTW what bothers me a lot is the absence of a check engine light when the amount of refrigerant and its pressure in the AC system has become too low for the pressure switch to start the compressor and the fact that oils and/or refrigerants do not have an anti-fungal additive.

There is a lot of trouble with the ACs also because the compressor is installed on the same belt with water pump and alternator and you have to maintain the AC, so it works, otherwise the compressor may get damaged and seize and cause lots of more damage, but most importantly, loss of steering while driving because all late cars have electric power steering.

1:36 I never knew Trump's attorney's name is... Alina... Hubba.

What is the fine art(ila) of clowns. I'm trying to redo the match with Trump but can't find one single decent ID type picture of him. That is, him without putting a face.

2:03 Drove last night the 100 miles from Warm Springs to here, with 10 percent less mpg than last time. That was because it was early and they were lots of cars on the road, many pushing from behind and then slowing after passing and i had to accelerate uphill to pass them again. Never been bothered so much by the incoming lights like last night. Less then half of the cars had lights that did not bother me. Though i had polarized glasses. Many having aftermarket bulbs that were on low beam 5 times stronger than stock on high. Some on one light only though on high. Many simply not turning on low at encounters. Some with aftermarket, after being flashed, turning the real high beam only to completely blind me. But it happened only in the most dangerous curves.

But that don't bother me nearly half of what the guy upstairs does to me these days. Staying in here for days with short exceptions, yelling like crazy from time to time obscenities in Spanish or Portuguese, scarying me and Angela. Squeaking and releasing dust that aggravates my whatever rhinitis, otitis tonsillitis i have. Within minutes after a squeak, i have the chills/hot flashes. Yesterday, Sunday, a guy came across the alley and did a carpet, hammering for hours, shaking dust out of buildings and releasing dirt/dust/mold out of that carpet that flared up my infection that was clearing. Red dust on 26 across Mount Hood. A van with LPN BRG going in front of me and touching the shoulder all the time, releasing extra dust, etc..

Today i picked 8 doggy piles, numerous pieces of garbage and treated a number of mole holes with Borax  which took me about one hour. On my last trip i met with a 14 years old emancipated Hungarian Gypsy girl reminding or Anca Parghel when she was that age who when she passed me she was calling her dog... Come! Come! like women do so oftenly when i pass them in the park etc.. Exactly when i was thinking about posting a video like this the guy upstairs did a prolong series of yells, like the loudest a human can do

3:53 Evan Williams bourbon on sale at the liquor store in Tualatin is different from the one i bought at Walmart and at American Market in Grand Ronde. Probably the reason it's on sale, much smokier, harder to drink, different batch, i figure.

8:27 And we both got slightly sicker by drinking it. Like when going to the beach and walking through smoke. I gave up buying whiskey long time ago, for the same reason. Too much smoke aroma in it. But about a week ago i was at a Walmart in Woodland Washington, and that by mistake, by missing an exit, should have went to Safeway. But there they did not have brandy or rum and since vodka is out of fashion (don't buy it anyways) i just got a bottle of cheap wiskey. To my surprise, it was drinkable. Then i bought another bottle again at the Market in Grande Ronde which was ok, again.

So, very confidently, today i bought the 1.7 liter bottle that was on sale. However, the same thing. Too much smoke. So i went back at the store, got there 5 minutes before 8, closing time. But when i passed over I5 on the Tualatin Sherwood i saw something really weird. A cloud formation in the sunset (is the sunset already at 8, due to hour change) that was reflecting the Sun in such a way it was looking like they were two Suns in the sky. Slightly tired, slightly sick and slightly absent i was too lazy to grab the phone and take the picture while driving, it requires lots of effort, from the only window where it was visible until i took a left on Martinazi. So i lost it for you. But i thought. I wrote about George Lucas yesterday.

Tatooine, the lawless planet with two Suns. Tualatin.

Then i remembered another thing. Years ago, i think i was in Lake Oswego, i went to the refuge (Tualatin River in  Sherwood) with my old Sony DSLR and saw again the weirdest thing in the sunset. A cloud formation that was looking like the roof of an ancient temple, could it had been masonic, with the Sun right at the tip of the angle. It lasted of course no more than a few minutes. But i didn't want to take the picture, because it pissed me off. Don't want to participate in popularizing freaky things. Same with the "wheel in the sky", a cloud formation that was like a perfectly round hole in the clouds around Sun again in Lake Oswego. Or the formation of Christmas trees or masonic signs like ships flying slowly, silently, in the park in September 1995, that i could have followed on the street to get closer for a picture. I was, like today, like paralyzed. But the genie. The genie that showed on my 49th (7x7) birthday in Lake Oswego, that one i still have on flickr. I am writing all these for those affected by drought in California, other states. There are things, levels above us, that may control weather and stuff. Some we may figure, but some, like the masonic temple, or the genie, we may not.

April 24

12:24/9:24 Emanuel, God is with you.

1:26/10:26 Ariane Lapin

I congratulate those who didn't vote. À bon entendeur,...

10:28


SEMPER FI. In 🔱est we trust.



11:27 In Communist Romania we at school were sitting in benches for two. My benchmate after IV grade at some time was most likely second from right in the first row in this picture, who might later have become the actor we all know as Tom Cruise. Though he was one of the few i din't know where he lived or how his parents looked like. The one in the upper row, middle, with white collar, like me, is probably George Lucas. Of others, Mircea Baniciu third from left upper, the AHA girl, 8 from right lower, i spoke about before. Teacher could have been Claudia Cardinale. As i discovered recently, most might have been 2 years younger then normal age for the grades.


And my boss at (z)IMU Bacău starting with 1987 was most likely Ron Hubbard himself who BTW was giving me bonuses to go out drinking with him, others, copious amounts of draft beer most likely diluted by waiters.

Other colleagues, Olivia Newton John, Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger, Gregorian Bivolaru, Angela Ciochină, others. Many others in between, in HS and college. If you change L initial to E and add a d at the end you get

April 22

6:37 I-au distrat pe alții la viața lor, acum vin și se distrează și ei în România... Să vedem ce spun și aliații... Da, la aliați le-ar fi ușor să spună. Dar de ce să nu facem ce vrem noi? Un lucru e sigur. Avioanele acelea sunt de nimic, nu ar schimba cu nimic soarta războiului în afară de faptul că România ar intra și ea în război, fără armament, fără armată, fără populație care să fie mobilizată și fără motiv.

Și apropo. Există în Ungaria cel puțin două tipuri de țigani. Cei care provin din India, aduși de mameluci întâi în Egipt, cei mai săraci și cei care provin din Africa și poate chiar Australia (ungurii cu pinguinul de pe scutul din cea mai veche pictură a lui Attila), cei creți. Și magarii budiști din Nepal. Restul adică majoritatea sunt europeni captivi, imigranți germani la invitație, sârbi fugiți de otomani în secolul 14, români originali și imigrați, ruși, ucraineni, etc.. A și secuii, tot clanul lui Buda. Ei s-au așezat în munți normal pentru că vin din Nepal. Nu, secuii nu pot fi unguri fiindcă ungurii vin din Australia iar secuii din Nepal.

6:43 There is some sort of vibration in the distance, coming from several engines that makes my heart fibrilate... Not the first time.

7:56

12:12 A poet andgentle_man.

12:15/10:15 Mai țineți minte când spunea Băsescul, Dumnezeu să-l ierte, că dacă vrei să faci politică externă, trebuie să ai o hartă a lumii în cap? Una e să fii liniștit la 2000 sau 10000 km de Ucraina și să cântărești argumente filozofice, dacă să trimiți arme sau nu și alta e să fii în graniță cu războiul.

6:33/3:33 Estimp, ce mai fac ăilalți aliați.

Monstruoasa coaliție

Nu am greșit mult când am scris postarea aceasta. Ce fel de guvernare e aceea în care partidele își împart puterea, pe perioade de timp? Ar fi ajuns Ciucă vreodată prim ministru fără această înțelegere, de a guverna un timp unii, un timp alții? O bătaie de joc de alegeri și alegători. PSD și PNL împreună.  Majoritatea, opoziția, nu mai au sens.

Ce nu am prevăzut atunci a fost războiul. Dar ei știau, și de aceea au pus prim ministru un
"general" hidrocefal, care iată, ne copleșește cu cadouri, mărirea alocației de hrană, tot felul de mărunțișuri, un drum expres la care se lucrează de mulți ani, de multe guvernări, prin care încearcă să se lege în sfârșit U-Craiova de lumea civilizată. 

Ucraina. Un fel de război, care e mult mai mult fake decât real. O Ucraină ce pare să fi fost golită de populație cu mult timp înainte. Nu mă întrebați unde s-au dus. Probabil tot acolo unde s-au dus milioane de români care nu mai există. Se spune că au plecat acum 5 milioane. Nimic, nici o informație despre unde s-au dus. Credeți că o țară ca Marea Britanie, cu problemele ei, poate să găzduiască de exemplu un milion de oameni în plus? Germania? Franța? Unde sunt 5 milioane de ucraineni?

Hidrocefal garantează faptul că va face exact ce i se spune pentru că el practic nu gândește. Are pauză la creier. Pentru că mulți din ei până acum au mai ezitat. Unguri unguri, dar erau de proveniență din minoritatea românească de la ei.

Încet încet se face vid în jurul Ungariei, începând de la est. A început cu Yugoslavia, acum Ucraina. România s-a depopulat masiv. Lebensraum. Spațiu vital.

Ucraina înainte de acest război părea că o duce mult mai bine dpdv militar decât România. O țară de 40 de milioane locuitori. Armament de toate tipurile rămas de pe vremea Uniunii Sovietice. 5 regimente de Mig 29 în 2011, 200.000 de oameni în serviciu permanent. Au făcut o alianță cu Polonia și Marea Britanie, și le-au dus acolo. Rachete Neptun cu care au distrus nava amiral a rușilor.

Mig-29 sunt echivalente cu F15 cu două motoare, mult mai mari și mai puternice decât F16 tot așa mult mai vechi decât Mig-29, care au fost date la fiare vechi de portughezi, din care noi abia avem un escadron.

Și totuși rușii i-au copleșit în câteva zile cu rachetele lor. Sau așa merge vorba. Cât timp le-ar trebui să termine România? O zi?

Singurul lucru pentru care ei ne vizitează acum (nu am auzit de relații Româno-Ucrainene înainte de acest război) este că actorii (sau cei care îi dirijează de la distanță) care o fac pe liderii în ambele țări vor să bage de fapt România în război cu Rusia, printr-o donație de Mig-21 absolut nefolositoare, care au fost ținute până acum pentru a păstra job-urile unora, pe care le-au pus la sol special pentru acest motiv.

April 21

3:07 Like yesterday, got awakened by something at 2:30 AM. Came at the computer to read the news. About 10 minutes ago i started to feel a mold smell and then sneeze without stopping. Then i went outside and found another hole under the deck in front of door and one in front of sliding doors at the living or in front of hottest areas where air squeezes in under door and by the sliding doors. The hole under door is a few inches away from the yesterday one which was a few inches away from the one the day before etc.. No other holes in the whole yard. I poured about half gallon of water with borax in each. Closest perceived smell, both inside and out. Heated stove. Or whatever is coming out of those exacerbates my own sense of smell and i actually feel the smell of the stove. I read about the trick with borax on a site, but from what he was saying, and the amount i poured in a large number of holes (about 20) the moles should have been long gone.

Last night i wanted to take a bath. I was sitting there watching the tub getting filled (it takes about 2 and a half minutes) and then i saw something dark coming from the faucet, for about half second, and that cut my appetite. So i just let the tub cool and heat the apartment instead of letting it flow.

3:32 As usual in the "news" most subjects are related to what i just posted. I'd be safe and warm if i was in LA.

3:50 One hour later, the smell outside is long gone, still present inside. Or maybe there is one more hole at the bedroom. My keyboard or hub (that let me turn the Chromebook into a PC) seem broke. I restarted the whole system and that didn't fix it. If i think of something one day like "how well this work" usually the next day it brakes. Aparigraha? Anyways it's enough distraction to make me forget things as what i had in mind to write next.

3:57 Right shift doesn't work (hackers, humoristic). My cold is not completely gone. Wanted to make some tea but the electric kettle broke two days ago. Again i was thinking that it worked nicely for me over the years. Tried to fix it, but the screws at the base are rounded. Was it me, did i fix it before? In the microwave it takes twice longer to boil the same amount of water and it's noisy. Stove is out of the question. Ordered a new one. Switched keyboard in a different port in the hub, the same problem. Num key doesn't light, right shift doesn't work. I had one more... USB port in the Chromebook, plugged the keyboard directly there and again it's not working. So they hacked the Chromebook. Nevermind, it started working now. For how long? Lost about 15 minutes and all my momentum.

4:14 It looks like alarm didn't sound at 4, Angela is still sleeping. It means her overtime ended, like her training yesterday. I wanted to say a few words about and now that i got pissed by the keyboard i found the courage to say it.

About a year ago a new temporary handyman showed here to fix something. He told me he was born in Germany from American parents stationed there and went to HS there and there was one thing he liked. "In Germany, you have to go to school for everything".

As opposed to the famous "on the job training" institution in the US. Which also opposes the equally (in)famous "job security" institution.

On the job training means you get trained to do a new thing like a different workstation, by a colleague, who sometimes has training skills and sometimes doesn't, he just knows how to do the job but can't teach others.

Job security means people competing unfairly at work, even outside work hours. Rumors, secret complaints and alliances, blackmail, short-cutting chain of management, secret or open alliances included.

One makes everything possible not to show selected colleagues what he/she knows, that brings him/her and their friends more chances of keeping the job. Which means your colleague that trains you can pretend he can't teach you. Or worse, that you are untrainable.

4:32 Went to pick some pieces of garbage from the red mulch that are known (to me) to create a mold smell. One was next to a SUV's left front wheel (again, humor), like many times before, but when i went to pick it i saw the red SUV had a flat in the left rear. Once again, they laid a trap based on my previous behavior. BTW ever since i took that IR picture of the building, keep asking why there is a fan in a closed window and why the wall was hot in that day which prompted me to buy the IR camera. On August 20 last year i had a flat again in the right rear at my old Elantra that triggered a chain of events that ended in me being hit from behind on I5.

BTW, Tuesday afternoon i fixed again the car's battery connectors. Not long ago i doubled the connectors by drilling holes in battery's terminals. Angela said in the morning voltage was again low. No heat, no vibration, from evening to morning the connectors got loose. Two connections per each terminal that both get loose? It only works for one trip no matter how long but if i make that trip right after i fix them. Thinking to fix them right before she leaves.

4:46 And one more thing. Now that i reviewed yesterday his picture, i started to believe the guy that was yelling at me two days ago from the back of the alley, who replaced him, was again Pitbull (or George Borlai), while "his wife" could have been a man in disguise, like maybe again Tom Cruise, hiding his hands behind cars.

5:04 Angela awoke a while ago (used at 4 AM for weeks now) and started TV. Biden is coming to Portland today. Nevermind, i won't fix anything today. Angela passes this place every day in her way to work and back. And BTW, i believe besides nitrogen, they also make (scavange from air) Xenon, one of the most expensive gasses as well. Nitrogen in elemental gas or liquid form is inert, in fact it is used as fire extinguisher.
Did you notice the symbolism in the above video? Blue for cold, which will freeze you, red for hot which will thaw you back in the spring, silver for the morphing metal. See what i mean? 12:11/10:11 Nimic original sub soare.

1:40 Was thinking. Aparigraha applied to war. We go to war for attachment to one idea or another.

1:56 About 15 minutes ago was getting ready to go for a walk. Grabbed my coat, phone, looked at the temperature, looking for a cap. Opened the door and saw the "child" of the "family" with the dog at the mailboxes. She made a pirouette, acting like she saw me. Then she went one the lawn on other side of the building to leave her signature. Waited for 10 minutes, thinking if it's not too late too ready. Tonight, Tom Cruise with a gun will be again behind some cars, ready to shoot me down while Biden is still in town and "Air Force One security took over all law enforcement agencies". Thinking. Is she still outside the building?

2:51 Besides numerous hidden (subliminal) gay messages, this video has an obvious pro-alcohol theme. Or even mixed gay and pro-alcohol, the way he throws the bottle by his back. (Always missing his kisses, falling back first, grabbing  her by the back).

It's been bothering me since i first saw it, because Scientology claims it is against and has this program for addressing drugs and alcohol. It thought i made sense since Xenu brought them on Earth frozen in ethylene glycol, which is an alcohol.

At the apartment. After i posted two days ago those IR pictures showing empty buildings and kept asking myself if that is not the situation in other complexes or maybe the whole Portland area, though rents go constantly up, they sent us yesterday the offer for lease for one more year, with a 100 dollars (ten percent) rate increase to 1140. However, it is still much lower than other complexes in the area. Today i got an email saying the office "was closed due to unforeseen staffing problems", got a power washer at the building, unannounced, making a big noise.
