June 28

9:30 I was writing and getting ready to finish an important email to WSP (Washington State Patrol) using the gmail account associated with this blog when the email was sent before i had a chance to finish it.

In my initial email two days ago i was asking them for the name of the towing truck driver called by officer Boston Draper who in the end refused to tow us per reason of distance (22 miles) but never had the chance to say i suspect now he was also the driver of the truck that hit me from behind and ran minutes before before the email got sent without me hitting the send button.

They implied in the answer i was replying to they could send me the video from the freeway cameras if i provided location date and hour which i already did, though i asked only for the name of that towing driver. I also gave all the available information in the suspect/witness form i filled that night and is attached to the file that can be found under my name in their records. The form was filled in a street off the freeway at the first exit after location and i think officer Draper put the right location in his forms which are also attached to the file.

But my initial email with the request was not included in their answer (they broke the thread like they always do) and it looks like they missed my only request and now are offering something else instead, the video which two years ago they say it is not available, also asking for... the description of the other driver, which i never had a chance to see. Except if he was the tow driver to whom i casually talked to about the mods at the battery while officer Draper was filling his paperwork in his SUV.

10:10 I know what will happen. Another officer from WSP will answer again breaking the thread of the conversation, pretending he didn't read or understand my previous two emails.
 
4:45 For (Eastern Europeans only. Washington State is a state in the Western US, north of California and Oregon, with capital in Olympia and main city Seattle, home of Boeing, Microsoft and Starbucks, the last state to be added to the Union (1889), not to be confused with Washington DC, that is 3000 miles by plane or three time zones away.

4:50 When Angela comes from work she is very vocal and the only way to quiet her down is to give her some food. Today i gave her slow cooked rice (14 minutes) with soy sauce, caramelized sauteed sliced sugar free giant chicken breast (8 minutes), grated cabbage with diced canned olives and cherry tomatoes which took me all about half hour to cook (excluding doing the dishes and marinating the chicken, which i done earlier).

Sorry the picture came blurred cause i'm drunk already. BTW now she's demanding her glass of wine. Soon she will go to sleep for the rest of the evening time in which i can't move cause she wakes up easily.

But i got plans. I will continue to binge watch a Sci-Fi series i started yesterday on NETFLIX. Cause i don't know what to post anymore.

5:30 What am i saying, i have still a lot on my mind. Google's AI keep pushing me on the right side of youtube songs chosen for the moment. The blacklight reminds me of the first time i heard (and danced on) this song (1981). (One of the few successful songs with synths injected into rock). But keep thinking. Was Lou Gramm's first version or the one i heard then first time, better?


8:22 Went to WinCo. Mexican music playing very loud here at different apartments in the last days and when i left like trying to prove they are not chicanos hikikomori from Japan. There was this guy beyond the one level building with an older white car with a big bass in the trunk.

Many things on the road and at WinCo but one is worth mentioning. When i got back, at the last stop light here at 7-11 there was this snake woman waiting to pass with both legs a few inches in the street since my light was green. Then it turned yellow and i judged i did not have the time to stop without my groceries being spread accross the trunk (and i have two big boxes to put the bags in).

Then the light turned red in about one second or faster than normal but i think i still entered on yellow and she was always there, part in the street, part on the sidewalk, not moving.

When i came back and grabbed the bags and heard the music again i remembered something. I can't remember when i last saw any of my neighbors coming home with groceries except once or twice but i think it was years ago. Most of them i only see a few times before they are replaced anyways.

9:25 Just went in the street to see. Yellow time at that intersection is 4 seconds.
There are two lights but only one lane for going forward and one is covered by trees at the distance where you should see it. But there's something else i remembered. First time after they opened that corner of the intersection i was complaining about, when you were pressing the button, it was making the sound of a machine gun. A joke i assume. I saw two days ago a city guy with a phone around those things and the sound turned to normal. Can they be (re)programmed with a phone?

I was searching for the time needed to stop at 40 (speed limit there is 35) and found for 55. Some vehicles need only 3 seconds to do 0 to 60, mine, more than 6 including reaction time. Deceleration factor does not change with speed so i would assume you would need about 4 seconds to stop at 30, including reaction time. Very tight.

9:37 Now i need the rest of the evening to search for the actress who does Elisabeth Warren.

10:20 Nevermind it was less than an hour. 25 more minutes to explain what happened:

That guy was playing the bass so loud i decided to go for WinCo also because i was craving munchies. It annoyed me even in the parking lot. I believe i was so busy with the car i haven't hosed the building in years so dust buns including insulation dust is everywhere and falls at loud vibrations and that is plainly painful.

Other people doing stupid things i can't remember. Rude drivers on the freeways, some again tailgating. I was mad when i got there. And there she was, at the onion bay. Trying to open a bag for a couple of minutes. I asked her if she was going to stay there all night and then it all escalated into a verbal fight and i think she left the store immediately.

Don't know why a professor (emeritus) in sociology was on my list of actors. Or it is an extraordinary coincidence. Or she was briefly an actress when young. After all, Viktor Orban himself is an actor and director by trade. Trump could also have been a professor of economics in Hungary.

But i'm pretty sure it's her. Even the name clue is there. Maria N, Warren.

Senator of Massachusetts, ex candidate. The name of that cop was Boston Draper. Wondering if it wasn't her design from the beginning. Or maybe she supervises the whole damn thing i keep talking about for years.

Timing was midnight 20/21 August 2021. BTW they used the window of opportunity tonight exactly when i was driving for a few seconds a bit aggressive on I5 to send the email. They didn't give me the video though they said they would if i give them time and location and they didn't give me the name of the tow truck driver, only the towing company... Chappell’s. More than that, i think i also saw him at WinCo tonight.

I was wondering. If WSP had a contract with that towing company like Draper said (not sure which is first and last name), what happened after they broke the contract. Was there any written form. Was the cop supposed to tell his bosses the name of that driver. I think it's impossible for WSP not to know that name.

12:00 Last one this day. I remembered when i came from WinCo had to pass through a cloud of very strong laundry perfume. Seemed like someone did laundry and dried without rinsing. 30 minutes later inside started to smell like dirty laundry. I think i saw earlier a guy going next door resembling... Also had painful dust on my whole body from today's blowing of the parking lot, shaking of building.

So i went to take a shower and then in the bedroom trying to get new underwear, when i felt smoke in there. Went outside and found close to the wall next door a hole that i plugged. Haven't seen that guy, haven't find holes in a while except for one under the main deck.

Last night i hit the doormat to the stairs a couple of times, some dust came out of it, swept under. Today after they blew the parking lot with 200 mph power blowers the mat had way more dust than yesterday after i done the same thing. Literally a cloud of dust came out of it.

June 26

9:30 Got awaken after 5 hours of sleep (same like the last two nights) around 8 by big noises (like a garbage truck though it's Monday) and then the woman next door was talking yelling on the phone for one hour (yes in Spanish though she is Japanese, i know ninja can do that. Learn foreign languages so well you wouldn't know).

I started to remember what i've done last night. Last passing area before Chevron on 26 when going west towards Mt Hood. There was this semi i was following for at least 15 minutes that was going uphill under speed limit though i think it was empty. Those guys even if the are well maintained, put a lot of carbon dioxide behind especially when going uphill, that usually makes me sleepy.

There were two more vehicles behind it. Those and myself started to pass the truck which went onto the right lane. However instead of slowing down it sped up like they usually do to maybe 65 or more. (Had 75 or when i last looked at speedometer while trying to pass it but was held by the other two).

I know when i started to pass my speed was about 65 with the shifter on automatic, at about 4500 rpm and probably in 4th gear. I don't know exactly why but the truck accelerated after those two guys ahead of me passed it and when passing area ended i was parallel with it and i continued to accelerate until i finally passed it too though it was ft behind me and flashing lights instead of slowing down and when i looked at the speedometer and i was doing 80, uphill.

I read on sites and forums last night that my car has a rpm soft limiter at 6000 rpm when you are in sequential mode, when it shifts gears down automatically (and you loose power when uphill of course) and one at 6500 when you are in automated mode, like i was, when it cuts power to the engine. If that had happened he would have hit me from behind for sure cause it was only ft behind me until i slowly accelerated to 90 and put some distance in between.

If i panicked when i saw it close behind and then flashing, and hit the gas pedal to the floor the car would have shifted back to 3rd, the rpm increasing maybe over 6500 at 90 and the engine would have stopped at that rpm.

How would a semi do 80 uphill, that is another question.

Have no idea what marks that truck had on it, but i'm sure it was caught on the cameras on the freeway and/or seen by other drivers. Or maybe he veered right towards Hood River before reaching the Government Camp area. It was all done intentionally, like so many times recently in all kind of situations, in cooperation with the two other drivers and these guys are criminals that should spend time behind bars.

Similar things happen to me in almost all my trips.

9:58 Saturday night after passing Newberg going east again i was going uphill at 65, passed one guy (a white SUV) that was slower in the right lane when i saw something crossing the street, from the left.

It would have taken too long to lift my foot from gas pedal and hit the breaks so i just veered left in the median lane trying to get behind it which i did, maybe except for its tail, don't know if the guy right and behind me hit it. Seconds later i realized by the white stripes on its back that imprinted on my retina that it was a skunk, the first time ever i saw one. It was pretty big, about the size of a raccoon, but faster.

I apologize for modifying the gear numbers so many times in this post, it was all based on guessing (can't see the gear you're in on the dashboard, only the letter D when in automatic).

12:00 This video shows 4500 rpm at 85 mph in 3rd but it's a different type of Elantra. However if you press on gas hard enough you can very easily downshift one ore two gears and reach 6500 when the the fuel to the engine is cut off. BTW this guy is crazy, he does 170 mph with a flat tire warning on the dashboard. I personally never went over 100 with any vehicle.


12:37 I know what happened back in August 20 2021. The driver who hit me could have pretended i again lost engine power when accelerating over 6500 or whatever rpm, but in that night i was going with speed limit on cruise control on a flat or even a bit downhill area on I5 in 6th gear (fuel efficiency gear) per reason of driving with a spare (right rear).

Only when i saw him very close behind i might have tried to accelerate but it was too late as it would have taken several seconds to shift from 6th to let's say 2nd and even in the 2nd gear could still go faster than 60 which i was going when he hit me (that Elantra was 1.8 engine but was rated at the same 150 hp).

One more thing. The cop called a towing company that refused to tow us for reason of distance (22 miles, wondering why the cop wouldn't tell them on the phone, when he called them, where to). Could one of those two towing guys i talked to while the cop was skillfully recording it audio and video to have been actually the driver of the truck who hit me, pretending he didn't run after all. So i actually i might have talked without knowing, with the help complicity of the cop with my ex would be killer.

3:10 No i didn't. Only now i know what happened, a walk through the relatively clean air also cleared my mind. BTW when i left i poured some more vinegar in the old rusted dog feces contaminated pan under the new water heater and the child actors came and started to yell like swallowed whole by giant serpents. So they did when i passed the camp (the children camp in the park, less than one mile away from down town Tulatin and Martinazi street) they enact every summer.

The mods at the battery. In that day in August 2021 i had poured from days before some JB weld steel reinforced adhesive on top of the nuts of the connectors to prevent them from getting loose, not on the connectors themselves. In fact, during engine running the vehicle is powered by the alternator (and not the battery that acts only as a filter) of which connectors runs through a series of plates on the positive with the negative doubled directly on the body. There was adhesive on the nut of the plates too, but not on or between the contacting plates under.

In that night after the accident and pulling on a street nearby i was casually talking in front of the open hood to the second cop and the driver of the towing truck that refused towing, about those mods.

The current configuration has modifications too, only there is no adhesive involved but only a second system doubling the stock con_nec_tors, actually a redundancy with bypassing and an extra connection to the ground on the negative and again bypassing the stock connector to the plates on the positive, with bolts soldered on top of poles. It is true, i saw yesterday one of the battery poles was a little bent, i don't know why, there is no extra weight on it.

Besides i never had problems with it, on the opposite, it improved vehicle's operation by increasing driveability, mileage and decreasing vibration. I have digital a voltmeter inserted in one of the plugs. Never lost power in years of experimenting with those, then why in that day?

The taillights on every car are build to reflect light and they would have been very visible in the dark when lit with headlights from behind, even if i lost power which i didn't.

In fact on another recent occasion i used the horn as last defense against an attempt of being again hit from behind and the other driver fell back. Now i know why. Horn was showing i had electric power.

But if i accidentally (mis)maneuvered and hit the gas pedal to the floor and hit the 6500 rev limit in 1st gear uphill, it could have looked like i lost electric power. I'm wondering what would have happened if i was wounded in an accident near Mt.Hood, far away from any hospital and ambulance services.

August 23 was only 2 days away and in that day at Les Schwab in Lake Owego i was assisted by a Les Schwab employee that looked like a right wing minister from one of the numerous Iohannis governments, Dan Vilceanu. It is rumored Iohannis has ties with the extreme right in Romania. He told me the tire with the flat i had earlier that day before the accident was unfixable as per a previous defective installation (done at the same shop). He insisted he took the tire in the trunk, where i was hit in that night.

What happens is though they are doing symbolic gestures trying to take credit of what followed that night in front of their right wing audience while the others don't care.

I think it was on May 2020 when driving with the same car, the first day a casino ever opened (Little Creek) after pandemics closure, when i went over a wheel (whole wheel, not shredded tire) exactly in that area, in the middle of the lane. Thing is i did not panic and hit the brakes, the car would have lowered its front (nose dive) and hit it and it barely touched it with some part (cross member i think).

After, i pulled from freeway in the area where she was missing from (not knowing at the time) to check for damages under the car.

In that night at the casino i went to the car several times (to drink of course) and last time i sat in line behind a woman, not unattractive but looking vulnerable, thin and not tall, who kept telling everybody she lost her purse and kept getting out and back in line (for temperature checking) to get in, and she didn't know why. I saw her later in the casino talking with two cops, then why the search that kept going for days?

4:49 This 2019 Elantra is closer to mine. You can realize it's a decent car. As for style, Koreans have a sense for a an elegant minimalism, beating classical Japanese basic pragmatism though lately they all started to look the same.

I think the man was doing 110 on a German autobahn in 5th gear at 6500 rpm (minute 1:58) right before car automatically shifted to 6th. In the US you can see this road quality only on recently paved freeways. Never seen continuous or interrupted lines so straight though confusing at 3:00 due to construction work. Crooked lane lines get you tired, fast. Good thing they also keep you challenged (and alert).

This, at 4:00. They do this to me a lot, slower cars changing lanes when i'm about to pass them. Good thing they didn't do it when he was passing them going 120 mph (193 kmh). And a stinking classic that fills your cabin (and filter) with smoke for the next 5 minutes. I see they're universal.

5:00 Christmass 2019 and 2020. It always happens around anniversaries and holidays. Today was my birthday.

6:30 Never new what steemit was until today when i was searching for his face.

June 16

3:06 Nighttime paving on Hwy 18 at 99 Jct after McMinville. UFO gay city USA. But let's not forget. I was hesitating to write anything about for several reasons. It will dilute what i wrote recently. I don't know exactly why and what really happened. Spent most day trying to figure who Remy Drabkin really is but i failed. However i figured Drabkin is a Russian name but also reminds of course of Dracula.

5:22 Slept only 4 hours last night. Tried all afternoon to sleep but i can't. I know it usually happens when people throw things on the red mulch. Some kind of invisible pungent mold grows under. I saw last night when i came or yesterday when i left a car's wheel next to the stairs wheel wall. I initially wanted to take it next to the garbage bin but first i tried to look to see if it belongs to any car in the lot. I saw it belonged to the car next to it and when i looked the other side, i saw a spare, now flat and another flat one.

I remember i saw and heard him about 2 weeks ago talking literally over my head with a supposed work colleague  from the other building in the same direction where i was saying "When are we get payed?".

Then i went to take the garbage thinking that could have been the problem however the problem lays in the bin. The bin stinks really badly and there's no wind. Somebody threw some pieces of what it looked like coming from a couch.

However they messed with my car yesterday. I drove for 1200 miles and the voltage did not change at the digital voltmeter from the 12 volts adapter.

Here i have to repeat what i wrote before. Most people including myself until recently think they might have "smart charging systems" on the newer vehicle. Which means if they stick a digital voltmeter in the plug which is connected actually to the wires that lead to the battery or measure the voltage at the battery (on the wires) it should be anywhere between 12.7 "when the alternator is not charging" and 15 volts when it does. Or at least me i get these readings, on both Elantras i owned or own.

But if i go ahead and fiddle with the connectors (clean with alcohol, tight them to the specs) the situation changes. The voltage stays constant or better said it varies only with outside temperature. At 75 degrees outside the voltage is 14.4. At 60 is 14.5. At 50 is 14.6. Above 85 is 14.3. I believe the variations are due to change in temperature but hard to say of which component. Could be battery. Could be alternator or even the cable.

The reason for the alternator (not so smart) intermittent charging process are the badly designed contacts (not enough contact pressure, contaminants). When the voltage difference between the wires and the terminal gets high enough the contact resistance is broken and the battery starts charging, When it's not charging, the pulsating 15 volts from the alternator goes to all the systems in the car and especially the fuel pump is malfunctioning (pulsating pressure i guess) but also the EPS (Electric Power Steering system). When there are good contacts, the pulses get smoothened by the battery that acts as a capacitor.

So i had the above temperature dependent readings for the whole 1200 miles trip. But after i got home, or better said the next day, i started to get anything between 12 and 15. So while driving towards what i thought was going to be the Ocean, i stopped three times. The voltage got back to normal only after i wiped with alcohol wipes all connecting metal surfaces and the plastic parts around the alternator connector. It was like it was contaminated with something invisible that was trickling back from plastic parts to metal joining parts as soon as i was wiping only those.

After first night on the road at Comfort Inn in Yreka, or Tuesday night, i woke early (freeway noise) and went to check the manifold bolt. (I got a bolt on the manifold which sticks outside the heat shield that likes to get loose). So i torqued it by ear with a 6 inch ratchet at about 20. Then i went back in the room. At nine when i left i had a hunch and dried it one more time and it was loose again. One our later we went to check the small casino (i believe Red Rock) and drove a couple of miles there and when we left i tried again and the bolt was loose again but i believe i torqued it less cause i don't know what happened.

We went to another one (yes we tried to tour the casinos along the way), called... Rolling Hills and checked it again and it was a bit loose because i did not tightened it enough at Rain Rock. Then it stayed like that for the rest of the trip. I guess cause i was just following some scratches i done with a file on the nut. However, i realized later the rotation of that scratch was too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Last night in the parking lot at Spirit Mountain i finally took the small torque wrench (got two, one big and one small, it's another story) and torqued the nut at 20+ but less than 25. When i got home last night i finally read in the service manual. The torque there should be between 25 and 30 lbft but i'm afraid to go there with the 8 mm studs, sorry. So i left it just under 25.

Unlike any other time, there was a security van moving around, and i was getting very nervous because they once told me not to work on car in the parking lot, in similar circumstances, that is like tightening a nut or something. Just when i was about done she came and in the dark thought i recognized her from somewhere. Could be the last match. She asked if i needed help.

Soon after that i got what people call an anxiety attack. Since i've been so many times through those (not in recent years) i now have an idea what they really are. It starts with breathing on the nose that is partly congested and in the same time your heart being stimulated, mostly with substances like coffee, alcohol, T gondii, etc. It may take hours to fully develop. You breathe harder through the congested nose without realizing.

Yesterday was topped by driving through fresh asphalt smell, others. Though i used a decongestant in the morning.

There is a partial vacuum in the chest because of obstructed nose and your diaphragm muscle is raised. Retained intestinal gas pushes it upwards from the other side. Heart doesn't have enough room to get filled by the low pressure of venous blood. The lack of oxygen also gives you a high and you don't realize what's happening. It's the perfect storm.

Your heart does not get enough oxygen but works harder because lungs do not get filled enough. In the end it's the lack of enough oxygen in the heart muscle that triggers the sensation. Or the fact the heart does not get filled enough. Nothing related to a mental condition except the highs before that could have been signs and avoided.

Yes it was done on purpose. Because i dared to post this. And this. They might pretend they are magically gassing you but they are not really.

However the result is very similar. After you finally realize what's happening and finally open your mouth, you need to hyperventilate sometimes for hours for your heart to get really oxygenated to the point you are not aware or do not have shortness of breath anymore.  Which is the sensation of not having enough air that may last for hours.

If it's torture. They only provide the extra conditions. Most people would be okay if they get through a cloud of asphalt smell. However if you are in a certain high condition and already breathing harder on your nose, it will push you beyond limit. I think they call it "breaking". However i the end it's not real but simulated (except for my symptoms which are real). The ninja try to simulate what right extremists would do, to entrain more of those.

Rage can create that condition. Your nose mucous gets inflamed and swollen. Breathing harder gets you a high and an unprecedented alertness. Your body goes on adrenaline mode with less oxygen to the muscles which go in anaerobic metabolism for faster response but it should not last long (until your rage passes) and you start breathing normally. It is an emergency physiological mechanism that need to stop in time and should not be abused. If they knew. Yes they did, they created the problems with the car and made me fix it on the side of the road with much traffic and then the unscheduled, unannounced paving.

Black asphalt is another symbolism. I know i wrote about this several times before but it takes me less time to write it again than search, evaluate and link to. I will try to write a named post about buck breaking.

Soon after i got stopped behind other vehicles in a line on top of the fresh asphalt and waiting there not knowing what happened, for half hour. No car was going in neither direction. I remember when we got back i saw a panel saying "paving work". And then a "pilot vehicle" guided the few cars. But not when i went when i saw people turning around and taking voluntary detours. I remember how many times they were detours on 18 always in that area but it was always signaled or announced.

This time i tried to figure using the gps map and got back to McMinville, took a left and another one and driving parallel with 18 where i saw cars were finally moving got back in the street on the point where there was a flagger that stopped us. A Japanese guy trying to look Latino looking at us with disgust.

We waited for 10 minutes for all the cars in the line we've been into and more to pass and then we went after those. I don't know exactly how may miles they paved and when they started. Still trying to figure that out but could not find anything with google.

8:03 The car alternator terminal was contaminated again. At the liquor store one very old man looking terminally ill went in the store and came back and insisted if i wanted some help with the car while i was trying to deal with the connectors. I tightened the alternator connector but it again needs alcohol. But i won't fix until i leave cause until tomorrow it will get loose again. I think i will carry from now on a small bottle with alcohol in the car.

9:06 Lăsați vrăjeala cu chatboții. M-am urcat în mașină și am mers până la liquor store (în statele vecine tăria se vinde la supermarket, asta e numai în Oregon). Când am oprit la semafor la prima intersecție (cu exit-ul de pe I5) a apărut un TIR (semi) cu reclamă la cartofi prăjți (potato chips) văluriți (wavy), culoarea exact ca în link, mare cât toată remorca și mi-a defilat prin față, sub camerele video de pe stâlpi. Asta pentru că am scris despre curentul pulsatoriu nefiltrat care iese din alternator din cauza contactelor slabe de la baterie și afectează pompa de benzină deci consumul.

O problemă cronică chiar și la mașini noi fiindcă acel contact de la alternator se contaminează cu vapori de ulei cu praf foarte fin, invizibil de la mașinile din față.

Budiștii din Japonia și dominicanii (domonkos) din Ungaria (controlați tot de budiști) care s-au unit și vor să încălzească planeta din motive religioase nu au nici un interes în a reduce consumul de carburanți, dimpotrivă. Ei folosesc deci această metodă de combatere prin suprapunerea informațiilor.

Apropo de dominicani, după ce m-am plâns că Reno a fost inundat cu metamfetamină, când m-am dat jos din mașină la liquor store mirosea la fel ca în parcare când am plecat de acasă, adică kk de câine care a stat vreo zi două la soare. Deci toată zona e la fel. Nașpa că mă ține treaz, nu pot dormi, am intrat într-o fază din alea de insomnie care m-au condus în trecut la spitalul de nebuni.

Încă zece sau o sută de faze la fel până la liquor store și înapoi pe care nici nu am timp să le memorez din moment ce totuși trebuie să fiu atent fiindcă eu conduc pe bune în timp ce alte mașini sunt conduse de IA. Culmea, ei pretind invers ca să justifice faptul că nu m avut niciodată accident din vina mea în 28 de ani, în afară de 2 în parcare când am atins stâlpi, unul când am dat înapoi și o tipă care venea cu viteză (și lucra în asigurări) mi-a luat spatele. Cel puțin în Oregon, tot ce mișcă, persoane, mașini sunt coordonate de inteligența artificială, de zeci de ani, dar totul devine din ce în ce mai sofisticat.

Bineînțeles asta înseamnă înlocuirea tuturor locuitorilor cu actorii și figuranții (extra) lor. Sute de mii în total (informație luată de la cineva din România).

June 11

12:40 Wanted to leave today but i've done something stupid. Yesterday when the sprinklers were on i went to adjust one of them because there will be a big yellow spot in front of the parking spots. However the sprinkler is touchy and unpreditable and the water stopped before i finished. So i don't know if i done it right or not.

If not, it could sprinkle on the building and there is an electric box for... programming the sprinklers. In fact it did that when the first started and had to adjust it and it took a long time. So i didn't leave no more waiting for 5:30 pm for the sprinklers to start.

I had several things to do at the car, including tightening some panels under that vibrate. After i've done so i went for a test drive and saw the voltage at the plug was 14.6 which indicate loose battery connectors or alternator connectors. Yesterday for example was 14.4 which is ideal.

The positive one was loose (duh!, they needed to do something for me to have on the road). I tightened it, had a doubt, untightened it and the solder joint broke. It lasted since January and numerous re-tightenings. I brough the battery inside and tried to break the other one too so i re-do both in the same time but i couldn't. In the end i cut it with a saw. Re-did both which involves some rosin smell.

2:10 I had to re-do it. Was in a hurry and made some mistakes. One of the joints broke as i installed the battery.

This is a note to self in the future. I have to heat the bolt on the red hot electric stove burner until the flux from the bubble of melted solder applied on the hex end start to come at the surface and become yellow, but not brown. Have to first clean, apply flux and tint the terminal, using the hot bolt as a soldering iron, cool with water, dry and apply flux and then reheat the bolt following the same rule. Have to press real hard the bolt on the terminal in one move and have to see bubbles of solder coming out of the joint all around. Cool right away.

9:46 None the richer.

June 3rd

12:34 I remember how frustrated i was 28 years ago (almost) when i came to the US. My English was pretty basic back then and because i couldn't speak my mind, people were showing faces at me that were telling: Idiot... Retard... Psychotic...

Nobody will ever know how painful it was to get here. To write a blog in English and say things that would never have crossed my mind if i didn't come here. I would have never known that a band like Oasis existed. Radio stations in Romania play mostly euro-dance to this day. Would have always got high drowned in sugar.

But always feel the same anxiety when i try to say things i haven't before. I wish i could find quickly the words to describe this band. After peeking in Wikipedia all i saw was... Britpop. Heavily influenced by Beatles. Influential.

What i would say. Same bpm as one song would start from another. Monotone sparkling guitar chords and a plain bold voice. Acceptable but never triggered in me the urge to look for their name. A counterbalance to Nirvana. Eye popping lyrics (One Headlight, where they become distinct and do i feel a bit of late modern new wave psychedelic in there). So to this day i never knew of Oasis, Liam and Noel Gallagher etc. by name. Though i have listened to their music probably as much as to Phil Collins and Sting. Safely blame it on (local) DJs for both.

What made me today. The weird coincidence of this article after me heavily criticizing both of the above.

Not the first time when i heard the phrase: Pill Collins is the must successful untalented guy. Insecure, shy, pretentious. Yes it's true.

But other than a guy named Noel cursing a guy named Phil, i don't really see any anti-racism.

And yes i wouldn't have known that walflowers do exist if i didn't google for the name of the song.

Sadly not the only coincidences in the news (should be getting used by now but it shocks me every time) with what i wrote lately. News about disasters from remote areas. But only by looking carefully, for more than a couple of seconds, you may be realizing those are fake.


1:53 The left front wheel nuts went loose in the same night i torqued them to 10 twice, like all the other wheels, after i went to WinCo. Forgot to re-torque them. Last night i had trouble driving because of those. I went outside to torque those and collect the oil from the catch can. I talked about aloud inside for at least one hour. But when i went i started with torquing and what did i see. The second or third veteran with his wife was returning from the mailboxes. Can't say they got in front of me. But they anticipated the moment i would go to do it.

She, playing victim, he the protector. She wouldn't go to pick the mail alone especially when she knows i'm about to do something at the car (the smallest thing involving oil). Starting to hear a bunch of Hareleys in the distance when i went the second time. Or a military plane on afterburner. Either ways.

They continued like that until i went back inside. A van with White Shinto LPN made a turn using the next spot when i was leaving, getting real close to me. Inside two Japanese models made up almost blond staring at me with shown disgust. In that moment i felt like going and smashing the windows of that van. BTW there wasn't much oil in the can but a couple of onces of water mixed with oil.

To me it looked like this spring, all of a sudden, the car started to put lots of blow by mixture which prompted me to install it.

That emulsion is thin, not like oil and would bounce in the can and probably climb and part of it get inside the intake, defying its purpose. The can came with some sort of metal sponge that would prevent that but i'm afraid to put it in, on counts of what if some metal breaks from it and get in the engine. I'm thinking of using some absorbent material that can't break but that could get sucked into it.

3:13 Getting ready for vacation, got my new GPS. So far. Hard to input addresses. Not all places, like all casinos, are listed. Have to manually put in the current position at start? Truth is i didn't completely learn how to use it but pretty decent for 60 bucks. Choice from many other Chinese ones at the same price was battery (2500 mAh) and list of places. Nicest thing. It shows speed limit in any area and tells you if you are over it and after that one more time if you are over that +10. A half second delay in vocal turn announcement that may become critical at times.

Stuck with a suction cup on the windshield, same problem as with my dashcam that got destroyed by heat from sunlight. Tried and put a piece of aluminum foil in the back of it  to prevent this.

May 30

8:57 Psihologie inversă. O elită secretă din Ungaria controlată de o elită srecretă din Japonia controlează totul inclusiv UE, Parlamentul și Comisia. Și arestarea Evei Kaili este tot un exemplu de psihologie inversă.

9:18 Woke up in mold smell. Last night at 1:30 i had to go and pick items from the redwood mulch. Amazing how much mold smell can cause inisde a can of soda with some soda left in it, thrown on that. But who will throw soda and beer cans with soda and beer left in it? Besides, all the people here look civilized, i'm supposed to be the only villain.

However it takes hours until the mold smell subsides, after removing those. So i started the filters and ozone generators and the smell is so bad you can't even feel the smell of ozone.

9:35 Un canal din media oficială preia din volei această idee, bineînțeles cu o greșeală. Ca și cum nu ar fi de partea utilizatorilor, ci a fabricanților care îi sponsorizează. Puterea de emisie nu depinde de brand sau sistemul de operare (iPhone, Android) ci de distanța până la turn sau câte bare de semnal sunt la telefon.

Într-un bloc din beton armat telefonul trebuie să folosească mai multă putere, din cauza efectului de cușcă Faraday a armăturii și a betonului în general, care blochează semnalul. Telefonul are setări automate pentru putere la emisie, invizibile pentru utilizator. Când avem bare puține telefonul emite la putere maximă. Semantică, psihologie inversă.

Friars. Multă lume se gândește probabil că radiația de la un telefon celular este un efect secundar. Nu, radiația este efectul principal, este vocea dumneavoastă, digitalizată și modulată pe acest semnal. Cu alte cuvinte, este o ilustrare a proberbului românesc "Pasărea pe limba ei piere". Tot ce vorbiți (uneori cu păcate) vă trece la propriu din nou prin creier. Este foarte posibil să fie un sistem realizat deliberat tot de acești dominicani.

9:51 A van from a cabinets firm from Seattle came to do the cabinets upstairs. It will be one hellofaday. If started with most likely intentional dropping and rolling of a heavy object. Should have left earlier but i didn't have a chance to eat.

Didn't catch that. Vibration was so intense it induced a shock wave into my spine, like going to the chiropractor. Here a sample of hammering.

12:20 They blew the leaves from eastern garages (relative to this building) as they said they will. I took a picture but it did not come right. The piles of leaves blown from the roof are about twice the size of what i picked in five laundry baskets after the wind. By handling those leaves i got more hives on the left arm. I think i can feel the stink right now, as mold resembling smoke.

12:30 There is a "floating" old white van in the neighborhood with LPN JBQ i wrote about before. Right now is parked not on a spot but on the narrow space next to the garbage bin across. But before the warning tickets it was staying for weeks in the same spot behind a bush where my truck is now next to south garages. It had visibility to the apartment upstairs. I think they wrote the whole scenario of the "guy" upstairs moving around this story. Right after he left they piled appliances at the sliding doors that cut visibility. One of the guys i saw near the van was... and another one...

12:40 I feel a presence... I bet the shy skinny white guy who officially does now the cabinets upstairs can't and won't do this kinda of noises. I think it's her again and again.

1:28 I thought i was privileged to drive alongside iconic Hwy 101 on a gorgeous day sometimes among a myriad of American flags during a holiday that is sacred to most Americans. Memorial Day, commemorating the loss of so many young pure lives who knows what for and thought to myself, this must come with a price that i will pay someday. The pay time came sooner than expected, with that near accident in Florence. I am also happy that many TV encores gave up the pronunciation "mmorial" and nowadays all vowels are heard.

The empty restaurant symbolizes the missing ones.
5:50 They came. 3 kids in bathing suits that yell almost continously, for hours. The same way they made noise at the hotel or this morning upstairs, with almost no pause bertween knocks. Where from do they have that kinda energy?

8:28 There was a 50 dollars difference for the brake pads if i ordered them with normal or expedite shipping. With normal shipping they would not come here before our vacation. So i went outside to check the right wheel as well. As for the left, here is at least 10k till the indicator would start to squeak. So i ordered the parts, which i found at an online dealer for half the price on ebay and less than on Amazon and they will arrive while i won't be here. Oops, i think they will let them at the door. Need to go back and cancel the order.

8:32 Could not cancel the order, i just sent them an email.

What i wanted to say. While i was outside. First 5 minutes was ok except for the air horns on the freeway, which sounded for 30 seconds at the time. Soon after, they started to pour in. Finally when i was done and torquing the nuts (BTW they were all loose, at all wheels, which explains some sounds i was hearing when turning in the parking lot and some driveability issues) obviously with my butt in the air, a thin read headed guy whit a LPN HET (No in Russian) came, parked rear first and handed ceremoniously a small package, most likely food, to a little girl that came outside.

Yesterday i remembered i had a jump starter which i bought for the other Elantra before i replaced the battery. 40 bucks on Amazon. I only used it a few times. I was sure it was in the car in a pouch that belonged to my old truck but cannot find it anywhere. Could it have remained in the car when i took it to the shop for damage estimation? No cause i remember i put it in that pouch together with a small compressor that broke after.

I went to search for it in the truck, and uphill, next to the one level house, where lives this bearded guy who looks like a bishop from Romania, talking to, possibly trying to convert?... a biker on a Harley.

9:20 Just saw a Progressive commercial on TV. I think the read headed guy earlier in the parking lot was him.

Nu e asta. M-am uitat la televizor în seara asta, ceea ce nu fac de mult timp. Am văzut pe mai multe canale de știri și chiar în show-uri elemente de combatere pe cuvinte cheie, răspunsuri subtile la postările mele recente, știri și evenimente întregi generate pe computer, bineînțeles inexistente în realitate. O știam de mult, am uitat, pentru că procesul de îmbătrânire a creierului meu a avansat. A fost o perioadă când mă simțeam sufocat de aceste practici dar acum le ignor.

Inteligența artificială este la lucru de mult, de decenii, și a ajuns să controleze o mare parte dacă nu tot ce se publică, inclusiv crearea sau generarea citirii știrilor, cu actori care sunt modelați după persoane existente, deși instanța respectivă este creată de un computer. Alegerile sunt un show de la început până la sfârșit. Suntem... departe pe acest drum fără întoarcere.

Tired from Sunday, scrambled from noises this morning. I had a few drinks and fell asleep late afternoon. Woke up with the pleasant sensation of something accomplished. But i was craving fruit and all i had was some dried oranges. So i decided to go to WinCo.

After 10 PM, the beeping sound of forklifts moving through the store. A short guy was looking desperately after somebody and i was in his way and for a good few seconds it looked like he was chasing and yelling at me.

There was only one check stand open but the self ones were opened, surprisingly, after 10. Didn't have many items and went to a self stand. But when i got to the cherries, the system read the barcode but gave me a message. Item not recognized. I was simply too lazy to think as the supervisor was close and he grabbed the bag and simply went through the menu which i could have done it myself.

On my way back after hitting the bumpers here in the parking lot, i heard the noise again, like the nuts for one wheel (left front) were loose again.

May 29

10:28 Just got home and had to move the truck because Saturday i found another warning ticket saying that it will be towed Tuesday.

In this complex we only have one designated parking spot. There are a number of visitors spots, about 15% of the total that people are competing over, to park their second car. However from time to time, if the car is parked for too long on a visitor spot, they will put a warning sticker on your car. My truck was on the same visitor spot since last Thursday, when i last used it, or for two days, however it was in that spot before Thursday as i could not find. Some people don't move their vehicles from visitors spots for weeks. Some just exchange spots with others also on visitor spots.

I write this because tonight the spot next to ours, belonging upstairs was empty (it was used by other people in the last few days) because nobody lives upstairs nowadays and i parked my truck there, for a few hours, or until 4:30 Tuesday morning. I used that spot in the past when that apartment upstairs was vacated and once i was told not to use it anymore.

The alternative is to move it at the Meridian parking lot at the street until morning when i can park it here after Angela leaves, but there i had a number of problems, including a stolen wheel and catalytic. So i have no emotions free alternative tonight.

Earlier. Yesterday and today i avoided a number of ready made accidents (highest on a 24 hours period so far). They all would have been my fault of course. But maybe the most interesting was in Florence Oregon. I came out of a street onto a boulevard. There was this gray older van possibly a VW but second generation (bigger, more solid, square at corners, maybe 80s) coming from the left, at least 300 ft away.

Until i accelerated to speed limit +10 it caught up with me, must have been speeding big time, as i saw it on the mirror only ft away, though the mirror was on night mode since earlier (a long story, somebody with an RV was annoying me when in a parking lot and turned not to see him anymore). In that moment i accelerated more and narrowly escaped. Would have been my fault (going too slow, getting in front of her).

At the intersection i was waiting for green (didn't make a right turn on red or couldn't because of traffic) and it caught up with me on the other lane and looked and guess who it was. It was the artist known as Lady Gaga though i didn't recognized her at first and gave her the finger in frustration and she tried to keep her cool and smile large at me as only she could, making a gesture with her hands claiming ignorance. "What?". I was telling Angela. No cop in his right mind would arrest Lady Gaga for trying to create an accident.

The combined crimes that describe what she did including conspiracy with others to commit those would total probably life in prison. However there is a possibility she was behind the wheel of a retrofitted self driving vehicle (the gesture with her hands above the wheel).

I now remember that yesterday when i left i got behind an SUV with a vine Oregon LP saying GAGAS.Also the car was messed with since i last drove it. All electrical connections to battery and alternator were weakened and contaminated. Had to tighten the battery connectors one by one, and stopped several times, and also cleaned the alternator connector with alcohol (did it only this morning) to make it work back at 44 mpg on a highway (without having to stop, a stop and/or idling would affect that).

Two weeks ago i took a picture of the left front brakes, and though i had at least two more mm or 20k miles to go until that angled part ends but today the plates look much more thinner, like i have to replace them right away. Amazing how far the original ceramic plate went (102kmiles). However last 30k were done by me mostly on highways (outside city) when brakes are not used as much per mile. No sound from the indicator. I'll see tomorrow.

Also, for months now, any vehicle that gets behind me comes too close. When i try to stop and let them pass and restart (that cost me on mpg), others come right away and do the same as they were organized (criminals).

We made a reservation a while ago at a hotel for the week June 11-27, Angela made a vacation request at the same time, however no response yet.

This morning Angela started the phone in the bathroom at the hotel in the same that i was with the meter in my hand next to the door trying to keep away from the oven while heating water for tea and noodles (that was much more leaky than others before). But i noticed the meter was not beeping or showing anything during startup of her phone, or one meter away.

I attributed that to the fact the tower was less than a quarter of mile away and phone was on lowest emitting setting.

I decided to use it myself (her phone not mine) to modify something on the blog on the post with... cell phones radiation (remembered about the polar lipid bylayer i once wrote in a post about). However when i started it (Angela stopped it as per our new rules) the beeper went crazy (never saw readings so high from a phone before, even from 3-4 meters away), probably got connected to another more distant tower and i had to refuge in the other corner of the room still getting high readings until startup and initial protocol with tower ended and then when i tried to approach it the emission power was still too high and i just shut it down.

The hotel room was reasonably clean except for the windows. There was a thick layer of pickled smoke algae on the outside. I think it happens only in building D. I tried to clean it but could only picked some of it. There was smoke coming from fires on the beach. A number of people on the beach but only in front of our room, and they all seemed Japanese. After eating and having a few drinks i fell asleep and woke up in an hour or so very sick, probably because of nose congestion. I almost could not walk to the casino to find Angela.

Gradually got better inside the casino where there was no smoke and after breathing on my mouth for an hour or so. Went to sleep at 2:30. In the morning the exaggerated, unexplained, most likely intentional noises from 5 surrounding rooms woke me a number of times. Could not sleep between 5:30 and 7:30 because my right eye was itching badly from cleaning the windows and because i was thinking of the polar lipid bylayer of my poor cells that have been exposed for so long. Slept maybe 6 hours in about 10 fragments. After that i drove for about 220 miles.

Won a little, for the first time maybe since Easter which confirms my theory. They set the machines loose on holidays.

12:25 Gaga, Giga (Hertz). It totally makes sense.

May 7

2:08 They did wake me after 4 hours of sleep. Tried to search for something, the person came and started to squeak so severely i gave up and started another project that has been delayed. The catch can for the newer Elantra. All the parts were there waiting and i put it together and installed it on the car. I also tried to vacuum the intake like i did to the other Elantra, some oil came, but i gave up as being too tired. People as usual moving around me like on a chase table, always anticipating my moves and creating visual traps. Kids behind me as i was working on car etc..

Corrugated copper pipe and front installation for condensing the oil. The idea behind it is to catch the oil vapor coming from the valve cover and crankcase through the PCV line that due to poor design (all combustion engines are like this) gets in the intake and on the valve, making them to stick and giving more work to the hydraulic lifters. In a way it is very similar to an appendix on the large intestine.

Besides a small, few percents, direct loss of power due to resistance to turning of the camshaft which matters when cruising at 20 HP output (60 HP thermal) in a car with good aerodynamics which is still 15 times the power of a 3000 watts heater or laundry drier, you do get noise from cam lobes hitting the partially filled lifter, foam in oil from squishing the oil out of lifters due to valve resistance (sticky), unbalanced engine due to some valves being opened only partly and with a delay which translates in poor drivability, again loss of power due to partially burnt fuel in those cylinders that overloads the catalytic converter, loss of comfort due to vibration and a host of other problems like wearing out engine mounts etc. etc..

One of the two most overlooked and poorly understood problems of modern cars including newest. The other one is using insufficiently filtered, pulsating DC from alternator for powering of the electronics and fuel pump because of poor battery connection due to contamination and corrosion of connectors that usually starts after first time changing the battery when you can never achieve the same type of connection like from factory.

May 6


11:45 Want to get rid of nastiest itching skin infection with brown and red discoloration of the skin including an open wound with missing derma in a couple of days? (instead of 6 weeks in my case).

Gently wash with mild rose soap bar (Dove) to relieve the itching. Dry with a new untouched paper towel. Spread a very thin layer of vaseline over the whole red itching area and wound (sterile, 100% white petrolatum, unscented etc. coming from a tube, in jars it can become contaminated).

Cut open an Amoxicilin or Cephalexin capsule. Spread less than one half of it on the vaseline and gently rub until the white dust gets embeded in vaseline. Put a sterile pad on top and wrap in bandage like with any wound. I put on top a piece of women stockings to gently hold it together (no pressure added). Repeat two times a day or every time it's itching. Keep warm (do not expose to cold).

But it's best if you just let the skin wet after washing and sprinkle the antibiotic and rub a little to get wet and turn into a paste without vaseline though some will fall on the floor whatever.

Take some vitamins including vitamin D. Eat a bone broth soup (for collagen). Probiotics whatever.

Don't do as i did, use Neosporin. Two of the three antibiotics in Neosporin are the most comon cause of allergies that in my case were the only reason of spreading the infection from one point to ten centimeters diameter in a few days and inside the skin and arm that in the end led to me paniking and going to the ER.

Warning. The antibiotic you use will go through your skin and build in your system as administering orally though about twice as efficient because of bypassing the liver, should not exceed maximum daily dosage (could be an alternative method of administering on a healthy piece of skin similarly with patches in case of severe stomach problems).



2:41 The dreaded oil change. To most people it's just one hour wasted time at dealer or Jiffy Lube. To me is 10 or 100 times more complicated than to normal people. Like everything else.

Two days ago i bought oil from Walmart (Mobile 1, synthetic, 20000 miles guaranteed, 27 bucks). I had a filter i bought earlier on Amazon. I also went under car and checked the filter to see if it's not over tightened (i got in trouble once, had to put the oil with the old filter and had to go to Jiffy Lube to remove the filter with a special tool, i could not with the same tool i put it on. But this time it was loose. Like coming from Jiffy Lube and dripping loose. Yesterday when i checked oil level i saw there was some missing but it's hard to say cause the place is not level.

Why i don't go to Jiffy Lube anymore. They always mess it up. From cheap oil to not tightening the filter and leaving oil everywhere and of course the big show, with special guest stars as other customers and employees, though believe me i would because of what i'm experiencing here in the parking lot. Again with the money i pay for a 3000 miles conventional oil i can buy the 20000 miles synthetic with lesser need to change it soon.

Easiest job for a mechanic, especially when removing the oil with a pump through the gauge hole. A small electric pump hooked to the battery will remove the oil in about 15 minutes if everything goes well without the mess (oil goes directly in a bottle) and the need of removing the oil pan plug that needs new washer and torquing.

But i need Angela to be here to watch around cause i'm getting too nervous about people parading or almost walking over my tools. So when she came i wanted to go change oil but i realized i didn't eat anything all day (as i can remember) and was getting dizzy and i started to eat. As for Angela, never seen a more tired human being. She could barely speak, not capable of any attention or judgement (after a week of forced useless overtime (she says they do the same in ten hours was they would in 8) and Saturday starting at 4 AM, 58 hours in total).

So i grabbed something while she was getting more and more tired and sleepy. But when i opened the door i saw "the veteran" and his wife (a red headed writer from Hungary) walking to the mailboxes. Many times in the past she acted like she was scared of me and need her husband to escort her. In the past, i had an episode when he yelled at me "quit following my daughter" which again was passing dressed in night clothes (gown, pajamas) to the mail boxes. I believe they were on a justifying schedule and could not wait any more and had to come out. If i didn't eat, "they would have caught me again" in the act.

Every time i change oil he comes out looking for trouble. Passing by, yelling, etc.. Thing is. It's not the same person. Her she is. But the guy were three or four different short bald guys until now.

But then i realized the oil might have cooled (it's hard to remove when cold with the thin hose) and drove around the block one time to get it back to temperature and saw they were in a van at the end of the alley, like waiting for me to start changing oil? Then i saw they turned the van 180, and Angela wanted to get over it (keep nagging her for about a month about needing to change oil) and i started to change it. Other things happened, the pump makes a bit of noise that is audible in the alley but not inside an apartment other than mine. It was half hour of pure terror. Because i was so nervous, i made some little mistakes that delayed me.

Needless to say. I poured in almost one quart of oil more than i took out. I would assume the missing oil was dripping from the loose filter and spraying on the exhaust, explaining why so many people driving in front of me with stinking cars in the last months, waiting at intersections or seeking to pass and smoke me.

As Angela fell asleep, 4 (four) kids came in the yard and started to play and yell.

One more thing. The new Mobile 1 20000 miles looks already colored, like the used one after a couple of thousand miles.

Will i ever have the chance to buy an electric car and not having to change oil?

3:56 COVID (Corona Virus Disease, remember) is over. Long live the King!

It was called corona because of its round shape with spikes. To me it will always be a mystery how you can cut a 100 nanometer "virus" in two so you can see the cross section at the electron microscope. How about four of them.

April 15

6:20 Can't sleep and some ideas came to me. A mental experiment. Within the Doppler effect with a moving source for an observer it appears the difference of speed between source and destination adds up to the speed of sound in the opposite direction of movement, if we still define speed as distance needed for something (waves) to travel in a certain amount of time, and in the case of Doppler effect time is the same for both front and rear waves, but the distances change.
According to Einstein, the speed of light for any observer does not change regardless of how the destination or source moves. Then how do we explain the Doppler effect on moving galaxies (the so called shifting towards red).

But it could be just my tired brain playing tricks on me.

8:15 Angela is coughing for months. Last time i drove at night i was alone for long distances and started the fan at 1 or 2 and never felt the smell of fresh air. It is the second time i committed to check if there was an exhaust leak like i had in the other Elantra and all my vehicles.

Today i woke up after 3 hours of sleep because of smell of dog poop (wanted to pick them last night but i here a big dog barking and they were a couple of people at the other side of the building). As i said other times, if i breath it all night then my intestinal makeup changes from human to dog. Can't say more here. Ok nevermind, my f...s smell like dog.
 
So when i saw light outside i went to check and my time was not wasted. After having some trouble removing the heat shield from the manifold (and found my long lost 10 mm 1/4" socket, couldn't have done it without it, got a deep 10 mm 3/8 but i can't maneuver it in the small space), i finally put a deep 12 mm on the nuts of the manifold and i was and was not very surprised in the same time to see the first one or easiest to reach, on the upper left side from mechanic's view, was about 1/8 of a turn loose.

So i put it all back together and checked the battery's  connectors, on top of which i had put some duct tape for keeping contaminants out, i saw on the plus side the tape was very easy to remove and that was also loose.

Then i started the car and felt a vibration and went to check and i found another loose one, on the nr.1 ignition coil which can be accessed without removing the engine's sound shield. I tightened all those about 2 weeks ago.

When i was putting back the last piece of tape that i took from inside and did not completely closed the door, thinking it will be a few seconds, i saw a shadow in my peripheral view and i thought it was Angela coming down the stairs, but Angela was in the shower and instead was this midget, a small person of mature age, that again is a guest star around here, she climbs at nr.3, dressed all in black sports or yoga like suit, passing casually between me and the stairs which is not a walking place (or coming down the stairs, can't tell). She looked slightly taller than the one i saw before acting the same role. Usually as a kid coming from school.

It's a deja vu. Every time i work at the car someone passes at least once through this unbelievably close  space between me and stairs, usually kids.

Thinking of eating but i'm nauseated by the dog poop smell. Waiting for Angela to come out of the bathroom to go and pick and throw those. But it's useless now. Should have done it last night.

8:57 Couldn't find any of those. Instead i found other objects that promote mold smell in the enclosed yard. An used kitchen sponge. Towels, food wrappers. A the no dumping place, a couple of red couches. Could they have been dumped after i wrote the above (shifting to red). They will stay here for days, until they will pick them and put them in the first garage beyond that wall. Eventually after it will rain upon and get wet. Then they hire some scavengers that come once a month and empty that garage full of fun.

Like usually, after i got outside the first time, within 10 minutes air traffic was diverted in this area and plane after plane flew buy with flaps on and engines revved (to create lift at low speed) making a sinister sound.

 9:08 What do i know. There is a building 4. Then there must be a building 5. So there must be an apartment 55. Why some buildings are numbered with letters and some with numbers, i don't know.

April 2nd

12:45 Heading towards replacing the clock spring for my Hyundai. Already ordered the part on eBay, new OEM genuine sealed in the box with 65 dollars. In the meantime i want to show my frustration here.

The other car i had was 10 years old when the clock spring went bad. 20 August 2022 or in the morning of the accident (Angela came home saying there's a lamp on the dashboard).

It is true, this car was in California near the ocean for two years where there is more corrosion from salt. Every time i go at the beach the brakes make a temporary squeaking noise. Excluding a real possibility of sabotage (my favorite, thinking of being smoked all the way to the beach Saturday).

(We got a new neighbor, but it's not only him. Every time we eat somebody starts a car with modified exhaust, and this morning one went up to one hour,  we decided to leave when it stopped. A couple of them started right now. One has stopped).

First time i asked google it picked this answer which seems the most realistic. There are a few online Hyundai dealers that sell the part for 200-300, and those sell at half price the local dealers do. If you order the part on ebay from Korea and are willing to wait a month, it will cost you 40, the real price. I ordered an new OEM one from ebay from an US vendor for 65 including shipping that gets here by the end of this week.

There is a video on youtube on how to replace it. The man did it with one hand while talking and filming with the other and the whole video is 13 minutes long. I am much slower as i take my time to think and look carefully around, so it will take me one hour or so (the man didn't even disconnect the battery, there's a small chance the bag will blow in your face). One hour is the time at the dealership as well.

March 26


12:57 Am actualizat iar postarea despre Schengen. Nu știu exact pentru ce a dat Tomac Consiliul în judecată, bănuiesc că aș putea să caut, însă motivul ar fi trebuit să fie Consiliul nu și-a respectat propria decizie de a vota statutul de pregătire (readiness) în septembrie 2011 (no later). Rămân la părerea că și Consiliul nu are nici un rol constituțional prevăzut în tratate în verificarea pregătirii (readiness). Pe de altă parte Comisia are numeroase roluri în implementarea și verificarea implementării legilor (tratatelor).

3:56 Last night on I5 i had problems with steering (it happens when the connectors of the battery get loose). In the parking lot at Ilani i found a loose connector which to me seems impossible in the newest setup. Last night i stayed at the car, fixed the connector, and and went to search for Angela inside. It's a two football fields size rectangular place with thousands of machines and people  and that's why i hate it. After about half hour i found her but the signal was strong in all the casino and i tried to convince her and left alone and waited in the car.

Next to me there was a pickup Youcon with and actual orange cone in the bed. Some guys passed and took the cone but the owner of the truck, a Japanese guy came and put another one. After a while they left and another car came, i didn't really pay attention. Before 6 the guy came to stay in the car. They were several guys all around waiting in cars for their partners to come from inside.

About half hour later Angela came, upset because she lost and pulled more money from a card. The guy asked her for a light for his cigarette. He was looking tall, thin and dressed with a flashy jacket. Blond but probably Japanese.

I started the engine and started to backup when he got out of the car, distracting me with his flashy appearance. After i backed up several feet and still taking glimpses of him i saw something in my peripheral view and hit the brakes. Another car that was backing up but coming from a side, parallel with the alley suddenly occupied the space behind me. Then the guy with the flashy jacket standing between my car and his made a sign, trying to stop me when i was already stopped.

Truth is he interfered because i was backing up very slowly being concerned with hitting his open door with the mirror.

Then we left while i was trying to tell Angela that was not a coincidence but some sort of cooperation between several people. And we had a tank 3/4 full of gas. On the freeway all the way to Portland all i did was pass stinking cars. One of them, a smaller SUV, had again a horizontal red light behind but was not a Police car. Again another blond guy who could have been Asian.

After i passed him, i realized he had very bright aftermarket lights and bad sho-shocks and his car was jumping and his lights were flashing as he drove behind me all the way home. Figuring a Police car escorting me while i passed all those cisterns downtown Portland?

11:15 Saturday 6 PM. We left and i insisted to go and wash the car because dirt from the hood was getting on the windshield. However it started to rain again and after i got on I5 i went out of windshield fluid. (Tried to buy something later at the gas station but they only have ... summer fluid, above 32 degrees so i just put some water in). I looked at google maps traffic and there was no big difference between the 2 miles jam on I5 and that on 205 and i took I5 which is 5 miles shorter on my way to Olympia, WA.

When we got at the bridge jam started to clear out and i noticed a 10-20 mW signal inside the car and could not see the tower where it was coming from and the meter was showing a cell phone?

Towards the end of the bridge i was driving in the left lane next to a grey minivan, either a Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sequoia or something similar. Cars so safe nobody ever died in an accident in one of those. I think i saw kids inside. The ninja at the wheel got too close to me and the shoulder in that area is one or two feet wide. Got as far a possible from him without crossing into it (don't know if he crossed the line, could not see, but i think he did).

Have no words and time to described the multitude of vehicles that were harassing us for the 120 miles to Little Creek. But every time i looked and the windows were not tinted i saw Asian people driving.

iSAGE Construction. The Emperor Hikikomori

All of a sudden, after weeks of "inactivity" the man upstairs decided to do laundry, just ahead of me. Shaking the building a bit. In the same time a heavy vehicle with modified exhaust, like there are at least ten around our building was started on demand, shaking the walls "as needed".

Yesterday i discovered the clock on the wall next to window in the kitchen area was hanging on a screw that became loose. It was right before they came to "fix" the windows they replaced last summer that i replaced the battery for that clock and the screw was ok.

What happens is at vibration, dust from walls gets pumped into the breathing space here, now by that screw. Even right now when the upstairs washer is in a spin cycle it is possible that by that screw dust gets pumped in here by from inside the pulsating walls.

But i suspect there's more. The shape of the apartment is very similar to the one in Lake Oswego. That is for reusing the same supercomputer model for directing sharp dust, other things in different corners of the floor plan, as needed, when needed. Different frequencies make different walls vibrate and direct the dust. This way only one person may be affected inside the same space.

So i was thinking to use my air quality monitor i bought a few years ago online. As advertised, it is made by recycling a couple of sensors taken out of a SHARP air purifier. Actually a couple of laser diodes alright that illuminates dust that sparkles and can be counted, but it can be only accessed through a phone app. That i decided not to use anymore.

Was thinking. What a waste of resources. It is a piece of electronics that is competing with more expensive items. Proving we don't need those more expensive items. It does the same things, counts particles with two laser diodes.

But the only way you can use it is through an app that connects with bluetooth. Got bluetooth on laptop but don't have the app and i quit using the phone.

Not that i'm convinced those are useful anymore. I mean, it does count particles when there's smoke outside. Numbers that are comparable with those from any of the networks that monitor air quality. Obviously not the same, the values cannot be the same from one station to another, from one address to another. Comparable.

So when i was using it outside i was getting some readings, comparable with the networks. So what. Was that of any use to me at all? Are those at any use to anybody? I mean, i take the reading, then what?

Who knows. People owning the devices in large numbers could possibly discourage polluters? But we have a few networks of sensors both private and governmental that can be accessed online and get the same readings.

Yes i bought it because i knew about the indoor pollution with insulation dust, mold, other particles. I tried to get readings to see if i can prove anything but guess what. Insulation dust falling from walls due to its nature does not fly or stay suspended in the air. It is pretty heavy compared to other dusts of the same size.

You have to be right under the hole to breath it. Or the hole needs to be in the direction of an air flow, like from under door or a crack by a window. Vibration needs to be sustained. When the vibration stops, you won't get a reading. And that as i said it is being controlled.

As i said the sensors count flashes of dust within the path of a laser. It is all it does. Counts. Can't tell the difference between a flash from a piece of dead skin, ash from burning stuff like cigarettes or sharp silica. For that you would need much more sophisticated devices but i doubt they exist, work or can be calibrated and used meaningfully in our indoor environment.

In other words, we are back to the story with one crazy throwing a rock in a pond. Only trouble is they are not fools. This is a design element only fools can believe it escaped the construction engineers. Using brittle, irregular volcanic mineral insulation inside empty walls that vibrate like tents every time a heavy vehicle passes by. And BTW, all it takes is one hole of the size of a needle.

It is the same old technique of splitting perception. The majority of people does not design these buildings, they only use them. And the engineers (and architects) are long gone, if they existed, as being the same ghosts from Japan or Hungary. All the buildings have been designed long time ago, and the banks can only offer you variants. There are little or no discussions about it period.

Most people would think. There are too many those who use them, could not possibly be dangerous. How can a little dust falling from a crack or forgotten hole in a wall can harm me? How my neighbor having fun with his 5.7 liter hemi playing a bit the trumpet (ok, tuba) could harm me?

Didn't really want to write about all these. I'm just too tired of it. But i promised myself after thinking yesterday for hours. Got to let people know what's happening.

Don't know exactly how SAGE construction have been chosen by the management or the owner of the complex. I know it came after a post about the succession of ice ages i once wrote about. Ice Age. Sage. First they came and did a little siding work and lots of noise for several months. Then the next year, re-do some of it, painting, etc.. Then windows. Now they came after 6 months to re-do some of their own work on windows, on this building and the one across.

Last summer i noticed one of the guys of one of the SAGE subcontractor (BZ Construction i guess) that BTW all look like Japanese disguised in Mexicans, was looking like the Emperor of Japan himself. Kinda making faces and fussing around, like a moody sun god would do.

So was earlier this month, this time J&S or J&L. Again right after me writing something about the emperor they didn't like, got a one week 24 hours notice of entry, but they came on the first day. Installed a noisy generator and a compressor at my door that stay for the whole week. One of them noticed there was a missing screw (from the latch of the window) they installed last summer. Missing from factory. How come they didn't see it back then.

Then the guy who looked like the emperor went and brought the screw, obviously taken from a different window somewhere. He came and showed it to me ceremoniously, "here is you screw". I did not watch them all the time. To them all it could have take was a few seconds to enlarge the hole for the clock screw, ft away. Think of the symbolism.

Clock, time, sun, screw.

Two more weeks of vibration that brought me to my knees. Coughing, at times phlegm, abdominal pain, nausea, dark urine. I did not check because i was positive i did not miss one single tiny hole in here. Until last night.

About a week after i fixed the newly created cracks at the sliding doors they just fixed. Then i examined carefully everything they've done. But i never thought they would touch something else, like the screw from the clock. But it was too tempting, due to symbolism.

In the same time, somehow the water got stolen from the p trap valve in the wall from the washer. Three days of exposure to sewer gas. Just did laundry, the water got siphoned, place filled with sewer smell.

I'm writing all theses with great effort and pain, hoping people would start to understand what is really happening in Portland, Oregon, and generally Western United States. Similar situations everywhere i been, like Washington, Nevada, etc.. Every single public person, every single news are fake and people have long gone and replaced with hikikomori from Japan and for occasions, actors from Hungary.
