Have You Ever Been Grilled?

Before last weekend i went to wash the car, knowing it had accumulated some invisible dust on it. I assumed the dust went with the water, in the grill and then in the drain under the car. However, it settled there and dried.
In my way to Spirit Mountain, Lincoln City i noticed some shortness of breath. Symptom that has accompanied me for a long time in the last 30 years or so, on an off with times when it lead me to... mental hospitals (cause it was all in my mind, they said). Like the LPN on the SUB Я U in the picture below.
From Lincoln City to Florence i started to feel weird while driving, had some mild hallucinations (i called them fantasies) in a parallel process in my brain. I thought i was under the influence of dog poo at home, tired, because i didn't sleep enough the night before. In Florence it woke me up a fire engine flashing and sirening and everything. I pulled on the right in a pile of broken glass i failed to see. When i got at the casino, no matter how tired i was, i checked the tires, then i went inside. After seeing all kinda weird scenes, including the digital guy with a hamster on his hat who died the next day in the news, i went back in the car and tried to get some sleep. I was awakened about ten times, like in the second i fell asleep, someone put the headlights in my eyes, walked by, looked at me to see if i'm dead, etc., yelling, trumpetting exhausts. Then i called Angela and told her i wanted to go home. To my surprise she came right away and we left.

However the car started to make the sound that i now associate with gasoline contaminated with water. Water in gas clogs the fuel filter, reducing pressure at the injectors, which in turn don't get enough gas to wash the valves that get blow-by-oil from the PCV and the valves start to stick, squishing the lifters, foaming the oil and giving you bad emissions which translates in vibrations, poor driveability and temporary pulsating opening at the exhaust manifold seal, which may end in the cabin through leaks by the grille and seal.

All these made possible by lower than normal voltage at the fuel pump, due to a badly designed battery connector.

On the road, on a hunch i stopped to check the cabin filter and besides being dirty and stinky, it had some engine oil on it. Which i have no idea how could had gotten in there. Removing that one but mostly driving with the windows open got me to Lincoln City. On the right, the previous filter which i saved with the box to find a new one easier in the store. However i started to order it on Amazon, and i already got it, because there you can know when you bought it last time.
Angela said she wanted to go to the restroom, it was half hour before closing time, however she went in and played and lost a couple of hundred dollars (my estimate). Then she drove to Spirit Mountain. Then she went inside, lost some more money and i slept in the car for 4 hours. It's been two days and i still feel weird. Today i found an almost microscopic piece of wood in an invisible area of my belly skin that i extracted with some tweezers using some old lens as magnifying glass. The infection around it started to subside.

Tonight i remembered about the hole in the grill with the missing retainer i saw yesterday when i finally washed the dust on the grill last night. I saw it before and ignored it. Went outside to put some tape on it, checked the symmetric area of the grill and what do i see.

The plastic grill is interrupted, and there is some sort of lid that allows you to feel the master cylinder brake reservoir (When i did brakes, i added some fluid, from under the grille, no problem, didn't even notice that lid). Dust around it, the foam seal has melted long time ago allowing the area from under the hood to communicate with the cabin through the grill. The whole plastic grill is brittle because of heat, i broke a retainer when i tried to close that lid but that doesn't make a difference (foam seal melted anyways, thing was leaking), especially for the 2+2 miles Angela drives to work and back. Tomorrow i need to study the whole area and add some silicone, but that grille is toasted, needs replacement.
What else do i need to say. The engine filter that was changed in the same time with cabin or before, looks like new.

Day after. The thing has a foam seal but it does not seal by design and/or installation. You open it and  you're done. How can you prove it wasn't you who caught that foam in the edge when putting it back? Can see in the left the heat shield of the exhaust. Heat radiated by that side of the engine will ensure cooking of the grill.

Carbon monoxide from tiniest exhaust leak, oil and dust burning on the exhaust would have you daydream from Portland to Coos Bay and back.
Here it is visible it wasn't done recently. I didn't know of when i've done brakes, and i was the first to do it at this car. Design. The small area by the retainers is not sealed because of the shape of the retainers, not being solid. Why use two different materials, foam and rubber to seal the same area?
The day after i complained about dust they started the work across the street from the parking lot at Eaton which continues to this day. Don't know what that soil is but try to imagine what it does when it burns on the exhaust.

March 5th

2:30 Can't remember, i think Spirit Mountain Casino has about 2500 machines with a similar max rate of occupancy, for comparison, the newer Ilany, just north of Portland has close to 10000 (but it looks like an industrial installation or a sweat shop in China). The average occupancy at SM is around 1000. So what i'm going to say is going to shock you more. There are over 1000 security cameras at Spirit Mountain, or on average one per customer.

If one would ask him/her self why so many, the answer is certain not for security. For that, about 50 cameras or 20 per customer would suffice.

There is another, much more troubling reason and it has to do with the business itself. I googled earlier, and the number for a strip area Vegas casino is 2000 security cameras.

But wait. One camera does not watch one machine only. When you sit there you are being watched by several cameras, from different angles. Of course, there is nobody behind walls of monitors to do this. Every move or blink of an eye or temperature change is fed to computers and analyzed. They have supercomputers and AI to do the job. And the job is to know how you feel in every second so they know what to throw at you and what to keep.

For those who don't know. Most machines have stop and go buttons. That means, you put in your 5 or 20 b bill and press the button and spend 40c or 60c or one dollar etc. for one hand and then you have a choice. You can press the button again and stop the reels yourself or let the machine stop them for you which takes more time and it's not so much fun. So you watch the reels and press the button when you think you just saw the beginning of a good combination or the end of a bad one or when you feel. Needless to stay, it's just an illusion, the time needed for the reels to stop after you saw and pressed the button is too long and the combinations are unpredictable. But some times they will give it to you nevertheless, to keep the illusion alive. If you start and stop the reels, they will detect when you get too tired to follow and stop and will fill the screen with wilds, before you have time to react and then you will try at least ten more (loosing) hands  until they will give you a small amount. In short it's a game of waiting and analyzing emotions and optimizing how they separate you from your money in the most pleasant way.

Does it have anything to do with gambling? Are the combinations random? (in a reasonable way, theoretically no machine can generate randomness, only God can, but it can be simulated pretty close to).

Of course not, but they invented the Indian territory solution so there is absolutely no legislation or definitions or anything that can regulate what the're doing. But make no mistake, it's no Indians, it's the same sharks that control everything.

7:08 But why media outlets can't verify, they evacuated from Ukraine too? However, they can come up with things like these... Maria of Donbas hits again, under a new zero (90) name...

7:59 Off Piste... Japanese believe not having sex before battle brings one bad luck... But could it work the opposite way... Prevent your enemy from having sex (before all battles) so it will bring him bad luck?

8:08 Could this be the reason they brought the huge rocks in the complex in front of every building? Are those my enemies too? Truth is i don't like them... When they brought them first time i went and knocked on them to see if the're not ninja in disguise. But to this day i'm not sure... The place now gets filled with smoke or mole mold, got to go outside and see. Found a mound around the corner in front of the other apartment (took a picture but it came blurry because i was so nervous and moved the phone (was that tree bonsaied to make it look like a snake?)). Stretched my legs to step on it without getting in front of their window. Came back only to see in disbelief the Mercedes stretching sign on the rear windshield of the floating van, leaving. (The floating van is an old white van with Japanese people inside that on top of everything else moves around the complex and at times is parked in the alley in front of the building. One day i thought they were homeless, but their appearance varies continually according to show needs).

9:13/7:13 (Pick at you... Cred că încep să devin răutăcios, după ce am stat atât de mult printre ei...)

9:35 Aha. Animated dolls have souls.

1:51 We both slept until now as no more smoke came in today, something that didn't happen in a long long time if ever here at this place. Planning to go to blow the area above filter under grill, as last night i took some pictures with a snake camera and found more "peanuts" as we call them or pieces of dog food remaining after i cleaned that area in November and also some hairs. While searching for the post with that story, one older forgotten story surfaced, that with the grill at the old car (it's good to blog). Now i started to ask myself if they're related (i mean they arranged the car and the auction for me, not a lot of trouble if it's all one single organization). Also this morning someone passed by and put some mineral insulation flakes on the windshield, to create another story, cause i wanted to go somewhere to borrow a hose with compressed air to blow under the grill to remove those few remaining pieces cause they got contaminated by the dead mouse i found in the engine's fan box and the car keeps stinking like a dead animal, making me sick and the smell also propagated lately inside, capisci? BTW now i'm really glad i quit fb cause there there was no ways to put links in the text like this (or do searches like this) which BTW is as easy as selecting the word(s) to click on and, right clicking and pasting the address of the linked page from browser's address box (next to reload button that looks like a recycle sign upper left). But i dread getting in the car again and going to search for a place with compressed air cause now i know why i'm getting sick in the car and ready to vomit and Angela doesn't want to come with me.

4:14 Did you know that you can make one gallon of windshield cleaner with a few ounces of rubbing alcohol and a few drops of liquid soap? Rubbing alcohol will also drop the freezing point. I just did, but with this which also repels water, i removed the grill from the car but my phone's battery was too low to take a picture directly inside that duct, scores of people organizing shows, Japanese models vacuuming cars inside engine compartment for hours, Hungarian kids yelling like crazy or like swallowed alive by giant snakes. But when Angela's long time planned beets soup was ready and i came to eat, the guardian angel upstairs started to flap his wings hit the floor with his hooves. Now a very loud exhaust roaring.

November 5

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

I saw many things in my life, but this.

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

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

9:27 Air quality index here has passed 100 and it's really bad inside and can't find anything in the news as why.

9:28 CovoodooLumea se vaccinează.

10:36 On AQI site air quality switched from above 100 to moderate. I went earlier outside. Smoke imitating wildfire smoke was only between buildings. If i went 10 meters away in front of the balcony there was no smoke. They were a few fresh mole galeries and holes. I stepped on those and smoke started  to disappear. What can i say. Minutes ago i heard a huge exhaust noise. Every time that happens, new smoke and holes appear. Got to go check.

10:54 Now the smoke switched to the areas it wasn't before and there is none between building. Apparently someone passes with a dog and a stick and pushes something into the ground. To cover everything the woman at the balcony at Apt 4 started to smoke while talking very loud on the phone in Spanish.

11:08 Unprecedented demand

11:52 Has Carla's dreams, with their masks, anticipated "COVID". Is Carla's dreams a blackface act. Some of the motifs on their faces remind me of Australian Aboriginal art. All of the above or worse


6:43 Ok so let me explain why i posted the image above ("exposing my friends"). When i came from the walk on the beach i was pretty mad at those guys of course because of the smoke. So i pointed the phone's camera onto them when they guy with whatever invisible face bent over and showed me his butt in a perfect masonic square position. So i would have missed the message altogether of which i had no idea until later and after i turned back (the reason the cliff is visible) to take the second set of pictures (of course for reason of not being able to upload the ones whith his butt). It was only then when he stood in vertical position showing me his face which of course i couldn't see becaues of the distance, and having those pixels somehow stuck in my subconscious memory until they popped out (trigger by whatever, the motivation of the games). It is my belief he his 100% one of them and 30% posing as one of you guys. The story of my life, they would many times give up some just to gain more, in this case me loosing credibility and potential help, they probably predicted already with their supercomputers or superintelligence that after going through my intense visual memories of the previous day i would have figured it out by myself.

7:05 Nevermind, i only believed he turned his back on me, however, i still could not see his face from that distance, subconscious or not. So if i didn't turn around from that cliff to take other pictures i couldn't have seen it. But he still showed it to me. Maybe i was wrong and did expose him. But i uploaded the picture within one minute like i do lately with all of them, without knowing. Yeah i know, much fewer people watch those on drive, but those who retaliate certainly do.

Anyways, anybody believe they should finally do something to defend selves and their own, other than following all these in disbelief? (Can't... hold... much... longeeeeeeer...!).
9:28/7:28 România are o întreagă clasă politică, de bogați și de vedete formată din actori și scriitori unguri. Chiar și regizori.

9:57 Have you checked your dishwasher lately? When i came yesterday from Spirit Mountain i put some food in bowls and started to eat and noticed this weird smell of the bowl. (I didn't notice it before because i'm used to all the smells in the apartment). Today i finally decided to take those two screws from the grill off and what did i see.

I used the dishwasher for the last few months because it saves me time, and the grill was cleaned by me before that. Yes i cook and use dishes a lot. So what you see in the pictures is a few months of normal usage with available "top brands" detergents (by example lately i found a cheap laundry detergent at WinCo that works on laundry of course better than the expensive brands). It was much worse when i first cleaned it. I also tried to clean the edges of the lid and two pieces of rubber (stoppers) came out again exposing more slime ( didn't know of those before). There is more in a cavity under the bottom of the lid, unseen in the picture. Put the grill, the rubber pieces inside and started a washing cycle to see if they get cleaned. I even asked google.
11:01 Ingannare. Krautrock. Whatever that is. Dog food? I don't believe it.

11:48 Igor Dodon

I found my (dream) car Friday, auction was Monday. Could have bought membership at IAA for 200 dollars,i hesitated to do the days before, thinking i could find one at Copart where membership was only 60 dollars, however there was not enough time, so i called this guy who's got a dealer's authorization and was referred to me recently and never met before, to bid for me.
12:48 Don't know why but i done it before. Before i go to bed, relax, scroll down on my blog with faces and reminisce.

Can't possibly remember every face i put on the blog, i have over 1000 and i do daily searches on hundreds of faces. But when i saw this guy it suddenly hit me like i saw him recently.

Got 6000 from Progressive and the rest of the money including dealer's fees up to 7400 so far were paid with money from credit cards.

Now i'm wondering how legal is the title above and what i'm gonna do and what the're gonna do (how the're gonna "punish" me) besides the damage they already done to my car at least twice.

Probably as legal as anything in this country.

Got so mad, i dressed up and went for a walk. When i got back, a few Japanese guys crawled from their holes and started to manifest, like spitting behind my back and coughing very loud.

Last of the Hyundai

April 2018. We bid on a car at Copart. Like IAA, it's a place where insurance companies sell the totaled cars after they pay their customers the market value. They usually specify the areas where the car was damaged. This one has been listed as  "minor scratches and damages". We saw the car prior at the auction lot, together with one hundred others. Did not realize the car was actually in an accident, partially fixed and put back in auction and sold again at a higher price. I paid a total of 45 hundred dollars, including Copart fees.

When i went and picked it at the auction site, the car was driveable, but was making a weird noise at the engine. The mud cover on the right front was damaged, the fender was not holding in place, battery was almost dead and 5 years old. Serpentine belt was bent by a foreign object that gut between belt and pulleys at the time of the accident. When i got home i found in the trunk the broken windshield washer reservoir and the right headlight. Car was painted on the right side, with the right door and fender damaged. It was unclear if the right door airbag was still functional, though no dashboard light was on.

They were some sort of crystals on the windshield and hood, maybe from car being driven behind a de-icer that did not go away after a year or something, impairing visibility. Nr.1 and 2 cylinders had spark plug loose (0 torque) and there was oil in the cylinders and on the threads and inside the spark plug wheels. The shoulder at the bottom of the spark plug wheels  where the washers of the spark plugs seal sit was damaged and it was impossible to seal the spark plug when torquing it. Exhaust was leaking by the spark plugs in the engine compartment. Hood was bent (never fixed) and was not touching the seal with exhaust coming through the air intake grill in the cabin. There was oil in the the cylinders and on the spark plug threads.

3 years of struggle followed, with me working at the cars for hours, several days a week.

First went to Beaverton Hyundai and bought a battery and had it installed. Bought there a serpentine belt and installed it. Bought on Amazon a 6 mm diameter camera (about 20 bucks) to look inside the cylinders where i did not see piston slap damage but oil.

I tried to wipe the spark plug threads with balls of cotton soaked in alcohol, but they were not holding.
 
Designed and build in a machine shop a tool to resurface the shoulders of the spark plug holes. Finally torqued the spark plugs. Ordered a mud cover for right front on ebay and installed it. Ordered a windshield washer reservoir and installed it. Straightened the hood by stepping on it while hood semi-open, several times over the years. Did not realize the plastic grill was still leaking in several places by design, until about a week before the accident. Over 3 years i drove the car from 35 k to almost 100, while breathing exhaust inside the cabin, though less and less.

Did not realize the battery connectors could not be tightened enough, and were constantly getting loose, again by design, with battery never fully charging, until i bought a plug in USB charger with a digital voltmeter and because of needing jump starts several times after exhausting the battery with radio and fan in parking lots i also bought a 40 dollars 10000 mah li-ion smart jump starter on Amazon.

There was foam in the oil indicating sticky valves and squishy lifters. Tried to use some valve cleaner for the noise and injector cleaner additive inside the tank. As that wasn't working, i tried to clean the throttle body when i saw the inside of the composite intake manifold, which was installed in front of the compartment, or the left side of the engine, which was oily.

I tried and used a 3/8 piece of vinyl tube connected to a vacuum cleaner and pulled from the intake ounces of oil. It was  then when i realized that oil from the PCV was condensing inside the cold manifold that was installed in front of the engine compartment and pooling at the bottom of the intake which was installed upside down, by design, with the bottom bellow the runners, unlike any car i seen before. From there, oil was trickling up the runners, burning on valves and making them sticky, especially at number one cylinder. More oil was getting inside the cylinder, lubricating the piston rings unevenly, contaminating spark plugs, etc..

I pulled the injectors and tried to clean them applying voltage and some solvent from a spray can. Can had twice the pressure of the fuel and blew the injectors microfilters. I had to buy new injectors from dealer, for 400 bucks.

Over the years, i designed and installed several versions of catch cans on the PCV circuit, trying to minimize the amount of oil that gets in the intake which i was vacuuming "regularly" with a device i designed myself, made of a piece of tubing and a mat pump. With the last version of the catch can i could not vacuum oil from the intake anymore, there was none left.

A few months ago i bought an Exide battery and installed it and the noise was gone for a few hours. That was until the nuts at the connectors got loose again. Weeks before the accident i degreased the connectors together with the 8 bolts and nuts that were around the battery connectors and sealed the nuts on top with some adhesive. The voltage on the plug in charger with digital voltmeter was finally showing 14.3 volts while driving, 14.1 while idling. In the day of the accident, the noise was almost gone.

The noise was coming from the nr.1 cylinder or the furthest on the fuel rail, where fuel had not enough pressure because of low voltage at the fuel pump and injector was dripping,  causing uneven washing of the cylinder, with probably some slap while the engine cold, and not enough fuel washing the oil condensed on runner and trickling on valve, which was not getting washed enough because of low voltage at the fuel pump, making the valve stick and the lifer squish oil which was foamy. One cylinder working less than others meant vibration at the engine which meant poor driveability at high speed.

When i did rear brakes, a couple of years ago, i saw the indicators for pad wearing were bent and acting like springs, pushing the pads on the rotor, diminishing mileage.

Over the years, the car was doing an average of 35 mpg on the freeway and @20 in stop and go traffic. The car was quite comfortable to drive, due to soft suspension and many options, including working AC, bluetooth and satellite radio (which we did not subscribe for). In the days prior to the accident it was in its best shape ever, with smooth running engine, good driveability and almost no noise.

On August 19 Angela told me on the phone she had a flat. On the same tire there was another, several months ago when i got it fixed at Les Schwab in Lake Oswego. When she got home, i found low pressure in right rear, enough to trigger the sensor, put the tire in the tub full of water and didn't see any bubbles. I took the tire, for precaution, at the same Les Schwab shop in Lake Oswego.

There i spoke to a guy who resembled the current Finance Minister of Romania. Of course i didn't realize right away. Inside there was this Hungarian opera singer who acted like Phil Wick, Les Schwab's CEO after the death of Les Schwab.

The Romanian guy called me inside the shop which didn't happen in a long time, i went reluctantly after he called me a couple of times and showed me a tire similar to mine that had a damaged rim for about 1/6 length of the whole rim. He told me if it was from a previous installation which was in the same shop and asked me if wanted a new tire, i asked him if he had Michelin, the brand that was originally on car when i got it, he said no, if he can get it by tomorrow, he said we should talk in the morning, he had the number on my record, he then put the tire back on the wheel, inflated it and the wheel in the trunk. He insisted to put it there himself. This car doesn't come with a spare, though it has the space for it in the trunk. I found one at the junkyard, from a Ford that fitted. Though spare was new, the car was not driving the same as with the original wheel, especially at high speeds on the freeway. In the same evening i re-ordered a couple of tires similar to those in front which i changed more than a year ago, similar to the original ones. They were scheduled to arrive Monday, however they came Saturday morning or the day after the accident.

Friday evening i drove to Ilany, after both of us changed our mind, first Angela, then me, not to go that evening. 40 miles one way, had some difficulty driving, the car was drifting a bit, they were lots of drivers with weird LPN like KGB harassing us, as usually in the last few years. So i had to go with the speed limit.

In that day when she came from work she said she saw a light on the dashboard, it was the light showing something wrong with the airbags.

At midnight 20/21 i was coming back doing 60 in a 60 area on cruise control (which is kinda slow i recon). I was in the middle lane, because i was close to the interstate bridge where i don't want to drive on side lanes. Suddenly i noticed i was surrounded by a group of cars, left, right and behind. I saw in the mirror the lights from behind approaching at high speed, probably 20 over the speed limit. I could not change lanes, though the cars left and especially right might have slowed down in that moment, living me alone. Thing is i can't remember, because it all happened very fast. All i know is in my mind i had few options except to tell Angela to brace for impact and probably i accelerated in the last few seconds, reducing the difference in speed between the vehicles. For one second i thought he gave up then he accelerated too and i felt the impact. I was pushed forward at higher speed while all the other cars in the group fell behind. When i realized i still had control of the car i looked, the right lane was free, i veered right, stopped on the shoulder and tried to see his LPN. However when he passed he was surrounded by the other cars. All i could see was the tail of a huge white Ford pickup with the letters 4x4 on the tail. I took a picture of the car which was pretty damaged but still driveable (in the end, after talking to the cops who called a towing company who didn't want to go that far, calling our own towing that wasn't calling back, i drove the 22 miles from there to home, on right lane, and i had to pull over at least one time because of a truck that was coming again threatening from the rear).

The Washington State police came within 5 minutes. The cop looked bored and interested in a car that zoomed at high speed. He left the front lights on onto my car and i could not see his face. He said i should not drive the car back home cause it could not take another hit like that, which in the end almost happened. However, i do remember he looked like this guy.

He then agreed to drive before me (while another Police SUV came from behind, following me) and pilot me to a safe place. He exited the freeway than choose a street with poor illumination, near a property called G&G in the Minnehaha neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington, 2 miles away from Columbia river and Oregon.

There he asked me to write on a form called SUSPECT/WITNESS statement what happened and sign it. Then he asked me this question. What happened right after the impact? Because only those who survived such impact know what happens. The speed of your vehicle increases and that of the vehicles who hit you decreases. I think it was a test question. However, he did not write on the report "hit and run" which could have triggered a call for potential witnesses in the media.

Then he called their contracted towing company which came but refused to tow us "because of the distance". So i called the insurance, but the menus where such designed i had to file the claim first which meant an almost one hour conversation with the insurance claims rep. The cop left, the towing left and we were all alone on the dark street. I had to pee in a bottle i had in the thank that was crushed by the accident. The towing was not coming, i tried to call insurance again, got lost in menus and then i decided to drive back home. As i got on the freeway at around 2 AM, towing called saying they are within 10 minutes distance.

This week dust was off the scale here. Intestinal inflammation and from there, everywhere in my body. Pain. They didn't come yesterday, due to holiday Monday so i had to wait one more day to hose it down. They didn't come today at the usual time and i thought they will not come at all so i went and hosed everything. I let the AC on and went to pick Angela. When i was exiting the complex, i saw them getting the mowers off the trailers. The dust came here, blown by the AC. Then i hosed everything one more time.

Two days ago i drizzled at night. There is little doubt in my mind they can control the weather. It drizzled just enough to wash the dust from the air. Everybody in Portland area knows. Then Dave Saleski came on TV to say, don't wash your car today cause tomorrow it's gonna be one more. No it wasn't.

Few people are aware how air gets inside the cabin. Me i was ignoring this for a long time. From the comfort of your chair you push a button and voila! You get fresh spring cherry blossom smell or autumn decaying leaves. Kidding. Mostly exhaust from other cars and dust. That because of the crappy stupid design of the cabin air intake. When i first came to US i wanted a car so badly i didn't care about. I bent my hood by forgetting it unlocked and driving more that 40 mph. That broke the contact at the seal. I was still ignoring it. That car was leaking oil at the valve cover gasket badly and that oil was getting on the engine, burning there and there was so much of it i was actually getting high if not hallucinating. Together with the broken radiator, where i was just adding coolant mixed with water.

Now that i know. I analyzed with my today's mind and all i can say is it is not acceptable. Just look at this picture representing air flow around the car. Cabin air intake is at the bottom of the windshield, between windshield and hood. Hood rests on a rubber seal that is supposed to stop anything that might be leaking or even dust settled in the engine compartment to get in the grill next to it. But too many times that seal breaks, bents or the rubber gets old and doesn't ensure contact, especially at vibrations. Besides cool things coming from engine compartment, the big problem is the dust that settles on the hood. High speed air flow due to motion of the vehicle washes that dust which gets inside. If the fan is stopped, some of the dust settles right past the grill, in those intake pipes, and when you start it, you get it all the same. I know most cars today have cabin filters, but those, besides being very permissive, nothing like the HEPA filters in our homes, (otherwise, being small, would clog right away and overload the DC fan), long maintenance intervals (30k) inevitably get contaminated and slowly release in time all the stuff they accumulated.

I saw one day a guy with a snorkel for air cabin intake. Back then i thought he was crazy, now i think that is the only way a car should go.

Nevermind, actually opened some of the search results. Those snorkels are for engine intake, to use in dusty areas. Engines of course are more precious than we.
7:40 Just raised from bed and crawled to the computer. Got it bad with my hip. I think inflammation due to dust (metsubushi) is a big part of it, rest could be bad posture due to psychosomatic influences, cold air from the cheap cold air blower some including me, use for AC. I was watching again Jeopardy. No i don't believe random and unrelated memory calls can do any good to you, associations is what could make sense of someone's memory and culture. (Why Jeopardy?).

Have you ever talked to someone on the phone and had the feeling that you could actually figure how he/she looks? Haven't watched TV in years, had no idea who the man was, but when i saw him today hosting the show i said to myself. That's it! It's him, the guy whom i talked to on the phone recently. This, other details and juicy real life (mine) true stories, most likely in a few days from now.

10:08 I wanted to go out for a walk. The moment i opened the door, the guy upstairs who is probably simulating watching a recorded match, yelled. Puta, mierda. He did that before many times, especially during European soccer championship, when i was posting something.

December 4

6:04 Can't sleep, woke up at 4, went and flatented some mounds, but i smell like camfor from some ointmennt i put on my right knee that hurts from who knows how i moved when i was stoned and worked on car Friday night. Which smell prevents me from sleeping, don't want to take a shower cause i will wake Angela. Also drank like 1.5 liter of water and i'm still thirsty, was dehidrated, i think my body is trying to flush that stuff that was in the air Friday night and alochol i drank last night.

So i just came and did a search because i wanted to post something. It's called air intake grill cowl panel. The panel between windshield and hood that i removed last night from car and washed with a brush, detergent and showerhead. Ever wondered what's under that panel, for a 4 year old car? This is what it is. Mud that after it dries turns into dust and gets into the filter that filter is not a HEPA filter and some will pass into the cabin.
Friday night i just removed one out of the 4 clips (2 broke today when i removed them all Saturday from being britle from being close to exhaust heatshield) and got to the three bolts of the strut on right (left in image), but i saw the dirt. Wiped as much as i could on top of that strut, it was much dirtier. That's what it takes, press with a small Philips on top center of the clips and the two nuts on windshield arms, to remove them. But that is a different story. For that i had to order a tool on Amazon (which BTW came in less that 24 hours), and even with that it was difficult, because only the driver of the windshield arm had splines. The arm itself was just instaled on the driver with conic shape and splines and the splines got indented on the arm. So it became stuck from the start. No chance to remove them without that tool without risking damage. It is true i took the panel (and ordered the tool) just to clean the dirt but now i saw i can get the top nut of the strut, the one i couldn't on the "bench" (kitchen floor that is), before even i remove the strut. Loosen it a bit that is. Cause there is no load on that nut when the vehicle doesn't move when the strut shaft moves up and down, right? Missing part on the air filter hole, most likely another grill that prevents stuff like leaves that pass the panel on the sides (so much for a "tight" design that alows air to get in the to the filter housing. I guess it was removed when they put in the dog food, didn't bother to put it back on). And yes, there is still bad smelling dog food yellow dust all over the engine compartment, after i cleaned with a brush, dry and wet, several times.

1:58 Took a Zyrtec and slept a lot. When i woke up my pain in the knee was so great i could barely move around. Watched a movie which i haven't done in years. Smoke came in, now the pain is gone but i'm afraid to do anything cause if the smoke is kratom, that is a pin killer and by moving could damage the knee even further. Went outside, stepped on mounds.

4:34 I done it. With the monster tool i bought online. That thing is heavy and strong but it did the job. 78 bucks, 450 lbs, though corded. Trouble with smoke again. Alternating cigarette smoke with kratom. I don't feel nothing but a small sore at the knee. Hope i'm going to be able to walk after this. And one trick. When Angela came briefly outside there was this Asian woman with a dog accross the alley who didn't pick and Angela went off, being under smoke influence, without realizing i was working on car too. I think it was all a provocation.
Done it. One of the most anticipated events in the last week. I reviews in my mind over and over how i'll do it.

Installed the strut on the car, camber changed more than 2 degrees, looks like is around specs, did a test drive, don't hear that terrible tire noise anymore. The spring compression screws which i got for 26 on bucks on Amazon work. However, there's a very little window of positioning those at least for these struts. It took me 3 attempts in as many hours to assemble the new strut with the spring but in the end i did it. No surprises with fittment on the car. I was telling Angela. If i went to a dealer here, the only ones who got a strut of similar quality with this one, would have cost me 400 parts and 300 labor for one side or at least 500 at Les Schwab with their own brands and i've done it with 92 from Amazon with Monroe. Could have bought the OEM ones on the same site i got the CV shafts for 280 but what if they crack again being the same as originals. Plus the satisfacation and assurance that i've done it right. Bonus was opening the can of worms that was under the panel (first picture). The one on the right, though cracked, is not that critical because is not so much out of alignment. Got two in the locker today, ordered two by mistake thinking they fit both sides but i don't think i will do it in the next few days or until my knee heals. No i was wrong. Last time when i saw a movie was at the end of the season of Expansy when i binged viewed them all. Needless to say. The next weekend i bumped into that actor, main character, Steven Strait. Did they restart with season VI or something?

October 28

12:33 PM Again a few of the giants with enormous market cap drag the market up today. Wondering if we could eliminate those from the index, how the rest up to 500 of S&P 500 would look.

12:44 Jinsei is the name of the Japanese man upstairs.

12:55 What is total market capitalization of the two shares classes of Alphabet?

1:15 Ironic how it may sound, iron is a heavy metal.

1:22 Anca Alexandrescu. Never trust politicians with double initials.

1:30 Tipa asta dacă ar avea ochii verzi ar semăna perfect cu Ana Lesko.

6:25 It took me like three hours but i fixed it. First i took it apart and looked to see if i can tigthen/move/slide  the hinges to reduce gaps and and play at the door, apparent when pushing it at corners. I did a little with no effect. Then i got kinda desperate, thinkin i will probably have to return it (enough leakage to cause pain (to me) at several meters).

Then i had this idea and covered the door with aluminum foil. No need to see how it's cooking. I saw the signal at 2 meters went a little down. Then i had one more idea and covered the side grill and then the signal got cut more than  half. Then i covered the rear grill and the signal got close to nothing.

7:00 It was working fine. Then i removed that wrinkled aluminum foil i put on a side to put a better one and then someone climbed upstairs and now again get very high readings.

11:35 I believe you could accomodate a number of people in some of those containers for 2-3 weeks.

Provided they have cranes, they could drop them near shore and then sink them and the people would come ashore on small inflatable boats. But it would need to be done with knowledge of high level politicians...

Could this have anything to do with... 

12:27 They have to show up fully dressed of course. They have to undergo a training which may include basic language (Spanish) and lessons how to dress, walk and act (body language). Japanese people walk differently from European or American.

September 24

6:45 I took Angela at work. When i left here i saw in the parking lot a guy loading a sleeping kid about 10 years old into a truck (deja vu). On my way back, at that school a huge truck loaded with gravel or soil or something got in front of me while on  the radio they were playing Billy Idol More More More. Now i feel like i've been again exposed to very sharp invisible dust cause it hurts everywhere.

7:17 I wanted to go back to sleep and now he started the TV upstairs and i think he is smoking too.

7:43 Există lege, există bani, (16.5 miliarde lei, sub capitol 06 din Bugetul Ministerului Muncii), alocațiile nu s-au dublat.

8:40 This morning i started to get readings on my blood sugar again and it was scary, 310 on fasting.

Well, since 2 AM. I ate like crazy yesterday, because of the dust that irritated my stomach while metabolism went down because of inflammation. So i decided to go for a walk. When i was ready, i opened the door (a bit) and went back to check the stove, etc.. and one guy already passed the door (a teenager, ex-kid from the building, looking Japanese. But when i looked on the other side, there was a bottle on a rung of the stairs and a huge kid, probably bigger than me, probably brought especially from Australia, next to the older known ones, all "getting ready to go to school", but waiting for me? to get out? so they can claim something? I took the other alley however before street they switched alleys so i just turned around. Right at the corner next to the other mailboxes there was this older guy in camouflage pants, tall, thin, looking angry, trotting around his car. So i got back at the building, took the other alley, meet with more people, all looking angry, all getting in the way. I went at the street, turned around when i saw the excavator in action across 7/11. When i got here, i saw a half empty beer can on the mulch, i went to grab it but when i try to go to the garbage bin, there was this small new car, parked next to it and a mother with a girl got in the car, slowly, so i just turned around, looking and picked more stuff, until they left.

9:20 CDC says what now? and the walking robot upstairs started to squeak nervously. Wanna get a feel? limping a bit? (what happens if it falls).

9:31 Yeah he left so the robot goes now to recharge. And i'll try to sleep.

12:03 ingannare.

12:08 Mai multă ingannare.

1:30 O modelă sau o jucătoare de tenis anonimă dintr-un pictorial. Pare familiară.

6:01 Went to Copart in Woodburn. I had (still have) high hopes related to a 2015 Hyundai Elantra that seemed damaged at the right door only. (Now that i looked at many other cars i like the looks of Elantras).

However, there was damage at the bumper, one headlight from a previous fender bender, front wheels where scuffed really bad, but beyond anything it was a GDI. I dread GDIs because there is no injector in the intake to clean the valves, and tons of oil from PCV and dust gather by the valves. Could be fixed with some cleaner and than vacuuming the intake and then again installing a catch can.

It seemed the owner never took off the engine cover, the gauge was hard to pull (not checking or changing oil very often), and when i did what did i saw. Pieces of foam broken from the sound insulation under the cover (GDIs are a bit like diesel, more noisy) gathered around a spark plug. There was a fistsize hole in the foam corresponding to the fuel pump line.The car is identical in many ways to our old Elantra, there is even the same type of (unnecessary) "window" in the grill, to let you pour brake fluid, an almost sure place for gases to leak from engine compartment in the cabin. Not very clear in this picture, there is a bit of oil (from PCV) leak by the intake.

Car won't start so i went back at  the office and they gave me a jump starter. (Why didn't i took mine which was in the truck, i don't know). Battery was dead also because the negative connector was completely loose, and/or battery was beyond its life time (i think the accident happened around the time the car was five years old, exactly like for the other Hyundai we had, when probably the car lost the EPS (Electric Power Steering).).

But the jump starter won't help. Then a guy who was driving @ one of those forklifts (making tons of dust also) came and asked if we needed  help. He kept trying different other points of the chassi for a negative (battery negative connector was loose BTW) and then he went inside and started the car. The car started immediately to tick, but when i pressed  the gas pedal, the tick disappeared. It was sounding a bit like a diesel. I ran the engine for more than 10 minutes, battery won't charge whatsoever (even after i tightened the negative connector by rotating it).

Then i had this bad idea and blew those pieces of foam and some of them fell onto the hot exhaust and the whole place started to stink badly. Now i'm thinking. Those could have been falling for a long time onto the exhaust and affecting the driver (polyurethane foam).

There was a similar pile but this time of tiny but very hard nut shells (could had been an animal that nested there since this car has been in that lot) on top of an engine mount next to the serpentine belt and i think those were falling onto the belt and inside the pulleys making the tick.

Car might be leaking oil by the fuel pump (which is mechanical, fed by the engine, like the old distributors, where there is an o ring). That oil obviously ends on the exhaust again generating gases under the hood that surely will leak in the cabin by that window in the grill.

Other than that. At 68k, brakes are completely gone, also tires. So what do i get so far. Door panel, bumper, brakes, tires, a headlight.

10:18 I ate only meatloaf and cucumbers all day and my blood sugar went down to 250. That's it. No more bread. No more alcohol. Only cucumbers and protein and fiber. Had some sleep in the evening. Searching for cars, all of a sudden the place filled with smoke. Went outside and tried to find holes and stuff and this guy with his white dog was running around the building, completely ignoring the smoke.

There was this older abandoned hole right in the middle of the green area in front of my car, haven't had problems with it, however tonight someone stuck some burning stuff in there, could have been with kratom + marijuana or something else. Went in the car to search for a 3/8 extension i use as stick to push soil from sides to cover that hole and with potting soil i had in a bag, two people decided to pass by, right next to that hole, probably to claim they have some in their blood, after. Another one next to the gutter at the corner of the garages. Got a headache from that smoke.

10:53 They did it one more time. Same hole where i just pushed some potting soil, now soil was softened, another one by the bedroom window. With three buzzers under ground there are no more moles. The guy with the white dog now smokes in the balcony. Cigarettes. 

Da, știu, ungurii și japonezii de pe aici mimează în seara asta tupeul infinit, pe care oricum îl aveau, ca să îngâne. Ca să nu pot spune despre:

11:05  Partide, politicieni, parlament, congrese, competiții, iluzii și tragere de timp. Miza e zecile de miliarde de euro strânse din TVA și taxele pe venit și profit care pleacă din România chiar de la buget în fiecare an. Credeți că merită, câteva sute sau mii de actori la produs în România pentru câteva zeci de miliarde de euro pe an? Cine conduce de fapt România? Ninja și dominicanii.

Vroiam să întreb. Bine, dacă ei conduc lumea, de ce nu-și fac pur și simplu bani și să ne lase în pace? România trebuie golită.

11:31 Reading news. Cassie upstairs started walking. TV is thundering. Ingannare. Sometimes like right now i believe these buildings officially with many empty floors are actually uninhabited and made only for the skyline. Also because of the super rich of this world are actually actors, they don't have any properties and especially they don't act like. The little scandals and few pictures in the media also fake are nothing like the tumultuous high life should be in the circles above us.

11:56 Now, besides thundering TV, probably the guy with the white dog in apartment 4 started a load of laundry.

August 22

12:43 After a day full of squeaks from above and remnants of cat dust also from above, and Angela being irritated, we decided to go for a drive and a spin at Spirit Mountain, with the truck. I hosed truck's grill that was full of dust dirt inside, then i washed the matts, tried to scrap the rust on the floor on driver's side, there is a bad rubber thing in there that i tried to seal with silicon that lets the water in, we went to car wash, then vacuumed the seats and then we left. But before that i went in the back to search for dog remnants cause i felt a smell. Nothing, but the building was surrounded with a weird smell resembling vanilla but not exactly and then another maybe laundry perfume. Just like yesterday.

So we left for Spirit Mt, there was a strong side wind that was constantly pushing me off the road, until i returned i was convinced it was truck's suspension. Even though the truck is 14 years older than the Hyundai, i noticed several  things. Windshield is more clear, can see better. I don't get blinded that easily by numerous off road headlights from the road.  But the mileage was terrible, i think i done more than 6 gallons for 100 miles. The mechanic at Exhaust Specialty was right. (They always are when in plain sight). Thing is burning so rich it could overwhelm the catalytic converter. But never drove it on a distance to see it like tonight. Got to first change the fuel filter, try some Heet in the tank and then use OBDII to diagnose it. Check fuel pressure and i have a hunch that know sensor isn't working too well though i replaced.

After half hour of drive i started to get sick. Nausea, dizziness. Like yesterday but worse. I forgot the bottle with charcoal at home but Angela could find a few forgotten ones in bottles with mixed first aid supplements, like potassium, calcium, coconut oil, things like that. Two capsules of charcoal did a little miracle on me however was not 100% restored and became sleepy and felt the same weird way like yesterday before that accident. I don't know what i would have done tonight without that charcoal, and Angela cannot drive the truck back home, probably would have ended in the ER.

What pissed me mostly at Spirit Mt. was i first saw two kids in van with windows in the spot that became visible as second next to us when somebody left. Angela said she saw an adult too. Inside a number of persons that looked like celebrities, mostly very young, with masks, possibly others, i was pretty absent after that ninja aerosol i inhaled before i left.

If anybody would do a search (CTRL/F) on the word droppings (double p of course) in this book he/she would find that the word occurs 71 times in various ninja recipes to use on their friends.

Too tired to explore these two possibilities. Tomorrow.

Couldn't help but notice an unusual number of cops on the streets when i got back, maybe up to 5 different SUVs in different places. Could it be because i played (and won a little) at that game "cops and donuts"? and then uploaded a short video when i got a bonus? I was going under the speed limit with that truck though. And then minutes ago something just occurred to me. By passing through McMinnville  so many times you may get in contact with those aliens, right?

8:48 Woke up after less than 7 hours with pretty bad abdominal pain like it always happens after the nausea. Got a remedy. A piece of insulating material around my belly, like a wide belt. Got better and and was about to fall asleep and every time i was falling asleep, he started to make a noise upstairs, like he knew. Now that i started to write he started the TV really loud. He will stay here to torment me the rest of the day. A man in his late 30s, doesn't have any friends or girlfriends, never speaks on the phone, never cooks, but cigarette smoke is sometimes coming from upstairs. One day i found a video about ninja being able to hear conversations through two walls using a resonating piece of metal. I am pretty sure they can, to some extent, listen to your thoughts. I am used to hum in my mind all the time and probably move some muscles in my mouth and/or tongue and they could use ultrasound again made by some ancient or technological device to determine the resonation frequency of your oral cavity bla bla. Thing is it happens.

12:30 It could be cigarette smoke, but most likely mixed with something else, coming from  upstairs.

4:49 Days are getting shorter already, jetstream is above, kinda dark, turned on the light in the kitchen area which is partly visible from open blinds. Two Japanese kids came to play with a dog in line of sight.
6:57 About one hour and a half ago i went to the liquor store in Tualatin (Oregon is one of the few states that have liquor stores and attendants at the gas station for more possiblities to bring actors and make scenes in there. I forgot about the new governor's order (which is not legally binding BTW, no only because she's on a fake ID) and went without a mask. They gave me a mask, a yellow one which i never saw before, my fingers where so dry i could not pull the card from the wallet, and using and old reflex that got the best of me, i pulled the mask, liked my finger and the vulture at the desk who's close to each other blue eyes looked familiay grabbed my bottle and said "i'm not going to give it to you".

My neglected truck runs bad these days and puts some smoke not so much as the Harley that got in front of me for retaliation and i had to go to Lake Oswego liquor store only to see it was closed. Then i came back home cause i figured who was at the liquor store and to write this down. Now i have to go to Beaverton which closes at 9, which is ridiculous. We live in a children's state.

I was also thinking. My wallet is next to my perspired underwear, my hands perspire though less these days because they feel dry, i touched my face with my hands when i put the mask on, what's the fuss with the finger/card licking?

September 5th

12:00 Buddha, Sage of the Shakyas. Shakespeare.

I remembered what i once told the English teacher in HS when she asked me (and everybody else) why i wanted to learn English and i told her that i hope some day i will be able to understand Shakespeare "in original". Just because everybody was talking about, had no idea where his ideas came from and that we had our own poets with similar ideas (though i knew of that poem at the time). Today i tried to read "To be or not be" from Hamlet, which is however full of Old English words and expressions of those days that sound weird (since the spirit of those days is gone, can't feel what they felt when they read it, mission impossible) i never heard about, but i think my goal was generally achieved (50 years later, lucky enough) and surpassed since i am able to write a no nonsense blog partly in English and have meaningful conversations, though generally with ninja and foreign actors who speak by ear prompter.

12:05 It was quiet all morning, which is an exception to the rule. I had this idea which is actually older, came at the computer to do the searches, he became animated, some micro rubbish fell on my head so i added more duck tape on the ceiling in suspected areas (last resort).

Nothing new except i remembered i thought i saw him last night at Chinook Winds. Different hairdo, glasses, looking younger, but i think it was him. More than that, was getting in my way, discretely, everywhere i went, making it look like we were together. Here he keeps pouring gas in that motorcycle with a leaking carburetor. The gas falls in the engine and then in the lot, through that breather which in modern cars have been replaced by PCV circuit, stinking.

1:15 Yesterday my love (dor) for the Ocean beat the smoke an i stepped down on those stairs which i haven't done in a while and took three unusual pictures.

First. There was a fog bank close to the beach. The Ocean seemed like a river with a shore on the other side with monster waves coming at you.
Nobody steps that way. That is a masonic step.
3 of the seven fires.
One of the`goals of the window replacement were replacing the siding under with a scale like siding where it is impossible for water to get inside. However they left enough space between planks for dust to get out. He just shook the building with his washer and litter dust fell from there and came in inside i guess from under the door. I went in his apartment the other day and i saw the grill from the in-wall heater under that window is removed, with a missing screw, exposing the inside of the wall. Also got to hose the dust buns under the roof cause nobody else is doing it.

5:38 But what's around the corner, right where his washer is upstairs?

As i said before, once you enter this complex all rules and laws disappear, people are walking and driving chaotically, kids are playing and yelling unsupervised for many hours a day, buildings are not cleaned after major repair, etc..

Don't know, it's been like yesterday since Eminem "settled all his law suits", nowadays there ain't no shame, they pump porn in the air all day long, but this?

9:00 I went to Walmart to buy a phone and a plan with AT&T. People in there were acting dumb. Many people with many babies squeezing around. In Electronics some guy came around, he looked like a young musician or actor i must have seen in a video. We were waiting in line. The Asian woman came and said they're out of those phones, though they were on display. Somebody in line in front of us bought a real cheap TV, for 280 bucks or something. Our TV was old 40 inches and not 4K and had a vertical line on it so we decided to buy one similar. 50 inches, 4k, Roku whatever. A group of Arabs talking loud surrounded us.

We paid at the department and one minute later, i thought i saw again Jacqueline Cristian. i went outside and Angela went to check some other stuff. At the entrance, though it didn't happen in a long time, an Asian guy asked for the receipt, and insisted to see it, though i was asking myself. How could i have gotten a TV that was not on the shelf (they got the display ones which are not in boxes) and not paying for it (you have to pay at the department) and gave me back the receipt though i didn't look at. On the road here, many dangerous situations, including a speeding semi (70+ in a 55) in the middle lane, touching lines, other lanes. Got home, installed the TV and for some reason i wanted to see the receipt but all i could find in the pocket was the 5 dollars receipt i got at Indian Head for a shot of brandy, though i don't remember taking it and keep asking if i had the same jeans on me.

10:10 Just finished a shower after i went and dusted the building as seen in the last picture above, reaching maybe one meter above our level (upper plank). Most dust is from cutting the siding around windows, thus is contains wood dust and insulation dust. Right in the middle of the picture, around the corner, there are two vents at the basement level and they both have dogs in the corresponding apartments. Vapor from possibly dog laundry gets inside our wall (right) which stinks like a stable (from the outside). Can do more with a hose,  but not on that side of the building with many windows.
