July 20

12:40 Today (19) it was too hot not to run the AC. I checked earlier and it was ok, no dust smell, but as the weather cooled and compressor was not kicking in all the time and the cold radiator dried and wasn't filtering the air anymore, dust appeared apparently falling from above, went outside on a hunch, it was in front and in the back of the building. Rock dust smelling like volcanic rocks. Upstairs it was quiet until i opened the news in the OK. And now i'm facing searching for PM (Penny More daunt).

11:10 No i couldn't find her last night. Too tired. Vacuuming Monday after going twice at Walmart was more traumatizing and disrupting i thought it would. Firstly, like today, none of the people on the streets or in the store were random or normal people. All actors or extras of the nagas. Synchronizing and getting in the way. When i came back again in entered the freeway in the same point, out of Dartmouth St. Not 72 as i wrote the other day. Ramp is indeed much shorter, the "mergeable" area marked with broken white line is only about 200 ft. Imagine that. Meeting with a 100 ft SAIA behemoth exactly in that area. Having to brake to clear the last of the three trailers to be able to merge. Also i want to say here about another big problem they created with marking the street at Nyberg exit. First two left lanes of the exit go left, but each is corresponding to two lanes on Nyberg and most of the people including the woman that drove behind me and me for years get confused and. Try and follow the curved broken white line here.

While i was vacuuming, at a certain point i saw the vacuum hose was disconnected which means there was not vacuum applied in the brushes area and much unfiltered (through the bag) dust was released in the air. Not sure for how long, i already did half the surface, went back and did it all again. I was sick to the stomach the whole day and next morning (and was out of green beans to fix that). But the smell did not go away until i washed the blue blanket with the polar bear 3 more times yesterday after i washed it once Monday. Apparently it had absorbed the smell that was coming out of the weird bathroom sink, with a "dead end" or useless piece of gutter (at the left of the pipe here). That sewage smell went away from there after i poured in chlorine several times and cleaned with a snake brush for about a week, but it was trapped in that blanket which i washed maybe every 2 or 3 months, Monday evening being last time.

But all these got to me. Yesterday i was drunk when i ate cucumber salad using my defective dentures and those created an infection in the gum that due to whole body inflammation due to inhaling dust while vacuuming spread to my head and got me a pretty bad sinusitis, with a terrible headache this morning which prompted me to take already 3 doses of Augmenting, vitamins and some liquids. Most people ignore the fact that dust is of many types and the worse by far is dust from volcanic rock made mineral insulation present in walls of most houses in the US.

I recently ordered a lens attachment that promises to turn you phone into a 100x microscope which allows you theoretically to see particle down to .2 microns, but i think i will return it and buy a cheap but real 1000x student microscope, to look both at my car's oil and all kinda dust around me and i hope that will end many speculations.

I knew i was going to be much better if i can go for a walk to pump blood in the infected area but it was like 66 degrees and took my Zero Exposure jacket and that made me perspire a lot bla bla.. Again many people breaking ORS 163.732 that is being there with the only purpose of interacting with me including many cars with KGC and KGA LPN but my brain was shutting down trying to save resources to fight illness so i could not positively identify any of them though i'm sure some were from the recent matches.

11:57 I wrote in several occasions about how i believe weather can be manipulated. One method, created by "Nikola Tesla" himself, is by using giant DC lines on the ground that may work in the same way electrostatic filters with no moving parts move the air in a room, but at much greater scale, with the example, Pacific Intertie which stretches for over 1000 miles (Dyson fans have hidden moving parts, sorry). I didn't know until recently that actually there are many high voltage DC lines in the world, including in Europe. There is another even older method which steers the jet-streams by raising or lowering the ionosphere with an antenna (Eiffel Tower) or even clouds. The newer, more sophisticated method, uses microwave phased array antennas to heat the ionosphere and steer the jet-streams and maybe the local winds and this one requires gigantic supercomputers to make the calculations and process the feedback from local sensors, like the Japanese Earth Simulator.

Weather control can be used indeed for improving agriculture and living conditions and counteract locally the effects of global heating, but also, if needed, for psychological pressure. But it wasn't until today that i realized it can serve one more purpose. By manipulating winds, they can raise dust from regions like Sahara and moving it over Europe and that can create... (announced) pandemics and this theory predicts that most southern countries like Italy will be mostly affected.

1:55 Metsubushi. It could be much simpler than that. Taking advantage of weather. When winds are blowing from the direction of a desert, some could simply fly a bunch of helicopters at low altitude or something similar over hot sand areas where there are ascending currents. That wouldn't draw much attention. It will be not visible at the destination. Only the finest submicronic dust will raise and fly 1000 km away. And yes, it could have been done in ancient times. Unsuspected. Undetectable.

Bob Dylan.

3:21 Doubling. While i was concentrated to search and write the last paragraphs he started his dance above. He's got a certain way, probably saying a certain mantra, so i won't react. After i finished i felt very tired and fell asleep. When Angela came i took the opportunity to look above. At the biggest patch, next to the pillar there was a bulge made from inside out in the still soft joint compound hiding a through hole (no it wasn't that soft to "fall"). Lost my temper and forgot to take a picture before i fixed it. Just took a shower. When i came back i realized the couch cover smells like litter dust and threw it in the washer.
6:25 I was editing the paragraph above and he started to yell only when i was thinking and writing, before i hit enter. But what do you expect. Each character i type here or on address bar or fb or everywhere else appears on the screen only after it is being sent to google and google then sends it back (otherwise it couldn't do spellcheck by example which doesn't happen on your computer). So it goes through their AI.

7:03 How many times i tried to say. There are all kinda dusts. Millions types of dusts, or actually how many materials are around on the surface of the  Earth times their combinations. Silica or silicon dioxide is one of the most common minerals found on the surface of Earth. Soil, sand, name it. But most of it, after billions of  years, is in rounded particles. Big and small. Mineral wool on the other hand is made of molten magma in form of fibers, in a process similar to the making of cotton candy. It is fibers of irregular thickness. Now try to imagine what happens when those tiny fibers break for various reasons, mostly vibration. 

The resulting dust is sharp. Inhaling that fine sharp dust in small amounts won't do much to your lungs cause it will be wrapped in mucus. But that mucus with the dust eliminates into your stomach and intestines and causes all kinda illnesses we call modern. I know from my own experiences (from when trying to fix things in the attic in Lake Oswego). After a noticeable exposure it will be days until it clears out, with a diet rich in fiber which entangles with the sharp dust, when it will create discomfort, mostly stomach pain, also bloating, mucus in stool and slowing of intestinal transit which in the end leads to constipation. In time inflammation from your intestine will slowly spread in other areas of your body. One of the scariest symptoms during acute exposure is nose congestion which without other symptoms you may not even notice, giving you a shortness of breath while trying to breathe on your nose.

Very few people or entities have the means or curiosity or interest to analyze dust but that could tell your future. That is the reason why i'm buying a microscope, the cheapest real one i could find on Amazon.

And the question of course. Can you hide this type of sharp artificial dust in a "legitimate" sand storm? (drop a few pounds of it from a plane). One thing is for sure. Current sensors used for monitoring pollution do not take into account the shape or chemical composition but only the size and number of particles.

Americans are also familiar with silica sharp dust from concrete (also mostly silica) breakage during the fall of the... twin towers and its effects. Though i believe nobody knows the real numbers.

11:00 He started to squeak again, after many hours of silence, took the dental probe and this time i realized the patch was missing, like it was taken or sucked with some tool from above, only a thin wet cracked layer still remaining. Now again i squeezed a large amount that should make for more than the 3/8 the thickness of the ceiling itself.

June 21

June 21. Summer solstice. Longest day of the year. Official beginning of summer. Woke up after midnight after 4 hours of sleep (i decided to count those hours for yesterday and make 8 in total), turned the AC off and Angela wanted to go "a little" on the floor downstairs then she fell back alseep and i wanted to go and search something to eat and go on the floor and woke her up.

First time i really warmed up in the car and had to briefly use the AC but that was close to Reno. At 1 AM my blood sugar is really low, close to normal (and my feet almost white again). Or it has something to do again with the environment in the apartment. Two days ago at Seven Feathers for some reason i was craving burgers and ate 3 and a half double cheeseburgers at the Burger King nearby (All that beef must have done it ?).

This room is bigger than our apartment with bathroom bigger than our bedroom and a restroom of its own with door. Brand new carpet, i think room has been recently refurbished, it doesn't smell like anything expect ourselves.

An acute weird feeling of missing time fuel. This car does constantly 42 on the freeway (on dashboard) but there was only one occasion where i parked after i filled in only one place (Little Creek, Washington) and the mileage at the pump was 40 (miles divided per gallons). Rest of the time is 35. Yesterday the only place where it could have happened was at Win River in Redding. Where i only spent about one hour and tried to sleep in the car and in the end went after Angela inside but she came at the car in the same time. It was a ten minutes window of opportunity. For someone to siphon a gallon or two of my gas. Not for the gas but for the mileage. The guy in the red t-shirt in the car next to me was smoking all the time and the smoke came inside. Now that i looked at the news thought his face was familiar.

Second thing after getting rid of T-mobile when i get back home would be washing the carpet with my wet vacuum, like i did last year, twice. But that is not going to help much. If they leave only one poop at the door the place is going to be contaminated again in 24 hours. The stuff is ...evolutionary.

9:37 Reno. Mother and child waiting on hotel hallway. Summer solstice, heating up in car etc.. Kalama.  Polution. Stefania Moldovan. Abject failure. Severely severed donuts.

3:51 Templars

Went at Eldoraro on the small floor. In the parking lot some were pressure washing, blocking lower floors, had to climb higher, had trouble finding a spot and when i did i found one next to a big transformer, probably a 6kV right close to the building (probably breaking some codes). First i thought it was an abandoned wooden pole, but when i got out of the car i saw what it was and moved the car into the next spot. Inside a bunch of older people were practicing line of site game, everywhere i was sitting or standing there was someone right in my front. We were constantly loosing and finally left. Went to the liquor store across the street from the hotel to buy some brandy. The seller now was the same guy who was acting as a customer and almost got into a fight with last year. He had to come and unlock the brandy for me but at the counter was waiting a black woman so sad she was looking like she sold her baby. Climbed with the elevator on the North entrance, walked on the long hallway. AC was off for the most part which means the hotel is mostly empty.

St. Hubertus. It was a trap, saw it today on a Nevada type of LP in a place where i went to buy food and remembered that i posted about years ago but for a different reason. (Hubertus name starts with Hu and the stag is in the main legend about the creation of Hungarian state). Whoever posted that clip knew. 

8:40 Relaxed, smiling, maybe Ukrainian speaking guys were waiting for me at the hotel North entrance. Not the aggressive type. But who knows. While driving back here (got really sick at Atlantis, almost agonizing there, that place indeed smells bad) something came to mind. Straight from hRdaya sUtra. Then i looked into a dictionary and found more. Yeah i know, everybody thought, including myself that is a Spanish word (The song, for God's sake). But where that word came from in Spanish because the Spanish word for birth is nacimento.

Arizona too cause it's got the root aria or arya which we all know what it means in Sanskrit. Could be Arya sama or something like this.

June 17

12:20 So you think you know what crazy is... (Warnin...)

Got it. That is a hell of a teeth infection. BTW we need to thank Brits for expanding their "empire" until they hit and opened and rushed in all these Pandora's boxes to Europe. America, India, China, Australia, Japan and now Russia it's on her way.

12:50 3 + 1. 3 Transferuri.

12:04 În retragere. (Ana are mere).

12:09 Situația la 12 ore după paragraful de sub coșul (lui) Boris. Comportamentul de copii de grădiniță al liderilor care parcă ar vrea, copilărește, să contrazică ce am spus nu arată prostie din partea lor. Ei se poartă așa fiindcă așa li se scrie rolurile, mișcările și intervențiile, iar scriitorii scriu istoria viitorului după cum au ajuns să gândească milioanele pe care îi păstoresc. Sau poate așa au fost dintotdeauna. Da știu majoritatea nu au timp să gândească și îi votează și îi plătesc pe alții să facă asta pentru ei (Boris, coș-mărul lui Putin). Dar scriitorii lor au!

12:30 I'm going to sunny Reno next week because of weather and the weather here finally gets better! (or so they say, remains to be seen).

12:50 Inginer, muncitor și soț de cântăreață, mort.

12:51 Ultima reprezentație a lui Bobby Farrell.

1:00 Bursa s-a închis. De acum pot să scriu ce vreau. Securismul SRI (se reia). SIC.

1:07 O veste bună pentru americani. Ca întodeauna, război sau pace, prețul petrolului scade înainte de 4th of July când toată lumea se deplasează cu mașina.

2:30 Din bube mucegaiuri... Time has come to explore the link between the words cup and kapala. Kapala is a skull cup and the word in English could have come through benign routes. When i left for the vital walk i was already chocking. But in a different way than last night when i had a reflux episode. Two hours after "the man" upstairs hit once the floor he awoke me from my first sleep that started at 11 i fell asleep and woke up with some of the content of my stomach in respiratory airways. Slept three more hours or 4 in total. But i fell asleep in the morning and slept through most of it. And he let me since the market was calm.

But as soon as i gradually woke up and started to write, he started back on. This week he's been at work for 2 days, Monday and Tuesday and at home ever since.

I was chocking because of a plastic ...how should i say it... glass... no, better clear plastic cup that was sitting there under the bush, on the sequoia mulch, with some mold at the bottom. Next to it, some red balled fruit about 1 cm in diameter. I looked at the bush and didn't see any other so i figured they were brought there. Further, a soda can half empty. As i said, they bring in stuff matching what i eat or drink. So i threw them all and went for the vital walk, dizzy and counting each breath, but on Borland, right when i finally caught my breath, i ran into dense smoke, like someone was just starting a fire in a fireplace, and turned around, didn't want to end like in the other day. Here i found one more cigarette but under the door. Inside, the combined smell of cigarette smoke and molds generated by those objects described above.

4:07 Vladimir Solovyov's worthless creature represents the will and influencer of many Brits while Putin represents the will and influencer of many Russians. A lethal combination when they're both played by malevolent actors.

5:34 Finally figured out. Last night i was kinda drunk and went to bed without doing dishes. This morning i forgot and the objects thrown scientifically outside on the red mulch started some very nasty stinking strains that resonated in my kitchen sink that contributed to make me choke. I done that, finished doing the salad (two more, and Angela has finished her supply of lettuce from her garden bed), sat at the laptop to do a search whatever with the salad in front of me with patio sliding door opened and saw a deja vu. A guy with a pump pumping herbicides right in front of that door, speaking Spanish, looking Japanese.

8:20 There was this weird smell yesterday, like freshly broken rocks i forgotten what it was. It was used litter dust i haven't had in a long time (basically after the two Ladies of December with their cat left). A couple of weeks ago i heard a dog running upstairs but after i wrote about it stopped. The effects are showing today, but started last night with the reflux episode. Today it was shortness of breath (combined with the smells from kitchen sink and outside garbage) It's deja vu, even back then they were doing mostly after i was vacuum and cleaning the kitchen floor, filters and fridge's coil.

Problems With the Newer Refrigerants

This is one of the most important posts ever. Another problem i ran into, caused by yet another monumental technical and commercial blunder. Replacement of R11, R12 and R22 refrigerants which are chlorinated and are using mineral oil as lubricant with R134a, R410a, R404A which do not have chlorine in their chemical formula and use synthetic glycol or PAG (Poly Alkyl Glycol), POE or PVE as lubricant. The commonly used lubricant/refrigerant ratio is 1/4 (one ounce lubricant to 4 ounces liquid refrigerant).

First. They are saying that chlorinated refrigerants like older R11, R12 and R22 deplete the protective ozone layer of the Earth (ionosphere) hence they needed to be phased out and replaced with non chlorinated ones but to me this is highly controversial, because freon is 4 times heavier than air and chlorine 3 times. Ionosphere is the outermost area of the upper atmosphere where oxygen is converted into ozone by solar radiation and is as thick as the radiation penetrates. It's a self regulated process and ionosphere will be there in the same thickness as long as there is oxgyen.

Second. Chlorinated refrigerants may be anti-fungal (because they contain chlorine).

Third. Glycols though they outperform mineral oil in many applications including refrigeration, are highly hygroscopic. Which means they have an affinity for water and will attract water inside the pipes though the pressure is 2-3 times atmospheric pressure (on the lower pressure side of the system or before the compressor when in use).

Fourth. Unlike window ACs which are completely sealed, cars and homes ACs have 2 servicing valves or the so called core valves which are similar to core valves at the tires though they work at higher pressure (up to 200 psi or 13 atm on the high pressure side of the circuit or right after the compressor). Valves are sealed with tiny soft pieces of rubber.

Fifth. Lubricant in AC applications contribute to sealing the areas that have rubber seals. When not in use, the lubricant gathers at the bottom of the circuit and the valves "dry". Them they start leaking, but not only inside out, though the pressure in a fully charged system when not in use (on both low and high pressure areas) is about 50 psi at 50 degrees, 70 and 70 etc., they also leak, though much less, the other way due to partial pressure phenomena. Though there is pressure inside the circuit, that is caused by freon. Water vapor partial pressure is smaller inside then outside and water molecules that are also smaller get can also get inside in very small amounts, where they meet the lubricant, get dissolved in it until saturation and some end up in the silicon beads of the desiccant bag that is present in any AC circuit. And in there, if  there is no anti-fungal agents or additives in the circuits, water and oxygen contribute to developing mold and/or bacteria.

My car has been sitting in auction sites and shop for months and the valves have dried and leaked most of the freon, pressure was so low it was not triggering the switch that starts the compressor). After i first accidentally released some freon and PAG oil when i tried to refill the AC (and then i brought the hoses inside) i got very sick for about a month and a half after. Kinda realized what happened and bought a vacuum pump that is meant to remove all moisture from inside the circuit by applying vacuum. In vacuum, water evaporates faster or boils and vapors are eliminated by the pump. It is hard to obtain a very high vacuum due to continuous evaporation, at least until you eliminate most of it and it's a long process that might take up to an hour. But in the end it worked and the needle of that gauge was not moving down visibly when the pump was stopped, and the vacuum was achieved much faster after letting air in than the first time when moisture was present (actually should have used a digital gauge for deep vacuum, which measures in (mercury height) microns instead of psi, one psi is about 50k microns and for boiling water you will need some 1500 microns, and don't know if that is visible on a gauge marked in psi. 1/40 of one line on the scale). I also tried to replace the core valves, but did not realize i have bought two different sizes for each valves (4 valves in total) and i replaced only the low pressure one. My mistake.

Anyways, i've done it, added the right amount of freon, checked for the right amount of oil with some indicators i bought on Amazon.

As for newer than R134a. R410a and R404A which are newer than R134a are even worse. POE used in R410a saturate with water at 0.2 to 0.3 percent while PAG saturates at 0.7 which means there will be more free water in the circuit and desiccant bag.

But the next day. All my symptoms came back, though not as intense (it may be my immune system adapted to the strains that grow inside those circuits). Including belly pains which i had for a year before the accident. Which means the other car had it also. Which means they most do. Here in this image the pump is connected to the low pressure valve. The high pressure one which to me seems useless is in the bottom middle of the image next to the alternator. BTW i just remember, my low pressure valve tip was touching the cap when tightened which contributed to the leak.
This image shows the "zero" position of the gauge, which is a bit off to the right.And this the ultimate vacuum i have achieved in about an hour or soAnd yes i believe it's a good idea to start the AC in winter time at least once a week, to wet the valves with oil (glycol whatever).

An idea just came to me and went and looked for what kinda AC (heat pump whatever) a Tesla has. Since it should be obviously electric, like the window ones, of comparable capacity (around 10k btu), i was hoping it is as compact and does not have servicing valves. But no, it's got the same type of huge compressor and clumsy plumbing with long pipes that loose heat (cold) all cars have, is spread all over the what used to be engine compartment and has at least one servicing valve (yellow cap in the image). Why not make a compact AC (heat pump) of comparable size and price with the window ones, that last maybe 10 years, and could be cheap enough to be replaced all together or as cheap as the cost of servicing the existing?

May 6

6:07/4:07 Mai aveți țevi de plumb sub chiuvetă? Îmi amintesc că în România bucata de țeavă dintre coloana care era din oțel și robinet era din plumb, mai ales pentru flexibilitate în timpul instalării.

Romanii foloseau mult plumbul în instalații, (chiar și pentru vase de gătit), ceea ce a dat în engleză cuvântul plumbing, care înseamnă tot ce e instalație pentru apă într-o locuință.

Există teorii care spun că Imperiul Roman a căzut din cauza toxicității instalațiilor din plumb. Însă americanii au renunțat de mult la plumb, un metal cu rezonanțe masonice (firul cu plumb folosit în construcții, a treia unealtă simbolică a masonilor speculativi, după echer și compas) din cauza toxicității. Deși a fost folosit decenii și ca aditiv, pentru a mări cifra octanică la benzină (azi e înlocuit de alcool etilic).

De asemenea cuvântul plombă, care vine din franceză are tot plumbul la origine. Inițial cariile se acopereau (umpleau) cu plumb, fiind mai apoi înlocuit cu amalgamat, ceea ce este controversabil.

8:18 For my own records. So far i only chocked (had dysphagia) with pieces of meat. Aggravated by rice that was dried and/or pasta al dente. But noise, other stimulants (stressors), are essential and were present always.

This morning, no exception, the man started to walk when i tried to eat some (way overcooked) lean pork like he did so many times before.

I almost choked but felt the urge to drink coffee which literally helped the piece of meat go down. I guess from all foods, even after chewing thoroughly, lean meat is not smooth, i mean it has a rather non-smooth (coarse) texture.  For some reason, came to mind this older idea of mine which seams a bit sci-fi but still entirely credible to me after all the years since i wrote it.

12:39 On Keywords. I'm so sick and tired of all this. Every time i post something they come to create confusing information, sometimes just by choosing or even creating events like this one.

Also, cannot separate my life from what i'm posting, while they have infinite resources. This morning i ordered a vacuum pump to remove moisture and air from inside the AC (yes, water boils at ambient temperature if enough vacuum is applied). Buying the pump is times cheaper than going to a shop and it is also a much better option because at the shop you don't know where that pump was been hooked before, if it's within specs, if the tech really knows what he's doing (applying vacuum deep enough for enough time). How does the moisture gets in the refrigerant pipes? That is a very good question. By molecular leaks at the valves, because PAG "oil" is so hygroscopic. Using it is as simple as hooking it up to one port.

Besides reducing efficiency and corrosion, the moisture and air creates living conditions for virulent mold inside the pipes. Every time i ride or drive that car i get sick again. Also because i have my parotid glands (salivary) full of petrolatum from the dental adhesive i used for years.

But yesterday. When we passed this "open air" mulch factory there was this mold smell (i really don't understand, why every time i pass do i get to breathe their fermentation results and my clothes should get contaminated with their molds?). Better said, wood alcohol created by mold smell. And a truck with modified exhaust provided the necessary vibration for a new strain of mold to get inside the circuit.

Yesterday afternoon i went to an ATM to deposit a check and withdraw 100 dollars. Next to me there was this Spanish speaking woman who cornered me, putting up a scene, talking aloud on speakerphone while i was navigating thru menus with my card inside the machine. I got to hear her conversation partner coughing.

Then, when i looked at the news and see in disbelief a news about a hotel in Havana that has just been renovated (construction) blown because of a gas leak? Another similar one in Madrid? Gas leak, plumbers?

Did i use the words speculative masons?

Many years ago when all these started i was frightened. Now i'm just frustrated because i know much of the stories, like the number of dead, aren't real. These are staged events. But the fear is real. Fear was real during the pandemic, so it is during the war. And fear wipes all judgement and hope and trust.

8:36 The illusion factory still going strong. Last night at Spirit Mt  they were featuring... At the bar, outside smoking, walking on the central alley her 51 years old still sexy body.

11:38 After mentioning the freemasons several times in the last days, tonight when the guy upstaris came, a weird smell got in here. Could be very find ground elemental sulfur and paper. Both masonic tools present in the chmaber of reflections. Then when the smell started to subside, he went out, which brought more smell and came back in, again. The smell is very strong next to stairs. The stairs are covered in a dust that leaves a black residue on a paper towel.

Drying Laundry Under Vacuum

Because when i moved the exhaust pipe of the drier was clogged with condensed water in the basement, for years, i reinvented drying laundry by using a heat pump as condenser and heater and recirculating the dry jot air saving energy, by modifying a window AC (because i saw the water that is coming when the window AC is working).

Re-invented because after i saw that only years before such driers that included a heat pump were commercially available, using a third less energy and not requiring an exhaust pipe. It's faster and especially cleaner since the air that goes in the drier does not come from the room but it's the exhaust that is dried and heated inside the heat pump and recirculated and some of the heat in winter time heats the room instead of being evacuated outside with the exhaust. However i am tired to uninstall and re-install it every year when the inspection come and now that the pipe is fixed in the summer it probably works as well in normal mode, while evacuating the heat outside.

Coincidentally i've been dealing these days with car's AC and saw a video that shows that moisture can be extracted from the AC system using a vacuum pump. Because of water's properties, under enough vacuum (low pressure) it may boil at room temperature or even less. This principle is used a lot in concentrating juices, where the water is removed again with a vacuum pump, without much heating thus without destroying nutrients though some heat is applied, because by boiling, the juice looses heat and it may even freeze. In this diagram fast drying (boiling) occurs anywhere right of the curve in the pink area.
So i made a connection in my mind, but instead of re-inventing anything i went and did some searches first and found out it was possible, it requires much less energy, again, no exhaust, however none available commercially yet. Currently around 6% of household electric energy and 2% of household gas consumption in the US is done by drying.

April 25

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tatooine, the lawless planet with two Suns. Tualatin.

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

February 17

12:53 Still chasing the flickering voltage. Drilled a hole in the battery's terminal and put a screw. Always wanted to to this. Ever wondered. Why didn't they do it a long time ago. Why the battery terminals are round and not square (rectangular, cubic, whatever) with a hole in the middle so you can tighten them decently with a flat connector?

If this doesn't fix it, i was thinking, maybe the chassis connection to negative, cause every time i tighten the connector, i move that thick cable a bit around. In a hard to reach place, only one 5 mm screw and they didn't even remove the paint.

I always see better when i take pictures and watch them on the computer, now i see i haven't put a washer on the left side. Just figured why they made the clamp at an angle, so you don't bump with your tool on the fuse box when you want to replace battery, which is a very bad idea.

When i got the car from the auction, had to replace the left headlight. Fond an aftermarket one (nowadays with my searching exprience on car parts i could probably find an OEM one at the same price). Trouble is at this car the inner parking ligths are combied with turn signals, the OEM has a two way bulb, and the one i bought is only one. So i have on the right two parking lights left and right of headlights and on the left only one with the inner missing. Tonight i tried to do some external wiring to bring volgate to the inner parking light however. The OEM socket i tried to put in there that can hold a two way bulb is not compatible with non OEM headlight, doesn't work at all. So i realized should add two external wires and possibly the ground also. So i just downgraded the right one, with some electrical tape on one terminal of the bulb, so now i don't have inner parking light anymore, only outer and it's symmetrical.

Also re-tighten the nuts on ball joints with my new tools (extra long set, 6 pieces, metric, with 44 bucks on Amazon). These three projects took me way more than it should have because of smoke. Smoke inside, from a hole right on the other side of the "wall" where my computer is. Smoke outside, all the time. People moving around me making it look like something else. Basically i was wasted all the time, kept "loosing tools", forgetting what i wanted to do, things like that. People always getting away when i step out, and planes and noisy cars jut before i leave, so it looks like i'm hiding when they come.

7:10 First i could read the article. Then Financial Times asked for a subscription. Mainly the article has been quoting some experts from Ukraine, questioning the constitutionality of dissolving the Parliament, months before scheduled elections. More on that from Euronews

9:01 I tried to move the desk further away from "the wall" where smoke is coming from under and when i plugged in the computer in a different outlet the power supply flashed the fuse at me. Yes i spilled a glass with some wine from last night on it when moving but it did not reach the computer or keyboard or anything. Angela's W10 computer is very slow though much newer. I was running a version of Linux on mine which was 13 years old.

9:33 Did i just commented about snap elections? After pulling the lead off the power supply too, i went back outside and blew with the reverted vacuum the dust that it was full. But this time they were ready with a couple of kids that i know here at the window where Angela's computer is.

10:04 Ok i dusted for the last time that piece of equipment and soldered a piece of thin copper wire on top of fuse and it blew on my again. That thing is done. I will never ever again buy any device with a fan in it (that accumulates dust that is).

7:20 Posting from Chromebook 4 with the old keyboard hooked to it. Tomorrow i'll get some sort of hub that will also connect the mouse and the old monitor (USBC to HDMI). One thing i noticed, it's faster than my old computer, with no lag on typing.

I knew there was going to be  some trouble when i went in the bedroom this morning after Angela left. Since Angela can't tolerate the noise and airflow from a filter, even at lowest level, it was smelling like dirty socks. Marijuana, i figured. So i called her when she got there and she seemed ok, but i didn't tell her about the smell, cause i told her one million times and she doesn't believe me.

Soon after, the lead, Steve Eaton (coincidence with the name of the company) who does the scheduling, kinda jumped the turns and put Angela to do again too soon after last time the physically hardest job (boxes, or inverters) which involves unpacking, packing and lifting 20 pounds items for hundreds of times a day. She told him that she could only do it for 4 hours today, and then she was under the impression he went to HR and the supervisor (paranoia due to all kinda smokes we inhaled yesterday, it took me a long time to understand the mechanism, but that won't probably prevent me for quitting again a job at first trouble when under influence, if i could get one right now) who doesn't get involved too much, let Steve do most of his jobs, and he knew and escalated. So it turns on us. Angela got mad and went to the supervisor and complained about everything she could remember, including the fact she works there for 6 years and gets one dollar more than the temps. In the end she told him she can't lift that much (62 years old) because of back pain, hernia surgery (because she had to have too more surgeries after open heart to have 4 forgotten wires removed), and she said she will talk to the doctor when she goes for the appointment on March 1st (that was scheduled since last year) and the supervisor said, let us know. But now it's not like yesterday. That combined with the computer breaking down will slow me down me a little. I was even thinking today. To what good it serves all i do. Cause if people believe me, the market will start to go down and i will get in all sorts of problems. Cause i live in their simulation, but one or more levels deeper than everybody else. Though i can make some decisions, they have enough leverage on me to stop me if they wanted and now they want it.

One thing that gets both of us mad is the car. In pretty bad shape, misfiring (better said, severe engine imbalance and noises when we got it), we were happy when during the weekend, i would re-tighten the battery connectors before living and like magic the car would start to work so fine you wouldn't even hear the engine, and with mileages constantly above 40 on freeways. So i figured, probably low voltage at the fuel pump which leads to dripping of injectors, not washing the valves that become sticky (due to oil coming from intake from condensation of PCV gases). 

I said it many times before, during the 70s they figured a way to recirculate blow by gasses that pressurize the engine back in the intake, but with a side effect. Blow by gasses contain oil mist that condensates in the intake, a problem that becomes much more serious with the newer design with intakes underneath the engine head and in front of the engine where they get cooled.

I myself never quite understood for a long time why some gas sellers advertise their gas as engine cleaning. But this is the reasons. In gasoline injected cars injectors are upstream valves and the gas sprayed by those clean the valves, especially if it has good additives in. But the injectors themselves are sometimes affected by the oil from blow by, especially if the voltage at the fuel pump is not alternator voltage (14.5 for this car) but battery voltage (@12.5), which sometimes happens when the contact at the battery connectors is not perfect and battery is near full. One of the last things i've done at the other car was removing the paint under the ground (chassis) connector and saw that made a difference. At the old car though i had a catch can that would reduce the amount of oil that condensates in the intake, by "catching" it in a can. I was actually getting ready to install one on this car also (got the can from Amazon) but i didn't, because the car was running so fine after each re-tightening of the negative connector. The problem of dirty valve is much more serious at GDI (Gasoline Direct Injected) where the injectors are inside the cylinder, thus downstream valves.

But last night after i finished drilling the hole and tightened the connector again (with again 14.5 volts at the lighter plug measured with a digital charger) i remembered about the chassis connector. So i removed the adhesive i put on top of the screw (mostly to see that it doesn't get loose), took it apart (which involved removing the battery, the computer), cleaning those etc.. They were 4 ground connectors, and when i removed the (self tapping screws) i brought at the surface dirt from the other side, so i had to clean everything and torque those again. Can't tell how i felt every time i was using the little spray bottle with alcohol and young boys where dispatched to pass near me. But i remember when one of the passed and went to the grass area, where the moles are, i felt smoke, and went and took pictures of what appeared to be holes in the ground made with special shoes.

9:00 Found and ordered on ebay a ball joint from the car, OEM with... 15 dollars, however the shipping was 17. Box damaged (like many shipments with parts lately) and i think the main upper nut was missing. Two others where though enough to realize they are they type "toplock" that is the diameter of the thread is smaller at the top of the nut, to prevent from un-tightening. Those nuts are not to be reused of course and had to remove and reinstall some of those several times when i did struts and shafts.

Also got the box with 6 extra long wrenches, and i used one of them to tighten the same nuts on the car. If freshly tightened, the car is driving perfectly, so that was the problem. Got to order some of those, was thinking returning the ball joint, however, i will probably pay for the shipping and loose some more money, cause the part itself is only 15 dollars.

Had to remove some of those nuts several times when i did struts and shafts.

9:32 Today when i went outside at the car i saw again this guy. Dressed very poorly, looking of Ukrainian origin, with possible Ukrainian name, a Romanian orthodox bishop from the county where i am in Romania which borders with Ukraine, he went to the mail boxes and then searching something in some cardboard boxes and then he left (maybe he got those delivered, i didn't see). For a moment i was tempted to go and see what he was doing there.

Was thinking earlier of Angela's job. I remembered mines. Always with actors. In 1998 at Quadramed the supervisor manager was Andy Carson. Cameron Diaz, his secretary. Receptionist was one of those women from SNL. After that, at AVX, Axle Rose. Always living with fear  terror of loosing a job and everything, not caring to much who hour colleagues were (not that i knew) or Angela's are right now. I think i identified at least 3 of them until now. One left. One is the Japanese actress who acted as Pamela in Dallas movie, also as Transportation Secretary. The other one a Hungarian actor, forgot his name.  Him maybe? A bit of smoke through walls at home would make us happy, a bit more, mad. They were times when i thought Steve was this guy.

10:50 Angela now remembers she also told the supervisor (don't know the name, i know the previous one looked like Brad Pitt and Steve was doing the scheduling that is assigning daily tasks for all team members during all three in the past 6 years, none of them did much) that she was never trained to do the easy jobs, and Steve (with latest example, today) assigns to others tasks that she already done the day before. What she didn't tell was Steve was/is assigning easiness tasks for himself, with lots of overtimes and high pay of course.

Angela's main competitors there are relatives (the two "Chinese" sisters, girlfriend and boyfriend etc..

December 14

12:52


11:57 Today it was the peak of traffic incidents ever. An unusual number of people driving erratically in parking lots, backing up unexpectedly in my way, things like that. At home, i had 2 one gallon water bottles containing each ounces of oil and dirt mixed with CRC cleaner that i squeezed twice (with engine running) in a vacuum port and then in the throttle and then vacuumed from the bottom of the intake manifold of my "new" Elantra using a thin rubber hose attached to a pump and those are both gone and none of us remembers throwing them out. Had an appointment, went to DMV, finished the application for titling and registering the car, paid for custom plates because i don't wanna have problems like i had with the "sequence" plates with JKB. Got another temporary number, for 4 months, waiting for plates, but can't tape it on the rear windshield because of the radio antenna/heater printed on glass. Last time i put one of those there, when i peeled it out it came with pieces of the printed antenna. So i will put it as the current one on the left rear side windows, the next place recommended. I also ordered parts for a catch can, to prevent oil vapor from PCV getting in the intake.

October 26

5:10 Angela is doing overtime today, she went at 5. When i got back, though i didn't make any noise, he awoke and started the drier...

7:40 Back with a vengeance, keeping me awake since 5, second load of laundry, ignoring the fact the dryer is broken, doubled by a walking robot with a feedback on my brain, squeaking and stomping.

7:53 BTW Have you seen the latest from Boston Dynamics?

9:58 I thought it was condensation water in his dryer's exhaust pipe and tried to insert a piece of PCV tubing attached to a pump (i had it to vacuum the oil from old Elantra's manifold) through the vent, however i didn't pull any water. I remember the problem with his drier started in spring, not in winter. Most likely it's clogged with lint and there's nothing i can do about (or maybe vacuum it with a vacuum hose). I remember, after a couple of weeks i fixed  those pipes, like shown in the post linked, they came with some rotary tools and cleaned the pipes. By the end i was done i saw a "woman" climbing stairs in building D who from behind looked like the handy "woman".

10:55 She looks like a woman i see sometimes smoking on the alley here.

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.

An Accident Waiting to Happen

After 6 hours of sleep i came at the computer to check the value of my car and briefly read the news. The guy upstairs started the TV so loud i can be hear from the alley. After i started to type he came above and started to squeak the floor

The loud TV makes it hard to concentrate and remember things. Last night around midnight i was driving on I5 towards Portland near exit 2. I was doing 60 on cruise control in a 60 (96km/h) area mainly because i had on right rear wheel a spare.

Earlier in that day i had a flat and the Les Schwab guy showed me that the rim of the tire from the flat was damaged beyond repair "from the previous installation" (done in the same shop) and i ordered 2 new tires for rear, which are 100k (Michelin). This model of Hyundai do not come with a spare but with a pump and a can of glue you attach to it and i found a spare that size in the junkyard from a Ford.

Suddenly i saw in the center mirror a couple of headlights coming at high speed and since i didn't know exactly what i had in that instant on my right in the blind spot, though i knew they were 3-4 cars around me, i stayed on my lane and all i could do was tell Angela "hold, this guy is gonna hit us" and probably hit the gas pedal to smoothen the impact which occurred within 2-3 seconds after i saw it first. I got sped up, the man was slowed down, i looked in the right mirror and at my right and pulled on the shoulder.

The guy switched in the left lane, they were 4-5 cars all around him on the empty freeway and he accelerated and was gone. A white pickup probably a Ford with off-road wheels.

I stayed and thought for about 5 minutes, last drink i had was before 7 PM, and called 911. The operator kept asking me if i was injured, with that noise of the freeway i thought she said insured and kept saying yes, finally switched me to another operator who sent the State Patrol.

Minutes were passing. One guy with an old SUV stopped and asked if i needed help. Wind was blowing from his direction and exhaust started to choke me. Then he finally left and two Washington State Patrol SUVs came. While i was talking to the cop, a sports car with modified exhaust zoomed at high speed on the right lane or next to us. One minute later a Police car followed. The cop said i should pull somewhere else, i told him why couldn't we go on the exit that was just ahead, and then we agreed to him driving first, me following and the other Patrol SUV was coming from behind.

I was a little shocked, felt heat and a bit of pain in the back, jaws, now it's all gone, earlier and lately my shoulders are hurting, from inflammation in the esophagus from dust and bacterial infection that transmits in nearby tissues combined with some light exercise and work on car. Angela was a little shocked as well, she had a headache before it all started that didn't go away and only slept 3 hours. Kept talking about insurance and what to do with the car.

She was scheduled to work overtime today. Yeah i know we shouldn't have gone, there was a moment of indecision, but they were three days of litter dust (didn't happen or didn't happen at this scale for a long time) dust was still lingering after i fixed yesterday afternoon a few holes in the ceiling and i was curious about the last fix i've done at the car, with the adhesive on top of battery connector nuts which was holding, but in the meantime too much oil gathered in the intake, should try again to vacuum the intake etc. Lately i've been used to take a break from here and felt like it was the time.

We then won a few hands recovering most of what Angela lost and as usually she decided we should go home. Thinking. If someone wants to manipulate us with the machines, they can do it at their chosen time. I wasn't aware, in my mind, that she should have started Saturday at 4 AM so we left i don't know, 11:30 or something when we left.

When i came at the car i hit with my foot an orange lid from an saline enema bottle, like it's been used and left there, i have some of those at home, can't go without those, for a long time now, got some sort of sciatic paralysis of that area. Casually i bent and picked that thinking it might have come from my pocket when i grabbed the keys, then i thought it was impossible, never put those things in my pocket and then i regretted it and nervously tried to wipe it out with some toilet paper which i threw in a garbage can.

Like when we came, some weird maneuvers around us, with cars and people bullying us, and that was indeed more than usual, could have been a sign if i was capable to think. Few people realize how much exposure to this kind of dust, other pollutants can influence you, especially if moment is well chosen.

Car was still making the (lifter) noise at low speed and idling when i left, voltage at the cigarette lighter plug was 14.3, i guess my fix was holding, fuel mileage reading was better than average, 38.6 at the time of accident, round trip and driving in huge parking lot at Ilani included.

The cop stopped at 39 and H streets in Vancouver, not far from exit next to a property called G&G, in an area called Minehaha?! He gave me some paperwork to fill, car was driveable, but he said i should not drive since the car cannot take another hit like this, which might have been true, he said they got their contracting towing who might come faster than insurance (within 30 minutes in the contract), towing came soon but they said they won't go that far, which was only 22 miles though.

I had some anxiety, forced myself to breath (on mouth) and kept coughing. I told the cops, it was from the dust at the apartment in the last few days. But impact could have raised some dust in the car as well. Thing is, i kept coughing.

I called our insurance, and from the start menu, i could not call a towing unless i file the claim for the accident first. Which is incredible, they kept me with the claim half hour on the phone, right after the accident before they sent a towing (Progressive). They didn't give me a phone number to call to check status of the towing, like Farmers had and towing didn't call within next 10 minutes so i just decided to drive not knowing if they will ever call. When i got back on the freeway, the towing finally called.

Was doing 55 in the right lane, one more episode, a Ryder rental van again came from behind, threatening, i pulled on the shoulder. So the cop was right. Then another guy passed me on the empty freeway with LPN MTZ. "Mai târziu" means Later in Romania.

It's been a constant harassment by all drivers on the freeway no exception on my way back home at night from Vancouver in the past few years, with license numbers letter combinations closed to KGB, cisterns, trucks with logos, high speed passes on right, left lanes and sometimes simultaneously, but tonight was special.

So i kept looking in the mirror for trucks, cause i figured the courageous ninja wouldn't hit me with another car which was true. Because i stopped a couple of times, my total mileage on the dashboard was 37.6 when i exited. One more thing. Earlier that day the warning light for airbags came on. So those would not have worked probably in a rollover or something like that.

Cop never gave me a copy of his report, but now that i think, they can all pretend, including the driver who ran (that is a felony) that i was too slow and suddenly switched lanes drifting maybe, losing control of the car when he hit me which is not true, i was holding my lane pretty well. I know some would try to explain the accident by me driving slow, drifting maybe, and a guy speeding, maybe drunk, coming from behind. I will never forget those two headlights i saw in the mirror coming from behind straight at me.

All i can think is it was stupid, driving 40+40 miles on a spare on the freeway, after all that happened there in the past.

I think car is fixable, Angela says price of cars have gone up these days, it needs a trunk lid, a bumper and some frame straightening. Now waiting for insurance to call. Or should i go online to see what's under "my account".

Several highlights for this post. Myth maintaining. Their maneuvers with their numerous actors and extras on the scene everywhere i go tried to create and maintain the gay myth and the KGB myth. This week was special because Monday is August 23, the day when ex King Michael of Romania led a coup against Marshal Antonescu, while the soviets where about to occupy Romania, many, including some Romanians, Hungarians and Japanese seeing him as a traitor. Forgotten today by the majority, some say it shortened WWII with at least 6 months and contributed to defeating of Germany and Japan by an alliance led by US which included Soviet Union.

Michaels' next to Mud Bay in Tualatin. Think of George Michael. Michael Caina. And my insurance contact on the claim page is named Salinas.


Catalytic, wheel stolen recently, 2 flats on the same tire, two cars smashed in the parking lot at Meridian, one a white Elantra, what could have been next.

Just looked on Progressive site under my account. Claim has been received and that's all. Last night she said something about texts on the phone, none so far.

On October 26 2012 a similar accident occured. A small but heavy built Nissan Z hit me from behind trying to push me in traffic at a yield sign in Lake Oswego (Yes, Country club Rd).

Just took a picture of the damage of the car again on daylight. The reason it looks like this and not worse is i had one of the car's wide aluminum wheels, fully inflated in the spare's compartment. This car does not come with a spare hough it has the compartment for it. However i found one at the junkyard (for a Ford) that fitted both as size and distance between bolts. Right now i had that spare on the car (right rear) and the regular wheel in that space, because the guys at Les Schwab told me i had some damage on the rim of the tire. Now they played the scene of the mad drunk driver who hit me from behind because i was slow whatever. But i am sure the writers of this scene knew i had the wheel there which protected the fuel tank. Sometimes they use these psychological traps, to make everything more interesting. To make people who really wanted me dead last night ever more mad because of my "legendary luck".
