Now for some routine computer work. CIO

Note:<888>02/13/01 Tuesday 2:25 A.M. EST: I tried to put the Ducros peppercorns in my peppermill, but they have a built in pepper grinder; so one can not remove the jar lid. I left the Ducros peppercorns with mill next to my empty peppermill. I just had two hotdogs with buns and condiments and ice tea. CIO
Note:<888>02/13/01 Tuesday 2:05 A.M. EST: I went out. It was snowing lightly. I used the ATM. I drove down by the waterfront. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then walked up to the top of the Avenue, and I sat out a bit. I then walked down the Avenue, and I sat out a bit. I then drove down by the waterfront.

I will drop off the pictures for developing tomorrow at CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I threw out my extra grocery bags. I put $10 more on my McCray laundry card, so I have $13.10 on it. I will now fill the pepper mill. I then will do a little regular computer work. CIO

I then drove over to CVS in Old Greenwich, and I bought Phillie Natural cigar cigarettes for $16.99 plus $1.02 tax for $18.01. I then stopped by Staples and there are not sale items this week.

I then went downtown, and I stopped by Zyns and bought a package of Bugler cigarette tobacco for $1.54. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I next stopped by the Grand Union. I a gallon of Xtra liquid detergent for $2.99, a 5 pound bag of Idaho potatoes for .99, Lipton 100 count tea bags $1.99, two Progresso light clam chowder for .99 each, a Stouffer's 21 oz. lasagna for $2.95 with .55 Stouffer's coupon, a bottle of Pine Sol 28 oz. $2.59, Ajax liquid anti bacterial liquid detergent $1.19, two Quakers Honey Oats cereal for $2.50 each, and a head of broccoli for .99 for $20.53 total.

I then did some redecorating. I put the IBM and the Panasonic typewriters along with the scanner box underneath the day bed removing them from the bedroom desk. I then moved the back up computer set up from the living room desk to the bedroom desk which took a bit of time. I left the gray LAN cable that leads to the cable modem but disconnected on the living room desk. I then put my other desk items from the dining table on the desk. I also put the living room coffee table out, so it is centered on the green couch instead of the blue couch. I now have a more open looking living room. I straighten up some minor items. I put new batteries in my camera, and I used up the rest of the film photographing the apartment with all the lights on. I also noticed that my refrigerator was set on "1" instead of "5" which is why the milk was spoiling after a couple of days and other food, so I turned it up to "5" out a maximum of "6". Well time for some regular computer work. CIO
Note:<888>02/12/01 Monday 4:05 P.M. EST: I was up at 2:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of Post Honey oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I just finished vacuuming the apartment. I will now clean up and go out. CIO

Note:<888>02/11/01 Sunday 9:50 P.M. EST: Dinner was delicious. The CD player is working fine. I would not recommend cleaning the laser on a CD Player unless one knew what they're doing. I removed the case cover. I then loosened and removed the back circuit board exposing the laser with the power turned off since laser light on the eyes is very dangerous. I might have had the carousel opened. The laser lens looked fine, but I cleaned it with a cotton swap doused in alcohol, and when I tested it, it all worked fine. I guess film from smoking coats it about every two years. Still if one turned on the Cdplayer with the laser lens exposed, one would risk serious eye injury. Of course I could not afford a new one, so now I once again have classical music. I think it was malfunctioning since before Christmas. Well time for house cleaning. CIO
Note:<888>02/11/01 Sunday 8:55 P.M. EST: I did not fall asleep until 8 A.M. this morning. I was up at 2:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I was just about ready to start house cleaning when instead, I took out my Magnavox disk CD player from my home entertainment wrack. I went out to my car to get my tools with the hex wrenches to open up. I opened up the CD player, and I cleaned off the smoke from the laser lens, so it now plays properly now without skipping. I also lubricated the sliding carousel. This all took a while, but the Magnavox CD player is now playing just fine. I had this done about two years when under warranty, so I knew what the problem was. I also backed up my C: drive to the D: drive while doing this. I will put my tools back in the car, and will start house cleaning after having some sliced lamb, microwave potato, steamed green beans, and ice tea for dinner. CIO
Note:<888>02/11/01 Sunday 5:55 A.M. EST: I finished the laundry. I then relaxed a bit and watched a bit of television. Time for bed. CIO
Note:<888>02/11/01 Sunday 2:35 A.M. EST: I went out, and I drove down by the waterfront. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then walked up to the top of the Avenue, and I sat out for a while. I then walked back down the Avenue and around the train station area. I then drove down by the waterfront. I then took a drive, and I drove out to Westchester County airport. I studied the flight schedules on the monitors to know where our air traffic is coming from. It anyone has serious medical problems, they have a morning flight on Sunday on American Airlines at around 9:15 A.M. to Rochester Minnesota, where the Mayo Clinic is. Of course it would be rather chilly in Rochester right now. I then drove downtown. I stopped by Greenwich Capital Associates to see how they were doing. I then returned home. I started my laundry. I am on the dry cycle right now. I will be done with it in about a half hour. I had two hot dogs with condiments and buns and ice tea just now. Well with the window fan blowing the electric radiator heat around the apartment instead of having it rise through the drop ceiling the apartment seems a bit warmer on this cold evening. I will have to see what the electricity bill is this month when I get it, and see if it is any cheaper. This evening, I felt good walking since on colder nights around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, there is less humidity, so my arthritis was not aggravated. I also wore a turtle neck, long john bottoms, with my street clothes and down parka and Icelandic knit cap. I don't wear thick socks since in walking a lot, one's feet might get sweaty and then cold and damp, just regular cotton socks. There are still small patches of ice out. CIO
Note:<888>02/10/01 Saturday 9:10 P.M. EST: Dinner was delicious. I will now change the sheets on my bed, clean up, and go out for a breath of fresh air. CIO
Note:<888>02/10/01 Saturday 7:45 P.M. EST: I chatted with a relative. I chatted with a friend. I checked my mail. I am now cooking the leg of lamb 2.3 pounds in the convection oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour and ten minutes. I seasoned the lamb with rosemary, ginger, ground pepper, garlic powder, celery salt, Italian spices, Chinese five spice, and Indian hot curry. I guess I will have a few slices of lamb, with steamed frozen green beans, and microwaved potato, along with ice tea. I am only having coffee when I wake up now, and not a second cup with dinner, since the second cup tends to wire me out a bit. Well the lamb should be done in 40 minutes. CIO
Note:<888>02/10/01 Saturday 4:15 P.M. EST: I was up at 2:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of wheaties and post honey oats, orange juice, vitamins, coffee, and toast. I will do a little internet work, and then go out I guess. CIO

I then returned home. I will now start scanning more pictures. CIO
Note:<888>02/09/01 Friday 6:25 P.M. EST: I had a Stouffer's 21 oz. lasagna for dinner along with ice. I cleaned up, and I am ready to go out for some fresh air. CIO
Note:<888>02/09/01 Friday 4:30 P.M. EST: I just checked with the Greenwich Library reference desk "http://www.greenwich.lib.ct.us/", and they now have 360,000 items in their collection. The last time I heard this figure five years or so ago, it was around 60,000; so the Greenwich Library has increased its collection around six fold in the last half dozen years. Well enjoy you browsing, if you stop by. CIO
Note:<888>02/09/01 Friday 3:30 P.M. EST: I was up at 10:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I chatted with a family member. I fell back asleep until now. Well I guess I will do a little regular internet work. CIO

Note:<888>02/08/01 Thursday 9:30 P.M. EST: I mailed the letter. I stopped by the library and read the Wall Street Journal. I checked out a book about "Tutankhamun" by T.G.H. James and photos by A. De Luca. I cruised around town and down by the waterfront. I for go my evening walk since it is a bit damp. Well time to do some experimenting with the scanner. CIO

I then drove down by the waterfront. I then stopped by the Arnold Bread outlet. I bought two loaves of Freihofers 7 grain bread for $2.32 both. I then went over to Port Chester. I went to the The Vitamin Shoppe at the shopping center. I bought a 240 tablet economy size container of Glucosamine Chondroitin for $46.17 at the 40% discount. I noticed this particular formula is much stronger than Fresh Field arthrirescue and it does not have Magnesium in it that can cause Parkinsons syndrome. It has 500 mg. of Glucosamine Sulfate and 400 mg. of Chondroitin Sulfate A, but it also has other ingredients. I noticed their 500 mg. 100 tablet bottles of Niacinamide is half the price I have been paying at the village HealthMart. I then toured Staples and Odd Job. I returned home, and I chatted with a neighbor. I will now write a letter to a family member. CIO
