Note:<888>02/21/01 Wednesday 6:00 P.M. EST: Well, I went back out. Aparently the reason it is getting a bit cooler is that Mount Cleveland up on the Altheun Pennisula near Dutch Harbor blew up yesterday which would tend to produce cooler weather this time of year. I stopped by downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Harbor. The town roads department has a problem in that they graded the sidewalk crossing in front of the train station, so that when ever it rains and freezes or their is snow, ice, or sleet a patch of ice about three yards area forms right where one exits the trains station and walk down to the crosswalk. Also the street light there across the street is burned out frequently. I guess anyone coming out to Greenwich should be careful they don't slip there and break a bone of injure themselves. After walking lower Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by ELDC thrift shop and bought six wooden hangers for 25 cents each plus .09 tax for $1.59 total. I had to go next door to get change at the Mobil Station, so I bought a buy one get one free of Marlboro Milds for $4.25 . I then went back downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue again, and I then sat and enjoyed the end of the day for a spell. I then returned home, and I had a glass of ice tea. I will have a Stouffer's chicken fetticini hearty meal for dinner shortly along with ice tea. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>02/21/01 Wednesday 2:25 P.M. EST: Well I went out. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop. They have a $25 bag sale going on. I walked over to Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street and withdrew funds. I went back and bought a 50 star United States flag four foot by eight foot for $4. I then drove downtown and toured the Mews Marry Go Round Thrift shop. I then drove by the waterfront. I next stopped by the library and checked out a couple of books. I then returned home and had ice tea. I took a couple of Tums because the hotdogs are giving me heartburn. I took the Saudi Arbian flag down from the right side of the living room and hung it over the bedroom window. I put the new United States flag on the right side of the living room windows. It is nice out, so I will go out for some fresh air. Cheerio. CIO

Note:<888>02/21/01 Wednesday 11:15 A.M. EST: I did my regular internet work. I signed the paper work. I had sliced hotdogs with brown rice and ice tea for lunch. Now I will go out for some fresh air. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>02/21/01 Wednesday 8:25 A.M. EST: I went to bed at 9 P.M. last night. I was up at 4:30 P.M. this morning. I had breakfast of Wheaties, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I rested until about 7 A.M.. I hung a Quail picture on the wall behind my computer. I went outside for some morning air. It is nice now, but it is suppose to get very cold tonight. I have to sign paper work at 10 A.M.. I will do some regular internet work until then. CIO

Note:<888>02/20/01 Tuesday 8:00 P.M. EST: I rested until 2 P.M. because I kept hitting the snooze bar on the alarm. I dressed quickly without cleaning up, and I made my 2:30 appointment. I then returned some books at the library. I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I then stopped by the central Greenwich Post Office, and I mailed my letter in a Priority Mail Flat Rate package up to two pounds with the photo printouts and a leather bound Time Magazine 1976 bicentenial addition to add weight for $3.95 to a relative. I had the postal clerk put on a $3.20 Space Shuttle stamp in case anyone collects stamps. I then went down by the harbor. I drove over to Tod's Point, and I drove around. I sat out for a while. I then stopped by CVS in Old Greenwich, and I bought Phillie cigar cigarettes for $16.99 plus $1.02 CT. tax for $18.01. I then stopped by Staples, and they had the Pierre Cardin pen and pencil sets for $6.90 down from $9.99 . I looked at them all, and I bought the black and silver arch deco set for $6.90 plus .41 Ct. tax for $6.31 total. Staples this week also has an HP printer for $100 with a $30 mailin rebate. Maxtor 20 meg drives are on sale for $80 plus there is a $20 mailin rebate. I did not see any in stock though. Perhaps another store would have them. I also noticed the Visoneer 2200 USB copies is $60 with an additional $50 maiin rebate for $10. Thus there are bargains to be had if one has money. I then returned home. I had a Barq's rootbeer in a frosted mug. I put the pen and pencil set on the desk, putting the pen in a Brazilian stone pen holder a friend gave me. The engraved Mark Cross Pen was lifted from it, by three Irish visitors who came over for beer when I lived on Steamboat Road many years ago. I watched the ABC evening news. I sliced two hotdogs and put them in a bowl of herbal brown rice and heated it all for dinner with ice tea. I threw out my old Krups coffee espresso machine. Well I have to sign some paper work with the Housing Authority tomorrow morning, so I guess I will start relaxing and go to bed in a little while. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>02/20/01 Tuesday 10:00 A.M. EST: I had a Red Baron Pizza with ice tea. I rested a short spell. I tinkered with my default settings. I can not figure out why the *.jpg pictures I posted show up so enlarged when in the photo editors they are the right size. Perhaps it is just one of those flukes. Well I might rest a bit more. I have a 2:30 P.M. appointment. CIO

Note:<888>02/20/01 Tuesday 5:25 A.M. EST: I did my paper work. I downloaded the online photos from the CVS Kodak site, but they were too small. I scanned the 1998 pictures of myself with mother in Maine. I also scanned 13 pictures of my apartment interior that I also posted at "http://mrscott.com/picms" . I printed out copies of the pictures that I will send to a relative with a letter that I will write shortly. CIO

Note:<888>02/20/01 Tuesday 12:55 A.M. EST: I woke up at 6 P.M.. I chatted with a friend at 6:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee.

Note:<888>02/19/01 Monday 7:45 A.M. EST: I finished scanning the diary by 1 A.M.. I then edited and proofed the document to be more readable. Some parts are misformated, but over all I have a fairly good print out. I was not able to have left and right margins, since Microsoft Word would not handle the longer lines easily. I printed it out in PostScript Type 172 pages long and put it in a Oxford Blue clip binder. Well time for a bite to eat. Then I will go out and pick up my photos at CVS. CIO

Note:<888>02/18/01 Sunday 10:55 P.M. EST: I went out. One of the local tenants left a MAC computer and Wordperfect 6.1 on the dumpster which I left there. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. It was busy for a Sunday night. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned home. Time to start scanning. CIO

Note:<888>02/18/01 Sunday 3:25 A.M. EST: I scanned 45 pages of the diary print out. I will now relax a bit before going to bed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>02/18/01 Sunday 1:40 A.M. EST: I finished the rice at midnight, and I started the laundry. The laundry just finished the dry cycle, so I will go down and collect it. I just had a bowl of the steamed herbal brown rice with ice tea. I also changed the sheets on my bed. I have scanned 35 pages of the diary. CIO

I will scan more diary pages. I will start my laundry about midnight. CIO

Note:<888>02/17/01 Saturday 4:15 P.M. EST: I tried running the computer at 450 MHz, but it did not work at that speed. I then started running Norton antivirus on all files, and I went to bed. I just got up. I made a phone call to a relative. Norton antivirus ran successfully and there are no viruses. I will now have three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I will then clean up and go out. CIO

Note:<888>02/17/01 Saturday 8:05 A.M. EST: Also my email has not worked all night. Maybe there is some mischef going on the internet. CIO

Note:<888>02/17/01 Saturday 7:55 A.M. EST: I logged onto "www.pcchips.com", but when I was going to FTP a new bios, my system bios messed up. I reinstalled the old bios and all was fine. However, when I rebooted Norton Disk Doctor started changeing my file dates before I caught it. I had not set the right file date in the CMOS. I then reinstalled the updated bios 10/12/00 . My system is running fine pretty much the same. I can live with the changed file dates at 01/01/80 since they are mostly at the first level folders and not the sub folders. Well time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>02/17/01 Saturday 5:20 A.M. EST: I found a print out of my daily diary from 06/91 - 2/95 that I will scan. I will not publish it since it is a diary. I quit using Daily Diary since it did not work with Windows. With TextBridge, I scan about 5 pages at a time. I went driving the following night after the worst storm of the century, so it was not so bad here. CIO

Note:<888>02/17/01 Saturday 3:25 A.M. EST: I just had a turkey sandwich. I watched a bit of television. I watched a special about the worst storm of the century on St. Patricks Day 1993. I don't have a written record of that event, but I had just bought a used 386 computer for $1,000; so I was probably inside working on it. I think I had the Volvo then, so I would have been able to drive in the snow. I do remember one storm I think earlier that winter when we had a four and a half foot snow storm. I believe that particular winter we had 10 to 12 snow falls. Well time to start heading off to bed. CIO

Note:<888>02/16/01 Friday 10:40 P.M. EST: I tested the new CDs on the computer CD player, and they play fine. Maybe my older music CD player does not play the present CD format. The older CDs are playing on it fine right now. CIO

Note:<888>02/16/01 Friday 10:30 P.M. EST: I went by CVS, and the photos still are not ready.
