Note:<888>03/15/01 Thursday 9:10 P.M. EST: Well I was up at 12:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop. They have a solid cherry dining table with two leaves for $400. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the waterfront. I stopped by the library and returned two videos and checked out one. I noticed the new Stop and Shop is not open yet, but it looks like they're interviewing for jobs. I returned home, and I relaxed a bit. I had the same dinner as last night with potato instead of baked beans. I chatted with a couple of family members. I put the brass bell in the kitchen entrance way and moved the oak end table in front of the bar. I sorted some of my bar glasswear. I now have a more open entryway into the living room sitting area and bedroom hallway. I rehung a picture where the bell was and a couple of other hanging items. Time to go out for some fresh air.

Note:<888>03/15/01 Thursday 1:00 A.M. EST: I finished making the ice tea. I checked out various relevant remote control information on the internet, and I guess I would need a GE Jelco remote to have the cable box, VCR, and TV all work off one remote. I took the old cable box off the bedroom Proscan TV, since the Proscan cable ready TV directly connected on the A antenna with autoprogram recognizes most all the Optimum channels. I still have the living room Optimum and VCR cable on the Proscan B channel. Around midnight I had a fried hamburger with bun and condiments with fried onion, baked beans, steamed asperagus, ice tea, and decaffinated instant coffee for dinner. I watched a bit of public television about ancient Britain. Well, I have a second video, so I will watch it. CIO

Note:<888>03/14/01 Wednesday 7:55 P.M. EST: I was up at 1 P.M. today. I had Post raisin bran, orange juice, cappucinno, toast, and vitamins. I fell back asleep until 5 P.M.. I then rerouted a cable from the living room wall, cable connector with a splitter because the bedroom cable connector does not work. On the old RCA Proscan, I hooked up an old cable Box on channel A, and channel B I still have the living room feed with Optimum and the VCR. I can thus change channels in the bedroom now. The old 20 inch Proscan is cable ready, and I don't really need to use the old cable box, but since I had it, I used it. I got my plyers out of the car for tightening connections. In the dumpster, I found a dozen coat hangers and a piece of air conditioning plexiglass, I put in the back of the car. I put the extra hangers in the bedroom closet. I chatted with a family member. I recieved a post card from a relative from Antartica that has since returned. I am making up a batch of ice tea. I will have a couple of hotdogs with buns condiments, ice tea and decafinated instant coffee shortly. I will then clean up and go out in a while for some fresh air. CIO

I guess if you read Scott's Notes, you're beginning to realize Greenwich is like the old television series, "The Prisoner." You know a quaint Victorian Resort for former government employees, where none of the residents are ever allowed to leave, and are kept under constant surveillance. Well maybe not, but some times, it seems like it. CIO

I stopped by the Food Emporium, and I bought two cans of AC Pork and Beans for .49 each, Ground Round at $3.59 a pound for $4.26, AC ine cleaner $1.79, Kikkoman Soy Sauce $2.59, Lipton 24 bags of Green Tea $3.29, and hamburger rolls .99 for $14.01 total.

I will now watch a video. CIO

Note:<888>03/13/01 Tuesday 9:40 A.M. EST: I am having trouble falling asleep. I watched a bit of television. I fiddled with the remotes. I checked on my two $30 Visoneer Scanner rebates, and they should be coming in the next few days. Well time for bed. CIO

The unit weighs about 60 pounds unpacked. I put my Volvo trunk holdings in the back seat, and I put the Orion TV in the box in the trunk with the lid open. This was the first time, I had ever been in a Walmart, although I have been in Sams. I drove down the Merritt Parkway back to Greenwich. It was no problem carrying the television the short way up the stairs since I parked by the side door. I put the 20 inch Proscan in the bedroom. I put an identical larger speaker on top of the existing speaker the TV sat on to raise it up. I put the new Orion TV in the same location as the old TV. I hooked the Proscan up in the bedroom with the 24 foot cable I had bought. The bedroom TV plays off the cable box in the living room or the VCR. I straightened up and saved. the box in the bedroom for now. For now the cable remote does not turn on the TV, but one has to use the TV remote. All the other cable remote features are teh same. The Orion is made in the United States, and it has excellent reception and great sterio sound. I tired getting instructions from Cablevision for setting up the cable remote, but it did not work for on off on the TV. I left the new fire extinquisher on the front seat of the car. I took out the old smoke detectors and installed a second new First Alert smoke detector in the hallway outside the bedroom entrance. I put new long life batteries in both of them. I put the second lazy susan the old TV was sitting on underneath the existing lasy susan on the dining room table. I had a Barqs frosted rootbeer when I returned home.
