Note:<888>04/21/01 Saturday 9:30 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I walked one and a half times around Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while a couple of times. I drove by the waterfront. I returned home. I am cooking dinner. I took a Pyrex pie dish, and I added a couple tablespoons of olive oil. I washed a half boneless breast of chicken. I rubbed it in the olive oil and put it in the dish. I peeled and sliced in half a onion and added it to the dish. I put in a third of a cup of white wine. I started microwaving a potato half way done. I added to the chicken breast chicken poultry seasoning, ground black pepper, celery salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Oregano, Basil, and Pepperica. I put on several pads of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter". I added to the dish the half cooked potato. I am cooking it all in the convection oven at 350 degrees farenheit for 35 minutes. I will have it all for dinner with reheated peas and ice tea. CIO

Note:<888>04/21/01 Saturday 6:40 P.M. EDT: I went back to bed until 3:30 P.M.. I had two hotdogs with buns and condiments and ice tea and coffee. I cleaned my apartment, and I watered the plants. I will now go out for some fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>04/21/01 Saturday 11:45 A.M. EDT: I was up at 9 A.M., and I had breakfast of Quaker Honey Oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I chatted with a relative. CIO

Note:<888>04/20/01 Friday 11:20 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while. I then went down by the waterfront, and I chatted with a fisherman. I returned home, and I had two hot dogs with condiments and buns and ice tea. Well time to start winding down. Have a good night. CIO

Note:<888>04/20/01 Friday 3:50 P.M. EDT: I went down by the waterfront for a bit of time this morning. I made my 11 A.M. appointment. I stopped by Smokes for Less, and I bought a carton of Seneca Lights 100s for $19. I returned home. About 1 P.M., I had a fried hamburger with fried slice onion and bun and condiments along with steamed frozen peas and microwave potato and ice tea. I just took a nap, and I woke up about a half hour ago. One of my new GE 15 watt frosted bulbs from Walmart burned out, so I replaced it on the old sconse with a 25 watt clear bulb. It is covered with a shade, so it does not clare. Well time for cappucinno. CIO

Note:<888>04/20/01 Friday 9:35 A.M. EDT: I put the Commonwealth Products on display again. I checked the mail. I have a 11 A.M. appointment. Time for some fresh air. CIO

End of Scott's Notes week 04/20/01:

Note:<888>04/20/01 Friday 7:15 A.M. EDT: I was up at 5:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I was told the reason for all the eagles downtown is that the restaurants have been throwing away a lot of good garbage, and that they have been feasting on it. I centered the brass and glass coffee table on the long green couch instead of the day bed. With it slid down to the left of the day bed, one can get onto the day bed without stepping on the glass table. However, I would put the day bed pillows on the glass and brass table, so if one fell out of it, they would not hurt themself badly on the table. The cruise ship QE II "http://www.cunardline.com/" is arriving in Manhattan now from South Hampton, England heading to Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Lisbon, Portugal; and back to South Hampton before returning to Manhattan. The Greenwich Harbor Inn is in the mist of a remodeling into a five star hotel, so it is not available to guests until around October 2001. We see lots of visitors all the time, so perhaps with warmer weather, more will be showing up. CIO

Note:<888>04/19/01 Thursday 9:15 P.M. EDT: After dinner, I stopped by the library. I read the Wall Street Journal. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out a while. Well time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/19/01 Thursday 5:15 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York, and then the Hospital Thrift shop, then the bank again. I then went back to the thrift shop, and they sold me a pair of double light brass Williamsburg sconses for $40 for the pair. I then made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then returned home. I took of the plug wires off the old pair of bathroom type sconses, and put them on the new sconses. I put them in the same place above the mirror above the Queen Anne chair. I put in 15 watt frosted bulbs. The tops of the 15 watt bulbs are about 2 inches from the drop cieling, however 15 watts don't emit much heat. I would not use any brighter wattage witout lowering them several inches which would mean lowering the mirror. For now they're fine. Light most the lights, they switch on with the door switch. Time to cook a boneless breast of chicken with microwave potato and steamed frozen peas for dinner with ice tea. CIO

Note:<888>04/19/01 Thursday 12:50 P.M. EDT: I did my regular internet routine. I installed Acrobat Reader 5.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0 and Outlook Express 6.0. I also reinstalled Apache. I ran Norton Disk Doctor and Norton WinDoctor. I will now have a hamburger with fried onions, asperagus, and microwave potato, and ice tea for lunch. I will then clean up and go out for my 3 P.M. appointment. CIO

Note:<888>04/19/01 Thursday 8:00 A.M. EDT: I was up at 6 A.M.. I had breakfast of Quaker Honey Oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I watched a bit of television. I saw on a Connecticut legislature assembly telecast that it is now 120 days in jail for drinking and driving second offence. I don't drink myself. However, I see people involved in public relations and entertainment that do. I guess they need to use limosines when going out to dinner if drinking alcohol to avoid prosecution. I thus hid away some of my products from the United Kingdom and Commonwealth chambers of commerce in the usual place. I guess I will do a little computer work. CIO

Note:<888>04/18/01 Wednesday 10:15 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I read the Wall Street Joournal at the library. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out a while. I drove down by the waterfront. I drove around town a bit. I stopped by the Food Emporium, and I bought boneless chicken breasts at a $1.99 pound for $3.40. I returned home. Time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/18/01 Wednesday 7:30 P.M. EDT: I went back out after lunch. I drove by the waterfront. I stopped by ELDC thrift shop, and I bought a pair of red Vaurnet sun glasses for $1.06. I went by the library, and I read the local paper. I stopped by the Hospital thrift shop, and I bought 4 cloth 4 inch sconse light shades for $2.50 each for $10 total. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while. I then drove by the waterfront. I returned home, and I had a Nestea Ice Tea in a frosted mug. I put the four shades on the sconses, so they don't glare. I chatted with a relative. I watched the ABC evening news. I had a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments and ice tea. Well time to start ending the day. CIO

Note:<888>04/18/01 Wednesday 1:50 P.M. EDT: I went out and I drove a nieghbor over to Port Chester, New York. I stopped by the Greenwich waterfront. I remounted my Ship to Shore interior antenna with black electrical tape in the rear window. The suction cup had deteriorated in the sun over the years. I checked it, and it is working fine. I replaced a rear backup light. I checked all the other lights, and they're fine. I sanded the destributor cap rotor and its interior contacts to remove ignition buildup. I put a rubber hose sleeve on the ingnition coil wire where it was touching the brake cylander. I cleaned the interior windshield. Earlier in the week, I sprayed WD40 on the battery terminals, and throttle mechanism. I then stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop. I went by Gateway Automotive, and I bought a Gates fan belt #7360, one inch smaller than recommended for $9.30. I then returned home, and I installed it in about a half hour. I have put on two of the one inch larger belts over the years, but they tend to stretch a bit and on a wet night sound like cats making noise. Thus I have fixed it better. They outer belt is for the emissions blower. I then had a fried hamburger with fried onions and condiments on a bun with steamed asperagus and microwave potato and ice tea. With sun spots, you really don't need coffee. Time for fresh air.

Note:<888>04/18/01 Wednesday 7:15 A.M. EDT: I have a 25 foot grey LAN cable that one could plug in to the cable modem exchanging it with the shorter blue LAN cable, so one could stretch it out and use a Laptop computer on the coffee table, dining table, or desk. It is curled up from the cable modem unplugged to the right side of the desk on the left arm of the blue sofa. However, alas I don't have a Laptop computer. CIO

Note:<888>04/18/01 Wednesday 7:00 A.M. EDT: The Cole Porter brass and glass coffee table is about 23 5/8 inch by 37 3/4 inch by half inch thick glass top with 3/4 inch solid brass frame 16 1/2 inch high and centered on the day bed across from the long green couch. The glass top weighs about 50 pounds and the brass table wieghs about 50 pounds, so it weighs 100 pounds or more. The glass is supported on the brass rails lengthwise, but it is not supported on the sides. Thus although very sturdy, one should not try to stand on the table to get in the day bed. Also, since the apartment in a bit cramped, a heavy brass and glass table has very sharp corners, one could easily bruise one's legs on it. CIO

Note:<888>04/18/01 Wednesday 6:30 A.M. EDT: I was up at 4 A.M.. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I took the QE II whiskey jub and Buckingham Palace candy tin and put them to the right of the Zenith shortwave radio left of the bar on top of the Reveree bowl with candy. I put the Revere bowl with smoking accessories on the window ledge right of the air conditioner. I put the Steuben dish with spice drops on the dining table in front of the cordless phone. I put the answering machine and big button corded phone on the left side of the bar table. I put the square Danish table between the desk and the HP lazer printer. I put the large pythos plant from the dining table on it. I put the smaller Philadendron on the oak dining table lazy Susan. I put the eagle ash tray on the Danish table. I put the Charles W. Morgan Mystic Seaport wedgewood ash tray on the Harvard Business School trivet. I put the four English tea mats at the four corners of the Cole Porter brass and glass coffee table along with the existing decorative items and the Americas Cup place mat, so as not to dirty the glass table too much when using it. I put the unique remotes on the upper left side. Basically, if someone wanted to use the day bed, two people could move the brass and glass coffee table over to the side between the long green couch and blue sofa corner. Of course they would also have to remove the pillows and bolsters. However, the long green couch is comfortable enough for a nap. Basically the day bed is more decorative and useful for over night guests with a light breeze from the fan or air conditioner. The one bed apartment is only 450 square feet with small seperate kitchen, bathroom, and narrow corridor to bathroom and bedroom. Thus one has to try to constantly reorganize it better. However, it is extraordinarily quiet here with the sound of the fan or air conditioner and air purifier. Occassionally one can hear flight traffic from the local airport, and in the summer once a week the long maintenance equipment and also the weekly garbage removal. I also have 15 stereo and 7 computer speakers and 3 headphones sets that one could use to tune out bothersome sound with. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>04/17/01 Tuesday 6:15 P.M. EDT: I went back out, and I stopped by the library. I read the Wall Street Journal and the Greenwich Times. I checked out a book and a video. I stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought B&B Spice Drops $1.99, two "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" .99 Heinz 30 oz. Ketchup $1.69, S&S 10 Quart Dry Milk $5.39, 2 pounds onion $1.49, Large Brown Eggs $1.89, half gallon Tropicana Premium calcium $1.99 for $16.54 total. I then returned home. I put some spice drops out. I had two hot dogs with condiments and buns and ice tea. I chatted with my Monday appointment, and I remade it for Friday. I went back out. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while. Lots of eagles around. I observed the waterfront a while. I viewed the Hospital Thrift shop some more. I returned home, and one of my neighbors could use the old coffee table, so I gave it to that person. I chatted with some other neighbors. Well time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/17/01 Tuesday 10:35 A.M. EDT: I stoppped by the Hospital Thrift Shop and got the working insert for my Marine Corps Zippo lighter. I stopped by the Putnam Trust ATM machine inside since it gives 20s when outside is 50s. I went back to the Hospital Thrift shop, and I bought a heavy brass and glass Cole Porter coffee table for $25 and yellow pillow for $1.50. I put the coffee table carefully in the car. I brought it home. I moved the long green couch back a foot to fit in the new brass and glass coffee. I have about a foot space between it and the green couch and a foot space between the dining table and the Queen Anne chair. I let the building custodian have the old wood coffee table for any of the tenants. I put the yellow pillow on the yellow computer chair throw. I filled the Marine Corps Zippo and added flints and put it with the GCC zippo in the Nantucket ash tray. The glass table makes the small sitting area look more spacious. Well time for more fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>04/17/01 Tuesday 7:00 A.M. EDT: I had a fried hamburger on a bun with fried onion slices and condiments, microwave potato, steamed asperagus, ice tea, and cappacinno. I will now clean up and go out in a little while for fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>04/17/01 Tuesday 5:30 A.M. EDT: I skimmed through the last half dozen issues of the Greenwich Post. CIO

Note:<888>04/17/01 Tuesday 2:45 A.M. EDT: I finished and put away my laundry. CIO

Note:<888>04/17/01 Tuesday 2:05 A.M. EDT: I was up at midnight. I had breakfast of Quaker Honey Oats, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I changed the sheets on my bed. I am half way through the dry cycle on my laundry. CIO

Note:<888>04/16/01 Monday 4:05 P.M. EDT: I went out. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by Zyn's Stationary and bought a Ronson five flint pack for .95 . I stopped by the waterfront before and after. I returned home. I tried drilling out the Zippo insert, but it would not come out. I put the good insert in the Greenwich Country Club light along with a new flint and a spare flint underneath the cotton tab and put it in the Nantucket ash tray. I will stopped by the Thrift Shop tomorrow and get one of the other inserts from one of the other lighters. I read in the Court Circular today is the Queen of Denmark's 61st birthday. CIO

Note:<888>04/16/01 Monday 12:05 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and I bought a U.S. Marine Corp Zippo lighter for $2.50. I stopped by Exxon and bought $16 of premium at $1.969 a gallon. I checked my tires at 29 PSI. I stopped by the waterfront. I stopped by Arnold Bakers factory outlet and bought 3 loaves of Arnold 12 grain bread and a 8 pack of hotdog buns for $3.54 total. I then stopped by Smokes for Less, and I bought a carton of Senacas 100 Lights for $19. I then returned home. The U.S. Marine Corp Zippo light flint tube was blocked, so I replaced it with a similar insert from another lighter. I then put it in the Nantucket ash tray. I put the Greenwich Country Club Zippo lighter with the non working insert in my keepsake box. I will now have a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments and ice tea. There were no seagulls on the waterfront, so it might rain. CIO

Note:<888>04/16/01 Monday 8:00 A.M. EDT: I had the last of the eye round roast with mushroom gravy, microwave potato, steamed asperagus, ice tea, and cappucinno. I was thinking about this news story Reuters Chinese Gold Hidden by Japanese found in Thailand . Possibly the gold hidden in large caves in Thailand might present a problem for the explorers since any large caves full of bats might risk exposure to the explorers from rabies since bats frequently carry rabies. Just like being out at night a lot here locally, one is exposed to bats that might have rabies. Well I have to shower and clean up and start my day. CIO

Note:<888>04/16/01 Monday 6:10 A.M. EDT: I went to bed after the last message yesterday. I was up at 8:30 P.M., and I chatted with relatives and a friend. I had breakfast of three medium eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I have been thinking possibly sun spots might still be going on which might tend to make people hyper globally.
