Note: <888> 05/31/02
Friday 11:55 P.M.: I finished the laundry. I had the rest of the
Chinese mixture on white rice with ice tea and a cappuccino. I
cleaned up. I went out, and I walked the entire length of
Greenwich Avenue. I returned home. I will now send out my weekly
note. CIO

Friday 8:00 P.M.: About 3 A.M. this past morning, I had a roast
beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll with Hellmann’s mayonnaise,
horse radish, salt, and pepper along with ice tea. I went to bed
about 4 A.M. this past morning. I think I was up about 3 P.M.. I
had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins,
and supplements. I relaxed a bit. About 6 P.M. NOAA weather radio
started going off with warnings for this area. I started my
laundry, and I am on the dry cycle with about 45 minutes to go. I
checked the outside weather conditions, and it sounds like the
weather front might be arriving shortly. I checked the
Volvo mechanics manual I have, and it said that if the noise I am
getting from the underneath of the car is a transmission noise,
that the car might need to have 90 weight oil added which is what
it uses for the manual transmission gear box. I will have
it checked on Tuesday at Exxon station next to the library. CIO

Friday 1:35 A.M.: I went through www.geocities.com/mikelscott/scotwork.htm . I still have
some individual sending me daily an email virus that Norton Anti
Virus 2002 catches, and its origins daily or a different spammed
email address each day. I suppose somebody with my email address
might have an email worm on their machine. Well, I guess I will
shut down for the night and watch some television. I checked out www.lanzarote.com . Apparently
they now get 1.7 million visitors a year. CIO
Note: <888> 05/31/02
Friday 12:05 A.M.: I put the ice tea in the refrigerator. I went
out, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the
waterfront. I stopped by the ATM machine at Putnam Trust Bank of
New York on Mason Street. I then drove part way down the Avenue,
and I tried driving up the steep hill at Indian Field Road, and
the car went up it fine in second gear. However, I still have the
rattling noise at lower idle which might be coming from the gear
box or clutch. Another remote possibility might be that one of
the cylinders is not firing properly, but it sounds like it is
running smoothly. I will have Exxon next to the Greenwich Library
check on it next week, if I get on an earlier schedule. I then
went by the Food Emporium, and I bought four Tropicana half
gallons of orange juice with calcium for $2.50 each, a 38 ounce
box of Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers for $5.29, AC five pound
bag of sugar for $2.49 a boneless chicken breasts at $1.99 a
pound for $4.30. However, the total came out to $20.77 since the
cash register computer only took of the discount on two orange
juices instead of four, so the cashier voided one of the orange
juices to lower the price. I then returned home. I guess I will
do some regular computer work. CIO

Thursday 10:00 P.M.: I went out about 1:30 P.M.. I stopped by the
Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and I bought a eight ounce bottle
of English Leather men’s cologne for $5. I then went by
Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I next drove down
by the waterfront. I then made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then went
by Gateway automotive, and I bought 3 feet of 5/16” hose for
$2 and four hose clamps for $3.40 for $5.40 total. I then drove
down to by the waterfront, and I sat out for a while. I then
drove to another location on the waterfront. I then drove
downtown. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and they
gave me a ¼” by 1” bolt, ¼” by 1.25” bolt,
two ¼” inch nuts, and two ¼ inch lock washers which
normally would have been .35. I told them that Gateway Automotive
sells Nu Finish car wax for $9.99. I then walked up to CVS, and I
bought a Glade Plugin Scented Oil refill Mystical Garden scent
for $2.99 and a green apple car air freshener for $1.19 plus .25
tax for $4.43. I chatted with a local. I complete my walk of the
entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I put the car air
freshener in the car. I bought a medium size pineapple from
the Greenwich Avenue vegetable market for $2. I then returned a
DVD disk to the Greenwich Library. I the went by Val’s
liquor, and I bought a four ounce bottle of Angostura bitters for
$4. I then returned home. I put the new glade plugin in the
kitchen to scent the apartment. I then put part of the 5/16 inch
hose with two clamps from the Volvo fuel injection chamber to the
PCV valve, and I put another part of the hose with two clamps
from the radiator to the radiator overflow tank. I also cleaned
the PCV valve, and I put a larger 2 inch clamp around the PCV
valve hose that connects to the valve cover. The car is a
lot peppier and runs smoother with the tighter vacuum system, but
there is still a slight rattle at low idle. I do not think it is
the exhaust system, but I have the bolts to try to secure the
manifold pipe to the body bracket when the car is cold. I checked
the Volvo by wedging a screw driver in the space between the
manifold pipe and body bracket, and the car still had the rattle.
Two days ago, I checked the clutch clearance, and it is fine.
The car clutch and gear box work fine when driving and do not
make any noise. I am not sure what is causing the rattling sound.
I will have to wait until I am on an earlier schedule to have
Greenwich Exxon check it out. I have not had Greenwich Exxon
check the rear end and gear box fluid in eight years, but I
thought the Oil Star lube garage checked those fluids whenever I
have the oil changed. Since the car seems to be
running fine, I do not intend to make any major expenses on a 26
year old Volvo 244 DL. I then went upstairs, and I had a chilled
Barq’s root beer in a frosted mug. I then made up another
batch of rice, and I reheated some of my Chinese beef vegetable
mixture, and I put it on top of the rice. I had this for dinner
with ice tea and a cappuccino. I am simmering a 3 quart pot of
concentrated tea to make 12 quarts ice tea www.geocities.com/mikelscott/icetea.htm right now.
I will now peel and chop up the pineapple and season it with
orange juice and angostura bitters. CIO

Thursday 1:00 P.M.: I watched television and slept last night. I
was up at noon today. I had breakfast of three medium boiled
eggs, oatmeal toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and
supplements. I had to throw out one of the cooked eggs since it
was no good. I have a 3 P.M. appointment today. CIO
Note: <888> 05/29/02
Wednesday 10:25 P.M.: I rested until 6 P.M.. I had ten Carr’s
crackers with mozzarella cheese and ice tea. I then rested until 9:30
P.M.. I had some of the Chinese mixture from last night with rice
and ice tea. CIO
Note: <888> 05/29/02
Wednesday 4:10 P.M.: I was up at noon today. had breakfast
of oatmeal, oatmeal bread toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins,
and supplements. I went out, and I checked my Volvo’s
exhaust system, and the slight rattle I hear when I start up the
car does not seem to be coming from the exhaust system. I think
the problem might be that since I have it set on a lower idle,
the car runs a little rougher when starting until it warms up.
However, on a lower idle, one does not have to worry about it
getting too hot in traffic in the summer. I touched up a few
spots with touch paint. I came back inside, and I relaxed a bit.
I had a relative call. I tried out Net2Phone, and it works quite
well, and I chatted with a few people. I will now do some regular
computer work instead of going out in the heat of the day. CIO
Note: <888> 05/29/02
Wednesday 2:40 A.M.: I sifted through my email. I will now shut
down and relax before going to bed. CIO
Note: <888> 05/29/02
Wednesday 12:55 A.M.: I went out, and I walked the entire length
of Greenwich Avenue. I sat out at various locations for a while.
I then drove down by the waterfront. I then drove over to Grass
Island, and I sat out by the waterfront for a half hour with the
Coleman electronic mosquito repeller clipped to my shirt collar.
There tend to be a lot of bugs at Grass Island in the evening.
The Coleman electronic mosquito repeller was effective, and no
mosquitoes or gnats bit me, although I could see some close by.
Since the package comes with three, the idea way to wear them
might be one clipped to the collar and one clipped to either
pocket of ones pants. I then went back home. I readjusted my
Volvo idle downward, so the car does not overheat on the warmer
days. I notice from inside the hood when one looks down on the
manifold pipe that connects to the exhaust system, one can easily
see the clamp it is suppose to connect to with what looks like it
would take any nut and bolt and possibly a lock washer and washer.
I will have to check it out when it is cold. I checked my oil too.
I then went by the ATM machine at Putnam Trust Bank of New York
on Mason Street. I then went to the Greenwich Library, and I
checked out a DVD video disk. I also read the Wall Street Journal
and P.C. Magazine. I then went by Stop and Shop, and I bought a
12 pack of Northern quilted tissue for $3, 10 pack of S&S dry
milk for $5.49, a Marie Callender boneless chicken breast dinner
for $1.99, a four ounce container of sun dried tomatoes .99, a
Stouffer’s 21 ounce lasagna $2.87, two four ounce cans of
Sunny Deli portabella mushrooms .75 each, a green pepper at .99 a
pound .41, a Vidalia onion at .79 a pound .58 for $17.01 total. I
then returned home. I relaxed a bit. I chatted with a friend
about 9:30 P.M.. I then started preparing a more elaborate dinner.
I first too my China Village rice cooker. I washed a cup of white
rice in a bowl, and then I strained it with a strainer. I then
put it in the China village rice cooker with a cup and a half of
water and five pads of margarine. I put the steamer insert and
lid on, and I put it in the microwave oven. I set it for 11
minutes, but I did not start it yet. The China village rice
cooker for a cup of white rice takes 11 minutes in microwave and
five minutes standing covered afterwards. I then started
preparing the ingredients for the meal. I took a 10 ounce shell
steak, and I cut off the fat and bone. I cut it into ¼” by
1” by 1” chunks for about a cup of steak chunks which I
put in a small dish. I then peeled and sliced eight cloves of
garlic. I next peeled and diced ¾ of a Vidalia onion or about a
cup. I put this in another small dish. I sliced on an angle half
inch lengths of a half pound of asparagus. I cut off about a cup
and a half of broccoli florets in smaller pieces. I opened and
drained the two four ounce cans of Sunny Deli portabella
mushrooms. I cleaned and diced a green pepper. I diced the four
ounce container of sun dried tomatoes. I cut off the corn off an
ear of corn on the cob. I rinced a half pound package of snow
peas. I put all of these ingredients in separate small dishes for
holding. I then took my 12 inch Griswold cast iron fry pan
with glass lid. I put it on the large electric burner on medium
high. I added six tablespoons of olive oil and four pads of
margarine. Once it was heated, I added the eight sliced cloves of
garlic, the cup of shell steak chunks, and the cup of diced
Vidalia onions. I sautéed these about five minutes adding ground
black pepper and garlic powder. I also started the rice
cooking for 11 minutes in the microwave oven. After sautéing
the beef, garlic, and onions for five minutes, I added the
broccoli florets, diced green pepper, sliced asparagus, and corn.
I stirred and continue cooking on medium high another five
minutes seasoning the mixture with ground black pepper, garlic
powder, celery salt, chicken and meat seasoning, Basil, Oregano,
Italian spices, ginger, nutmeg, Old Bay seasoning, and Chinese
five spice which I mixed into the mixture. I then added a
tablespoon of sesame oil, a tablespoon of Lea and Perrins
Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoons of Modena, Italy balsamic
vinegar, four tablespoons of La Choy low sodium soy sauce, a
teaspoon of Angostura bitters and three quarters of a cup of Rene
Junot French white table wine, and I mixed this all together, and
I continue to cook covered with the glass lid on medium high
stirring occasionally for ten minutes. When the ten minutes
were up, the rice was ready to stand for five minutes. I then
added to the mixture, the diced sun dried tomatoes, the two four
ounce cans of drained Sunny Deli portabella mushroom, and a half
pound package of rinsed snow peas along with another quarter of a
cup of white wine. I continued to steam this mixture over medium
high heat covered for five minutes stirring occasionally. I then
put about half the rice on a plate, and I put the rest of the
rice in a container in the refrigerator. I then put about a cup
and half of the seasoned vegetable beef mixture on top of the
rice, and I put the rest in a container in the refrigerator. I
had it for dinner with ice tea and a cappuccino. I then watched
the BBC evening news. I will now do some regular computer work.

Tuesday 4:45 P.M.: I was up at 10 A.M. this morning. I watched
the morning news. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs,
oatmeal bread toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and
supplements. I fell back to sleep until 2 P.M.. I got up, and I
went out, and I checked my car. I noticed that the rattle the car
is making might have been that it was idling two slowly. I
increased the idle on the car, and I adjust the airflow intake.
The car runs more smoothly with the increased idle, and it does
not seem to rattle. Still, when I have the time, I should go over
to Stamford Volvo, and see if they have the bolt for attaching
the exhaust manifold pipe to the under body of the car. Still, I
am not sure if the threaded opening is there or not, and possibly
when they installed the exhaust manifold pipe last August, they
just cut if off with a torch. Well at the moment the car seems to
be running smoothly. I came back inside, and I picked up my
AT&T bill out of the mail box. They now seem to be charging a
minimum of $7.50 instead of $5.00 plus tax, still I tend to talk
that much. I had another roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser
roll with Hellmann’s mayonnaise, horse radish, Vidalia
onion, salt and pepper. I had it with Lays potato chips and
sliced dill pickles with ice tea and a Brazilian instant coffee.
I just clipped my toe nails and my finger nails, since they were
getting a bit long. The NOAA weather radio just went off
saying there might be heavy showers this evening. I will now
clean up and go out. CIO

Monday 9:10 P.M.: I went downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich
Avenue. I sat out at various locations. I then drove down by the
waterfront. I then went to another location along the waterfront,
and I sat out in my beach chair for about a half hour. The
mosquitoes are beginning to come out again. I then returned home.
I got out my package of three Coleman electronic mosquito
repellers made in China, and I put a battery in the gray one. I
attached it to my key chain. I now have it ready to turn on the
next time I go down by the waterfront. I then watched a
television program on the History Channel about the World Trade Center
done the January before 911. A friend called and we chatted. I
will now do a bit of regular computer work. I noticed last night
the large files at the GeoCities web site do not come up.
Hopefully, they will have it fixed after the holiday weekend. CIO

Monday 5:45 P.M.: I heard the honor guard salute outside this
morning about 7 A.M.. I was up about noon. The nicotine
patch came off during the night, so I put another one on, since I
could not fine it in the bedding right away. I had breakfast of
oatmeal, oatmeal bread toast, orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and
supplements. I went out, and I washed the car with the hose I
have in the trunk and a bucket of water with dishwashing
detergent in it. I cleaned the white walls with an S.O.S.
pad. I dried the car. I then waxed the 1976 Volvo 244 DL with Nu
Finish once a year car polish. I cleaned the windows inside and
out with Windex. I cleaned the inside vinyl with Turtle Wax
Extreme 2001 Protectant. I wiped the door openings with a damp
cloth. I was able to get the passenger side rear door to open and
close properly. I put all five beach chairs on that side of the
car. I vacuumed the interior of the car. Thus the car looks
a lot better with its annual spring cleaning done. This took
about four hours. I was able to vacuum using three extension
cords out the front of the building. I had three diet Cokes while
doing all of this. I came inside, and I had a roast beef sandwich
on a Kaiser roll with Hellmann’s mayonnaise, horse radish,
slices of Vidalia onion, and salt and pepper, along with a dill
pickle slice and potato chips, ice tea, and a Brazilian instant
coffee. I cleaned up, and I took off the nicotine patch while
showering. I watched some of the Memorial Day events on
television. I will now go out for some fresh air. CIO

Monday 12:35 A.M.: I finished watching the DVD video. I watched a
bit of television. I will now go to bed. CIO
Note: <888> 05/26/02
Sunday 9:15 P.M.: I watched a bit of television. I took the new
lamp shades from the bedroom night stand lamps, and I put them on
the pineapple lamps on the brass coffee table on top of the
bedroom desk. I took the shades from the pineapple lamps, and I
put them on the bedroom night stand lamps. They are thus fit
better relative to the size of the lamps. I tested Scott’s
Random Notes on the backup computer, and they do not come up from
the GeoCities web site on the backup computer either. Thus there
must be something wrong with the GeoCities web site, or Optimum
has blocked my notes. Well, I will now watch a DVD video disk.

Sunday 7:35 P.M.: After dinner, I closed the window and finished
airing out the apartment. CIO
Note: <888> 05/26/02
Sunday 6:40 P.M.: I opened all my closets to air out with the
window opened before I went out. I went out, and I walked the
entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by CVS, and I bought
two half price Sure Advantage regular deodorants for $2 each, and
Gillette shaving gel sensitive skin for $1.99 plus .36 tax for $6.35
total. I then went by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought
Nu Finish Once a Year Car Polish for $6.99 plus .42 tax for $6.41
total. They told me they were going to raise it to $9.99. I
also stopped by Pier One and looked at all the scented candles. I
then drove down by the waterfront. I then went by the ATM machine
at Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went by
Radio Shack in Cos Cob, and I bought a one foot 75 Ohm video
cable with gold plated connectors $2.99 plus .18 tax for $3.17. I
then went to the Cos Cob Farmer Market next door, and I bought
asparagus at $1.99 a pound and a package of snow peas for $3.28
total. I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought two Vidalia
onions at .79 a pound for $1.12, a package of Bernadinos’
six water Kaiser rolls $1.99, S&S rare roast beef at $5.99 a
pound for $7.07, two Marie Calendar meals at $1.99 each, one beef
tips and one meat loaf for $14.16 total. I then returned home.
The apartment smelled a lot fresher with the window open and the
fan blowing in fresh air. I sprayed Bissell Air Freshener
deodorizer in the closets and around the room. I took off the
face plate off the wall cable plate and tightened the cable
connector. I put on the new one foot cable I bought at Radio
Shack connecting to the four splitter. Now Channel 2 seems to
come in clear. I will now take a Kaiser roll and split it, and
put mayonnaise on both sides. I will then put slices of rare
roast beef on it, and I will put horse radish on the roast beef,
and then I will put a few slices of Vidalia onion on it, and I
will season it with salt and pepper, and I will have the roast
beef sandwich with a dill pickle slice and potato chips along
with ice tea and a cappuccino. CIO

Sunday 2:45 P.M.: I rested until 2 P.M.. I chatted with a
relative. I took off the old shades of the bedroom lamps, and I
put the new shades on. I will throw out the old shades. I opened
the left living room window. I disconnected the air conditioner,
and I plugged in the fan and turned it on medium. I am now airing
out the apartment. I will take a shower and put on the nicotine
patch. Then I will go out for some fresh air. CIO

Sunday 12:30 P.M.: I was up at 11 A.M. this morning. I had
breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, oatmeal bread toast,
orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and supplements. I watched some
of the morning news. Last night when I was out for a walk,
I bought from Zyn stationary a #29 Cold Cash Doubler scratch card
for $1, but I did not win anything. I will start using the
nicotine patch today. CIO

Sunday 12:25 A.M.: I went out, and I stopped by the Exxon station
next to the Greenwich Library. I bought $10.50 of premium
gasoline at $1.779 a gallon. I then dropped off a DVD video
disk at the video drop at the Greenwich Library. I then went
downtown. I first walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue,
and I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue again. I sat out at
various locations. I noticed that the mobile art exhibit at the
senior and arts center has flood lights shining on it. However,
the flood lights also shine out into Greenwich Avenue which
interferes with the night time vision of divers in that location.
When I returned home, I called the Public Safety department, and
I gave them my viewpoint. I also noticed that the mobiles have
wires attaching them to the ground to keep them from swinging
which people in that location can not see at night. When I
was first out, I saw the full moon rising and at the same time I
saw a shooting star. The wind was out of the southwest, so
it was a dry night and easy on my arthritis. I drove down by the
waterfront afterwards. I next went to the Stop and Shop, and I
bought a bottle of Lysol Island Breeze cleaner for $2.99, a
Tombstone Pepperoni pizza for $2.99, a dozen large eggs $1.69,
three S&S premium margarine $2 all, a bulb of garlic .35, buy
one get one free of B&G Kosher dill spears $2.69 both, for $12.89
total. I then returned home about 11 P.M., and I relaxed a bit.
I will now watch some television before going to bed. I will
probably try to quit smoking when I wake up today using the
nicotine patches. CIO

PBS channel 21 before going to bed at 11 P.M.. I was up at 8 A.M..
I had breakfast of oatmeal, orange juice, toast, coffee,
vitamins, and supplements. I picked up a loaf of bread from the
bread table. I have been taking Benedryl recently for allergies
which make me sleepy when I wake up. I fell back asleep until 1:30
P.M.. I think the allergy season now might be less severe, so I
will quit taking Benedryl. I had a telephone call from a relative.
I checked the mail. I will now have a Boston Market beef
pot roast dinner with ice tea and a Brazilian instant coffee. I
will then start my house cleaning. CIO

Friday 8:20 P.M.: It appears that the GeoCities upload is not
working at the moment, so I can not update my “Scott’s
Random Notes” . I did notice in the Greenwich Times today
that water restrictions have been lifted locally. Thus I can hose
and bucket wash and wax my car some time in the future when I
have time, and when I get around to buying some car wax. I will
now send out my weekly notes. I will then watch a DVD video disk.
I will try to go to bed around midnight. I will do house cleaning
in the morning. I have a friend coming to visit at 1:30 P.M.
tomorrow. CIO

Friday 6:10 P.M.: I was up at 8 A.M. this morning. I watched the
morning news and relaxed. About 10 A.M., I had breakfast of three
medium boiled eggs, oatmeal toast, orange juice, coffee, and
vitamins. I then cleaned up, and I went out. I decided not to try
the nicotine patches today, since it would be a busier day. I
drove over to “Smokes for Less” in Byram, and I bought
three patches of Seneca Ultra Lights 100s for $8.25 for three
packages. I then on the way to town gave a neighbor a ride from
the bus stop on the Post Road to town. I then went by Putnam
Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then stopped by Midas,
but they only had two people on today, so they could not check
out the rattle on my Volvo. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital
Thrift shop and lamps were $2 and lamp shades were .50. I bought
a pair of lampshades with a small blue stripe for .50 each $1
total. I then drove down by the waterfront and I chatted with
some waterfront locals. I then drove to another part of the
waterfront, and I chatted with a local while I searched my car
for about a half hour looking for a DVD video disk that I thought
I had brought with me, but later turned out to back at home. I
chatted with some other locals. I could not get the passenger
side rear door to open from the outside, so I moved the child
lock latch on the door jam, and now it will not open from the
outside or the inside, which I suppose is just as well since it
occasionally would come open when closed. I then drove back to
the other part of the waterfront. I then went by the ELDC thrift
shop. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I checked out two
DVD video disks. I then returned home. I had a frosted diet Coke
in a frosted mug. Then for a meal, I had two hotdogs with buns
and ketchup and mustard and potato chips and two small dill
pickles and ice tea and a cappuccino. I put the new lamp shades
on top of the existing lamp shades on the bedroom nightstand
tables on either side of the bed. CIO

Thursday 10:20 P.M.: I read the smoking patch information. I
started to watch the TEAC DVD system, and once again it would not

Thursday 8:55 P.M.: I was up at 6 A.M. this morning. I watched
some morning news. I had breakfast of oatmeal, oatmeal toast,
orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and supplements. I then fell back
to sleep until 11 A.M.. I checked the mail. I had lunch of a
Stouffer’s hearty turkey dinner with ice tea and Brazilian
instant coffee. I then went out, and I returned a book to the Greenwich
Library. I read the local paper and a Time Magazine special issue
about “911”. I then made my 3 P.M. appointment. I
read another Time Magazine while waiting. I then stopped by
Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went to the
Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. I next went downtown. I walked
the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various
locations. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I
viewed their 70% off shelf in the front of the store. I went by
CVS, and I bought a box of the CVS Nicotine Transdermal System of
14 patches Step One 21 mg. stop smoking aid with behavior support
program for $38.99. The wind was out of the southwest
today, so it was dry which is good for arthritis. After my
walk, I drove by the waterfront. I have noticed in the last
couple of days that my 1976 Volvo 244 DL has a slight exhaust
rattling. I looked underneath the car, and the system is secure,
but there is a bolt missing from the exhaust manifold pipe that
is suppose to connect it to the under body of car. I will
have it checked soon. It does not appear to be anything major,
and hopefully this will stop the slight rattling. After the
waterfront, I went by Stop and Shop, and I bought buy one get one
free of large bags of Lays Barbeque potato chips for $2.99 both.
I then went by the Food Emporium, and I bought two shell steaks
at $3.99 a pound for $5.91 and buy one get one free of Edy’s
sorbet pints, one raspberry and the other mandarin orange. I then
returned home. I had a chilled diet Coke in a frosted mug. I
relaxed a bit. I then had a broiled shell steak with Lea and
Perrins Worcestershire sauce, steamed corn on the cob, steamed
broccoli florets, ice tea, and a cappuccino. I will try the stop
smoking patches starting tomorrow morning after I shower. I

bought for $4 an extra large white Greenwich Ducks Unlimited 50th
anniversary shirt for $4. I then went by the Mews Thrift Shop.
For $10 I got 10 extra large polo and crews and leisure
shirts of various colors about half from the GAP including an
Izod, an extra large blue boxer Speedo swim suit, a Ralph Lauren
polo sweat shirt, and a pair of waist 40 inches denim shorts. I
thanked them for the bargains. I then drove down by the
waterfront. I then drove over to the Old Greenwich Rummage Room
Thrift shop, and I bought a waist 40 inch pair of long white
Bermuda style shorts for $4. While looking at their pants, I
found $8 cash in a pair of pants pockets that I gave to the staff.
I then drove around Tod’s Point, and I sat out at the
southeast beach area for about 45 minutes. I found a
quarter. I then went by Staples in Old Greenwich. They have 80
gigabyte Maxtor 5400 rpm hard drives for $120 plus a $40 mailin
rebate for $80 which is very reasonable. They also have a 2.4
gigahertz AT&T cordless phone for $50 with a $10 AT&T

table for $1.50 plus .09 tax for $1.59. I then went back
downtown, and I drove around the waterfront. I then stopped by
the Greenwich Library, and I returned a DVD video disk, and I
read the local paper. I then returned home. I am on the dry cycle

Tuesday 1:50 P.M.: I was up at 5 A.M., and I watched a bit of the
morning news. I had breakfast of oatmeal, oatmeal bread toast,
orange juice, coffee, vitamins and supplements. I then chatted
with a friend. I have been thinking about this Marine coral
calcium from Japan that I am taking. Perhaps if the Florida Keys
is made out of the same substance they could grind up the Florida
Keys and sell it for 50 cents a pill. Apparently this
substance was very popular with the first pharmaceutical shops in
Barcelona, Spain 300 years ago, and perhaps this is what leads to
the legends of Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth. I have a
feeling it also might be the ingredients in Gator Aid, a well
known sports drink from Florida. Whatever the case, it might
explain why in theory some of the old alligators and crocodiles
live to be 200 years old in Florida hanging around the coral
deposits along the shores of Florida. Moreover from what I know
and from what I saw on Dr. Robert Barefoot’s infomercial,
there might be some truth to the validity it helps the body
rejuvenate itself, and it is good for warding off diseases like
Parkinson’s syndrome, cancer, and tired blood. Still, it is
too early to tell whether it is doing any good for me or not.
However, for all I know the Coral Calcium from Japan might be
different from other coral deposits around the world. It is
suppose to have a lot of electrolytes and enzymes that are
suppose to be good for the body. Still locally it is cold and
damp which is not good for my arthritis. Also despite taking the
benedryl my allergies seem to be activated in this most severe
allergy season. Well, when I got up at noon, I checked the mail.
I then had a Marie Callender’s breaded fish fillet with
macaroni and cheese meal along with ice tea and a Brazilian
instant coffee. The Greenwich Times on Sunday said there are 1750
people from South America living in Greenwich, Connecticut and a
lot more in the neighboring towns of Port Chester, New York; Danbury,
Connecticut; and Stamford, Connecticut. Alas I do not speak
Spanish or Portuguese, so I do not network with that community.
Well, I guess I will clean up and go out for some routine
activity. CIO

Monday 11:10 P.M.: I finished watching the television movie. I
had some ice tea. Well, there is not much going on, since
it is cooler out, and the people with the so called money to
spend in this area prefer warm weather, so until it gets warmer,
the general local economy will remain in recession. Of
course maybe some Canadian found a gold mine, and maybe that so
called Canadian will spend some money in this area, while it is
still cooler. Of course for all I know the moon is made of Swiss
cheese. Thus for all I know with the threats of terrorism in this
area, the people whom normally spend money in this area have fled
the area to spend their ill begotton gains in other deluxe areas
that are less threatened. Well, the real story is not much ever
happens here, so people whom like to read books enjoy reading
books here while nothing is happening. Cheerio. Also on Dr.
Robert Barefoot’s infomercial about Coral Calcium, they said
they are also giving it to horses, which might explain why
certain horses are winning unexpectedly. CIO

relaxed and listen to some of the chit chat from BBC radio 5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/ . They mentioned
that Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip, and Prince Charles
visited the Chelsea Flower Show and were describing the garden of
holistic medicine plants that Prince Charles had patronized.

pound for $1.20, a Tony’s Pepperoni pizza for $2.50, and
four Tropicana orange juice half gallons with calcium for $2 each

stereo headphone Y adaptors to connect a set of speakers and the
ear plug to the microphone headset on the backup computer. I
disconnected the stereo headphones on the primary computer, and I
plugged them into the cable on the lower left side of the desk by
the computer that is connected to the stereo amplifier. I then
took off the cable they were connected to the primary computer,
and I put it in the lower right desk drawer. I connected the new
Panasonic stereo headphones to the primary computer. I will save
the second gold Y-adaptor for future use, and I put it in the

Monday 8:55 A.M.: The groin hernia was probably aggravated over
the years when I did things like build the garage apartment in
Plandome Manor, Long Island in 1982 and when I worked in the
Lanqueduc restaurant in Nantucket and other restaurants from 1978
to 1983 lifting many heavy items like hundred pound bags of
onions and garbage on a regular basis along with other
construction work not to mention all the times I have moved
furniture items. Thus since I am getting older and I have put on
weight my abdomen wall is probably weaker allowing part of my
intestinal region to slip down into the groin area. CIO
Note: <888> 05/13/02
Monday 8:45 A.M.: I have actually had the groin hernia since
about February 1979 when there was an ice storm in New Canaan, Connecticut.
I showed up at the apartment there, and a pipe had frozen in the
basement, and I moved a trunk of mine with about 200 pounds of
books to keep them from getting wet before fixing the frozen pipe.
However, recently since I put on the weight the groin hernia
seems to have gotten worse. When I lie down, it goes away,
but when I stand up it falls back down into the groin area. CIO
Note: <888> 05/13/02
Monday 8:25 A.M.: I researched “groin hernia” at www.google.com , and I came up
with http://www.medbroadcast.com/health_topics/health_conditions/hernia/index.shtml . I have a bad
groin hernia. I have not lifted that much heavy stuff recently
besides the 85 pound HP laser printer and the Orion 25 inch
television which weighed about 85 pound too. I use to move my
furniture more frequently, but I have not done so in six month.
From reading the hernia site information, it says a groin hernia
can be caused by being overweight. I am presently 217 pounds
which I would say is 30 to 50 pound overweight for my six foot
height and small bone frame. I have thought about having the
hernia operated on, but I thought it might first be better to
lose some weight which I have not succeeded in doing since I have
not been walking as much recently in the colder weather damp
weather. Well, I guess it is hard to stop the aging process. I
just had a Boston Market chicken teriyaki with rice dinner with
ice tea. I guess I will relax a bit now. CIO

with buns and ketchup and mustard, potato chips, two small dill
pickles, ice tea, and a Brazilian instant coffee. I threw out the
garbage a little while ago. My Volvo runs fine, but for the last
three to five years, I have had one or two ripped rubber boots on
the front steering arms which I have been told I should have
replaced. Maybe I will look into it this week. I have a 4:30

corrosion. I checked the oil. I will put the Chevron Techron fuel

Staples is reorganizing their store putting the aisles north to
south instead of east of west. It looks like a lot of work. I
then drove downtown, and I walked upper Greenwich Avenue, and I
sat out at a couple of locations. I stopped by CVS, and I bought
two 12 packs of Benedryl for $3.77 each package and two white
Djeep lighters for $1.89 plus .23 tax for $11.55 total. I
noticed I can get boxes of 14 nicotine patches for $40 which
means they would cost about $80 a month and would be about $50 a
month cheaper than smoking. I am considering trying them again.
I returned home. I put the Net2Phone YAP headset on the primary
computer. It works fine. I hung it on the right side of the
speaker to the right of the computer chair. I took the old Andrea
Electronic microphone, and I put it on the backup computer. The
Net2Phone YAP headset came with a $10 YAP card which I have not
installed yet. I chatted with a relative and a friend. I will now

Old Fashioned Quaker oatmeal for $3.99 and buy one get one free
of Kahn’s beef franks for $3.69 both for $7.68 total. I
returned home. I had a frosted diet Coke in a frosted mug. My 52nd
birthday is tomorrow May 9, and a relative sent me a package. It
contained an Olympus SuperZoom 3000 35mm camera with instructions
and a roll of Kodak ASA 200 24 exposure film and a Radio Shack
traveler’s alarm clock. The camera was used, and I had
to put a piece of black electrical tape on the back where a small
part was missing. I installed the film, and the batteries are in
good condition. I read the instructions to figure out the
features on it. I now can take some pictures in my spare time
providing I can afford the processing. However, people tend to be
very camera shy in Greenwich, so one has to be careful taking
pictures. Still it is a most excellent camera, and I will
enjoy using it in the future. Last summer while up in Maine, my
old Canon camera malfunctioned on the scenic shots. I had dinner
of three ½ inch thick slices of cold eye round beef with horse
radish and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, steamed white
