Friday, 06/29/06, 8:25 P.M.: After the last message, I went out in the front yard. The old wooden flag pole had fallen down this winter, so I cut the bottom rotten two feet off of it and the top rotten foot off of it, so it is still about 20 feet tall. I then went out with my relative, and we stopped by Chick's Lobster house to pick up a cane my relative had forgotten. We then went the Kennebunkport hardware store, and I bought three 3/8th inch diameter by 3 inch screws for .41 each, three sheet metal washers about 1.75 inches in diameter for .28 each with inside hole of 3/8th inch, and a larger 2.25 inch diameter sheet metal washer for .51 for about $3 all together. We then went to Kennebunk, and my relative went to Best Nails and for a pedicure and manicure. I walked over to Hanson's market, and I bought a few things. We then stopped by Irving gasoline, and we filled up my relative's car. I stopped by Ron's Antique Cars just east of the new Super Stop and Shop, and his telephone number is 1-207-967-4703. He still has the 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with 70,000 original miles in very good condition with like new Michelin tires for $4,500. He has turned down $4,200. It was his own car, and there is nothing wrong with it. He just got a new car. He says it gets 26 miles per gallon the highway. Thus it is in perfect running condition. It is in the dark purple color with wood grain paneling on the side. We then returned back to my relative's house. I cut off a little bit more off the bottom of the flag pole. I use one 3 inch screw and the larger and the other sheet metal washer to attach the rope pulley to the top of the flag pole. It split a little bit tightening it, but it is secure. One could put a hose clamp on it in the future to secure the split a bit better. I then installed the flag pole with the old hole through it at the very bottom position of the two metal side posts with holes secured in cement. I put through the large bolt and secured it with a nut with the flag pole on its side. I then raised the flag pole, and I tightened the bottom nut more so, the flag pole was secure. I then used the other two three inch screws with washers to attach the higher part of the flag pole in the upper steel brace holes screwing the three inch screws about half way into the flag pole. It is totally secure, and should last some time as it is. I then strung up a cloth U.S.A. flag that flies on it instead of using the smaller nylon U.S.A. flag. Thus the stars and stripes are flying here again. We had dinner of sauteed vegetables with fresh shrimp on seasoned rice, and I ate my dinner with a mixture of orange juice and cold filtered water. I watered a few plants. I will now shut down the IBM Netvista computer, and I will pack my luggage. I will stay up until 10 P.M. to 11 P.M. watching television and chatting with my relative. When I wake up tomorrow, I will eat my same old breakfast, and I will pack my relative's Audi, and I will drive back down to Greenwich, Connecticut. My relative will pick up the Audi on July 3, 2007 and return back up to Kennebunkport. CIO

Of course with the Fourth of July weekend coming up, more than likely there will be other weekend visitors in the area. Also summer renters tend to occupy their houses on the first of each month in the summer, and this Sunday is July 1, and of course Canada Day is July 2, so more than likely the local activity will pick up as people get off work today.

I moved the mint plant further to the side in the herb planter. A relative refinished the legs on the other Queen Ann chair, so now both are done, and ready to be reupholstered. The relative used steel wool pads and Fantastic to clean off the old finish, and then wipe them clean with paint thinner, and then rubbed them with tongue oil. After they dry, he uses paste wax to shine the legs up a bit. His hands are covered with the old red stain, so he has to figure out a way to clean his hands. The same relative disconnected the old GE dryer hookups and vent hose. There was an electrocuted chipmunk on the old drier electrical connection. The same relative spread marble chips on the south side of the house to prevent rain splash up on the side of the house.

Thursday, 06/21/06, 6:25 P.M.: I ate lunch of three half sandwiches with turkey, ham, cheese, and mayo along with potato chips and cold filtered water. The rug cleaner was here, and he is going to come back tomorrow with extra help, since most of the furniture will have to be moved to clean the rugs. They also will have to be dried. The Sears clothes dries is also coming tomorrow. After lunch, I went out for a walk down to the breakwater. I met up with a relative and road back with the relative. We fixed the air diverters on his Volvo luggage rack. I took a nap. One of my relatives refurbished the legs on a Queen Ann chair. I chatted with a relative out west while down on the breakwater with my AT&T wireless, and it works just fine, but it is hard to see LCD screen in the bright sun. Earlier I also chatted with a friend who needs to stay with another friend to attend a horse show in Fairfield, Connecticut along with his equestrian daughter. I think we are going to dinner at the Ramp at Cape Porpoise, so I have to change. I also installed the new automatic night lights in the downstairs guest bathroom and bunk room bathroom. CIO

Thursday, 06/21/06, 12:25 P.M.: So I can play MP3 songs with a USB drive or SD card or an Ipod in my Buick Wagon, I ordered this Amazon.com: Virtual Reality Sound Labs MP3/WMA FM Modulator with SD Card, USB Port, and Audio Input: Automotive for $44.99 with free shipping.

Thursday, 06/21/06, 11:35 A.M.: Free shipping on $75 for two days Sierra Trading Post DealFlyer . You could use their 60% off bargain barn link to look for winter clothes.

I also put mulch around the lilacs at the south end of the house and the growing honey suckle type plants at the front walkway with the trellis. Yesterday with the help of another relative, I installed the air conditioner in the den and another one in the master bedroom. I showered, and I cleaned up. I will now go through my email. We need to get a night light for the downstairs bunk room bathroom, since at night it is hard to see down there. The Sharp cordless telephone in the bunk room needs a new rechargeable battery, so I took the extra telephone with a clock radio out of the downstairs guest bedroom, and I installed it in the bunk room. The existing GE drier is connected directly with a electrical cable, and their is no electrical wall socket, so with the new Sear's drier, hopefully we will be able to connect it the same way. Also hopefully the drier vent hose will be long enough. We will deal with all of that tomorrow when the Sears clothes dries arrives. I will now go through my email. CIO

Wednesday, 06/20/06, 11:45 A.M.: My relative was worried that the old www.ge.com drier downstairs in the basement might be faulty and cause a fire hazard, so my relative ordered for $329.99 Kenmore 67432 6.5 cu. ft. Super Capacity Electric Dryer at Sears.com plus $60 delivery charge and removal and installation charges and $16.50 sales tax for about $406.49 all together. It is suppose to be delivered Friday June 22, 2007. We are waiting for the Cable guy to hook up the Cable Service before we go out. I printed out the sales and order receipts.

My white sneakers now have green grass stains on them from weed whacking yesterday, but I have extra pairs at home. Last night we put the garbage out by the street to be picked up. They have picked up the recycle material, but they have not yet picked up the regular garbage. The Epson C60 printer attached to the IBM Netvista is 60% full on black ink and 100% full on color ink, and there are also a spare new black and color cartridges for it in the drawer the setup is on.

Saturday, 06/16/06, 10:45 P.M.: I woke up at 4 A.M. this morning. I worked on the internet for a while. I tried resending my email of my notes because they did not show up on my machine. I ate breakfast of oatmeal, with honey, and sliced bananas, a toasted bagel with olive oil, orange juice, grape juice with certo, and cransraspberry juice, and a cup of coffee.

They left me, and I stopped by the Wells car wash, and for $5 in quarters, I spray washed the car. I then drove into Kennebunkport, Maine and I met up with my relatives at my relative's house. Thus without the car wash, it was about a five hour drive all together. I unloaded my luggage and unpacked. I tried to setup the laptop in the guest bunk room, but I could not get it to go online. I tried the other USB wireless adapter, I had left here last year. I removed the wireless and the LAN cards. I met with some other relatives. I changed into some other clothes. My relatives and I drove along the waterfront to Cape Purpose. We went to the Wayfarer restaurant. I had Prime rib of beef cooked medium rare with noodles with oil and a glass of water and a roll with butter. After dinner, we returned back to my relative's house. I worked with the Toshiba laptop some more. I finally got it to go online by bringing it upstairs where the wireless USB device has a better or more direct wireless reception. The IBM Netvista computer seems to work fine downstairs too. On the wireless USB device, I brought up to Maine, I dropped it, and I broke its antenna, but the wire is still connected, so I scotch taped the arm back on for now. While doing this now, I am watching the movie "Breach" with the rest of the relatives. CIO

Note:<888> 06/13/07 Wednesday 2:45 A.M.:  I woke up at 5 P.M..  I ate breakfast of two bowls of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.  I chatted with two relatives.   I picked up my mail, and I threw out some garbage.    I went back to bed, and I chatted with a friend about 9 P.M..   I slept until 1 A.M..   I sleep more on Tuesdays, since I tend to be busy on weekends.   Earlier while I was a awake, I ate half of a 12.5 ounce can of mixed nuts.  I washed the breakfast dishes.   I am doing two loads of laundry, and I have 35 minutes on the dry cycle.  I put clean linens on the bed.   I will now go through my email.  I have noticed recently that there is a sign at www.mcdonalds.com on West Putnam Avenue that they are now opened until 2 A.M..  Possibly the one in Riverside is also opened late too.   Of course the ones in Darien at the I-95 rest area are also opened all of the time.  Oakbrook, Illinois is where www.mcdonalds.com is headquartered, and the last I heard McDonalds University is there, which is for management training, which is different than www.lfc.edu where I went to college nearby.  However, at Lake Forest College I ate at the local McDonalds on the nearby Eden's Expressway all of the time while at Lake Forest College, so obviously I have eaten more than my fair share of McDonalds meals in the past, but recently their meals are two expensive for my budget, so after working in French restaurants for eight years, I manage to do my own cooking Michael Louis Scott's Recipes .  Although I did not do the cooking in the restaurants, anyone whom has worked in a professional kitchen would know that a good portion of working in a professional kitchen is prep work and cleaning up.   Of course the chef gets all of the glory.  CIO   

Note:<888> 06/12/07 Tuesday 6:25 A.M.:  In other financial notes, I have $15 due in a rebate on the computer memory, and $20 in a rebate on the Motorola wireless telephone, and I got $10 registration bonus in extra minutes on the AT&T wireless phone.   I still have to pay my modest rent, once I receive my rent bill.   I have the funds to pay my rent.  I am not sure if my relative's Audi that I am going to drive from Old Lyme, Connecticut up to Kennebunkport, Maine this Saturday has a full tank of gasoline or not, so I might have to pay for some extra gasoline.   Also I will have to be on a day schedule to drive up there, so more than likely in the next day or two, I will have to get back on a day schedule.  Switching back and forth from day to night schedules and back can be very exhausting, but obviously I have done it many times in my life.  Also I have to be rested enough to make the drive up to Maine safely.   The summit between President Bush www.whitehouse.gov and the Prime Minister of Russia will be two or days after I leave, so I will not be in the way, but more than likely I will face a lot of the advanced security precautions in my preparations to help open up a family house there.   They tend to be low key, but if one knows anything about German Sheppard dogs, they are always snooping around.  I do not plan to sublet my apartment to any visiting Russians while I am away.   However, we have enough of them snooping around here all of the time.   Also by September 12, 2007, I will have to make a $100 payment on my General Electric Profile 15,500 BTU air conditioner with remote control maintenance contract, which I have never used for the six years that I have maintained it.   The air conditioner is running just fine, but I do not use it as much with the higher energy costs.  My May 2007 bill at www.cl-p.com was $191.24 slightly more than the monthly budget average amount of $187.  For 32 days, I used 1059 KWH which I think is Kilowatt Hours or 33 per day compared to 878 for the month of May 2006 a year ago at 29 per day, so obviously it is warmer here this year, but I have gotten use to warmer temperatures in the apartment, but the warmer temperatures can also cause more wear and tear on the computer equipment.   I will not be running my home server http://mikelouisscott.com/ while I am in Maine, but there is an old IBM computer up there that I might be able to use again to post notes at http://geocities.com/mikelscott/ like I did last year.   I actually enjoy the drive up there and back, since I do not get much of a chance to travel long distance anymore.   I have done it regularly many times since 1978, when my mother married my step father now diseased a long term summer resident of the Maine coast.   However, my paternal grandmother's family were one of the original European founders the George's plantation in York, Maine, so more than likely I have some distant relatives in that area on the Gard side of the family whom were from Devonshire, England. However, I am so busy up there, usually when I am there, I do not get much of a chance to meet any people, and I am so computer tech orientated, I tend not to make sense to some of the locals whom are more interested in the waterfront activities.   I will now shut down the primary computer, and I will go to bed soon.   My old Kennebunkport, Maine pages are at Kennebunkport, Maine, Scott's Internet Hotlist and http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/137.htm , but I have not had time to check them out since last year.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/12/07 Tuesday 12:40 A.M.:  I made and ate the same burger with sauteed onions and cheese dinner, which I ate with rice and steamed baby carrots and broccoli crowns.   When one is Dog Ass poor in America, beggars can not be chosers.   Obviously not many people know anything about computers around here, since there is not much money in the local computer business around here.   It is sort of queer that www.ibm.com managed to make money off the computer business in nearby Armonk, New York, but since it is near an airport, maybe they fly around to areas where people do not know much about computers, and they charge a lot for their services.   I have heard rumors, they charge $400 an hour for tech support on computers, but that is probably on bigger main frame computers, and not simple home computers. I can not even afford to bird watch around the waterfront anymore down on Steamboat Road near by the Watson family Indian Harbor Yacht club, because all of their Spanish gardeners try to run me off all the time, as if anything high tech was going on down there.   They just don't want you to observe www.ibm.com entertaining their many guests in this area.   Old Man Watson use to ride a Harley Davidson motor cycle to work in his later years, so I guess IBM had their own motor cycle gang in case people tried to encroach on their turf.  However, my grandma Scott's grandma was a Davidson, so more than likely I have a little bit of the Davidson family look, and not the Watson family look.   However, I am so near sighted from working on computers and reading all of these years, I do not think I would have the capability of ever riding a motor cycle.   I road an Indian motor cycle around Hurley Haywood's grandma Hurley's farm in Oakbrook, Illinois once for about an hour in 1972.   I also road a moped in Bermuda back in 1968, and that is about the extent of my experience on motorized bikes.   However, in the old days, when gasoline was cheaper, I use to drive a car quite a bit, but I have not had much experience recently, since gasoline has been too expensive over the last decade or more.   I basically have a limited driving experience of one round trip out of town to Kennebunkport, Maine a year, and that is about it.  Since the local Jewish population seems to think I am Nazi spy, it is obvious they have never ventured west of the Hudson River and seen the open spaces of America, which I have had the opportunity to do a number of times.   However, it would be a lot more expensive anymore.   Since my mother was from a Dutch family in Michigan, more than likely there are other people out there that look like me not to mention in Illinois.   From what I can tell, we do not get many visitors here anymore, with the higher prices of fuel, so one tends to see more local people in the area instead of the larger influx of people coming and going.   With the higher prices of fuel around here, they are really rolling up the streets at night around here, and they no longer even bother having the lights on at the veterans monument across the street from the senior citizen to save money.   From what I can tell, the trains are still running, but there do not seem to be as many passengers coming and going off the trains as in past years.   Recently, when I have gone into CVS during the evening hours on weekdays, I have been the only customer.    At night there are not that many people in the grocery stores anymore too.    Since I grew up in this town when it was a relatively slow town, it is sort of quaint to see the town returning to a more peaceful atmosphere.   However, we are suppose to be a wealthy town, so there tends to be someone moving around all of the time, if only to go back and forth to Manhattan, where people also have homes.   There is not as much air traffic anymore from what I can tell too.   I would imagine with the higher prices of heating homes up north in the winter with the higher prices of fuel, more people are moving to warmer climates by choice, and not necessarily for retirement options.  Bad news for Bagdad on the Hudson FOXNews.com - Chertoff: NYC, Get Ready for Hurricane - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News .   CIO

Note:<888> 06/10/07 Sunday 3:05 A.M.:   I enjoyed dinner, but it seems to take longer to cook the same ingredients Chinese style.   I guess the Chinese have more time on their hands.   After dinner, I ate the last two scoops of Moose Tracks ice cream.   If you want to see how exciting it has been around here in the past, you can always look at these old links Michael Louis Scott Old Web Pages .  Really not much ever happens out here in the boon docks.    I suppose it is even less exciting the further out into New England one goes.   For the bright lights and big city action, we have Manhattan 20 miles west of us, but I heard on television tonight, it costs $300 a month to park you car there, if you feel like sleeping in your car in Manhattan.   I suppose that might be cheaper than driving around in this neck of the woods.   However, New York City tends to take advantage of people from Out of Town, so one should beware before adventuring into Manhattan.   I see enough New York City people out here, and they never give me the time of day, so I suppose much would be the same in their neck of the woods.   Basically they expect to be paid all of the time for whatever it is they do for a living which for many of them does not make much sense.   The only way to boycott New York City in this neck of the woods is not to pay for Cable Television, and simply read for entertainment.   However, the New York people generally get ahead by knowing someone older with money and influence, and it seems to me that many of them do not have the educational back ground to be pursuing the careers they have fallen into by luck or circumstance.   CIO 

Note:<888> 06/09/07 Saturday 11:55 P.M.:  After the last message, I did a Vista Complete PC backup from the first hard drive to the second hard drive.   I also made out a www.chase.com check for $2 to send to the Republican National Committee www.gop.com to mail with a Birthday Card they sent me to President Bush www.whitehouse.gov to celebrate his 61st birthday on July 6, 2007.   I mailed it in the mail room downstairs.  After cleaning up, I went out after the last message.  I went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon www.exxon.com gasoline station, and I bought $14 of self service premium unleaded gasoline at $3.699 a gallon for 33.8 miles driving since last Saturday which since I filled up the gasoline tank to the maximum works out to 8.93 miles per gallons, but I put in at least a gallon more than last Saturday, so it looks like I am getting close to 13 miles per gallon in stop and go traffic driving downtown at an average speed of 13 miles per hour.  The odometer is 114295 miles.   I washed the car windows.   I checked the tires for 35 PSI rear and 30 PSI front.   On a heavier car, one has to check the tire air pressure more frequently.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for .99, two 12.5 ounce cans of Planters Redskin Spanish peanuts for $1.49 each can, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, fresh green Chiquita bananas for .54 a pound for $1.24, and broccoli crowns for $1.99 a pound for $3.08 for $11.28 total.  I then went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and the train station area.   I chatted with the proprietor of the wine bar beneath the Banker's Trust Building.   I then went back by the Stop and Shop, and I bought the last 12.5 ounce can of Planters Redskin Spanish peanuts for $1.49, a 5 ounce bottle of House of Tsang hot chili sesame oil for $2.99, a 10 ounce bottle of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce for $2.89, and two 10 ounce bottles of Kikkoman naturally brewed soy sauce for $2.19 each for $11.75 total.   I then returned home.   I chatted with a relative who was watching the Hallmark special on television.  I will now do this.  I took two of the 5/8th inch thick boneless pork tenderloins, and I cut them across .25 inch thick on an angle into about inch long strips.   I put the pork pieces in a bowl.   I peeled and diced a medium large onion, and I put the onion pieces in a bowl.   I took about 25 baby carrots, and I sliced them length wise into 1/4 to 1/6 sections, and I put them in a bowl.   I cut about a cup of broccoli crowns into small cubic inch size piece, and I put them in a bowl.   I took my Chinese wok that I bought from a Japanese family at a tag sale in Old Greenwich for $2 about 15 years ago, and I put about three ounces of extra virgin olive oil in it and about three pads of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and I heated it on the large electric burner over medium high electric burner heat.  Once the fat began to bubble, I added the four bowls or raw ingredients, and I mixed them all together.   I season the ingredients with ground black pepper, garlic power, oregano, Italian spices, Old Bay Seasoning, and Red Cayenne pepper.   I kept stirring the ingredients for about 10 minutes, until most the ingredients were mostly cooked.  In a Wok you spread the ingredients around the sides and bottom, since all of it is hot, and keep stirring the ingredients to mix in the fat on the bottom of the Wok with the ingredients.  I then added a about a teaspoon of sesame oil, a few tablespoons of lemon juice, about five tablespoons of Kikkoman soy sauce, and a half dozen shakes of Frank's hot sauce.   I kept stirring the ingredients for about another five minutes.  I will make up a batch of http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/mlsrice.htm which I will also add a little bit of beef bullion seasoning and Old Bay seasoning to along with the other regular ingredients.  I will then put half the rice on a large dinner plate spreading it over the plate, and the other half I will put in a Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator.   I then put the Wok ingredients with its juices spread over the rice on the dinner plate.  I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.

Note:<888> 06/09/07 Saturday 12:10 A.M.:  I have the primary Vista computer setup to view in  Clone mode with the Sony television monitor or living room Sony television, the content of the left monitor of the two computer displays.   I watched some of the NASA TV http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ which is available to play with the Windows Media player which works with the remote monitor and in clone mode with the Nvidia video card.   On my computer, one has to jiggle the connector in the video cable running over on top of the right mouse pad to get a secure fitting, so it comes through in color.   I do not have the sound hooked up to the television, but I can play it through the computer speakers.  When I have the time, I could get the cable and adapter to hook up the sound to the television speakers.   I have it my notes around last February 2007 what parts, I need to do it.  Currently a piece of the heat shield on the shuttle is bent up.  I do not know if it is a major problem.  It is called a slight tear in the thermal insulation blanket in the orbital maneuver pod of the shuttle.  I filled out the $15 rebate form, and I included its other needed material.   I mailed it in the mail room downstairs.   I went outside briefly.  I will now go through my email.  They have 1.5 hours until their sleep shift.  I will listen to the live feed while I go through my email.  CIO     

Note:<888> 06/08/07 Friday 10:10 P.M.:   I went out after the last message to wait for UPS to deliver the memory.   For some odd reason, the UPS truck was parked out back by the Little League Baseball field watching the ball game, but I was able to get the memory from the driver.   I tried installing it in the primary Vista computer, but it would not work in the primary Vista computer, possibly because it is 2.6 volts, and the Gigabyte motherboard is suppose to take 2.5 volt memory.   I tested it with the Memory Diagnostics from the Vista DVD.   I then took out a 512 meg. memory chip from the FIC server, and I put it in the Vista primary computer, and it worked just fine.   Thus the Vista computer now only has 2.5 gigabytes of memory.  I enabled Spread Spectrum in the Vista Computer CMOS.   I put the OEM 1 gigabyte of memory from the Vista computer that I had taken out in the first memory slot of the FIC server, where I took the 512 meg. memory chip out, and the FIC server now has 2 gigabytes of memory.   I put the new 1 gigabyte of memory in the Epox computer first memory slot, and it tested just fine, so the Epox computer now has 2 gigabytes of memory also.   However, with the compatible memory in the Vista primary computer, it should be more stable.   I watched the www.nasa.gov Atlantis Space Shuttle launch.   I chatted with a relative.   I will now reheat and eat the other half of the bean and beef stew that I made the night before last, and I will eat it with steamed broccoli and baby carrots along with a glass of iced tea.   I the will fill out the $15 rebate form on the new memory.   I kept it, since there was nothing wrong with it, and it is a good price, even though it does not work with the Vista computer.   Current systems configurations are http://mikelouisscott.com/computer.htm .  CIO 

Note:<888> 06/08/07 Friday 5:20 P.M.:  I went outside, and I looked at the new rebuilt alternator on the 1992 Buick Roadmaster wagon, and I can not find any identifying trade marks on the unit to identify the manufacturer or rebuilder.   There is just a serial number.   I aired out the car to cool it down.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/08/07 Friday 3:55 P.M.:  Need we say more A shore thing: Nantucket on a budget - CNN.com .   Of course, when I lived in Nantucket from 1975 to 1983 mostly from around April to December varying with my ability to afford to make it back there, things were a lot cheaper.  When I left Nantucket, one could still buy a roast beef sandwich with Swiss cheese on a Kaiser roll with mayo, with potato salad, and a pint of low fat cream at the A&P for $7 for lunch.   I was only 135 pounds at my maximum weight, so I would occasionally drink low fat cream to try to put on weight.   I recall at the liquor store on Main Street, one could buy a .75 liter of French White table wine for $2, which I did on my day off, once a week.   I only paid $40 a week to rent a bed on India or Hussey street.   I earned up to $8.75 an hour as a dishwasher, when I left the island working up to 80 hours or more a week.   However, when I left the island, I never had much money left to show for my endeavors.   CIO  

Note:<888> 06/08/07 Friday 3:20 P.M.:   I was awake at noon.    I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.   I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I picked up my mail downstairs.   I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.   I watered the plants with 10 drops of Schultz liquid plant food in each quart of water.   I put out more white vinegar in the scent bowl in the living room.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/07/07 Thursday 11:55 P.M.:  I took two of the 5/8th inch thick boneless pork tenderloins, and I cut them across .25 inch thick on an angle into about inch long strips.   I put the pork pieces in a bowl.   I peeled and diced a medium large onion, and I put the onion pieces in a bowl.   I took about 25 baby carrots, and I sliced them length wise into 1/4 to 1/6 sections, and I put them in a bowl.   I cut about a cup of broccoli crowns into small cubic inch size piece, and I put them in a bowl.   I took my Chinese wok that I bought from a Japanese family at a tag sale in Old Greenwich for $2 about 15 years ago, and I put about three ounces of extra virgin olive oil in it and about three pads of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and I heated it on the large electric burner over medium high electric burner heat.  Once the fat began to bubble, I added the four bowls or raw ingredients, and I mixed them all together.   I season the ingredients with ground black pepper, garlic power, oregano, Italian spices, Old Bay Seasoning, and Red Cayenne pepper.   I kept stirring the ingredients for about 10 minutes, until most the ingredients were mostly cooked.  In a Wok you spread the ingredients around the sides and bottom, since all of it is hot, and keep stirring the ingredients to mix in the fat on the bottom of the Wok with the ingredients.  I then added a about a teaspoon of sesame oil, a few tablespoons of lemon juice, about five tablespoons of Kikkoman soy sauce, and a half dozen shakes of Frank's hot sauce.   I kept stirring the ingredients for about another five minutes.   While doing that, I reheated the left over batch of rice in a Rubbermaid container on two vegetable cycles in the microwave oven.   I then put the rice on a large dinner plate spreading it over the plate.   I then put the Wok ingredients with its juices spread over the rice on the dinner plate.  I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.   I don't own a pair of chop sticks, and I have forgotten how to use them, but they are not too hard to learn to use, since a lot of people seem to manage to know to use them.   CIO 

Note:<888> 06/07/07 Thursday 10:10 P.M.:  I woke up at 1 P.M. today.   I went outside briefly, and I picked up my mail.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.   I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I ordered Newegg.com - Crucial 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory - OEM for $57.99 with free shipping less 1.1% discount of .64 less $2.99 rush order fee plus $2.99 rush order fee for $57.35 and there is a $15 mail in rebate on it http://images10.newegg.com/uploadfilesfornewegg/rebate/SH/Crucial20-146-545May17Jun3007kl09.pdf , so it will eventually cost me $42.35.   I will put it in the primary Vista computer, and I will move the generic OEM memory strip from it to the FIC server and I will move one of the 512 meg. memory chips from the FIC server to the Epox computer.   The new configuration is reflected at http://mikelouisscott.com/computer.htm .  I showered, and I cleaned up.   I went out, and I drove over to Kohl's in Port Chester, New York, and the Port Chester, New York shopping center.   I returned the Kitchen Aid dishwashing wand because it leaks, for $7.99 and the refills for $3.99 plus .88 tax for $12.86 total returned.    I then bought three pairs of the Sonoma Life Style Extra large sleep ware boxer leisure shorts for half price for $8 each, 100% cotton with one in green floral patter, one in medium blue tropical scene pattern, and one in red plaid pattern for plus .81 tax for $24.81 total.   I then went by Linens and Things, and they had a dishwashing wand for $5, but they did not have the replacement refills.  I then went by Jembro, and a River Ridge brown leather wallet for $3.99, a six pack of Hanes crew socks for $4.99, and two three packs of Bertelli boxer shorts in extra large for $4.99 a three pack, a Broder Home Design deluxe shower curtain liner with metal grommets for $1.99, a Tech Gear wireless telephone portable hands-free universal ear piece for $3.99, a 13.2 ounce can of Star mixed nuts for $2.29 and $1.25 tax for $28.48 total.    I then returned to a very busy downtown Greenwich Avenue.   I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   I chatted with a regular.   I stopped by CVS, and I toured the store.   I went by the AT&T wireless store formerly Cingular store just west of the top of Greenwich Avenue.  They told me they offer a similar deal on a Go Phone.   I went by the ATM machine at the Mason Street branch of the Chase Bank.  I returned back to CVS, and I bought a Philips MP3 Gear Universal armband, fistband, waistpack holder to use with my MP3 player when it arrives, and I also can use it with my wireless telephone on rainy days or at the beach for protection from the elements, since it is a small sealed case, and I bought it for $9.99 and .60 tax for $10.59 total.  I then completed my walk of Greenwich Avenue.  The LaCoste LACOSTE USA - www.lacoste.com/usa across the street from CVS on Greenwich Avenue is suppose to open tomorrow.    I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts centers.   I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I read the Greenwich Time.   I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a Libman Dish Scrub and Soap dispenser for $2 and a package of two refills for $2 and a dozen large eggs for $2.39 and .24 tax for $6.63 total.   I then returned home.  I put away my purchases.   I chatted with a relative.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/07/07 Thursday 1:40 A.M.:  I put about an inch of water in a Revere pot with steamer tray, and I added about 1.5 cups of baby carrots and broccoli spears, and I put the lid on, and I steamed them over high electric burner heat until the steam rose, and then medium high electric burner heat all together for 15 minutes.   I also made up a batch of Michael Louis Scott's Bean Stew , and I ate half, and I put half in a Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator.   I put a little bit of olive oil on the steamed vegetables.   I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  CIO  

Note:<888> 06/07/07 Thursday 12:10 A.M.:   I put a 7 ounce Banquet frozen chicken pot pie in a microwave proof plastic dish with microwave cover, and I microwaved it for four minutes, and I ate it with a glass of iced tea.   I went out after the last message.   I chatted with a neighbor.   I went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of boneless tenderloins of pork for $1.99 a pound for $4.08, a three pound bag of onions for $2.79, and a 1.25 liter bottle of Care One Antiseptic mouth wash blue mint flavor for $2.50 and .15 tax for $9.52 total.  I then went by the Greenwich Library video drop, and I returned the DVD movie "Firewall" that I did not have time to watch.   I then went downtown, and I tried calling a relative on the AT&T wireless, and it cost 50 cents for a no answer telephone call.   I do not think they should charge, until the other end picks up.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   I viewed the Lexus dealership and the Carriage House Motors showroom displays.   Nobody has bought the Mercedes Gull Wing Roadster.  I sat out at various locations.   The sewer department was cleaning out the storm drain at Railroad Avenue and Greenwich Avenue.   It was a pretty quiet downtown with a few pub crawlers, and that was about it.   I returned home without driving the extra two miles down to the end of Steamboat Road and back.   I figure after 20 years of driving down to the end of Steamboat Road, they should think about paying me for my time and travel, not to mention all of the time on Greenwich Avenue and to and from downtown Greenwich for the last 24 years.   Of course, Greenwich, Connecticut is suppose to be mostly volunteers, so nobody gets paid anyway.   Maybe, they are trying to get me to pay back for the 50,000 security police I observed in Paris and Albertville, France during the Winter Olympics in 1992.   Still, Greenwich Avenue is an enjoyable exercise walk.  CIO    

Note:<888> 06/06/07 Wednesday 8:35 P.M.:   The reason I think the Kitchen Aid dishwashing wand leaked liquid dishwashing soap was that I had the sponge attachment on backwards.  I changed it around so the pointed end was facing out, so hopefully it will not leak anymore.  My appointment this Thursday at 3 P.M. was cancelled, but I have it next Thursday.   However, I will not have it again until July 12, 2007.

Note:<888> 06/05/07 Tuesday 7:50 P.M.:   I was awake at 7:30 A.M. this morning.    I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.  I went back to bed until 10 A.M..   I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.   I hung the Kitchen Aid dishwashing wand on a OOK hook above to the left of the kitchen sink.   It seems like it leaks the liquid detergent, so I may have to return it to Kolhs with the refills for a refund.   I will have to check it out more closely.   I went outside, and I chatted with a visiting associate.  I chatted with a neighbor and the building custodian.   I picked up my mail.   I read part of US News & World Report - Breaking News, World News, Business News, and America's Best Colleges - USNews.com , and it said that one of the ten best retirement areas in the U.S.A. is Kennebunk, Maine.  I chatted with a relative.   About noon, the order for Prepaid Cell Phones/GoPhone® Cell Phone Plans | AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless for 25 cents a minute incoming and outgoing, so I will only be using it for emergencies or when I need to make or receive a call.   I ordered the Cell Phone Details | AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless Motorola C139 - GoPhone® (Pay As You Go)  for $139.99 less $100 instant rebate and another $20 mail in rebate for current payment of $39.99, and a Accessory Details | AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless Black Leather Pouch - Horizontal Universal for $26.99 and a Accessory Details | AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless Motorola Travel Charger for $14.99 for $81.97 total with free shipping, and it will eventually will be $20 cheaper with the mail in rebate for $61.97, and it arrived via FedEx.  The extra power supply still has to ship.  With tax, the order total will be $86.99 once the power supply ships.   I installed the battery in the Motorola wireless phone, and I charged it up.   I read part of the manual, and I programmed its telephone directory.   I activated the account online at Pay As You Go Online or  https://www.wireless.att.com/olam/loginAction.olamexecute , and I got a $10 activation credit along with the $25 I activated the account with, so I have $35 on the Pay As You go Account for the next 90 days using it at 25 cents a minute for incoming and outgoing calls.  The $25 amount had a $1.50 tax, so it cost $26.50 total for the minutes.   I will carry it with me, when I go out, but I will only use it for emergency type calls, or as needed, so I will not be giving out the telephone number to the wireless telephone, because I can not afford to receive calls at 25 cents a minute.  I still have to read more of the Motorola manual.  I filled out the $20 rebate form with the other material, and I have it set to mail.   When I go out in damp or wet or rainy weather, I can carry it in a zip lock bag, or look for a waterproof case.   Its leather holder is not waterproof.  I will now mail the rebate information downstairs in the mail room.   I left the cordless telephone on the dining table by the AT&T telephone connected to Optimum Voice.   I plugged its charger into the surge protector behind and in between the two primary computer monitors, with its plug to the wireless phone by the wireless phone.   Once the phone is charged, you are suppose to disconnect it from the charger.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/04/07 Monday 7:20 P.M.:   I went outside, and I checked out the new alternator.   It looks to be a new one and not a rebuilt one.   However, I can not tell the manufacturer of the alternator.   I checked with Exxon, and the alternator is a rebuilt "Performance Plus" alternator.   I can not find any information on it on the internet.   However, it looks to be a well built unit from what I can tell.  They told me they had a hard time finding a replacement unit on short notice.   I chatted with a neighbor.   I chatted with the relative that paid for the repairs earlier, and I faxed the relative a copy of the repair invoice and receipt.   I made a few telephone calls and left messages.   I ate two scoops of Moose Tracks ice cream.   I will now go through my email.   I need to get back to my regular computer activities, since that is what I do as volunteer.   With about six weeks of car maintenance tweaking on the 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, I have not been as focused on my computer activities.   There is always something to keep busy with on the computers.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/04/07 Monday 4:15 P.M.:  I went out after the last message without cleaning up.   I caught the 1:43 P.M. bus on West Putnam Avenue and Western Junior High for $1.25.   They dropped me off across the street from the Exxon station.   The car was ready.   I paid with the help of a relative to Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon gasoline station, replace alternator $174.68 part, replace fan or serpentine belt $70.68 for part, load test battery, alternator, and starter $44.50, labor replace belt and alternator $89, automatic transmission flush and service $149.95 labor, automatic transmission flush kit $29.95 16 quarts of Automatic Transmission fluid Dextron +3 $53.28, total labor $283.45, total parts $328.59, Supply Charge $20.92, subtotal $632.96, sales tax $37.98 for total $670.94.   I checked underneath the hood of the Buick Wagon, and it looks just fine, and the car runs just fine.   I went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought two six packs of Stop and Shop English muffins for .99 each six pack, a half gallon of Florida Natural orange juice with calcium for $3, a 16 ounce container of Billy Bee honey from Canada for $3.99, a six ounce box of Certo fruit pectin for $3.79, a 48 ounce container of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats for $4.49, a 200 count package of Splenda for $9.39,  a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, Chiquita bananas for $1.99 a pound for $1.65, and a head of broccoli for $2.71 for $33.99 total.    I then returned home.   I put away my groceries.   I used my cordless Black and Decker Dust Buster, and I vacuumed out the car, and I installed the new front floor mats.   With the lots of free rain that we had the car looks shiny new, just like it did when it was new 15 years ago.   The car has 15 miles on a full tank of gasoline.   It you look at Michael Scott 1992 Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon , I now have $2,497 total invested in the car.   I think the alternator looks new and not a rebuilt one, and more than likely it is an A.C. Delco one, since Greenwich Exxon uses the manufacture's replacement parts.    CIO 

Note:<888> 06/04/07 Monday 12:55 P.M.:   I chatted with a friend.   I threw out the shipping box the mats came in.   I picked up my mail, and I chatted with the building custodian and some neighbors.   I microwaved and ate a 16 ounce Boston Market pot roast dinner, which I ate with a glass of iced tea.  I will now shower and clean up, and I will walk downtown, and I guess spend some time at the Greenwich Library, until I pick the Buick wagon up at 3 P.M..   I will now shut down the primary computer.   Actually, I am probably better at computer maintenance than car maintenance, since computers are what I have tinkered with for 17 years.   CIO 

Note:<888> 06/04/07 Monday 11:25 A.M.:   I was awake at 7 A.M..   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, a toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I chatted with Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon garage and a relative and a friend several times.   Basically the Exxon station is going to replace the alternator and the serpentine belt or fan belt for a $180 cost for the alternator and $50 cost for the belt and 2.5 hours labor at $100 an hour for $250 labor, and they are also going to flush and refill the automatic transmission for $200, for about $680 total cost.  The automatic transmission was replaced under the Buick warranty at 55,000 miles, so it is 59,000 miles since the automatic transmission fluid was last installed, when it was new, and it is supposed to be replaced at 50,000 mile intervals, so it is over due.   The car should be ready at Exxon about 3 P.M..  That is basically all that needs to be done on the car, and I will have about $2,500 into the car all together, which is below the book value of the car, which is about $3,000.  The Highland ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS : JC Whitney: Auto Parts & Accessories for the front seat in tan for $39.99 for the front floor of the car just arrived.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/03/07 Sunday 9:30 P.M.:  I chatted with two relatives and a friend.   Nobody else seems to be around.   I chatted with a local security group and a out of town security group.   I ate two servings of two scoops of Moose Tracks ice cream and a bowl of Ramen chicken flavored noodles.   Not much else seems to be happening.    I guess everyone from the college groups have gone home for the summer.   Basically once the local public Greenwich schools get out a lot of other people go away for the summer to cooler locations, because we can be quite hot here in the summer.   Of course even up north it gets hot in the summer.   I remember one August night in Hanover, New Hampshire, when it was 97 degrees Fahrenheit and no breeze.   The Palestinians visitors today were interested in my web sight, so I gave them the web address.   I chatted about volcanology and the weather, and they seemed to know something about tectonics.  They asked me if I knew anyone from Palestine, and I told them I met a nurse from the Greenwich Hospital from Palestine, and I forgot to tell them I knew somebody that married the former wife of the Palestinian spokesman in New York, Dr. Mahady, and his former wife was from Nova Scotia.   They asked me if I knew anyone from Israel, and I told them I knew Jim Warburg and that he started Israel with Roosevelt and Churchill.   They seemed to have high tech communications equipment like black berries.   They walked north from the Veterans monument across the street from the senior citizen after I chatted with them.   I will now go through my email, and I will do some bottom fishing on the internet, but there are not many bargains anymore, since the Chinese seem to have computers that analyze people's buying patterns and needs.   Of course money is not worth as much anymore, so what seems to be expensive today, might actually be cheap.   For the economy minded driver who does not drive on the highway very much, I noticed this car today,  Toyota Echo .  These are all that are available in this area http://www.cars.com/go/search/search_results.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=21&sort=true&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=ascending&sortfield=MILES%2CPRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&criteria=K-%7CE-%7CM-_47_%7CD-_5227_%7CN-N%7CR-30%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-06830&sortId=&aff=national , and they do not sell them in this country anymore.  If one had the money, one could get this basic model Toyota Configurator Yaris , but it starts at about $13,560, and none of the Yaris models seem to have air conditioning, unless it is a standard feature, they do not mention.   Of course, one would have to pay taxes, dealer prep, and other expenses, and without financing charges, one would be over $14,000.   I will now go through my email.  CIO   

Note:<888> 06/03/07 Sunday 5:35 P.M.:   I went out after the last message.   When I started the 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, the alternator light came on.   I checked underneath the hood to make sure the fan belt was not slipping, and it looked all right.  I looked in the mechanics manual, and it said that when the alternator light comes on, the alternator needs to be replaced.   At www.jcwhitney.com , they sell replacement ones for about $90 to $160 JC Whitney: Auto Parts & Auto Accessories for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Jeep and More 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Alternator .   I drove the car over to the Greenwich Automotive Exxon service station, and I dropped it off there.   Since the car also has a voltage regular according the J.C. Whitney, which is not covered in the mechanics manual, it could also be the voltage regulator.   I told them if they have to replace the alternator to also replace the fan belt, which I was told by them needs to be replaced.  I then walked the full length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   I stopped by CVS, and I browsed their weekly circular.   I chatted with a couple visitors from Palestine.   I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought a Barbeque Bucks scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.   I chatted with the Metro North ticket person supplying their office.   I chatted with someone wearing a Mercedes Benz cap, that caught the local bus.   I walked back up Greenwich Avenue, and I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.   I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and at their 50% off appliance section, they have a 6,000 BTU air conditioner for half price.   I stopped by CVS again, and I bought a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle Barbeque potato chips for .88.   I ate half of them on the bench across the street from the Ginger Man restaurant.    I then stopped by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with two of their reference librarians.   I then walked back home on West Putnam Avenue.   I sat in the park just west of www.mcdonalds.com .   I noticed the building just west of Delta Auto parts is for rent.   I use to go to Delta Auto Part, but with all of the traffic on West Putnam Avenue, it is too dangerous backing out of their front parking places.   I think they are owned by the same people that own Gateway auto supply anyway.  I then sat in front of the park in front of the West Putnam Avenue branch of the Chase Bank www.chase.com .   I then returned home.   The old Mobil gasoline station at West Putnam Avenue and Weaver Street is being converted into a mini mart and gasoline station.   I then returned home.   I chatted with several neighbors.   I then chatted with a relative, and the relative is going to lend me the funds for my alternator repairs.    CIO  

Note:<888> 06/03/07 Sunday 9:45 A.M.:  I chatted with a friend and a relative.   I microwaved a Stouffer's 21 ounce lasagna with meat sauce, and I put some grated parmesan cheese on it, and I ate it with a glass of iced tea.   I will now shut down the primary computer, and I will shower and clean up, and go out for a cloudy Sunday morning walk.  The Scottish in Nantucket were traditionally very cheap, and they did not like having to pay for a minister, so they adopted the Quaker religion, which does not have ministers.   The Quakers just have meetings, where they sit around and chat with their neighbors.   CIO

Note:<888> 06/03/07 Sunday 4:25 A.M.:   Before going to bed after the last message, I ate three scoops of Fudge tracks ice cream.   I also did a Vista Complete PC backup from the first hard drive to the second hard drive.  I woke up at 1:30 A.M..   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, a toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I am installing the updates on the Epox and the Northgate Syntax computers.   I had to reenter the BIOS settings on the Epox computer, so possibly its CMOS battery needs to be replaced.   I got a registered letter from Microsoft yesterday about the new product activation features in Vista to protect against software piracy.  I am not sure why they had to send it in a registered letter.  I am in total software compliance.  I am making up a batch of Formula Two http://mikelouisscott.com/icetea.htm .  CIO    

End of Scott's Notes week of 06/02/07:

Note:<888> 06/02/07 Saturday 2:55 P.M.:   I went out after the last message.   I got on Exit 2 of I-95 East, and I got off at Exit 3 in central Greenwich.   I drove through the center of town, and I went by the Shell Station at East Putnam Avenue and Sherwood Place.   I asked them about emissions testing on the Buick, since I already have the waiver through June 8, 2008.   They explained to me that if I had it tested and failed, I would lose my exemption.    They had finished testing for the day anyway.   I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a Nordic chauffeur and some staff.   I checked out the DVD movie "Firewall".   I then returned home.   I microwaved and ate a Boston Market 16 ounce pot roast dinner.   I have been awake since 8 P.M. last night, so after I send out my weekly notes, I will shut down the primary computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO  

Note:<888> 06/02/07 Saturday 12:45 A.M.:   I went out after the last message, and I drove as far as the Greenwich Library to warm up the car.   I then returned home.   I used my funnel and hose assembly to slowly pour in the 16 ounce can of  Welcome to Solder-It, Inc.   Catalytic Converter Cleaner and Deodorizer into the carburetor after removing the air filter, and I also increased the idle speed slightly with my Club-It steering wheel lock.   The car seemed to be running more smoothly. I cleared the error codes.   I took the car for a test drive, but the "Check Engine Soon" light still came on.  I went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street, and then I drove down Greenwich Avenue to Arch street to exit 3 and East on I-95 to Exit 5 driving up to 75 miles per hour.  I then pulled over in the Riverside Shopping Center, and I checked the error codes, and I still got error 44, and I then cleared them.   I then return back to Exit 3 at the regular speed limit.  I drove through downtown and up Mason Street, and I went back by the West Putnam Avenue Shell station, and I filled up the tank to the second shut off point for $6.02 at $3.659 a gallon for premium self service gasoline or 1.646 gallons for 19.7 miles driving since earlier this morning, for 11.97 miles per gallon since I fixed the MAP sensor vacuum leak and used the Solder-It.   That is $.3056 or 30.5 cents a mile.   The odometer was at 114,248.8 miles.   I then returned home, and I chatted with a friend.   I then drove over to Hank May's Goodyear service and tire center in Port Chester, New York, and I arrived at their opening time at 7 A.M..  They gave me an estimate of about $140 to replace the manifold oxygen sensor, and I had them go to work on the car.   They said it would be ready about 9:30 A.M..   I took a walk over and around the Port Chester, New York shopping center, and I went to www.kohls.com , which is opened early, and I bought two pairs of Sonoma Life Style Extra large sleep ware boxer leisure shorts for half price for $8 each, 100% cotton with one in blue plaid, and one in blue floral patter, and I also bought a Kitchen Aid Soft handle Soap Dispensing Sponge Brush for $7.99 and a package of two refills for $3.99 and $1.42 tax for $29.40 total.   I then walked back to Hank May Good Years, and about 9 A.M. the car was finished.   I paid $47.56 for the Oxygen Sensor part and $84 for the labor and $9.70 tax for $141.26 total.   They showed me the old part, and it had a large amount of carbon built up upon it, and they told me there was a large amount of carbon buildup in the manifold.   Still the "Check Engine Soon" light no longer comes on.   The old part did not look like it had been replaced in quite a long time, and it is suppose to be replaced every 25,000 miles.  I did not keep the old part.   I then returned home.  I cleared the error codes again.   I chatted with a relative.   I then went for another test drive.   I drove downtown to the senior and arts center, and I checked the error codes, and I still get a 44 error code, but the "Check Engine Soon" light no longer comes on.    The car is running at top performance, but I am more worried about the miles per gallon.   I met up with a morning regular, and I gave him a ride to the drive up teller at the Wachovia Bank on Lafayette Place, and then we drove down Greenwich Avenue to the bottom of Steamboat Road and then I dropped the morning walker off at his residence.  I then went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street.   I clear the error codes again.  I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon gasoline station, and I bought $7 of self service premium unleaded gasoline at $3.699 a gallon for $1.893 gallons or 11.6 miles since the Shell Station, but at the Exxon station where I fill up, it is slopped down hill slightly, so the car takes more gas, and I filled it up to the third shut off.   The odometer reads 114,261.2 miles.   Now I have a full tank with the repairs made, so after another week of local driving where I generally average only 13 miles an hour in town in stop and go traffic, I should know what sort of improved local mileage per gallon I am getting with the most recent repairs.   The car is running just fine.  I cleaned the outside car windows at the Exxon station.  I returned home, and I checked the codes again, and there is still an error 44 code that I can live with.   I chatted with a neighbor, and I told the neighbor what I had done in the past day.   I chatted with a relative twice.   I put on one of the pair of leisure shorts.   I filled up the Kitchen Aid dishwashing scrubber with liquid detergent.   It is much more usable than the ones from the Stop and Shop, who head occasionally falls off.  CIO

Note:<888> 06/02/07 Saturday 3:20 A.M.:  I have 35 minutes to go on the dry cycle.   Earlier this week, I moved my summer shirts to the center left of the bedroom closet, and I moved the winter shirts to the far left of the bedroom closet.   I got two cans of Soldier It in the order.  On the 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon, its air cleaner opens up from the front not the top, but I could use a medium size funnel with tube with the air filter removed to pour the other can of Solderit through the carburetor which is an even better emissions system and fuel injection cleaning procedure.   I would have to do it in the daytime, when I could see what I was doing, and see if I have a funnel and tube or hose that match up.   CIO  

Note:<888> 06/02/07 Saturday 2:45 A.M.:   I went out after the last message.   The "Check Engine Soon" light came on a bit after driving.   I stopped by the West Putnam Avenue Shell Station, and I put $5.02 of Self Service Premium Unleaded gasoline in at $3.659 a gallon for 1.373 gallons , and I filled it up a little bit fuller after the second automatic cut off, and I had only driven 7 miles since last night.   I now have a full tank to measure if I am getting better gasoline mileage after repairing the "MAP" vacuum line.    I am suppose to use up most of the tank of gasoline with the Soldier It Catalytic Converter cleaner in the tank.   My odometer read 114,229 miles.   I next drove downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   CONTACT CARRIAGE HOUSE MOTORS Greenwich Ct. has a vintage grey with red leather interior Gull Wing Mercedes in their showroom.  Greenwich Concours d ' Elegance is this weekend.   They are also having a memorial today at the Greenwich Post Office to Colonel David Hackworth.    I was told this week, the new store going in at the old Pier One Imports store location just south of Saks Fifth Avenue is Zara - Spring Summer 2007 , so there will be another upscale clothing store.   After I completed my walk, I returned home.  The "Check Engine Soon" light came on and went off on the way home, so maybe it is gradually fixing itself with the "MAP" sensor vacuum line repair and the Solderit Catalytic Converter Cleaner.   I am doing two loads of laundry, and I am just about ready to start the dry cycle.   I put clean linens on the bed.   CIO          

Note:<888> 06/01/07 Friday 10:45 P.M.:    I went outside after the last message, and I used a light to look at the engine compartment of the Buick wagon.  According to Error Code 33 and 34, I needed to check the vacuum line to the (MAP).   I checked the plastic vacuum line from the (MAP) to the carburetor.  Sure enough, behind the carburetor it was broken, but still connected.   The plastic vacuum line was about 3/16th inch in diameter, so I cut it in half at the break, and I spliced it together with a piece of rubber hose 2.5 inches long with the same inside diameter as the plastic vacuum line.   The engine dies with the line opened.   The engine runs even more smoothly.   I pulled the ECM fuse for 10 seconds to erase the Engine errors codes, and then I ran the engine, and the Check Engine light did not come on again.   I then checked for any error codes, and I now only get,

Error Code 44 Lean exhaust Check the  wiring and connectors  from the oxygen sensor to the PCM. Check the PCM ground terminal, Check the fuel pressure (Chapter 4). Replace the oxygen sensor.

More than likely that means I need to replace the Oxygen Sensor, which I have mentioned earlier.  Thus the Buick wagon should be running even better, and in a few days, I will know if I am getting better gasoline mileage with the "MAP" vacuum line repaired.

I chatted with a relative twice.   I will water the plants and empty the garbage and throw out the old periodical literature.   I will then eat the same dinner as the last five nights.   I will then shut down the primary Vista Computer, and I will shower and clean up, and I will go out for a test drive and a walk.  A relative is going to lend me the money to pay off my current Chase Visa Credit Card debt.   CIO

The Haynes Mechanics manual says that Excessive Fuel Consumption is caused by:

1. Dirty or clogged air filter element, the air filter is fairly new

2. Incorrect ignition timing, the car was tuned up 1300 miles ago

3.  Incorrect idle speed, the car was tuned up 1300 miles ago

4. Low tire pressure or incorrect tire size

5. Fuel leakage, Check all connections, lines, and components in the fuel system

6. Dirty or clogged fuel injectors

7. Malfunction in the emissions or engine control systems

I examined the Oxygen sensor, and its electrical connections needs to be disconnected from underneath the car, so I can not replace it myself.   Also since it is installed in the exhaust manifold, it might be hard to remove except for by an experience mechanic.

I chatted with a relative.   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana and honey, a toasted English muffins with olive oil, a 1/3rd mixture of orange juice with a 1/3rd mixture of grape juice and with a 1/3rd mixture of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice with a half teaspoon of Certo, and coffee along with vitamins and supplements.  I washed the breakfast dishes.   I went back to bed from about  5 P.M. to 8 P.M..   CIO
