Note: <888> 06/24/12 Sunday 2:55 P.M.  The Cable Modem quit again.  I called them up again.  They said they showed a spotty signal into the cable modem.  I found out that there was a two way coaxial splitter coming off the coaxial cable from the bunk room bedroom wall into the coaxial two way splitter.  I tightened the connections with a pipe wrench to make them tighter.  Right now it seems to be working fine.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/15/12 Friday 4:55 P.M.  I chatted with my relatives.  I put the laundry in the dryer.  I drove over with a relative to the Kennebunk beach.  We walked out to the breakwater.  We sat at the beach for about a half hour enjoying the view at low tide.  We returned back to my relatives’ house.  My relative lost a bracelet at the beach, so we returned to where we were sitting at the Kennebunk beach.  We found the bracelet.  We returned to my relatives’ house.  We walked around the house viewing the gardens.  I still have to put the third bag of brown mulch underneath the front bedroom window.  I put away my laundry.  It is not very busy in downtown Kennebunkport.  I guess either with the higher price of fuel people are not showing up here.  However, it could possibly be because the northern schools are still not out of session.  Still Kennebunkport appears to be perfectly maintained for anyone whom can afford to drive up north and show up in this POSH resort.  They have a number of new places downtown, since I was last here in September 2010.  Of course it is busier around here during rush hour traffic like elsewhere.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/15/12 Friday 2:35 P.M.   After watching television until 10:30 P.M. last night.  I tested the automatic light shut off sensors on the electric garage door again.  I moved the one on the lower south side slightly, so it aligned better with the other light sensor on the north side, so now the electric garage door light sensors at the ground level now work to stop the electric garage door from closing on an individual.  I then went to bed.  I woke up at 9:30 A.M..  The yard man was cutting the grass.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with splenda and milk and sliced banana and blue berries, a blue berry muffin, a cup of coffee with splenda and half and half and a glass of watered down orange juice and vitamins and supplements.  I installed www.ccleaner.com and the XP updates on the HP Netbook that a relative left here in the kitchen.  I surfed the internet with it while waiting for a ant exterminator to arrive who has not arrived yet.  I put in eight Jobe’s fruit tree spikes in around the flowering plum tree in front of the house.  I spaced them evenly around the edge of the tree line.  I cleaned the dryer vent wire cover underneath the kitchen window.  I put a 2 cubic foot bag of brown mulch in the flower box in the backyard and one bag in around the rose bushes at the front porch.  A relative had fertilized both flower beds first before mulching them.  We then watered them along with the flowers on the deck.  I used the electric leaf blower to clean the garage floor and the driveway and the front sidewalk.  I put 1/4^th of a quart of Citgo 10-30W motor oil in the Audi to top up the oil.  I reheated and ate the remaining sesame chicken and rice which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of Nestea low calorie iced tea.  I emptied the dishwasher.  I emptied the downstairs dehumidifiers.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I started a load of laundry.  I am supposed to go for a drive with a relative in a short spell.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/14/12 Thursday 9:15 P.M.  I woke up at 6 P.M..  We watched ABC Evening news and ate cheese dips and crackers, and I also had watered down orange juice.  For dinner, we had T-Bone steaks cooked on the outside gas grill along with baked sweet potato with butter and steamed broccoli crowns with butter, and I also had a glass of watered down orange juice.  We cleaned up the kitchen.  We went for a drive in the Audi along the Kennebunkport waterfront as far as Walker’s Point.  We then drove through downtown Kennebunkport and along the beach in Kennebunk.  I stood out briefly along the beach road looking at the view.  As of June 15, 2012, one needs Kennebunk beach permits to park along the beach road from 6 A.M. to 11 P.M..  In the past, one could park there without a permit in the evening.  We then returned to my relatives’ house.  I almost closed the electric door on my relatives when they were walking into the garage, because I had the garage door opener in my pocket, when I sat down back in the Audi, and it activated it to close it, but I caught it in time to keep them from being hit by the electric garage door.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/14/12 Thursday 4:35 P.M.  After the last note, I watched some television including a program about storage locker auctions.  I went to bed at 10 P.M., and I woke up at 10 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with splenda and milk and sliced banana and blue berries, a blue berry muffin, a cup of coffee with splenda and half and half and a glass of watered down orange juice and vitamins and supplements.  I chatted with CVS in Greenwich, Connecticut, and I cannot refill my Connecticut Medicaid prescriptions in Maine, since Maine does not accept Connecticut Medicaid for prescriptions.  I don’t know if they would cover my other medical needs should the need arrive.  I need some Lipitor, but a relative has some extra that they can give me.  Before going to bed last night, I saw flashing lights, but I did not feel dizzy.  Possibly I stood up too fast after watching television.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out with relatives, and we went by the Kennebunkport town hall and got a parking permit for Goose Rocks beach.  We then went by the Kennebunkport post office.  We then sat out at the Kennebunk beach, and I walked with a relative out to the breakwater.  We then returned back to my relatives’ house.  I vacuumed out my relative’s car.  I then washed my Audi with Turtle Wax car wash.  I then dried it off.  I then put my Audi in garage, and I waxed it with DuPont www.finaldetail.com car wax.  I used the head light restoring system to compound the head light lens and then wax them.  I vacuumed the Audi.  I cleaned the inside windows with window cleaner.  I dusted off the dashboard and instrument panel.  I put a new Evergreen Christmas Tree scent card hanging from the driver’s side rear seat window hook.  The car looks like a new car.  Of course the passenger side front electric window does not work, but since I never open the windows that does not matter.  If Audi or other mechanic could get the $5 plastic part to repair it, it would take about two hours of labor to fix the window which would be close to $400.  There might be cheaper mechanics up here, but I am not sure if they could get the plastic part.  There is also a six inch long scratch on the passenger side front door which was caused by a snow brush a year and a half ago.  I ate a ham and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise on a New York Everything bagel with potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Nestea low calorie ice tea.  I will now rest a bit.

We then took I-95 south for a dollar toll from Scarborough, Maine to Biddeford, Maine, and we drove east to U.S.1 South, and we took U.S. 9 south into Kennebunkport, Maine. We unpacked the car.  I left the bags of brown mulch on the side of the driveway.  They are for the flower box in the rear yard of the house.  I hung up the front porch flower pots, since they had enough rain.  At www.samsclub.com we bought a two pound container of sesame chicken for $11 which we will have for dinner.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/07/12 Thursday 12:10 P.M.  Of course the other dog at the apartment in Manhattan was a Doberman Pincher that had been left by my roommate's son.  When I walked the dogs, there was no lease law back then in Manhattan, so the Doberman Pincher would disappear for a half hour to an hour before returning.  When I called the Doberman which was named "Dobbie" in the park, I would be walking through the parks yelling "Dobbie".  Primarily I walked the dogs in Riverside Park and occasionally in Central Park and around Columbus Avenue on the West Side.

My family has known members of the www.forbes.com family since moving to Connecticut in 1962, so the Riverside Park was near the Central Park boat basin where the Forbes kept their boat "The Highlander", and also they would occasionally visit the Indian Harbor Yacht Club and Kennebunkport, Maine, and also they would moor it in the winter at the Pier 66 Marina in Fort Lauderdale.  Also the Winfield Scott historical town house is across the street on West 13th street from the Forbes building on Fifth Avenue and 13th street.  Thus when I used to visit the Greenwich Village neighborhood, I would see a lot of the Forbes' Manhattan neighbors.  I was also their house guest in Far Hills, New Jersey back in 1974 as I recall.  Another friend's grandfather lived nearby in Gladstone, New Jersey which I visited around 1973.  Back around 1964, I was on the Highlander up West Point during a foot ball game  Our neighbors on Round Hill Road would frequently entertain Bruce Forbes and his wife Shorty, so we got to know them.  The publisher of Forbes also used to live on Glenville Road here in Greenwich.  Thus I could be one of the Forbes' wharf rats.  I don't ever recall seeing the Highlander in Nantucket, just the Amway.  I do know other distant members of the Forbes family from Boston own one of the Elizabeth Islands.  Of course other than Steve Forbes who is frequently on Fox Business, I don't know what the other member of the family look like anymore.  The Forbes told me they own the www.honda.com franchise for New Jersey.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/07/12 Thursday 11:05 A.M.  I once read a report that people from California and out west, when they drive back east to Connecticut during the warmer months like camping out at the State of Connecticut camp ground on Route 7 north of Danbury, Connecticut.  However, in the report, it said they frequently run into bears.  New York City when I lived there until February 1982 had a white polar bear in the Central Park Children's Zoo.  The Polar Bear liked looking at the White German Shepard dog that I used to walk in Manhattan.  Since the owner's of the White Shepard was a friend who went to work for China Airlines, and left it with her mother who was the head of word processing for Cyrus Vance's law firm after he was secretary of state, I technically could be a retired state department dog walker.  However, I do not have the time to walk a dog six times a day or the money to maintain a dog.  The white Shepard was named "Silver" and I was always calling the dog "Silver" in the various parks I walked the dog at, and at the time the price of the commodity silver was sky rocketing.  If one makes financial decisions by second sight, we could be heading for a "Bear Market".  CIO

I have never been able to afford to visit the United Kingdom.  However, when I used Fred Von Mierers' apartment in Manhattan from October 1973 to February 1975, it was a couple of blocks away from the British consulate, so I saw a few British people in the neighborhood.  On July 5, 1976, I saw Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip tour Bloomingdales department store during the Bicentennial.  The only Commonwealth Countries I have visited are Canada, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Tobago, and I changed planes in Trinidad and Barbados, so my British Commonwealth experience is limited.  However, my father Louis Dale Scott helped run manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom, and his last job was as a project manager building an oil refinery in another Commonwealth Country in Nigeria.  CIO
