Back in the 1960s during the Baby Boom Generation teenage years, when the local teenagers were more active around our waterfront in Greenwich, Connecticut, the local surfer types use to go to http://narragansettri.com/beach.htm to surf the Atlantic Ocean.  Obviously Long Island Sound does not have much surf.  I also met a few Scottish life guards on Jones Beach, when I visited in the early 1980s.  Also the south shore of www.nantucket.net which has a dangerous rip tide use to have a few surfers.  One of the first times I went to Nantucket around 1970, I went with a friend from British Airways who had lived in Hawaii and Chile, so he was an excellent surfer at Surfside Beach.  There is also a youth hostile at Surfside Beach and another youth hostile on Martha's Vineyard, both of which I have visited.  There is also the Poors House in Bourne on Cape Cod on the bay which is owned by the Episcopal Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and it is not named after impoverished people, but the Standard and Poors people.  The http://churchofthemessiahwoodshole.org/ in Woods Hole, Massachusetts can refer people there.  There is also a YMCA in Portland, Maine near the harbor.  Also in Kennebunk, Maine near the waterfront there is the http://www.franciscanguesthouse.com/ near http://www.kennebunkportbeachwebcam.com/ which needs local parking permits this time of year, but one could easily walk from the guest house.  Obviously come August 1, 2014, a lot of monthly vacation renters take off on their adventures while the July renters depart.  CIO

<888> 07/26/14 Saturday  2:05 A.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I sat outside briefly.  A flat bed truck was off loading a tan imported car in the parking lot.  I guess somebody broke down or something else.  I picked up the mail.  The order with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=93612200937655290340001096 on the order for  Deep Royal Blue color in XXXL for $12.47 with free shipping http://www.amazon.com/Hanes-ComfortBlend-Fleece-Pant-3XL-Deep/dp/B0025YVBPC/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1405841655&sr=1-1&keywords=xxxl+sweatpants arrived.  They fit just fine.  They are about length 32 inches inseam.  I hung them on the hook on the right side of the bedroom entrance.  I also put out a new bath towel in the bathroom for regular use.  I put the old clean one in the hallway closet.  When I said earlier Chinese Con Artists had called me up this afternoon.  What happens is every two to three months, somebody with an Asian Accent supposedly from New Mexico calls up and says Windows on my computer is broken, and they can fix it.  They then have you go to a web site, where they can take over your computer.  They then install a startup feature that puts the computer in an endless reboot on startup.  One fixes it by doing a Safe Boot, and running "msconfig" and unselecting the startup endless reboot feature.

<888> 07/23/14 Wednesday 6:55 A.M.  I went downtown after the last note.   I went by the www.chase.com bank ATM at 19 West Putnam Avenue.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  Nobody was down there.  It looks perfectly normal down there.  The construction of the condos down there seems to be preceding along.  I then returned back to downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  In the early morning hours in the lower northeast sky, I could see a planet that might be Saturn, since it has rings around it.  I stopped by the Chase Bank ATM just north of Saks Fifth Avenue.  There is a new store with Polo gear just south of CVS called "Casablanca".  It looks to be a men's shop.  Just north of CVS, there is a vacant shop.  Also the former sight of Restoration Hardware Store at East Elm Street and Greenwich Avenue on the southeast corner is for rent.  The light post on the west side at the top of Greenwich Avenue is still tilted as is one of the street lights in front of the senior and the arts center.  After my walk, I returned home.  There was the usual fleet of sanitation trucks out and about.  CIO

On cold nights in the winter, before I got into personal computer activity 24 years ago, I would occasionally go to a pub in White Plains, New York and not drink and try to make a computer connection, but I never met any computer people.  One person gave a friend of mine, the Seattle, Washington chamber of commerce video tape, and suddenly the people out there started to get richer.  Most of the people there seemed to be all night medical people, hospitality people, and a few people from www.usatoday.com and a black beret from Greenwich that I have never seen in Greenwich.  I did meet one person from Minnesota whose family owned a gourmet meat company, but he was just surviving, and I met him also when I first came off www.nantucket.net thirty years ago.  He did a gourmet cooking show in Key West and Nantucket and worked at the Chart House in Irvington, New York, and I tracked him down last summer at a fund raiser with Bill Clinton in the Hampton, so maybe he finally got ahead.  The last time I actually saw him, he was hanging out with somebody that was six foot eight inches tall from Nicaragua that worked for www.coned.com , so I did not worry about his security.  He has visited me several times in my old apartment setup, before I set up the office environment, and he thought my apartment decoration was very Rockefeller style.  He had seen the Rockefeller mansion in North Tarrytown, since the Chart House in Irvington, New York used to do catering there.   The last I knew about the individual, he told me he was going to dental school at www.columbia.edu , so I guess being around the faster New York City crowd, he made new friends.  Both he and his roommate had lived in London and Germany, so they spoke German.  I guess the democrats in Westchester County do not like the Republicans in Fairfield County.  Still, when one never hears from anyone, I guess nobody is interested in personal computers excepts for the money they make off the stocks.  CIO 

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 10:30 P.M.   My German American friends out on Long Island are surviving by selling Spanish wine.  Back in 1979, when I lived for a while in Port Washington, Long Island; all of the food at the nearby A&P looked to be over two weeks old.  However cigarettes were only about $1.29 a pack and gasoline was only 59 cents a gallon, and we mostly just ate tomato sauce and spaghetti noodles.  The German Americans that I knew out on Long Island, never ate too much food, but the managed to keep busy.  Another friend out there is only six feet tall and about 155 pounds, but he works for the State of New York, so he travels a lot, and manages to get by.  His brothers are also thin, so they like to maintain the European look that is common in Manhattan.  I also have about four one pound Plumrose canned hams and about eight quart jars of tomato sauce and about 10 boxes of spaghetti and linguine noodles and plenty of oatmeal.  Thus if I stay home and take the time to cook instead of wasting my time exercise walking around on Greenwich Avenue, I will do better eating balanced meals.  There are some very fat people in Greenwich, but one never sees them downtown particularly walking around.  The sedentary rich have always lived here paying taxes and eating to their heart's content.  CIO

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 10:05 P.M.   The two On-Cor beef entrees in the freezer are about two months old.  I have about four other entrees the same age with a little bit of beef in them.  I also have two frozen pizzas and some six month old breaded fish filets.  The other beef I mentioned is about six months to a year old.  I also have cans of soup, Chef Boyardee, and about six cans of Alaska salmon which is about two years old.  I also have a few cans of tuna and crab meat about six months old.  Thus although all of my EBT food stamps are gone for the month, I probably will not starve, but the frozen and canned food is not that fresh.  I also have two bags of the Birds Eye sautéed chicken and vegetable meals. http://scott-mike.com/inventory.htm .  In the old days, locals with Connecticut fishing licenses could fish off the pier on Steamboat Road, but there is now no parking allowed down there after sunset.  A few locals probably still fish down there and park elsewhere.  There used to a lot of Hispanic gardeners down there fishing at night keeping an eye on the properties in Belle Haven, where they worked in the daytime.  So much has changed in this area, and with the higher prices of fuel, it is difficult to get around to see what is going on versus what the New York media harps about.  Also neither the A&P and the Stop and Shop have Thomas' English muffins on sale this week, so they are $4.29 a six pack, and the Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.69 a six pack are no longer avaiable.  One could how buy a loaf of Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread for $4 and eat toast which is probably more substance than an English muffin.  CIO

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 9:25 P.M.  I chatted with a neighbor.  It was pointed out to me that the refrigerator in the downstairs hallway had been stored in the fire door exit of two apartment by the entrance, so it was moved out into the hallway.  Also in the quiet reading room, they have furniture blocking the fire door exits from the two adjacent apartments.  I threw out the garbage.  I picked up the mail.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Garner used to advertise www.polaroid.com .  When I was out in Laguna Beach on a few trips between 1978 and 1980, I noticed there was a trailer park on the beach like in the Rockford files in between Laguna Beach and Newport Beach.  It was on the ocean side of the Irvine ranch.  I have about six hamburgers and two rib eye steaks and a eye round roast and two frozen meat entrees in the freezer along with about six cans of Denty Moore on the shelf, but I do not eat much red meat or beef, since I am on the generic version of Lipitor cholesterol medication to lower my cholesterol.  However, when I eat beef, I have more energy.  The owner of Trader Joes died recently http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/world/article/German-supermarket-tycoon-Albrecht-dead-at-94-5635245.php .  CIO     

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 8:05 P.M.  A local friend here from Bedford, New York still hunts and eats deer meat.  I know in a news story about 10 years ago, when they were investigating a serial killer in Norwich, Vermont near www.dartmouth.edu , they arrested an individual for having a cooking pot in the trunk of his car with blood, but it turned out to be moose stew, so people up north are allowed to eat moose.  I saw on a cooking show this past winter from Montreal, Quebec, Canada two Canadian gourmet chefs were ice fishing in a cabin on a frozen river eating a gourmet meal of beaver stew.   Thus as one goes further north, they do not always eat beef.  The fisher cat that was in the back of my relatives' house in Kennebunkport, Maine apparently eat cats, porcupines, and raccoons.  I will now shower and clean up.  There is no point going downtown, since with all of the movers and shakers gone away on vacation, there is hardly anyone left downtown anymore.  They usually return by the last week of August.  I guess the Chinese do not want to sell any bargains on the internet, because I have not found any recently.  Besides normal routine, I can not afford to buy anything.  Also I saw on another cooking show, the Saudi Arabians eat camel's meat.  At www.cvs.com this week, the Air Wick automatic air fresheners http://www.airwick.us/automatic-sprays-freshmatic-ultra-automatic-spray.php  are $5 as are the refill scnet cans are $5 down from $8, if one wants their place to smell better.  At 18 minute intervals the scent cans usually last two months.  Asians think people of European back ground stink, so if one is dealing with Asians, it is good to use scent.  I lived next door to a couple from Asia, and all they eat is large quantities of bananas and oranges.  CIO

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 4:55 P.M.  I had a telephone number from a relative about noon.  I had a telephone call about 2:45 P.M. from somebody with a deep voice looking for a Michael Scott with a social security number with the same last four numbers as me, but with one number different.  The caller said the Michael Scott had lived at 28 Grand Street, but did not say where.  I searched Google for Michael Scott 28 Grand Street, and I came up with a list of Connecticut State Marshals for a Michael Scott that lives in Hartford or Middletown.   Thus they probably are looking for another Michael Scott.  I chatted with three law enforcement agencies about the matter, a friend, and a relative.  The caller ID on my telephone said the call came from Atlanta, and when I called the number there is voice mail for a Russ Collin and Associates for a Kenneth Lawson 1-404-537-3494.   I had a hard time falling back asleep, so I guess I am awake for the evening.  CIO

Well, not much happening out in the remote wilderness of greater southwestern Connecticut in the sticks compared to the concrete and cement people of Manhattan.  I guess besides watching New York media, we do not really have anything in common with the nearby city dwellers.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  Yesterday morning, before going to bed, I ate 8 ounces of Dannon low fat yogurt.   I will do the same this morning, and then I will go to bed.  CIO

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 5:00 A.M.  I ate six ounces of mixed nuts.

I used https://www.cheapvoip.com and the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833617008&cm_re=Opitalk-_-33-617-008-_-Product to do a test call to http://riyadh.usembassy.gov/ at 011-966-11-488-3800 for 6 cents a minute, and the call went through clear as a bell.  I also tried calling http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/saudi-arabia/hilton-suites-makkah-MAKSUHI/index.html , but the Hilton Hotels in Saudi Arabia have changed their telephone numbers from their web pages to a more complicated number with lots of zeros that one has to copy down, if one can follow the number they give you.   Also I emailed both sites about my viewpoint.  CIO    

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 12:55 A.M.  I ordered http://www.amazon.com/Premier-100mm-Light-Cigarette-Tubes/dp/B0024QAOCC for $37.20 with free shipping and $2.36 tax for $39.56 total.  CIO

<888> 07/21/14 Monday 12:45 A.M.  I ate a roasted chicken leg and thigh and two one quarter inch thick slices of white breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, 12 ounces of mashed potatoes with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Truvia sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.   CIO 

<888> 07/20/14 Sunday 11:20 P.M.  I chatted with a friend.  I went by the A&P Fresh.  I bought a 64 ounce Welch grape juice for $3.99, a 64 ounce Ocean Spray cranberry juice for $4.29, a 59 ounce Minute Maid orange juice with calcium for $3.49, two 9 ounce hot pockets with five cheese for $1.88 each, Roma plum tomatoes for $1.99 a pound for $1.83, a head of Foxy iceberg lettuce for $1.99, and bananas for .79 a pound for .96 for $20.31 total.  I was told that the A&P at the Port Chester shopping center is now a Whole Foods.  Also the new store on West Putnam Avenue being built near the Valley Road turn off is going to be a Trader Joe's.   I next went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue.  I bought two 64 ounce Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice for $3 each and four 14 ounce Ajax orange liquid dishwashing detergent for .88 each and .22 tax for $9.74.  I then sat for a while on a very slow night downtown.  I did not walk Greenwich Avenue, because there was hardly anyone around on a nice evening.  It is just as well, because when I got back to 71 Vinci rive, a neighbor had set off the fire alarm by burning a potato.  The neighbor's cell phone did not work, so I called 911 on my wireless telephone which gives the Port Chester Police station, and they transferred me to the Greenwich Police station.  I reported the non emergency fire alarm, and they said they would send over the fire department to air out the apartment and reset the fire alarm.  The neighbor went outside to wait for the fire department.  I also told the neighbor, he had left his parking lights on his car.  I then put away my groceries, and about 15 minutes the fire alarm went off.  CIO

<888> 07/20/14 Sunday 2:20 A.M.   I have lived on and off in Greenwich, Connecticut for 52 years, since 1962.  Living out in the remote wilderness of Greenwich, Connecticut near Armonk, New York where www.ibm.com has its world headquarters, I find I get a lot more computer work done without the distractions of nearby Manhattan, which probably does have some computer jobs available, but at age 64 and not knowing software programming except HTML and long forgotten COBOL, I do not think anyone would be interested in me compared to all of the young Turks out there whom know software code backwards and forwards.  Since nobody has approached me about working with personal computers and the internet in 24 years I have pursued the activity, I guess a lot of the other computer people around here are more expert than my limited skills.

I ate a roasted chicken leg and thigh and two one quarter inch thick slices of white breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, 12 ounces of mashed potatoes with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Truvia sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.   CIO  

<888> 07/20/14 Sunday 12:45 A.M.  I made 151 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching series 9 episode 2 of "Poirot".  I ate two ounces of mixed nuts.  CIO

!!!!!! <888> 07/19/14 Saturday 5:30 A.M.  Problem solved.  The McAfee Virtual Technician gave me a tech number to call in India.  They told me to under the McAfee Firewall Settings under "My Network Connections" to add the IP address of the computer that I wanted to FTP from to the the FIC server with the McAfee Internet Security Suite.  To get the IP address from the computer that one wants to tranfer from on one's network, one has to type from a Command Prompt Window "ipconfig" and look at the IPv4 IP address.  CIO

<888> 07/19/14 Saturday 4:25 A.M.  On the FTP problem on the FIC server with the latest McAfee Internet Security Suite, I found this link https://community.mcafee.com/message/269233 , and it says to try http://mvt.mcafee.com/ which I am running now on the FIC server.  It also mentions that the FTP client should have full permission in the Firewall, but I am not sure how to do that.  CIO 

<888> 07/19/14 Saturday 3:35 A.M.  I have the Windows Updates and the McAfee Internet Security Suite installed on the FIC server, and it works just fine, but I still can not FTP from the primary work computer on the network back into the FIC server, which is how I post my notes.  However, there is an easy work around.  Since the FTP server is on my right hand side of the primary work computer chair, I can just turn on and off the McAfee firewall on the FIC server very quickly, whenever I need to transfer files.  The Tripp-Lite program on the FIC server says I have a low battery, but it is fully charged and at 50 whatever that means.  I had a no person telephone call on my Verizon line at 3 A.M..  CIO 

<888> 07/19/14 Saturday 1:40 A.M.  I need to order two sets of these http://www.batterysharks.com/Tripp-Lite-SMART700SER-p/smart700ser_ups6-12_x2.htm?gclid=CKa5uJ7S0L8CFQMT7AodmQEADg for my two Tripp Lite Smart700SER UPS devices, but at the moment, there is no rush, since I do not have many power failures.  However, the current batteries are pretty much gone.  I paid $50 each with free shipping my two units refurbished, but they now cost $221.98 plus shipping refurbished http://www.pacificgeek.com/product.asp?ID=87123 .  I bought them about six years ago.  CIO  

<888> 07/19/14 Saturday 1:20 A.M.  I have all the spare computer parts I need http://scott-mike.com/computer.htm .  I am installing the Windows Updates on the FIC Vista server.  I will then install www.firefox.com which one needs to have on it in order to install the Optimum McAfee free Internet Security Suite, since the Optimum web site does not work with Internet Explorer 8.  Thus older XP users would also have to install Firefox or Chrome web browsers, since XP only supports Internet Explorer 8.  The free McAfee Internet Security Suite from Optimum supports enabling FTP in the Firewall options, so I will be able to transfer files through the network.  I will not back up the FIC server, since it is not a new install.  I have little or no traffic on my three servers, but I maintain them; since that is part of what I have done for the last 24 years.  I guess the younger generation in the cloud does not have those problems.  Since the FIC server is a slower computer, it takes a while for the system maintenance.  It runs Vista which for old timers, if you have forgotten takes 15 minutes to boot up, every time one has to reboot it.  Internet Explorer 9 does work on Vista.  CIO 

<888> 07/19/14 Saturday 12:15 A.M.  I ate a five 3/8th inch thick slices of white roasted chicken breast meat with Frank's hot sauce on it, 12 ounces of mashed potatoes with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance Lite Spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Truvia sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.   CIO

<888> 07/18/14 Friday 12:10 A.M.  I ate a roasted chicken leg and thigh and two one quarter inch thick slices of white breast meat, 12 ounces of cheese, chives, and bacon mashed potatoes with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Truvia sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.   CIO

<888> 07/14/14 Monday 1:25 A.M.  Before I moved to my current apartment in Greenwich Public Housing 25 years ago, I lived for 4.5 years at 700 Steamboat Road.  At that location, I could walk out of my apartment over to the pier on Steamboat Road and enjoy the view of Long Island Sound and see if any other neighbors were around.  Alas, in the solitude of Byram at my current address, I do not see many of my other neighbors except a few dog walkers.  I guess people are more focused on Greenwich Avenue, since it has a certain panache which the public housing neighborhood does not have.  However, Byram also has waterfront property which can be very expensive, and Guy De Rothschild http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Rothschild  once lived on Byram Shore Road in this area.   CIO

<888> 07/08/14 Tuesday 7:00 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I played an Ace's High scratch card at Zen Stationary, but I lost.  I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought a 25 foot black telephone handset cable for $6.99 and .44 tax for $7.43 total.  They have SATCO Red Compact Florescent light bulbs there for $10.99, but a similar bulb at www.homedepot.com is only $4.99.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought an Air Wick automatic scent machine for $7.99 less a $2 off CVS coupon and .38 tax for $6.37 total.  I sat out for a while in the hot weather after my walk.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with one of the reference librarians about the price of tea in China.  I used the bathroom there.  I then went by the Stop and Shop and I bought bananas for .69 a pound for $1.41, two Birds Eye 28 ounce fettuccini Alfredo dinners for $3 each, and two Birds Eye 28 ounce frozen Stir Fry dinners for $3 each, and a 32 ounce Dannon low fat vanilla yogurt for $3.19 for $16.60 total.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail.  I put away my groceries.  I put the Air Wick machine underneath the tea table in the bathroom to have available for later use.  I put the new 25 foot RCA black handset cable on the 4 line Panasonic telephone, and I moved the older one to the bathroom Princess telephone.  I took the white one off of it, and I stored it on the lower drawer on the right side of the bed.  CIO

<888> 07/08/14 Tuesday 2:30 P.M.  I will now shower and clean up.  I will then go downtown to Greenwich Avenue to see if any of my Deja Vue friends are around.

<888> 07/07/14 Monday 10:15 P.M.  I ate four thin slices of deli ham and two slices of Swiss cheese and two ounces of mixed nuts.  I chatted with a relative.  I watched about the first 20 minutes of series 7 episode 1 of "Poirot".  Either the internet is slow, or the wireless that feeds the living room television Roku stick is being used by other people.  I will try to watch the rest of it shortly off the bedroom television setup which does not use wireless on its Roku device.  I will shut down the primary work computer.  I will then eat eight ounces of Dannon yogurt.  I will then either watch the rest of "Poirot" or go to bed.  CIO

<888> 07/07/14 Monday 3:50 P.M.  I put the Air Wick refills underneath the tea table in the bathroom.  If one wants a Toto toilet without the hot water seat, one can order it here for $189 TOTO CST744S Drake Toilet | Homeclick.  Of course, one would need a plumber to install it.  I figure that the whole British Royal family are up at http://www.balmoralcastle.com/ , so the Scottish get a little bit more attention this time of year, but I don't think they are allowed to ship this http://www.balmoralcastle.com/acatalog/Whisky-Collection.html to the United States yet.  Tea Toddlers on this side of the Pond are not very exciting, but I still know a few people whom are known to enjoy alcohol refreshment, but since I quit drinking alcohol about 20 years ago, when I started investing in computers and the internet, they have all pretty much dropped me.  More than likely somebody in the United Kingdom is probably still making money off distilled spirits, if you get my drift.  CIO

<888> 07/07/14 Monday 3:00 P.M.  I added some telephone numbers to the Panasonic 4 line telephone directory, so I now have 50 numbers on it.  For calling outside the country to England on Optimum Voice or the OpiTalk device, one dials 011 and then 44, but if the next number begins with a 0, one does not dial that.  In my limited observations around the world, I saw Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip at Bloomingdales Department Store on July 5, 1976.  Sometime between 1980 and 1982, I saw Prince Charles make an entrance at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.  Also when I was at Albertville, France in February 1992 for the Winter Olympics, a friend showed up at a bed and breakfast for breakfast in Courcheval, France, and the Kings of Norway, Sweden, and Belgium and Princess Anne were also having breakfast there.  If at any other time, I bumped into them, I was not made away of the fact.  CIO 

<888> 07/07/14 Monday 1:25 P.M.  I mailed a pair of woman's panties to a relative with two Forever stamps.  They got mixed up in my laundry from Kennebunkport, Maine.  I threw out the garbage.   I chatted with neighbors.  In all of the years that Starbucks has been on Greenwich Avenue, I have only had three cups of coffee there, and one cup of coffee at the Starbucks next to Whole Foods that a friend bought me.  Thus as a Starbucks observer, I use their bathroom frequently, but I do not actually drink their coffee.  Still I have seen a lot of Starbucks customers over the years.  The last time I had a cup of coffee at Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue was during the June before 911, and I told two friends that were visiting that the United States was going to be invaded, but nobody paid any attention to my foresight.  CIO 

<888> 07/07/14 Monday 12:05 P.M.  I chatted with a relative.  I will now shower and clean up.  The middle age people like myself do not go out downtown on Mondays, so they older retired people can have complete control of the town.  CIO

<888> 07/06/14 Sunday 7:15 P.M.  I chatted with a neighbor.  My relative showed up about 4:45 P.M., and I dropped the relative off at the Greenwich Train Station.  My relative gave me $30 for the gasoline used coming down from Kennebunkport, Maine.  I then walked upper Greenwich Avenue.  I sat out at various locations.  I stopped by the Chase Bank ATM machine just north of Saks Fifth Avenue.  I used the bathroom at CVS.  I bought a 20 pack of AA CVS alkaline batteries for $5.99 and .38 tax for $6.37 total.  After I finished my walk, I sat out for a while, and I chatted with a friend on my wireless telephone.  I tried stopping by Zen Stationary, but they were closed at 6 P.M..  I then went by the Stop and Shop, I bought a five quart box of Stop and Shop powdered milk for $7.29, bananas for .69 a pound for .65, two frozen Birds Eye sweet and sour 28 ounce stir fry chicken dinners for $4 each, a 9 ounce package of Stop and Shop deli sliced Swiss cheese for $3.69, and a two chicken leg with two thighs and mashed potato dinner for $1.99 for $19.52 total.  I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $50.19 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for 10.984 gallons at $4.569 a gallon at odometer reading of 108997 miles for 580.9 miles driving, since my relative left on this past Thursday afternoon July 3, 2014.  I can not figure out the miles per gallon, since I do not know how much my relative put in while up in Maine.  I then returned home, and I said "Hello" to a neighbor.  I put away my groceries.  CIO

<888> 07/06/14 Sunday 4:25 P.M.  My relative just called, and the relative is at Westport, so the relative should be here in 20 minutes.   I will now wait outside for the relative.  CIO 

<888> 07/06/14 Sunday 4:15 P.M.  My relative should be here any minutes with the Volvo wagon.  Since the relative does not stop at every rest area to go to the bathroom, it should only take the relative about five hours and 15 minutes to come down from Kennebunkport, Maine.  There is not much traffic on I-95 http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&q=415220 , so the relative should be cruising right along.  CIO 

<888> 07/06/14 Sunday 3:50 P.M.   Even though it is only 83 degrees Fahrenheit outside, it is 20 degrees Fahrenheit warmer outside my living room windows in the hot sun above the black tar roof at 102.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is sort of why I need the two air conditioners going all of the time.  CIO

<888> 07/04/14 Friday 11:50 A.M.  I brought the LaCrosse weather station sending unit inside, and I followed the procedure for installing new batteries in both the sending unit and the base unit, and it still did not record the outside temperature on the base unit.  Instead of using the LaCrosse sending unit, I put the WeatherDirect sending unit outside, so the WeatherDirect internet weather device now has the outside temperature on it.  If I can get the LaCrosse unit working, I might still use it for the inside temperature and the time.  The instructions say to leave the batteries out for 15 minutes, but that did not work.  I will leave them out for a day.  I chatted with a friend.  CIO 

<888> 07/04/14 Friday 9:55 A.M.  I took off the cover off the bathroom ceiling fan, and I cleaned it.  I then vacuumed out the accumulated moisture dust from the inside housing which there was quite a bit of.  I then lubricated the rear end off the fan motor rotor a few times with WD 40 and machine oil.  I started it up and stopped it a number of times.  I am now leaving it running for a while.  After putting back on the cover, it took a couple of minutes to start up again, so I am leaving it running for a while to see if that fixes the problem.  I had to replace the batteries on my LaCrosse weather station base unit, but I can not get it to display the outdoor temperature.  It seems one has to also remove the batteries from the sending unit which in my case is outside my window along side the air conditioner.  I would have to remove the items from that area and remove the screen to do that, so for now I will leave it set up to see if it pulls in a signal sooner or later.  CIO
