Note:<888>07/21/00 Friday 12:50 A.M. EDT: Well I worked on teh computer all Thursday morning until about 5 A.M.. I made a backup of my favorites and the server directory with the Colorado T1000E which did it successfully, but I could not get to successfully transfer to the backup computer or have it recognize the drives. On Thursday, I was up a 1 P.M.. I had Kelloggs Rice Crispies, toast, coffee, orange juice and Perrier. I also munched on Goldfish crackers and ice tea during the previous morning. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then drove downtown. I sat out in the park downtown. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I checked out Richard's half price sale. They will be moving into their new shop in about six weeks. I viewed the Simon Pearce Vermont country shop. I walked up the Avenue, and I chatted with one of the staff of Outdoor Traders about Dupont Gortex. He said they would be getting a new shipment in about a month. I then walked down the Avenue. It was a very beautiful day with ideal weather conditions. I then drove down by the Harbor and viewed the waterfront. I chatted with some regulars. I then returned home.

I then updated Internet Explorer to 5.5 and Microsoft Media player on the backup computer. I then disconnected both computers, and I took the lids off both. I transfered my E: drive from the primary to the backup, and then I copied the Microsoft Favorites to the backup along with my server directory. I then installed the Apache server and the "httpd.conf" copy to the backup, so I theorectically to could run the server from my backup computer with the same file group. I will not do it for now, so as not to attrack hackers to my site. I reassembled and attached both computers. I am having some ice tea and goldfish crackers. Well I am a bit bushed, so I will to bed in a while. Have a good morning. CIO

I then stopped by the Arnold Bread store, and I bought 3 loaves of HealthNut bread for $2.69 total. I returned home, and I put the items away. I put the square Danish coffee table with the wicker cover on it between the bar and the Queen Anne chair. I polished the new coffee table with lemon oil. I set it up exactly in between the two sofas and the Queen Anne chair. I set up the surface items, so there is now a much larger space on the new coffee table. I had some mixed nuts and ice tea. I went for a walk around the building. I had some of the alfredo maceronni with the defrosted speghetti sauce mixed together, so it was like spicey Hungarian goulash for dinner with iced coffee. I then mixed a mixture of 40% ground coffee with 40% gorund five bean A&P coffee and 20% Hawaian Kona coffee into a ground coffee mixture for future consumption. Well time for a little regular internet work. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>07/19/00 Wednesday 2:20 P.M. EDT: I noticed last night at "NRL Satellite Photo Eastern Atlantic, Hurricane Formation Area" and "University of Nottingham U.K. Hurricane Formation Area Satellite Photo" that there are large cloud formations over sub Saharan Africa that might mean hurricane activity in the Carribean basin in about a week. I relaxed last night doing a little computer work. I went to bed about 2 A.M., and I was up at noon today. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, orange juice and Perrier, and vitamins.

I then went by CVS and I bought six packs of Phillie light cigar cigarettes for $9.54 plus .57 tax for $10.11 total. I then returned home. I washed the orange juice container. The Krups pot does not work with my current Krups machine, but it is good for serving. I had a bowl of goldfish crackers and iced coffee. I then made up a half gallon of orange juice form the frozen container, and I added another half gallon of fresh Tropicana orange juice to the container, so I have a gallon of orange juice. Well time for some fresh air downtown. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>07/18/00 Tuesday 9:20 P.M. EDT: I rested a bit on Monday. I also channel surfed along with my regular internet work. I made some alfredo sauce with macaronni around 8 P.M. and had it with iced coffee. I had popcorn around midnight with iced tea. I got several days rest this past weekend. I had Kelloggs rice crispies, toast, orange juice and Perrier, along with vitamins this morning when I was up around 8 P.M.. It is suppose to be a little warmer today up to 88 degrees and then for the rest of the week it maxes out at 80 degrees give or take. I noticed on the andrea electronic microphone I had it hooked up to the computer wrong. I took off the adaptor off the sound card, and hooked the extension wire directly into the sound card. I then used the adaptor between the extension cable and the microphone cable wrapping it with electrical tape. Well I guess I will go out in a little while. Have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>07/17/00 Monday 4:00 P.M. EDT: I did my house cleaning and watering the plants yesterday afternoon. I had some Spinich Quiche several times during the day with ice tea and coffee.

I went out about 9 A.M. and I chatted with some neighbors. I went back to bed and was up at 3 P.M.. I had the rest of the Spinich Quiche with ice tea and coffee. I am listening to http://www.broadcast.com/radio/Oldies/WYCL/ which is an oldies Radio Station from Pensacola, Florida where I use to live in 1953 to 1954 with a lot of Cival War veterans and a few younger vets from after World World II and other later wars. Well I am making up a batch of iced coffee with Hawaiian Cona coffee and my five bean A&P blend of coffee. Well have a cool afternoon. It is only 81 degrees Farenheit here and 72 degrees Farenheit inside thanks to the General Electric air conditioner and a family member whom helped me acquire it. Well have a good after noon. CIO
Note:<888>07/16/00 Sunday 1:00 P.M. EDT: Well I did some routine errands around the house last night. I ran the Norton Speedisk on my C: drive. I went out about 3 A.M., and they still had the same police sobriety check point on West Putnam Avenue as when I came in. They checked my eyes with a red beam flash light and had me look to my left to make sure I was sober. I went down by the waterfront, and I chatted with some of the fishermen. I noticed a police launch on the sound by Huntingtown, Long Island. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I returned home, and I advised the police at the check point that from my viewpoint that West Putnam Avenue is one of the first high points between the Palasades in New Jersey east to Connecticut, thus if there ever was flooding people would come our way in large numbers. I suggested if it ever does happen, Danbury might be higher ground. I returned home, and I put the British flag over the center window, and the Dutch flag over the left window. I put the Life magazine coronation magazine picture of Queen Elizabeth underneath the British flag. I figure on Friday August 4, 2000; a few anglophiles will be toasting the Queen mother. I went to bed about 4 A.M., and I was up at noon. I had a fifth of a Spinich Quiche pie, orange juice and Perrier, coffee, and vitamins. Well it looks like the weather has cleared up so have a nice day. CIO

I had breakfast of Kellogg's rice crispies, toast, orange juice and Perrier, coffee, and vitamins. I had some refried rice and ice tea for lunch. I had a Swanson's hearty meal with boneless breast of chicken, and other items for dinner. I chatted with a friend for a while. I then went to bed a little after midnight since with the rain, my low blood pressure made me tired. I had some popcorn and icetea before going to bed. The NOAA weather warning system woke me up about 6 A.M.. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orang juice, and Perrier. I did a little computer work.

I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and then I walked upper Greenwich Avenue. There was the usual dining, movie, coffee shop, and pub group of people out after a rainy weekend. They all looked like they had a bit of cabin fever. I noticed four Quebec license plates while out on couples on motorcycles. That is 61, 62, 63, 64 Canadian license plates in sixteen and a half years since I came down from visiting Toronto. I know a few Canadians in the area. I stopped by the Grand Union while on my way downtown, and I returned $1.15 in cans. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned home with a quick stop by the Shell Station to let the night manager know I paid the daytime proprieter for the Monarch cigarettes a week ago. I noticed the new Chevrolet Dealership is progressing well in a flat type of stone one sees in the southeast. They have a fireplace in the center front of the showroom for people to warm up when buying four wheel drive vehicles in the winter. I returned home, and I am now having a glass of ice tea. Well have a good morning. CIO
