Note: <888> 10/30/01 Tuesday 7:50 P.M.: Well, I was up at 10 A.M., and I fell back asleep until 4:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins.  I received a telephone call. I rested until 7 P.M.. I am now beginning to cook the Purdue chicken, which should be done in one hour and forty-five minutes since it is bigger 8.88 pounds.  I seasoned both sides with celery salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, Italian spices, oregano, and basil, and I then coated the top side with Texas Best barbeque sauce. I threw out the innards and said hello to a neighbor. CIO

Note: <888> 10/30/01 Tuesday 2:35 A.M.: Well, I watched a bit of television. I had a meal of two hotdogs with buns and ketchup and mustard and a quarter dill pickle and ice tea. Well, time for bed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note: <888> 10/30/01 Tuesday 12:50 A.M.: Well, I did a funny think while exiting my apartment this evening. I broke the framed 19^th century post card of Paris, I hang by my entry light switch as I departed.  The sharp edge of glass pointed towards the Louvre. I hope this does not mean by “second sight” that the Louvre will be a terrorist target. I told some people this when I went out. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed moving vans moving a company in just north of the Senior Center. It is apparently “Beans.com” from Duncan, Oklahoma moving out of Manhattan. Their site is not up and running yet. I then drove by the waterfront, and I chatted with a fisherman. I then drove back uptown, and I wished a friend walking around Happy Birthday. I then stopped by the Food Emporium, and I bought an 8.88-pound Purdue oven stuffer roaster for .79 a pound for $7.02 total, Asparagus at $1.49 a pound for $1.59, and a two-pound bag of yellow onions for $1.49 for $10.10 total. I then returned home. I had some ice tea. CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/01 Monday 8:25 P.M.: I had two biscuits about 8 A.M.. I slept until about 1 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. A friend arrived just before my 3:30 P.M. appointment. I then went to my appointment. I next returned home. We watched television and drank ice tea. We had dinner of reheated French onion soup with rice and chicken along with a slice of buttered toast and ice tea. We watched more television. My guest just left. I will now go out for some fresh air. CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/01 Monday 6:15 A.M.: I made up a batch of http://mrscott.com/biscuits.htm . I ate four and saved four. Well I have a 3:30 P.M. appointment today, so I guess I should head off to bed. CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/01 Monday 5:25 A.M.:  I put the Lasko box fan in front of the air conditioner on the windowsill. I turned off the fresh air from the air conditioner, and I started the Lasko box fan to circulate the electric heat coming up from the electric radiators. Circulating the heat as it rises tends to make the apartment feel warmer and use less heat. It proved effective last winter. However, the low speed on the fan does generate a slight breeze, but the apartment tends to be less drafty this way. CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/01 Monday 4:50 A.M.: I put on my long underwear bottoms, and I went out and walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area also. Somebody missed the train and is sleeping at the Citibank ATM. I saw a large gray fox walking up the middle of Arch Street by the Post Office while; I was sitting at the Post Office plaza.  I believe one can figure out which star is the Southern Star, by looking at the three stars that make up Orion’s Belt, and then looking beneath that, and that one is the Southern Star. The Southern Star was also the name of the Swedish yacht the Duke of Windsor use to barrow in the Bahamas, and there is also a building by that name in Key West, Florida. One can always enjoy looking at the artwork in the galleries on Greenwich Avenue during evening strolls. One gallery has a Renoir in the window. I found a Roosevelt dime on the street in front of St. Mary’s. There is a bench next to Bang and Olufsen which one could pull over and watch the digital television in the window with sub captions showing the movie “Toy Story”, although it is not exactly like a drive-in theatre the digital television I guess with a DVD CD has most excellent clarity. I first saw digital television introduced ten years ago when I was looking at the displays at Albertville, France during the Winter Olympics there, which I visited with a friend that winter. I found one Winter Olympic web site http://www.olympicwebsite.com/olympics2002.htm, and I believe Microsoft has the responsibility for producing the upcoming Winter Olympic web site. I then drove down by the waterfront. I just now returned home. CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/01 Monday 2:15 A.M.: I had a couple of hotdogs with buns and mustard and ketchup and a quarter homemade dill pickle along with ice tea. Well not much happening, maybe I will check the television to see what is happening, and then possibly I will do some more reading. CIO

Note: <888> 10/29/01 Monday 1:25 A.M.: I chatted with a relative. I went downtown. I dropped off the IBM 433SX computer at the Hospital Thrift shop along with an empty typewriter case. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I sat out at a couple of locations. I also walked over by Kinko’s, and I noticed they were not open all night on Sunday night. I also noticed http://www.outdoortraders.com/ has a large selection of winter jackets including Gortex. They have a sign posted on the door that they are moving to 55 Arch Street across from the Mews where the old Magnolias restaurant used to be. I drove down by the waterfront. I returned home. I had a cup of Bigelow tea with sugar and honey. I then took out all the computer cords, keyboards, mice, and other miscellaneous computer items from the lower compartment of the center hallway bookshelf. I put the miscellaneous computer electronics in the right lower bedroom drawer, the computer cords in the black plastic file case underneath the right side of the Danish desk in the bedroom, and the keyboards, mice, and empty boxes behind the Queen Anne Chair in the lower bookcase shelf. I doubled up the books in the upper shelf to make room. I put out the Yellow pages with the big button telephone. I put all the wine glasses from the bar in the upper half of the center hallway bookcase lower compartment along with the Red Cross emergency winter provisions that I keep handy for winter. I also rearranged some of the bric a brac on the two Danish end tables stacked on top of each other for the bar.  I have an old Panasonic camera without the battery pack I will drop off at the thrift shop.

Note: <888> 10/28/01 Sunday 9:00 P.M.: Earth Quake hit New York City on Sunday morning at 1:42 A.M. http://www.tcpalm.com/news/national/28snatbr.shtml . I felt it, and I thought it was a major car wreck down by the Boston Post Road. CIO

Note: <888> 10/28/01 Sunday 1:25 A.M.: I tested the IBM Value Point 433 DX/SP, and it works fine. It has an 8-megabyte memory chip in it with room for three more four total. It has a 350-megabyte hard drive in it along with 14,400-baud modem. It is running IBM DOS 5 and Windows 3.1. It has WordPerfect 6.1 on it along with a few other programs. Moran Towing apparently discarded it. I did not think they were still in the railroad building. Perhaps somebody has been using it as a doorstop or an anchor.  I will drop it off at the Hospital Thrift Shop sometime in the near future. CIO

Note: <888> 10/28/01 Sunday 12:15 A.M.: I had dinner of reheated spaghetti with tomato meat sauce and Parmesan cheese along with ice tea and then a cup of Bigelow tea with honey and sugar. I will fiddle with the IBM 433 SX, maybe installing more memory and possibly putting Linux on it. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 10:50 P.M.: I went out, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I drove down by the waterfront.  I found and IBM 433SX computer with 8 Megs of memory at the train station dumpster on the lower level. I will probably drop it off at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop at the beginning of the week. I then returned to town. I walked upper Greenwich Avenue. I then gave a ride from the Stop and Shop to a couple of friends to another destination. I then returned home. I checked out the IBM 433SX, but I did not test it. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 7:25 P.M.: I received a telephone call and I made one earlier this afternoon. I rested until 6:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I will now do the vacuuming. I will then clean up and go out. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 7:25 A.M.: I started reading “Great Waters”. The author explains that New England is fished out. I guess if we are having a food shortage, we could start eating some of the deer that are supposedly in plentiful supply in this area. I know a deer hunter. Well, I have ample supplies to make it until the end of the month, so as usual, I am just trying to lose a bit of weight, so it is easier on the arthritis and joint pain when walking around. Since it is cooler this morning, I guess I will take a nap before going out. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 4:15 A.M.: I went through my regular computer routine http://mrscott.com/scotwork.htm , and I also sifted through my email. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 3:40 A.M.: I had a plate of spaghetti and tomato meat sauce along with Parmesan cheese and ice tea. I put a 12 pack of Diet Coca Cola in the refrigerator. Well time for some regular computer work. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 3:15 A.M.: I noticed on the local ABC evening news on Channel 7 last night on the report on New York State funding Senior Citizen centers, they showed a picture of a prominent New York State republican using the senior center facility in the news story. Somebody, everyone recognizes in New York State like N.A.R., if you get my drift. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 2:40 A.M.: I went out. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various locations. The skunk was back by the veteran’s monument again. I saw three young females and a guy involved in trashing the fall display at Best and Company near the police station coming from the vicinity of the police station. Before they did it, I heard one of the females ask the fellow to see his gun, so anticipating they were not a friendly group, I did not get involved. They did this about 2:05 A.M., and they continued up the Avenue, I guess to the Dome restaurant. I drove down by the waterfront, and I returned home. I am having ice tea. I am also defrosting some tomato meat sauce for spaghetti later on. CIO

Note: <888> 10/27/01 Saturday 12:35 A.M.: I finished house cleaning and watering the plants. I still have to vacuum later in the day when I won’t disturb my neighbors. I will now clean up and go out for some fresh air. CIO

I then made up a cup of 75% Folgers’s decaffeinated instant coffee and 25% Folgers’s regular instant coffee and put it in my thermos. I went downtown, and I sat out and chatted with a couple of friends and had coffee with them. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I next drove down by the waterfront. I then returned home. CIO

Note: <888> 10/25/01 Thursday 7:30 P.M.: On Microsoft Windows XP, I was thinking that conceivably since at the demonstration next Thursday, they are giving a $50 off certificate, one might be able to get the home edition for $50 with the certificate. Also possibly unlike the Professional Edition, possibly Windows 95 backup program might work with the XP home edition, since it is not replaced by the backup program that come with the XP professional edition. CIO

I then went down by the waterfront. I returned home. Since the warmer weather is pretty much over, I took down the Saudi Arabian hospitality flag for the winter; since more than likely any visitors from that part of the world are in warmer climates. I took the Holland Dutch flag from the bedroom, and I hung it downward in the living room between the United States and the British flags with the blue stripe on the left side. Well since I am a United States citizen of Holland Dutch, British, Scotch, Irish, French and German ancestry, I guess the current flags are more representative. I also found 65 cents in the couch when I straightened it up. CIO
