<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 10:20 P.M. Biltmore Wine Email Newsletter
I printed out three copies of a Microsoft Money Sunset Income Versus Spending Report for November 2014, and I put one copy in an envelope to mail to an interested relative, and I used a My Florida Forever stamp to mail it. I will mail it in the mail room downstairs shortly before going to bed.
I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed, after I mail the letter. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 8:25 P.M. Besides my Obama wireless telephone, I keep a backup inexpensive AT&T wireless cell phone with me, when I go out, but I use the cheaper access https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/ which had expired on November 10, 2014, so I put another $10 on it good for ninety days at 10 cents a minute good until February 28, 2014. I could use its H2O sim card in this device http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wrist-Watch-Cell-Phone-AT-T-Mobile-Camera-Mp3-4-MQ998BS-/260717292268?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3cb3f62aec which I bought and returned a year ago, because its pin number was locked by another pin number, in other words, it had been used by someone else already. It did work quite well, if one wants to use such a device instead of a regular cell phone. At the moment, I will hold off, since I have three active cell phones and two inexpensive unused cell phones that I bought a few years ago for backup. I also have spare H2O regular and micro sim cards. The traveling international public do not realize how hard I work maintaining my rather complex but simple high tech "Pied A Terre" in North America. Alas the email for my only contact in South America does not work, so I guess I am the only contact in the Western Hemisphere in my network of International friends. The only telephone communications I ever get besides junk phone calls and friends and relatives is computer magazine call centers trying to get me to renew free computer magazines, which I mostly cancel, since I do not like being waken up the day time by them, when I am frequently on a night schedule. A lot of the cell phone and tablet parts and sim cards are in the boxes underneath the www.harvard.edu chair at the hallway entrance. The spare two new cheap cell phones are in some of the boxes piled around the Orion television in bedroom. Since most of the well finance general public use more expensive devices, there is not my interest in what I have accumulated on a limited budget over these years. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 6:15 P.M. I chatted with a relative. "Downton Abbey Rediscovered" is on Channel 13 www.pbs.org from 8 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. this evening. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 5:10 P.M. If you look at this http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=Panasonic%20Toughbook&sort=price_high , one can see what various expensive Panasonic Toughbooks cost at www.walmart.com like the Greenwich Police cars use. They are not cheap. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 5:05 P.M. I reheated and ate another Thanksgiving meal from http://www.templesholom.com/ . It consisted of three thick slices of white turkey meat, stuffing, steamed green beans and carrot bits, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, a dinner roll, and brownie. I put Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil in the vegetables and dinner roll. I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com . It was a most excellent and delicious meal. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 4:20 P.M. According to the reports on the www.rockefeller.edu family in the www.nytimes.com last week Why Are Rockefellers Moving From 30 Rock? ‘We Got a Deal’ - NYTimes.com , they are down to their last $10 billion, and they now have 500 relatives. $10 billion at 7.5 interest would yield $750 million annually, which divided by 500 relatives means they each only get $1.5 million a year, which is not that much money anymore in the big bucks world. Also they are probably not all in cash, but a lot of low yielding real estate, but that is the basic math, and they would probably have to pay taxes of 35% on the interest of $525 thousand leaving them each with $975,000 a year mugging money. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 3:45 P.M. I chatted with neighbors. I threw out the garbage. I went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought two 8.75 ounce cans of CVS deluxe lightly salted mixed nuts for $3.99 each for $7.98 total. I then bought a 16 double roll bundle of Charmin extra strong toilet paper for $9.99 and .63 tax for $10.62 total. I then went further downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I toured the Greenwich Train Station. I stopped by the www.apple.com computer store, and I told them they should make an Apple version of the Panasonic Toughbook for Law Enforcement. I tried to used the bathroom at Starbucks, but it was busy. I toured the Greenwich Hardware and their wide variety of home maintenance items. I noticed on the way into town that the Rusty Oxer truck maintenance garage on West Putnam Avenue has closed, and they have moved to Bridgeport. I chatted with a staff member from the Casablanca Polo shop http://www.casablancapolo.com , and they told me they supply Prince William with his polo gear. I toured CVS again. I sat out for a while at the top of Greenwich Avenue. I toured the new shop http://www.boastusa.com/ of an old Greenwich Country Day classmate that sells the resort wear with the Japanese Tea Leaf on it at the top west side of Greenwich Avenue. Also the street lamp there that was lopsided has been removed. I chatted with a board of education employee. I finished my walk. I chatted with someone with a Doberman Pincher. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. At the board of education parking lot, there is a van selling what looks like vintage clothing. I then drove over to the Stop and Shop, and I bought four blueberry muffins for $3.99, two six packs of multigrain English muffins for $2.50 each, a 10 ounce bottle of Kikkoman soy sauce for $2.19, a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.04, two 8 ounce Smart Balance extra virgin olive oil spread for $1.69 each, two 18 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oats for $2.50 each, two 12 ounce generic honey for $2.50 each, a 16 ounce package of Perdue chicken nuggets for $1.99, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.39, one sweet potato for .99 a pound for .70 and 55 cents can return for $31.53 total. I used my $20 Greenwich Department of Social Services voucher to buy part of the groceries. I then returned home, and I carried up my purchases, and I put them away. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 8:45 A.M. Good News a 16 roll bundle of Charmin toilet paper is now on sale at www.cvs.com for $9.99. Hurry while supplies last. That is eight dollars off. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go downtown to do errands. It warmer this morning, and it is already up to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO
<888> 11/30/14 Sunday 7:45 A.M. I woke up at 6:30 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. Today is the last day of the Tropical Storm Season.. I guess the last remaining snow birds in this area will be going back down to Florida for the winter season. The rest of us will be left up here in the tundra of Connecticut. CIO

I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. I currently weigh 226 pounds. When I was last in Europe in January 1992, I only weighed 170 pounds. I think possibly since I eat oatmeal for breakfast every day, I have put a bit of weight on. I eat oatmeal, because it is good for one's cholesterol. When I used to eat bacon, eggs, and English muffins for breakfast I weighed less, but that meal is higher in cholesterol.
To make my oatmeal in the morning, I put a half cup of Quaker Old fashioned oats in a microwave proof bowl with a cup of water. I put the bowl in the microwave oven with a microwave cover on it, and I microwave it 1 minute and 40 seconds. I add honey, milk, and a sliced banana to the oatmeal. CIO

<888> 11/27/14 Thursday 4:55 P.M. I am pretty much out of backup USB drive storage, unless I delete one of the backups, which I would rather not do. I do not have anymore room on my external hard drives to do an Aoemi backup of the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I backup all of my systems, so if there is a hardware malfunction or system corruption, I do not have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the systems. CIO
<888> 11/27/14 Thursday 4:20 P.M. I finished configuring the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I am now doing a Windows 7 Complete PC backup of the entire system to the Seagate 2 TB USB external USB hard drive. It is pretty much the same as the other IBM ThinkCentres. The backup is about 41 GB in size. I moved the good Logitech headset from the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop to the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom so it now has a good headset. I put the weaker headset back on the second Dell D410 laptop. I have a new refurbished Logitech headset that I have never used, but I am saving it for when I need it. CIO
<888> 11/27/14 Thursday 11:50 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. CIO

I explained to the neighbor that I am busy working my computers. Also today I have had digestion problems, which I would not feel comfortable being out in public. I will now shower and clean up. Half the town of Greenwich, Connecticut is under 16 years old. If they are not watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, they are probably watching cartoons. I try to watch some of the American News media, but it always seem so irrelevant to the general public at large. They basically seem to broadcast what their commercial sponsors want to broadcast, and not want the general public might want to watch or listen to. In other words, the local media is not very entertaining anymore. CIO
<888> 11/27/14 Thursday 9:40 A.M. I woke up at 8 A.M..

I made my bed. I chatted with a relative. CIO
<888> 11/27/14 Thursday 1:05 A.M. On the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom, the Microphone sound is not very loud. It is possibly the inexpensive Logitech headset that I have on it. I am tired, and I have been awake 25 hours, so I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. I will eat 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt first. I will finish configuring the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom at a later date. CIO
<888> 11/27/14 Thursday 12:25 A.M. I have the Windows Updates installed on the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I had problems setting up the CMOS with the wireless keyboard, so I used a PS/2 keyboard for the one time procedure. I installed the C-Media Audio drivers for the Rosewill 5.1 audio card. The sound is just fine. I could not get the USB LAN device to work with Windows 7, so I will use the motherboard LAN connection. I can always get a more up to date USB LAN device, but the only reason I use them is not to worry about losing the motherboard LAN device. I looked at the inside of the case, and it appears a full length PCIe X1 video or graphics card would be lying on top of the CPU heat sink, which I do not think is advisable. For now I will stick with the motherboard 128 meg. Intel Graphic video which seems fast and clear enough. I am defragmenting the C: drive, before I configure it. CIO

<888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 5:10 P.M. I threw out the Microsoft 5000 wireless keyboard and mouse box. It is still raining outside at the moment, but it is suppose to change to snow and freeze tonight. I picked up the mail. I got my Greenwich Department of Social Services Voucher for $20 for the Stop and Shop, but I am not going out in this weather. The Stop and Shop is supposed to be opened until 5 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day. I put the IBM ThinkCentre shipping box which does not weigh very much on the top bedroom closet shelf. If it is a PCIe X1 slot, it is the lower of the two slots which does not have as much room above it with the PCI slot above it. CIO
<888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 4:35 P.M. This is all I can find on it http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd006096 .

<888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 3:30 P.M. The IBM ThinkCentre works just fine. I installed it on the bedroom desk with the 19 inch Acer LCD monitor, the generic Logitech speakers, the generic Logitech web cam, and the RCA plugs headset. I also put a new Microsoft Wireless Comfort 5000 keyboard and mouse set on it. It has 2 GB of memory, a 80 GB SATA hard drive, Windows 7 Home Premium, a DVD/RW drive. It will not take either of my spare video cards, but it has 128 MB of onboard video memory. It has one PCI slot that I put in the new Rosewill PCI 7.1 audio card that I bought earlier this year for $11.99. It seems to have some other PCI Express slot, but I am not sure what type it is. It is the one with the three or four half inch slots. When I started it up, I changed some of the CMOS settings. I have it plugged into the onboard LAN, but I have a USB LAN device that I will install later. It installed Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. It has its Windows 7 Home Premium sticker on the right rear side with the product activation code. I wrote it down too, but I had a bit of problem telling the differences between "B" and "8", which took a while to figure out. The new install is 14 GB on three different partitions. I did a Complete PC backup of it to both the Vantec and the Bytecc external USB hard drives. I am now installing the Windows Updates which will take a while. It is IBM ThinkCentre "MT-M 9210-KUA". It is suppose to have a hidden system restore partition, that on booting up and pressing F6, one can access; but I am not sure if it exists or not. I set to the CMOS setting for it for "Secure", so if it exists, it can not be altered. CIO
<888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:25 P.M. The order with tracking of UPS Tracking on the order for IBM Computer 2GB Memory 40GB Hard Drive CD-ROM Windows 7 Home Premium for $39 and $5 shipping for $44 total arrived. I will now install the additional parts in it, and configure it. CIO

I went downstairs, and I checked out the local environment. It is raining a pretty heavy outside, and it might turn to sleet in the areas further north of here. I can hear a lot of traffic on I-95 http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&q=415220 .

<888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 9:30 A.M. I reheated and ate the same flavored rice and flavored Dinty Moore meal, which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I wander what the that six foot wide and six foot tall white man out on Long Island is eating for his Thanksgiving Meal. Maybe he should play Santa Claus in the www.macys.com Thanksgiving Day parade, but he might scare the children. I once read that the Macy family like a lot of well known families were from www.nantucket.net . Of course the descendants of the Mayflower Pilgrims are suppose to number 20 million people. Bill Cary when he was alive besides being Fred Von Mierers' lawyer, also used to run the Mayflower Society in Manhattan https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ . I visited Plymouth Rock a couple of times, when I was a Polaroid photographer, and Polaroid paid me 9 cents a mile travel money. I think the last time I visited Plymouth Rock was in the spring of 1977 while hitch hiking, when I was drifting around the Boston area waiting to settle into Nantucket for the summer. The time before that was in the summer of 1971 with my elder sister and her boy friend. That evening we had dinner at Trader Vics http://tradervics.com/ at the Sheraton Hotel in Boston, and after a few Samoan Fog Cutters, I almost got into trouble with the Secret Service for bad mouthing George Wallace who was making a campaign appearance there at the time. Alabama republicans at the time were well known for speaking out against the democrat establishment. Richard Nixon used to also like eating at Trader Vics.

!!!!!! <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 4:15 A.M.

Thus white people are not necessarily peaceful, unlike the media pretends. CIO

<888> 11/20/14 Thursday 2:30 P.M. I installed a 60.75 inch vertical stud on the center front of the bedroom closet shelf with clothes hanger. I used four 3 inch screws to attach the top of the stud to the front center of the wire shelf where there was a double layer of hardwood slats that I had installed earlier. I used four 2 inch screws drilled into the floor at angles into the wood to secure the stud at the bottom to the floor. One can not drill very far into the floor like it might be cement, so the angle method holds the stud in place. I used five wall anchors with 2 inch screws on either side of the closet with 30 inch by 1 inch by 3 inch pieces of wood to hold the speakers in place against the back walk to keep them from rocking or moving. I also put in two 11 inch by 1 inch by 3 inch wood pieces on either side at the top of the wire rack over the speakers with four two inch screws each in addition to the hard wood pieces I had already installed to attach the wire shelf to the heavy wood speakers. Thus the bedroom closet hanging clothes shelf is very secure, and it should never come down again. The vertical stud blocks me from putting the Hoover vacuum cleaner on the floor of the closet, so I put it on the left side of the bed underneath the CVS laptop computer table that holds a lot of old paper work.

<888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 11:35 A.M. I chatted with a relative. When I have the time some morning, I could drive over to http://www.interstatelumber.com/ in Byram on the Byram River, and get a 2" X 4" X 60.75" inch piece of wood that I could use to support the front center of my bedroom closet shelf to take some of the stress off the wire shelf. I could attach it to the floor with Stanley angle irons and a small flat piece of wood at the top. I would lose about 3.5 inches of closet hanging space. I could also get two 1" X 4" X 24" strips of wood to use to hold the speakers in place instead of the strip and the wedge that I am using at the moment. But when I have the time. The wire hanging shelf is secure enough for now. It has been a long time, possibly even a year, since I crossed the border into New York State, and frequently people see me so rarely over there in that neck of the woods that has gotten very expensive anymore, they treat me like a foreign visitor in their new metropolis. I used to shop over there all of the time. Thus if I got to Interstate Lumber, I would be on this side of the Byram River. CIO

<888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 8:15 A.M. Of course up in www.nantucket.net , where they have bigger fish, I used to use a 14 foot fiberglass rod that split in two along with a Penn http://www.pennfishing.com/ reel and 50 pound test line and http://www.hopkinslures.com/ to catch the 78 blue fish and 2 stripped bass, I once caught in October 1978 at the Lyon Farm Road beach by the old www.navy.mil nuclear preparedness Quonset hut in two hours. I filleted the fish on the beach to chum the water, and I got 15 cents a pound for the blue fish filets and 35 cents a pound for the striped bass filets. I had just bought my $150 1971 yellow www.subaru.com that I put in a new clutch myself, and I later that month left Nantucket with a friend to head out to California, and elsewhere, but I never caught anything with the fishing gear elsewhere in California or Florida. I left the fishing gear at the www.shell.com gasoline station on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Barbara, California in exchange for $10 in gasoline the night Ronald Reagan got elected President, so I could drive down to the victory party with a bunch of old California types in Laguna Beach, California. At the time on that last trip, I was driving a two door 1971 Burgundy Volvo sedan made in Belgium that I had bought in August 1980 at John Delia Subaru here in Greenwich for $1,750, where I gave them my old yellow Subaru. After the victory party, I sold the burgundy Volvo sedan for $1,250 a cash for your car place next to the entrance of Disney Land that I never visited to afford to fly back with my friend to the very cold winters of Manhattan. I did make a brief trip to Frankfurt, Germany that December 1980 to see what was happening. CIO
<888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 7:40 A.M. While at www.lfc.edu , I was one invited to go pheasant hunting in nearby Wisconsin by a roommate from Lake Forest, Illinois. It seemed sort of strange that the roommate seemed to be more interested in possibly shooting me than a pheasant, so after that I was a little bit leery of hunting with people that I did not know well. Down South in Decatur, Alabama, my father's group of friends mostly hunted Canadian Geese and Doves. They did used to have turkey shoots at Thanksgiving. While at Lookout Mountain Camp age 7 and 8 years old, I was pretty good at shooting a 22 caliper rifle, and I still have the National Rifle Association badges to prove it. Of course after looking at computer monitors for 24 years and reading most of my life, my eye sight might not be as good as when I was 7 or 8 years old. I have a relative who used to know the owner of Zepco http://www.zebco.com/ Sporting Company, and that individual use to hunt with the King of Spain. CIO

I then went by the red Christian charity drop box at the Stop and Shop, and I dropped off a bag of old clothes and other items. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue and all the way down Steamboat Road to the pier on the waterfront. It seems perfectly normal down there. The new housing project across the street from 600 Steamboat Road seems to be progressing along. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $8.01 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $3.979 a gallon for 2.012 gallons at odometer reading of 109855 miles for 23.4 miles driving since Thursday November 6, 2014 for 11.631 miles per gallon in mostly local night traffic.

I guess people in Florida are still having to rough it out in the hot weather. Up North here in the Tundra of Connecticut, we are still getting ready for another long cold winter ahead. Down south, the Tropical Storm Season does not end until the end of November. Having spent a five winters down south, I know it can be more comfortable down there, but it is also hard for English speaking Yankees whom are well educated to make a living down south of the Mason Dixon line. I do better up north, where I am around a lot of the same people whom have the same educational background that I happen to have. Unfortunately that education does not always transfer to other parts of the country or the World in general, as I have found out, when I have traveled. There is some dispute in the family whether my branch is related to the Winfield Scott branch of the family. From my research, it could be possible. When Winfield Scott's father arrived in this country in New Jersey around 1724 from Scotland, he was looking for a relative that he never found. It so happens that my Scott relative also arrived from Scotland at the same time, and unlike Winfield Scott's father whom married into the wealthy Winfield family of Virginia, my relative first settled in Western Pennsylvania, with a son who fought in the American Revolution and got 200 acres for it in North Carolina, and his descendants became the wealthy William Scott family of Kentucky that my relatives in central Illinois are descended from. Thus over time in America like elsewhere, people and families move around. I do know that my relatives in North Carolina might be related to the actor Randolph Scott who was also from the same part of North Carolina. However, since my father was an only child, my branch of the Scott family is not very large so to speak. CIO

<888> 11/17/14 Monday 2:20 A.M. I threw out the garbage on a rainy morning. I sat outside briefly. Traditionally the Scottish have a long history of "The Night Watch". I guess since the British were always invading at all odd hours in the morning. Also the Dutch have a long history of "The Night Watch" , since the Germans also were also invading at all hours of the early mornings. Since I am of Scottish, English, and Dutch descent; it seems over all of these decades, I have become accustomed to being awake at night and in the early morning hours. In nearby Manhattan, there are always a few people awake at night, but out here in the suburbs; there are not as many people awake in the wee hours of the mornings, since to afford to live here, one has to work mostly in the daytime. Also with the higher prices of fuel, one can not cruise around to see if there is any activity here or in neighboring communities. I will now open the apps on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. There are more like it at Ebay starting at about $130 with the same basic configuration that I have. Of course some people prefer to pay a hundred dollar more for a new laptop with more resources.

I ate a 19 ounce Marie Callender 3 meat and 4 cheese lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and two sliced tomatoes with celery salt, ground black pepper, Italians seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoes, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. CIO
<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 11:25 A.M. I put the clothes back on the bedroom closet shelf clothes hanging rack. With the six inch support space and the two speakers at either end, it is only about 5 feet or less of hanging clothes cramped in not 7 feet. It seems to be stable and secure. I put a small strip of wood on the right side of the top right speaker to keep it from shifting, and I and I wedged another piece of wood between the top left speaker and the wall with a piece of wood to keep it from pushing through the sheet rock. Thus the speakers can not rock of shift slightly forward. I did not put anything heavy on the closet shelf. Just a comforter, some tissue paper, a half dozen polo shirts, a box with my canvas back pack and two spare coffee machines and a spare Cusineart food processor. The heavier items are over the speakers. I put the items back on the floor including my spare towels and sheets along with my walking short piled up on the floor on the right side. I put my golf clubs behind the chair opposite the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer behind the primary work computer. I threw out a Sears upright vacuum cleaner with bags, a Regina carpet cleaner with extra brushes, a like new Olivetti toaster oven, a glass pipe tobacco jar, old coffee machines, a old coffee grinder, and a couple of boxes of old receipts. Thus it was about a six hour project, but the apartment is back to normal whatever that might be. I chatted with a relative earlier. When I have time, I can take the pair of speakers out of the bedroom and put them on the hallway bookcases to replace the larger pair I used for the closet setup. CIO
<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 7:45 A.M. I finished installing the closet shelf hanging clothes rack as described in the previous note. It went faster because the Black and Decker drill has a flat head screw driver bit. The shelf seems sturdy enough. I will now put back in the clothes and other items, so hopefully it will support the weight. CIO
<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 6:05 A.M. I have six, 8" X 1.25" X 3/8th" hard wood slats that came off pants hangers. I can use two of those sandwiched around the front center of the shelf to provide a connecting place for the front 45 degree angle support attachment. I then can use two of them on either side in the rear corners to secure the rear back of the wire shelf to speakers. I have a box of the right size woods screws, so I will get on it now. I have a new Black and Decker drill and a set of new Bosch drill bits and extension cord. Hopefully it will all work. I already have the other four 45 degree angle supports installed. With my setup having the shelf on top of the heavy wood speakers, all of the weight is on the floor and not on the sheet rock. CIO
<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 5:40 A.M. I think I could probably fix the center front 45 degree angle support attachment with a 1.5 inch to 2 inch hose clamp, which I don't have. CIO
<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 4:30 A.M. A simple cheap way to do it, might be to buy two, fours pack of 4 inch Stanley flat bars at the Greenwich Hardware store if they have them, and use two on the back side of either speaker to secure the shelf to heavy wood speakers, so it does not flip. However, the center 45 degree angle support has broken at its plastic mounting on the center front of the shelf, but one might repair that with a double layer of Behr paint sticks. Still there is a lot of weight on the shelf assembly, so it might be better for the building custodian to do a professional job when he has the time. CIO
<888> 11/15/14 Saturday 4:20 A.M. The building custodian did not get around to checking out my attempted closet shelf hanging clothes rack installation yesterday.

<888> 11/14/14 Friday 7:10 A.M. After the last note, I took down all of the flags in front of the hallway bookcases, and I put them in the Rubbermaid laundry hamper underneath the Sony Television in the bedroom. I then took down the two large wooden Technicsl speaker from on top of the hallway bookcases, and I put one each on either side of the floor in the bedroom closet. I then took two other large heavy wooden speakers from on top of the file cabinet in the bedroom and the right side of the bed, and I put them on top of the other two speakers creating about 12 inch by 11 inch by 55 inch high platform on either end of the inside of the bedroom closet. I then put the 7 foot long wire shelf with clothes hanging rack on top of the speakers. I used five 45 degree support bars between the lower back closet wall and the underneath of the shelf, with the closet wall ends held in place by Behr paint sticks to prevent push threw the sheet rock. It seemed like a secure setup, but just as I was finishing putting in all the clothes back inthe closet, the back of the shelf flipped up and slid off the speakers dropping the clothes to the floor. The center 45 degree support rod had its white plastic mount to the shelf break causing the shelf system to become unstable. I think the setup might work if I put a double thick layer of 2" X 4" underneath and along the top of the back of the shelf and below if in back, and smaller double layers of 2" X 4" pieces in front of the sides of the shelf to keep it from shifting forward, and possibly using some sort of fastener to secure the shelf to the rear 2" X 4" setup, so it would not shift. Also possibly putting a vertical 2" X 4" stud in the center front of the shelf with smaller "T" 2" X 4" inch pieces screwed into to either end of the center front of the stud, and securing it to the shelf and the floor with some sort of fastener strip and screws. I will have to think about it. In the process of putting the clothes on the shelf, I sorted out about a third of the clothes that are too small for me. I moved the good clothes back to the Ethan Allen recliner in the living room an on the floor in front of it. I took the plastic hangers off the clothes that are too small for me, and I saved them on the closet shelf to use later. I sorted those clean clothes into two plastic bags and two large piles, and I used my little folding cart to wheel them out to the Volvo station wagon in three trips. I will take them over to http://ntngreenwich.org/ a little before 8:30 A.M. this morning, when they open. The only problem with the shelf setup as I have described, if it works, one loses about two feet of the seven feet of hanging space, but one would not probably want to put any more weight on the setup any way. The shelf before it collapsed was sagging about 3/4th of an inch in the middle. I will have to think about is some more. I also threw out an old Epson inkjet printer, and the air conditioning recharge system, I had for my 1993 Buick wagon many moons ago. CIO

<888> 11/13/14 Thursday 9:55 P.M. When I was taking down the right bedroom closet door to clear out the closet last Friday, when the shelf broke, I also broke the string on the water color of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France that is part of a set of two with a water color of the City Hall in Paris. I remembered I thought that I had bought a spool of string some time ago at CVS, but I could not find it after looking everywhere for about an hour. I finally was about to look in my little plastic yellow tool box in the hallway closet, and I noticed a long piece of old telephone wire. I used part of that to rehang the water color of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. On my last trip to Paris, France during the Albertville, France Winter Olympics, I noticed the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and although I am not Roman Catholic, I went inside and said a prayer for Paris, since they seemed to be overwhelmed with security forces for the Winter Olympics. Since the French could not afford to have electricity in the place, it was sort of hard to see what it looked like inside, but it is quite a large place near the Louvre on the Seine River, possibly on the Isle de Paris in the middle of the Seine. I can not remember. Thus I have been inside that church too. In fact it was the last church I have been inside in the Eastern Hemisphere after all of the religious places I toured on an earlier trip the winter and spring of 1972 to Southern Europe. I do recall on the winter of 1983 trip to Oslo, Norway having visited the two main churches in Oslo, Norway. Since I have never been in the United Kingdom, I probably have not visited any of their old churches, but I have seen a few United Kingdom residents in my days. When I use to drink alcohol up until about 24 years ago, and I might have one beer on a Saturday night, I would frequently run into people from the United Kingdom in some of our local and Manhattan pubs, so I guess they enjoy having a pint or two and can afford it. I think in the United States of America, in the New York City Area, an alcoholic drink now costs about $8 to $10 at most places. CIO

I moved the two emergency lanterns on the floor underneath the Epox computer. I moved the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook laptop setup from the CVS laptop table in front of the left living room closet to in front of the Epox computer monitor on the oak dining table. One can still move the Panasonic setup slightly forward to pull out the Epox keyboard, if one needs to use it. I moved the CVS laptop table to the left rear of the bed in the bedroom with the various odd paper work on top of it. To do that I had to temporary move on to the bed the various spare coffee machines and other kitchen items I had taken out of the bedroom closet, and they are now on the left side of the bed on the floor again. I moved the folding oak TV table from that location folded up on the right side of the legal chair in the living room. Thus one can now access the left living room closet without having to move any items. I keep my formal clothes there along with my many polar fleece pullovers and backup hard drives and spare shoes.

I already have five of these http://www.homedepot.com/p/ClosetMaid-16-in-Wire-Shelving-Support-Bracket-26607/100189209 that I could reattach the same way as before with the Behr paint sticks as support against the sheet rock rear wall like I did before. I have removed them, but I could probably figure out how to reattached them again, since they have their sheet rock anchors already installed. Of I could install them with mollies which the same toggle bolts which would be another $3.90. However, the weight of the shelf on the sheet rock in the past has pushed the support brackets through the sheet rock, which is why I used the paint sticks to support them. It would be better to attach a 1 X 6 inch piece of wood along the back wall with mollies to support the support brackets.
That would be $3.90 for the toggle bolts to support the piece of wood.
1, 8 foot X 1 inch X 6 inch piece of wood http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-1-in-x-6-in-x-8-ft-Common-Board-914770/202074483 for $8.75 and a cheap saw to cut it http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-20-in-Wood-Handled-Aggressive-Tooth-Saw-122SS2012/204748780 for $12.97, but I have a Black and Decker Drill and Drill Bits that I could drill a number of holes with an break the piece to about seven foot length.

The 7 foot Closet Maid shelf that I have was cut from a larger piece, so there are about five inch long double struts that stick out from either end that use to have plastic support pieces in between each strut that broke. The plastic support pieces are not available, but one could stick in three inch by 1.5 inch pieces of wood held by two hose clamps on either end. The piece of 1 X 6 would actually be about 3/4th of an inch thick, so one could cut two three inch by 3/4th inch pieces about two inches wide with the hand saw which might be tricky and support them in the strut ends with four http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Clamp-6756595/202309381 for $1.45 each $5.80 total.
Thus the closet repair items would be: $85.90 or with the hand saw $98.87 and 7.5% tax of $6.45 or $7.41 for $92.75 without the hand saw and $106.55 with the hand saw that one probably would need to cut the small wooden end strut pieces and shelf support strip. I really do not have the funds at the minute for that expense anyway, so I will continue to wait for the building custodian to make the repairs his own expert way. CIO
<888> 11/13/14 Thursday 1:40 A.M. I put away the clean laundry.
One of the cheaper ways to repair the bedroom closet shelf hanging clothes assembly might be to reinstall it with the plastic supports at the rear and plastic end supports that it was installed with before using mollies and a metal washer to hold the end supports into the sheet rock and reattaching the five angle shelf supports underneath that I had installed before. Then at the points behind the shelf assembly where there are aluminum two by four studs, one could drill holes into the aluminum studs and add http://www.homedepot.com/p/Crown-Bolt-10-in-x-12-in-White-Shelf-Bracket-15254/202034279 underneath the shelf for more support attached to the aluminum studs with sheet metal screws. If one did not have the capability of drilling into aluminum studs, one could put three of the shelf supports on either end and nine along the back and install each shelf support with three toggle bolts into the sheet rock. Thus besides the plastic supports, one would need 15 shelf supports and 45 toggle bolts. However, the back of the bedroom closet is also near the hot water tank in the ceiling of the bathroom. If that hot water tank ever leaked which it did 18 years ago, it might get the sheet rock wet. It sheet rock gets wet, it becomes like mush and loses all of its support capabilities. It might hold the additional weight that I seem to have accumulated over 26 years at Chateau de Vinci. I assume the Greenwich Housing Authority custodian with the other closet assemblies that have collapses in this building over the years knows how to do a proper repair that will last indefinitely.

Alas there are not many people awake at night in the suburbs except for essential services unlike nearby Manhattan, where there are a lot more people awake at night. Still I will be awake again tonight with my many years of personal computer experience and night time experience for what it is worth. However, the general public when they are asleep are not aware that there are still a few people left awake out here in the tundra of Connecticut. CIO
<888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 7:55 P.M. I ate a blueberry muffin before going to bed. I woke up at 6:15 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. CIO
<888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 10:20 A.M. On the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, the Windows 10 Technical Preview now has audio, after I restored the backup from yesterday morning. However, there is no way to prevent the computer from doing automatic updates, which is a problem. I set the automatic updates on it to 11 A.M., when I am usually not beta testing. I shut it down for now. Now I know the Windows Complete PC backup restore process works. One finds the Windows Complete PC backup program in the Control Panel under File Backup, there is a small link in the lower left hand corner of the page to take one to the page to make the image. I went outside, and I chatted with neighbors. It is warmer this morning. I dusted off the CVS desktop computer table that holds the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop, and I cleared off some of its loose debris that had accumulated. It still has a lot of wires on it including the power strip that is major junction in that neck of the woods in my computer setup to the left of the primary work computer. I dusted off the cigarette table in the kitchen. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat 8 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will then go to bed.

<888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 8:05 A.M. On the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer, I took out the pink Post It notes half inch thick package that I used to level it, since it was not thick enough underneath the Docking Station, and I put in a package of Jell-O artificial sweetener Tropical Fruit mix which is just the right thickness to level it. I then had to put the Netgear Wireless USB plug and the Blue Tooth USB plug on the right side, since their frequencies were interfering with the Microsoft Wireless USB mouse and USB plug on the left side. The mouse track device works really fast on it, if one did not want to use a mouse. Then on the Windows 10 Technical Preview, I installed a minor update, but instead of installing that minor update, it automatically installed what looked like a complete new update of Windows 10 Technical Preview which took about two hours. While it was doing that I put a good Logitech laptop web cam on the Dell Laptop for a second web cam along with the laptop built in cam, and I placed it on top of the Brother laser printer, so it has a wider view. I also checked my Iview tablets to make sure they are fully charged. I put out my hats and gloves and scarves on the brass and glass table in front of the www.harvard.edu chair. When the lengthy update of Windows 10 Technical Preview was complete, I checked it out. There was no way to change the update settings to chose what it does. Also the audio sound would not work. I tried uninstalling and installing the audio drivers and rebooting and that did not fix the problem. The audio still worked in Windows 7. Since I have made a Windows Complete PC backup yesterday morning after configuring the Dell Laptop, I am now restoring that backup to get the Audio working again. I will look to see if in the original install if there was an option to deselect automatic Windows upgrades. The second install had the automatic option to install upgrades at 2 A.M. which one could not change. However, the second upgrade was quite a bit faster than the original install. Dell only has Vista Audio drivers which will not work on Windows 10 Technical Preview. CIO
<888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 2:50 A.M. All the Ebay pages says they are similar, I put the new generic power supply meant for the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop with it, and I put the Dell power supply that came with the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop back with it. CIO

I ate two 3 ounce Perdue chicken Italian cutlets, steamed baby carrots and a baked sweet potato with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and two sliced tomatoes with celery salt, ground black pepper, Italians seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoes, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.

<888> 11/10/14 Monday 11:25 P.M. I put a half inch thick package of pink Post It Notes underneath the Dell docking station to level it off for support. With the cooling fan underneath the front part of the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, it was a bit unstable. I went downtown to the Stop and Shop. I bought a four pack of blueberry muffins for $2.99, a loaf of Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread for $2.87, a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.04, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey ham for $5.99 a pound for $4.43, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $2.45, a 64 ounce container of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice for $2.50, a 64 ounce container of Welch's pure grape juice for $3.99, a 9.5 ounce bag of Lays sour cream and onion potato chips for $2.50, a quart jar of Mount Olive kosher dill pickle spears for $2, two packages of reduced produce tomatoes for $1.91 and $1.53, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.06, and a sweet potato for .99 a pound for .91 for $32.18 total. While shopping I chatted with a relative of a former neighbor. While out in the parking lot, I chatted with a www.cl-p.com employee driving a white electric company truck. He told me that one can not weigh for than 350 pounds and work for them. They had construction going on in front of the Greenwich Library, so I detoured around to CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought two 45 ounce X-tra scented liquid detergent for $2 each and .25 tax for $4.25 total. I then sat out for a while further downtown. I chatted with two Starbucks regular customers as the store was closing. I then returned home, and I put away my groceries. CIO
<888> 11/10/14 Monday 7:45 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go downtown to get some groceries at the Stop and Shop and maybe check out the deja vue crowd at Starbucks and see if CVS has any bargains. I will not be walking Greenwich Avenue though. CIO

I setup the Dell docking station with the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer, and I plugged the audio and microphone and USB devices into the docking station. I have room to still have the fan cooler underneath the laptop. It is tricky attaching the laptop to the docking station. I also put the new Microsoft wireless mouse with the setup. I started up the Dell Laptop in both partitions to install the drivers. It all seems to run fine. Since the docking station sits four inches behind the laptop, the fan cooler projects over the control panel switches, so one has to know which switches to press on the control panel, since I have not labeled them. It all seems to work just fine. I put the new generic power supply with the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop. I am using the Dell power supply with Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. I hung the blue sweat pants on the left side of the hallway with the other pair and long underwear bottoms. CIO

There is frost on the cars on a cold sunny morning. I chatted with the building custodian. He has not gotten my work order yet from the Greenwich Housing Authority. Thus it will be later in the week at the earliest that he can fix the closet shelf hanging clothes system. He has about a dozen work orders ahead of me, and tomorrow is a holiday. CIO

<888> 11/10/14 Monday 6:50 A.M. I took four large eggs, expire December 15, 2014, and I broke them into a mixing bowl, and I added two tablespoons of milk, and seasoned the mixture with celery salt and Italian seasoning and ground black pepper and grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and I whisked the mixture together. I then took my seasoned omelet pan, and I added two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of Smart Balance spread, and I heated the pan over medium electric burner heat until the fat bubbled, and then I added the egg mixture. Once the eggs mixture was hardened enough on the bottom, I flipped it over with a spatula to let the top side of the egg mixture cook, and I put three deli slices of American cheese on one side of the top side, and I flipped the other side over it, and I slid it onto a dinner plate and some more grated parmesan and Romano cheese on it, and I added a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread on it, and I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.

<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 7:55 A.M. I moved the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop computer to on top of the CVS laptop stand. I will move it elsewhere later. Since I never use the Samsung color laser printer except for Christmas letters, I moved it on top of the FIC server hooked up to the primary work computer. From that location, I moved the Brother HL-2240 laser printer to where the Samsung color laser printer was on top of the white book shelf at the kitchen entrance above the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. Once the backups are finished, I will connect it up the Dell laptop, so it will have printing capability from its USB port. CIO
<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 7:10 A.M. I finished configuring the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I moved the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook computer to on top of the Samsung color laser printer on the bookcase at the kitchen entrance. I moved the bric a brac that was there elsewhere. I moved the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer to on top of the blue night stand at the apartment entrance beneath the Samsung color laser printer.

<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 5:15 A.M. I chatted with a relative about 2:30 A.M.. I basically have the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop almost configured. However, I spent about two hours trying to get the TrendNet TW100-BRF114U print server to install, and I still can not get it to install. I tried setting it up as a TCP/IP network port, but that would not work either. The Dell laptop is 64 bit, which is probably why the 32 bit driver does not install. CIO
<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 9:35 P.M. I burned two copies of the Windows 10 Technical Preview X64 to DVD to have available. I chatted with a relative.

<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:50 A.M. Since it might be a while before the building custodian repairs the bedroom closet shelf and hanger assembly, I made the apartment more livable. I put the hanging clothes from the bedroom closet on top of the Ethan Allen recliner and in front of it, so the area between the oak dining table the mahogany bureau is opened up freeing up the computers to be used at those locations. I also took the items off the bed in the bedroom, and I stacked them up on the floor of the closet, so the bed with access on the right side is now available for use. The floor on the left side of the bed is covered with various items from the floor of the closet. I don't have enough money to do the repair myself, and what little money I have I need to live off for the rest of the month. CIO
<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:00 A.M.
Basically my plan for the closet shelf repair is this.
Install 2 X4 along the back wall with 8 four inch mollies with washers at their heads.
One secured to the wall screw in another 2 X4 into with with three inch wood screws.
Do the same thing on both sides.
To fit the shelf, one has to cut the lower support iron on either end off a few inches.
Install 1 X 6 with 8 mollies across the back wall about two feet beneath the shelf to support the five older lateral support brackets.
Cut eight 2 X 4s to floor to bottom of shelf heigth less about 1.5 inches the width of two 1 X 6 boards used for support
Cut 16, 1 X 6 X 12 and screw them centered into either end of the eight two by fours.
Place support two by fours at the four corner of the shelf, and one front and rear a third of the distance from the side wall.
Secure shelf to back wall and side wall two by fours with 3 inch steel bars held in with one inch screws
Secure eight two by four studs with 3 inch bars at the top and and screws into the floor.
That should be enough support for all of the extra heavy weight on the shelf clothes hanger.

<888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:30 P.M. I woke up at 3 P.M.. The building custodian was not at work today, so he was not able to repair the bedroom closet shelf and clothes hanging assembly.

<888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:30 A.M. I chatted with a relative again. I decided to leave the items on the bed, and if need be I can sleep on the floor. I will call the Greenwich Housing Authority at 8:30 A.M. and place a work order. I assume they have had this problem a number of times in the building, so I assume they know how fix it properly without me going to a whole lot of hassle. CIO
<888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:05 A.M. I have the closet cleared out, and the old assembly disassembled, and a list made up. However, to support the closet shelf with wooden two by fours held in place with various hardware and the tools to do it is going to cost me close to $200 which I do not have at the moment. I will take the items that are on the bed, and put them back on the open closet floor, and I will thus have a place to sleep. I chatted with a friend. I will now clear off the bed. I guess I can call a relative to see if I can charge the cost at Home Depot to them, but because of the hacker problems at Home Depot, a relative might not want to let me use their credit card. I am extremely tired. I will now clear the bed. I chatted with another relative. CIO
<888> 11/07/14 Friday 5:05 A.M. I have the bedroom closet cleared out. I put the closet shelf items on the bed, and I put the hanging clothes on the floor in the living room between the oak dining table and the mahogany bureau. It is an excessive amount of weight. It looks like the right side plastic support broke giving way causing the hole assembly to give way. www.homedepot.com opens at 7 A.M. in Port Chester, New York.

I also put the new Alpine Swiss laptop bag underneath the CVS laptop table to have available to travel with the laptop a long distance like to Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue or the Greenwich Library, if I ever want to work on the internet in those two remote locations. Of course I also have Optimum WiFi, so there are probably a lot of other locations in this area that I could work at. For example, I would probably sit in the Greenwich Train station and pretend to be a commuter waiting for a train. I know they have Optimum WiFi at the top of Greenwich Avenue by the Pickwick Plaza, if I wanted to sit on a bench there and work on the internet. Other locations like the Greenwich Hospital also have free WiFi. Of course, I could also use one of my two Iview tablets or my Nokia Windows 8.1 GoPhone, but I am not too swift at using devices without keyboards.

When one is basically a night time person, the daytime people tend to be a bit of a distraction. Still I manage to keep busy in my own simple ways. I guess because daytime people see a lot of people in metropolitan areas, they have a sense of self importance. Night time people in suburban areas with so few people awake are more like rural people waiting for the next odd thing to happen in a rather quiet tranquil atmosphere. Still with the internet, one can manage to keep busy at night, where as a lot of daytime people waste a lot of time just navigating around each other which takes time. CIO

<888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 11:20 A.M. Return home to Oslo, Norway for the winter for $151 http://dealnews.com/Norwegian-Airlines-1-way-fares-to-Europe-from-149-/1184180.html . Of course, when I went there in February 1983 for a few weeks, there was six feet of snow on the ground, but by the time I left around St. Patrick's Day, it had all melted. The Norwegians are very cheerful friendly people in their own country. However, it is an extremely expensive country. I did get to go to a concert in the Noble Peace Hall for free, and one sees a lot of Nordic people with the same look as other Nordic people in this hemisphere. I did learn that they are very strict about people drinking alcohol and driving, and I think for the first offence, it is 15 years in jail. However, if one is not use to seeing lots of guards with machine guns, and walking freely around them on the palace grounds, they also take security seriously. I did notice they all like having hanging plants in their window hung from macramé twine of some sort. There is a law in Norway that the help does not have to eat salmon more than three times a week. They think Kellogg's corn flakes are a gourmet treat. It really is not to cold in Oslo, because they get a bit of the Gulf Stream into the Fjord, but the rest of the country particularly to the north can be a lot colder. However, they did not let me move there, since two people that looked like Ronald Reagan and Casper Weinberger showed up in my Best Western Hotel lobby behind the palace to discuss the matter, but they never actually chatted with me, so they maybe thought I was Norwegian. One Norwegian told me I should visit Glen Eagles sometime in Scotland. However, since I had spent most of my money traveling after I built the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island, by the time I got to Oslo, I was too low on funds to do anything but walk around on an empty stomach eating a few Swedish Wasa Crisps a day. Thus if one goes to Norway, one needs money, unless one happens to be Norwegian and has access to the Norwegian Social Services System which tends to be very generous to its own people. I did notice that unlike Sweden, one does not see that many fair haired people. The Norwegians are also very stocky. The Town Hall in Oslo is the most expensive brick building in the world, so it must have some sort of special features that I did not notice. Royal Dutch Shell and IBM have big office buildings there. The American Embassy that I visited was an impressive structure. They were very confused why I wanted to move there, and when I showed up there, a large section of the population took off on a dozen cruise ships to points further south. Fred Olsen of Olsen Travel runs a large tourist business out of Oslo, Norway with worldwide travel. However, when I visited the library at the University of Oslo, I knew I would be lost right away, since I do not know how to speak, read or write Norwegian. There was a student pub in the basement of the oldest church in Oslo, and I visited there one Saturday night, and I guess nobody knew I was from somewhere else. The Norwegians have a ski jump on the north side of town, along with the Frogmore Park where the Russians have their Embassy that looks like a vintage French Chateau. They were advertising George Du Boeuf Wine when I was there. The downtown area of Oslo is enjoyable to stroll in, but like all European Cities and villages that I have visited, one is left wandering around without much purpose, until one returns home. I did see a lot of Scrimshaw for sale in Oslo. I guess the Norwegians did not realize that I was trying to find a peaceful remote area of the world to live in away from the turmoil of the Western Hemisphere. However, I was not attuned to their viewpoint of us, so if I chatted with anyone important or expressed any viewpoint, it was one of a tired traveler. Still despite the circumstances, I enjoyed the trip. When I returned to the JFK airport in Manhattan, since I did not have any money, I spent two weeks camped out at the SAS terminal there, until I called a friend where I built the garage apartment, and I took the train to his place on Long Island, and he gave me a hundred dollar bill that I used to fly back to www.nantucket.net , where I worked until I returned to Greenwich in December 1983 after brief side trips late that fall to Florida and Toronto and Manhattan.

<888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 4:55 A.M. In terms of Saudi Arabia, my father once worked for King Wilkinson which was a Dutch engineering company in Saudi Arabia. I think they worked on building oil refineries. When I was in Key West, Florida during the winters of 1977 and 1978, I knew Izi who was from Saudi Arabia, and he used to sit on a prayer rug at Louie's patio just south of the Casa Marina Hotel. Louie's patio was where the windsurfers hung out along with Mel Fisher's children and a few friends of mine. When I flew down to Ronald Reagan's inaugural on a $40 Braniff airlines jet ticket from J.F.K. airport to National Airport in Washington D.C. on Inaugural Day in 1981, the only other passenger was the Saudi Arabian Oil minister who I did not bother. Since I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983, I have met two people who told they were Saudi Arabian, Prince Bin Azis. Once at Tucson's bar, when I was first getting into personal computers about 24 years ago, I chatted with the son of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Nations. I think his name was Auri or something like that. I chatted with him about Digital Computers of Lowell, Massachusetts. Since he was driving a $150,000 BMW and had a big blond male body guard from Virginia, I tended to believe him. A friend of mine had done landscaping at his new house on North Street, and told me they had 17 bathrooms. Another time, I met Asis who was from Saudi Arabia, and he lived on the same street in Cos Cob where Dorothy Bush's maid lived, and he worked at the perfume counter at Sac's Fifth Avenue in Stamford, and he also spoke French but very little English. I showed him my apartment setup and told him Daniel Construction had worked on building the Air Force base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That is about the limit of my Saudi connections. A British friend of the family also knew T.H. Lawrence of Lawrence of Arabia fame. I have never been in the middle east except western Turkey and also I have visited Lazarote http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=lanzarote&qpvt=lanzarote&FORM=IARRSM which is now a Saudi Arabian vacation spot of the coast of Morocco in the Canary Island. That was in the winter and spring of 1972, when I was a student in Europe. CIO
<888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 4:15 A.M. Good news, I unplugged Rowenta 4 slice toaster, and I slid out its too bottom panels to remove the crumbs, and then I shook it upside down over the garbage can to remove anymore crumbs. Now the right two slice side of the toaster now works again. I bought it about ten years ago as a 70% off discount item from the clearance shelf of the Greenwich Hardware store. I think it was normally about $80, and I paid about $30 for it; so it is a very good toaster. My Scottish, Saudi Arabian, Dutch, and U.S. Air Force flags also came from the same 70% off discount shelf. I got the large British flag for $15 at the Merry Go Round Mew Thrift Shop. I found the Swedish flag for $5 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. The rest of the flags, like the U.S.A. and Bermuda flags, I bought off the internet. Most of the small flags came from the Greenwich Hardware store. The very small Norwegian flag on the small sterling silver stand was about $5 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. My heavy duty steering wheel lock and my folding metal shopping cart also came from the 70% off shelf at the Greenwich Hardware store. Once they downsized to their smaller basement store, they eliminated the 70% off shelf. CIO

<888> 11/03/14 Monday 10:30 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.chase.com bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue. I then went by the Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place, and I paid my rent to the Greenwich Housing Authority. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a package of four blueberry muffins for $2.99, deli sliced Stop and Shop white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $5.24, deli sliced Stop and Shop honey ham for $5.99 a pound for $6.65, a container of fried chicken tenders for $2.05, bananas for .49 a pound for .60 for $17.53 total.

<888> 11/03/14 Monday 5:35 A.M. I have not used it in a long time, but the old version of Weather Pulse seems to work again http://www.tucows.com/preview/316051 . There is a new year old beta version, but I am not sure how one downloads it http://www.tropicdesigns.net/view-item/49/Weather-Pulse.html . One of my old security programs said it had a Trojan in it though. Still I used to find it very useful for weather forecasting. I ate three ounces of mixed nuts before resting. I will now try to rest some more. CIO
<888> 11/03/14 Monday 3:45 A.M. The latest version of Ubuntu seems to work just on the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook in a second partition. The only thing the higher resolution blurs some time, and I had to lower the resolution for the monitor in the setting to 800 X 600, and it is stable. When I had an earlier version of Linux or OpenSUSE on it, it supported a higher resolution, but when I would install the updates, it would crash. I do not think the latest version of OpenSUSE shows a menu, where one can use the install procedure below. I think I will take a nap for a while. I have to go out an pay my rent around 9 A.M. this morning. CIO
!!!!!! <888> 11/03/14 Monday 2:10 A.M. On the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook laptop computer, I have a new 80 GB IDE hard drive in it with Windows XP Professional on it. I used the free Paragon Partition program that was already on it, and I shrank the drive freeing up 25 GB of unused hard drive space. I then downloaded and burned to DVD, the latest version of www.ubuntu.com 32 bit version for Desktop. However, when one puts the DVD in the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook, it give a processor error message. I used this method to boot it http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1546 . I then chose to install it choosing the more tricky method to install it to the unused space creating a 5 GB swapper space and 20 GB of install space. One has to study the installation methods to do that, but it is not too complicated. It is now installing Ubuntu 14.04. Using that method, I guess I could also install it on the Epox computer too.

Where that $54 million dollar house is for sale Greenwich peninsula property lists for $54 million on the waterfront, one can search http://www.greenwichct.org/government/departments/tax_collector/ for Vista Drive to see how much the taxes are in that neighborhood. They pay a lot of money to watch sea gulls come and go. Of course this former bird watcher from Steamboat Road was never given credit for the 30 or more years I spent keeping an eye on the neighborhood at considerable cost and time for myself. Of course, if one searches property taxes on Steamboat Road, it is not too cheap either. I lived on Steamboat Road from June 1984 to December 1989, I used to pay about $450 a month for a studio apartment at 700 Steamboat Road, when the town was not too prosperous, when I first came off www.nantucket.net . Of course my last residents on Hussey Street in Nantucket in the tiny basement room with a two by four wooden bed was only $40 a week, when the owners of the Languedoc restaurant which owned the Hussey Street building were paying me $8.75 an hour as the head dishwasher before taxes. Thus my viewpoint is a bit different. CIO

<888> 11/02/14 Sunday 9:05 A.M.

<888> 11/01/14 Saturday 10:20 P.M. On Thursday May 25, 2000, I was shot at by a sniper at Tod's Point, and I made note of it in my notes at the time. I might have a hard copy of it somewhere in my files, but the note was deleted by a hacker or intruder over time. I recreated the note to the best of my ability about 11 years later. A copy of the recreated note follows:
On Thursday May 25, 2000, I had my usual medical appointment at 3 P.M.. Afterwards, since it was a nice cool day, I drove over to Old Greenwich to Todd's Point in my 1976 white Volvo 4 door sedan. I saw a teenage boy riding a bicycle with an orange wind breaker, and I also saw a women with Queen Elizabeth's look walking by the wind surfing beach area with a riding crop. I parked behind the bushes at the southwest parking area between 4 and 4:30 P.M.. I walked out to the picnic area, and I sat at a picnic bench watching water fowl on the waterfront. I did not notice any boats on the waterfront. I sat there for about 20 minutes. When I was walking out there, a large chunk of bark fell off a tree limb above the path in front of me. The tree limb was about 12 feet above my head. When I returned back down the pathway, I noticed at the base of that tree, there was a 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch square florescent orange target marker nailed into the base of the tree with a galvanized nail about eight inches off the ground. I suddenly thought that there could be a sniper on the waterfront shooting at me, and they had knocked the bark off the tree limb at that point. I told an undercover Greenwich Police office in the southwest parking area who was chatting with four teenage boys. As I departed the park, I told Reilly the gate attendant. I then stopped by the Riverside Post Office, and I told the postal clerk. I then drove back towards town, and when I was crossing the Indian Field Road Bridge going south bound over the turnpike, a man in a 1954 turquoise blue and dark blue Ford Station wagon with a surf board on the roof and South Carolina license plates waved at me. I had seen the car the previous summer around Greenwich. I told the police baseball team at Bruce Park including the largest police officer. I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I told the desk at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I escorted one of their staff to their car at the bottom of Steamboat Road. I noticed a young blond teenage boy getting off the Indian Harbor Yacht Club launch with a set of golf clubs, which seemed unusual. Technically they could have contained a weapon. I then drove over to Grass Island, and I told several local fishermen at Grass Island. I was told later by one of the veterans with the new laser scopes, "There is No Such Thing as Kentucky Wind Anymore." Which I guess means the new equipment does not miss. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I told the reference librarian. I noticed when driving back home to Byram on West Putnam Avenue that somebody that I know locally whom is suppose to be near blind was walking fast out of the Belle Haven area carrying two large duffle bags in front of the Pray Volkswagen dealership. I know the person is not as blind as he pretends, since I have seen him casually reading his watch dial many times, when people are not watching. I then returned home, and I called the Greenwich Police a few times to report facts as I could remember. At the time there were several rifle shot holes in the No Clamming signs at the southwest picnic area at Todd's Point, which is ample evidence that somebody or sniper was shooting at targets there. Later on that month, the signs were replaced with new signs. During that period John F. Kennedy junior was a frequent jogger at Todd's Point. Nobody ever interviewed me, or paid any attention to my reports. At the time Donald Trump www.trump.com had a house on the Waterfront in Indian Harbor, and I called him up at his office, and I told him what happened. That day was cooler, so as I recall, I was also thinner at about 175 pounds. I recalling wearing my New Zealand Brook Brothers brown leather bomber jacket with my olive green Australian canvas bush hat. I do not recall whether I was wearing blue jeans or not, but I usually dress up for my medical appointment. One local waterfront resident from South Africa told me that the local lobstermen shoot at each other all of the time trying to protect their lobster traps from poaching. Before my medical appointment that day, I had been down on the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I had chatted with a new Greenwich resident from India named Dr. Palai? and he was wearing a black turban, and he was with a younger woman. I only saw him once more after that, and that was at the Japanese restaurant on Greenwich Avenue, when I passed by. Possibly the sniper attempt had something to do with Bhopal disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , since Warren Anderson the president of Union Carbide lived in Greenwich at the time. However, there are a lot of shady Mafiosi characters around the waterfront in Greenwich, Connecticut; so it could have been any of a number of other individuals. There was also a Ku Klux Klan rally in Hartford, Connecticut that weekend. That also would have been around the time there was graduation at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Around that period, there was also an expert big game hunter around the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and as I recall he said he was from Harrison, New York.

While driving by the new www.chase.com bank just west of the Greenwich Library, it is all lighted up like it might be now open, but their web site says not. I went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I said hello to a local Norwegian. I bought buy one get one free of 17.5 ounce Deluxe mixed nuts low salt for $13.79 both.

After I left CVS, I noticed there is new woman's store across the street called "Everything But Water". I then drove through the center of town, and most of all the parking places were full, but there were only a few people walking around on a rainy night. I then returned home, and I picked up the mail. I got my rent statement from the Greenwich Housing Authority, and my rent has not gone up yet. I put away my purchases. CIO
