Michael Louis Scott's Notes November, 2022

11/30/22 Wednesday 2:30 P.M.  Hawaii Volcano https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-63814130

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 1:40 P.M.  I mixed a package of Knorr Teriyaki flavored rice with a 7.5 ounce package of S&B Japanese medium hot curry sauce with vegetables, and I am microwaving it for 14 minutes, and I will eat it in a large Cobalt Blue soup bowl with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with two ounces of grapefruit juice.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 1:05 P.M.  This 2014 Apple Mac Mini for $120 supports the latest Apple operating system, but does not have a SSD drive https://www.ebay.com/itm/155262819905?mkevt=1&toolid=10001&campid=5336250274&siteid=0&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&mkcid=1&customid=n25x33gxe4z77tja6lli9oUSo3aSyxVw

I recall I bought the 2010 Apple MacBook off Ebay about five years ago for about $150.  I put in a SSD drive, and possibly also a new battery. 

I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 12:35 P.M.  On the 2010 MacBook with modified Mojave operating system, one does not install the two patches when one boots it up, or those patches with disable the operating system is modified.  I think the computer originally would only support High Sierra https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253460499 .  I took off Norton Internet Security.  I activated Microsoft Office 2019 which works on it.  I did not install the app updates, since the Apple web site is slow.  I moved it back to the bedroom desk on top of the HP 17.3 inch laptop.  It is all setup.  Its power adapter turns on with the left power strip on the desk.  It holds a full charge.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 11:45 A.M.  I put a 48 inch shelf on the Rubbermaid hamper in the northwest corner of the bedroom, so the 32 inch TV has secure resting place.  I also moved the bedroom desk lamp to that shelf.  I moved the two spare lamps shades on the left bed lamp to on top of the far right lamp in the living room.

I ordered for the Amazon Cube https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Ethernet-Adapter-Fire-Devices/dp/B074TC662N/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2RYTXHM1QPBBN&keywords=amazon+cube+LAN+connector&qid=1669821175&sprefix=amazon+cube+lan+connector%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-3 for $14.99 and .95 tax for $15.94 total. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 10:40 A.M.  I tried to get the LAN wired connector to work off the Amazon cube by changing the LAN cable and by changing its net switches without success.  It still works fine off the apartment wireless though.  I could try a new one of these, but I will hold off for now https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Ethernet-Adapter-Fire-Devices/dp/B074TC662N/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2RYTXHM1QPBBN&keywords=amazon+cube+LAN+connector&qid=1669821175&sprefix=amazon+cube+lan+connector%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-3 .  I went outside.  The HDMI couple is defective on the Samsung TV setup, so I took it off until I get the new ones.  The Amazon Cube is plugged in directly.  I am  now working on the 2010 Apple MacBook Pro that I have modified Mojave on that one does not install the patch on.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 8:20 A.M.  I went outside again.  The Amazon Cube on the Samsung 49 inch television would not work off the LAN, so I reset and updated and configured it to work off the apartment wireless.  It now works just fine.  On the mahogany bureau with the Samsung television one turns it on with the far right switch on the power strip on the far right.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 6:35 A.M.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  On the Samsung 49 inch television, the Amazon Cube is connected on HDMI  2 with an HDMI cable with an HDMI two cable coupler, so the Roku or the small computers can be connected to it on HDMI 2.

I ordered two HDMI couplers https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Connector-Extender-Chromecast-PlayStation/dp/B00A30FELW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1NA20OCXES947&keywords=hdmi+connector&qid=1669807773&sprefix=hdmi+con%2Caps%2C542&sr=8-4 for $7.19 and .46 tax for $7.65 total. 

I will now go outside and drink another brewed coffee.  CIO

11/30/22 Wednesday 4:55 A.M.  I woke up, and I chatted with a friend.  I went outside.  I ate nine Grainfirst multigrain crackers with 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch by 3/32nd inch slices of Cracker Barrel Vermont extra sharp cheddar cheese.  I finally woke  up at 3:15 A.M..  I made my bed.  I went outside.  I picked up the mail.  I will eat a Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg, and cheese sandwich with two toasted English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and pineapple chunks with Mandarin orange slices, and a glass of Primo Vermont spring water with some pineapple juice and cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk.  I  used an HDMI splitter and a long HDMI cable, and I  hooked it up to the living room cable box and Westinghouse TV to the right of the primary work computer, so it now has a clear reception.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/29/22 Tuesday 3:20 P.M.  I went outside again.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed.  CIO  

11/29/22 Tuesday 2:45 P.M.  I mixed a 16 ounce can of Bush's Maple and Cured Bacon baked beans with one drained and sliced 4 ounce can of chicken franks which I seasoned with garlic power, ground black pepper, Italian spices, Lowry's seasoned salt, cayenne peppper, McCormick's garlic seasoning, Frank's hot sauce, soy sauce, and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, and I mixed it all together.  I have put half of it in a microwave proof soup bowl with microwave lid, and I microwaved it for five minutes.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass www.coke.com Zero Sugar.  CIO

11/29/22 Tuesday 2:15 P.M.  On the Vizio TV in the bedroom, the power to the Amazon Fire Stick turns on with the fifth switch back on the far left power strip, and it has to be set to HDMI 2 on the Vizio input selector.

I went outside again.  This is the coat that I gave to my neighbor https://www.theclymb.com/Product.aspx?l=00292439246300000000&p=GEO01238&s=00000 .  I bought it for $50 and $6 shipping from Sierra Trading Post https://www.sierra.com/ in December 2020, and I never wore; because I have so many other winter coats.  It is still available here for $80 https://www.ebay.com/itm/123957928847 .  I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/29/22 Tuesday 12:25 P.M.  On the bathroom television, I switched it to Coaxial, and it works just fine with that.  I took the HDMI cable  off the bathroom television, and I hooked it up to the bedroom Vizio HDMI 1 port, so that television now has a clear cable box picture.  HDMI 2 is the Amazon fire stick.  While doing that I knocked the lower half of the shoe rack off the bedroom door, so I put those shoes on the lower right side of the bed and behind the bedroom door.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO 

11/29/22 Tuesday 10:20 A.M.  Hawaii Volcano erupts https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63783633 CIO

11/29/22 Tuesday 10:10 A.M.  I sorted out the old linens from underneath the bed and from underneath the bedroom desk, and I stored them all underneath the bedroom desk.  I also have a lot of spare wireless keyboards and wireless mice stored underneath the left side of the bedroom desk and the left side of the bed.  I think I have some new wireless keyboard with wireless mice stored underneath the Rubbermaid hamper in the Northwest corner of the bedroom and some new toner cartridges.  In the Rubbermaid hamper I have some cables and bubble wrap.

I chatted with a relative.

I went outside.

11/29/22 Tuesday 7:20 A.M.  I moved the 18 inch Seki TV to the bedroom window to work off the air antenna.  It gets 13 channels.  I moved the Sceptre 20 TV to the bathroom, and it works off HDMI.  It remote control is a little bit buggy , but it does work, and it is a very clear picture.

I made a mistake the 40 inch Polaroid TV order is just for the TV stand, so I am trying to cancel it. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/29/22 Tuesday 5:20 A.M.  I drank my coffee outside.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I took the old Logitech wireless keyboard and wireless mouse off the primary work computer, and I moved it to the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina on the bedroom desk.  I put a new Logitech Wireless Comfort MK 550 wireless mouse and wireless keyboard on the primary work computer.  On the HP 17.3 inch laptop computer on the bedroom desk, I attached a blue Microsoft wireless mouse.  I will now go outside and throw out the Logitech box and drink a brewed coffee.  CIO

11/29/22 Tuesday 3:55 A.M.  I woke up at 3:30 A.M..  I made my bed.  I went outside.  I picked up the mail.  I will eat a Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg, and cheese sandwich with two toasted English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and pineapple chunks with Mandarin orange slices, and a glass of Primo Vermont spring water with some pineapple juice and cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk.  CIO  

11/28/22 Monday 3:15 P.M.  I went outside twice.  I chatted with a friend.  I ate thirteen Grainfirst multigrain crackers with 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch by 3/32nd inch slices of Cracker Barrel Vermont extra sharp cheddar cheese.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will go outside.  I will then go to bed.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 1:40 P.M.  I went downtown to www.cvs.com on Greenwich Avenue, and I picked up a prescription.  I then used the bathroom across the street at the CFCF coffee shop.  I then drove down to the Senior and the Arts Center.  I sat our for a while.  I viewed www.starbucks.com .  I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center.  I then sat out some more.  I spent a dollar parking downtown.  I then went to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought 12 various flavors of Knorr flavor rice mix for $1.50 each, six Chaboni 8 ounce raspberry low sugar yogurt for $1 each, two 8 ounce bars of Tillamnook pepper jack cheese for $3 each, a 32 ounce Borden's Real Lemon juice for $3.79, a 12 ounce Frank's hot sauce for $4.99, and four 4 ounce cans of Hispanic chicken sausage franks for $1.24 each for $43.74 total.  I then returned home.  I sat outside.  I put away my food.  I went outside, and I put the grey bag back in the car, and I drank a brewed coffee.  The order with tracking of https://www.amazon.com/progress-tracker/package/ref=pt_redirect_from_gp?_encoding=UTF8&from=gp&itemId=&orderId=113-1343141-8477040&packageIndex=0&shipmentId=171260509225301 for two packs of two King Size Pillows https://www.amazon.com/dp/glance/B00DUG2MUW?openid.assoc_handle=usamazon&openid.claimed_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fap%2Fid%2Famzn1.account.AFKXB6OF22ASMDEXS7L7T6JCUHSA&openid.identity=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fap%2Fid%2Famzn1.account.AFKXB6OF22ASMDEXS7L7T6JCUHSA&openid.mode=id_res&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&openid.op_endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fap%2Fsignin&openid.response_nonce=2022-11-26T10%3A54%3A57Z-89675871171311104&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2Fglance%2FB00DUG2MUW&openid.signed=assoc_handle%2Cclaimed_id%2Cidentity%2Cmode%2Cns%2Cop_endpoint%2Cresponse_nonce%2Creturn_to%2Cns.pape%2Cpape.auth_policies%2Cpape.auth_time%2Csigned&openid.ns.pape=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Fpape%2F1.0&openid.pape.auth_policies=http%3A%2F%2Fschemas.openid.net%2Fpape%2Fpolicies%2F2007%2F06%2Fnone&openid.pape.auth_time=2022-11-26T10%3A54%3A57Z&openid.sig=k0mPmutYvA7XpV4vi0TQxpgP4zYc1jrzAT3kpqbEaeU%3D&serial=&th=1 for $5.94 each two pack and .76 tax for $12.64 total arrived.  I then moved the HP laser printer on the right side of the bedroom desk to on top of the portable air conditioner on the left side of the bedroom desk.  Thus the bedroom desk ONN 40 inch monitor viewing area is clear.  I filed this report.  I will now go outside again.

11/28/22 Monday 10:00 A.M.  I will now go downtown to forage around on Green Witch Avenue for a brief spell.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 9:25 A.M.  In the bedroom, I moved the two spare Lasko box fans, and boxes of spare light bulbs and Scott toilet paper behind the portable air conditioner.  I took pictures of the Insignia 30 inch television on the Rubbermaid hamper with the HDMI Cable Box and Amazon stick working.  I took a picture of Roku on the 40 inch ONN television on the bedroom desk.  I took a picture of the stuff mentioned behind the portable air conditioner.  I took pictures of the bathroom television setup.  I am charging up the Canon Digital battery. 

I will now go outside again.

11/28/22 Monday 8:25 A.M.  I put the 18 inch Seiki flat screen television in the bathroom.  It will not work off HDMI, but it works just fine off coaxial connector.  I left its remote control in easy reach of the book case on the wall in front of the toilet, so one can "Poop and View."

I will now go outside again and drink a cup of decaf coffee.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 7:35 A.M.  I went outside.   In the bedroom, I put the spare lamp shades in the bedroom on top of the left side bed lamp.  I put the four older laptops and their parts bag underneath the left side of the bed.  I took the 30 inch Insignia television out of the bathroom, and I put it on top of the Rubbermaid hamper in the Northwest corner of the bedroom connected to the Cablevision HDMI cable that I took off the 40 inch ONN television on the bedroom desk.  I have the power connected to a power strip with the Amazon stick plugged into it.  I also have the desk lamp and the Himalayan salt lamp plugged into the power strip.  I plugged in a Roku stick into the ONN 40 inch TV.  I have the three remote controls on top of the HP laser printer on the right side of the desk.  One has to turn on the white power strip to turn the 30 inch Insignia television with the remote control.  Now one can work on the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina or the HP 17.3 inch I 5 laptop with Windows 10 on the desk and look to the right and watch clear cable television from the bedroom cable box.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 6:15 A.M.  I mixed a package of Knorr chicken and broccoli flavored rice with a 7.5 ounce package of S&B Japanese medium hot curry sauce with vegetables, and I am microwaving it for 14 minutes two minutes longer, and I will eat it in a large Cobalt Blue soup bowl with a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with two ounces of grapefruit juice.  CIO

!!!!!! 11/28/22 Monday 5:55 A.M.  When I was outside, I chatted with my neighbor who was walking his dog.  This morning at 12:30 A.M., when he was walking his dog at the North End of the building the Yorki spotted what looked like to my neighbor as a Carolina or Texas Red wolf, when in the past I have seen at that location twice.  My neighbor has also seen it twice in the woods by the picnic tables.  When I research it in the past, the internet said it can take down a cow, and it has been coming North with Global Warming, and it likes marshy areas like the Byram River.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 5:05 A.M.  I shut down the bedroom desk Mac Mini setup. 

Old people with bad vision need big monitors.  I bought a new 40 inch Polaroid TV https://www.ebay.com/p/222466989 for $39.95 and $14.95 shipping and $3.49 tax for $58.39 total.  For a backup big screen monitor, it has three HDMI ports and a VGA port.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 4:05 A.M.  I moved the Google Dot from the bathroom to the kitchen on top of the small electric oven.  It works just fine.  On the Apple Mac Mini on the bedroom desk, I was able to hook up the HP laser printer with a USB splitter.  It works just fine.  I am now installing the app updates on the bedroom Mac Mini.

I will now go outside and drink a brewed peppermint tea with Splenda sweetener and lemon juice.

11/28/22 Monday 3:00 A.M.  I took the Roku device off the 40 inch ONN TV in the bedroom, and I put it on the bathroom television with its remote control in front of the bathroom television.  I moved the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina from the Westinghouse monitor computer setup on the right side of the primary work computer, and I set it up on the bedroom desk connected to the 40 inch ONN TV.  To use the HP laser printer on the mahogany bureau with it, one has to disconnect the web cam or head set on the Mac Mini.  Since the power to the bedroom desk is control by the far right power strip, I will leave it turned on, so the bedroom desk cordless telephone works and the two wireless routers beaming wireless to the front of the building will work.  Those wireless routers also provide the LAN for Vizio 40 inch television in the bedroom.

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 2:00 A.M.  I went outside again.

11/28/22 Monday 1:05 A.M.  Also I was told in the winters of 1977 and 1978, when they were rebuilding the Casa Marina, the property along the waterfront in Key West is just leased from the United States government, and at anytime the United States government wants to take it over, they can commandeer it.  CIO

11/28/22 Monday 12:55 A.M.  I rested until 12:15 A.M..  I went outside twice.  Lots of jets are returning to the nearby Westchester County airport, so I guess people are returning from their Holiday. 

I guess their are no night owls around the Southern Most Hotel https://casamarinaresort.com/webcam/

When I was last down there in February 1982, when it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit below zero in Manhattan after Mount St. Helens erupted on May 8, 1980, it was quite busy in Cayo Hueso with all of the people escaping the severe cold up North.  There were a number of tall men down there with beards that possibly had flown down to Homestead Air Force Base from the Dew Line where they worked for the NORAD Air Defense Command.  Also the Army Rangers were on maneuvers in the Dry Tortugas, and there were three Destroyers moored right off the Casa Marina, so I guess the Military also uses it as a Warm Weather resort like Hawaii.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 8:55 P.M.  Beside the local Rockefeller family being in the oil business, I also know numerous other people in the oil business in my travels, and I even knew some Saudi Arabians.  Alas, I do not travel that much anymore, so the price of fuel does not effect me too much anymore.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 8:20 P.M.  I chatted with a relative. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 6:40 P.M.  I chatted with a friend.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  Back in the winter of 1978, when John Bolton and myself were living at the Casa Marina Hotel under reconstruction, we used to clean up at the Key Lyme Motel showers.  The owner of the Key Lyme Motel on Truman Street looked like Nelson Rockefeller, and he did mind us using their shower facility with hot water.  I have met a number of people that looked like Nelson Rockefeller over the years, so I guess he had a network of decoys around the country.  I was in school at Greenwich Country Day with various Rockefeller family members and also at Lake Forest College and the Taft School, so they have a large group of friends in this area.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 5:25 P.M.  I woke up and ate nine Grainfirst multigrain crackers with 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch by 3/32nd inch slices of Cracker Barrel Vermont extra sharp cheddar cheese.  I finally woke up at 5 P.M..  I made my bed.  I went outside.  I will eat a Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg, and cheese sandwich with two toasted English muffins with Smart Balance spread, and pineapple chunks with Mandarin orange slices, and a glass of Primo Vermont spring water with some pineapple juice and cranberry juice and a cup of coffee with artificial sweetener and almond milk.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 7:05 A.M.  I went outside.  I watched off Netflix episode 1 of, "Blood Sex and Royalty."  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will go outside.  I will then go to bed.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 5:35 A.M.  I am about to eat a 10.5 ounce Stauffer's lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese, a 10 ounce Green Giant microwave creamed spinach, a baked potato with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.  CIO

11/27/22 Sunday 4:55 A.M.  I will now go outside and drink a cup of Tropical Passion tea with Splenda sweetener and lemon juice.  CIO

11/26/22 Saturday 9:25 A.M.  The Acer Aspire R 11 has all of its Windows 11 Rufus updates installed, and it works just fine.  I put it away on top of the laptop stack on the right side of the oak dining table.  It holds a 100% battery charge.  It also has a licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2019 on it.  It works faster than when new, since I installed a 120 GB SSD drive in it a couple of years ago.  It hardly has ever been used.  It also has a touch screen, and it reverse folds like a tablet.

I basically have checked out and updated all of the desktop and laptop computers in the apartment except the four older laptops on the Rubbermaid hamper in the northwest corner of the bedroom.  I still have ten Microsoft Surface RTs that are fully configured with Windows 10, but they do not update.  CIO

11/26/22 Saturday 5:25 A.M.  About Christmas 2017, I got a $300 insurance check from Allstate Insurance, when a neighbor broke the tail light on my 2005 Volvo XC 70 wagon.  I used it to buy from Microsoft a new Acer Aspire R 11 laptop for $300 which I have hardly ever used.  A couple of years ago, I put a SSD drive in it which involves removing about fifteen tiny screws.  I am not sure if I have replaced the battery, but it seems to be charging.  I have Windows 11 Rufus installed on it to work with a slower laptop.  I just installed and activated Norton 360 Internet Security.  I am now installing the Windows 11 updates.  It has a activated copy of Microsoft Office 2019 on it.  Although it is an older slower laptop, it still good for slower routines like word processing and web browsing.  I went outside once.  I will now go outside again.  This past year, I bought a replacement tail light for my Volvo XC 70 off Ebay, and I paid Stamford Volvo about $200 to install it along with other costly repairs.  CIO

11/26/22 Saturday 4:00 A.M.  I finished updating the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina on the right side of the primary work computer.  At the moment, I can update its apps though.  Office 365 and Skype work on it just fine.  CIO

I will now go outside and drink a cup of Ginger Peach tea with Splenda sweetener and lemon juice. 

Nobody was ever interested in my very advanced computer situation room.  Maybe now that it is colder, somebody used to warmer conditions like a warm apartment might be used to it.  However, at age 72, I am not fit to sit out in the cold for long periods like I used to.  CIO

11/26/22 Saturday 2:15 A.M.  On the Samsung television, I shut down the Apple Mac Mini with High Sierra, and I disconnected the HDMI cable, and I connected it to the Amazon Cube again on HDMI 2.  At the far end of the oak dining table with the Polaroid TV monitor, I started up the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina, and I am now installing the Catalina update on it.  It has Microsoft 365 activated on it too.  I have another Apple Mac Mini with Catalina on the Westinghouse TV monitor setup to the right of the primary work computer along with the Apple Mac Mini late 2014 with the latest Apple operating system connected to the primary work computer setup.  I  have four Windows 11 desktops, two Windows 11 towers, and along with the Apple Mac Mini with Catalina attached to the Polaroid 32 inch TV monitor that I bought from www.target.com for $80 several Christmases ago.  CIO

11/25/22 Friday 5:30 A.M.  I shut down the Dell I 7 tower computer at the far end of the oak dining table.  It all seems to be running fine.  On its wireless bluetooth headset, one has to pair it, and if it does not pair, one unplugs its USB plug at the top of the desktop and then plugs it in.  One has to also turn it on with the very little button on the ear piece.  It should be fully charged.  The computer also has a Microsoft USB wired headset attached to it, if one is not roaming around.

11/23/22 Wednesday 9:00 A.M.  The Apple Imac that I moved from the bedroom desk to the far end of the oak dining table on the shoe rack seat is working just fine from the external SSD hard drive too.

I took some pictures of the recent changes in the apartment.

11/23/22 Wednesday 8:00 A.M.  I went outside, and I hung out with three deer.  I chatted with a friend.  I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I finished setting up the Apple Imac on the shoe seat.  I am now replicating its internal hard drive to an external SSD drive, so I have the option of booting it faster instead of the slower internal IDE drive by booting it with the ALT key pressed on the Windows keyboard and selecting the second external SSD drive boot option.

Thus the Apple Imac on the shoe seat holds a new installation from the Time Machine restore of the original install. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/23/22 Wednesday 6:20 A.M.  I am about to eat a 11.5 ounce Stauffer's Swedish meatballs with a medium large baked potato with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.  CIO

11/23/22 Wednesday 5:45 A.M.  On the Apple Imac on the shoe stand, I restored the original Time Machine backup from the original install.  I activated Microsoft Office 2019 on it.  I am now installing Norton Internet Security 360 on it.  I will then install the Apple Catalina updates.

In the bedroom, I installed the updates on the Vizio television.  I took the bedroom cable box HDMI cable off of it, and I installed on the ONN 40 inch television on the bedroom desk, so it has clear reception.  I also connected the HP 17.3 inch laptop to it.  I still have the living room cable HDMI cable connected to the Vizio television in the bedroom. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/23/22 Wednesday 3:50 A.M.  I messed up on the Apple Imac on the shoe rack.  In trying to make an SSD image of it to the external hard drive, I accidentally deleted the internal hard drive image.  I am now restoring that internal hard drive image from the time machine backup of the other Apple Imac.  I will then have to go through the process updating the Apple Imac on the shoe rack again. 

From the northwest corner of the bedroom, I moved the ONN 40 inch television to the back side of the bedroom desk.  It is only hooked up with a coaxial cable, so it is not as clear. 

I will now go outside and drink a cup of Ginger tea.  CIO

11/23/22 Wednesday 2:10 A.M.  More Mickey Magic.  On the shoe rack on the far right of the oak dining table, I moved the Acer Windows 11 laptop to the right side floor of the Queen Anne chair at the hallway entrance.  I moved the HP 17.3 I 5 laptop and its accessories to the bedroom desk all setup.  I move the Gateway 17.3 inch laptop that over heats to underneath the Queen Anne chair in front of the windows.  I moved the Apple Imac and its accessories to on top of the shoe bench at the right side of the oak dining table close enough to the Queen Anne chair, so one can use it easily sitting from there.  I  updated and activated Norton 360 on it.  I activated Microsoft Office 2019 on it.  I am now installing the Apple Catalina OS update on it.  It is close to the Xerox laser printer at the left side of the hallway entrance that it can be used with it.  However, I have a picture of King Charles and Queen Camila on the Xerox laser printer in front of a small fan which would have to be moved.  The light on the left of the Queen Anne chair at the hallway entrance lights up its keyboard. 

I will now go out side.  CIO

11/22/22 Tuesday 6:50 P.M.  Before going to bed, I discovered I had a 25 foot LAN cable, so I hooked up the wireless device in the kitchen again.  Some times the wireless signal from the kitchen reaches outside to the picnic table.  CIO

11/22/22 Tuesday 5:30 A.M.  I watched off Netflix, "Enola Holmes 2."  I went outside twice, and the last time, I drank a Peppermint tea with Splenda sweetener and lemon juice.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go outside, and then I will go to bed.  CIO

11/22/22 Tuesday 2:15 A.M.  I went outside again.  Although from June 1984 to January 1989, I lived in a studio apartment at 700 Steamboat Road, and I covered that road continually until about two years ago, I figure today it is ten miles round trip from my apartment in Byram to the bottom of Steamboat Road which is about $5 in gasoline.  However, it is a good way to keep the car battery charged up.  My stepfather who was a world class sailor used to live in Indian Harbor where President Trump once lived, and although my step father never knew anything about computers, he knew Thomas Watson Jr. of www.ibm.com all of his life, and they used to sail together.  My stepfather's family donated the property to the Presbyterian Church in New Canaan, where Thomas Watson Sr. also lived, so maybe that is the connection.  I know he started Putnam Travel at Putnam Trust here in Greenwich, so he and my mother traveled extensively.  He also summered in Kennebunkport his entire life, so besides Greenwich that is how he knew the Bush Walker family.  Also I know is after Princeton class of 1936 in Larry Rockefeller's class, he worked on the www.forbes.com Yacht in the Mediterranean, and he also worked in the Pentagon as a Civilian during World War II.  In his house, he had a military uniform, but I do not know whom it belonged to.  His family were also Scottish, and a relative of his family in Canada kept track of all of the Scottish families in America.  CIO

11/22/22 Tuesday 1:25 A.M.  I am about to eat a 13.5 ounce Marie Callender chicken fettuccini with broccoli and grated parmesan and Romano cheese with a medium baked potato with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of Fresca with three ounces of grapefruit juice.  CIO

I will now go outside and drink a brewed cup of coffee.  Living near www.ibm.com  in Armonk, New York; one can always find something to keep one busy, even though they are expert at ignoring me, since I am not in the market for a super computer main frame.  I no longer have to drive up the Microsoft OS betas to them.  CIO

11/21/22 Monday 11:05 P.M.  I took the old Sceptre 20 inch television from the kitchen, and I put it in the bedroom window hooked up the over the air digital antenna.  It gets about 13 channels including CBS.  On the bedroom desk to used any of the devices there, one has to turn on the far right power strip which they are all connected to.  I left the Sceptre 20 inch television remote control in front of it.  I keep the over the air digital antenna in case the cablevision fails.  Back in 1974 for a couple of months, I used friends' apartment on West 20th street, and they had a 1950s black and white television which I fixed with a tube from the 24 hour TV repair shop next to the Ninth Circle.  One of the apartment's two renters had worked for Fred Hughes who was involved with Andy Warhol in the art business.  There were two major leather bars in the neighborhood with televisions that showed swirling lines.  That was near the maintenance terminals for the garbage trucks and the Port Authority bus repair, and back then it was a working waterfront with the meat packing district on West 14th Street.  In Key West in 1978, Jimmy Eldert's apartment across the street from the Catholic Church, he had a pad of CBS stationary, but no television.  Maybe he was in their music division, since later in 1980, he was a disk jockey at the Catholic Church radio station in Santa Cruz, California that broadcast over entire area including Fort Ord.   

I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/21/22 Monday 10:10 P.M.  So I can reconnect the Ethernet to the outdoor wireless device in the kitchen, I ordered a 25 foot Lan cable https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-RJ45-Cat-6-Ethernet-Patch-Cable-25-Feet-7-6-Meters/dp/B00N2VIWPY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3C476IXT4SGYG&keywords=25+foot+lan+cable&qid=1669082651&sprefix=25+foot+lan%2Caps%2C586&sr=8-3 for $8.82 and .56 tax for $9.38 total.

50 inch Hisense 4K TV $230 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WQJPWWY/?creative=9325&camp=1789&tag=dealnewscom&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ascsubtag=5f5wzo1xm856whja6lliPUU8GVeiwXzY Back in 1973, when I worked at www.cbsnews.com as a clerk typist for $85 a week before taxes, and I lived at the St. James resident room for $35 a week, I did not even own a television.  I would watch three televisions opposite my office at CBS on West 57th Street.  There was a pub on West 9th Street called the Ninth Circle where some of the younger CBS people frequented, and they had a jute box.  Back from December 1980 to February 1982, when I lived at 315 West 74th Street, there was a video bar on Greenwich Street in Greenwich Village called Uncle Charlie's that showed free video and music.  Next to the Ninth Circle, there was a 24 hours TV repair shop too.  Out in Greenwich we had an old RCA color television that was expensive to keep repairs.  In the Winter of 1979, when I lived in Port Washington, Long Island we had a 13 inch black and white television with Rabbit ears.  From April 1982 to February 1983, when I built the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island; there was a ten inch RCA black and white television in the kitchen.  That was near Manhasset, Long Island where Bill Paley of www.cbs.com lived.  From October 1973 to February 1975, when I lived at Fred Von Mierers' apartment at 420 East 49th Street, he had a little eight inch Sony black and white television.  Back in 1983, when I lived on Hussey Street at the Grennon's guest house basement bunk room, I had an old black and white television with lousy cable that only had, "No Times for Sergeants", "Our Miss Brooks", and "Old Susana" on www.nantucket.net original cable system.  I never ever watched a television on my five visits to California from 1978 to 1980.  When I was at the Hyatt at Lahaina in August 1980, they had "Hawaii Five O" on their television.  With the internet there is so much television media today, it is confusing to know what to watch.  I used to see Walter Cronkite walking on Sutton Place, where he lived, and he was also a member of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club next to where I used to live at 700 Steamboat Road, where I bought a $89 rabbit ear Samsung color television from Woolworths on Greenwich Avenue.  The family friend that got me the job at CBS used to pay $200,000 a year property taxes on his house on the waterfront in the Riverside section of Greenwich, and at the time he was President of the CBS division Creative Play Things and later President of Radio Shack.

11/21/22 Monday 8:25 P.M.  I went outside, and I drank my coffee.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I am not going out as much at night, because with the higher price of fuel, my neighbors are not going out at night, so our parking lot is always filled up, and I would lose my parking spot.

I took pictures of the new television setup in the kitchen.

11/21/22 Monday 8:15 A.M.  I gave a neighbor some Aleve head ache pills.  I went outside.  I took the old television out of the kitchen along with the Phillips DVD player.  I moved this new television that I bought on August 28, 2022 from the bedroom wall https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-32-class-f20-series-led-hd-smart-fire-tv/6447531.p?skuId=6447531 , and I installed it in the kitchen with an Ethernet connection besides coaxial and a Amazon Fire Stick and a Roku device.  I also attached it to a 2.1 sound system.  It works quit fine.  I had to take its legs off to fit underneath the kitchen cabinet.  On the control panel, of the four switches besides the power switch, the far right switch is for the television, the second from the right is for the sound system, the far left is the Roku device, and the second from the left is the Amazon fire stick.  Since it is smart TV connected to the internet, it does more.  I had a wire on the back of the television, and I used a hook to connect that wire to the speaker woofer behind it to stabilize the television without the legs.  I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/21/22 Monday 6:20 A.M.  I cancelled the Vizio TV.  CIO

11/21/22 Monday 4:05 A.M.  I gave a neighbor a spare unused black winter parka that I bought on sale a couple of years ago for less than $40. 

I will now go outside again.  CIO 

11/21/22 Monday 3:20 A.M.  Three police cars were here, and the distressed neighbor attacked another neighbor.  They took the distressed neighbor away in hand cuffs.  There is more damage to the post office room bathroom, the east side hallway, and the community room; besides the damage to the hallway near the front entry way.  The post office bathroom wall looks like it was staffed over fifty times with knife.  The neighbor that was attacked had their hair pulled out, and they were the ones that finally called the police.  There were four police calls on Saturday for the same distressed neighbor.  CIO

11/21/22 Monday 2:25 A.M.  I ordered open box Vizio 1080 p 24 inch https://www.bestbuy.com/site/vizio-24-class-d-series-full-hd-smart-tv/6510151.p?skuId=6510151 and https://www.vizio.com/en/tv/d-series/D24f-J09 for $96.99 and $6.16 tax for $103.15 total.

11/20/22 Sunday 2:20 A.M.  From underneath the kitchen chair, I moved the five cans of Bush's baked beans and the seven cans of Campbell's onion soup to the bookcase at the kitchen entrance.  From underneath the left side of the primary work computer, I moved the four cans of Hormel Dinty Moore stew to the bookcase at the kitchen entrance.  From underneath the left side of the primary work computer, I moved the four bags of Pennsylvania Dutch egg noodles and the five boxes of Barilla shell noodles to underneath the kitchen chair.  From underneath the left of the primary work computer, I threw out five 48 ounce containers of expired Quaker one minute oatmeal.  This past morning, when I emptied out the expired can items from the bookcase at the kitchen entrance, I threw out all of the expired Campbell's soups and expired Armour Vienna sausages.  Thus none of the food in the apartment should be expired now, except maybe some dehydrated dry food.  CIO

11/19/22 Saturday 11:40 P.M.  I put a new set of flannel sheets on my bed.  I started two loads of wash, and I have 25 minutes to go on the wash cycles.  I went outside.  CIO 

11/19/22 Saturday 10:20 P.M.  I went out to the Stop and Shop at 161 West Putnam Avenue.  I returned an empty 5 gallon Poland Spring bottle for a refund ticket.  I bought a six pack of Stop and Shop multigrain English muffins for $3, four 8 ounce Cracker Barrel Vermont extra sharp cheddar cheese for $2.50 each, two 14.5 ounce Boston Market Salisbury steak meals for $3 each and a 8 pack of Jimmy Dean sausage, egg, and cheese croissants for $11.69 for $30.69 total.  I then drove down the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and back uptown and back home my way.  I put away the groceries.  I went outside, and I put the grey bag back in the car, and I drank a brewed coffee.  I picked up the mail.  I filed this report.  I will now go outside again.  CIO

11/19/22 Saturday 8:25 A.M.  I ate a 9 ounce Hormel Completes Swedish meatballs with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com Zero Sugar.  I have mentioned before on Thanksgiving Days in 1976, it was 21 degrees Fahrenheit at 7 A.M. in the morning according to the bank sign next to the Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale.  I just remembered before that Christmas 1976, the Catholic Church in Fort Lauderdale gave me $10, so I drove back down to Key West in my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne, and I wandered around looking at a lot of Poinsettia Plants for decoration.  I recall sitting briefly in Southern Cross Hotel lobby watching CNN on the lobby television.  I then returned to Fort Lauderdale for New Years, and shortly there after, they towed my car for too many parking tickets at the park next to the Swimming Hall of Fame, so I hitch hiked back down to Key West with a ditty bag with an www.army.mil poncho, where I slept outside in various places including underneath the annex of St. Luke's Episcopal church.  I got a post card from Jimmy Eldert at General Delivery saying he was coming down there from the University of New Hampshire, and when he showed up, he got a job at the Pier House restaurant as a bus boy, and he put me up in a friend's trailer next to the Boca Chica annex.  By that time having been on the road since I left Greenwich in the third week of September 1976, I was used to being outside homeless.  I recall that Christmas in Key West, every one ignored me, although I did know Rob Glore from Lake Forest, Illinois where I went to college whose mother was from the DuPont family, so he was established owning a craft shop in Key West across from the Post Office and next to the electric company office which also housed the Scottish Rite Masons of which my grandfather Scott was a 33rd degree mason.  Maybe, since I was a bit tanned living around the beach, nobody recognized me.  Well that is all ancient history.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will go outside.  I will then go to bed.  CIO

11/19/22 Saturday 7:55 A.M.  I threw out about fifty pounds of expired old canned goods.  CIO

Think about it, "Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Blast Off."  So much for the Space Force.  If one got around to watching the eight episodes of, "Ancient Apocalypses," off Netflix, it says in the last episode every 12,500 years the Plant Earth which I think we live on passes through a lot of comets some of which hit it, and caused the severe weather changes which happened 12,500 years ago.  Thus the Planet Earth is back in that same cycle again after 12,500 years.  Of course that might not be an absolute figure, it is based on interpretation of ancient ruins, and I think carbon dating.

we use to nibble on fresh shrimp which was only five pounds for a dollar.  My father had five thousand www.navy.mil wives working for him at the plant too.  When we lived in Decatur, Alabama from 1956 to 1962 where my father was the manager for the Chemstrand Acrilan plant there, we would eat a few times at https://bigbobgibson.com/ which was cooked with real hickory wood.   We also use to serve guest Armour Vienna franks cooked in Pillsbury biscuit dough.  Also down there www.mcdonalds.com hamburgers were only thirteen cents.  When we moved up North to this area in 1962, we ate a lot of home cooked hamburgers, but at the Greenwich Country Club mixed grill, a really good gas grill hamburger was only $2.  When we lived in the Boston area for four years, Elsie's sandwich shop off www.harvard.edu Square was only $1.79 for a roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll with Russian dressing and Bermuda onion.  They also had Durgan Park near the Callaway tunnel on Boston Harbor where a big thick slice of roast beef was only $7.  At the same time, while I attended https://www.lakeforest.edu/ McDonalds cheeseburgers were only fifteen cents and so were the French Fries.  I would also eat breakfast at Jim Mitchell's restaurant consisting of three eggs over easy, with sausage, bacon, home fries, pan cakes with syrup, toast, orange juice, and coffee for $2.50 and .50 tip.  Thus they eat better in the Midwest.  I did not eat much at the College cafeteria, because Sabos catering over cooked the food.  When I lived in Europe in the winter and spring of 1972, meals were only about $2 to $3.  When I moved back East in 1973, meals in New York City were only about $2 or $3.  I also worked at Boodles restaurant as a waiter in Greenwich, where a steak was only about $7.  In Nantucket which I first visited in the summer of 1968 until I moved off in December 1983, food was not too expensive, particularly since I worked in restaurants.  However, back then at the A&P a roast beef sandwich was $7 there.  Henry's sandwich shop where I also worked briefly in their bakery had sandwiches for about $3.  They do not allow fast food restaurants out on Nantucket.  When I was at Lake Forest College, I had worked my way up in the food business to where the Armour meat packing family lived in Lake Bluff, Illinois.  Also the Swift and Cudahay and the original McDonalds' investors lived there.  When I left the Lake Forest area in the fall of 1972 with Hurley Harris Haywood to drive down to Jacksonville, Florida, his grandmother Mrs. Hurley lived in Oak Brook, Illinois on a 250 acre estate near where McDonalds was first headquartered.  In Illinois, there seems to be a McDonalds at every highway exit.  When I last visited Illinois for my father's funeral in 1989, at O'Hare airport, there was somebody at the information counter there that looked like Dan Qualye, and he told me working there was better than working at McDonalds, so thus I am running my own information web site in Greenwich, Connecticut around all of the World's visiting population that seem to show up here with all of the International companies around here.  On my last time I visited Europe for the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France; the only time I ever ate at McDonalds in my five trips to Europe was at the McDonalds in Geneva, Switzerland, were two small hamburgers with a small French Fries and coffee was $20.  At the same time, a six ounce Delmonico steak at the John Bull steak house there was a hundred dollars, so I guess beef is a lot more expensive in Europe, since the Netherlands it has to come all of the way from Argentina.  In my two periods of living in Manhattan from October 1973 to February 1985 and from December 1980 until to February 1982, when in 1974, I lived for three months in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, I used to walk by the Meat Packing district on West 14th Street all of the time where I saw whole sides of beef hanging on hooks waiting to be butchered.  Somewhere in that time, McDonalds started building restaurants in the New York City area.  As I recall on West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, McDonalds has always been there, since I moved into this area in 1962.  I will now go outside again.  When I was homeless and starving in Fort Lauderdale in the fall and winter of 1976 and 1977, there were a lot of McDonalds in Fort Lauderdale, but they would not hire people without a fixed address.  In the fall of 1977 until February 1978, I did work as a dishwasher at the best French restaurant in Florida, at Le Vielle Maison in Boca Raton, where meals were $200 Prix Fixed, but I only earned $2 an hour like in Nantucket, so I camped out on the beach there.  In Key West, nobody would ever hire me, since the locals took all of the jobs, so one ended up walking around homeless starving without any purpose.  When I met John Bolton in the winter of 1978 in Key West, he did have $1,500 cash, and he told me he was the architect on the Casa Marina Hotel project, since he had the key to the hotel where we lived, I tended to believe him, despite the two hundred six toed stray cats there.  CIO

11/14/22 Monday 11:25 P.M..  I mixed a 16 ounce can of Bush's Maple and Cured Bacon baked beans with two drained and sliced 4 ounce cans of Armour Vienna franks which I seasoned with garlic power, ground black pepper, Italian spices, Lowry's seasoned salt, cayenne peppper, McCormick's garlic seasoning, Frank's hot sauce, soy sauce, and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, and I mixed it all together.  I have put half of it in a microwave proof soup bowl with microwave lid, and I microwaved it for five minutes.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass www.coke.com Zero Sugar.  CIO

11/14/22 Monday 10:45 P.M..  I ordered a case of Mandarin oranges https://www.amazon.com/Del-Monte-Mandarin-Oranges-Light/dp/B07GH72SPW/ref=sr_1_33?crid=1K3B3FAX30F3B&keywords=mandarin+oranges&qid=1668483275&sprefix=mandarin+oranges%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-33 for $17.63.
