Note: <888> 08/30/08 Saturday 4:05 A.M.  After dinner, I watched the movie, Apocalypse Now (1979) .  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I also ate 10 dried apricots.  Instead of bowls of low fat Cheez-its, I might lose some weight snacking on them.  Bon Soir.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 11:30 P.M.  I moved the power adapter and the AT&T wireless Go phone to the telephone tea table.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 11:20 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went downtown, and I sat out for a while.  I chatted with a couple of locals.  I found a half pack of Marlboro regulars at the post office plaza.  I then went by the Greenwich Train station, and I picked up my relative and the friend.  I then brought them back to my apartment to pick up the family car, and they departed.  They will drop it off late Monday afternoon or evening for other relatives traveling to pick it up, and it will be gone for the season.  I gave the half pack of Marlboros to a neighbor who was out of cigarettes.  I then went back downtown wearing my new shoes which are quite comfortable, and 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 bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I stopped by CVS, and I bought eight 16 ounce containers of Sunsweet dried apricots for $2.50 each for $20 total.  I then finished my walk.  There were light sprinkles.  I then went by the Chase Bank ATM machine on Mason Street.  I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon station next to the Greenwich Library, and I bought $19 of self service premium gasoline at $4.319 a gallon for 4.400 gallons for 45.9 miles driving since August 19, 2008 with odometer reading of 61028 for 10.4318 miles per gallon driving in heavy local traffic at less than 30 miles per hour with the air conditioner set at 66 degrees Fahrenheit.  Well, it seems in the last month gasoline has come down 70 cents a gallon anyway, but my income has not gone up.  I chatted with a relative of the station employee from Madrid, Spain about Florida.  I then returned home.  I put away the apricots.  I took the power strip off the wall outlet behind the hallway bookcase, and I connected it to the power strip underneath the telephone tea table to the right of the recliner.  Thus there are three outlets there, if one wanted to use laptop computers at the oak dining table, and there is also wireless in the apartment, if you know how to turn it one.  There is also an available LAN cable by the power strips.  I moved the small lamp from beside the French reproduction chair to above the telephone tea table, so there is a bit of light to read the LCD screen on the 2 line Panasonic corded telephone.  I also moved the Panasonic two line cordless 5.8 GHZ telephone from the Northgate Syntax computer table to the telephone tea table.   I had earlier moved the small DVD player with its power adapter to the right hallway bookcase.  I put the two small back packs in the false ceiling above the bed along with a couple of empty larger thermos jugs, I use to keep for emergency water.   I also have the two U.S. Army www.army.mil extreme cold weather to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit sleeping bags stored there, and I will once again put them out on the end of the far end of the sofa this winter with comforters to have available for emergency warmth should we lose our electric heat.  I will now make and eat the same dinner as the last two nights.  CIO         

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 5:40 P.M.  I chatted with some neighbors.  I chatted with a relative.  My relative called, and will arrive at the Greenwich train station at 6:58 P.M..  I ate a baloney and cheese sandwich with 1/3rd of 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle potato chips and a dill pickle slice with a glass of watered down passion punch.  I chatted with another relative.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go out for a bit of time downtown, before I pick up my relative.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 3:50 P.M.  I woke up at noon today.  I watched the John McCain speech www.johnmccain.com speech announcing his running mate of a woman governor Palin from Alaska.  I chatted with a relative.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk, a toasted English muffin with butter, and a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I did not eat a banana with the oatmeal, since they are not yet ripe enough to peel.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I threw out the garbage, and I chatted with neighbors.  I checked the family car to make sure it starts, when my relative arrives.  It only has a fourth of a tank of gasoline, so my relative will have to fill up the tank.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I chatted with two friends.  I went outside.  They have put new sod on the baseball field in the back yard, and it looks to be quite a professional job.  As a neighbor says watching the Greenwich, Connecticut RTM on television is like watching grass grow, so they speeded up things around here by using sod.  In the old days, when www.princeton.edu  was less busy, they use have large sod farms to keep the campus green.  CIO     

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 5:25 A.M.  I ate 10 dried apricots.

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 4:15 A.M.  I paid my bills for www.verizon.com , www.cablevision.com for Optimum Online Boost, Digital Cable Television, and Optimum Voice Long Distance telephone service, and www.cl-p.com electricity.  I ordered from www.ordersmokesdirect.com five cartons of King Mountain Ultra Lights 100s in a box for $15.99 a carton and $14.48 shipping for $94.43 total.  I will now go through my email.  CIO 

Note: <888> 08/29/08 Friday 3:40 A.M.  After the last note, I rearrange the apartment a bit.  I basically moved the 54 inch diameter oak table out from the living room kitchen wall towards the center of the living room, and I moved the small computer table against the wall.  This involved quite a bit of detail that I will not go in.  The Brother All Purpose machine is now sitting on the speaker behind the small computer table.  The two telephones that were at the apartment entrance are now on a tea table to the right of the of the Northgate Syntax computer.  I disconnected for now the HP Photosmart all purpose printer, and I put it on the Visioneer scanner in the bedroom.  I set up the table with four place settings and bric-a-brac.  I only have the three oak chairs at the table with more room around them, but one could swing the computer swivel chair around for a fourth chair.  I put place mats, vases, and candelabras on the table too.  However, I also have to eat at it, and keep some of my daily work items on it, so it is not as neat as it could be if one were formal dining.  I waxed the table too.  I also vacuumed the areas that I moved items around in.  There is only one small table at the French reproduction chair now with the telephone on top of the small television.  I also threw out two old HP laser cartridges.  I also used a plastic cutting board to prop up the lower left LCD monitor on the primary Vista computer, so it is aligned with the other LCD monitors.  I propped it up with a steak knife wedged in between the control panels and the IBM Home Director box which was the right size on the CPU with the other side resting on the small computer table.  To add paper to the Brother all purpose machine, I would have to pull out the small computer table, and that would also mean moving the lower left LCD monitor, and if I moved the CPU, it would be the same.  However, the overall effect in the apartment it much better, and more user friendly.  I might have to tweak it some more in the following days.  I will now pay my first of the month bills.  CIO 

Note: <888> 08/28/08 Thursday 9:30 P.M.  I woke up during the early morning, and I ate 13 dried apricots.  I then finally got up at 11 A.M. this morning, when I had a computer magazine telephone call.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with butter, and a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.

The order for tracking is UPS: Tracking Information on the order for size 9 1/2,  Mitre Fly 77 Classic Shoes - White with 20% off coupon code "WEB20TODAY" for $17.98 and $5 ground shipping for $22.98 total was misdirected and refused at the Valley Road Post Office.  I called up UPS, and I got back to them this evening, and they are going to deliver the shoes tomorrow.  I also called www.kolhs.com to make sure the latest order is delivered to my apartment and not a level 2 delivery to the post office which the Valley Road post office claims they do not accept deliveries from UPS.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went to my usual Thursday 3 P.M. appointment.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop.  I bought a black iron grill stand about 4 inches high with 7 square inch grill rack for $2 and a 14 inch diameter stainless steel Italian made pizza plate with a four inch high stainless steel stand for $5 for $7 total.  Both of which could be used in the Sharp Convection Microwave oven.  I then went downtown, and I walked upper Greenwich Avenue first.  I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and they have my same Sharp Convection Microwave oven for $475 plus 6% Connecticut sales tax which matches the cheapest price on the internet.  I bought a Weber Charcoal Grate for a 18.5 inch Weber grill which is actually about 14 inches in diameter for $7.99 and .48 tax for $8.47 total.  It can be use with the other stands or put on a Pyrex pie plate to have a higher elevated baking surface in the Sharp Convection Microwave Oven for more even convection baking.  They have a larger stoneware round pizza pan there for $20.  I then went by the Complete Kitchen Gourmet cookware shop, but they did not have anything I needed.  I then finished my walk of upper Greenwich Avenue, and I stopped by briefly at CVS.  I then put my purchases in the Audi.  They were in the process of removing the flamingo statues from in front of the Senior and the Arts center.  They were done by a Greek sculpture Kasacopolis.  I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I chatted with a husband while his wife shopped.  I walked around the train station area, and then I sat out for a while at the Senior and the Arts Center.  I used the bathroom there.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and they have square baking trays on sale, but no round ones.  I then went by the A&P Fresh, but they did not have any round baking trays, just aluminum ones. I bought a quart of California strawberries for $2.50.  They also have California Honeydew Melons on sale there.  I then returned home.  I took the two large aluminum pots off the top of the Sharp convection oven, and I put them underneath the smoker's chair in the kitchen.  I put the two different round rack assemblies on top of the Sharp Convection Microwave oven.   I then emptied about 8 Tropicana 59 ounce orange juice containers with spare water, and I threw out the containers, which I had to do to make room for the large pots underneath the chair.  I chatted with a relative.  I will now reheat the chicken from last night, and I will steamed the same vegetables and serve them the same way.  I will also drink some watered down passion punch.  I brought up my mail, when I came in.  A relative and a friend are going to pick up the other family car tomorrow, and I will pick them up around 6 P.M. at the Greenwich Train station coming from Manhattan.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/26/08 Tuesday 8:00 P.M.  I ate a Jones' 7 ounce precooked ham steak fried over medium high to medium electric burner heat for about 4 minutes a side seasoned with Italian seasoning and fried in butter and olive oil, and I turned it repeatedly.  I put some Dijon mustard on it.  I also steamed on a steamer tray in a pot with lid and an .75 inches of water for 15 minutes two small Russet potatoes cuts into eights with baby carrots and broccoli crowns and cauliflower, about two cups worth, which I put in a bowl with butter and olive oil and Italian seasoning and parmesan and Romano grated cheese, and it ate it with a glass of watered down passion punch.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/26/08 Tuesday 6:45 P.M.  I finished installing the XP Home updates on the Toshiba laptop, and without the CA security suite it runs a bit faster.  I am using the XP firewall on it.  I chatted with a relative three times.  While doing that, I took out HP Photosmart C4280 all purpose printer black ink cartridge that was not working, and I put it upside down on a paper towel on a dish, and I poured a little bit of Ronsol lighter fluid on its print head, and I let it sit for 10 minutes, and then I did it again for another 10 minutes.  I dried the outside of the cartridge with a tissue not touch the electrical contact or print head.  I then reinstalled it, and it now works just fine.  I ran the alignment cycle and the print head cleaning cycle.  I now have it available for color photo printing, which is its primary purpose.

Note: <888> 08/26/08 Tuesday 3:55 P.M.  I woke up at 10 A.M..  I watched some television on the Science channel #170 on my Cablevision Digital television system. 

Note: <888> 08/25/08 Monday 10:05 P.M.  I sat out a couple of times this afternoon.  I watched a program about the new large 600 seat Airbus.  Tracking is "35786272082" at DHL: Track (By number) Detail for the order FRYS.com | CRUCIAL CRUCIAL DDR 1GB PC3200 MEMORY for $11.99 after $20 mail in rebate with free shipping for $31.99 before mail in rebate arrived.  I tried installing it in the primary Vista computer and the Epox computer, but it was not compatible with the existing memory.  I finally installed it in the bedroom Gigabyte computer, so it now has 1.75 gigabytes of memory.  I also installed a better coaxial cable on the Leadtek TV card in the bedroom Gigabyte computer, so the TV quality on it is better.  I chatted with a relative.  I ate the other half of the salad from last night with some watered down passion punch.  I also ate 20 dried apricots this afternoon.  I will fill out the $20 rebate information on the memory tomorrow.  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO   

Note: <888> 08/25/08 Monday 1:05 A.M.  They are fixing up the playing field in the back yard by the skating rink, so there is now a big pile of old dirt and sod in the parking lot and another big pile of fresh dirt in the diamond field.  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I enjoy getting out a little bit more often now that summer is ending soon, so I can get use to some of my more active cold weather routines.  I really have difficulty taking the heat of the summer around here, which is why I spend most of my time around the air conditioner in my apartment during the summer.  CIO 

Note: <888> 08/25/08 Monday 12:40 A.M.  Well, the Queen of Denmark use to vacation in the winter in Key West, Florida The Danish Monarchy , so I probably know one or two other Danish people.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/25/08 Monday 12:20 A.M.  There are one and possibly two photographs of me when I was thin and tan after returning from Florida in 1977 and 1978, and those are the staff photographs taken at the Gordon Folger Hotel in Nantucket those summers.  I recall, Michael the baker was also from Key West, and he later became the bartender at the Languedoc in Nantucket and the Fogarty House in Key West, and then the two chefs were from Panama.  Well, it was warm by the cast iron storm in the kitchen, when your blood is thinned out.  The owners of the Gordon Folger Hotel were the Bowman family from Canada, and I recall Scotty Bowman thought we were rather suspicious looking characters.  The rest of the staff were pretty much well fed pale northern people.  CIO 

Note: <888> 08/24/08 Sunday 11:55 P.M.  I ate 20 dried apricots.

Alas, I was never agile enough to skateboard, and I have spent most of my life walking around for exercise.  If you want to explore areas where skateboards do not work so well, it helps if you can walk.

One relative recently walked up and down Mount Washington for a little bit of exercise, which I do not think I would be up to doing.

If you lived in Florence, Italy, you could try walking up and down the steps of Duomo, which I only did once.

I noticed one person downtown that I know has lost about 50 pounds, and I noticed a lot of other people have lost weight, so I guess people are eating less and getting more exercise.  The easiest way I know to lose weight is to try living in Key West, Florida for about six months in the winter, and eat a six inch long piece of Cuban bread for breakfast, and a yogurt and orange juice for lunch, and a plate of beans and rice or peanut butter sandwich for dinner if you are lucky, and walk around all of the time, and like me back in 1976 to 1978, I went from about 185 pounds in Greenville, South Carolina to 125 pounds, when I left Key West, Florida both in the spring of 1977 and 1978, but I was also darkly tanned, so when I returned up north, they thought I was a Puerto Rican, but I did not know Spanish.  Here is what I looked like when I was heavier at 155 pounds back in October 1983 at age 33, when I left Nantucket, but I was not in the sun that much after I left Florida in 1978 http://mikelouisscott.com/mike-scott-kennebunkport-maine-august-1983.jpg  .  CIO    

Note: <888> 08/24/08 Sunday 11:25 P.M.  If any public individuals from overseas have any complaints, they are suppose to take it up with their respective consulates and embassies.  Since my family has lived here for close to 400 years, I tend to go along with the status quo versus the talking head status quo.  From what little I know about geo politics, in the old days of the cold war with Russia when it was a much larger country, the United States of America had about 5,000 thermonuclear missiles, and Russia was suppose to have around 60,000.  Whether any of them work after all of these years, is opened to question, and more than likely there are more advanced weapon systems that the general public does not know about.  I do know from one recent B.B.C. news story on the poisoning of a Russian spy in England, that Russian claimed they were not involved, since if they had done it, they had poisons that can not be detected.  It sort of makes one think that they might have the upper hand with all of the foreign operatives around here.

Note: <888> 08/24/08 Sunday 9:00 P.M.  I took the large wooded salad bowl, so I washed it cleaned.  I then took the last third of a head of Foxy iceberg lettuce that I bought about two weeks ago, and it was still fresh since I had it in the refrigerator in its original wrapping, and I peeled off the rest of its leaves, and I ripped them into two to three inch pieces, and I added them to the salad bowl.  I then added about a half cup of broccoli crowns with stalks cuts into quart inch chunks.   I then added 15 baby carrots that I cut lengthwise in quarters.  I then added one medium peeled and diced yellow onion.  I then added two Kosher dill pickles that I cut into quarter inch chunks.  I then opened up a 3.75 ounce tin of Beach Cliff sardines, and I added the oil to the mixture, and I cut the sardines into half inch chunks, and I added them into the mixture.  I then took four slices of Kraft processed American cheese, and I cut them into 1 inch by .25 inch slices, and I added them.  I put three strips of bacon on two paper towels on a microwave proof plate with a paper towel on top and a microwave lid on top of the plate, and I microwaved the bacon for 4.5 minutes.  I then crumbled the bacon on the salad.  I toasted an English muffin well done, and I cut it into half inch cubes, and I added it for croutons. I then added about a third of a cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese.  I then added a half teaspoon of Maggi seasoning, and some Italian spice seasoning,  about eight tablespoons of Tunisian extra virgin olive oil, four tablespoons of Italian balsamic vinegar and about a few ounces of Kraft Balsamic salad dressing, and I mixed it all together with Canadian Goose salad fork and spoon, until it was thoroughly mixed.  I then put 40% on a dinner plate, and I put the other 60% in a large Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator.  I ate tonight's portion with a glass of 1/4th passion punch and 3/4ths cold filtered water.  I chatted with a relative.  The emergency pull cord alarm went off for the second time in two nights.  Once again it was families in the community room having a party, and they pull the emergency pull cord in the mail room bathrooms by mistake, and once again it took about a half hour to reset.  I chatted with a couple of neighbors.  I threw out the garbage.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/24/08 Sunday 4:40 A.M.  Earlier, I ate half of the 10.8 ounce can of CVS smoked almonds.  I also ate a bowl of the pineapple strawberry mixture.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  Maybe some of the adult writers will produce some more interesting content once the children go back to school.  People around here are not really interested in Professional Sports, since they tend to work a lot, they do not have time for watching Professional Sports.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/21/08 Thursday 11:05 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with some of the regulars, and I read National Geographic.  I then went to my usual Thursday 3 P.M. appointment.  I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought a Green Backs scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought two 10.8 ounce cans of CVS smoked almonds for $2.99 each for $5.98 total.  I stopped by the Chase Bank on Mason Street.  I then walked back to Greenwich Avenue, and I finished my walk down Greenwich Avenue.  I tried sitting in the little park across from CVS, but a bee buzzed me away.  I finished my walk.  I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center.  I chatted with a few locals during my walk.  I then drove over to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99 and a head of cauliflower for $2.99 for $5.98 total.  I then returned home.  I chatted with neighbors.  I picked up my mail.  I put away my purchases.  I received the Viewcon VE091 USB to 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter, USB Ethernet Adapter with coupon code of "HW19225OFF" for $5.49 with free shipping.  I installed it on the Northgate Syntax computer.  Vista did not recognize it with a driver, but I was able to download it from this site Realtek Viewcon VE091 USB to 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter, USB Ethernet Adapter Drive Download , and it worked just fine.  It is only USB 1.0, and not 2.0, so on the Northgate Syntax computer, I only get 5 MBPS download and upload versus 15 MBPS and 7 MBPS with the LAN card.  I removed the LAN card from the third slot, and I installed the Hauppauge WinTV Go card, and I then reinstalled its program, and it works just fine.  I leave it on channel 3 and with it with the Digital Cable Box it is connected to, since its remote control is at that same location.  I chatted with a relative.  I ate a eight ounce hamburger with a slice of cheese on a bun with ketchup along with a large bowl of steamed russet potato chunks, broccoli crowns, asparagus, and baby carrots with butter and olive oil and water down passion punch.  I also ate 10 almonds.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/20/08 Wednesday 9:50 P.M.  I chatted with a relative earlier and another relative a few minutes ago.  The news is talking about war with Russia, but from my view point, we can not afford to go to war with anyone let alone get over there, so I guess the Russians will have to come over here to start the war.  We already have over a half million new Russian immigrants in the New York area over the last 20 years which we could hold hostage in case the Russian continue with their hostile ways.  There are only 150 million people in Russia today, and there are over 2.5 billion people in the Western Hemisphere, so generally we tend to have pretty good security here.  CIO

Note: <888> 08/20/08 Wednesday 11:40 A.M.  I tried installing the IBM Home Directory System on the FIC server, but it does not work, since I use a power strip with surge protection on the FIC server, and I do not want to run it without surge protection.

To decrease system resources on the primary Vista and the FIC Vista computers, I ran this command BigG's: Turn Off Hibernate in Vista to turn off hibernate in Vista.

Note: <888> 08/19/08 Tuesday 10:15 A.M.  The GE air conditioner repair man came shortly after the last note.  He checked out the unit, and he said it was just fine.  All they could do in the future is take it our for two weeks and clean the coils in Long Island, but I also could do that myself if I left it off and let it return to room temperature and clean it with my one gallon steamer.  However, it is a sealed unit, so one can not add Freon.  Also it is cooling properly, and if it is not putting out enough temperature, he suggested turning down the temperature on it, which I did.  He said at this time of year, there is no point taking it out for two weeks for cleaning, since I will need it.  I put the items on the window shelf back in their usual position.  I cleaned the window shelf first.  I move the vintage wooden tool box to the far right of the window shelf, so it is not as conspicuous, and I moved the pathos plant to the center of the window shelf, so it is better seen.  Thus it also looks better.  I set the air conditioner on medium fan speed at 66 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is currently 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the apartment.  I also have both tower fans going to blow the cool air around the apartment.  I chatted with a relative.  When the GE air conditioner maintenance contract expires on September 16, 2008, my relative told me not to renew it, and if the unit ever fails after eight years so far, we will just buy a new one.  Of course that probably means I will have to install it myself and remove the old one, which was part of the reason for having the maintenance contract, so I would not ever have to do that which is qu
