On the pier on Steamboat Road, I once chatted briefly with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden whose mother is from Brazil, so I guess they are use to hot and cold. I know a number of Norwegians go to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. In the periods I visited Key West during the colder weather, I was told the Danish Royal family used to like vacationing in Key West. Since the Danish once owned the Virgin Islands, they have connections down there. Of course people whom know how to sail can show up anywhere with the various seasons. When I showed up on the South Shore on www.nantucket.net in early April 1977, the locals on the warmer beach near the Gulf Stream were from Nova Scotia. There used to be a Kennebunkport to Nantucket sailboat race in the summer, so I guess some salt water sailors have experience both places. Alas, the only craft I have ever sailed is a small sunfish on Lake Michigan at Holland, Michigan. My father's boss in Pensacola, Florida in the late 1950s had a 75 foot sailing yacht, so I guess he knew how to sail. Also my stepfather knew hot to sail too. Wharf rats know a few things.

The map of Magellan lamp on that end table has a strong enough light bulb to support reading at that location. In the white bureau in the bedroom in the second drawer down, I have a fairly new pair of white Queen size sheets that a relative gave me about five years ago. Beside the sheets on the bed, I also have another set of grey sheets on the bedroom closet shelf.

I moved the bent oak chair from there to in front of the dark pine bookcase on the right side of the mahogany bureau with the Samsung television on it at the hallway entrance. I moved the Glacier water dispenser further to the left, so it is at the kitchen entrance but not blocking it. I moved the black and white kitchen mat back into the kitchen. If I need to sit down to put on my boots, I can pull out the bent oak chair at the end of the teak dining table. Thus there is more white floor space and a bit less cluttered.

I moved the small oak chair at the left side of the hallway entrance to the left side of the small Danish end table with the telephone on it to the left side of the Samsung television on the mahogany bureau, so there is a small chair by that telephone. That is a new AT&T two line telephone. I moved the Black and Decker dust buster back in the right bookcase in front of the bibles. In the bookcase to its right, I moved the 15 Bibles from the bookcase in the hallway. I have 13 new King James large print bibles and my old Taft School Thomas Nelson and sons bible from Edinburgh, Scotland along with a Gideon bible I picked up in my travels. I recall one of them had a parking ticket that I did not pay from Newport Beach, California or some place out there. I had a lot of bibles, since I used to use them to support computer monitor legs and smart tv legs, which is no longer necessary. I also from above bathroom door, the little hanging brass marlin bto above the circuit breaker box with the mirror hanging over it. I also moved the French chateau print from the left side above the Samsung television to the lower right of the Samsung television below a similar print.

After lunch we got coffee at www.starbucks.com . We then sat out briefly at Bruce Park.

It is with the other television remote controls.

They have a new coffee shop there on the southwest corner of the building. It looks to be quite nice with lots of sitting room. When I started up the car, the check engine light came on. I returned home. I used my car code reader to check the problem. There was something about an Oxygen sensor. I erased the codes, so the Check Engine light no longer comes on.

They last time I chatted with Fred Von Mierers the year before he died when I stopped by his apartment on East 54th Street just east of First Avenue on the northeast corner, he told me he was working for Mrs. Vanderbilt in Newport, Rhode Island. Another Dutch friend in this area told me that the Vanderbilt family in South Salem, New York own the Vanderbilt mansion in Newport.

I put expensive General Electric 75 watt Energy Saving light bulb that last six years in the Map of Magellan reading lamp on the Danish end table in the living room in between the Ethan Allen recliner and the Queen Anne chair. I have a lot spare energy saving LED light bulbs and regular light bulbs in the mahogany bureau in the bedroom and on the floor to the left next to it. CIO
01/06/24 Saturday 12:05 A.M. On the towel rack opposite the bath tub, I took off the five hand towels, and I stored them on the floor of the bedroom closet. I put two salmon colored bath towels on the towel rack opposite the bath tub. Earlier, I cleaned bedroom window shelf where I threw out the bedroom screen from. I do not need a screen there since I put the LG 7000 BTU portable air conditioner duct there in the summer. In the current setup, in an emergency fire situation it would be easy for the fire department to break through the apartment windows from the flat roof outside. I had to start using Microsoft Frontpage 2002 again, since with Microsoft Office Word 2021, it does not keep the same fonts on my web log. Also Microsoft Edge does not let one cut and paste the exact URLs like Firefox web browser does. I am supposed to do more frequent dusting. The Greenwich Communities representative said they might need to reseat some of the ceiling tiles in my apartment. Also the custodian needs to paint the bathroom ceiling above the sink where he spackled it. I will now go outside and drink a brewed coffee. I guess Midnight Mike is back on a night schedule with the wolves. Sunday January 7, 2024 is Russian Orthodox Christmas for anyone that missed the Julian Calendar Christmas. CIO
01/05/24 Friday 11:05 P.M. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee. I do not leave the five gallon Nestle hot and cold water dispenser turned on, since I figure it uses as much electricity as a refrigerator. I tested the 42 inch Vizio television in the bedroom, and it works just fine, and hardly has ever been used, since I bought it a year ago. On the Samsung 49 inch television in the living room, I set its Smart TV function to wireless and that works just fine. The Optimum Cable boxes no long have LAN cables. I moved the Boston Sound bar on the Samsung television to the left side on the telephone Danish table, so now there is a clear line of sight for the Samsung remote control to the television. It all seems just fine.
I will now go outside again. CIO

I moved from the mahogany bureau in the bedroom the Map of Megellan lamp to the back side of the Danish cherry end table in between the Ethan Allen recliner and the Queen Anne chair. Now there is a good reading light there for comfortable book reading of magazine reading. I went outside, and I drank a brewed coffee.

I had problems with the computer in that Office 2019 had disappeared. I tried buying a product key at www.royalcdkeys.com for Office 2021 for about $15, but it only installed Office 365, which seems to work just fine including Outlook for my email. I also installed Frontpage 2002 for blogging. I went outside, and I drank more coffee. I have the apartment inspection at 4 P.M. this afternoon. Two relatives will be arriving at 3:30 P.M. and also my social worker will be coming. As far as I can figure out the apartment is setup just fine. I will now go outside again. CIO
