Note:<888>04/30/01 Monday 11:55 P.M. EDT: I chatted with a friend. I had dinner of roasted half chicken broiler, baked potato, steamed asperagus, and ice tea. I watched TV. I will now restart the server log. CIO

Note:<888>04/30/01 Monday 7:55 P.M. EDT: I am finished polishing. I took the old used Glade Plugin refill, and I pried off the cap, and I filled it with lemon oil to use for furture scent control. Now for starting dinner. CIO

Note:<888>04/30/01 Monday 6:55 P.M. EDT: I was up at 3:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I put the three blue and white beach chairs in the back passenger side of the Volvo, and I also have three webbing beach chairs in the trunk. I used glass cleaner on the glass surfaces in the apartment. I cleaned the oak dining table and lazy susans with furniture cleaner, and I am now letting the lemon oil dry on them. I will now do the kitchen cabinets. CIO

Note:<888>04/30/01 Monday 7:50 A.M. EDT: I relaxed a bit, and now it is time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/30/01 Monday 1:30 A.M. EDT: I finished off the speghetti and tomato meat sauce with ice tea. I guess it is time to start winding down for the day. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/01 Sunday 11:35 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I drove by the waterfront. I drove over to the 24 hour CVS at the Riverside Shopping plaza where they had the $50,000 early morning robbery about two weeks ago. I bought two 13 oz. bottles of Loreal Hydra Vive moisture shampoo with the store coupon and store card for $2.99 both, Crest toothpaste 6.5 oz. Multicare Whitening for $2.50, CVS Lemon furniture polish $1.49, Bic Five Pack of Lighters with store coupon $2.49, two 16 oz. bottle pack of European mystique shampoo and conditioner $1.79, CF automobile christmas tree air freshner new car smell .99, Glade Plugin Scented Oil refill Hawaiian breeze $2.99, CVS 7 oz. shave gel $1.85, for $17.91 total. All the CVS card discounts did not register on the cash register when scanned and had to be entered manually. I then returned to town, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then drove by the waterfront. I returned home, and I closed the window. I closed the curtain. I moved the box fan in front of the air conditioner and left if off. I put the minature tropical plants back on the window shelf. I put the Queen Elizabeth II Life Magazine issue coronation issue back oon the left window ledge. I put the George W. Bush inaugural invitation at the kitchen entrance. I put the scent tree in the car. I put the Glade Plugin scented oil refill in the plugin in the kitchen. I will now put away the CVS purchases. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/01 Sunday 6:45 P.M. EDT: I was up at 2 P.M.. I chatted with a friend. I had breakfast of oatmeal, orange juice, vitamins, toast, and coffee. I cleaned up, and I went by the ATM machine at Bank of New York in Port Chester, New York. I then went by Odd Job, and I bought a Hallmark card for $2.01, a TV cable connector .79, a white 25 foot telephone handset cable .88 plus .25 tax for $3.93 total. I then stopped by Radio Shack in Port Chester, and I bought a 50 foot TV cable for $9.99 plus a four way TV cable splitter for $6.99 plus $1.15 tax for $18.13. I then returned home. I chatted with two relatives. I connected the kitchen Sony Trintron to the Optimum cable box with the supplies I bought. I tuned it in and adjusted it. Since the kitchen Sony is not cable ready it is tuned into the channel on the cable box. One catch when one turns it on, it comes on channel 2 and one has to select channel 3 to bring in the cable feed. I then moved my two minature palms from the left living room window moving one on the backup CPU and one to the left window side. I hung the Queen Elizabeth II Life magazine n the kitchen entrance. I put the Quail picture behind the bedroom desk. I then pull the left living room window curtain open halfway, and I opened the window all the way. I put the white box window fan in front of the window to bring in fresh air. I turned off the thermostats. Now I will have some reheated speghetti and tomato meat sauce with ice tea and then go outside. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/01 Sunday 7:05 A.M. EDT: I took off the plastic cover off the bedroom desk chair, and while I was disgarding it, I found an older 9 inch Sony Trinitron that had been disgarded. I tested, and it works fine enough on cable. I put ito to the right side of the kitchen next to the refrigerator. I will connect it once I get a long enough cable for the cablevision. I had to remove the Krups Capacinno and Coffee combination machine to the bedroom closet along with the Gaggia coffee grinder. I put the Braun cappucinno and Royal coffee machine on the left side left of the oven and the Krups black cappucinno between the sink and oven. I put the stainless steel coffee mug rack on the toaster oven. I rehung the power strip on the wall behind the Sony TV. I cleaned the counters. Well, I am tired. Time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/01 Sunday 3:35 A.M. EDT: I moved around some more bric a brac. I figured out, I had plugged the backup computer speakers into the disabled onboard sound instead of the Creative SW 32 card, so sound should work now. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/01 Sunday 2:40 A.M. EDT: I put the large plant from underneath the coffee table back on the square Danish table to the left of the backup CPU. I tried lighting underneath the coffee table, but I did not like the effect. I moved the Swedish glass ball on the coffee table. I put both pineapple lamps on the bedroom desk. I put the teak pineapple on the white bureau. I put the book light on top of the bedroom TV with a 15 watt bulb for a night light. I moved some other bric a brac. CIO

Note:<888>04/29/01 Sunday 1:20 A.M. EDT: I drove downtown by the waterfront. There was a fair going on in Baldwin Park. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I found a piece of jewelry I turned into the police station. I returned home about 11 P.M.. I had reheated speghetti and tomato meat sauce and ice tea. I moved the backup computer from the bedroom desk to the living room desk. It's speakers don't seem to work. I will work on it later. I threw out the old Lexmark Fax. I found a brass plate chair disgarded, I put at the bedroom desk. I put the living room desk items on bedroom desk. I put the large golden pathos plant from the square Danish table to underneath the brass and glass table showing through. I put the four British tea mats along the front of the table. I put the Nantucket ashtray on the right back and the remotes on the left back. I put the Americas Cup mat on top of the other on top of the front bar table. I put the backup computer CPU on the square Danish table. I ran a 50 foot telephone cord form the phone line splitters underneath the bar to the CPU. I put my carry items on the St. Paul's Chapel Trinity Parish Broadway and Fulton Street Manhattan plate which is on the back side of the round oak dining table. Overall it seems a bit neater.

Note:<888>04/28/01 Saturday 6:20 P.M. EDT: Well, I finished house cleaning. I was just thinking on the Brass and Glass coffee table, some time I could go up to Bliss Marine in Darien, and buy about ten feet of brass picture tupe wire along with brass fasteners and a pair of brass turn screws and fasten the wire around the ends of the glass where it meets the brass frame and tighten it with the attached turn screws, so the glass is secure to the frame. Having taken a course in architecture appreciation at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois and having once freeloaded on a friend in a apartment next to the IBM building in Chicago, I think it is a Mies Vander Roah coffee table as in the architect of the Chicago IBM building and the Seagrams building. Well time for a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments and ice tea. Then I will clean up and go out for some fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/01 Saturday 4:20 P.M. EDT: I was up at 1:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I recieved a new ATM card in the mail. I chatted with some neighbors. I found a brass valet rack out by the dumpster, so I put it on the right side of the day bed. I watered the plants. I will now start house cleaning. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/01 Saturday 5:00 A.M. EDT: I vacuumed the now dry rug underneath the brass and glass coffee table with the Hoover upright vacuum to fluf it up. While studying the coffee, I remembered I believe they use to have these in the Seagrams building in Manhattan, and one day they all disapppeared. Since the glass can easily slide off the side rails, and a heavy sharp 50 pound edge of glass come plumeting down on one's foot for example and cause extensive damage to the foot, and a smaller person like a child even more damaging, it is basically an unsafe coffee table as designed. There is usually a catch to stuff donated at the thrift shops. I studied the situation a while, and I eventually went out to the car and got a five foot piece of blue 12 volt wire, and I straped it around over and under the table frame and glass on the left side about a half inch in and secured it tightly, so the glass can only slide about an eighth to a quarter inch in either direction on the 3/4 inch wide frame. For now it is amply secure, but to move the table safely, one would have to remove the wire to move the glass and then the frame. I am tired, so after some goldfish crackers and ice tea; I will go to bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/01 Saturday 2:30 A.M. EDT: I went for a walk of the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while a few times too. I stopped by the waterfront. I returned home. I removed the wine rack from underneath the brass and glass table and put the wine underneath the front bar table. I put two more bottles of Perrier in the refrigerator. I put the fold wine rack on the file cabinet in the bedroom. I put the empty Dom Perigon champagne bottle I bought at the Darien junior league balloon shop for a $1 back on the round oak dining table. Since the brass and glass cofffee table has half inch wide longitudinal rails on which the half inch glass sits on only two sides, if it should shift off the table despite the weight of the glass, it is best not to have any objects underneath it, so hopefully in that eventually there would not be any fracturing. CIO

Note:<888>04/28/01 Saturday 12:10 A.M. EDT: I finished my laundry and I put it away. I found out by the dumpster a piece of Dupont Orlon oriental reproduction carpet in dark green and beige pattern. I brought it inside, and I vacumed it, and I shampooed it with the Bissell rug shampooer. I put it underneath the Brass and Glass coffee table centered on the day bed. It fit in quite well and looks good, although at the moment it is still damp. Once it drys, and I vacuum it again, it should look even better. I will now go out for some fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>04/27/01 Friday 10:25 P.M. EDT: I started the laundry, and it will be done in a half hour. I changed the sheets on the bed. I will go out for some fresh air, after I put the laundry away. I am also cleaning a half dozen throw pillow cases. CIO

Note:<888>04/27/01 Friday 8:25 P.M. EDT: I took a little bit of a walk outside. I cleaned my car windows. I relaxed a bit inside. I had some reheated speghetti with tomato and meat sauce along with ice tea and cappucinno. I chatted with a relative. CIO

Note:<888>04/27/01 Friday 4:50 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at noon. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I chatted with government offices about getting the electroic swipe on one of my cards fixed. I probably will have to go over to Stamford next week. I researched Bell's Scotch and apparently it is the most common Scotch in England, but they quit importing it to the United States in 1990. On the "www.perrier.com" web site whose corporate headquarters are across the street from me, it says that the Duke of Windsor and other commonwealth representatives use to take Bell's Scotch with them along with Perrier on their worldwide travels. I called a friend, and I told them about the two Equestrian riding clothes shops up in Banksville, New York. I guess with the Kentucky Derby coming soon, there might be some renewed interest in horses. Well I guess I will have some reheated speghetti and tomato meat sauce in a little while. Then I will clean up and go out for some fresh air. CIO

End of Scott's Notes week 04/27/01:

Note:<888>04/27/01 Friday 3:50 A.M. EDT: Well, I once read the 77% of the private wealth in America is owned by women over 70 years, so I would imagine while they sip on their tea and toast, they might be interested in "http://www.teacouncil.co.uk/" . Well, I will now send out my weekly note and head off to sleep. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>04/27/01 Friday 3:10 A.M. EDT: I took the nine bottle collapsable wine rack out of the bedroom window and placed it beneath the brass and glasss coffee table. I put my wine from the bar and refrigerator in the wine rack along with Concorde grape spakling beverage and a couple bottles of Perrier and a old Dom Perigon bottle. I left one white wine in the refrigerator and one Perrier along with the Moet et Chadon. I put in a 12 pack of Barq's rootbeer to chill. I guess I will now have a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments. Usually for condiments on hotdogs, I use ketchup and Dijon mustard. On hamburgers for condiments, I use mayonaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, fried onions, and occassionally sliced dill pickle. I usually season my hamburgers wehn frying with celery salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Now back to hotdogs and ice tea. CIO

Note:<888>04/27/01 Friday 12:20 A.M. EDT: I went out, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while at a few different spots. While walking around the Greenwich Office plaza lower parking lot dumpster, I noticed they had thrown out more old computer equipment, if one is into dumpster diving. It looked to be about 486 vintage equipment. I drove by the waterfront.

Note:<888>04/23/01 Monday 10:25 P.M. EDT: After backing up the C: drive to the D: drive, I ran Norton Disk Doctor on the C: drive and then Norton Speed Disk on the C: drive.

Since it was a nice day, I washed it and dried it. I then wax and buffed it with the Prestone Bullet car wax. The wax dispenser, does not work too well when working sideways. I then cleaned the windows with Windex and wiped the dash area and door entries. I then vacuumed the car. The car once again looks very good. It took about three hours to do this. I then reattached the ship to shore antenna with Velcro fasteners which are stronger than electrical tape. I had two hotdogs on buns with condiments for lunch with ice tea. I am running the air conditioner on low at 72 degrees farenheit on energy saver, since in the afternoon when the sun hits my west facing windows, it can warm up a bit.
