The Amazon.com: Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub F5U407: Computers & PC Hardware for $8.23 arrived yesterday.  I put it on the second Dell Latitude CS laptop computer, and it works just fine.  I removed the powered D-Link LAN Hub, and I put it underneath the bedroom sideboard.

The SIM Card Backup Reader Device for $5.99 with free shipping arrived.  I backed up the Sim card telephone directory in my primary Nokia telephone, and I wrote it to the SIM card in the Motorola wireless telephone.  CIO   

Note: <888> 05/31/09 Sunday 8:15 A.M..  I went out after the last note yesterday, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center before and after the walk.  During my walk, I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, CVS, and the Chase Bank on West Putnam Avenue just west of Greenwich Avenue.  After my walk, I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  I bought a white microwave proof dinner plate for $2 and a Amazon.com: Panasonic PV-DF2700 27-Inch Pure Flat TV-DVD-VCR Combo: Electronics  made in December 2000 for $15 for $17.  I used my small folding cart to wheel it to the car, and I put it in the back seat.  It manual is here Panasonic PV-DF2700 Manuals, Support and Troubleshooting - OmniVision TVs .  I then returned home.  I used the cart to bring it up to my apartment.

Note: <888> 05/29/09 Friday 2:10 P.M..  I woke up at 2:30 A.M..  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I did house cleaning for about the first time since before Easter.  I listened to Broadway tunes on the wireless headphones while doing house cleaning.  The covering on the foam rubber on the ear pieces is deteriorating, so small black pieces of black covering came off on my ears.  I put charged up metal hydride rechargeable batteries back in them, and I am charging up the ones that I used, and they will be ready at 6 P.M..  I put another blue toilet tablet in the toilet tank.  I watered the plants.  I ate the same sautéed London Broil meal as two nights ago.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I went back to bed from 9 A.M. to 12:30 P.M..  I chatted with a relative.  I went outside, and I threw out more garbage.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/28/09 Thursday 6:40 P.M..  Earlier in the morning, I also ate two bowls of reduced fast Cheez-its.  Well not much happening way out here in Southwestern Greenwich, Connecticut on the old Lyon Farm homestead.  Since there is also a Lyon Farm Road in Nantucket, I guess they had a place up there too.  The Queen Mum of England was from the Bowles Lyon family, so maybe the Lyon family here and Nantucket is related to British Royalty, who knows.  There was a plate at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop with Queen Elizabeth's picture on it for $25 with a small stand.  We try to be anglophile here, but since we do not get any money from England, we pretty much know who helps us pay our bills.  I guess the English since they do not know America as well as my family does have a hard time surviving off the land.  If they ever took the time to ask me for some basic advise about this neck of the woods on this side of the pond, I could always give them some free information like I was sort of like Traveler's Aid.  Of course we have so many Hollywood types around here, we are always somewhat suspect of people imitating other people, and the long term residents in this area tend to know the other long term residents for what it is worth.  From my viewpoint, there is not much happening around here.  They still manage to keep the grass cut, and the electricity still works, but from what I can tell all the New York City people do is drink coffee here, and they tend to think we are some sort of rustic country bumpkins.  The New York City people tend to be programmed differently than some of the more professional residents in this area.  Since the Greenwich Times is a public media newspaper, a lot happens here that the more private people manage to avoid the peeping Toms from the local Hearst Media.  I know quite a few media people can afford to live here, and quite a few others seemed to have ended up living elsewhere, when they ran out of news to cover.  Basically the news is a small group of people's viewpoint on a much larger world, and much of it is paid advertising, so it is hard to tell whether they are trying to inform us, or just sell us something.  From what I know most people here have no interest in moving to California, except for a few younger people who like sun tans, which people on the east coast can easily get down in Florida.  California is an agricultural state, so possibly they are trying to compete with Florida over food production.  Well, I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  The internet went off briefly.  Have a good evening.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/28/09 Thursday 5:15 P.M..  I went out after the last note.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at a few places.  I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  Two of the regular fishermen were there, however two of the most regular fishermen have not yet showed up, so far this year.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 32 ounce container of Borden's Lemon Juice.  In the old days before PGP encryption, one could send secret messages, by using a refillable fountain pen with lemon juice in it.  When the lemon juice dried on the paper, it was invisible, and one could not see it, but when one held the paper up to the heat of light bulb the lemon juice writing would show up as brown ink.  I then returned home.  I took a two hour nap.  I chatted with a friend and a relative. 

If you look at Foreclosure Real Estate Listings at RealtyTrac, you can see the distressed real estate market.

I ate two hotdogs on buns with ketchup and mustard and 1/4 of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and a dill pickle slice and some watered down passion punch.  I then showered and cleaned up again.  I tried fixing the clock in the community room again, and I put a new AA alkaline battery in it.  I then went out to my 3 P.M. appointment.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  I then returned home, and I chatted with a neighbor, and I picked up the mail.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/28/09 Thursday 6:10 A.M..  I ate a ham and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise on a Kaiser roll with a dill pickle slice and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and some watered down passion punch.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go out for an early morning walk in the misty fog of Long Island Sound.  Somebody named Michael Scott up until 1700 owned all of Long Island, until he moved to Jamaica which was more profitable.   CIO 

Note: <888> 05/28/09 Thursday 5:20 A.M..  I finished the backups of the Epox and Abit computers, and I shut them down.  There is an www.ibm.com connection with Fred Von Mierers http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm in that he was connected up with Ford Modeling FORD MODELS , and both Betty Ford and Olive Watson were Ford Models, and as I recall Fred knew Olive Watson's daughter Olive and they both knew David May who did public relations for IBM.  David May lived near one of the busiest youth bars in Manhattan before Personal Computers with quite a few tech people from New Jersey engineering firms.  Maybe they were trying to come up with robots for Ford Modeling.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/25/09 Monday 8:40 A.M..  I went out after the last note.  I went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I used the bathroom at the Greenwich Train station.  I noticed two more vacant stores, so that is 28 vacant store fronts on Greenwich Avenue and Railroad Avenue around the train station area.  I then walked back to the central Greenwich Avenue area.  I had to go to the bathroom again, so I drove back down to the train station, and I used the bathroom again.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and there were no fishermen because it was low tide.  I then drove over to Grass Island, and they have put in new docks at Grass Island.  My former neighbor from Steamboat Road died two years ago, but his boat is still in the water at Grass Island, so a relative must have inherited it.  I then returned to central Greenwich Avenue, and I walked upper Greenwich Avenue, and I crossed Putnam Avenue since it was less busy, and I enjoyed the small vest pocket park in front of the Lafayette Financial Center.  However, the fountain was not working.  On my way down Greenwich Avenue, I found four dimes and four pennies in front of the Gingerman restaurant.  I then finished my walk, and I sat out for a while.  They were put up No Parking signs around the Greenwich Senior and Arts center, because they are having the Jim  Fixx Memorial Day run some time this morning around 9:30 A.M..  I used the bathroom at Starbucks.  I had to go to the bathroom a lot because at dinner, I had a 12 ounce glass of watered down passion punch and a cup of Lipton tea with splenda and lemon juice.   I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, broccoli crowns at $1.99 a pound for $2.47, a 5 pound bag of red potatoes for $3.99 and six ears of corn on the cob for $1 for $10.45 total.  I then returned home, and I chatted with neighbors.

I was told this Explosion outside Upper East Side Starbucks - 5/25/09 - New York News and Tri-State News - 7online.com . 

Besides the Jim Fixx run, there is suppose to be the Byram Vets behind my building at Vinci Drive at 10:30 A.M. this morning, and there are also suppose to be parades this morning in Old Greenwich and Glenville.  Also I noticed yesterday, there is no flag flying on the flag pole at the beach at Tod's Point.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/25/09 Monday 4:20 A.M..  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go out for an early morning walk.  We use to be a dairy community, so some of the long term residents use to have to get up early in the morning to milk the cows.  I think over in North Tarrytown, New York, where they have more vacant land, they keep Swiss Dairy cows, so they are use to getting up early in the morning to milk the cows.  Of course some people still have to feed the horses in the early morning.  If the Bushs ever show up here again, they have a set of horse shoes in the window of the Sports Shop on Railroad Avenue, but I do not think the horse shoe sand lots at Baldwin Park and Tod's Point are there anymore.  Down in Decatur, Alabama at the Chemstrand Company picnics, we use to play horse shoes.  CIO

In the old days before the internet and advanced weather forecasting we had cheaper systems for telling the hurricane weather in south Florida.  The conventional wisdom in south Florida was if the Pelicans disappeared in Key West, Florida a hurricane was coming, and if the Flamingos disappeared in Biscayne Bay, Miami was going to get a hurricane.  Of course people drink so much rum down there, it is really hard to tell what the real conventional wisdom is most of the time.  Have a good morning.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/22/09 Friday 12:35 A.M..  The stairway fire door opposite my apartment on the East End of the building on the second floor is missing two of its bolts on the door on the return mechanism, so it might malfunction some time in the future.  I was told by the fireman when he was here that the stairway fire door in the center of the building on the second floor is not to be left propped open.  It was propped open with a block of wood that the fireman removed to let it close.  The fireman told the building custodian that the door is suppose to be kept shut at all times.  The door on the main floor of the same stairwell has a sign on it that the door is suppose to be kept closed at all times.  I guess a similar sign should be put on all of the fire doors in the stairwells.  If there is a fire, the opened doors would act like a chimney and ventilate the fire.  CIO

I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center.  I toured CVS.  There were a few diners out, and that was about it.  I sat out for a while.

I then went by the A&P Fresh, and I bought four ears of corn on the cob for .25 each for a dollar.

I then returned home.  I picked the mail.

While downtown, I chatted with a relative on the wireless telephone.  At www.geico.com , I paid my June and July 2009 insurance payments, so my current GEICO automobile insurance policy is paid up in full through October 8, 2009, when a new policy will start again, and I will have to make a payment on the first of the month on October 2009.

The last forty years of Lake Forest College Alumni www.lfc.edu who went on the Greece programs are going to have a home coming this fall back in Lake Forest, Illinois, which can be a bit colder than here.  Quite frankly I would rather spend the winter in Greece.  For those interested in going out to Illinois to freeze while remembering Greece Lake Forest College - Homecoming 2009 .  Having covered the Kennedy group amongst other political groups, I probably have been around some Greeks over the years.  One Greek girl use to run a Victoria's Secret type shop in Nantucket, and my father was retired near Tarpon Springs, Florida where there are sponge divers.  There is also a Greek diner in Greenwich, Connecticut across from the Y.M.C.A., but they are a bit expensive now.  I have not found many volcano web sites from Greece, so they possibly tend to take them for granted.  The girl in Nantucket was always telling me, I should visit Santorini island, Greece: www.santorini.net.  She had a friend that looked like David Bowie.

Note: <888> 05/19/09 Tuesday 5:30 A.M..  I registered the Brother PT-1230 computer label printer.  I downloaded and installed the drivers and the advanced editor program on the primary Vista computer.  I put six AAA alkaline batteries in it.  I installed one of the white tapes with black letters instead of using the starter tape, so I would not run out.  I labeled all of the switches on the computer control panels in the apartment.  With the advanced editor, you pretty much can put in any characters or designs on the half inch wide tape.  Thus my computer setups look more professional looking instead of having the white paper stickers with handwritten ink and scotch tape, and they are easier to remember how to use.   I also made up a label that says "Michael Louis Scott, Esquire", and I put it on the mirror outside my apartment door.  When Richard Mercy wrote me a couple of times from England after I met him in the Bahamas, he addressed the letters that way, which means I am a lawyer in England, if he has any influence.  I also put a label with my home telephone number on the back of my AT&T Nokia Go Phone in case I lose it.  I stored the Brother PT-1230 in its box on the right side of the bedroom Gigabyte computer, and I have its switch set to E for using the advanced editing program.  To use the built in editing program, you have to switch the switch to the other setting.  I also found the serial number underneath the tape cartridge not like the web page for downloading the advanced program said it was on the bottom of the machine.  I put the starter and spare tape on the right shelf of the bedroom sideboard bookcase.

I will now eat a ham and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with mayonnaise and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and a dill pickle slice with watered down passion punch.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/18/09 Monday 11:20 P.M..  I woke last night, and I ate 1/3 of a 16 ounce jar of Planter's dry roasted peanuts.  I went back to bed, and I woke up at 4 P.M. this afternoon.

The order for the Brother PT-1230 Label Printer - PT-1230PC - Buy.com for $19.95 and free shipping had arrived.

For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I chatted with a relative.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out, and I went by my regular Chase Bank branch just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue, and I used the ATM to deposit my $10 monthly survey check.  I then went by CVS, and I got my $5.69 back on the Vitamin B-12 time released vitamins that was suppose to be buy one get one free.  I bought a CVS first aid kit that contained 20 items for $2, and .12 tax for $2.12 total.  I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I noticed that in the 15 minutes before total darkness at dusk, when it is relatively dark, the street lights on Railroad Avenue around the train station are not on, until it gets totally dark as is the street light between Starbucks and the Greenwich Police station.  I told the duty officer about that at the Greenwich Police station, they should come on when it is dusk and not when it is dark.  I also told the office that a red compact car almost ran me down in the crosswalk on Railroad Avenue yesterday coming from the movie theatre to the west side of Greenwich Avenue by the People's Bank construction.  A police car took off after the car after it ran the red light at high speed, so hopefully they caught the individual.  A lot of people saw it.  I then completed my walk of Greenwich Avenue.  I used the bathroom at CVS during my walk.  I chatted with a resident from Ireland who had the same Volvo station that I used to have, and I told the resident that it has a low air intake that can be flooded out in a small amount of water on the road such as happened to me three years ago. 

I then finished my walk.  I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  There were a few people down there.  They have removed the New Jersey barricade from the front entrance area of the pier.  I went by the A&P fresh, and I bought a 34 ounce bag of Eight O'clock hazelnut coffee beans for $14.39, two quart jars of Vlassic kosher dill pickle slices for $2 each, a top round Angus eye round roast for $3.99 a pound for $10.25, and four ears of corn on the cob for 25 cents each $29.64 total.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail, and I put away my purchases.  I put the small emergency medical kit in the bathroom medicine cabinet.  I will now make and eat the same dinner as the last two nights, but I will also have an ear of corn on the cob with margarine with the regular vegetable mixture.  CIO

I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought Chiquita bananas for .68 a pound for $1.58, a six pack of New York Everything bagels for $2.50, and a bulb of garlic for $2.99 a pound for .48 for $4.56 total.

I put a half cup of Quaker old fashioned oatmeal in it.

I put 7/8th cup of water in it.

I put it in the General Electric 1100 watt microwave oven with a Black and Decker microwave lid cover on it.

I microwave it on regular cycle for 1 minute and 40 seconds.

I then put a couple of tablespoons of honey on it, and I mix it together.

I then put about 1/6th of a cup of milk on it, and I mix it together.

I then peel a banana and I slice it into 3/8th inch thick slices that I put on the oatmeal mixture.

Note: <888> 05/09/09 Saturday 9:35 P.M..  I went out after the last note.  I went by the Chase Bank ATM machine just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue.  I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I toured CVS.  I chatted with another walker who was admiring an Aston Martin.  I chatted with a dog walker.  I used the bathroom at the Greenwich Train station during my walk.  They are out of paper towels there.  After my walk, I sat out for a while.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a day old half price 1.5 pound raspberry mouse cake for $5 and a 13.5 ounce box of reduced fat Cheez-its for $3 for $8 total.  I then returned home.  I chatted with a relative.  I ate a 1/6th piece of the raspberry mousse cake with some watered down passion punch.  I guess I will now eat a ham, turkey and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and some watered down passion punch.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/09/09 Saturday 5:15 P.M..  I woke up at 8:30 A.M. this morning, when two relatives called to wish me Happy Birthday.  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.

I ordered for my Mother for Mother's Day tomorrow from www.slickdeals.net from Book Sale - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Met Museum Store this art book The Year One: Art of the Ancient World East and West - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Met Museum Store for $5 and free shipping with coupon code "P908" for $5 total.

I went back to bed until 2 P.M..  I chatted with another relative who called to wish me Happy Birthday.

I made a sautéed .75 pound London broil with my usual vegetable mixture with olive oil and watered down passion punch.  I sautéed the London Broil medium rare in a frying pan over medium high electric burner heat with two cloves of chopped garlic and a few tablespoons of olive oil, and I season both sides with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning, and I cook it about 4 to 5 minutes a side turning it every minute.  For the last two minutes, I put a few tablespoons of Kikkoman soy sauce on the meat in the frying pan turning it to gain the flavor.  I put both KC Masterpiece Mesquite barbeque sauce on it and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce on it after I cooked it to eat it.

I made my bed, and I washed the dishes.  I threw out the garbage, and I picked up the mail.  I received another birthday card from a relative.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I will now go out for a walk.  There is a chance of thunder showers this evening.  CIO

Today is my 59th birthday.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  We're suppose to have some showers today with a high of 71 degrees Fahrenheit.  It seems to be a cooler spring, which sort of makes me think it will be another cold winter next winter.  I am so used to the cold that I have to use the air conditioner this time of year, when it is cool out.

My www.cl-p.com bill for the last two months still has not been posted.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/09/09 Saturday 1:40 A.M..  To view the picture of myself at Tod's Point on Easter and the pictures of Greenwich Avenue last week when the tulips were out and some of the new construction around town, you can look at this Kodak Gallery slide show of the 307 pictures.

Note: <888> 05/08/09 Friday 10:55 P.M..  I woke up at 5 P.M., and I chatted with a relative.  I ate two hotdogs with buns and ketchup and mustard and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and some watered down passion punch and a cup of Lipton tea with splenda and lemon juice.  I made my bed.   I went out, and I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I chatted with two cigar smokers who show up about once a month.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I stopped by CVS during my walk, and I bought buy one get one free or four in total of CVS 10 packs of AA alkaline batteries for $6.49 for two and two 6.5 ounce tubes of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips for $1.50 each less a $3 off CVS coupon on a $15 purchase and .60 tax for $13.58 total.  I chatted with somebody driving a new Porsche, and he did not know Dr. Ferdinand Porsche designed the original Volkswagen.  The Warburgs here in town use to own a 1952 black Volkswagen with a split rear window, so maybe they invested in the company after World War II.  Jim Warburg worked at the SAAB dealer in Boston at their parts counter, so he probably knows something about auto parts after all of these years.  Of course his father was a pilot in World War I, so maybe they invested in aviation.  I gave my calling card to a family that were disappointed that most of the tulips have disappeared.

I told them about the tulip pictures I took last week. The 296 pictures are at:  http://mikelouisscott.com/gw-042609/ .

After I finished my walk, I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.

I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Gulf station, and I bought $9 of self service premium at $2.699 a gallon for 3.33 gallons at odometer reading of 62545 miles for 32.7 miles driving since I filled up 9 days ago for 9.82 miles per gallon driving, but I filled at a different pump than I normally fill up.  I cleaned the outside windows, and I checked the tires for 32 PSI.  I then went by the Chase Bank just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue, and I used their ATM machine.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought two packages of 8 Stop and Shop hotdog buns for $1.67 each package, a half gallon of Tropicana Premium orange juice with calcium for $2.50, a 10 ounce bottle of Lea and Perrins thick original Worcestershire sauce for $3.39, a quart of Stop and Shop lemon juice for $2.29, and a package of two top round London Broils for $2.99 a pound for $10.20 for $21.72 total.  I then returned home.  I put away my purchases.  I drank some watered down passion punch.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/08/09 Friday 2:50 P.M..  After lunch, I threw out the garbage, and I chatted with neighbors.  The order from www.ordersmokesdirect.com for 7 cartons of King Mountain Ultra Lights 100s in a box arrived.  I threw out the shipping box.  I got another birthday card from a relative.  My 59th birthday is tomorrow.  I will now take a nap, since I only had six hours of sleep last night.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/08/09 Friday 10:55 A.M..  I woke up at 6 A.M..  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.

I ordered from CWI Outlet - Discount Computers/Electronics - Desktops, Notebooks, LCD Monitors, Printers, Parts a TRIPP LITE MT-6PLUS UNDER-MONITOR SURGE SUPPRESSOR for $25 and $7.27 UPS ground shipping for $32.27 total.  I will put it underneath the FIC server LCD monitor, and I will move the older Kensington under monitor surge suppressor to underneath the Abit computer LCD monitor.

I watered the plants with Schultz plant food.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I cleaned the Ionic Pro Air Purifier.  I showered, and I cleaned up.

Note: <888> 05/07/09 Thursday 11:55 P.M..  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  Have a good night.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/07/09 Thursday 11:15 P.M..  After dinner, I chatted with a relative and a friend.  I got to thinking about how many pounds of rice does one get from an acre of land.  Not much happening around here as far as I can tell.  I guess there is not a lot going on around here.  I saw one strange thing downtown this evening, but I will not mention it.

The Queen Mary II is delivering a new group of prisoners tomorrow QM2 - Itinerary - 2009 .  I guess we should send a group of prisoners over there.  CIO  

Note: <888> 05/07/09 Thursday 8:10 P.M..  I woke up at 5 A.M. this morning.  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I went back to bed until 9 A.M..  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I surfed the internet for a while.   I ate two hotdogs on buns with ketchup and mustard and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and the last dill pickle slice and some watered down passion punch.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out, and I threw out some garbage.  I went by CVS, and I bought 4 buy one get one free of CVS AA alkaline batteries for $6.49 for two 10 packs for and .78 tax for $13.76 total.  I went by the Chase Bank on Greenwich Avenue.  I then sat out briefly downtown.  I then went to my 3 P.M. appointment early, and I sat outside at my 3 P.M. appointment for a while.  After my 3 P.M. appointment, I returned home.  I picked up my mail.  I then went back downtown, and I went by the  Chase Bank just west of Greenwich Avenue on West Putnam Avenue.  I then went by the Wachovia Bank on Havemayer Place, and I paid my rent to the Greenwich Housing Authority.  I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought a "Lucky 7" scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I gave my calling card to another local photographer.  I chatted with a dog walker.  Arts on the Avenue Greenwich Arts Council was starting this evening, so lots of people were out and about after the rain.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought four Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips for $1.50 each for $6 total.  I finished my walk.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a pound and a half of sliced Stop and Shop Danish ham for $4.99 a pound $7.98, a pound of sliced Stop and Shop white premium cheese for $4.99 a pound for $4.61, a 30 ounce jar of Hellmann's extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise for $2.99, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, green Chiquita bananas for .68 a pound for $2.12, broccoli crowns for $1.99 a pound for $2.13, and a bulb of garlic for $2.99 a pound for .51 for $23.33 total.  I then returned home, and I put away my purchases.  I had two bothersome telephone calls from a bothersome neighbor that I ignored.  I will now reheat and eat the same linguine and tomato meat sauce with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and watered down passion punch.  CIO     

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 9:10 P.M..  For a bigger picture of the reality of liberal america, you can try opening the picture below in a new window.  I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will move on to dream land.  CIO  

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 8:25 P.M..  You can look at "Night Visible" at NexSat, NRL/NPOESS Next-Generation Weather Satellite Demonstration Project to see where the lights are still on in America at night.  If they still have lights at night, more than likely there is a little bit more prosperity than where there are no lights.  It seems to be all lighted up from Washington D.C. to Boston, so more than likely the liberal establishment still have a bit of money, also the lights are still on around Tampa and Disney World and up around Niagara Falls.  More than likely the high tech generation whom seem to think they run the world are not aware of how much energy they consume in their efforts to save the environment.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 7:25 P.M..  I went outside after my meal, and I threw out the garbage.  I straightened up the items in the boot of the Audi.  The three folding CVS beach chairs are now easier to reach.  I put about a third of a quart of Castrol 10W30 motor oil in the Audi engine.  I checked the flashlights.  The small florescent light in the passenger door pocket does not work with new batteries.  The bulb is burned out.  The orange flashlight on the floor on the passenger side works just fine.  The yellow and black flashlight in the pocket on the driver's side door needed new batteries.  The old batteries had corroded, so I cleaned out its inside, and I put in two new alkaline D batteries, and it now works just fine.  I chatted with neighbors.  I walked around the building.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 5:10 P.M..  The www.cl-p.com meter reader was here a second time in recent days.  He tried to read the meters with the electronic signal, but it did not work, so he had the building custodian let him in the electric meter room.

After I rearranged the pictures by the large palm tree in a new frame, and I put the older pictures in the frame by the French reproduction chair.  I left the broken frame behind the bedroom door.  I put the rest of the pictures in my most recent photo album.  I threw out the toner bottle and its packaging.  I chatted with neighbors about the price of tea in China. 

I will now make the same omelet dinner as two nights ago.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 3:20 P.M..  I went outside, and I waited for the mail to be delivered.  I received my pictures from www.kodakgallery.com and the toner for the Minolta PagePro 1250W laser printer Minolta QMS PagePro 1250 1250W 1250E Toner Hi-Yld 150g - eBay (item 360119683146 end time May-26-09 16:56:41 PDT) for $6.99 and $4.95 shipping for $11.94 total.  I removed the 1250W toner cartridge, and I removed its end cap with a small screw driver and needle nose pliers, and I put the funnel cap on the toner bottle, and I squeezed the toner into the toner cartridge working over a paper towel to avoid messing.  It is enough for 6,000 sheets.  I put the toner cartridge cap back on.  I put the toner cartridge back in the Minolta PagePro 1250 laser printer, and it works just fine.  I moved it back to the left of the Lexmark E238 laser printer to the right of the primary Vista computer monitors, so the Minolta PagePro 1250W laser printer will still be my primary Vista computer printer.  I put the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer with the new 1,000 sheet starter cartridge back to the right of the FIC server monitor.  I chatted with a relative who also got the extra set of pictures that I ordered.  I will now put some of the pictures in a spare frame that I have, and the others in my photo album.  I still have not gotten my rent bill from the Greenwich Housing Authority.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 2:15 P.M..  Tracking is UPS: Tracking Information on the order for Compatible High Yield Black Laser Toner Cartridge for Lexmark 23800SW For E238 Series for $39.80 and $5.95 shipping and 5% savings with coupon code "aaa5" for $43.76 total.

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 1:35 P.M..  After dinner, I threw out the garbage.  I picked up some loose paper in the parking lot.  I chatted with neighbors.  I walked around the building.  I chatted with a relative.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/06/09 Wednesday 11:55 A.M..  I woke up at 7 A.M..  I had somebody call last night trying to leave a text message on my land line which one can not do.  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.   I showered, and I cleaned up.

On the computers with Vista and Windows 7 the Lexmark E238 laser printer printouts with graphics were too light, so I selected from the Printing Preferences for the E238 "Advanced", and then I selected for Printer Features Toner Darkness, I changed it from Printer Default to 10, and for Picture Grade, I changed it from Printer to On, so now the Lexmark E238 Laser printer prints out just fine.  On the Epox computer, the Hauppauge 1600 TV card does not work with the WinTV2000 program for Vista in Windows 7, but the Windows Media Center does work with it.  On the Northgate Syntax computer, the generic Hauppauge TV card does not work with Windows 7.  One the Abit computer, the Leadtek TV Expert TV card does work with Windows 7 with the Vista drivers.

I will now make my regular linguine and tomato meat sauce with grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and I will eat half of it with watered down passion punch, and I will refrigerate half in a Rubbermaid container.  I went out earlier, and threw out the garbage, and I chatted with neighbors.  CIO   

Note: <888> 05/05/09 Tuesday 7:15 P.M..  I also ate the last piece of pound cake.  I went outside, and I threw out the garbage.  I chatted with neighbors.  I picked up the mail.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  Have a good evening.  It is suppose to quit raining about 10 A.M. tomorrow morning with a high of 66 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/05/09 Tuesday 5:55 P.M..  I burned two copies of the Windows 7 64 bit also to DVD.  The building custodian barrowed a small jeweler's screw drive to fix his Ipod.  I installed Windows 7 on the Epox, Northgate, and Abit computers in secondary partitions.  I then configured them.  The Netgear FR114P print server now works with Windows 7, but on the Northgate and the Abit computers, I had to install it as an administrator.  Thus all three computers are installed on the printer network with Windows 7 connected to both the Brother and Lexmark laser printers.  I have Open Office 3.01 on them and a few other smaller programs.  The Netgear Storage device would not install.  I did not try to install the Samsung color laser printer Netgear USB print server either.  I am backing up all partitions on the Epox and the Abit to the second hard drives with Vista, and I am backing up the Northgate Syntax with Windows 7 to the Maxtor external hard drive for both partitions.  I will now eat two hotdogs with buns with mustard and ketchup and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and a dill pickle slice with watered down passion punch.  My 3 P.M. appointment was cancelled.  I have it next Tuesday at 3 P.M..  I have the paper work ready for filing for the Renter's rebate then.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/05/09 Tuesday 9:50 A.M..  I chatted with www.cl-p.com , and they said they will send me and post my billing information in a week or two.

At Windows 7 Release Candidate Customer Preview Program I was able to download the 32 bit version and get the product key.  I will now burn to copies to DVD, and then I will install it on the three beta machines.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/05/09 Tuesday 9:00 A.M..  Before going to bed, I chatted with somebody from China that works in this area.  I ate a piece of pound cake with watered down passion punch.  I went to bed.  I woke up at 6 A.M..  I chatted with www.cl-p.com about not receiving a electric utility bill for the last two months.  They said because I am on rate 7 night rate to call after 9 A.M..

For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I chatted with a friend.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 7:50 P.M..  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I have a 3 P.M. appointment tomorrow.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 7:40 P.M..  I chatted with a relative.

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 6:45 P.M..  After my meal, I threw out the garbage, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I picked up my mail.  I got the $3.99 rebate check on the paper that I bought from Staples last month.  I chatted with a relative.   While I was outside, I noticed the apartment on the northeast side of the building on the ground floor has been vacated, so we will have a new tenant sooner or later.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 4:25 P.M..  I will now make a three omelet with processed cheese and grated parmesan and Romano cheese and five strips of fried bacon and a toasted English muffin with olive oil, which I will eat with some watered down passion punch.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 11:15 A.M..  Instead of reading Forbes which tends to be geared towards rich people, I will go out kill some time downtown, which I am very experienced at.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 10:30 A.M..  I also had a cup of Lipton tea with splenda and lemon juice after my dinner.  The general consensus is that since none of Jimmy Eldert's old friends from New York, Key West, and Nantucket ever hear from him anymore, and since he was so religious living across the street from the Catholic church in Key West, Florida and working at the Catholic church radio station in Santa Cruz, California, we figure that probably became a Trappist Monk and is making jams and jellies somewhere in the world.  Much the same could be said of my other neighbor Fred Von Mierers whom appears might still be alive or have a twin http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm , and he was also a neighbor in Nantucket, and I lived in his apartment on and off for a couple of years in Manhattan next to the United Nations www.un.org , and he lived in Key West, Florida before I met him in October 1973, just about the time I was fired from Boodles in Greenwich working as a waiter.  I think I met Jimmy at the same time.  From what I know if they are not trappists monks, they could be following around with the International Jet Set as some sort of retainers for some of the new money people in the world, and thus they do not keep track of their old poor neighbors from Nantucket.  Possibly they could be living privately in Palm Beach, Florida or one of the nearby areas that have developed over the years, and they do not pay much attention to people up North anymore with all of the new money in that area.  Since the both speak Spanish, they could be living somewhere where other people speak Spanish, and they can not be bothered with Cold Weather people.  Jimmy was one of the youngsters whose grandfather was a next door neighbor of Richard Nixon in Key Biscayne, Florida, and Fred lived with Richard Nixon's ambassador to Spain named Saltonstall in Madrid, Spain, so more than likely they might still be republicans.  If they see my web notes, they should look at:

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 9:00 A.M..  I will now eat the same primary meal as the last five days.  I will then shower and clean up.  There is no point in going out on a rainy day.  I can always read the back issues of www.forbes.com that I have not read yet.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/04/09 Monday 8:50 A.M..  I did some bottom fishing on the internet.  I threw out in the paper recycle bin a box of 500 Staples business envelopes that were wrinkled from dampness, and I also threw out most of my old scrap paper left over from the laser printers.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/03/09 Sunday 9:25 A.M..  Happy Birthday to a relative.  After the last note, I cleaned the Ionic Pro air purifier.  I slept until just before 4 P.M..  I watched the entire three hours of the Kentucky Derby.  The fellow that won it with "Watch That Bird" was from the Double Eagle Ranch in New Mexico.  Up until a couple of years ago, there use to be a fellow that worked at Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue that was from a ranch in New Mexico.  I ate a half size bag of microwave popcorn with watered down passion punch and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips.  I went to bed after the Derby.  The winning horse paid $103 on a $2 bet.  I woke up at 2:30 A.M..  I did two loads of laundry.  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I put clean linens on my bed including a clean second bottom fitted sheet, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I threw out the garbage.  I filled out my State of Connecticut Disability annual review form, and I sealed it with copies of the appropriate documentation.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went downtown, and I mailed the Connecticut Disability review form at the central Greenwich Post Office.  The tulips in front of the veterans monument across from the senior and the arts center are in full bloom.  There are yellow and pink purple ones.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I got three copies of the new Greenwich Metro North train station schedule.  They are good from May 3 to July 12, 2009.  At the location of the People's Bank at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue on the west side, they have dug out the foundation on the southeast side revealing four large old steel gasoline tanks that are mostly under the foundation of the existing building left over from the days, when the location was a Gulf Oil station.  It is hard to determine if they remove the gasoline tanks, if that part of the building will collapse or not.  It was not very busy out.  There were a couple of dog walkers, and that was about it.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 11.5 ounce Entenmanns's butter pound cake for $2.99, two Kraft 12 ounce 2% milk packages of sliced cheese one Swiss and one cheddar for $2.50 each, a 59 ounce container of Simply Orange orange juice with calcium for $3, a box of 2,000 flushes toilet tablets for $3.49, a 12 ounce container of French's Spicy brown style mustard for $1.50, three 64 ounce containers of Ocean Spray crangrape juice for $2.50 each, three 64 ounce containers of Ocean Spray cranberry juice for $2.50 each, a 48 ounce container of Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.99, a two tablet box of Stop and Shop blue toilet cleaning tablets for $2.69, a 9 ounce tub of Stop and Shop deli thin honey ham for $2.50 and a 9 ounce tub of Stop and Shop deli thin turkey for $2.50 for $43.66 total.  I then returned home, and I brought up my groceries, and I put them away.  I put one of the blue toilet tablets in the toilet tank with the 2,000 flushes white tablet, so the toilet water is now blue again and cleaner.  I will now make and eat the same dinner as the last four days.  CIO    

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 2:30 P.M..  The Kentucky Derby is on N.B.C. www.nbc.com  starting at 4 P.M. for three hours.  The actual horse race as I recall.  At www.kentuckyderby.com , there are three favorites in the field of 20, so possibly a long shot will win in the crowded field.  The favorites are Dunkirk #15 at 4:1, Pioneer of the Nile #16 at 4:1, and Friesan Fire #6 at 5:1.  My best long shot guess is Regal Ransom #10 at 30:1, but the only reason I think that is I happen to be wearing all blue today.  Of course the #15 and #19 horses have all blue colors too.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will take a nap for a while.  The actual race is suppose to be around 6 P.M. according to the Derby web site, but as I recall it use to more like 5 P.M. in the past, so I am not sure if the time on the web site is accurate.  CIO

From www.kodakgallery.com which has free shipping on over $5 order, I ordered two sets of 34 prints, with one set to be sent to a relative.  They are pictures of family members and few other pictures.  Both orders were $10.87 together.

I will now send out my weekly notes.  I will then make and eat the same dinner as the last three days.

I do not know if I will be awake later on this afternoon to watch the Kentucky Derby 135 , but I will try to stay awake longer to watch it.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 10:05 A.M..  I noticed a sure sign of the recession in Greenwich, Connecticut this past week.  I saw one middle age fellow taking his own shirts to the Chinese laundry on Greenwich Avenue in a Bentley convertible with the top down.  I guess they had to lay off their help.

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 9:50 A.M..  The Oregon Scientific weather station quit sending the outside temperature, so I replaced the four AA alkaline batteries on the base unit, and I went through the cumbersome process to remove the sending unit from outside the right living room window, and I put two new AA alkaline batteries in it, and I pressed the reset button on both units, and it now works just fine.  I have the instructions around here somewhere for setting some of the more advanced settings.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 9:00 A.M..  I chatted with a relative.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 8:20 A.M..  I changed the calendars to May 2009 yesterday.  On Thursday, I put a second 2000 flushes toilet tablet in the toilet tank.   The first one I had put in before was blue, and the second one is white, so maybe one is suppose to put the blue and white ones in at the same time.

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 7:40 A.M..  I moved the Lexmark E238 laser printer to the right of where it was placing it just to the left of the FIC server.  I dusted it off, and I filled it full of paper.  It is now easier to access without being blocked my EpsonStylus C120 inkjet printer.  I put the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer to the left of the Lexmark E238 laser printer, and I dusted off its printer stand.  I removed most of the scrap paper from the lower level of the printer stand to be recycled.  I put the box with the spare laser paper on the lower side of the printer stand.  Thus the Lexmark E238 laser printer is now the default printer on the primary Vista computer.  I chatted with a friend and a relative.  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 6:25 A.M..  For the Lexmark E238 Laser Printer, I ordered Compatible High Yield Black Laser Toner Cartridge for Lexmark 23800SW For E238 Series for $39.80 and $5.95 shipping and 5% savings with coupon code "aaa5" for $43.76 total.  I will start using the Lexmark E238 as my primary printer, since it is a $280 laser printer I got for $60 a couple of years ago.  It is also connected up on the network, so it is worth maintaining.  I have to move the EpsonStylus C120 to fill up its paper tray, which is not too complicated.  Once I use up the starter cartridge of 1000 sheets about a third used up, I will have 6000 sheets on the new toner cartridge.  CIO

Note: <888> 05/02/09 Saturday 5:30 A.M..  After the last note, I did a Vista Complete PC backup of the primary Vista computer from the first hard drive to the second hard drive.  While doing that I watched a program about a group of sailors sailing the Northwest passage that almost got stranded in the ice.  Apparently with global warming in the artic circle, large amounts of Greenhouse methane gas will be released into the atmosphere from the permafrost defrosting.  I had a telephone call from Nuance - The Leading Supplier of Speech Recognition, Imaging, PDF and OCR Solutions , and I chatted about this area.  I was told that Dragon Dictate version 10 works quite well unlike the earlier versions.  I have not yet tried the Voice recognition that comes with Vista.  I ate an English muffin.  I went to bed until 3 A.M..  For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I watered the plants. 

High of 64 degrees Fahrenheit today with rain until 4 P.M..  I will now shower and clean up.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/01/09 Friday 11:50 A.M..  I ate the same dinner as the last two days.  I also had a small baked onion with the meal.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will take a nap for a while.  CIO 

Note: <888> 05/01/09 Friday 10:10 A.M..  To refilled the Minolta PagePro 1250W toner cartridge, I ordered Minolta QMS PagePro 1250 1250W 1250E Toner Hi-Yld 150g - eBay (item 360119683146 end time May-26-09 16:56:41 PDT) for $6.99 and $4.95 shipping for $11.94 total.

The Vendor eBay Store - Toner Professional: Refill toner kits, Laser Toner cartridge, Color Laser Toner kits sells toner for the Minolta 1350W laser printer, but it says it has a 6000 limit chip that needs to be replaced on the toner cartridge, so I am not sure what the status would be on the starter cartridge.  They have this Konica Minolta QMS Page Pro 1300 1350W Toner & Chip HY - eBay (item 360128971287 end time May-03-09 21:14:29 PDT) , but it probably would not work on the starter toner cartridge.  I also have the Lexmark E238 laser printer with a starter cartridge that has minimal use.  I also have the HP basic LaserJet 1018 laser printer that is hardly used, but it does not seem to work on graphics. CIO

Note: <888> 05/01/09 Friday 8:05 A.M..  I printed out the last four months of my notes.  They are 228 pages long, and I bound them in two clamp binders.  I will leave them out on top of the Samsung color laser printer for a couple of days, before I put them in the left hallway bookcase on the lower shelf.

My notes are up to 7228 pages.  They are available for download from:

The Minolta 1250W laser printer is running out of toner, so I printed out most of the notes with the Brother 8840D laser machine, I shook the Minolta toner cartridge, so it does work, but it is running out.  The Brother has a fairly new 6000 sheet toner cartridge in it.  I will move the hardly used Minolta 1350W laser printer with a thousand sheet starter toner cartridge to where the Minolta 1250W was on the left side of the FIC server, and I will put the Minolta 1250W on the far right of the shelf to the right of the FIC server monitor, and I also have to install their drivers.  The Minolta 1350W will be primary work printer for the primary Vista computer for mostly printing out receipts.  CIO
