Note:<888>05/31/01 Thursday 7:40 P.M. EDT: I also had three pickled asperagus. I just finished dinner. Time for a after dinner nap. CIO
Note:<888>05/31/01 Thursday 6:20 P.M. EDT: I am letting two loaves of French bread rise before cooking. I made two packages of sugar free blueberry jello and for the cold liquid I added 1/3 French white wine, 1/3 orange juice, 1/3 canned mixed fruit juice and a can of mixed fruit. I am now chilling it in the refrigerator. I took a can of Alaskan pink salmon and flaked and added dashes of black pepper, garlic powder, basil, oregano, Italian spices and mixed it all together. I then shaped it all into four patties and powdered them with flour and put them in a oiled pan. I topped them off with Hungarian paprika and parsley. I will bake them at 350 degrees farenheit for about 20 minutes. I will have two French bread slices, with two salmon crouquets with a microwaved baked potatoe for dinner with ice tea in a while. CIO
Note:<888>05/31/01 Thursday 3:35 P.M. EDT: Well, I was up at 8 A.M., and I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I slept until 2 P.M., and I checked the mail. I had a tuna sandwich, three asperagus, and the rest of the stawberry mixture. CIO
Note:<888>05/30/01 Wednesday 9:50 P.M. EDT: I relaxed a bit. A friend paid a visit. I returned the Lockhart snow partridge picture that was leant to me which was hung behind the bedroom desk. I put the NASA Shuttle launch picture behind the bedroom desk. I took the Louisiana Heron Audubon picture from the right lower bedroom entrance and put it at the left side bathroom entrance. I had a Swanson's Hearty meat loaf dinner. I will now try to get some rest. CIO
Note:<888>05/30/01 Wednesday 3:35 P.M. EDT: I checked the mail. I left messages with a couple of friends. I washed sorted and restacked the dishes above the kitchen sink. I had a sliced French bread with tuna mixture with ice tea with one asperagus and the rest of the herbal brown rice. CIO
Note:<888>05/30/01 Wednesday 10:35 A.M. EDT: I went to bed about 1 A.M., and I was up at 8 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. CIO
Note:<888888888888>05/29/01 Tuesday 9:25 P.M. EDT: I just chatted with a friend. Time to try to rest. CIO
Note:<888888888>05/29/01 Tuesday 7:15 P.M. EDT: I relaxed a bit. I had a tuna mixed sandwich on white French bread slices, ice tea, a couple of pickled asperagus, and a half cup of herbal brown rice. Well time to start winding down for the day. CIO
Note:<888888>05/29/01 Tuesday 4:20 P.M. EDT: I relaxed a bit. I then cleaned all the pots and pans underneath the counter between the stove and sink. From the cleaning there are cleaning fumes in the apartment. Time for fresh air. CIO
Note:<888888>05/29/01 Tuesday 12:45 P.M. EDT: Well, I went out and I dusted the 1976 White Volvo 244 DL, aligned the seat belts, cleaned the front window. I relaxed a bit. I took another third of a loaf of French bread and split it, and made the same tuna mixture from a can of tuna, and made a tuna hoagie, ate it along with a couple of pickled asperagae, half the remaining stawberry mixture, and a half of cup of the herbal brown rice mixture along with ice tea. I then looked at my mail. I set the GE Profile 14,500 BTU remote control air conditioner at 78 degrees Farenheit Energy saver. CIO
Note:<888888>05/29/01 Tuesday 7:55 A.M. EDT: Well, we did not get any bad weather. I fixed my automobile battery jumper cables yesterday which had a loose pinch clamp. I tightened it with the vice crips. I did a few minor walk arounds the building. I figured possibly the Crater Lake, Oregon cougar paid us a visit to let us know there might be problems at Crater Lake. The last time that one went up, it changed the planet 6000 years ago. I believe their is a mountain near there called Mount Scott. Maybe skunk oil or pine oil will keep big cats away. I am not sure. I went downtown yesterday to meet up with a couple of old friends. We stopped by Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a relative afterwards. I had some reheated herbal brown rice and the rest of the turkey franks and beans mixture and ice tea. I went to bed about 8 P.M.. I was up at 5 A.M.. I then had a bowl of oatmeal, toasted slices of French bread with butter substitute, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee with milk and sugar. I turned off the computer when I slept just to let it be down for a while. I have not been cleaning up for the last five days to restore my natural skin body oils in the salt air. I guess I will clean up now. CIO

Severe Thunderstorms, Possibly Tornadoes, and Possibly Hail up to 2 inches.CIO
Note:<888>05/28/01 Monday 11:10 A.M. EDT: Well, I finished making the two loaves of French bread, and I bagged it in a platic bag and put it to the left of the refrigerator. I then wrote a letter and put it in the mail room out box for pick up tomorrow since today is a three day weekend. I topped off the oil on my car and the antifreeze coolant. The pasenger front window sprayer is still blocked on its passenger side hole. The car seems to be in good shape. I had a bowl of brown rice and a tuna fish sanwich and ice tea. I chatted with a relative. I am relaxing now. CIO
Note:<888>05/28/01 Monday 5:50 A.M. EDT: I was up at 3 A.M., and I had two medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I used the Welbilt bread French bread machine and set it on French bread recipie and added three cups of Pillsbury flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of Fleichman's yeast, two tablespoons sugar, one teaspoon salt, three tablespoons olive oil, one cup and a tablespoon warm water and ran it though its kneeding cycle. I then removed the dough, and I rolled it out into two long lengths the length of the double Ekart bread pan. Once it has risen an hour in a slightly warm convection oven, I will bake it about a half hour at 350 degrees Farenheit. I will then have 2 French bread baguetttes. I will now write a letter. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 6:00 P.M. EDT: Well, I will rest now. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 4:15 P.M. EDT: Well, I will try to get some sleep. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 2:25 P.M. EDT: Well, I did a bit of work. I relaxed a bit. I took a short walk. Well have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 7:45 A.M. EDT: Well, I relaxed a bit. I checked my heart rate on the pressure machine using the upper left arm instead of the lower left arm, and it was at 130-81 pulse 75. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 5:40 A.M. EDT: Well, I relaxed a bit. Time for bed. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 3:40 A.M. EDT: Well, I had some pork and beans and ice tea. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 2:55 A.M. EDT: I changed the salmon and gold mirror for the 2 foot by 3 foot mirror from the left hallway and put the salmon and gold mirror back to the right of the computer. I put NASA Shuttle launch mirror to the left of the bathroom door. Well, I think that solves that problem with the Mountain Lion lurking at least for my apartment, but in case of emergency fire entrance, it is more awkward. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 2:05 A.M. EDT: Possibly, I came up with a solution for the firemen entrance to the left of the air conditioner. I took the 2 foot by 15 inch salmon and gold framed mirror, put it facing outward through the plexiglass, so any intruder like a mountain lion would see it's own reflection and be scared off. It just might work. I took the NASA shuttle picture from above the bedroom desk, and put it to the right of the main computer. I took down the framed George W. Bush inaugural invitation from the kitchen entrance and switched it with the underlying picture of the Russian Tall Ship "KRUZENSHTERN" which could be one of those real white slavery ships with secret compartments, one hears about on the waterfront and put it above the bedroom desk. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 1:05 A.M. EDT: I put the bathroom closes hamper on the bedroom Danish table for easier agress to the toilet. The bathroom cieling is aluminum studs and sheet rock open to the higher false cieling, so it is not a secure location from a mountain lion. CIO
Note:<888>05/27/01 Sunday 12:40 A.M. EDT: Well, I can't fall asleep. I have a headache from the PineSol, I used for cleaning. I usually put it in a spray bottle, and spray it on tile, porcelain, silver, formica, steel, , but not finished wood and wipe it with a damp cloth. I use bleach on the cutting board. It says on the bottles that PinSol or Pine Cleaner is 15% to 18% pine oil and the rest and inert ingredient unnamed. I cleaned the cutting board with a teaspoon of bleach and a few drops of lemon oil. In the old Lanqueduc restaurant in Nantucket, we used to use bleach and baking soda to clean the cutting boards every night. I have a kick into the apartment Fire Emergency plexiglass window to the left of my air conditioner for fire emergency entrance about 15 inches by 24 inches pushing into the apartment. However, if and possibly a mountain lion were in the area, it could hop onto the roof to the second floor and push its way in through the family pictures, the Victorian lamp shade lamp, the curtains, the styrofoam, and the plexiglass secured by duct tape. On the duct tape, there is a pull flap for exiting also. I cleaned the display silver today, the brass displays, the spices racks above the sink and walls around them. I tried fixing the shell butane lighter on the bedroom dresser, but it still leaks butane. I plugged the GE cordless phone into the backup computer council, I put in a 15 watt turn light bulb in the bathroom. I put a unbent paper clip on the middle shelf left hallway bookcase, for unlocking the bathroom door. My kitchen and bedroom rechargeable flash lights don't work, and the old Lou Scott Everready plastic flash light and the Rayovac rubber flashlight are in the bedroom and the two Lantern lights are on the shelf behind the front entry, and the other rubber Rayovac flashlight is on the bar next to the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship souvenir whiskey jug. I put a 8 watt bulb in the book lamp on the right hallway bookcase; and that is about as much extra chores, I did. CIO
Note:<888>05/26/01 Saturday 7:55 P.M. EDT: Well I relaxed a bit. My heart rate is 128/80 pulse 98. Time for bed. CIO
Note:<888>05/26/01 Saturday 6:25 P.M. EDT: I tried to do a more thorough house cleaning and watering the plants. I checked the mail and threw out the garbage. A friend called. I had a tuna fish sandwich, reheated herbal brown rice, and ice tea. Well time to start winding down for the day. CIO
Note:<888>05/26/01 Saturday 10:20 A.M. EDT: I checked my blood pressure after the meal with the Omron Diastolic machine, I bought at the Hospital Thrift shop for $3.75, and it is 144 over 83 pulse 96. Well back to house cleaning. CIO
Note:<888>05/26/01 Saturday 9:40 A.M. EDT: I am still doing house cleaning. With my low blood pressure, and the low barometric pressure, I feel a bit woosy or light headed. I am doing a bit of dusting and light polishing. I think I will take a break, and I will have a tuna fish sandwich and the beans and franks mixture, and herbal brown rice, I made yesterday with ice tea. CIO
Note:<888>05/26/01 Saturday 5:20 A.M. EDT: I rested a bit. I had a flash back the other night, probably from the oven cleaner fumes. I thought I might be older than I actually am. I am pretty sure, I was born on May 9, 1950. Anyway, I thought I might be older, and about 1943, when I was working in the Willy's jeep factory doing time studies, I fell asleep under a tarp in the back of a high priority jeep. They supposedly crated it up, and sent it off to its purchaser. When they opened up the crate, they kept me around to help fix the jeep. All I remember it was a cold damp climate like here, and they kept me around to get the thing started. I use to spray karosine on the ignition with one of those oil spray cans to get the jeep going. However, that might be somebody else's flash back. CIO
Note:<888>05/26/01 Saturday 3:35 A.M. EDT: I went to bed about 4 P.M.. I was up at 2 A.M.. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I checked with West Point 1-845-938-4011, and they said graduation is next Saturday. I noticed the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop has a picture of Gene McArthur's husband for sale. The way I figure it, the Mountain Lion is always around here, unless it migrates too. Basically mustard seed in the sewage system might produce cat tails. Well time for house cleaning. CIO
Note:<888>05/25/01 Friday 2:15 P.M. EDT: I relaxed a bit. I had a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments and ice tea. I chatted with a relative. I will continue to relax. CIO
Note:<888>05/25/01 Friday 9:30 A.M. EDT: I finished cooking the brown rice in the Krups steamer and refrigerated it the large longitudinal container. I went for a walk around the building. I found some wire hangers in the community room back entrance and used them for extra shirts in my bedroom closet. I put the spare wood hangers in my right living room closet. I opened a can of tuna fish, and I mixed it with mayonaise, tads of oregano, Italian spices, basil, ground pepper, parsley, and a small bit of olive oil, and I mixed it together and put it in a small container in the refrigerator. I mixed the old sliced stawberry orange juice mixture which had a bit of mold and put it in a smaller container. I opened a can of A&P pork and beans and put it in a reubermaid container. I sliced two butterball turkey franks thinly and added them with a tablespoon of Heinz ketchup, a teaspoon of Temeraire Dijon French mustard, dashes of Lea and Perrins worchestershire sauce, Angostora bitters, McHilneys hot red chili pepper sauce, oregano, basil, Italian spices, garlic powder, black pepper, cinnemon, nutmeg, ginger, chili powder and mixed it together and reheated it in the GE Profile Sensor microwave and put it in the refrigertor. I am smoking the Phillie natural cigar cigarettes now, since I have four and a half cartons of them I got on sale at CVS for $3.75 a carton. CIO
Note:<888>05/25/01 Friday 6:15 A.M. EDT: I am making six quarts of herbal brown rice as before, but this time I did not use celery salt which has sodium, rosemary, thyme, and chile powder and French white wine; but all the ingredients as before. The Krups steamer takes 90 minutes for 2 cups of Carolina brown rice and 2.5 cups of liquid. CIO
Note:<888>05/25/01 Friday 5:35 A.M. EDT: I made the 12 quarts of ice tea with 10 Lipton orange peako, 2 Lipton green, 1 Twinings Prince of Wales, and I Twinings Earle Grey tea bags, a cup of sugar, and a few dashes of Angostora bitters. I also squeezed the juice from two oranges, two limons, and two limes and strained it and added it to the mixture. I am now making a pot of coffee for iced coffee. CIO
End of Scott's Notes week 05/25/01:
Note:<888>05/25/01 Friday 3:45 A.M. EDT: Yesterday was Queen Victoria's Birthday. She was born May 24, 1819 and has quite a few relatives. I was up at 2 A.M., and I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, ice tea, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I am making up a batch of ice tea. CIO
Note:<888>05/24/01 Thursday 6:45 P.M. EDT: I relaxed most of the morning. I checked my mail. I then returned to my apartment and relaxed. I had a peanut butter sandwich and ice tea. I then stopped by Exxon and I bought $12.50 of premium at $2.069 per gallon. It has dropped 7 cents since I last bought it. I then drove by the Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop, and I bought five green seltzer cartridges for .50 cents which I put in the left kitchen drawer. I then made my 3 P.M. appointment. I then drove down by the waterfront. I next returned home. I had some ice tea and reheated herbal rice. Time for bed. CIO
Note:<888>05/24/01 Thursday 3:35 A.M. EDT: I have been relaxing a bit. I just finished off the onion soup, along with two slices of toasted French bread with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter", and iced coffee. I guess I will relax a bit more. CIO
Note:<888>05/23/01 Wednesday 11:25 P.M. EDT: I slept from 4 P.M. to 10 P.M.. I had a meal of toasted French bread slices with butter substitute and parmesian cheese, reheated herbal brown rice, orange juice, ice coffee, and vitamins. The French bread slices because of the loaf pan shape and the size of the loaf look like mushroom slices. CIO
Note:<888>05/23/01 Wednesday 3:00 P.M. EDT: I went out, and I threw out a Tropicana orange juice carton in the dumpster. Despite the heavy rain recently, it sounds like there is a lot of traffic in the area and over on I-95. I think I will head off to bed. CIO
Note:<888>05/23/01 Wednesday 1:15 P.M. EDT: Well, I have been relaxing most of the day. A relative sent me by UPS some shirts, sheets, and towels. I believe the hand towels are orange. I have been relaxing a bit in this damp weather since my arthrtis is a bit aggrevated with the constant changed of temperature in the spring. I have plenty of food. I am trying to change my diet a bit to loose weight as summer approaches. I just had some toasted French bread slices with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter", and parmesian cheese and ice tea. Well time to rest some more. CIO
Note:<888>05/23/01 Wednesday 4:25 A.M. EDT: I channel surfed a bit. I just had some onion soup with parmesian cheese, a couple of slices of toasted French bread, the aperagus ends vinegarette, and ice tea. I will continue relaxing. CIO
Note:<888>05/23/01 Wednesday 2:20 A.M. EDT: I was awaken by a call from a friend at about 9:30 P.M., and I chatted. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I rested and relaxed a bit. CIO
Note:<888>05/22/01 Tuesday 3:20 P.M. EDT: I relaxed most of the day. I checked the mail. I just had herbal brown rice, onion soup, and French bread. I guess it is time for bed. CIO
Note:<888>05/22/01 Tuesday 9:05 A.M. EDT: I have a migrane headache on the right side of my head. It could be lower blood pressure caused by the lower barometric pressure today. I am just resting. CIO
Note:<888>05/22/01 Tuesday 5:05 A.M. EDT: I had some onion soup with parmesian cheese, French bread with margerine, five asperagus vinegarette, herbal brown rice, and iced coffee. I feel like relaxing, so I will watch TV. CIO
Note:<888>05/22/01 Tuesday 3:50 A.M. EDT: My metabolic system seems a little messed up lately. If it is not allergic reaction to pollen or cats, it could be I was exposed to some sort of unfriendly agent while outside recently or perhaps since I did not use gloves or fumes from the oven cleaner when I cleaned the stove on Sunday. There have been a lot of long Lincoln livery vehicles driving around recently, perhaps they are using some sort of unfriendly additive in their fuel mixture which causes allergic type reactions. Well, I am just relaxing. CIO
Note:<888>05/22/01 Tuesday 1:10 A.M. EDT: The natural defence against predatory mountain lions is tabacco with tiger scent. Zyn stationary told me, they would be getting Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tabacco this week, which I believe has tiger scent in it since tigers urninate on its tabacco leaves in the fields of India, which is why it comes in a orange and black pouch. CIO
Note:<888>05/22/01 Tuesday 12:50 A.M. EDT: I went to bed after the last message. I had a call from a relative. I woke up about 9:30 P.M., and I chatted with a friend. I tried to rest. I had breakfast of three medium boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. My allergies were bothering me a lot today. I took a Benadryl before I went to bed at 4 P.M.. Since it has rained, I figured the pollen allergies would not be as bad. I have bad allergic reactions to cats. My neighbor downstairs has a cat, but that never bothers me. Last year at about this time possibly a Mountain Lion jumped on my car up by the reservoir. My allergies were triggered. Since the same allergic reaction is bothering me now, I would guess that the same migratory Mountain Lion is possibly in the area at this time of year. Since I am low on funds, I will continue to remain inside. CIO
