I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue. The train seemed to be running normally. I then stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop, and I bought two brass and glass hurricane oil lamps 10.5 inches high with 4 inch high glass globes for $1 each $2 total. I next stopped by the Greenwich Library, and I read the Greenwich Times and the Wall Street Journal. I checked out Charles R. Schwab's "You're Fifty, Now What?" I then returned home, and I put the hurricane oil lamps on the long bureau with the other copper hurricane candle lamps and the brass candle sticks. I had three 1/3 inch slices of cold eye round beef with Lea and Perrins worchestershire sauce, steamed corn on the cob, steamed fresh green beans, and ice tea.

I filled the hurricane lamps with about 6 oz. of oil each leaving about an inch air at the top. I put them back on the long bureau with silver coasters. I adjusted the wicks to about half inch flames. The glass globes do get hot. They seem to work fine. I then put the lamp oil in a glass speghetti noodle holder, so the plastic bottle is secure from flame and put it on the upper mahogany kitchen shelf with the other various items. I then pulled out a short strand of copper wire from a piece of electrical wire, and I used it to clean my Volvo windshield passenger side spray noozle and adjust them. I chatted with a friend.

Note:<888>06/25/01 Monday 7:10 A.M. EDT: I flipped through the last ten issues of the Greenwich Post. The "www.greenwichtimes.com" says that the Metro North commuter trains are having problems this morning. CIO

Note:<888>06/25/01 Monday 6:00 A.M. EDT: I updated Internet Explorer 6.0 to beta 2 with its additional components.

Note:<888>06/24/01 Sunday 6:30 A.M. EDT: Bad News from the BBC "http://www.savebbc.org/" . CIO

Note:<888>06/24/01 Sunday 6:15 A.M. EDT: I did some minor computer maintenance. I updated ICQ. I updated "http://mrscott.com/nasa.htm" and "http://mrscott.com/nasa-104.htm" weather permiting. WeatherNode 4.0 still works on my computer, although the company has quit the weather software business for lack of advertising revenue. It seems to freeze with the Apache server running. I might relax a bit before going out. CIO

Note:<888>06/24/01 Sunday 4:15 A.M. EDT: I proofed the links on "http://mrscott.com/weather.htm" . CIO

Note:<888>06/24/01 Sunday 3:05 A.M. EDT: I was up at midnight. I backed up the C: drive to the D: drive. I put the Slaymaker rechargeable jumpstart system and its adaptor and instructions back in the box, and I put the box by the bedroom door entrance next to the bureau. Since I don't drive too much, I figure there is no point keeping it in my Volvo; since batteries tend to deteriorate faster when exposed to extreme temperatures. I will use it should, if I ever need it which is doubtful if I ever make a long trip. Also it will be handy for use locally. I generally don't jumpstart other people's cars since that risks liability, and also in my Volvo owner's manual, it recommends not jump starting car battery to car battery since it can jeapardize the electronic ignition. Thus the new jumpstart system will be in my apartment close by should the need arise. It would also be handy for emergency lighting or powering a cellphone or other device like a laptop computer during a long power shortage or other cigarette adaptor type device. I have a relative who might be interested in having it, so I will check and see later today, if they are interested; but shipping 22 pounds up north would cost money. I have a feeling they already have one though. Thus even though, it is summer; it is always smart to be prepared and start getting ready for next winter. I had breakfast of oatmeal, sliced French bread toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I guess, I will clean up shortly and possisbly go out in a little while depending on the weather conditions. Sitting next to the 72 degrees farenheit air conditioner recently, I always enjoy some of the summer warmth. Also at sunrise depending on the weather, bird watching can be interesting. I have an Audubon field guide, I have never had a chance to study. I believe the last bird guide, I studied was down south before I moved up north in 1961. Of course down south when bird watching one always has to watch out for other animals, reptiles, and insects; so I suppose the same would apply up north. CIO

Note:<888>06/23/01 Saturday 4:35 P.M. EDT: I relaxed a bit. NOAA weather warning system is going off continually with heavy rain warnings. I chatted with a relative. I went over to Bank of New York in Port Chester, New York and used the ATM. I then stopped by Odd Job, and I bought a Slaymaker rechargeable Jumpstart System Heavy-Duty 12 Volt DC Power Supply with 260 PSI Air Compressor which is a rechargeable jump start system that also has a cigarette plug adaptor which could be used for long term cell phone usage with a cell phone cigarette lighter adaptor, if you don't mind it's 22 pound weight. It is regularly $99.99, and it was on sale for $49.99 plus $3.37 tax for $53.36 total. I will keep it underneath my passenger front seat if it will fit there. I will put the cigarette adaptor charging unit in the glove box and the 120 volt charging adaptor in the Volvo glove box also. The air pump can not be used for more than ten minutes at a time, then must cool ten minutes. It would be handy for off road vehicles. The cables are only 18 inches, but that is long enough to reach both battery terminals when jump starting. It also has a light and comes fully charged. It is model number #8010, and Slaymaker has been in business since 1888. It has a one year limited warranty. The Slaymaker number is 1-888-919-9930. I then returned to Greenwich, and I stopped by the waterfront, and I showed the fishermen and other waterfront observers what I found on sale at Odd-Job. Well time for some Jell-o mixture and ice tea and then bed. Have a good evening. CIO

However, first I sprayed a little bleach around the bathbub edge where it was a little moldy on the cauck, and this removed the mold stain from the caulk. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out a while. I then drove down by the waterfront for a while. I next sat out for a bit more downtown. I stopped by Exxon, and I bought $12 of premium at $2.039 a gallon. I then stopped by Stop and Shop, and I bought two S&S 48 oz. tomato juices for $1.29 each, green seedless grapes at .99 a pound for $2.56, and two ears of sweet corn for .67 both for $5.81 total. I returned home. I vacuumed the apartment. I had dinner three cold 1/3 inch slices of eye round with Lea and Perrins worchestershire sauce, steamed corn on the cob, and steamed fresh green beans with ice tea. CIO

Note:<888>06/23/01 Saturday 4:15 A.M. EDT: I went to bed yesterday at 4 P.M., and I was up at midnight. I had breakfast of oatmeal, sliced French bread toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I just finished house cleaning and watering the plants. I still have to vacuum a little later. I just had two hot dogs with buns and condiments and ice tea. I will now clean up and go out for some fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>06/22/01 Friday 3:00 P.M. EDT: I cleaned up again and washed off the cut hair with a shower and shampoo. I went back out. I sat downtown a while.

Note:<888>06/22/01 Friday 11:10 A.M. EDT: I went out, and I drove by the waterfront. I then drove over to Tod's Point and drove around and sat out watching the morning sea gulls for a while. I stopped by Off Center hair cuts, and I got a hair cut for $16 plus $4 tip for $20 total. I next stopped by Staples. I then went by the Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove back down by the waterfront, and I chatted with a local. I stopped by Smokes for Less, and I bought a carton of Seneca Lights 100s for $19. I returned home. The building custodian was just finishing up installing the repaired drain fixture. One of the metal collars had corroded away. I went out, and I installed on the Volvo the new emissions hose with the hose clamps, I bought two days ago. I game back up, and the bathroom sink drain was repaired. I had a few thin slices of eye round beef on bread with mayonaise and salt and pepper with ice tea and some of the jell-o mixture. CIO

Note:<888>06/22/01 Friday 6:10 A.M. EDT: I had a couple of hotdogs with buns and condiments. My bathroom sink drain pipe is leaking, so I left a message with the Housing Authority answering service. I put a plastic bucket underneath it for now. I just finished cleaning up, so I will go out now. CIO
