Note: <888> 09/30/07 Sunday 11:45 P.M..:  Now that summer and September are almost over with all of the rich people are departing the area to go back south to warmer areas, I guess we are now going back to being Greenwich, China.  Thus I made up a batch of Chinese stir fry.  I made up a batch of flavored rice http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/mlsrice.htm .  I took out my Chinese wok, and I added about four tablespoons of olive oil and four pads of 50% less fat butter.  I then peeled and minced four cloves of garlic, and I added them to the wok.  I then took two half inch thick boneless pork tenderloins, and I cut them into half inch to a third inch by one to 1.5 inch strips.  I then peeled and diced a medium large onion.  I then cut into small half inch to 3/4th inch chunks about 3/4th of a pound of broccoli crowns.  I then cut into quarters lengthwise about 35 baby carrots.  I then turned on the electric burner heat underneath the Wok to medium high, and  once the fat was bubbling, I added a the pork and onions, and I sautéed it all until the pork was lightly browned.  I seasoned it with ground black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, Old Bay Seasoning, red cayenne pepper, beef boullion seasoning and bacon bits.  After a few minutes of stirring the ingredients, I added the carrots and broccoli, and I mixed it all together with more seasoning and a couple more tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of sesame oil.  I cooked the ingredients for about 8 minutes stirring them regularly, which is why they called it stir fry.  I then added about a third of a cup of Kikkoman soy sauce, and I mixed it all together, and I continued cooking the ingredients for about another four minutes stirring them frequently.  I use a large wooden spoon to stir the ingredients with.  I then added half the rice to a large dinner plate spread over the plate, and I spread half the cooked stir fry ingredients over the rice.  I put the remaining food in two separate Rubbermaid containers with lids, and I refrigerated them.  I ate the meal with a glass of iced tea, and then I cleaned up the kitchen.  CIO     

Note: <888> 09/30/07 Sunday 10:05 P.M..:  I watched on channel 727 a High Def movie "Super Volcano" Supervolcano (2005) (TV) about a Super Volcano  eruption out in Yellowstone National Park in the state of Wyoming.  It seemed to be accurate about what could happen.  I ate two bowls of gold fish crackers.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/30/07 Sunday 8:30 P.M..:  I chatted with a relative.  I ran the cleaning cycles on the three ink jet printers attached to the primary Vista computer.  They all seem to work well enough, although I hard ever use them.  I printed out my September 2007 Microsoft Money 2006 report.  I put it in an envelope to mail to an interested relative.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/30/07 Sunday 6:40 P.M..:  I woke up at noon when a relative called.  I went back to bed until 2 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I watched a Hi Def television program about Antarctica.  Since my AT&T Go Phone is a Motorola C139, I could ordered this device which would work with a non Bluetooth wireless phone Cardo Scala 500 Bluetooth Headset and Bluetooth Adapter Combo US Retail SCALA COMBO at TigerDirect.com , however at 25 cents a minute incoming and outgoing, I do not use my wireless telephone that much, particularly since I have unlimited long distance on my apartment Optimum Voice telephone.  I chatted with a relative watching a documentary on the Normandy invasion.  I guess the summer residents should be pulling out of town today to head further south for their long winter sojourns in warmer parts of the world.  Although it is a nice day, I did not go out to conserver on fuel, and by avoiding going to the Knights of Columbus flea market, I did not spend any money on items that I can not afford at this point in my budget.  Alas I can not afford this Newegg.com - Acer Aspire AS5100-3825 NoteBook AMD Turion 64 MK-36(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 1GB DDR2 533 120GB DVD Super Multi ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP - Retail , and since I do not work on computers outside of my apartment, I do not really need it, just to sit around the Greenwich Library and Starbucks trying to look like I am busy.  I much more prefer the comforts of my apartment and the conveniences.  I ate two bowls of goldfish crackers.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/30/07 Sunday 4:10 A.M..:  I watched part of a movie on the Turner Movie Channel about they treat Yankees down South.  The title of the movie is They Won't Forget (1937) .  Of course, everyone around here knows that Nelson Rockefeller's family lives way upstate in New York in North Tarrytown, New York way up the Hudson River, so more than likely "N.R.A." stands for something else, for example N could stand for Norway or Netherlands, R could stand for Royal and A could stand for Army.  However, the Norwegian Army is called the Royal Norwegian Army, so more than likely since the Dutch always get everything backwards, it might stand for National Restaurant Association, but more than likely in a conservative republican town, it stands for Northern Railroad Association, but since I had seen the sweater before, and since I know quite a few people in Greenwich, Connecticut have National Rifle Association stickers on their cars, more than likely it stands for National Rifle Association - NRA Website Gateway which I became a member of back in 1959 http://mikelouisscott.com/lmc-1959.jpg probably before that youngster was born.  Thus at the ripe age of nine years old down in Alabama, since I was a lousy swimmer, and they knew I would never go anywhere in the Navy around the ocean, they started training me in marksmanship.  However, having worked on Personal Computers with lousy monitors for 20 years and read books most of the rest of my life, I probably could not hit the back side of a barn.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/28/07 Friday 10:35 P.M..:  On the Epox computer with the LeadTek XP Expert TV card, the card still does not work with the Vista Ultimate Media Center, but it works with the LeadTek TV program.   I made and ate a baloney and cheese sandwich, which I ate with potato chips and a sliced dill pickle and a glass of ice tea.  Since it is starting to get cooler around here, I would imagine some of our summer residents will be returning back south this Sunday on the last day of September when their leases run out on their summer residents.  However, we can always depend on a few people from the north country whom do not mind spending the winter here or for that matter it is warm here in the winter by upper Midwest standards too.  Of course when I first moved here in the summer of 1961, we were ice skating on the ponds in back country Greenwich on six inches of ice frozen by mid October, so currently the weather in this area is warmer, however that might change sometime in the future depending on worldwide volcanology activity.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/28/07 Friday 8:45 P.M..:  I got the LeadTek XP Expert TV card working on the Epox computer in both XP and Vista SP1.  The problems I had was that I had the FM antenna plugged into the TV plug and the coaxial TV cable plugged into the FM plug.  I also had to change the cable from the LeadTek card to the sound card to enable the sound properly.  Thus it works just fine.  I read in the tech notes for Vista SP1, one can enable it three times for 30 days after its original 30 day period, so the beta is basically good for 120 days.  I ate two bowls of whole wheat gold fish crackers.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/28/07 Friday 6:40 P.M..:  I woke up at 2 P.M.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I watered the plants, and I put more white vinegar in the scent bowl in the living room.  I threw out the garbage and the old newspapers.  I chatted with some neighbors, and I was told a local Japanese fellow runs www.ibm.com .  That is the first I heard that.  I tried fiddling with the coaxial on the Sony Television splitting it to the Epox computer, but the Leadtek computer card would not work off the cable box.  I am now doing an advanced channel scan on the Epox computer Leadtek XP Expert card.  It seems like www.cablevision.com changed the frequencies, so I my three oldest TV cards to not work off www.cablevision.com .  I disconnected the longer Coaxial cable from the bathroom where it split off by the Sony television, since I am no longer using it.  I put it in the sweater closet.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/27/07 Thursday 10:40 P.M..:  I woke up at 4 P.M. today.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  About 5 P.M. UPS delivered the high definition Cable TV box.  I took off the Visioneer 4400 scanner that was hooked up to the FIC server to the right of the primary Vista computer, and I put it away underneath the side board in the bedroom.  I removed the tea tray, and I put it in the kitchen, and I removed the big B&M bean cans.  I took out the old analog Cable box, and I put it in the HDTV shipping box with its remote control and power cable and return UPS label, and I set it on the back of the down sofa, and I will try to drop it off at a UPS shipping point, when I have time.  I hooked up the new HDTV cable box the same way as the analog box, and I called up Cablevision to activate it.  It works just great, and I get 40 high definition Cable Channels as well the analog channels on the Acer 22 inch center computer LCD panel.  It also works with the Vista Media Center and the Hauppauge WinTV2000 programs, but I don't think they are high definition.  I am not sure.  To use it, one has to turn on the high definition cable box with its remote control and the Kworld High Definition remote control to channel 3, and it all works through the Cablevision High Definition cable box.   It is as clear as a bell.  I left the two remote controls by the cable box.  I have not set up the Hauppauge remote control that works with the Media Center but it might work with it as it is already set up.  I replaced a bent tip bulb by the Abraham Lincoln picture.  I will now make the same two sautéed center cut pork tenderloins as two nights ago, and I will eat them with reheated flavored rice and steamed baby carrots and broccoli crowns with a glass of iced tea.  The Queen Mary II QM2 - Itinerary - 2007, so we might have visitors tomorrow.

Note: <888> 09/27/07 Thursday 11:25 A.M..:  I went ahead, and I did a Vista SP1 beta Complete PC backup from the first hard drive to the second hard.   The beta also prompts one to make a System Recovery Disk after the backup, which I did.  I chatted with a relative and a friend and left a message with another friend.  I have been experiencing a higher level of hacking against my Vista computer than normal this past evening and morning.  The same thing happened before the hurricanes in Florida two years ago.  Possibly Hurricane Karen which early this morning was tracking towards Bermuda is more than a threat than it seems at the moment.   Whatever, the case it shows a certain level of sabotage on someone's part, and if they did it to a government computer during time of war, they would be subject to the espionage laws as they apply to war time sabotage during time of war.  I will now shut down the primary Vista SP beta computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I have been awake for 24 hours with only four hours of sleep before that, so I am a bit tired.  I will not be going to my 3 P.M. appointment today.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/27/07 Thursday 8:15 A.M..:  I went out after the last message.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I picked up a prescription, and I bought a package of 10 painted white metal clothes hangers for $2.99 and .18 tax for $3.17 total.  I then drove down by the waterfront, and I said hello to a former neighbor, and I chatted with one of the regular fishermen.  I saw the big boat art gallery at the hotel down there.  I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I chatted with another local.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought buy one get one free of Dock Side boxes of 4 lump crab meat cakes for $7.99 both boxes and a 12.5 ounce bag of Lay's lightly salted potato chips for $2.50 for $10.49 total.  I then returned home, and I chatted with a relative whom was pulling out to sea.  I used some of the hangers, since I was short on them.   I then ate some gold fish crackers.  Over the night and early morning hours, I finished off the box of goldfish crackers.  I tried installing Vista SP beta full install as an upgrade on the primary Vista computer, but it would not allow that.  I then ran "msconfig", and I typed down all of my startup programs.  I then disabled all of them.  I printed them out.  I then disabled Norton Antivirus.  I then rebooted the system, and I installed Vista SP beta and after a bit of troubleshooting of unknown origin, I was able to get it to install.   Possibly the Cablevision Cable Box software upgrade going on at the same time interfered with the upgrade process, but I was able to get Vista SP beta installed.  I had to reconfigure my four monitor arrangement in the computer setup.  The primary Vista Ultimate System with SP beta seems to be running just fine.  I enabled the startup programs from "msconfig" .  Thus the system is still the same with the Service Pack installed.  Since I have two external backups of my original install and configuration, I could back up the Vista System with the Service Pack beta, but if I did it hard drive to hard drive, I would lose my Final Release configuration of Vista on the hard drive that might be worth saving.  Thus I will think about it before backing it up.  I watched part of a movie about Oxford University in the old days.  I chatted with a neighbor when I returned home, and I showed the neighbor my current Computer setup.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/24/07 Monday 3:05 P.M..:  I stayed up until about 1 A.M. this morning.  I ate two bowls of goldfish crackers.  I woke up this morning, and I ate breakfast of oatmeal, 2 slices of toast, orange, grape, and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements, and coffee with spenda and milk.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I watered the plants using 8 drops of Shultz liquid plant food per quart of water.  I put out more white vinegar in the scent bowl in the living room.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out, and I threw out some garbage.  I went by the Valley Road Post Office, and I picked up my mail for the last two weeks.  The $65 rebate check on the HP Laser printer arrived, and I put it in the Chase Bank on Mason Street when I went there next.  I then went by the Greenwich Housing Authority offices on Milbank Avenue, and I paid my rent there, since their billing system is not working properly this month.  I was not able to pick up a new front door pass card, since the individual I would get it from was not there today.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop.  I than went by Val's Liquors at the Stop and Shop plaza, and I bought a 10 ounce bottle of Angostura bitters for $9.50 with tax.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a loaf of Stop and Shop 12 grain bread for $2.29, buy one get one free of six packs of English muffins for $2.99 both, a 24 ounce bar of Stop and Shop New York Extra Sharp cheddar cheese for $4.99, a pound of sliced American cheese at $5.49 a pound for $5.52, 1.5 pounds of German baloney for at $2.49 a pound for $4.28, a quart jar of B&G sliced kosher dill pickles for $2.99, a 3 liter container of Capatriti Extra Virgin Olive oil for $14.99, a 10 ounce bottle of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauces for $2.99, a 100 count box of Splenda packets for $3.99, a six pack of 5 ounce boneless center cut pork chops for $1.99 a pound for $4.52, a 2 pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, fresh Chiquita bananas at .54 a pound for $1.77, broccoli crowns at $1.69 a pound for $1.50, and a bulb of garlic for $2.99 a pound for .60 for $56.41 total.  I then returned home, and I brought up the groceries, and I put away the mail.  I sorted out and threw away my old periodicals.  I put my new www.geico.com insurance card in my automobile glove box.  I took out the title to the Buick Wagon from the glove box, and I put it in safe keeping in the apartment.  I chatted with a relative.  I had a telephone call from www.microsoft.com and from Federal Computer week.  I ate a baloney and cheese sandwich and a glass of iced tea and a slice of dill pickle and sour cream and onion potato chips.   I have to wait this afternoon for my three packages from www.ups.com to arrive.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/23/07 Sunday 10:20 P.M..:  I put a little bit of Italian seasoning and grated parmesan cheese on the Stouffer's 21 ounce lasagna to add flavor.  I am a little bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I have errands to do in the morning, and I have to be here in the afternoon to wait for www.ups.com to arrive.  Have a good night.  My relative gave me two Ralph Lauren t-shirts I have on the bedroom closet shelf, and I also got a new blue knee length bathing suit, not that I can afford to make it much to the beach recently.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/23/07 Sunday 9:15 P.M..:  After the last message, I cleaned the garage rug with some green cleaner where the tree men had left foot tracks from wiping their feet.  I watched the www.foxnews.com special on David Petraeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .  My relative returned back at 9:30 P.M..  I helped my relative with some minor activities.  I went to bed at 11 P.M., and I ate two bowls of Cheese Its.  I woke up at 6 A.M. today.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with sliced banana, toasted English muffins with butter, orange juice with vitamins and supplements, and coffee with half and half and sugar.  I showered, and I cleaned up, and I finished backing.  I started packing the Audi.  I put Ridex in the toilet downstairs to clean out the septic system.  At 9 A.M., I left the house in Kennebunkport in the Audi with one of my relatives, and I drove to the Maine turnpike in Wells, Maine heading south on I-95 to the New Hampshire Turnpike to I-95, and we took a break at the Massachusetts welcome center.  We then got on I-495 West, and we stopped at the Lowell rest area, and then we got on I-290 west to the Massachusetts turnpike.  We stopped at the Clardon rest area, and I ate a ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich that I had brought with me.  We filled up the Audi fuel tank.  We then got on I-84 west, and we stopped at the Connecticut welcome center.  We took the Charter Oak Bridge east of Hartford to I-91 South, and to I-15 West the Wilbur Cross Parkway.  We stopped at the North Haven and the New Canaan rest areas on the Merritt Parkway.  We got off in Greenwich, Connecticut at Round Hill Road, and we drove by three of my families' former houses where the neighborhoods seem much improved. I showed my relative the new Greenwich Hospital and the new Presbyterian Church.  We stopped at the Greenwich Automotive Services Exxon station, and we filled up the Audi fuel tank, and I washed its windows.  We then stopped at Wendy's on West Putnam Avenue, and we met up with my other relatives coming from elsewhere.  I turned over the Audi to a relative, and they dropped me and my luggage off at my apartment building.  I brought up the luggage, and I turned on the air conditioner, the toilet, and the air purifier.  I went outside, and the Buick wagon started right up, and I ran it a few minutes. I let a baseball field spectator use the public bathroom.  I then unpacked.   My order from www.newyorkcoffee.com for eight pounds of coffee beans and the two coffee mugs were in the apartment.  I also brought down from Kennebunkport, Maine 2 more pounds of the same mixture, so I now have 10 pounds of coffee beans for the upcoming winter. I chatted with two friends.  I had to call up www.cablevision.com to get the television to work, and they had me reboot the cable box by unplugging it and plugging it in.  Once the apartment was cooled off, I started up the server, and the primary Vista computer.  I installed some updates.  I chatted with a relative, and they arrived further south with the Audi safely.  With Optimum Voice, it is easy to keep in touch with one's relatives where ever they may be.  I will now microwave and eat a Stouffer's 21 ounce frozen lasagna with a glass of iced tea.  Earlier I ate a bowl of goldfish crackers with some iced tea.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/22/07 Saturday 7:40 P.M..: The guests left, and my relative left for dinner. I barbequed two hamburgers medium rare, which I put on buns with mayonnaise and Jack Daniels Barbeque sauce and sliced onion, and I ate them with two ears of sweet corn and a can of Nestea Ice Tea. I cleaned up the kitchen. I will now shut down the IBM Netvista, and I will not be updating my web notes, until I return home to Greenwich, Connecticut tomorrow or the following day, when I have time to log on to the internet.

We plan to leave here tomorrow Sunday September 23, 2007 in the Audi at 9:00 A.M. to be down to Greenwich, Connecticut by 3:30 P.M. to meet up with other relatives whom will drive my relative further south in the Audi.

We filled up the Volkswagen Passet with fuel at the Blue Canoe Irvine gasoline station. We returned about 3:45 P.M.. I emptied the dishwasher. I put the back seat down in the Audi to have it ready to leave tomorrow after I pack it. I packed most of my gear together in the large green duffle bag. I still have to pack my toiletry items in the small Swiss Day pack. I will now take a nap for an hour. My relative is going out to dinner at 6:20 P.M. this evening, and I will stay up until the relative returns about 9 P.M.. I will go to bed shortly thereafter. CIO

Note: <888> 09/22/07 Saturday 1:25 P.M..: I ate two bowls of Cheese Its before going to bed last night. I woke up at 8 A.M. this morning. I ate breakfast of scrambled eggs, toasted English muffin, a 50% mixture of orange juice with 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements and a cup of coffee. I checked the attic above the garage, and one stickim mouse trap was on the trap door, but nothing was in it, and the other one had disappeared out of sight, so the creature must have dragged it away or got lose. The tree men yesterday cleaned the gutter on the north side of the house, and today I cleaned the front gutters and the gutter where I could reach it on the south side of the house and the rear gutters above the deck area. I also hosed the remaining asphalt roof debris out of the gutters, so they are free flowing. I swept off the rear deck, and I stacked the bricks that the plants sit on at the end of the deck by the door. I used the leaf blower, and I cleaned out the garage, the front walk, and the driveway. I watered the plants in front and in the rear. I showered, and I cleaned up. I did a load of laundry, and I just started the dry cycle.

I will now shut down the computer, and I will watch some television for a while. I will go to bed about 10 P.M., and as usual I probably might eat some Cheese Its before going to bed. CIO

Note: <888> 09/21/07 Friday 8:05 P.M..: The tree men reported their was some fox crap on the steps leading down to the back yard, so there is a fox in the area. I shoveled it off, and I threw it over to the side of the property. I heard something making a chewing sound in the attic space above the garage. I climbed up there with a latter, and I opened the trap door, and I put two stickem mouse traps on the wooden floor above the attic trap door. I then closed the trap door, and I put the latter off to the side in the garage. We watched the www.abcnews.com evening news. We ate dip and crackers. For dinner, we had broiled scallops wrapped in bacon, spinach soufflé, sweet corn on the cob with butter, and I also ate it all with a glass of cold filtered water flavored with some orange juice. I cleaned up the kitchen. When I was throwing out some garbage, it sounds like the stickem mouse trap caught something and it fell with the stickem mouse trap on the lid of the garage attic trap door which is recessed a few inches below the attic floor. It sounds too big to be a mouse, and I don't think the stickem mouse trap would hold a squirrel, so more than likely it is a chip monk, which we have lots of around here. I could open the garage attic trap door with a broom to see if anything falls out from above, but my relative said to wait until the morning. The pants were not able to be delivered by UPS in Greenwich today, so all of the ordered will be delivered this Monday after I return this coming Sunday September 23, 2007. CIO

Note: <888> 09/21/07 Friday 4:35 P.M..: We visited with some relative after the last message. We then went by the Kennebunkport post office. We then went by Meserves, and I got the York County Star and a box of Cheese Its for $4.59 two dollars more than the Stop and Shop. We then went by a friend of my relatives, and we dropped off one of the three hanging plants from in front of my relatives' house. We then went by the Kennebunk beach. We went by Port Lobster. We then returned to my relatives. I made and ate a ham, cheese, and turkey sandwich which I ate with potato chips and cold filtered water with a small bit of orange juice. I went back by Port Lobster to pick up some crab meat. I chatted with the tree men briefly. I then went with one of my relative's and we drove over to the Art Gallery across from the Wayfarer restaurant in Cape Purpose, and we picked up a picture my relative had framed. We then went by Sandborn's to get four ears of silver queen corn for .55 an ear for the sweet corn. We then returned to the family house, and we hung the new picture of the Goat Island Light House in Winter in the living room replacing the picture that was there done by Cosby who was Richard Nixon's director of communications out in Laguna Beach, California. It apparently was just a print, and it is stored in a tube in the basement. I think the frame is being sold for other purposes. The two tree men finished up at 3:30 P.M.. My relative paid them. They also sprayed a blue type of growth preventer on the stumps in the lower back yard to prevent future growth. It is a lot clearer looking in the lower back yard area. One of the limbs on the north side of the house could not come down because of a hornets nest in it. The hanging limb from last time was also taken down.

I will now shut down the computer, and I will read this month's National Geographic before going to bed. I will probably eat the last piece of blueberry pie before going to bed around 10 P.M.. The tree guys are here again tomorrow to some more maintenance work around the property. Also the house keeper is suppose to be here as is the lawn cutter, so it will be a busier day.

Note: <888> 09/20/07 Thursday 4:40 P.M..: We went out after the last message, and we went by the Kennebunkport post office. We then drove over to the Office Park by the entrance to the Maine Turnpike in Wells, Maine, where the www.ups.com sorting warehouse is located, and they have a Customer Service Office there opened from 2:30 P.M. to 6 P.M. Monday through Friday. We got there at 2 P.M., so while waiting I wrapped the foot stool in bubble wrap. Once they opened I bought a 25 inch by 25 inch by 25 inch box for $10 and .50 tax for $10.50. They had box tape there for closing the bottom side of the box. I then packed the foot stool and some sheet in the shipping box with a lot of old crumpled up New York Times that I had brought along.

Note: <888> 09/20/07 Thursday 1:10 P.M..: I ate two bowls of Cheese Its before going to bed. I was awake at 9 A.M.. I ate my usual breakfast. They New York Times did not arrive today. My relative went out to an appointment. I watered the plants in front and rear of the house. I used the leaf blower to clean out the garage, the front sidewalk, and the driveway. I checked the oil on the Audi. I cleaned the inside of the Audi including the inside windows. When my relative returned, I cleaned the inside of the Volkswagen Passat including the inside windows.

We then went by friends retirement home to drop off a plant. We then went by the Blue Canoe Irvine gasoline station, and we filled up the Audi fuel tank with premium self service unleaded gasoline at $2.949 a gallon for about 14 gallons and $42.01 total. With the trip up from Greenwich, Connecticut and local driving around Kennebunkport area, I had put on 345 miles on the Audi, and I got about 24.5 miles per gallon. One gets a dollar off the $7 basic car wash at the Blue Canoe car wash in Kennebunk with fill up, so we got the basic $6 discount car wash. I removed the rear antenna which unscrews and took it off from the Audi, and then after the car wash put it back on. Before we drive it down to Greenwich this Sunday, I still have to check the air in the tires, and I have to check the oil. We then drove over to the Biddeford shopping mall area. My relative has a foot stool that she wants to mail, but I thought it was over 28 inches high instead of the 20 inches that it is, so I did not buy the 24 inch by 24 inch by 24 inch box at www.homedepot.com for $3, but I bought some bubble wrap for $6. I then went by Staples and Wal-Mart, but they did not have a larger size box. I got a Igloo Ice Cooler box at Wal-Mart that is about 4 feet long, but my relative decided to get the right size box at www.ups.com in Wells, Maine tomorrow and pack it there, and mail it from there. I left the large Igloo ice cooler box folder up on the side of the garage wall. We watched the evening news and ate dip and crackers. I ate dinner of a stuffed boneless breast of chicken with two ears of sweet corn on the cob with butter, and the remaining angle hair spaghetti with tomato sauce and shrimp with chopped onions and mushrooms. I ate it all with a glass of orange juice flavored cold filtered water. CIO

Note: <888> 09/19/07 Wednesday 4:10 P.M..: I sat outside for a while. There is a group of large type fungus or mushrooms growing on the lawn on the southeast side of the house. I do not think they are those expensive mushrooms they eat in France, but they sort of look a bit like them. More than likely they are poisonous. I ate a piece of spice cake with a bit of orange juice flavored water. Actually in the north country traditionally people tend to drink apple juice, but by force of habit we still buy orange juice in this neck of the woods. There are still Florida license plates around Kennebunkport, Maine, so a lot of people are still enjoying the cooler sunny days around the resort area here. There seems to be a lot of retired senior citizens in the area, when I drive through town. Later on in the season, they call them leafers, for the people who travel into this area to watch the annual leaf foliage change its colors. Since it has been a dry summer this year, more than likely the leafs will drop quickly this upcoming fall season. I cleaned three more ears of sweet corn on the cob to have available for dinner this evening. I am waiting for my relative to return, so we can go out on an errand. CIO

Note: <888> 09/19/07 Wednesday 2:45 P.M..: After the last message, I put some water with Shultz plant food on the plants on the rear deck and the hanging plants and herbs at the front of the house. I moved some items from the family room for better winter storage. I took down the U.S.A. flag in front of the house from the flag pole that I repaired and painted this summer, and my relative is going to wash the flag. My relative went out to lunch. I ate a ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich with potato chips and a slice of dill pickle with orange juice flavored cold filtered water. I watered the plants in front and at the rear of the house. I brought the flowering plants off the rear deck of the house, and I lined them up along the front sidewalk, so they can be appreciated in the fall. I chatted with a relative. I also brought the rest of the porch furniture off the rear deck, and I put it in the garage with the other porch furniture. I saw on the television that www.paulallen.com 's new urban redevelopment in Seattle, Washington has a new trolley car system called something like the Seattle Lower Urban Transit, and they nicknamed it "S.L.U.T." for short, and everyone at the coffee shops are buying sweat shirts that say "S.L.U.T." .

I will now shut down the computer, and I will watch television and read the New York Times, and I will go to bed a little after 10 P.M.. I will probably eat a bowl of Cheese Its before going to bed.

There was a segment done by a friend of a relative about the ice cap melting in Greenland, and how if the ice cap melts in Greenland, the ocean would rise 24 feet, and most of South Florida, the Netherlands, and other minor areas like Manhattan would be under water, so I guess we better keep and eye on the ice cap in Greenland. Where I live in Byram, Connecticut might be on higher ground, since there is over a 50 foot high hill down to Port Chester, New York, so I guess I would be living on a peninsula or island if the ocean rose 24 feet. For dinner, we had sautéed baked breaded sea scallops, and I also had a half of a sliced tomato, and two ears of steamed corn on the cob, and a third of a piece of cantaloupe, along with a glass of cold filtered water flavored with orange juice. Earlier, I went through my email. Not much seems to be happening on the internet, so I guess the internet capitalists are resting on their laurels. I cleaned up the kitchen. I started the dish washer. I emptied the kitchen garbage, and I put the big garbage can out by the street to be picked up by the municipal garbage hauler tomorrow. We missed the Recycling day last week, so it is not due until next Tuesday, after I will have left here.

There use to be one like that on the pier on Steamboat Road in Greenwich, Connecticut, but it has disappeared a number of times over the years. We then returned back to my relative's house. I changed my clothes. I ate lunch of a turkey, ham, and cheese sandwich, a crab meat roll, a sliced of dill pickle, potato chips and a Nestea ice tea on ice. I fixed the RCA remote control in the kitchen for the Phillips Magnavox television in the kitchen, and I put new batteries in it. Its programming code is "062" . I wrote it on the inside of the battery case of the RCA remote control. My relative keeps the instructions for it in the living room in the small cabinet another relative made.

We went back out about 1:15 P.M., and we drove by the Earl Spencer reception, and it looked about a hundred people were there, but we did not go in, since we did not recognize anyone. My relative then went by the ACE hardware store, and we got a Jobes 15 spike package of tree spike fertilizer for the flowering plum tree in front for $7.99. My relative then went to manicurist and pedicurist across the street, and that took about an hour and a half. I filled up my relative's car fuel tank, and I had it washed at the Blue Canoe car wash.

He will be at Hurlbutt Designs from noon to 2 P.M. today, and their local number is 1-207-967-4110.

It is caught in the vines up in the air, so it did not come down to the ground, when it was cut off, so hopefully sometime it will fall to the ground. I watched the evening news with my relative. For dinner I had two 3 ounce crab cakes, spinach soufflé, and sautéed sliced yellow squash with diced onions, and I ate it all with a glass of cold filtered water flavored with a little bit of orange juice.

When I returned my relative and guest returned. We drove over to Chic's Lobster house, and my relative got crab meat. My relative's guest was looking for Cod balls or Cod cakes, which they no longer are able to get. I remember in the book that I read about a half dozen years ago, "Let the Sea Make a Noise", they said the New England cod fishing grounds were fished out, and they needed to have a moratorium on Cod fishing. We said good bye to my relative's guest whom departed, and I returned back to my relative's house with my relative. My relative brought back for me half of a toasted ham, bacon, and cheese sandwich which came with some French Fries and a sliced dill pickle, which I ate for a second lunch with a little bit of orange juice and mostly cold filtered water.

Their toll free number is 1-866-419-7475. They told me a hundred 20 mg. Lipitor pills are about $140. You do the math. Last time I was here, they called my relative up.

I ate my usual breakfast with a sliced half of a banana on the oatmeal. I put bone meal around the two peonies plants out front. I put Miracle Gro fertilizer around the two rose bushes out front. I used the leaf blower to clean out the garage floor and the driveway. I watered the hanging plants and herbs on the front porch underneath the overhang where they do not get rain. I swept off the rear deck. I turned off the water from below for the rear deck hose, because the second hose for watering in the back yard had broken and was leaking. I replaced it with a spare good hose from the front yard, but I left the rear faucet turned off, since I am here I can turn it on and off for watering. I cut off the broken piece of hose, and I removed its splice, and I put the splice on the garage shelf with the other spare hose parts. I put the replaceable hose threaded end back on the good section of hose which is now about 8 feet shorter, and I coiled it up, and I left it by the front of the house hose faucet where the other hose came from. I threw away the broken hose pieces in the garbage. I showered and I cleaned up. My relative has a guest coming over at noon, and they are going out to lunch. I will now empty the dishwasher. CIO

We then returned the DVD to the video store in Kennebunk. We then drove around the waterfront beach area in Kennebunk. We toured the neighborhood of Fairfield Drive and Admiral's Way. I stood out briefly, and I watched the four surfers on the Kennebunk beach. We then drove along the Kennebunkport waterfront, and there were still a few cars viewing Walker's Point. The resort area still gets tour buses this time of year. I think the Colony Hotel has a Jamaican connection, since their winter hotel in Delray Beach, Florida employs a lot of Jamaican help. I then had lunch of the remaining chicken salad on a bed of lettuce and some left over pasta salad with potato chips and a glass of cold water. I put away my clean laundry.

I started a load of laundry, and the dry cycle will be started soon. The Panasonic 2.4 GHz cordless telephone works just fine with the new battery. I am charging up the 2.5 million watt rechargeable lantern. I will put the lantern and its recharging transformer at the kitchen entrance with the other flash lights. Its battery would get cold outside in the garage in the winter. It takes 15 hours to charge up. I have the small Schumacher automobile jump start system charging. It says it is fully charged, but I will leave it on for a while. I will then put it in the tool cabinet at the kitchen entrance to the house, so its charged battery will not get cold out in the garage in the winter. We will not be driving down until Sunday September 23, 2007, when we will meet up with other relative's at my apartment to transfer my relative.

One of my relatives had given away the comforters for the bunk room downstairs, so I used the tiger print blanket from the other guest bedroom downstairs. I was awake at 8:30 A.M. this morning. I ate the same breakfast as yesterday. www.chainsawsteve.com showed up with two helpers. They are doing tree trimming work around the house. We decided to have them cut down the 40 foot tall 18 inch diameter at the base oak tree that was partially uprooted on the north side of the house, and it was partially rotten overhanging the north end of the house, so it is now cut down. I showered and I cleaned up. We need to get another rechargeable battery from www.radioshack.com in Biddeford, Maine for the Panasonic 2.4 GHz cordless telephone in the kitchen. My relative is staying home today to keep and eye on the tree work. CIO

Note: <888> 09/09/07 Sunday 1:30 P.M..: We ate the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce with sliced eggs. My relative seasoned it, so it tasted very good. We ate it with some potato chips. I made a mistake and when I cut the chicken into half inch chunks, somehow a 1.5 inch long small bone got in the chicken salad, and my relative caught it while eating it, and did not choke on it. I am usually very careful with chicken salad, but occasionally one does get bones in it if not careful. I normally use boneless breasts of chicken for chicken salad. CIO

Note: <888> 09/09/07 Sunday 12:40 P.M..: I chatted with my relative. I watered the hanging plants on the front porch that do not get the rain. There is plenty of rain still coming down. I tore off the rest of the meat off the cooked chicken, and I cut it into half inch chunks and put it in a bowl, and my relative is now making chicken salad out of it. I tested the new Black and Decker iron that I gave my relative, and it seems to work just fine. One has to follow the instructions. The higher settings are for steam and the lower settings are for non steam. One does not have to empty the water after using it. On fills it for steam to the maximum on the window. One stores it in an upright position after it cools. We will be eating the chicken salad for lunch shortly, and I guess we might have something else like potato chips with it, and I will drink a mixture of orange juice with cold filtered water. CIO

10:15 am Chelsea Pipe Bomb Remains a Mystery By Sewell Chan

Debris at the scene of the pipe bomb explosion. (Photo: Cary Conover for The

New York Times)Updated, 12:25 p.m. | The police bomb squad is investigating

the explosion of a pipe bomb at 1:10 a.m. outside a four-story building in

Chelsea that houses a nonprofit theater studio founded by Michael Imperioli,

an actor from “The Sopranos,” officials said today. No one was injured.

Minor damage was reported to a parked minivan in front of the building, at

257 West 29th Street.

The ground floor of the building is occupied by Studio Dante, a theater

space run by Mr. Imperioli and his wife, Victoria.

Several city officials have confirmed that the explosion was caused by a

pipe bomb, but at a morning news conference, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said

it was more accurate to describe the bomb as “a small explosive device.”

(City Hall officials later said that the mayor had misspoken and that the

explosive was, indeed, a pipe bomb.)

The mayor said:

Well, No. 1, it wasn’t a pipe bomb. It turned out to be some kind of a small

explosive device. For those of you that don’t know, at one o’clock this

morning or thereabouts, in front of 257 West 29th Street in Manhattan, which

is a building that houses a small theater space called Studio Dante as well

as several apartments. There was an explosion on the street. It blew out

windows of a van parked in front of the building and thankfully no one was

injured. What we did to the three floors of residential apartments above the

theater, we temporarily evacuated them as the N.Y.P.D. Bomb Squad made

certain there was no secondary device. And it turned out there was none.

Traffic was reopened in time for rush hour on all streets except for 29th

between Eighth and Seventh Avenues, which remain closed as the police

investigate. And while there certainly is no evidence that this was

terrorism, we are taking this and every act of violence extremely seriously

and we’ll take every step to identify and apprehend whoever set this

explosive device up and anyone who may have seen somebody — something —

should call 311 or N.Y.P.D.’s Crime Stoppers tip line at 1 (800) 577-TIPS.

The N.Y.P.D. will update you later in the day but that’s the essence of what

happened.

The police said that what detonated was a pipe bomb, 4 inches by 2 inches,

made of galvanized steel and capped on both ends. The bomb was detonated by

lighting an attached fuse.

Bomb technicians from the Police Department were poring over the scene

trying to determine what kind of explosive powder or substance may have made

up the insides of the bomb, as well as how it was detonated, whether it was

done manually or included some kind of remote triggering device.

A pipe bomb is a potentially lethal device that spews metal shrapnel when it

explodes, similar to a hand-grenade. Pipe bombs are typically made up of a

steel pipe packed tightly with explosive powder — usually black powder — and

capped on either end and attached to some kind of fuse. Typically, a pipe

bomb is lit manually. They are sometimes known as improvised explosive

devices, or I.E.D.’s.

The bomb was placed on the curb in front of the building, the police said.

When it exploded, it blew out toward the street, and damaged a van parked in

front of the location. A piece of the pipe was discovered lying in the front

seat of that van, and investigators believe it hurtled through a side window

of the vehicle, the police said.

The manager for Studio Dante said the Imperiolis were not around when the

explosion occurred. There are apartments on the three floors above the

theater-studio, but the building was undamaged and the authorities said none

of the residents had to spend the night in shelters.

The manager, Toni Marie Davis, said that Studio Dante has been in the

building since November 2003 and that the studio’s last production was “From

Riverdale to Riverhead,” a play by Anastasia Traina that closed in June.

A number of celebrities have supported Studio Dante. In March 2006, for

example, Mr. Imperioli’s co-star Edie Falco from “The Sopranos” on HBO and

Jesse L. Martin of NBC’s “Law & Order” took part in a reading at the Dahesh

Museum to benefit the theater studio. In March of this year, the actors

Steve Buscemi, Julianna Margulies, Piper Perabo, Aidan Quinn and Sam

Rockwell participated in another reading and fund-raiser, according to

Studio Dante’s Web site.

The studio’s next production is scheduled to open for previews on Oct. 17,

and currently, only one employee, the manager, is at the site on a

day-to-day basis.

Note: <888> 09/03/07 Monday 1:20 P.M..:   The new water saving shower head works just fine, and I probably don't use more than two or three gallons of water when I take my two minute showers if that.   I went out after the last message.  I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat and some of the regular fishermen are there.   I went downtown, and I chatted with a weekend regular who might know Jimmy Eldert.  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 Wild Doubler scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I chatted with three people outside the Harrington Hams of Vermont former shop on Railroad Avenue where the new republican headquarters are located for first selectman.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks.  I stopped by CVS.  They sell drumstick ice cream cones there from Nestle for $2 if you need an ice cream cone on Greenwich Avenue.  Alas we have no more ice cream shops on Greenwich Avenue.  In its Hay Day, we once had four ice cream shops.  There is a Baskin Robins at the Dunkin Donuts in Cos Cob, and there is also an ice cream shop where the ELDC thrift shop use to be next to the Mobil gasoline station at the Indian Field road and East Putnam Avenue.  I also chatted with the baker from St. Moritz bakery about life in Greenwich.   He looks a bit like a Rockefeller, so maybe he is from an upstate New York Dutch family.  Of course the Upstate New York Dutch family look is fairly common in this area, once one goes a bit further north.  Somebody was driving around in a 1940 Buick Sedan.  I then used the ATM machine at the Chase Bank on Mason Street.  I then went by the Stop and Shop.  At the third of the month, I get my food stamps, so I put in a few extra items.  I bought a loaf of Stop and Shop 12 grain bread for $2.29, a 59 ounce container of Simply Orange orange juice with calcium for $3, a pound of Stop and Shop white American cheese for $5.87, 1.5 pounds of German Wondrbar Bologna for $2.49 a pound for $3.98, a 33.5 ounce box of Pepperidge Farm gold fish crackers for $7.99, a 12.5 ounce bag of Lays Sour Cream and Onion potato chips for $2.50, a 12.5 ounce bag of Lays salt and vinegar potato chips for $2.50, two 64 ounce containers of Kedem grape juice for $2.50 each, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, broccoli crowns at $1.49 a pound for $1.62 for $37.74 total.  I then returned home, and I put away my groceries.   I made and ate my usual sautéed hamburger with sautéed sliced red onion and cheese, which I ate with seasoned rice, two ears of fresh corn on the cob with low fat butter, and steamed baby carrots with olive oil, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  I chatted with two relatives.  My relative will be arriving here with the Audi about 7:30 P.M..  I ate a bowl of goldfish crackers.   CIO

Note: <888> 09/03/07 Monday 4:45 A.M..:  I went to bed after the last message.  I had a telephone call from a relative shortly there after.  I woke up at 3 A.M..  On the primary Vista setup, I changed the Logitech wireless optical mouse from the PS2 mouse port to the USB 2.0 hub.  I am having a problem with the Logitech driver for the LX500 wireless keyboard and mouse, since sometimes when I boot the Vista computer, the keyboard and mouse settings do not load, although they work, the options do not work.  I tried reinstalling the Logitech driver for the wireless keyboard and mouse from a safe boot.  I will know the next time I boot how well, it is all working.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana, a toasted English muffins with olive oil, a mixture of orange, grape with certo, and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I will now do some regular computer work.  My relative will return down from Kennebunkport, Maine today between 5 P.M. and 7 P.M. with the Audi, and I will drop them off at the train station, and I will keep the Audi here until I drive it back up to Kennebunkport, Maine around September 14, 2007.  Around September 21, 2007, I will drive it back down from Kennebunkport, Maine with my relative, and I will meet two of my relatives here, and they will drive my other relative and the Audi further south.  CIO  

Note: <888> 09/02/07 Sunday 7:05 P.M..:  I noticed a program that starts up with Vista "C:\Windows\System32\mscdexnt.exe" .  A google search said that it might be a trojan, so I tried to eliminate it, but the System would not let me.  In XP it might be a Trojan, but in Vista, it supposedly enables one to use the CD player in DOS.   I did a Vista Complete PC backup from the first hard drive to the second hard drive.  I ordered from CoffeeForLess.com sells premium coffee such as Starbucks coffee, coffee beans, Kona coffee, tea, Jamaica Blue Mountain and more two four pound bag packages with a thermal mug with each four bag package for $16.95 for the four pounds and thermal mug less 5% coupon "CFL" and $5.95 UPS ground shipping for $38.16 total.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/02/07 Sunday 8:25 A.M..:  I made and ate my burger with sautéed onions and cheese dinner, which I ate it with steamed flavor rice and steamed broccoli crowns and baby carrots with a glass of iced tea.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go out for some daytime activity.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/02/07 Sunday 6:40 A.M..:  I tried installing PowerDVD 5, but it is an older version that will not work with Vista, so I uninstalled it.  I will try installing it on the FIC server with XP Professional at a later time.  I printed out the last four months of my notes pages 5789 through 6031 or 242 pages.  I bound them in two Staples Clamp binders that I placed at the near end of the down sofa.  They are available for download at:

Note: <888> 09/02/07 Sunday 3:00 A.M..:  I had a telephone call from a relative at 5:30 P.M. after going to bed after the last message.  I woke up at 11:30 P.M..   I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, a mixture of orange, grape with certo, and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.   I did two loads of laundry and a third load where I washed the white throw on the Ethan Allen recliner in the living room.  I have 15 minutes to go on the dry cycle.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I put clean linens on the bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  CIO  

Note: <888> 09/01/07 Saturday 3:25 P.M..:  I will now shut down the Vista computer, and I will to bed.  I was invited to beta test Vista SP1 beta today, but I still have not received the download link.  I do not know whether I would want to install it on my primary Vista computer or not anyway, but if it was buggy, I could always restore my good installation backup, but I would have to update any changes.  That is if I overwrote my current status backup.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/01/07 Saturday 11:50 A.M..:  I chatted with my relative in Kennebunkport, Maine, and my older relative is entertaining older friends and making brownies, and my younger relatives are going out on a boat and having a picnic.  A thrift shop volunteer in Lantana, Florida was lucky Homeless Credited With Saving Woman, 93, From Burning Car - News Story - WPBF West Palm Beach .  Lanatana, Florida use to have a lot of retired people from Finland, and Kennebunk, Maine has a monastery with a Finish and Russian priests where they have lodging for guests.  I will now go through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/01/07 Saturday 10:45 A.M..:  I woke up at 5:30 A.M. this morning.  I watched a bit of television.  I bottom fished on the internet.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, a mixture of orange, grape with certo, and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda.  I rested a bit.  I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.   I went outside, and I threw out the banana peel and the peanuts jar.  I emptied the two outside ashtrays.  I picked up yesterday's mail.  I mailed the Microsoft Money 2006 August 2007 report to my interested relative.  I took out the Courvoisier box from my right bedroom closet shelf that contains the Norwegian blue canvas back pack that I sewed up on the beach on the south shore of Nantucket while there during the summer of 1977, when I had a bit of free time.  I took off its leather bottom, when it became mildewed some time ago, and it is not with the back pack, and I do not know if I still have it.  The leather awe was not with it, but there was a sail hand sailing palm press and Heminway thread company blue nylon thread that Hood Sail in Nantucket use to sell along with one remaining sail mending needle.  I sewed up a half dozen stitches on my left black moccasin on the right side, doing about a dozen loops a stitch to resecure the stitching on the moccasin.  I also secured its waxed thread end that was part of the original stitching, so now the black moccasins are ready for many more years of use around the building and outside the building when I make short walks outside the building.  I have a new pair of black Ole Cassini house slippers, but I do not wear them very much.  Quite frankly I think I have more shoes than Imelda Marcos, so I am really not short in the shoe department.  I will now go through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/01/07 Saturday 1:20 A.M..:  I watched the Princess Diana memorial on the Fox television network.  It was nice to see them all together again.   I will now go through my email.  CIO
