10/31/15 Saturday 9:35 P.M. I woke up at 7 P.M., and I chatted with a relative. I ate two small bowls of goldfish crackers. I then went back to bed until 9 P.M.. I ate a bowl of two scoops of butterscotch ice cream. I threw out the garbage. I picked up the mail. The order for http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-LED-Long-Shot-Headlamp/111752697863?hash=item1a04fad807 for $5.99 with free shipping arrived.

10/31/15 Saturday 12:25 A.M. I tweaked the Asus Eee PC a bit, and it works just fine. When one lives in the cold country and is thinking about using some of the new portable electronic devices out in the cold weather, one should look into how long their battery life is in various extreme cold conditions. I just noticed, when I was out in California, they were real cheap. I think the California people are still real cheap, and the only bargains recently are avocados, and they are not giving away any technology. I was told by the Marmot store staff today, that their first store was in Santa Cruz, California. I have about a six year old red large size Marmot jacket that I bought for a $100 down from $400 from www.sierratradingpost.com , which does not fit me. Alas, it is sort of hard to sell old outgrown clothes in Greenwich, although I am sure somebody might want it. Of Neighbor to Neighbor over the last few years has gotten a lot of my smaller clothes. What bothers me about getting rid of smaller clothes, when I am age 65 is that I see a lot of older men whom managed to get thinner, and if I ever get thinner I am going to have to go through the expense of changing my wardrobe again. CIO
10/30/15 Friday 10:50 P.M. I adjusted the left living room closet door, so it is raised higher and swings more freely. I also removed the small throw rug from in front of it, and I put it in front of the chair in the kitchen. Thus the left living room closet door opens and closes easier. I have a lot of my winter and formal clothes in it. I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm , and there is nothing cheap worth buying on the internet. However, sometimes an unexpected bargain pops up. Now that it is colder out, we have be prepared to implement the Freezing Norwegian Patrol, once the temperatures drop down into the 20 degrees Fahrenheit range or lower. That usually does not happen until the first week of December. I don't go out in the extreme cold too much anymore, since it exhausts me. However, I have a lot of experience in it, and I have the clothes and shoes to stay warm in it. Alas by Canadian standards, it does not get that cold here. Of course night time can be more than 20 degrees Fahrenheit or more colder than the daytime. I tried calling the Allstate Claim number today, and the other person that hit my Volvo wagon has not opened a claim yet, and they told me to open a claim when I am ready. Since the bumper is fine, I need to get an estimate to replace the passenger side rear lower tail light with the clear lens which costs about $170 and to install it. I might be able to have the estimate made and done over the telephone and mailed, so I do not have to drive all the way over there. Being on a night schedule, I have different routines than daytime people who are probably going to bed by now. Tomorrow night is Halloween night which probably means it will not be safe for older adults to venture outside. The young people are probably using all of this new media to organize their social lifestyles, so even though it does not seem like anything is going on, more than likely somewhere else in the area, there is something going on. One could investigate to see if there is any snow in the north country and if the ski resorts are open for business, but I think it is too early yet. With the local elections being held this Tuesday, some of the local politicians will probably be trying to get one's votes. I always vote for the Republican Party, since my roots are in the Western Michigan republican party and the down state Illinois republican party. Thus although I am a minority here, I have plenty of like minded individuals out there in the rest of the country and barely surviving off the democratic party policies. What we need is the Days of Eisenhower again, when the country was more prosperous. There is nothing that I need computer wise as far as I know. I could put a third SATA hard drive in the HP Compaq computer, but there is no rush on that at this moment. One has to conserve one's funds for any emergencies that might occur during the winter weather. I suppose I should also charge up my auto three jump start systems to have available for colder weather. I need two lantern batteries, but they are heavy to order and expensive at the Greenwich Hardware store. I never use them, when they are fresh, and they usually end up going bad without ever being used. One can not go out to nearby Westchester County airport easily anymore, because the parking there to watch airplanes landing and taking off is a bit expensive. None of my southern network of friends ever communicates outside of family connections, so I guess they are no longer interested in the north country now that summer is pretty much over. The way I figure it, a lot of people are still learning how to use computers and the internet, which I pretty much have learned over these years. Also a lot of people do not know how to type. There is commercial on TV for the IBM Watson device, but I don't think one can order one yet. Once it gets colder, people become more focused on the reality of the outdoor situations which can occur like a 100 inches of snow in Boston last winter. If one does mind getting a sun tan, one could try to apply to the Key West Oceanographic Institute which I think still exists. CIO

10/30/15 Friday 8:55 P.M. I woke up at 8:30 P.M.. The Duke of Windsor made www.perrier.com famous, because he always took it with him in his worldwide travels, and he would drink it probably neat with Bells Whisky. In the old days of travel, and even today, there is dirty water. The Duke of Windsor paid a royal visit to Greenwich, Connecticut in the 1920s, and he dedicated a statue at the now vacant Electrolux factory in Old Greenwich. He was friends with the Swedish businessman that owned Electrolux. Alas, nobody in town seems to know whether that statue still exists or not. I have a theory that between World War I and World War II this area was invaded by German Fifth Columnists masquerading as "Old Guard" Americans, and when they lost World War II, they just continued on the same masquerade. CIO
10/30/15 Friday 6:30 P.M. I took a fourth of a head of Cello iceberg lettuce, and I ripped it up into small pieces on a dinner plate with a hand full of baby spinach leaves and one sliced tomato and one fourth Bermuda red onion diced and a peeled and sliced ripe avocado. I seasoned it with garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian spices, celery salt, Montreal Spicy Steak Seasoning, a quarter cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese, 2 ounces of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese cut into 1.5 inch by 3/8th inch by .25 inch pieces, a couple of dozen Caesar croutons, and I put a lot of Wish Bone blue cheese dressing on it with extra virgin olive oil on it. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now take a nap. CIO
10/30/15 Friday 5:40 P.M. I threw out the garbage. The dent on the passenger side rear bumper has disappeared. All I can figure it out is that Volvo must make their bumpers out of some sort of memory plastic compound. I went to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. I then went downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won another free Ace's scratch card that I lost on. I stopped by www.cvs.com ,and I used the bathroom there. I bought three one liter bottles of www.perrier.com for $4 and .15 bottle deposit and .25 CT. 6.35% tax for $4.40 total. They are the new plastic bottles which hopefully will not freeze and break in the refrigerator. I put them underneath the www.harvard.edu chair when I got home. I finished my walk, and I sat out for a while. I then returned home. I picked up the mail.

I got my rent statement from the Greenwich Housing Authority. In the rent statement was a letter saying that the Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place closed at 2 P.M. today, and starting Monday we will be paying the rent at the new Wells Fargo Bank at the Stop and Shop shopping plaza. I then went back out to the Chase Bank at Deerfield Place, and I then returned home. CIO

10/28/15 Wednesday 2:55 A.M. I watched episode 42 of "The Reign" and episodes 5 and 6 of "The Royal Bodyguard". I learned when I went down to explore Florida in the fall of 1976, that there are a few British in Florida, because the Cunard Line sailed to Fort Lauderdale, and they also delivered Rolls Royce automobiles to Palm Beach. Also there were bits and pieces of the Duke of Windsor's entourage from the Bahamas lingering around south Florida. The British have their own version of Outward Bound for young people, where the camp out anywhere they feel like, and even the grandson of the founder of the British boy scouts showed up in Key West. The Royal Navy also keeps a presence in the Caribbean because of so many Commonwealth Countries the British are affiliated with. The only problem was that I am not British, but I sort of looked British, so they just assumed that I was British I guess. In the Bahamas in February 1978, I saw a lot of the real British, and they were a lot paler and fairer than I am. Whether any of the real British in the Bahamas ever make it to south Florida is opened to debate. Still, there was not the very large entourage of British dependents in South Florida like one fines in Manhattan and the New York City area. Alas, I am left watching old British media on Netflix while the real British are off somewhere else in the world where I guess they have some sort of influence. If one keeps a cheap apartment at Fred's old location at 420 East 49th street in Manhattan which is two blocks east of the British consulate on Third Avenue and if one can afford to buy liquor at the liquor store on the north side of the British consulate, more than likely one might find one or two people willing to drop over for cocktails if people still do that anymore. I think in Bermuda they call it "High Tea". Well, I guess with all of the sober New England Puritans in Greenwich, Connecticut; there are no social gatherings anymore. When people are not saying their prayers, they are reading many of the books we have available that some other people managed to write in their spare time. Of course some people out here in the country are into gardening, but when it gets colder, they have to find other activities to keep themselves occupied. Thus the older generation is left to dine on tea and toast and to live as best they can with their many fond memories of their more active youth. Seniors, I think can get off peak round trip tickets into Manhattan on the commuter train for around $10.50, but a simple drink in Manhattan probably costs about $10 or more. I guess everyone is waiting for the rich younger generation to make their next move, and hopefully some of the remains of the day will fall our way out here in the country. Still, I have a very nice quiet peaceful and relaxing life out in the country. I maintain my simple routines based on my budget. I doubt if I will be winning the lottery and retiring anytime soon to Monte Carlo, so this is it at Byram, Greenwich, Connecticut, 06830-2902, United States of America, Western Hemisphere, Planet Earth. Near the British consulate on Third Avenue, there is the coffee shop mall area at the lower level of the Citicorp building. I think a few blocks north of the British consulate on Third Avenue across the street is a 24 hour McDonalds, where one might be able to hang out for free, and they might have free wifi. I do not know Manhattan very well anymore, so if one ends up in the little vest pocket park at the end of East 57th Street at Sutton Place looking at the Medici Boar overlooking the East River, one might figure out that somebody Italian might have a lire or two.

10/27/15 Tuesday 4:30 P.M. A neighbor knocked on my door at 10 A.M.. The neighbor had backed into my Volvo wagon. The passenger side rear bumper was pushed in about a inch diameter oval on its corner. The passenger side lower clear rear light was broken on the clear area. We filed a police report with a local police officer. The neighbor has All State insurance. I chatted with my GEICO insurance. The neighbor's All State insurance is supposed to take care of it. I chatted with a relative. I went back to bed. I woke up at 1 P.M., and I checked out the Volvo wagon and chatted with neighbors. I went back to bed until 3 P.M.. I decided to do a temporary repair on the Volvo rear light lens. I first had to go to CVS on West Putnam Avenue, and return a new dried up package of CVS Crazy Glue gel, and I got a package of Loctite super glue gel for 63 cents more. I then returned back to my apartment parking lot. I cut a heavy clear piece of clear flexible plastic off a CVS Clamp binder front cover about 6 inches by 2 inches. I then used a tube of the super glue gel to secure the clear plastic strip over the broken clear lens, and I held it in place with a strip of clear packaging tape, which I will remove once it dries. Thus I have a temporary repair to keep out any moisture, when it rains sometime soon. I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. CIO
10/27/15 Tuesday 5:50 A.M. I woke up at 3 A.M.. I watched episode 41 of "The Reign" and episodes 3 and 4 of "The Royal Bodyguard". I watched them on the bedroom TV setup. The control panel turns on the overall setup. The HDMI switch has to be on 1 to connect the Roku device. Also the Roku device goes onlone when the rear net switch on the power strip is turned on turning on the Netgear switch. I think it is more comfortable watching television in bed. I will now shut down the primary work computers. I will eat a blueberry muffin, and then I will go to bed. Have a good day. CIO
10/27/15 Tuesday 1:05 A.M. I watched episode 40 of "The Reign" and episode 2 of "The Royal Bodyguard". Well despite the fact that nearby Manhattan generates a lot of public relations, there is not much revenue from it out here in the remote suburbs of Connecticut. Since Connecticut is one of the smallest states geographically in the nation, not many people in the country are aware of it or pay much attention to it. Still we have a lot of privacy out here in the country, except for when we are bothered by the telemarketing telephone calls. In the olds day before gasoline was so expensive, one could go for a drive on the deserted roads in our area at night. Well, I will now nap for a while. CIO

Thus I now have Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu dual boot on it. I ate a Boston Market 16 ounce chicken pot pie with a 12 ounce glass of ginger ale. The Boston Market chicken pot pie has a lot of good flaky crust, but not very much chicken pot pie filling. I guess chickens are expensive in Boston. I also ate a small bowl of goldfish crackers. CIO
10/26/15 Monday 10:20 P.M. Ubuntu installed on the FIC server, but it does not boot up, and it still just boots up Vista Ultimate, so I will leave it the same. http://pcworld.com has a review on the new Microsoft Flagship store in Manhattan. CIO

10/26/15 Monday 4:05 A.M. Technically since I live in Connecticut very close to the New York border, I might be one of the first web sites of origin in New England for what it is worth. There is not much to write about in this area, since a lot of the homes are somewhat opulent, which keeps a lot of other people busy maintaining and building them. On the public housing front, there is not much interest, since the local economy is dependant of the McMansion home front. Still having grown up in back country in this area, I know it is not that exciting, and one spends a lot of time home bound doing domestic chores. Also in the remote back country area, people frequently do not go downtown too often for supplies, so they are rather isolated in their forest environments. When one drive in back country at night, it can be rather dark and forbidding, particularly since it is expensive to leave outside lights on at night. However, I have a feeling there are still a few people in that neck of the woods, whom the village idiots don't seem to think exist. Whatever they do on the internet is probably open to debate, but they obviously can afford to shop on the internet, if they are computer literate. More than likely the younger generation have some sort of computer skills. I will now shut down the primary work computers, and I will go to bed directly. CIO

From my observations recently this area is a lot slower than it has been in the past. However, that is just from the small downtown area perspective. I am sure there are still a lot of people in the larger over all area whom are not interested in shopping and dining on our simple village boulevard, but prefer the excitement of the "Big Apple". Thus I think it is relative safe to assume that somewhere in the greater New York City area, there might be one or two people left behind as a skeleton crew to pick up any lose pieces left behind.

One would think the government would look into the real prices of food for the COLA on government income. For a Friday night, there were not many people dining out. There were also not many exercise walkers. I guess people are just staying home. One might as well get use to the cooler weather, because it is not going away for quite a while. CIO
10/23/15 Friday 10:55 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown. I chatted with a regular at Starbucks. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. When I was crossing in front of the train station, a car coming from the west did not stop for me in the cross walk.

I woke up at 1 A.M.. The Dell Latitude E6400 laptop with Windows 10 got messed up while in Kennebunkport, Maine this past September. I am restoring the original installation from August 8, 2015; so hopefully it will run better. Basically Internet Explorer 11 would not work very well on it. It might have been the slow internet connection up there, but it is easy enough to restore the backup. Not much happening out here in the tundra of Greenwich, Connecticut. I remember, when I first moved here in June of 1962, we would have six inches of ice on the ponds by mid October, so we are enjoying a warm weather cycle in the last couple of years. I do not know if there was any volcanic activity in the early 1960s that would have made it cooler here. Of course, back in 1954, we had six inches of snow in Pensacola, Florida, and would also have snow in Decatur, Alabama. The weather in this country is really not tropical. When I tried to escape to Florida for the winter in 1976, it was in the 90s in the third week of September in Fort Lauderdale for the first couple of days, and then the temperature dropped down to the 40s. By Thanksgiving morning at 7 A.M. in 1976, it was 21 degrees Fahrenheit according to the bank sign next to the swimming hall of fame, so after New Years 1977, it was a little bit warmer in Key West compared to freezing south Florida. Of course I am comfortable staying inside for long periods of time during our cold winters up north. CIO

End of Scott's Notes week of 10/17/15
10/17/15 Saturday 8:05 P.M. I watched episode 34 of "The Reign". I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. CIO
10/17/15 Saturday 8:05 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I took a Pyrex pie dish, and I rubbed some extra virgin olive oil on its surface. I put the 10 ounce filet of farm raised salmon on it, and I pour about a quarter of a cup of lemon juice over it, and I seasoned the top of the filet with a generous amount of Italian seasoning. I baked it in the Farberware convection oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. I ate it with a large microwaved potato with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and steamed baby carrots with extra virgin olive oil and Smart Balance Spread and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale, and a cup of Twinnings green tea with Splenda sweetener and lemon juice. C'est bien. This is where I washed dishes and did food prep food prep work, before I returned back to Greenwich in December 1983 http://languedocbistro.com/nantucket-french-cuisine.html , so I know a little bit about cooking. CIO
10/17/15 Saturday 7:05 P.M. I paid off the final three payments of my www.geico.com automobile insurance policy, so it is paid off and runs until April 8, 2016. Paying bills ahead is like saving money. Now Warren Buffett can take the money and spend the winter in Florida. CIO
10/17/15 Saturday 6:25 P.M. I picked up the mail. The order with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400109699939333509010 on the order for http://www.ebay.com/itm/Westinghouse-RMT-11-Replaced-Remote-for-LD-3235-LD-3265VX-LD-4258VX-LD-3265-TV-/261555643931?hash=item3ce5ee661b for $8.06 with free shipping arrived. I put two new AA alkaline batteries in it, and I put it by the Westinghouse 32 inch LCD television. It works just fine. It has special buttons for the Westinghouse TV. I also got my renter's rebate check. Once the check clears, I will use it to pay off my GEICO automobile insurance policy. I threw out the garbage. I went by the Chase Bank at Deerfield Place. I mail the letter to relative at the central Greenwich Post Office. I went further downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. It was quite busy out. One now needs to wear a warmer jacket in the cooler weather. I used the bathroom at CVS. After my walk, I went by the A&P Fresh. They close tonight at 8 P.M.. They have a little bit of meat left for 30% off. I bought a loaf of Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread for $4.29, a filter of salmon for $6.99 a pound and 30% off for $3.13, and 8 ounce of Miracle Gro foam house plant food for $3 and .19 tax for $10.61 total. The new Acme store will be opening there on this Wednesday. I returned home, and I chatted with a relative. I put some of the Miracle Gro foam on my plants, and I watered them. CIO
10/17/15 Saturday 2:05 P.M. I ate a ham and cheese sandwich on 15 grain bread with Hellmann's mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and Wise wavy potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I will now make my bed. I will then shower and clean up. I guess I will then go downtown to people watch on Greenwich Avenue. CIO
10/17/15 Saturday 1:10 P.M. I went back to sleep after the last note. I woke up, and I ate two small bowls of goldfish crackers. I finally woke up at 12:45 P.M.. CIO
10/17/15 Saturday 7:20 A.M. I woke up at 6 A.M.. I chatted with a friend. For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with extra virgin olive oil, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. CIO
10/16/15 Friday 8:10 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I chatted with someone wearing a tee shirt from this location today, one can look at their menu to see what prices are like in the middle of the country http://www.chuckwagononmackinac.com/ , so it is not any cheaper out there in the middle of the country. I will now shut down the primary work computers. I will then go to bed. There is not a lot happening in this area, because nearby New York City seems to get all of the attention. Still the quiet life in the country has its enjoyments too. They were selling gallon jugs of fresh apple cider in the Stop and Shop at the entrance today. Au Revoir and Bon Soir. CIO
10/16/15 Friday 6:10 P.M. For the HP Compaq Computer, I ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124152 for $14.95 with free shipping for $14.95 total.

10/16/15 Friday 5:00 P.M. I picked up the mail. I gave a neighbor an associate's telephone number. I chatted with neighbors. I received a letter back that I have to spend 49 cents on a forever stamp to resend. I chatted with a relative. CIO
10/16/15 Friday 3:50 P.M. I took a fourth of a head of Cello iceberg lettuce, and I ripped it up into small pieces on a dinner plate with one sliced tomato and one fourth Bermuda red onion diced and a 4 ounce tin of Bumble Bee crab meat and a peeled and sliced ripe avocado. I seasoned it with garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian spices, Montreal Spicy Steak Seasoning, a quarter cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese, 2 ounces of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese cut into 1.5 inch by 3/8th inch by .25 inch pieces, a couple of dozen Caesar croutons, and I put a lot of Wish Bone blue cheese dressing on it with extra virgin olive oil on it. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. The only problem is that, since I quit smoking cigarettes three months ago, I have put on 20 pounds of weight, so I now weigh 244 pounds. The best way I know to lose weight is to go down to south Florida without money and benefits and after a long cold winter outside camping out with the other snow birds, one loses a lot of weight. In the fall of 1976 to the spring of 1977, I lost 60 pounds of weight camping out in south Florida. I went from 185 pounds to 125 pounds. When one does not have a lot of weight, it is easier to walk around. However, one also gets darkly tanned which if one is fair skinned is not good for you. Once one gets darkly tanned, the people up north think one is Hispanic, which is awkward, if one does not speak Spanish. CIO
10/16/15 Friday 3:00 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I drove my neighbor downtown, and I dropped my neighbor off at the top of Greenwich Avenue. I then went further downtown.

I told the Apple store there used to be an Apple store in New Canaan 25 years ago across the street from the Cherry Tree restaurant. I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center. I toured the Greenwich Hardware store. I used the bathroom at CVS. I bought three 4 ounce cans of Bumble Bee crab meat for $2 each for $6 total. I sat out after my walk. I went by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won another free Ace's High scratch card which I lost on. It was not too busy out for a nice Friday afternoon. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought buy one get one free of six packs of Thomas' English muffins for $4.39 both, a chunk of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese for $6.99 a pound for $8.74, a 30 ounce Pepperidge Farm Flavor Blasters cheddar cheese goldfish crackers for $8.99, three Mrs. Cabbison's 5 ounce Caesar croutons for $1 each, a head of Cello iceberg lettuce for $1.49, a Bermuda red onion for $1.99 a pound for $1.03, three Hass avocados for $1 each, a four pack of tomatoes for $2.49 for $33.13 total.

I used a coaxial two splitter and ran two cables off the coaxial table by the bedroom desk, so both the Sceptre 19 inch TV and the Abit computer TV card are now both connected to the apartment television system. I chatted with a neighbor. I am going to give a neighbor a ride downtown at 11:30 A.M.. I will now shower and clean up. CIO

It is not that important, since the computer which I don't use very much anymore runs well enough. It is more of a point of perfection that does not really matter. I ate two small bowls of goldfish crackers and two scoops of butterscotch ice cream. I will now have a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I will then make my bed and shower and clean up. I probably will not be going downtown today, since it is sometimes enjoyable to have a quiet day at home. CIO

It works quite well, and one gets use to the small black vertical strip on the right center of the TV. The sound is not as good, since the Westinghouse TV does not have an audio out jack on it to hook up additional speakers, but it is good enough. The kitchen TV still has the Sony media player which can play Netflix. I will now shut down the primary work computers. I will eat a blueberry muffin, and then I will go to bed. CIO

I then drove over to southwest picnic area at Tod's Point. I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I chatted with a local person from Illinois. I used the new public bathroom there. I then went over to Staples in Old Greenwich. Unfortunately, they did not have the item in stock, and while I was out, I was emailed to that effect. Thus the order is cancelled. I could order the last one from Staples in Port Chester or have it deliver, but they showed me the demo one at Staples in Old Greenwich, and it looked to be a bit too delicate for my use; so I will not be buying one.

10/10/15 Saturday 9:25 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown. I chatted with a friend on my wireless telephone. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. They are building two new large restaurant bars on either side of lower Greenwich Avenue. I sat out at various locations.

I tested it, and the Westinghouse TV works, but it has a small vertical line on the screen. I set it up on the oak table in front of the stereo system, where the 19 inch Scepter TV was. I have it hooked up with the coaxial cable to the cable box in the bedroom, so it plays off the bedroom cable box. It also plays off the bedroom cable box HDMI, if the bedroom power control panel is turned, and it is set to HDMI 1 with the source button the Phillips remote control.

10/07/15 Wednesday 11:25 A.M. I went downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I chatted with a neighbor waiting for the bus at the train station. According to two neighbors, www.target.com in Stamford is the best place to get inexpensive cell phones for $30. On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center. I toured www.cvs.com , but I forgot my two coupons. I might need a Phillips universal remote control if the Westinghouse TV works. They are still doing a bit of construction around Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought a SATCO 12 inch 32 watt round florescent light bulb for $9.99 and .63 tax for $10.62 total. After my walk, I sat out contemplating the day. There was a Christian couple from some foreign country displaying their pictures, so I figured that was good luck, so I bought a dollar Ace's High scratch card at Zen Stationary, and I won $25 for $24 profit. I then sat out for a while. I then walked up to the www.chase.com bank north of Saks Fifth Avenue, and I used the ATM machine to put my winnings in the bank. I then used the bathroom again at the senior and the arts center. It was not very busy out. I then went to the A&P Fresh, and I was told they are turning to an Albertson's next week. I bought two 5.5 ounce frozen Jimmy Dean barbecue sandwiches for $1.99 each, a four pack of blueberry muffins for $3.50, three 11.5 ounce Folgers Hazelnut ground coffee for $2.99 each, a Hass avocado for $1.25, and a tomato for $2.99 a pound for $1.08 for $18.74 total.

10/06/15 Tuesday 11:50 P.M. I hooked up the Phillips refurbished DVD player to the kitchen LED TV setup. It turns on with the second switch from the left on the control panel, and one has to change the LED TV source to AV. The Phillips DVD player has its own remote control. The Greenwich Library has a lot of DVDs to check out. Alas the only DVDs I have is the Roy Oberson black and white music DVD and the Microsoft Windows XP launch DVD. CIO

I then drove through downtown Greenwich Avenue observing a slow night. I could not get out for a while, since I had cold food in the Volvo wagon. I returned home, and I put away my groceries, and I picked up the mail. Donald www.trump.com is on the cover of www.forbes.com magazine. If he needs another less expensive house in Greenwich to maintain a Greenwich, Connecticut home address, so we could be another presidential hometown, this vintage house http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/500-Lake-Ave-Greenwich-CT-06830/82975602_zpid/ is available for $7.5 million on 10 acres of property on Lake Avenue.

I probably need the exercise, but I have gotten bored of walking Greenwich Avenue in endless circles. Possibly if I just stay home and eat less, I will lose weight. CIO

I removed the scotch tape off the decals on the HP Compaq computer. I found a Westinghouse 32 inch LCD Television model LD 3237 in the dumpster. It does not have its power supply, so I can not test it. I can order a power supply for it for $14, but I am not sure I want to invest in a possibly broken HDTV. I chatted with a relative.

10/05/15 Monday 7:55 A.M. I watched the CNN News about the rain in the southeastern United States. It is suppose to move further north to Delaware and then go out to sea. I chatted with a friend. I will now have a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. CIO
10/05/15 Monday 6:55 A.M. I tweaked some of the HP Compaq computer settings. I took the British Union Jack, U.S.A. flag, and Canadian Maple Leaf decals off the FIC server, and I used some Borden's glue to put them on the HP Compaq computer beneath Windows 7 case badge. Until the glue dries, I am holding them on with scotch tape. I tried using the Asus internet radio, but only a couple of radio stations come in. Maybe it is outdated technology. I have to go out a little before 9 A.M. this morning to pay my rent. There is not a lot happening in terms of my internet activity. Maybe because I am on low budget, I am just catching up with the vaster world on the internet that finds my low budget operation bothersome. Who knows maybe, I am still in Greenwich, China or some other foreign country that just looks like Greenwich, Connecticut. However, since I recently drove down from Kennebunkport, Maine, I am fairly sure I am in the good old United States of America. I once lived in Greenville, South Carolina the first half of 1976, so I am familiar with the state of South Carolina, where they are getting all of the flooding. Greenville where Daniel Construction was headquartered was in the higher hill country in the western part of the state. There are quite a lot of people from this area that have retired from this area to the coast of South Carolina. I heard on the news that I-95 in South Carolina is closed, so one can not drive north or south through that area at the moment. I think I-70 further west might still be opened. Jeb Bush has recently been involved with a South Carolina pharmaceutical company, so he probably has other contacts in the state. CIO
10/05/15 Monday 4:05 A.M. On the HP Compaq, I have the Tripp-Lite isobar premium surge suppressor control panel connected to the Tripp-Lite Uninterruptable Power Supply, and I have the Tripp-Lite Uninterruptable power supply connected to the Serial port on the HP Compaq computer, so the Tripp-Lite program works for shutting down the computer, if there is a power failure.
I have so many computers and computer parts in my apartment computer laboratory, I do not need to buy too many parts anymore, I just move them around between systems. Alas, nobody feels like working maintaining systems all of the time for little or no profit, but it is what I have learned to do over 25 years. One would think that with 450,000 people working for nearby www.ibm.com someone might be interested in my major endeavors in personal computers, but they all turn a blind eye to me. I guess they are a lot more advanced up in Armonk, New York. Still I do what I know how to do and am able to afford to do. With my arthritis, I can not be working on vintage Mercedes Benz or other forms of antique transportation. I find working with computers more interesting than washing dishes and pots in a French restaurant. Also since I try to keep track of what I do, I feel like I am being my own lawyer, since obviously I could not afford a lawyer if I ever needed one. A writer is suppose to write from their own experience. I guess the www.apple.com devices have lots of applications, but even if one had an Apple device, the applications, and their usage would be expensive. I guess the computer people on the west coast have bigger budgets than the home brew computer people on the east coast. However, we do have more water at times. Possibly some of my influential neighbors intimidate the casual users out their in the vastness of America, but I obviously have a bit of experience based on my experience. CIO
10/05/15 Monday 2:25 A.M. On the Dell Optiplex 740 tower in front of the mahogany bureau, I moved the Logitech Panda web cam to it from the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. I also moved the Logitech RCA plug headset from the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ocosmo TV to the Dell Optiplex 740- tower, so it now has a better headset. I move the items from the Dell Optiplex 740 tower to the computers the devices came from. From the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ocosmo TV, I moved the Tripp-Lite isobar Premium Surge Protector with four switches to the HP Compaq setup underneath its Hannspree 23 inch LED monitor. Thus the HP Compaq desktop turns on with the right switch and the monitor from the second switch to the right. I put the Rosewill six switch power strip on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ocosmo TV. Possibly its Logitech USB headset microphone on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ocosmo TV does not work, but I can live without that. Aomei backups do not work to SC cards.
I will now make and eat 8 ounces of reheated Perdue Italian chicken strips of white cooked breast meat, steamed baby carrots a microwaved potato with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Splenda sweetener and America's Choice lemon juice.

10/05/15 Monday 12:25 A.M. I ate three small bowls of goldfish crackers. Not much happening on this side of the planet. I suppose the people in the eastern hemisphere are having all of the fun with their new world order. Still we manage to survive in the western hemisphere on the hand outs that the colonial masters in the eastern hemisphere throw our way. I guess we are controlled by the bottom line of some Swiss accountant's perspective. I put the Samsung 64 GB SD card on the Dell Optiplex 740 tower. However, since it does not have NTSF file format, one can not do a Windows Complete PC backup to it. I did not try an Aomei backup on it. Being on a night schedule recently, I am not doing anything particularly exciting, but I have my normal computer and internet routines that take a bit of time. I changed up my Iview tablets. I never use them, since I have a hard time using tablet keyboards. According to Ebay, my Panasonic Toughbook is work a bit more than what I paid for it, particularly since it has a number of accessories. Alas, the local affluent www.apple.com mafia in this area have the big bucks to buy their more expensive products, while the more tech savvy people are left with the less expensive equipment that they are familiar with. I have not yet tried Cortina which comes with Windows 10, but I suppose it has some interesting features. Since I get no feed back to speak about, either everyone is not interested in my perspective, or they are involved in other features of the more modern world like luxury travel to deluxe resorts, gourmet dining, or cultural enlightenment. Of course not many people want big houses in the suburbs, since it is just a lot of work to maintain them, particularly in the colder weather. I guess you can not even buy fresh apple cider anymore, since a lot of the old apple orchards have been developed into mcmansions. Well this morning will start another busy day in the financial and tech community, but I don't know if there is anything new worth talking about. One would think some government agency could afford to give away some of its software for free, so those of use whom can not afford to buy expensive software would have some programs to fiddle with on our windows computers. The best free program that I know about is http://openoffice.org/ . Of course www.ccleaner.com is about the most popular free download. CIO
10/04/15 Sunday 10:55 P.M. I threw out the garbage. It is a big cold out, and it is currently about 54 degrees Fahrenheit outside. The problem with walking downtown after Starbuck and CVS close at 10 P.M. is that there is no place to go to the bathroom, besides the local pubs and restaurants which I have never investigated. CIO
10/04/15 Sunday 9:55 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I went back to bed at 7:45 P.M., and I woke up again at 9:30 P.M.. I made my bed. I am now going to have anther cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I will then shower and clean up. CIO
10/04/15 Sunday 7:40 P.M. I woke up, and I ate a bowl of goldfish crackers. Back in the old days in February 1982, when I was homeless around the Casa Marina in Key West, I used to live off goldfish crackers that were plentiful around the outside cabana bar. Of course I think Goldfish crackers come from Norwalk, Connecticut. I woke up at 7 P.M.. I chatted with a relative. For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with extra virgin olive oil, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I chatted with a relative. CIO
End of Scott's Notes week of 10/04/15

10/04/15 Sunday 12:55 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. There were a few pub crawlers around. After my walk, I stopped CVS on West Putnam Avenue. I bought a 17.5 ounce Abound unsalted mixed nuts for $8.99 total. I then returned home. I ate a ham and cheese sandwich on 15 grain bread with Hellmann's mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and Wise jalapeņo potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. CIO

I chatted with a relative.
For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with extra virgin olive oil, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I went back to bed. CIO
10/03/15 Saturday 9:20 A.M. I did some regular internet work. I chatted with two relatives twice each. I will now shut down the primary work computers, and I will eat a blueberry muffin, and I will try to go to bed for the day. CIO
10/03/15 Saturday 8:10 A.M. I watched the final episode 5 of "Empire". The only parts of the former British Empire that I have seen parts of are Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas, St. John's ?, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados. Well, it seems to be getting cooler here. However, as a native northern person, the cold weather is pretty much in my blood, so once I get used to the colder conditions, it will back to Ice Station Zebra again. The summer here are so short, I don't even try to get used to the warmer weather. I was a bit warm up in Maine during this last trip sleeping without air conditioning. I have not heard from any new people out of the vast network of people on the internet, so I guess they have Greenwich, Connecticut mixed up with Greenland possibly. I am back to my limited income lifestyle. However, I don't have any debts at the moment. When I get my renter's rebate, I will be making more auto insurance payments as usual. The local population tends to ignore me, since I am not their cup of tea. I guess when one is younger, it is all right to be low income, but when one is older, one gets ignored for being low income. There are supposed to be a lot more low income people in the world that affluent people. However, in Greenwich, the it might be reversed. Still I have done my best to keep communications open with other parts of the world to no avail. We do not seem to have many new people from the western part of the Eastern hemisphere, but I see more people here from the eastern part of the Eastern Hemisphere. I am limited in my travel in this area, so I do not see individuals that might be living nearby in neighboring communities. Still, I am used to the area. I guess I will be spending more time inside again this coming winter. Well I suppose, the new younger generation are educated differently, so they are pursuing their adventures differently. One long time friend has recently moved away from this area, so I am no longer in touch with his larger network of friends, where ever they might be. I just maintain my simple routines. We needed rain in this area, and rainy days are pretty regular in this area, so despite the recent sunny days, this not a dry climate by any stretch of the imagination. New England has always been mostly a damp climate. I read that on this past Tuesday, Portland, Maine had six inches of rain. For some odd reason the Canadians to the north of us do not communicate very much, so they must be busy with their own viewpoint in the north country. One can now read the Canadian press off the internet, but it is probably mostly about ice hockey, which I used to know something about. Exercise walking on Greenwich Avenue is reasonably inexpensive to do, but one has to make sure one fits into the local Chamber of Commerce viewpoint. I did read on the internet this week, that www.microsoft.com is going to open a large flagship store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan in the coming month, so maybe Microsoft will give the Apple store some competition. I guess the politicians are still busy running for office, but I still think it is way to early to focus on presidential politics, when there is over a year until the election. Of course, since I look at the internet for news as opposed to watching the national news on television, my viewpoint might be a little bit different. I watch both the liberal Bloomberg News and the conservative Fox News. Still from my viewpoint, I could use the $100 a month the digital cable television costs, but I would lose my $20 discount, so it would only be a $80 savings. Still I am connected up to the whole world on the internet, but the only communications is the monthly bills. I guess senior citizens are not supposed to be movers and shakers, and the younger generation is making the major moves in the world today. Instead of sitting downtown in public on Greenwich Avenue, I could sit out on one of the benches outside the Greenwich Library, where more than likely people know English, since most of the Greenwich Library content is in English. I have a theory the Hong Kong Chinese took over here, when China took over Hong Kong, but that is just a theory. CIO
10/03/15 Saturday 6:00 A.M. I watched episode 4 of "Empire". I slept some more from 4:30 A.M. to 5:30 A.M. I ate a http://scott-mike.com/em.htm with a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water. I will now have a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. CIO

10/02/15 Friday 10:30 P.M. I took a fourth of a head of Cello iceberg lettuce, and I ripped it up into small pieces on a dinner plate with one sliced tomato and one fourth Bermuda red onion diced and a 1.75 ounce tin of Bumble Bee sardines with oil and a peeled and sliced ripe avocado.
