I used 3.5 pounds of potatoes which I cut into 1/3rd inch thick slices and boiled 30 minutes instead of 20 minutes. I also used two one pound Danish Dak hams that I cut into small slices. I also used eight Kosher dill spears that I cubed. I also used a 6 ounce can of Lindsay extra large black pitted olives that I cut in half. I also put in two tablespoons of Dijon mustard and eight dashes of Frank's hot sauce, and a couple of tablespoons of horseradish sauce. Since it has more potatoes, I used more seasoning and other additives in the recipe. I also used an extra large Bermuda red onion instead of a regular onion. I also used 1.5 ounces of Hormel bacon bits. I also used a half cup of Hellmann's extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise instead of Lite mayo.

<888> 12/29/14 Monday 7:00 P.M. I uninstalled and reinstalled Internet Explorer 8 on the Windows 7 partition on the primary work computer. I then did a partial system refresh.

One first has to uninstall SP1 via this method http://windows.microsoft.com/uninstallwindows7sp1 with the Command Prompt method since the SP1 upgrade did not show up in the Updates to be removed. It took about two hours to remove. I then downloaded SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842 and burned it to DVD. I then installed it which took about another two hours. I then installed about 130 recent Windows Updates which took another four hours.

<888> 12/27/14 Saturday 8:05 A.M. I ate a one fifth piece of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip topping and two clemetines from Moroc. I was told by an employee at the A&P Fresh that the individual had recently visited http://www.lanzarote.com/ but being closed to West Africa, one might get exposed to the Ebola virus there. I do know it is not too warm there in the winter, but with little vegetation there, it is good for people with allergies. Also since it out in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, they also have very fresh air there. Also since it tends to be a desert climate with very little fresh water, at night when the skies are usually clear, one can see the millions of stars in the Heavens that one does not usually see in this part of the world. Alas I was only there for a few weeks in February 1972 a year after Raquel Welch made the movie there "A Million Years B.C.". It is mostly a lot black lava sand in its volcanic terrain. Back in February 1972, it cost about $8 a day to rent a Moped, but they are not very good on the black sandy roads, and they can break down. I once tried to camp out on the beach beneath a cliff on the Western Side of the Island where part of the old movie set still was, and the skies got black, where one could not see anything at night, and it was my perspective that some giant sea monster might have come out of the deep Atlantic Ocean. The locals grow onions in the black volcanic sand of the volcanic craters. At some points the crust is only eight inches thick above the lava. They do not have much free water there, so one only flushes after number 2. I paid $40 for a one hour flight on www.iberia.com from Malaga in southern Spain to get there. If one does not mind a week's voyage, it was about $100 for a deck passage on a ocean ferry, which might be uncomfortable. There were British Tourists there from the Isle of Wright and quite a few German tourists. They fry their fresh fish in olive oil. The Germans drink German beer there. Since fresh water is not too common, one does not get to take fresh water showers every day, but one can rinse off in the salty ocean. Playa Blanca on the southern side of the island was remote with a few Danish surfer hippies camping out on the beach. There was an old www.coke.com cooler with cold local beer there. A Norwegian resident Rhone Dietrin invited me to stay with his mother and her friend at their small bungalow at the end of the runway. His father was a pilot with https://www.flysas.com/ . Alas he probably never left the remote island, so he is probably still guiding the many tourists around the island. They have more modern resorts there too on the eastern coast. I did not see all of the island. There used to be a hippie commune on the north eastern side of the island. I guess it has gotten so modern there, people have forgotten the simpler days of travel. I can imagine during the various World Wars, there were probably various coastal observers observing the various nautical traffic in the area. They might still have wild dogs on the island, because Canary from the Latin Word for Dog which is Canis, and when they were first discovered the Canary Islands had a lot of wild dogs. Also during the last European Ice Age fifty thousand years ago, there were blond hair blue eye people living in the Canary Islands, so some people managed to go south. Ernest Hemingway, when we supposedly was writing in Marbella, Spain would frequently be in Lanzarote , because it has some of the best marlin fishing in the world. Also www.nasa.gov used to have a ground monitoring station there in case the Space Shuttle had to abort in flight and land in Morocco. I have a theory there might be secret underwater volcanic caves where Jules Verne type submarines can hide out from prying eyes, but it is just a theory. Of course for older people, there are probably limited medical facilities there. I think it is a Spanish culture, so they do things the Spanish way. CIO
<888> 12/27/14 Saturday 6:50 A.M. The way I figured it, a lot of people will still be away until the Monday after New Years returning for work on January 5, 2015, so they could be anywhere on their holiday breaks.

They are very practical around here, whenever we get snow and slush. When one gets a new pair of leather boots, a friend used to treat the leather with http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=Mink%20Oil&adid=22222222224209898113&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=3530204213&wl1=e&wl2=mink%20oil&wl3=15087328592&veh=sem , but I am cheap, so I generally just use Saddle Soap http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ASaddle%20soap . It is suppose go up to 55 degrees Fahrenheit today and be sunny. However, this time of year the sun does not come up until 7:18 A.M. http://www.tides.info/?command=view&location=Cos+Cob+Harbor%2c+off+Goose+Island%2c+Connecticut+Current . I suppose the usual group of www.starbucks.com deja vue people will be moving around. I have a 25% off regular price coupon at www.cvs.com , but there is nothing that I really need. Still it is nice to get out for a walk on a slow holiday weekend, when it is not too busy in our small metropolis. We might see some holiday visitors visiting their relatives here. CIO

We might have a few visitors here visiting their relatives too. I chatted with a friend. I have been awake since about 7 P.M. last night with only six hours sleep yesterday, so I am a bit worn out, if you get my drift. CIO

<888> 12/21/14 Sunday 6:25 A.M. I ate two clementines. The USB speakers on the Dell Latitude 4600i tower computer in the bedroom were plugged into the wrong speaker jack on the Creative Labs 5.1 sound card. I plugged them into the next lower speaker jack, and they now work just fine. It also have a USB headset on it that works just fine. I used four strips of Scotch tape to secure the little two foot artificial Christmas tree to its teak base, so when one walks by it at the kitchen entrance, and one is wearing a heavy cost, one will not knock it over hopefully. I do not hear from many people anymore, so I guess they are all busy with their holiday activities, where ever they might be. My two friends who live in the upper east side of Manhattan have departed for their home down south, before they cruise the south Pacific after the New Years. Elderly people tend to enjoy cruise ships in their free time. Alas, the only ship I have been on besides the www.nantucket.net and Martha's Vineyard ferries is a medium size ocean ferry from Piraeus in Greece to Crete back in the spring of 1972. It was a rough voyage, so I have never ventured on the high seas again. They used to have cruise ships on the Great Lakes which were like ocean steamers, but nobody is interested in that part of the world anymore. With the warmer weather, I would imagine the St. Lawrence Seaway is probably still open and ice free. I guess after living like a hermit working in restaurants in Nantucket for those few years, I lost track of my pier group in Greenwich while working around young high school kids, but that was 31 years ago, so more than likely they are all middle age adults by now. I have been around a lot of younger people while walking downtown at night all of these years, but younger people do not network with older people, so I am not sure what they do or where they are from. I suppose some of their parents are from my pier group of individuals in town whom tend to be more private, if they are still in town and not retired elsewhere in warmer climates. CIO

<888> 12/19/14 Friday 11:40 P.M. I chatted with two relatives. I updated or refreshed the CMOS bios on the other five www.ibm.com ThinkCentre computers. I put links in http://scott-mike.com/computer.htm as to which of my six ThinkCentres use which BIOS. IBM and Lenovo have made so many different models over the years, one has to be careful to find the right bios, or risk turning your computer into a BRICK. Under Flashing Bios in this manual http://support.lenovo.com/en/docs/um000380 on page 516, it tells how to repair a ThinkCentre Bios that has been flashed with the wrong bios or other bios problem, so if you make a mistake, you are not stuck with a brick.

I updated its bios to Lenovo Model: 6258BY8, Serial Number: MJGMH97, Bios 5CKT77AUS, Bios Date: 05/07/12. I had to download the bios update for the CD Bios Update and make a CD from it and then boot it, and it took several minutes to update the Bios.

I went by the A&P Fresh, and I bought a five pound box of Moroc clementines for $4.99 and a four pack of light and fluffy blueberry muffins for $3.50 for $8.49 total. I then went by the new www.chase.com bank just west of the Greenwich Library. An easier way to get to it coming from West Putnam Avenue is turn right at the A&P Fresh and then turn left on Field Point Road and left back on to West Putnam Avenue and right into the new Chase Bank and then exit on Deerfield Drive. They have an ATM machine in the drive up and a ATM at low level at the front entrance that is slightly covered from the elements. Of course on a rainy night, one could always use the Chase ATM machine at the top of Greenwich Avenue which is enclosed. I then went downtown to Greenwich Avenue. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. The foundation is still being constructed at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue for the new building there as is the new fire station foundation, so there is just a hole in the ground in both places. I toured the train station. I toured the Apple store. I told a young blond fellow he should visit Scandinavia. I used the bathroom at the lower level of the senior and the arts center.

I then went by the very busy Stop and Shop on West Putnam Avenue. Their meat counter is fully stocked with Holiday feast items. I bought a chunk of Jarlsberg cheese for $4.99 a pound $9.03, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey ham for $5.99 a pound for $5.93, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $4.94, two prepared colorful bowtie pasta alfredo meals for $1.49 and $1.99 each, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.43, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $2.29, a one pound bag of organic baby carrots $2.29 for $29.39 total. I chatted with a woman from Yorktown Heights, Virginia where there are supposed to be www.navy.mil people, and I told her about Williamsburg, Virginia, when I stayed there around 1964 for a month in the summer during July with a Harrison family member and we stayed with the secretary of the Colonial Williamsburg foundation President who also had an old Virginia family name in the restored Old Jail which was a house across the street from the State of Virginia mental hospital which was yellow brick. I then returned back to Chez Vinci, and I put away my groceries. I also chatted with a Greenwich Housing Authority official while I was walking downtown. CIO

I took off the face plate off the front of the Lenovo ThinkCentre, and I installed the SATA DVD/RW drive with a spare SATA cable that I had. The SATA connector is underneath the hard drive. I setup the Lenovo ThinkCentre with the 23 inch AOC LED monitor on the mahogany night stand to the right of the living room desk.

Back in the old days, when I lived around Billy Baldwin's Billy Baldwin Decorates: A book of practical decorating ideas friends in Manhattan, the friendly people from Vermont used to sell live Christmas Trees at Beekman Place and Broadway and West 72nd Street.

Back in the winter of 1989, a local friend from Bedford, New York and Stowe, Vermont took me to Innsbruck, Austria http://www.innsbruck.com/ , where I toured the small town for a week. The AAA www.aaa.com travel office on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut back then was selling a vacation package for $799 with a round trip from JFK to Munich on http://www.lufthansa.com/ and a week's stay at a hotel in Innsbruck with breakfast and dinner included. They were not very high tech in Innsbruck, and they did not even use cash registers, but change purses except in the small local mall. They even had a large warehouse for citrus products. I even toured the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofburg,_Innsbruck , and I gave one of the guards an Emperor Franz Joseph I http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Joseph_I_of_Austria metal that I found in my rental apartment on Steamboat Road.

I then bought two 6 ounce cans of Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds for two for $5 and $$3 off with a bonus bucks coupon from the previous sale for $2 total. I then went further down Greenwich Avenue, and the town was pretty much empty on a cold winter's night. I sat out observing the two lighted big trees in front of the Senior and the Arts Center. The empty Starbucks was just about ready to close.

The lower control panel in the center of the desk underneath the IBM ThinkCentre turns on the Abit computer on the left side of the bedroom desk, and the upper control panel turns on the IBM ThinkCentre in the centre of the desk. I moved the printer stand from the far right of the desk to underneath the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer to the right of the primary work computer, so there is now room to place waste print out paper which does accumulate over time. On top of the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop near where the Lenovo tower will be, I placed a new Intel LAN card, the SIIG audio card, a new Lenovo RCA plug headset, and a new Logitech C600 web cam.

I have two spare PCI Xpress 1 X16 video cards and the Dell has an AGP video card.

I have had those telephone calls before. I finally woke up at 2:30 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. CIO

<888> 12/10/14 Wednesday 2:30 A.M. I ate 11 triscuit reduced fat crackers with .5 inch by 3/16th inch by 1.5 inch pieces of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese on them. I guess since I am 1/4th Scottish American and 1/4th British American, there is no rush to ever see me in the United Kingdom, since they have plenty of people over there like me to entertain the 18 million tourists a year that London gets. They probably don't like cigarette smokers over there anyway. A few times, when I got bored while living in Manhattan, I would take the train to the plane and walk around the British Airways terminal at night at J.F.K. airport to see if any British people noticed me in the Big City, but once I got back into the Big City, it was pretty much the same routine walking around endlessly in circles in various street patterns that I had learned from experience. I used to spend quite a bit of time walking around Third Avenue where the British Consulate offices are, and we used to call it "Queen's Boulevard". Alas the glamorous Fifth Avenue crowd never took much notice of myself or any of our friends whom would come and go. I was told that first generation British immigrants in this country frequently have financial problems, since they are not entitled to our benefits, so the wife of the British consulate in Manhattan volunteers in a soup kitchen that helps them out. I know Winston Churchill's granddaughter Sarah Churchill used to volunteer in a soup kitchen in Manhattan back in the early 1970s. I guess they used to think I was rich, because I lived in Greenwich, Connecticut and drove my mother's new Chevrolet Monte Carlo into Manhattan. However, back in the early 1973, when I lost my job at Boodles in Greenwich as a waiter, I was only making $50 to $100 a night on a good night. However, my Greenwich friends did not like my Manhattan friends from Long Island whom were more affluent, so they were frequently at conflict with each other. In fact I never mentioned any of my Greenwich friends names in Manhattan, just the names of a few people I knew around Lake Forest, Illinois, when I went to college there. I guess when www.mcdonalds.com started setting up shop in Manhattan, they were somewhat less than impressed, since the people in Manhattan back then liked eating Water Kress salads with Dijon vinaigrette dressing and a slice of French bread with a glass of white wine versus a 15 cent hamburger. One friend whom lived on Minetta Lane in Manhattan was upset, when they built a new McDonalds on West Fourth Street behind his carriage house, and all he could smell was hamburgers and French Fries. He worked at the Spring Street restaurant which featured crab stuffed Dover Sole for about $7.95. Of course just north of the Sign of the Dove restaurant at around 65th Street and Third Avenue, they used to have an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips, but it never expanded too far in America from what I can tell. There used to be another one, where Wendy's is in Greenwich. The second Avenue deli at around 50th street just south of the A&P used to sell a liverwurst sandwich for about $2. The Greek Restaurant at 50th street and First Avenue used to serve two fried eggs with three strips of bacon and toasted English muffin with coffee and milk and sugar for about $3. I think orange juice was extra. Alas for the rich people the Mayfair Restaurant is not longer there at 54th Street and First Avenue. They used to serve two broiled one inch thick pork chops with candied apple slice and broccoli and yello rice for $7.95. Back in my day in Manhattan, most restaurants served a bacon blue cheese burger with home fries and kosher dill pickle slice with a slice of tomato and a leaf of lettuce for $2.95. Also a roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll with mayonnaise was $2.95 at most delis. Cigarettes skyrocketed in price while I was in Manhattan from 50 cents a package to $1.29 a package, and lots of people from India were selling them from tobacco booths. FVM like eating fettuccini alfredo at the Isle of Capri at Third Avenue and 59th street for about $7. Of course there was an automat at 42nd street and second avenue opened 24 hours a day just north of the Daily News building. I never went to the Times Square area, because there were too many hucksters in that neighborhood. There was another $3 breakfast place at Madison Avenue and about 66th Street. Alas I have not lived in Manhattan, since February 1982; so it probably has changed a bit. I quit driving into Manhattan at night about July 1993, when I was mugged with a friend, when we tried to help out someone whom turned out to be a mugger. I figured I was getting old and slow, so I quit going there, except for two February visits after 911 one during the G8 conference and another on a minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit night, and I think the only other time was the February Microsoft conference about seven years ago. Thus although I see a lot of people from New York City out here, I do not feel inclined or can afford the expense. CIO

<888> 12/08/14 Monday 7:45 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I drove East on West Putnam Avenue and left on Valley Drive to a right on Glenville Road to a right at the Lake Avenue Circle to South on Deerfield Drive, and just before West Putnam Avenue across the street to the west of the Greenwich Library, I turned into the Deerfield Drive entrance of the new www.chase.com bank, where the old www.exxon.com service station used to be. They only have about eight parking places on their upper level outside parking, so I parked in the lower level underground parking which has more parking places. I walked around on the driveway to the front entrance instead of taking the elevator. They have a drive through ATM machine on the west side, but it might be a drive through teller, I could not tell. There is also an outside ATM machine at the front entrance. They should have an inside ATM machine, so somebody can write to endorse checks out of the elements. I made a small withdrawal. They gave me two Chase ball point pens. They have another ATM machine at the teller counter, but one can only make a maximum of $25 withdrawal there, which is not very much money by Greenwich, Connecticut standards. I then exited the new Chase Bank by the Deerfield Drive exit. It is hard to get into the far left of three lanes to make a left turn onto West Putnam Avenue, so I took the center lane to Field Point Road, and turned left on East Elm Street to make it to downtown Greenwich. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by the www.apple.com computer store. They told me they do not sell their operating system separate, so one can use the Apple Emulator with a PC DOS Windows device to run the Apple operating system. They told me the military use their Apple laptops as is. I stopped by the Senior and the Arts Center, and I chatted with the person that told me about green tea pills. I used the bathroom there. I then stopped by the http://www.greenwichhardware.com/index.php , and I bought a Pass & Seymour 3-Way Turn Knob Socket Interior for $5.49 and .35 tax for $5.84. I then went by CVS, and I bought two 9.5 ounce Triscuit brown rice sea salt and pepper crackers for $2.50 each for $5 total. I then bought a Glade Automatic Scent machine 9 ounce linen scent refill for $5 with a $1.50 off from the CVS coupon machine and .22 tax for $3.72 total. I then went by the Chase Bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I got some parking change. I then sat out for a while at the top of Greenwich Avenue. I then chatted with a local Norwegian American electronics engineer whom was cold. I gave him a quick briefing about what I have been doing. I finished my walk, and I sat out for a while. I then went by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won $2 for a dollar profit. I then chatted with a local dog trainer and his client about dogs.

I then drove around downtown Greenwich Avenue where the annual Christmas stroll was going on. I could not find a parking place down by Starbucks, because the Board of Education parking lot was full of food vending trucks. I drove over to the rear parking area just east of J.P. Morgan. The Greenwich Baptist Church gave me a coupon for a free cup of coffee at the Belgium Bakery shop on lower Greenwich Avenue. http://www.shrevecrumpandlow.com/stores/greenwich-jewelry-store.aspx is now opened in the old Putnam Trust Bank building. I went to CVS.

I then sat out for a while. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart to bring up the Ginger Ale. I put away my purchases. I cleaned the white ceramic lamp. Its socket switch was broken. I took the socket switch out of the small Bumble Bee lamp, and I put it in the white ceramic lamp. I then put the white ceramic lamp on top of the speaker on top of the rear of the Epox computer in the living room with a 75 watt CFL light bulb. I put the light green cardboard lamp shade that I bought from Restoration Hardware store a few years ago on it. I put another lamp shade on the lamp in the bedroom. I put the Bumble Bee lamp on the Abit computer, and I will get a socket switch for it, when I have time. I moved the Glade Scent machine from on top of the Abit computer to on top of the speaker on the lower left hand side of the Ocosmo LED TV.

<888> 12/04/14 Thursday 2:50 A.M. I ate four ounces of Blue Diamond wabasi and soy almonds.
I was just thinking about how modern the Royal British Navy has become http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=hms+hornet&go=Submit+Query&qs=bs&form=QBIR . The last time I was in Virginia Beach, Virginia was when I took a private charter flight up from Cayo Hueso, and we puddle jumped from Cayo Hueso to Cape Canaveral to Virginia Beach and possibly with a stop somewhere in New Jersey and then to Stratford airport, where there was about six inches snow on the ground in April 1982. I then went to work building a garage apartment out in Plandome Manor, Long Island for someone who had a Florida house there with terricota tiles who used to tell me they like going to Tobago. Knowing how cold it can get up north, I put 12 inches of pink Owens Corning fiberglass in the attic, 12 inches of pink Owens corning fiberglass on the north wall that I built out and two inches styrofoam underneath the floor against the cement. By the time I left the completed project in February 1983, I had put in over 6500 or more hours into the project for which I was paid about $8,500 and no social security which works out to about $1.31or less an hour for construction work. The individuals were friends who claimed to have major political connections, but they were in the democratic party, and since I was a republican in Mr. Grumman's neighborhood, it never lead to anything but back to dishwashing in Nantucket around more liberal democrats. I do much better around the Republicans working on computers which I have done for about 25 years of my recent life. After the garage apartment was finished, I moved the widow's daughter into the apartment, and bought her about a $100 of house warming gifts. I then spent a week in New Haven, Connecticut at the Colony Hotel, and then I spent a week in Georgetown, where I met Dr. Gillespie, Lyndon Johnson's heart surgeon. I then visited a relative in Bayonet Point, Florida for about two weeks. I then spent a week with a relative Norwalk, Connecticut. I then bought a $799 round trip package on Scandanavian Airlines at Kennedy airport for a week's stay in Stockholm, Sweden at the S.A.S. hotel with round trip included. However, the S.A.S. flight landed at a military airport in Oslo, Norway, where a bus took us to the S.A.S. hotel in Oslo next to the Palace. The person at the S.A.S. Hotel in Oslo told me my ticket was only good for a one way ticket to Stockholm with no hotel fare. I spent two nights at the Y.M.C.A. across the street before they threw me out for not paying my bill, since I was low on money. I walked around all night, and in the early morning hours, I walked into the West Hotel behind the palace, and I gave them my passport, and they gave me a room. I stayed there for about a week. I did not eat any food except Swedish Wasa Crisps that I bought a local deli. The United State Embassy contacted my father, and he paid my room fares and my return flight. They gave me a $100 traveling money. On the flight back, we changed planes in Copenhagen for a big new Boeing 747 S.A.S. jet, and while in Copenhagen, I bought two cartons of Prince Cigarettes for $20 each duty free. When we got back to J.F.K. airport in New York, I spent about two weeks living in the airport around the S.A.S. terminal part of which time was during the Easter Holiday period, when I saw a lot of traveling religious people. Finally I called my friend in Long Island, and I took the Long Island Railroad to his grandmother's house, and he gave me a $100 bill that I used to buy a ticket from J.F.K. to Nantucket where I spent the season working at Le Languedoc restaurant as the head dishwasher for $8.75 an hour. A little bit before Halloween, I flew to Boston and met a relative, and I spent some time in Kennebunkport before driving down with the relative to Vero Beach. I then got a rental car during a tropical storm and went to Fort Lauderdale, where there were about five thousand very tall white people in the beach area, I guess on vacation. After a week, I drove to Bayonet Point again to visit my father. I then drove back to Vero Beach, where I got some needed medical care. I then flew back to Nantucket, where I worked until the end of November, and on the anniversary of J.F.K.'s death, I had taken the ferry from Nantucket to Hyannis and sat up all night in the airport, and I saw Ted Kennedy in the airport at 6 A.M., and Jackie Onassis was on my flight to LeGuardia. I then caught a train from Grand Central Station to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I stayed about two weeks on a couch at the Anglican Seminary walking around Toronto. I then took the Amtrak back to Manhattan. I spent about a week walking around Manhattan napping in the early morning hours at the East Side Airline terminal. I finally came out to Greenwich, where I was hospitalized for a few days for swollen ankles. I then ended up going back to Manhattan walking around the same way for another week staying up all night in the East Side Airline terminal. I finally took a bus to J.F.K, airport, and from there a bus to Greenwich, and this time when I checked into the Greenwich Hospital with swollen ankles, they gave me a $7,500 complete physical for a week, and the result of which was that they said I was disabled. My social worker found me a $250 a month apartment on Milbank Avenue, and I got $200 a month Welfare money. Thus I have been back in this area since the first week of December 1983 or 31 years as the crow flies. CIO

<888> 12/03/14 Wednesday 11:50 P.M. http://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/1201412021506/secrets-of-prince-william-and-kate-middleton-s-swanky-new-york-city-hotel Manhattan is not my turf anymore, but I see a few individuals out here that seem to find their way from Manhattan. I saw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makarios_III at the Carlyle in 1975, and only about 200 people were observing. I have had drinks there a few times, but one does not see many young people in that neighborhood, so I use to explore other youth areas in Manhattan. I think Gloria Vanderbilt is the best known celebrity at the Carlyle, but she has other family members that live in the same neighborhood whom are more private. I once found a friend an apartment on East 70th Street just east of Madison Avenue for $350 a month back in 1974, but I think the rents might have gone up a bit in that neighborhood. As I recall, the apartment was two doors west of the Explorer's Club with the Duke of Windsor's favorite restaurant in between. It was on the original front half story up level. CIO
<888> 12/03/14 Wednesday 10:55 P.M. The new www.chase.com bank on the West Side of the Greenwich Library where the old www.exxon.com gasoline station used to be is scheduled to open Monday December 8, 2014. Since it is hard to make a left turn at that location coming from the west on West Putnam Avenue, when during the few times I have to go to the bank, I will drive up Valley Road to Glenville Road to the Lake Avenue Circle and come south on Deerfield Drive and turn right on West Putnam Avenue and turn right into the new Chase Bank parking area. I really only go to the bank about once a month to take out my rent money to take over to the Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place to pay my rent. It is about the only time I carry large amounts of cash, so I guess it is safe to travel that far with cash which is about three quarters of a mile. The Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place is next to the Greenwich Police Station, so it is a relatively safe location from my viewpoint.

I then went by the central Greenwich Post Office, and I bought 40 forever Holiday stamps for $19.60. I then sat out downtown for a brief spell.

<888> 12/02/14 Tuesday 9:55 P.M. When I would occasionally stay at Fred Von Mierers apartment back in October 1973 to February 1975, I would occasionally eat lunch at www.rockefeller.edu . However, on a limited income, all I could afford was an 8 ounce Dannon yogurt and a red Macintosh apple, and a cup of coffee with sugar and milk. However, I did also live out in Greenwich, Connecticut at that time. I once drove in randomly into Manhattan which back then was not too busy because of the Arab Oil Embargo, and I parked at Rockefeller University in my mother's 1972 tobacco colored Monte Carlo wearing my vintage Brooks Brother's three piece suit, and the event was Belgium Today, when the Queen Fabiola http://www.monarchie.be/royal-family/queen-fabiola of Belgium was touring Rockefeller University. She is well known psychic, so people had to know about it by psychic invitation. For more information on the Belgium Royal Family, one can study http://www.monarchie.be/royal-family .
I ate a blueberry muffin and 6 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt and 8 ounces of cold filtered water. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. I enjoy staying home more, since it is more relaxing and less stressful than watching the world go by on Greenwich Avenue for whatever else it is worth. CIO

I threw out the garbage. I moved the Volvo wagon to its usual place. I used this procedure http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-xc90-9/service-reminder-indicator-reset-31208/ to reset the Service Reminder on the Volvo XC70 wagon.

I do not have a spare DVI cable, but I might be able to take one off one of my other computers to try it. CIO
<888> 12/01/14 Monday 9:15 P.M.

I tried the different video CMOS settings. All I can figure out is that I need a separate video driver for it, that I can not fine. There is supposedly a driver "ibmlenovo39j9334add2rdviipcievideoconnection.zip" that I can not find to download. I left the card in the computer, and I removed the VGA-DVI adapter.

One now just sits in the car for about 15 minutes, which they do the service work. I got an oil filter and oil change and fluid check for $39.99 for a VO66 Valvoline oil filter and 6.1 quarts of Valvoline 5W30 oil and another $4.39 charge for extra oil and a 99 cent charge for replacing the drain plug gasket and $2.88 tax for $48.25 total. They had to remove the shield underneath the Volvo wagon to get at the oil filter. They were most professional and quick and courteous. The Volvo wagon had 109,866 miles on it at the oil change. I then returned on I-95 West to Riverside, and I stopped by www.staples.com , and I used the bathroom there, and I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone.

<888> 12/01/14 Monday 8:10 A.M. When I mailed the letter before going to bed, I said "Hello" to a neighbor. I ate 2 ounces of mixed nuts and 8 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt before going to bed. I woke up at 7 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. I will now shower and clean up. I will then drive over to Oil Star in Stamford, Connecticut to get an oil change on my Volvo wagon. I probably will stop by Old Greenwich on the way back, and possibly visit the Rummage Room thrift shop and drive around the beach. CIO
