I threw out the garbage and the shipping box. By the recycle bin, I found a four foot by 20 inch antique mirror which I brought up to my apartment, and I hung on the lower right side of the kitchen entrance. I moved the picture of Versailles from that location to right side of the Picasso print in the left living room window. I dusted the lazy Susan underneath it.

Windows 9 Technical Preview Web Site worked briefly, but now does not work http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-9-windows-thtechnical-preview-website-reveals-4gb-download-size CIO <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 6:35 P.M.

I sat outside, and I chatted with neighbors. I hooked up the new 50 foot coaxial cable from the gold splitter by the living room stereo system to the Sceptre 23 inch LED television in the kitchen. It is clear as a bell and no more static. CIO 10986 <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 5:10 A.M. I ate a blueberry muffin. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed.

Email - Peter Thiel Live Webcast and Custom Personalized Bats at the Reagan Library! Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library CIO <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 2:55 A.M. I ate two cold large 1/4th inch thick slices of cold rotisserie turkey breast with Frank's hot sauce on them with a baked potato and steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Oleva spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale, and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 1:50 A.M. A friend of mine told me when I chatted with him earlier, that the German bicycle rider that I drove up to Boston in August, after he rode up through Vermont had ridden up to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and then to Toronto, Ontario, Canada; but in Toronto his knees began to hurt him, so instead of riding his bike down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and catching a jet to Costa Rica to ride his bike around Costa Rica, he caught a jet back from Toronto to Cologne, Germany, where is living at home with his parents unemployed. CIO <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 1:35 A.M. Nine Connecticut residents made Forbes' 'Richest People in America' list <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 1:20 A.M. I made 184 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching series 11 episode 4 of "Poirot". CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 9:45 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside briefly enjoying the warm quiet evening. I picked up the mail. I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 8:50 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 7:30 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. I made my bed. I will make up a batch of fresh punch. CIO 10987 <888> 09/29/14 Monday 6:45 P.M. I chatted with a friend at noon. I chatted with a relative at 3 P.M.. I woke up at 5 P.M.. I chatted with a friend. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 6:35 A.M. I installed the Microsoft Surface Pack on the Windows 7 partition on the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner, and Global Surface works just fine with the touch screen. However, the Surface Park will not install on the Windows 8.1 partition, but Bing Maps in the Windows 8.1 Store is pretty much the same as Microsoft Surface. I installed 15 more applications on the Windows 8.1 partition. I have not really used Microsoft 8.1 very much, so I am not that familiar with the user interface, but the IBM ThinkCentre is quite a bit faster than the primary work computer. However, I used the primary work computer the most, since it has the two additional internal backup drives, besides the primary drive. I ate 4 ounces of smoked almonds and a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 3:45 A.M. To test out the touch screen monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre with Windows 8.1 along side the Ethan Allen recliner, I put Simple Solitaire game on it, but the mouse is faster than the touch screen method. In the old days of Microsoft Windows 3, whenever one went into the CompUSA computer store about 20 years ago, everyone was always playing the Solitaire game on it, so not much has changed in the last 20 years except we have all gotten older. They also use touch screen monitors on display cash registers in bars and restaurants. http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-touch-screen-software.html http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-touchscreen.html http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/touch-swipe-tap-beyond http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17368 http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/software-windowstools http://touch-screen.winsite.com/ http://windows.brothersoft.com/windows-8-touch-screen.html http://en.softonic.com/s/windows-8-touch-screen-games CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 1:30 A.M.

The country with one people and 1,200 sausages Bar disruption: Pubs get a hi-tech makeover Is this the kitchen of the future? CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 12:50 A.M. I ate two cold large 3/8th inch thick slices of cold rotisserie turkey breast with Frank's hot sauce on them with a baked potato and steamed baby carrots with Oleva spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale, and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.

CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 11:15 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown to CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought three 12 packs of 12 ounce cans of Canada Dry Ginger Ale for $11 and $1.80 can deposit for $12.80 total. I then bought two 55 ounce Clorox bleach for $2 each and four 45 ounce Xtra 2X scented liquid detergent for $1.44 each and .62 tax for $10.38 total. I then went further downtown, and I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I then said hello to a regular at Starbucks. I then walked then entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. Both frozen yogurt stands on lower Greenwich Avenue are opened late at night as is the new juice bar at the People's Bank building with interesting sandwiches for about $7.99. On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by CVS again, and I used the bathroom. I bought a red Pioneer 100 magnetic sheet photograph album for $13.19 less 25% with a CVS internet coupon for $3.30 off and .63 tax for $10.52 total. The Makerbot 3D printer store is looking for help. I then sat out for a while enjoying the quiet evening. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a 42 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.36, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.56, a 12 ounce Perdue chicken cutlet for $1.99, a four pack of fresh blueberry muffins for $2.99, and a 24 ounce rotisserie turkey breast for $7.99 for $18.89 10989 total. I chatted with the Starbucks regular again. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart from the rear of the Volvo wagon to bring up the ginger ale. I then brought down my other folding cart and returned to the smaller folding cart to the rear of the Volvo wagon, and I used the larger folding cart to bring up my other purchases. I then put my groceries away. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 6:55 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go out to explore the Magic Kingdom on Greenwich Avenue which at this time of night is probably only CVS and Starbucks and whatever else one can afford. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 6:00 P.M. I chatted with a relative. 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. http://www.lifelinesys.com/content/?campaign=1009&mm_campaign=8f11d05ce8da357bf3 129f046a7b5731&keyword=philips%20lifeline%20with%20autoalert&gclid=CNWoNPzhMECFaNj7AodlCgA_A&gclsrc=aw.ds CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 4:50 P.M. After the last note, I chatted with a relative. I woke up at 4 P.M., and I chatted with a friend. Tomorrow is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelmas , when it is legal to steal a horse in Scotland. At least 31 believed dead at Japanese volcano CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 09/28/14 <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 7:10 A.M. Well not much happening in the extreme southwest corner of the third smallest state in the nation http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/populations/usaareal.htm . Actually Hawaii is larger than Connecticut. I will now send out my weekly notes. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 6:40 A.M. I ate four ounces of almonds and a 12 ounce glass of 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale and 50% punch. There are some huge people that I frequently see in this area. Since I am one of the smaller people at 6 feet tall and 230 pounds, I tend to chat and network with the smaller people my size. I am not sure what the huge people do, but I guess since they can afford to live and feed themselves here, they must do something in a productive manner. Up in Maine, the people are even larger. In the grocery stores in Maine, the potatoes are half the size of a football. Thus the smaller office types like myself whom work with keyboards and computers, tend to only network with people our size or slightly smaller, since the people can get much larger and intimidating in this area for better or worse. When I first started working with home computers 24 years ago, I met a software engineer who was about six feet tall and eight hundred pounds. When I used to go the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, there was a regular customer who was over 7 feet tall and over 500 pounds. When I went to the Microsoft conference out on Long Island 10990 about seven years ago, there was a man who was six feet tall and about six feet wide. These large people I mention are all northern European white people. Of course out the Midwest of America where there is heavy industry, there are millions of people that size compared to the smaller office workers in the New York City area. When I have been up in Canada, the people are even larger. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 4:45 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt. Japan volcano: 30 hikers feared dead on Mt Ontake CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 3:45 A.M. I woke up at 3:30 A.M. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 11:55 P.M. I ate a three meat and five cheese Marie Callender lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 10:40 P.M. At www.snapfish.com , I sent two sets of six photographs that I took of relatives in Kennebunkport, Maine to an interested relative for $2.64 total charge. What is interesting is that on the SnapFish receipt, it said $2.63, but I was charged $2.64, so perhaps some hacker is taking a penny out of everyone's order hoping people will not notice. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 8:45 P.M. For a Canon Digital Camera battery http://www.hardwareonlinestore.com/clearance/all-clearance/charger-canonsoloxp-c-detail for $2.69 and $13.24 shipping here for $15.93, but it is available elsewhere http://www.amazon.com/Lenmar-SOLOXP-C-Universal-Li-IonCharger/dp/B000VNKGKU for $11.89 and $5.74 shipping for $17.63. However, I have no plans to travel outside the country with my Canon Digital camera. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 8:45 P.M. Useful laundry item from Canada http://www.homedepot.ca/product/greenway-large-capacity-laundryhamper/843992?eid=comm-junction-prod|affiliate|comm-junction|D59|EN|||8439921000720889|||| , but no wheels. Good deal for one at Stamford Target Store $15.99 with local pickup http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-lidded-hamper-with-wheels-white/-/A-14757137 CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 6:40 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 5:10 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. There is no point going downtown to watch our more affluent resident dining out. I think I will stay home and slave away on my home computer network to see I can come up with some sort of new perspective, since after all I know something about personal computers versus hedge funds and politics. CIO 10991 <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 3:35 P.M. I had a telephone call from a relative at noon. I woke up at 1:45 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. I made my bed. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 5:10 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 4:45 A.M. Having been born in Alton, Illinois on the shores of the Mississippi River, I have been covering the shores of America and the World most of my life. Even Florence, Italy in the winter of 1972 had the Arno River, which does not look like too much, until there is rain in the Italian mountains, and then it can flood like in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Flood_of_the_Arno_River CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 3:30 A.M. One of the first things I noticed, when my family first moved to this area in June of 1962 was that I frequently used to see a British Army Colonel walking around mid Lake Avenue coming and going from the Mark Twain showboat type of house. Thus I figured the British walk a lot and there were probably other British people in the area. The more affluent younger people had small British sports cars such as MGs, Triumphs, Mini Coopers, Autin Healys and Morgans which supposedly never started because they had twin Solex carburetors. There used to be a gasoline station next to the downtown fire house in Darien, Connecticut that had over 50 of the old British sports cars in their parking lot. Up in the north country of Kennebunk, Maine; there is this place http://leylandbritish.com/ , where one can still get them repaired. The Swedes hit back during the oil embargo of 1973 with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_P1800 which three friends of mine in Manhattan had the http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/pdf/brochures/IMP1800ES.pdf which were fuel efficient. I even knew somebody with a new Porsche that one did not see around too much, so I guess he was working to pay it off. From what I know about Big City people, they dream about living in the country, but after a few boring weekends in the country, they miss the big time activity of the Big City life style, so they retreat back into their city life styles what ever that might be. I once noticed older people in Manhattan spend a lot of time sitting on the park benches in Central Park with their health care workers. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 3:00 A.M. I ate three ounces of mixed nuts. All Day FREEDOM SALE! - Inogen One G3 System - 12.5 Hour Battery Life - 2 Batteries 5 Year Warranty & Lifetime Free Tech Support - FREE OverNight Delivery on Next-Day FedEx!....Don't Miss This Sale! CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 1:55 A.M. I ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/20x-RG-59Connector-Crimp-on-F-type-Coax-Coaxial-Cable-TV-Satellite/191178216179?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Coaxial_Cables_Connectors&hash=item2c831c12f3 for $4.43 with free shipping. CIO 10992 <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 1:00 A.M. I tested the 50 foot coaxial cable that does not work, and I finally determined that it was the kitchen end that was malfunctioning. I was able to pull off the plug, and cut the cable to remove the bad part, and then I shoved the connector back on, and instead of trying to crimp it which would be tricky, I secured it with electrical tape. It works clear as a bell on the Sceptre LED television in the kitchen, but since it is secured with electrical tape, it can come lose if the television is moved, which is not necessary. However, I will use the new 50 foot coaxial cable, whenever it arrives. I removed the 25 foot coaxial cable, and I put it underneath the bed with the other coaxial cables. When I was reattaching the coaxial cable for the FIC sever at the splitter on the left side of the primary computer, I broke it, so I used a slightly shorter spare coaxial cable which should work just fine. I am starting up the FIC server in a short bit.

I chatted with someone ordering take out food from Steam. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by the www.apple.com computer store, and I showed them my Iview tablet and my Nokia Windows 8.1 Go Phone. They 10993 were not impressed, and just bragged Apple has $120 billion give or take. I watched them installing new sculptures at the Senior and the Arts center. I chatted with a local about travel in Europe. I toured CVS. I stopped by MacInspires, and I showed them my Iview tablet. I stopped by the www.chase.com bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I showed them my Iview device. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store. A 50 foot white coaxial cable there is $16.99 plus tax. I bought a new car scent Christmas tree card for a dollar. After my walked, I installed the new scent card on the rear driver's side seat hook.

I went outside to see if the mahogany telephone table was still there, but it was gone. I was thinking of using it elsewhere in the apartment. I finally woke up at 10 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 brought up the medium size white bookcase from the dumpster area, and I dried it off. I removed the small dark oak table from the left side of the kitchen entrance, and I put the small white bookcase there. I have the wooden bread box and the Rowenta four slice toaster on top of the white bookcase. I cleaned the crumbs out of the Rowenta toaster. I did not install the DeLonghi toaster oven underneath the Rowenta toaster, since I never use it, and it sets off the living room smoke detector. I stored it on the far left bottom of the bedroom closet to have available. It is still like new. I stored some of my spare cans of food from the kitchen floor and other food items in the white bookcase at the kitchen entrance. It all looks a lot neater and more useful. I took the mahogany telephone table with the crooked repaired broken leg out of the bathroom, and I installed the small oak table in the bathroom with the same mix of items around it. I put the mahogany telephone with the repaired crooked broken leg out by the dumpster. Since I lived on Vinci Drive, I was rather amused to see empty cases of http://www.davinciwine.com/About-Us/ Chianti in the recycle bin. I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 09/25/14 Thursday 5:05 P.M. I threw out the garbage. There is a white bookcase out by the dumpster, but I have no room for it. I picked up the mail. I got a charity letter from www.bowery.org/thanksgiving2014 . Despite all of the wealth in Manhattan, there are still people who fall through the cracks of the social welfare network.

I finally woke up at 2 P.M., and I chatted with a relative. 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.

The Seiki TV in the kitchen has not worked properly, since I returned from Maine. I disconnected it, and I tried the Sceptre 23 inch LED television from the living room, and it still did not work properly, so it obviously was a problem with the 50 foot coaxial cable from the splitter by the stereo system in the living room. I did not have a replacement for it, and it would be difficult to remove, since certain items have been placed on it along its path. So I coiled it up a short length, and I put it by the floor of the white bookcase at the kitchen entrance. I then got a spare 25 foot coaxial cable, and I disconnected the FIC server TV card cable from the splitter to the right of the primary computer keyboard, and I ran the 25 foot coaxial cable from there into the kitchen, and I left the 23 inch Sceptre LED television in the kitchen. It has three HDMI port, so I did not need to use the HDMI switch to connect the Roku wireless player and the Sony Player. It all works just fine, and the kitchen TV is now clear as a bell. Of course, it only plays what is playing on the living room cable box. I moved the 20 inch Seiki LED TV to where the Sceptre TV had been in the living room in front of the stereo system connected to the coaxial cable TV box. It also is connected to the bedroom Cable Box via HDMI cable, but for that to work, the power control center in the bedroom has to be turned along with the HDMI switch box, so technically from the living room Ethan Allen recliner location, one can watch two different television channels off the two different televisions. I threw out the garbage, and I picked up two of the new telephone books at the building entrance. CIO <888> 09/24/14 Wednesday 11:20 P.M.

CIO <888> 09/24/14 Wednesday 8:15 P.M. I put away the clean laundry. In the old days, not only did the Roosevelts live on East 65th Street, the Pierre Hotel owned by J. Paul Getty was there as was David Rockefeller's town house and Nelson Rockefeller's apartment nearby, as was the Warburg family town house, and the Russian consulate and Richard Nixon's town house. Thus if one explores East 65th street in nearby Manhattan, there are probably still some wealthy people there. However, east 70th street also has its attractions.

I installed the touch screen Hannspree monitor on the left side of the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner with the 23 inch Acer LCD monitor on the right side. It installed the drivers plug and play, and the touch screen works just fine. One installs the audio input from the sound card speaker jack into the audio input on the monitor and then the external speakers from the speaker jack on the monitor, so there are both external speakers and monitor speakers. I moved the AOC 23 inch LED monitor to the IBM ThinkCentre on the dining table. I moved the 19 inch Acer LCD monitor from there to the Abit computer.

I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road. There is a moderate size yacht at the Delamar called the "Silver Shalis" http://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-24696/silver-shalis.htm , so the waterfront still has a bit of POSH. The new houses across from 600 Steamboat Road seem to be coming along. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a 12 ounce generic honey for $2.50, bananas for .69 a pound for .99, four reduced produce tomatoes for $2.23, two russet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.60, and a rotisserie turkey breast for $5.99 a pound for $8.99 less a dollar off coupon for $15.31 total.

CIO <888> 09/22/14 Monday 7:50 P.M. I woke up at 7:30 P.M.. My computer worldwide internet office at home seems to be running just fine, but not many people communicate, because I tend to be a private individual who does not have much common with other people. Other than a few old friends on Facebook, I have not heard from anyone in my 24 years of computer activity, so I guess there is no interest in "Has Beens" from Manhattan, not that I was ever popular, when I used to explore the nearby Big City. I guess since I have a Northern European look, most people do not like seeing people with my look in Manhattan, although there are other people with Northern European looks that go there and seem to earn money, but I guess they had money to work with to begin with. Possibly it is because I am a Senior Citizen, and the younger generation does not like seeing old people around unless they are spending wampum. CIO <888> 09/22/14 Monday 4:35 P.M. I ate two ounces of wabasi and soy almonds. I chatted with neighbors. I checked the oil on the Volvo wagon, and I put in a third of a quart of Shell 5W-30 oil.

Although my internet strategy is not to exciting, the way I figure it, big spending New Yorkers might come out on the train from the Big City and walk up Greenwich Avenue and west on West Putnam Avenue, and they will see some of the most expensive cars in the world for sale in our neighborhood, so maybe they might invest in horseless carriages to keep the local Greenwich economy thriving. Then they can explore all of the other scenic places in New England, where people lead ordinary lives. Of course it can cost thousands of dollars a month for a garage space in nearby Manhattan.

Traditionally in Greenwich, Connecticut; Sundays are a day of rest. There is really no need to exercise walk on Greenwich Avenue, when a little bit of at home well needed rest might be useful. Of course the week day working population usually has errands to do. Some people still go to church, and then go home to a big Sunday dinner. I suppose this time of year, some people are still at the beach, tennis court, golf course or out sailing. The wealthier people seem to like to keep active as opposed to resting, so anything could be happening in this neck of the woods. I suppose some people might still be gardening around their homes too. CIO <888> 09/21/14 Sunday 1:50 P.M. I woke up at noon. 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. The Service Light came on the Volvo wagon. It supposedly was serviced at 105000 mile, and I got it at 107000 miles a year ago, and it currently has almost 110000 miles, so possibly it needs it oil changed in the next month or two. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 09/21/14 <888> 09/21/14 Sunday 2:35 A.M. I watched off the www.pbs.org Roku device channel episode 7 of "The Roosevelts" a very old New York Dutch family. I ate a Kaiser roll. One does not see many Holland Dutch people around here anymore. I have been told quite a few of them are still living in New York State up the Hudson River Valley somewhere north of us. I did see some people whom looked like they were Dutch walking around this past Friday, but maybe it was my imagination. Of course in February 1992 before the Albertville, France Winter Olympics, I spent four days in Amsterdam with a Dutch American friend, and since I tend to blend in with the Dutch nobody noticed me there. It is very cold and damp in the Netherlands on the east side of the North Sea with all of the damp moisture blowing across the Atlantic Ocean their way. I suppose since the Netherlands is not a very large country with a small population, the few Dutch people that seem to travel are pretty much lost in the larger crowd of humanity. I ate the last four ounces of dry roasted peanuts and a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale. I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then shut down the primary work computer, and I guess I will go to bed for the night. Greenwich, Connecticut has always been a quiet peaceful family town without much happening out of the ordinary. CIO <888> 09/20/14 Saturday 10:30 P.M. I took the 14 ounce piece of Cod, and I rinsed it underneath cold water. I then put it with tail end folded in a 12 inch diameter Pyrex pie dish. I poured about a quarter of a cup of Borden's lemon juice over it. I then seasoned it with a few dashes of Angostura Bitters, Old Bay Seasoning, celery salt, Oliva spread and 11002 dried oregano. I then put it in the Farberware convection oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. I put it on a dinner plate with some of the juices on top of it. I ate it with a baked potato and steamed baby carrots with Oleva spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables, a Kaiser roll with Oleva spread, and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale, and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. CIO <888> 09/20/14 Saturday 8:40 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I chatted with regulars.

I bought wild caught previously frozen filet of cod for $4.99 a pound for $4.09, a 5 ounce bag of Texas Toast seasoned croutons for $1.22, two sweet potatoes for $1.29 a pound for $1.46, and a Bermuda red onion for $1.99 a pound for $1.29 for $8.09 total. While I was exiting the store on the south side by the handicap parking a large 12 foot long 5 inch diameter rotten tree limb fell off a tree on to the parking lot making a very loud noise. There was no car parked where it fell, and nobody was underneath it. I told the store checker about it, and he cleaned up the mess. The person behind me in line was parked two parking places to the east of the fallen tree limb. I then returned home. I chatted with a neighbor. I picked up the mail. I put away my groceries. I chatted with a relative. My EBT food stamps have been raised from $164 a month to $174 a month for a net $10 increase in income. CIO <888> 09/20/14 Saturday 4:05 P.M.

They sent me several small gifts including a Native American Indian good luck charm. I got it out of the package, and I hung it on the left side on the inside of my apartment entrance door. I donated $5 to them in memory of my long diseased father Louis Dale Scott who passed away in January 1989. I watched episode 6 of "The Roosevelts". I ate a Kaiser roll.

It was sort of strange, since the individual was wearing a dark navy sweater that said J.P. Morgan. I chatted with a well dressed retired Marine in a blue blazer going to dinner. After I finished my walk, and I sat for a while. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with one staff member, and I toured the lower floor. They were having a Comedy event there in the auditorium this evening. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a 12 ounce generic honey for $2.50, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.88, bananas for .69 a pound for $1.79, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.49, buy one get one free of 8 ounce Perdue Italian short cuts of cooked chicken for $5.99 both, two 18.5 ounce Stouffer's meat lasagnas for $3 each, a six pack of Kaiser rolls for .99 each, buy one get one free of six packs of Thomas's honey wheat English muffins for $4.29 both, a four piece cooked chicken tenders for $2.04 for $28.97 total. I then returned home. They have put a large dark green and gold letter sign on Western Junior High saying that Vinci Drive is Equal Housing Opportunity. I then put away my groceries. I chatted with a relative. I ate two handfuls of dry roasted peanuts. CIO <888> 09/19/14 Friday 3:50 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors about the price of tea in China. I will now dress up a bit more warmly, and then I will go out for a great adventure on Greenwich Avenue to watch all of the week day office workers return from their toils in nearby Manhattan. CIO <888> 09/19/14 Friday 2:40 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. I am installing the Windows XP updates on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer. The restored backup seems to work a lot better. CIO <888> 09/19/14 Friday 2:05 P.M. I chatted with a relative. When I was in Kennebunkport, Maine for a month, during the first week, the Outlook email program on the Windows XP partition on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop got messed up and would not work properly. I am now restoring the Paragon backup of that partition to fix the problem. CIO <888> 09/19/14 Friday 12:35 P.M. I woke up at 11 A.M..

I seemed to have caught up on 11005 most of my routines after returning home this past Sunday, so maybe later on today, when I finally wake up, I might venture out for a walk on Green Witch Avenue.

I made my bed. I installed the Windows Updates before going to bed this morning, but for some reason FTP would not work in Internet Explorer 11. I did a System Restore restore from before the Windows Updates were installed, and then I installed all of the Windows Updates except the two Internet Explorer 11 Updates, and now FTP from Internet Explorer 11 works. I chatted with a relative. Norton Internet Security 2014 would not work, and when from Add and Remove programs for Norton Internet Security, it checked the installation, it prompted me to download a program to uninstall it and after rebooting, it sent me to the Norton web site to reinstall Norton Internet Security 2014. Thus the entire system seems to be working again. I am not sure why the Windows Updates for Internet Explorer 11 caused FTP to quit working, but that might be a problem the tech press has not covered. I will now shower and clean up.

I chatted with a relative. I watched the third episode on PBS on the series on the Roosevelt family. There are suppose to be a lot of Roosevelt family members in this country after all of the years here. I ate a Jamaican Jerk rotisserie 11009 chicken leg, thigh, two wings, and two 1/4 inch thick slices of breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, a baked potato and steamed baby carrots with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables, a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale, and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. The baby carrots are now smaller, so one does not have to cut them into quarters lengthwise. On the medium large baked potato that I paid a dollar apiece for, I scrubbed it underneath cold water with a potato brush, and then I poked a fork into it about a dozen times all around. I microwaved it for seven minutes in the microwave oven, since it was larger. On the matter of Scottish separation from England coming from a Scottish American exile family for 290 years, I am not sure how it will effect the Scott family in America. I suppose with the Scottish being part of England for 300 years, it has made it possible for the British with their large trade network to export a lot of Scotch whisky around the world. Thus without the British, there might be more Scotch whisky left in Scotland for the locals to enjoy instead of sending out all around the world. Not many people from Scotland have ever networked with me, since I am also half Dutch American, since my mother is 100% Dutch American. Of course Western Europe with a half billion people which geographically is not too large of an area, I imagine over the years, a lot of the Europeans have moved around between countries, and not bothered to cross the Atlantic Ocean in this direction.

The Roosevelt family is apparently from Manhattan, but they advertise their summer homes in Oyster Bay, Long Island http://www.nps.gov/sahi/index.htm and Hyde Park, New York http://www.nps.gov/hofr/index.htm . When the Bank of New York bought Putnam Trust here in Greenwich, I happened to have recently bought a book for $10 at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop on the 150th anniversary of the Bank of New York. I gave it to the head office at Putnam Trust. In the book written about 1927, it said that although the Bank of New York was started by Alexander Hamilton, it was with Elihu Roosevelt's money. Thus the Roosevelt's probably had a bit of money. I also have read that they were invested in coal mines in upstate New York and Steam Ships on the Ohio River. They also have a lot of pictures of old clipper ships in the Living Room at Hyde Park, so they were probably invested in the shipping business also. I once read that the original Roosevelt in this country was a pirate in hid out in upstate New York as a dairy farmer. Franklin Roosevelt use to list his profession as a apple farmer. Their houses in Hyde Park and Oyster Bay are near another prominent Dutch family called the Vanderbilt's, so they might have had business connections together. I once toured Sagamore Hill, when I was living in Port Washington, Long Island around 1979. I also toured Hyde Park about 25 years ago. Franklin and Eleanor's grave is there underneath a large piece of white Vermont marble. Helen Kress Williams was a neighbor in Oyster Bay, 11012 and she knew Alice Blue Gown. Professor Hanke at www.lfc.edu used to lecture on Teddie Roosevelt all of the time. I took two of his courses. I ate six ounces of mixed nuts and three slices of provolone cheese. CIO <888> 09/15/14 Monday 7:55 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 09/15/14 Monday 7:05 P.M. I sorted through all of the back mail. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.

CIO <888> 09/15/14 Monday 6:00 P.M. I reheated and ate the chicken and vegetable dinner with 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale. I threw out the garbage. I moved the Volvo wagon to its usual place. I chatted with neighbors. I chatted with a friend. CIO <888> 09/15/14 Monday 4:00 P.M. I chatted with neighbors. I threw out the garbage. I went by the Valley Road Post Office, and I picked up the last four weeks of mail that I had on hold. I went by the www.chase.com bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue. The new Chase Bank on the west side of the Greenwich Library that will open in November 2014 has its glass outside curtain wall being installed. I went by the Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place, and I paid my rent to the Greenwich Housing Authority. I then 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, but I lost. I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center. I chatted with a couple of local people. I stopped by CVS. I got my flu shot for this season. I picked up two prescriptions.

I chatted with a relative. I used the blood pressure machine. My Systolic Pressure is 141. My Diastollic Pressure is 72, and my pulse rate is 82. I finished my walk. There is a new juice store going in on the south side of the Apple computer store, and the juice store on the north side of the People's Bank at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue is now opened.

There is no point in going downtown to Greenwich Avenue to face the West Coast mafia, when I have a large network of friends on the East Coast whom seem to take care of business in their own simple ways. The most dynamic thing happening around here is that this Saturday the new www.chase.com bank is opening on west side of the Greenwich Library, where the old www.exxon.com gasoline station used to be. It is a mostly a glass building and as someone once said, "People Whom Live in Glass Houses, Should Not Throw Stones". Of course there are some other banks in Greenwich that the general public does not seem to pay much attention to. Thus Greenwich, Connecticut is a minor financial hub which seems to 11027 survive despite the turmoil from the nearby Manhattan Indians and the Stamford Financial Center that is suppose to be the world's fourth largest financial center. Still with all of the financial activity in this area, none of the Wampum seems to come my way after 31 years having returned from a summer out in www.nantucket.net , where life is simpler where people manage to survive off clam shells. I guess the West Coast types when they travel east forget about all of the land locked people in between both coasts whom have their own perspective and networks. Up in North Salem, New York where a lot of the rich liberals live, they only seem to pick apples this time of year, but if one can afford the taxes I guess it is more private up there. There is not much of a downtown area in South Salem, New York except for a deli and antique store. In the more remote area of New Canaan, Connecticut, one sees a lot more younger people because the high school is on the main road into town. Ridgefield, Connecticut is less expensive than Greenwich, but it is a lot more remote. Wilton, Connecticut is on the busy Route 7, so a lot of people might be out in the woods around there. Of course Greenwich, Connecticut has a very good local hospital which as one gets older is more important. I think as of November 1, anyone can venture out to Tod's Point in Old Greenwich without a beach pass, and one can bring dogs, but one has to clean up after them. Of course living on the border with New York, one frequently can find shopping in nearby Port Chester, New York more convenient than exploring the wilderness of Connecticut. Nearby www.costco.com in Port Chester, New York seems to attract a lot of the back country Greenwich people whom have room to stock up on supplies unlike apartment people. CIO <888> 10/30/14 Thursday 2:55 P.M. I woke up at 1:30 P.M..

About 11 P.M. this past evening, I quit charging the three jump start systems and the 2 million watt rechargeable lantern. I have not been out much at night in the cold recently, so I have not been gradually getting use to it, like I used to. Still I have plenty of winter clothes for when it gets colder. I do not drive in the snow though, since although I am good at driving in snow, I am not so sure about the other drivers, particularly those from further down south. It does not usually get severely cold here until the first week of December, which I can recall about five years ago, it was zero degrees Fahrenheit during the first week of December. Still if one keeps busy at home, one can get use to spending more time inside in one's old age. In an emergency I still have two www.army.mil sleeping bags good to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit in case we ever lose heat in this building for an extended time. However, if that ever happened the pipes would probably freeze, so we probably would not be too comfortable living here in those 11028 conditions. Still it does not hurt to be prepared for an emergency during winter weather conditions, although I do not seem to get out as much in the cold weather anymore. I noticed the younger people are still walking around in summer clothes, so they are used to colder conditions.

I have a little bit of work to do around the apartment, so I will probably be staying at home today. I think the general public is bored of seeing me downtown so much of the time, so I will continue to work in my home office, where I manage to keep busy. After all of the years downtown, none of the business or other types in the community want to network with me, so I guess they have another focus in terms of their viewpoint of Greenwich versus my 50 plus years of experience. Of course downtown Greenwich Avenue is only a small part of the local 11030 community. However, if one had a bit of money one could drive up to Bedford, New York and loiter on the Bedford town green where not much ever seems to be happening. In the old days, when my family could afford to live in back country Greenwich, most of my friends were from Bedford, New York; so possibly a few of them still live there in remote wilderness of Bedford, where they still have gravel and dirt roads. I once read that John Jay's mother was a member of the Scott family. CIO <888> 10/29/14 Wednesday 8:50 A.M. I woke up at 7:45 A.M..

CIO <888> 10/27/14 Monday 7:35 P.M. I woke up at 4 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. I made my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the garbage. I picked up the mail. The MacGray card machine down in the laundry room is still not fixed. I did a Aomei backup of the primary work computer to the Rosewell 1 TB external hard drive. I chatted with a relative. I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 10/27/14 Monday 8:35 A.M. I ate five ounces of Wabasi and soy almonds. I finished configuring the Asus Netbook for now, and I did a Aomei backup of it to the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive. I will now go to bed. CIO <888> 10/27/14 Monday 6:30 A.M. I did not go to bed yet. On the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the Asus Netbook Ecc 1018p, the apps finished installing, but would not open because the screen resolution was too low. I found this fix https://usefulwindows.com/2012/10/fix-for-the-screen-resolution-is-too-low-for-this-app-torun/ for the problem, and they now open just fine. Also Optimum TV program for laptops now works on it, so that was the problem with it and not Silver Light. CIO <888> 10/27/14 Monday 3:30 A.M.

I will work on installing the apps on the Asus Netbook Windows 10 Technical Release partition. It is rather amusing 11033 that with www.ibm.com nearby, there do not seem to be many computer people in the area that wish to communicate. I guess they are intimidated by my family connection with http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/ which since I don't know UNIX, and it is probably too cold for me to ever try to live out there in the corn belt, I am left picking up the pieces around www.ibm.com . Even if I could ever afford to build a http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/8.12/beowulf.html , I would not know how to use Linux let along how to use it or have need for it. With today's parts, it is probably only a couple of hundred dollars, but what would I do with it. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 10:30 P.M. I have new medium blue wash cloth in the colored laundry, and it was not there when I folded the laundry. I went back down to the laundry to look for it, but it was not there. Possibly it is folded up in my clothes. I moved the Volvo wagon to its usual place. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 10:00 P.M. $69.99 with free shipping Dell™ C1660W Wireless Color Laser Printer , four toner replacement cartridges are probably expensive over $200. Mission accomplished. I put away the clean laundry. I bumped into the omelet pan hanging from the rack hook in the kitchen at eye level, and it flipped off the hook and hit me in the left eye. Hopefully I will not get swelling or a black eye. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 8:25 P.M. I have 45 minutes to go on two dry cycles. I have $15.50 left on my MacGray laundry card. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 8:00 P.M. I started two loads of wash laundry, and I have about 15 minutes to go on the wash cycles. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 7:10 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown, and I went by Agnew Morley public housing on Milbank Avenue, and two tenants let me in, and I put $20 on my MacGray laundry card for $21 total. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I stopped by CVS. I bought a 16 double roll bundle of Charmin extra strong toilet paper for $9.99 and .63 tax for $10.62. I then bought a 27.8 ounce Folgers's Columbian coffee for $8.99. When using EBT food stamps now, they have changed the system, and one now has to enter the long food stamp EBT card number. After I finished my walk, I went by the A&P Fresh. I bought two 18 ounce Marie Calendar five cheese lasagna for $3 each, two 19.8 ounce Tombstone 5 cheese pizzas for $2.75 each, a 16 ounce potato salad for $2.87 and 45 cents can return for $13.92 total. I then returned home, and I put away my groceries. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 3:35 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go downtown for a breath of fresh air. CIO <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 2:40 P.M. I woke up at 1:30 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% 11034 punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 10/26/14 <888> 10/26/14 Sunday 6:55 A.M. I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on a second partition on the Asus Netbook. I also configured it. This time, when I installed it, it installed a list of apps that I have on the other computers, but I still have to install them. It runs just fine. I ate two ounces of mixed nuts. I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 11:55 P.M. I checked outside, and I checked around the building, and I chatted with a neighbor. It seems pretty normal for around here. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 10:50 P.M. I finished the system backups for now. I took four large eggs, expire November 8, 2014, and I broke them into a mixing bowl, and I added two tablespoons of milk, and seasoned the mixture with celery salt and oregano and grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and I whisked the mixture together. I then took my seasoned omelet pan, and I added two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of Smart Balance spread, and I heated the pan over medium electric burner heat until the fat bubbled, and then I added the egg mixture. Once the eggs mixture was hardened enough on the bottom, I flipped it over with a spatula to let the top side of the egg mixture cook, and I put three deli slices of ham and three deli slices of American cheese on one side of the top side, and I flipped the other side over it, and I slid it onto a dinner plate with a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread on it, and I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 8:00 P.M. I am doing a Complete PC backup of the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom to the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive. I chatted with a relative. I will next do a Aomei backup of the Asus netbook, since the Complete PC backup restore process does not work on that device. When one has a home network computers, it is a lot of routine work. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 6:55 P.M. I ate 6 ounces of mixed nuts. I am almost finished with the backup of the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 6:25 P.M. I went outside, and I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. The Greenwich Housing Authority is raising the bill on our apartments $27 a month to meet increased costs of maintenance. I finished backing up the IBM ThinkCentre in front of mahogany bureau. I am not backing up the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. I tested the WinPC restore CD that Aomei backup program makes, and it boots just fine and recognizes the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive, but I have not tested a restored backup to see if it actually works. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 4:00 P.M. I put the large install of the Aomei backup utility on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining 11035 table, and I am now backing up the system to the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive. I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor. The mail just now is being delivered. I will next back up the entire system on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau, and then I will back up the entire system on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ethan Allen recliner. I also have to make a couple of the Linux restore disks from the Aomei backup programs. I will not test the restore process, since I do not want to alter my current configurations, unless I should have major malfunctions. The first thing the old timers in computers teach young computer people is "Backup, Backup, Backup". The second thing they teach you is "GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out". Of course our neighbors over at www.ibm.com might do things differently, but that is none of my business.

I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. It appears the Mac Gray laundry card machine is still not fixed, because nobody is using the laundry room. I could try to gain access to the Agnew Morley laundry room to charge up my card or go to the Cos Cob laundry and do laundry, but I have plenty of clean laundry, and on a busy Saturday afternoon, I prefer to relax and stay home and work on my home office computer network as opposed to facing the hoards of weekend shoppers downtown on Greenwich Avenue who have a different focus. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 12:25 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. I guess at age 64, I am out of touch with the younger generation. However at my advanced age, I am still in touch with a few members of the older generation who lead simple lives of retirement. CIO <888> 10/25/14 Saturday 11:35 A.M. I woke up, and I ate three ounces of mixed nuts. I finally woke up at 10 A.M..

Also I think there is a Grey Hound bus terminal in Coral Gables, Florida that might be closer to the Miami airport, and there might be local bus service between the airport and the bus terminal. Of course, once one is down there, one might not survive unless one has money to live off in a very expensive resort which used to be full of homeless types in less prosperous economic times. Of course Pan American Airlines started its original flight network by flying from Key West to Havana, so between the United States Navy pilots and the Pan American Airline pilots, there used to be a lot of flight personnel in Cayo Hueso. CIO <888> 10/24/14 Friday 11:50 P.M. I braved the local cool tundra of the area, and I drove over to the Stop and Shop. I bought a 59 ounce clear plastic bottle of Tropicana orange juice with calcium for $3, a 42 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.59, a honey roasted rotisseries chicken for $4.50, fresh bananas for .49 a pound for $1.19, three sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $2.11 for $15.39 total. They also gave me a four pack of cappuccino muffins for free to replace the blueberry muffins they did not put in my bag this past Monday. I then drove over to CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought two 17.5 ounce lightly salted deluxe mixed nuts for $6.88 each and a dollar off CVS machine coupon for $12.76 total. I then sat outside further downtown observing the slow evening. It was not very busy downtown for a Friday evening. I used the bathroom at Starbucks, and I chatted with two locals. As usual, I have a different focus than the locals, so they do not usually comprehend whatever I am chatting about. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $10.01 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $4.079 a gallon for 2.453 gallons at odometer reading of 109803 miles for 25.8 miles driving since Friday October 10, 2014 for 10.518 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.

I took out the old video card from the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I used the Scotch tape method covering on the long slot all of the pin except the 7 pin places on the left of the long slot with the connectors on the left. A place is also a blank. It works just fine, and I installed the latest Nvidia drivers on both partitions. The Windows 8 drivers work just fine with the Windows 10 Technical Preview.

CIO <888> 10/24/14 Friday 2:15 P.M. I sat outside briefly. I said "Hello" to a neighbor. There is a small pile of snow by the Zamboni door at the ice skating rink, so it might be opened for the season. I checked the MacGray laundry card machine, and it still is not working. CIO <888> 10/24/14 Friday 1:45 P.M. I did a second Complete PC backup of the FIC server to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I threw out the garbage. It is pretty slow around here. CIO <888> 10/24/14 Friday 12:25 P.M. I finished installing the Windows Updates on the FIC server. I am now doing a Complete PC backup of the FIC server to the second internal hard drive. The new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive is the second internal hard drive. The primary hard drive is a Seagate 160 GB IDE hard drive less than two years old. One of the reasons for installing the same SATA hard drive instead of a larger one is that if I tried to restore on of my several Complete PC backups, for the restore to work, the second hard drive has to be the same size and possibly the same one, even if the restore is coming from an external hard drive. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 10/24/14 Friday 11:15 A.M.

CIO <888> 10/24/14 Friday 1:40 A.M. After the last note, I put the new Seagate SATA drive in the Orico USB SATA drive holder, and I connected it to the USB server, but it was not recognized. I then tried the same thing with the Rosewell USB SATA Drive holder, and it was not recognized. I then opened up the FIC server, and I took out the Seagate 320 GB SATA drive, and I put it in the new Orico USB SATA drive holder, and I put my new identical Seagate 320 GB SATA drive in the Rosewell USB SATA drive holder, and I connected them both to the primary work computer. Over the next eight hours, I copied all of the files from the old Seagate drive to the new Seagate Drive. While doing that I took out the four old Antec LED case fans from the FIC server which were quite dirty and I threw them away. I cleaned the case fan enclosures and the space between the front of the metal case and its front plastic cover. There was quite a lot of dark crud build up. In fact the front fan case openings were completely blocked. I also cleaned the CPU cooler cooper vents. It has a fairly new CPU cooler fan. I used compressed air to clean out the lose crud from inside the FIC CPU case, and I even turned it upside down and shook it to remove any additional debris. I installed four generic blue LED 80 MM case fans. I also replaced the 2032 CMOS battery with a new one. I tested the setup, but on restoring the bios defaults and testing them, it took me about three hours to remember I have to set the memory to 133 MHz instead of the default 166 Mhz. I also had to set it to AGP video and a few other minor settings. While waiting for the files to copy to the new hard drive., I chatted with two relatives. I also went downstairs, and I picked up my mail, and the MacGray card machine is still not fixed. I ate a ham and American cheese sandwich on toasted 15 grain bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and a Lays low sodium potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda. Once the files were copied to the new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive, I installed it into the FIC server, but it was not recognized. I then noticed on the old identical Seagate hard drive, there was a 1/8th inch square twin pin dip pin that I took off the old drive, and I put on the new drive on the right two pins. Then the new Seagate 320 GB SATA drive was recognized, and the FIC system works just fine as before. I closed up the case, and I used my Black and Decker dust buster to clean up the lose crud that I generated in my work. I had to solder one of the small wires on the small red LED light switch that I accidentally broke off while working on the system. Still the FIC Server is up and running just fine. The old Seagate drive that I took out had been installed and running continuously for eight years, so I would say it is pretty good hard drive to replace it with the same new one. The case fans were about six years old. Since I have new case fans in the FIC server, and since it also was cleaned of the crud, it should run cooler, and also it no longer makes any noise. CIO 11040 <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:35 P.M. I bought two https://www.tanga.com/deals/umbrellasblowout-fp?utm_source=cj&utm_campaign=BensBargains.net for $8.99 each less $8.99 with coupon code "UMBRELLA" for $8.99 with free shipping and $1.14 tax for $10.13 total.

CIO <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:35 P.M. I saw on Fox Business news, the cheapest gasoline in the country is $2.49 a gallon for regular self service gasoline at the Busy Bee gasoline station in Houston, Texas; if one pays cash. Mean while at the local gasoline stations, it is quite a bit more expensive http://util.automobilemag.com/31/connecticut/fairfield/greenwich/gas_prices.html in this neck of the woods. Thus I prefer to continue to work out of my home office than observing people downtown on Greenwich Avenue who do not share my point of view or economic experience. CIO <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:25 P.M. I called up the Greenwich Housing Authority http://greenwichhousing.org/ at 1-203-869-1138 to tell them the MacGray laundry card machine at 71 Vinci Drive is not working. They told me it is the correct procedure to call up MacGray. I could go to the Cos Cob Laundromat to do laundry, but driving that far east in town is not part of my normal routine, and I might be tempted to spend money at the Radio Shack next door, which I can ill afford. The rich daytime people do not like seeing the very poor night time people, when they infrequently come out in the daytime, and on a daytime schedule, they tend to treat me like a foreign visitor, although I have lived here since June of 1962. Most people in Greenwich do not have the vast experience of living elsewhere that I have, so they tend to be programmed on their local experiences in the local community and what they read in the local paper www.greenwichtime.com and what they see on the local television depending on what television services they can afford. In other words, they do not all share the same viewpoint by any stretch of the imagination. CIO <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:00 P.M. I went ahead and renewed NASA magazine, when they called a second time. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I said "Hello" to neighbors. They are still working on installing the freight elevator. The MacGray card machine still does not work. I still have plenty of clean laundry, so there is no rush. I watered the plants. CIO <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 10:55 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 called http://www.macgray.com/ at 1-800-MAC-GRAY and reported the card machine in the laundry downstairs does not work. In the old days, Ronnie who used to work at Partridge and Rockwell claimed he was the Maytag repairman in Greenwich, but I have not seen him around in quite a while. CIO <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:35 A.M. Earlier this evening, I tried using the MacGray card machine a second time, but it still would not recharge my card. When I tried to buy a new card, it says the machine needs to be serviced. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat eight ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will then go to bed. I guess I will have to see if the MacGray card machine works later on today. I think if I am on a later schedule, it might be to risky for an older person like myself to go to the Cos Cob Laundromat in the early evening to do laundry. That part of town has a lot of younger people whom can be very mischievous. CIO <888> 10/23/14 Thursday 12:55 A.M.

The front entry way is blocked, because the elevator people have taken down some of the construction barrier plywood in the front lobby for installing the new freight elevator. I said hello to the elevator people. Apparently there is some sort of basement area underneath the main part of the building, so the custodian is going to use it for storing some of his work equipment. This public housing project at 71 Vinci Drive for elderly and disabled people was built during the Reagan Republican administration. During the H.W. Bush administration, we had more disposable income. During the Clinton administration, they cut back on our disposable income, but I think they replaced the slate roof with an asphalt shingle roof. During the W. Bush administration, they put in new double pane windows. During the Obama administration, they put in insulation in the ceilings and now the freight elevator. It would be nice if they gave us more disposable income. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 9:25 A.M. I woke up at 8 A.M..

Apparently, the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table had gone off line, and when I rebooted it the remaining 11 Windows 10 apps installed quickly. I thus have it all configured. I will open and configure the apps on the two IBM ThinkCentres with Windows 10 partitions at a later date. CIO <888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 1:25 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I finished installing the additional apps on the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. They installed real fast unlike the apps on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I still have 10 apps to install on it. I can not figure out why it takes so much longer on that machine.

On the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, over night it installed most of the 140 apps that I had selected. It still have 26 apps to install automatically. I think the Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 App server is too slow in the New York City area. It might be faster in Redmond, 11045 Washington, but here the apps download take a while. 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.

The new German elevator has arrived. When I opened up the grocery bag, only the sweet potatoes were there, and the blueberry muffins were missing. I will have to pick them up tomorrow.

I was told by two local police officers in Greenwich that the new police cars in service have the Belgium license plate scanning system, where they can scan fifty thousand license plates an hour and compare them to a data base to see if anything is out of order. It would be interesting to know, if the same system would know if one's automobile insurance had expired or not besides matters like registration and emissions and ownership of the vehicle. Of course in nearby Manhattan, they have five thousand cameras in Midtown connected to a Microsoft security system to observe the general public moving around town.

I ate 6 ounces of mixed nuts. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 12:55 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.chase.com bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue. I told one of their officers I had seen on Bloomberg News yesterday that there are 450 banks in the Midwest on the verge of insolvency. I then went downtown to Greenwich Avenue. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. It was pretty much a normal Saturday morning. I chatted with a few local seniors. I watched the Greenwich High School home coming parade which was very festive and colorful. I then returned home to the tranquil setting of Chateau De Vinci. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 8:15 A.M. The http://www.fpcg.org/ is still looking for a new full time minister. When I lived in Decatur, Alabama, I became a member of the First Presbyterian Church there. However, when we moved to Greenwich, Connecticut in 1962 and lived in back country off Round Hill Road, we went to our local church http://www.roundhillcommunitychurch.org/ which was Episcopal. When I went to the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, I did not go to the school church service very often, but instead I went to the Episcopal Church 7 A.M. Communion Service on the Green. When I went to www.lfc.edu it was a Presbyterian College. When I returned back east I knew a lot of church people, but I never got a decent job, so I mostly was on a night schedule observing the world go by, and I never bother going to church, since I usually was not awake on Sunday morning. When I lived in www.nantucket.net I learned the Quakers out there were originally Presbyterian, but when they learned the Quaker religion did not have a minister they would have to pay, they became Quakers. When I was briefly in Key West, Florida in the mid 1970s, they thought I was an Episcopal priest, since I was one of the few people that spoke English. Thus religion in America is a mixed bag of things depending on where one lives and what one's income is. Since my mother's family is from Holland, Michigan where the Dutch Reform Church is also very active, I happen to have a lot of relatives involved in the Dutch Reform Church. The Scott family in Champaign, Illinois I was once told were either Methodist or Baptist, depending on which relative one talked to. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:15 A.M. I got a little bit of business advise for the local business community last night. Since the Rockefeller family became a very private family over 30 years ago withdrawing from the public eye, not much is known about them except a report about 20 years ago that they were raising Swiss Dairy Cows at their farm in North Tarrytown, New York; so they can write off the property taxes on their farm as a working 11049 farm which means lower property taxes. Since they probably have good quality milk, it was suggested that they start making cheese to increase the farm's revenue. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:00 A.M. I woke up at 6 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 chatted with neighbors. One neighbor still needs me when I have to the time to check out his computer wireless connection and his living room air television connection. I just recently have not had much free daytime time, since I have been on a night schedule. I went to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. I even wore my light green summer weight suede sports jacket that I got as a clearance item from Joseph Banks for $20 with free shipping a few years ago. Of course at size 48 regular, it is a bit tight. I recently have been wearing a 50 regular. I have two blue blazers that I think are 50 regular. I also have a nice size 48 regular Orvis Harris Tweed Jacket. However, not many people wear sports jackets anymore, since the younger generation like to wear sports wear. After my appointment, I went by CVS. I had to wait a while to pick up two prescriptions. I chatted with a Canadian that had a house in Nantucket. I bought buy one get one free of CVS time release 60 capsule vitamin B-100 for $14.79 both and one of their last five packs with one mini Bic lighters for $7.29 with $1.83 off CVS coupon and $1.29 tax for $21.54 total. I then drove further downtown, and I stood out on a warm day chatting with another senior citizen who had a son driving out to Chicago. I then walked over to Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won a free card, and on the second card, I lost. I then sat out for a while longer. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.19, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $4.94, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey cured ham for $5.99 a pound for $6.23, two 9 ounce Wise Lightly salted potato chips for $2.50 each, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.25, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.45, and 30 cents can return for $21.76 total. I looked around for blue berry muffins, but they were all sold out, and at $4 a four pack, they are a bit expensive and probably fattening. I then returned home to Chateau De Vinci. I delivered a package to a neighbor. I picked up my mail. I finally got my Renter's Rebate check, but it is about $300 less this year at $411.90, which I guess will help pay for my www.geico.com automobile insurance, so Warren Buffet can get richer on a car that I can not afford to drive too far. I think in Connecticut, insurance companies like the one in California, should charge for the number of miles one drives instead of the fixed rate. I chatted with a relative. I put away my purchases. CIO 11050 <888> 10/17/14 Friday 12:25 P.M. I ate a 19 ounce Marie Callender 3 meat and 4 cheese lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite.

I was told that they have set up an Ebola containment facility at the Greenwich Hospital. I think the Shell Oil Tankers that arrive in nearby Bridgeport, Connecticut come from West Africa, so there 11051 might be some people from West Africa in that area.

On the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ethan Allen recliner, I cleaned the Microsoft wireless mouse and wireless keyboard the same way. I have read reports that a computer keyboard and mouse can be dirtier than a toilet seat. Maybe computer people should wear medical surgical sanitary gloves. On the Windows 8.1 partition, I installed the latest version of www.skype.com and the latest version of www.openoffice.org . I did not put Advanced System Care 7 on it, since I don't know if it is compatible with Windows 8.1. I am now installing the Windows Updates. Although I do not use it very much, the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ethan Allen recliner is my primary deluxe customer showroom demo hardware desktop piece of equipment in case as an Microsoft OEM which I am, I every get any interested people coming my way.

I cleaned the Epox Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, and I put a light blue hand towel cover on it. I also put a light blue hand towel cover on the Microsoft wireless keyboard on the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. Electronics because they can carry a light amount of static electricity on their surfaces can attract what I call electronic dust. Also at this hour of the day, a few apps I tried to install on the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the two Dell Latitude D410 laptop computers would not install.

In the old days, when New York City was bankrupt in the early 1970s after the stock market crash and the Arab oil embargo, I knew somebody that had a cheap ground floor apartment at 420 East 49th Street near the www.un.org , so I got to see a lot of the people in that neighborhood. I am told by a friend that since the United Nations is a diplomatic neutral zone, one is still allowed to smoke cigarettes there for better or worse. About the most famous person in that neighborhood at the time was John D. Rockefeller III who lived part time at One Beekman Place and the British Consulate to the United Nations also lived in the same building. However, I mostly ended up walking around in circles in that neighborhood, and the British Consulate building was nearby on Third Avenue. They had two Royal Blue Daimlers parked on East 49th street all of the time at a Diplomatic parking zone, and they hardly ever moved for lack of gasoline in the area. In February 1975, after I threw a big party in Manhattan, I quit visiting Manhattan, and stayed in Greenwich at my family's house, until later that summer, when I explored www.nantucket.net , which was more peaceful. I did live briefly again in Manhattan from November 1980 until February 1982 on West 74th Street with a friend whose husband was in the State Department. However, those were very cold winters after Mount St. Helen erupted, so once again it was mostly walking around in circles, but for part of the time, my roommate had a white German 11057 Shepard and a Doberman Pincher that I was also able to walk around in the neighborhood. CIO <888> 10/13/14 Monday 2:50 A.M. I chatted with a relative after the last note. I woke up and ate two ounces of mixed nuts. I finally woke up at 1:15 A.M..

I threw out the garbage. I went downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. The train station bathroom is locked on Sunday morning, but one can get a key. I used the very nice bathroom at the Belgium bakery. They have the foundation dug, where the old Thataway patio used to be. They are building another building there with apartments upstairs. I chatted with a single individual waiting outside the www.apple.com store waiting to buy his son whose birthday is in three days an Iphone 6. When one of the Apple employees showed up, they told him they are sold out. Apparently a lot of people have been buying them and selling them on Ebay to the Chinese where they are not available until a later date. I gave the potential customer one of my internet cards. I then used the bathroom at Starbucks. I chatted briefly with a foreign speaking individual, but I did not ask the individual, where he was from. I then headed up Greenwich Avenue to CVS. I bought two 8.75 ounce CVS Deluxe mixed nuts lightly salted without peanuts for $3.99 each can for $7.98 total. I then sat out briefly at the top of Greenwich Avenue. I then returned to CVS. I bought for 75% off a Philips Dual USB charging station for $6.74 and a Rayovac Floating lantern with battery for $6.99 less $7 CVS bonus bucks and .43 tax for $7.16 total. I used the bathroom at CVS. I then returned down Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while. I then went by Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I sat out for a while more enjoying the day. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a four pack of day old German chocolate muffins for $2, a 15 grain Pepperidge Farm loaf of bread for $3.99, two 15 ounce Chef Boyardee ravioli for a dollar each can, a 12 ounce bottle of Frank's original hot sauce for $2.79, a 12 ounce package of Perdue chicken cutlets for $2.39, a prepared rotisserie chicken dinner with two legs and two thighs and green beans for $1.99, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.49, bananas 11058 for .49 a pound for .50, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.45 and 65 cents can return for $18.95 total.

I will now dress up warmly to go for a walk downtown on the world famous Greenwich Avenue, and then I will put in some supplies at the Stop and Shop. More than likely nothing will be going on, since everyone is probably surfing the internet, when they wake up. CIO <888> 10/12/14 Sunday 6:05 A.M.

Those three televisions on the four coaxial gold splitter work just fine, if not better. I then took the two spare good gold coaxial splitters, and I hooked them up to the bedroom television setup, removing the two cheap coaxial two splitters. I put the two cheap coaxial gold splitters in the small top drawer of the night stand holding the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau, so now the bedroom televisions have clearer reception.

After I finished my walk, I sat out for a while. Somebody told me, I looked cold in my light blue shorts and light orange polo shirt. I told them by Midwestern standards, it was not cold. I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road. There appeared to be a couple of having sex outside of their truck down there, so I did not linger. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $9.00 of self service premium V-Power gasoline for $4.179 a gallon with a dime a gallon off with my Stop and Shop card for 2.153 gallons at odometer reading of 109777 miles for 28.7 miles driven since Tuesday September 23, 2014 for 13.333 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I chatted with one of the regular night people. I then returned home at 11:55 P.M.. I could see in the southeastern sky, a jet or missile or rocket contrail going northeast to southwest that was probably left five minutes before I arrived home. I put away my groceries. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 9:25 P.M. I will now go downtown for a brief spell. It is suppose to rain tomorrow night, so I might melt, if I went out then. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 9:05 P.M.

CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 8:05 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 7:40 P.M. On my Arris TM802 cable modem, I noticed that the Link Light was blinking orange instead of green. I called up Optimum at 1-203-348-9211, and they told me from Shelton, Connecticut it only blinks green, when one uses T1000 equipment for the router and switch, and I am only using older T100 equipment for the router and switch. I pay $65 a month for a T50 internet connection, so at www.speedguide.net , I get 54 gbps download and 38 gbps upload, which is fast enough for me for the work that I do. CIO 11062 <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 6:30 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. I made my bed. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:15 P.M. I ate five ounces of cashew nuts before going to bed. I woke up at 4 P.M.. I chatted with two friends.

I dusted a bit in the corner where the speakers are to the right side of the primary computer where the cable modem used to be, and I put the little brass Dutch equestrian statue at that location. I bought it for $17.50 many years ago at the Merry Go Round Mews Thrift Shop, when it was there, before their rent got to be too expensive. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:50 A.M. I risked life and limb, and I climbed up on the one square foot free space on the desk where the FIC server is, and I replaced the two light bulbs in the picture frame light with two 25 watt clear Sylvania torpedo light bulbs. The print is like one at the Frick Museum on Fifth Avenue and 70th Street http://www.frick.org/ and http://collections.frick.org/view/objects/asitem/items$0040:239 but smaller in a guilt frame. I bought it many years ago for ten dollars at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop on Sherwood Place. All Dutch people should have Rembrandt prints in their homes. When I was in Amsterdam before the Albertville Winter Olympics in February 1992, I toured https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/ , where they had brought together all of the famous Rembrandts paintings from around the world, and there were only about fifty older people there on a Sunday afternoon for the exhibit, but on the north side of town, I saw thousands of young people lined up for the American Automobile show at the indoor mall, despite the fact that the Dutch mostly ride bicycles. They do not seem to have heard about http://www.shell.nl/ . Now that they have a new King and Queen http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/ from a younger generation, they might be a little bit more modern, but Europeans are traditional, and they do not change their ways very quickly. Later on that same day, I went to a local pub, and I chatted with someone that looked like http://www.gatesnotes.com/ , and he told me he was not really rich. I thus assumed since the Boeing Club used to be in Amsterdam and his father was the head attorney for http://www.boeing.com/boeing/ , he was just using great wealth celebrity to buy flight insurance like Howard Hughes use to do. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:00 A.M. I ate six quarter inch thick slices of white rotisserie chicken breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. I chatted with Steve from Jacksonville at 11063 the http://casamarinaresort.com/ , and he said they are waiting for the snow birds to show up. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 3:45 A.M. I threw out the four inch thick stack of old laser printer waste paper that I had underneath the Minolta laser printer where I put the cable modem, and I kept a half inch stack on the shelf underneath that. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 3:05 A.M. The Cable Modem was connected with a four foot gold coaxial cable from a gold two splitter connected to the primary gold coaxial cable. I took them off, and I have cable modem connected to the direct coaxial cable, and I repositioned the cable modem underneath the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer. I connected up the FIC server coaxial cable and the primary computer Kworld coaxial cable to the gold splitter to the right side of the primary computer. I took off the RadioShack A B coaxial switch, and I stored it in the small top drawer of night stand of the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. I used the spare coaxial 2 gold splitter to connect the old repaired 50 foot coaxial cable to the two splitter in the living room beneath the stereo system along with new 50 foot coaxial cable. I have the old repaired 50 foot coaxial cable connected to the Panasonic 14 inch CRT television on the white bookcase on the right side of the kitchen entrance. I stored the white 25 coaxial cable and the two four foot gold coaxial cables underneath the right side of the bed in the bedroom. Both televisions on the two foot foot cables are clear as a bell. I am restarting the FIC server and doing some maintenance on it. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 1:20 A.M. I hooked up the Radio Shack Coaxial A B switch on the right side of the primary computer, so the A switch is to enable the Panasonic 14 inch CRT television and KWorld television on the left monitor. The B switch is to enable the Hauppauge video card on the FIC server. I also tried tweaking the sound on the KWorld Labtec speakers, since there is a bit of static. All I can figure out is that by lowering the speaker sound and turning up the KWorld volume it gets rid of most of the static. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 12:10 A.M.

There is also another laundromat in downtown Byram near the Port Chester bridge, and another Laundromat in Port Chester near the Connecticut border near Clancy's bar. There also used to be a laundromat in Riverside just east of St. Catherine's, and there also used to be a laundromat at the Glenville Shopping Center. I have not been over to the east side of town, since I got my hair cut around this past Easter time, but maybe it was in early June 2014, I can not remember.

It seems to work just fine. I have it setup at the primary VOIP line along with the other VOIP line. On a test call to England to New 11065 Scotland Yard, it cost one penny for one minute. However, on my four line Panasonic telephone, the OpiTalk device is setup as the third line, but when one uses the Panasonic Phone directory dial, it selects the first line to call out on, so one has to enter the call manually. I turn the power to the OpiTalk device on and off from the lower left switch from the primary computer control panel. I do not leave the OpiTalk device turned on, except for when I am using it.

Back in the spring of 1975, when I used to swim with the owners permission in the Conyers Farm lake in back country Greenwich, there were rumors from the local youth swimming there that there was a giant snapping turtle living in the lake that would drag swimmers under water to their demise. I survived that period of swimming there, and I even built a 20 foot by 20 foot floating raft out of the old dock that was damaged by ice the previous winter. The owner of the property Louis Rosenstiel used to walk the property with three Russian wolf hounds, so there were probably wild animals out there. His wife later married Walter Annenberg, and was the United States Chief of protocol under Ronald Reagan. His daughter once had me at their home, and it was a stone house with heavy dark paneling. Later that summer, I camped out on Martha's Vineyard, but mostly on Nantucket, so I was a bit tanned, but I did not go down to south Florida until the fall of 1976, after having lived in Greenville, South Carolina and returning to New York City for the bicentennial, where I saw Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip and a lot of other people along with visiting family at my family's Greenwich house, and then returning to www.nantucket.net. On Columbus Day, the rich people in Nantucket return to the mainland to discover America.

It is quite roomy, and should accommodate one of my laptop computers in case I ever have to travel with one. I was first in Switzerland in January 1972, when I was traveling by train from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France on my Urail pass; I passed through Switzerland and had to go through Swiss customs on the train, but I did not get off the train in Switzerland, but in Chamonix, France to change for a local train to Grenoble.

Of course I have my own home office out here in Greenwich, Connecticut USA. When I stayed in the Waldorf Towers with Hurley Harris Haywood in January 1973, I went outside and had a cigarette on the patio of St. Bartholomew's church, and I noticed somebody that looked like the Duke of Windsor entering the Waldorf Towers, but I did not know he had supposedly died the spring before in 1972. Maybe it was Billy Baldwin who looked a bit like him. Hurley was the grandson of General Hurley, so I guess because General MacArthur also lived there, a lot of military people stayed there. However, the rooms are not too large by modern standards. In the early 1970s when I used Fred Von Mierers apartment on the ground floor at 420 East 49th Street, Ambassador Bush at the United Nations was also living at the Waldorf Towers. Back then the neighborhood was sort of noisy with them building the new Citicorp Center nearby. A lot of the tenants in the area did not like moving away to make room for the new high rises. Also the British Consulate was nearby on Third Avenue next to Fred's liquor store. P.J. Clark's nearby also was reasonable back then, and a bacon cheese burger with home fries was only about $2.95 and a drink was about $2. A liverwurst sandwich at the deli on the north side of the A&P was $2. I had friends that frequented Daly's Daffodil on First Avenue at 59th street where friends worked next to Ford Modeling, and where they had John Lindsey's going away party, so I knew a bit about the neighborhood, when I could afford it. My regular drink was white wine with soda water called a spritzer. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed.

I posted a list of the apps and programs that I have on my Windows 10 Technical Preview beta computer and my Windows 8.1 computer at: http://scott-mike.com/scott-apps.htm http://mikelouisscott.com/scott-apps.htm http://mikelouisscottcom.cv.siteprotect.net/scott-apps.htm From the Store just search for any of the different apps. Of course the programs come from elsewhere on the internet and my own. CIO <888> 10/05/14 Sunday 11:15 P.M. To free up space around the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer, I stored the shipping box with the cordless telephone parts and Iview tablet parts, and the two Iview tablet boxes, and the small radio box underneath the www.harvard.edu chair at the hallway entrance. Earlier I installed the Windows Updates on the Asus netbook. When I started it up yesterday morning, it would not go online with the new blue Lan cable I had attached to it, so I attached the white LAN cable that was by the www.harvard.edu chair to it. I can not figure out why the blue LAN cable did not work, since it is plugged into the Netgear switch, so it should work. CIO <888> 10/05/14 Sunday 10:30 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I am installing the apps on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop Windows 10 Technical Preview partition. On a laptop computer, the Store only shows a few apps, and one can not scroll for them, so one has to search for each app separately which takes time. I am looking at the apps on the IBM ThinkCentre by the mahogany bureau to know which ones to search for. CIO <888> 10/05/14 Sunday 9:20 P.M. I will now shower and clean up.

On the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition, the Optimum TV app will not install, because in 11072 the Optimum TV test, Microsoft Silver Light crashes the web browser. There is a newer version of the Optimum TV app probably for Windows 8, but if one can not download it, one can not try it out. After I installed FrontPage 2002 on it, the Windows Updates would not install the Office XP SP3 update, but I finally downloaded the full Office XP SP3 update separately, and it installed. CIO <888> 10/05/14 Sunday 3:45 A.M. I attached the connector cable for the Iview tablet to the Ocosmo HDTV switch box, and I put the Ocosmo TV on HDMI 2, and it displays the Iview tablet content on big screen just fine. I left the cable attached to the switch box. One turns on the switch box power with the power control center beneath it by the 21 inch HDTV to the left of the 32 inch Ocosmo HDTV. I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on the second partition on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop. It runs just fine. The Dell XP drivers for its LAN and Audio work just fine with it. I am not configuring it. The Optimum TV laptop app crashes Internet Explorer on the test, but I might be able to install it with the Firefox web browser. It will take a while to configure it with all of the apps that I can install with it. Everything else seems to work just fine with it. The way I figure it the Windows 10 Technical Preview should be good for about six months, since Windows 10 is not due to come out until about then. CIO <888> 10/05/14 Sunday 12:30 A.M.

I noticed, when I was testing one of the free Earthquake apps in Windows 8.1 this past morning last night that there were several small earthquakes happening at that time in California including a 4.5 earthquake off the northern coast of California. I guess that is normal, since nothing was reported in our national or local news. There was also some seismic activity up in Alaska. http://earthquaketrack.com/v/la/recent for the latest information.

I ate 8 ounces of reheated Perdue grilled Italian chicken strips, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. When I use to observe Manhattan in the old days, one of the taller people I used to see standing around at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue at rush hour was a police office named Miller, and he was about 7 foot 2 inches to 7 foot 4 inches tall, so he had a better view of the large crowds.

CIO <888> 10/03/14 Friday 12:10 P.M. On the IBM ThinkCentre beta machine, I could not restore the Complete PC Backup restore from the Windows 10 DVD, because the new hard drive is small at 360 GB compared to the original hard drive of 400 GB. The Complete PC Backup program is licensed from Symantec Norton Ghost, so they have yet to make it more flexible. I have never been able to afford to buy Norton Ghost to try it out to see if it has more features. I put the original hard drive back in the IBM ThinkCentre, so the beta machine with both partitions is back up and running. From past experience with my dual boot configuration on the beta machine even with a larger hard drive, the restore would not work, since my boot partition is different the installed boot partition in order to dual boot which Microsoft does not support. Beta testers do a lot of Mickey Mouse work. CIO <888> 10/03/14 Friday 11:15 A.M. On this January day in 1990, it was zero degrees Fahrenheit in Washington D.C., when I toured the White House http://scottmike.com/mlsdc.jpg , and as one can tell, I am not too warmly dressed, so I was used to colder weather back then. The White House is actually not too large of a building for all of the celebrity it gets, but it has a lot of historical significance. When I chatted with http://www.stjo.org , they told me it was minus 46 degrees Fahrenheit last winter in South Dakota, so it does get colder elsewhere in America. I drank a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale. On the IBM ThinkCentre beta machine in front of the mahogany bureau, I finished the Paragon Backup 11 restore of all partitions, and then I used the Windows 7 and Windows 10 DVDs to restore the boot managers. However, on Windows 7, product activation came up with a new hard drive installed. On the Windows 10 partition, the apps would not work. I just did a Seagate Utilities 1% zero write low level format of the new hard drive, and I will now try a Windows 10 Complete PC Backup restore of the system. CIO <888> 10/03/14 Friday 9:05 A.M. I woke up again. I ate two ounces of mixed nuts and a 12 ounce glass of 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale and 50% Punch. What the elite members of the so called liberal democratic party on both coasts in America forget is that there are a whole lot of ordinary people in the middle of the country that are more concerned with ordinary mundane affairs as opposed to the so called liberal Fabian socialist agenda. CIO <888> 10/03/14 Friday 7:35 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of mixed nuts, and then I went to bed after the last note. I just woke up. For some reason restoring the 10 GB Windows 10 partition is taking a long time. I have a while to go. I will now go back to bed. CIO 11075 <888> 10/03/14 Friday 3:40 A.M. I am now restoring the second partition. I took one of the new coaxial connectors, and I connected it up to the broken 50 foot black coaxial cable which is tricky. I do not know if it will work or not, since I did not test it. Cunard® Satellites detect 'thousands' of new ocean-bottom mountains CIO <888> 10/03/14 Friday 2:10 A.M. I took out the older Western Digital 400 GB SATA hard drive from the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau, and I installed the new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive. I used the Paragon 11 restore disk to first restore the boot manager partition, and now I am restoring the first primary partition, or possibly both primary partitions, if not I have to then restore the second primary partition. After doing three backups the older Western Digital 400 GB SATA hard drive was hot as a frying pan, which I do not think is very good for its life expectancy. I will know in a little while if the restore procedure works or not. I kept the new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive around in case I ever have to change the FIC server secondary hard drive that has the FIC server files and backups on it. I did not try the Microsoft Complete Backup restore, since I know from experience it will not work. Microsoft does not change a lot of its software in its operating system upgrades. CIO <888> 10/03/14 Friday 1:10 A.M. I finished the backups. I have a spare new 320 GB SATA drive, I could install and try to restore one of the backups to the IBM ThinkCentre to test the backup restore process as I have it configured. I ate a 19 ounce Stouffer's meat lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. CIO <888> 10/02/14 Thursday 11:55 P.M. In between the first and second backups, I tried creating another Paragon 10 restore disk, but Paragon no longer licenses part of it from Microsoft, so I have to stick with the Paragon restore disks that I have. I have a copy of Paragon backup 13 that I once had tried, but when I went to restore it, it did not work. I just discovered that restore disk was empty, so the restore program was never written to it. My www.cl-p.com bill for September 2014 was $145.09 with me being gone 14 days with 802 kWh over 27 days at 29.70 kWh per day with an average temperature of 64.7 degrees Fahrenheit. For September 2013, it was $105.91 with me being gone 14 days also for 647 kWh over 28 days at 23.11 kWh per day with an average temperature of 62.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Once I finish the three backups, I could try putting a new spare SATA hard drive in the IBM ThinkCentre, to see if I can restore it, but that takes more time after I have already been awake with 7 hours of sleep and one meal for 13 hours. CIO <888> 10/02/14 Thursday 9:50 P.M. I finished configuring the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. I 11076 am now doing a Paragon Backup 10 backup of the both partitions to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I will then do a Complete PC backup of both partitions to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I will then try to do a Windows 10 Complete PC backup of both partitions to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. However, as mentioned earlier just because I am able to do the backups, does not mean that if I have to try to restore any of them on the IBM ThinkCentre the restore process will work, and the computer will boot up the same. Still I have the spare space on the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive to make the backups, so I am making it. I like the new interface of the desktop on Windows 10, but supposedly the tablet interface for it is different. However, I do not have a tablet to try it on. I guess a lot of people like the start button with the icons features as opposed to sliding square icons of Windows 8. However, www.stardock.com and http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ for $5 gives on back the start button with icons in Windows 8 and 8.1. CIO <888> 10/02/14 Thursday 6:50 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I am still tweaking the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. A local political candidate http://oberlanderforgreenwich.com/ knocked on my door with a neighbor, and I discussed my viewpoint for a while, which is hard to explain, but it based on my experience.

The shirt fits just fine. It is a medium to light weight shirt. I am doing some minor updates on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. Since I have the Windows 10 Technical Preview and an earlier version of Windows on it with Dual Boot, I can not back it up, since the Complete System Restore backup function restore does not work with dual boot and neither does the Paragon backup restore. If one changes the Boot Manager which one can do with a boot manger program to the default Windows 10 boot manager, one can back it up and restore it, but that brings up product activation on the first Windows partition. When one restores that backup, one and changes the boot manger back to the other boot manager, one still has product activation on the first partition, but one then has to restore the first partition, and then enable the other boot manager, all of which is very cumbersome and time consuming.

I could use its H2O sim card in this device http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wrist-Watch-CellPhone-AT-T-Mobile-Camera-Mp3-4-MQ998BS/260717292268?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3cb3f62aec which I bought and returned a year ago, because its pin number was locked by another pin number, in other words, it had been used by someone else already. It did work quite well, if one wants to use such a device instead of a regular cell phone. At the moment, I will hold off, since I have three active cell phones and two inexpensive unused cell phones that I bought a few years ago for backup. I also have spare H2O regular and micro sim cards. The traveling international public do not realize how hard I work maintaining my rather complex but simple high tech "Pied A Terre" in North America. Alas the email for my only contact in South America does not work, so I guess I am the only contact in the Western Hemisphere in my network of International friends. The only telephone communications I ever get besides junk phone calls and friends and relatives is computer magazine call centers trying to get me to renew free computer magazines, which I mostly cancel, since I do not like being waken up the day time by them, when I am frequently on a night schedule. A lot of the cell phone and tablet parts and sim cards are in the boxes underneath the www.harvard.edu chair at the hallway entrance. The spare two new cheap cell phones are in some of the boxes piled around the Orion television in bedroom. Since most of the well finance general public use more expensive devices, there is not my interest in what I have accumulated on a limited budget over these years. CIO <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 6:15 P.M. I chatted with a relative. "Downton Abbey Rediscovered" is on Channel 13 www.pbs.org from 8 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. this evening. CIO <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 5:10 P.M. If you look at this http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=Panasonic%20Toughbook&sort=price_high , one can see what various expensive Panasonic Toughbooks cost at www.walmart.com like the Greenwich Police cars use. They are not cheap. CIO <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 5:05 P.M. I reheated and ate another Thanksgiving meal from http://www.templesholom.com/ . It consisted of three thick slices of white turkey meat, stuffing, steamed green beans and carrot bits, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, a dinner 11082 roll, and brownie. I put Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil in the vegetables and dinner roll. I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com . It was a most excellent and delicious meal. CIO <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 4:20 P.M. According to the reports on the www.rockefeller.edu family in the www.nytimes.com last week Why Are Rockefellers Moving From 30 Rock? ‘We Got a Deal’ - NYTimes.com , they are down to their last $10 billion, and they now have 500 relatives. $10 billion at 7.5 interest would yield $750 million annually, which divided by 500 relatives means they each only get $1.5 million a year, which is not that much money anymore in the big bucks world. Also they are probably not all in cash, but a lot of low yielding real estate, but that is the basic math, and they would probably have to pay taxes of 35% on the interest of $525 thousand leaving them each with $975,000 a year mugging money. CIO <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 3:45 P.M. I chatted with neighbors. I threw out the garbage. I went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought two 8.75 ounce cans of CVS deluxe lightly salted mixed nuts for $3.99 each for $7.98 total. I then bought a 16 double roll bundle of Charmin extra strong toilet paper for $9.99 and .63 tax for $10.62 total. I then went further 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 played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I toured the Greenwich Train Station. I stopped by the www.apple.com computer store, and I told them they should make an Apple version of the Panasonic Toughbook for Law Enforcement. I tried to used the bathroom at Starbucks, but it was busy. I toured the Greenwich Hardware and their wide variety of home maintenance items. I noticed on the way into town that the Rusty Oxer truck maintenance garage on West Putnam Avenue has closed, and they have moved to Bridgeport. I chatted with a staff member from the Casablanca Polo shop http://www.casablancapolo.com , and they told me they supply Prince William with his polo gear. I toured CVS again. I sat out for a while at the top of Greenwich Avenue. I toured the new shop http://www.boastusa.com/ of an old Greenwich Country Day classmate that sells the resort wear with the Japanese Tea Leaf on it at the top west side of Greenwich Avenue. Also the street lamp there that was lopsided has been removed. I chatted with a board of education employee. I finished my walk. I chatted with someone with a Doberman Pincher. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. At the board of education parking lot, there is a van selling what looks like vintage clothing. I then drove over to the Stop and Shop, and I bought four blueberry muffins for $3.99, two six packs of multigrain English muffins for $2.50 each, a 10 ounce bottle of Kikkoman soy sauce for $2.19, a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.04, two 8 ounce Smart Balance extra virgin olive oil spread for $1.69 each, two 18 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oats for $2.50 each, two 12 ounce generic honey for $2.50 each, a 16 ounce package of Perdue chicken nuggets for $1.99, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.39, one sweet potato for .99 a pound for .70 and 55 cents can return for $31.53 total. I used my $20 Greenwich Department of Social Services voucher to buy part of the groceries. I then returned home, and I carried up my purchases, and I put them away. CIO 11083 <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 8:45 A.M. Good News a 16 roll bundle of Charmin toilet paper is now on sale at www.cvs.com for $9.99. Hurry while supplies last. That is eight dollars off. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go downtown to do errands. It warmer this morning, and it is already up to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO <888> 11/30/14 Sunday 7:45 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. Today is the last day of the Tropical Storm Season.. I guess the last remaining snow birds in this area will be going back down to Florida for the winter season.

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 currently weigh 226 pounds. When I was last in Europe in January 1992, I only weighed 170 pounds. I think possibly since I eat oatmeal for breakfast every day, I have put a bit of weight on. I eat oatmeal, because it is good for one's cholesterol. When I used to eat bacon, eggs, and English muffins for breakfast I weighed less, but that meal is higher in cholesterol. To make my oatmeal in the morning, I put a half cup of Quaker Old fashioned oats in a microwave proof bowl with a cup of water. I put the bowl in the microwave oven with a microwave cover on it, and I microwave it 1 minute and 40 seconds. I add honey, milk, and a sliced banana to the oatmeal.

CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 4:55 P.M. I am pretty much out of backup USB drive storage, unless I delete one of the backups, which I would rather not do. I do not have anymore room on my external hard drives to do an Aoemi backup of the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I backup all of my systems, so if there is a hardware malfunction or system corruption, I do not have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the systems. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 4:20 P.M. I finished configuring the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I am now doing a Windows 7 Complete PC backup of the entire system to the Seagate 2 TB USB external USB hard drive. It is pretty much the same as the other IBM ThinkCentres. The backup is about 41 GB in size. I moved the good Logitech headset from the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop to the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom so it now has a good headset. I put the weaker headset back on the second Dell D410 laptop. I have a new refurbished Logitech headset that I have never used, but I am saving it for when I need it. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 11:50 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 10:30 A.M. A neighbor rang my door bells. The neighbor wanted to know, if I wanted to go to Thanksgiving Dinner at the http://www.fpcg.org/ from noon to 2 P.M.. I explained to the neighbor that I am busy working my computers. Also today I have had digestion problems, which I would not feel comfortable being out in public. I will now shower and clean up. Half the town of Greenwich, Connecticut is under 16 years old. If they are not watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, they are probably watching cartoons. I try to watch some of the American News media, but it always seem so irrelevant to the general public at large. They basically seem to broadcast what their commercial sponsors want to broadcast, and not want the general public might want to watch or listen to. In other words, the local media is not very entertaining anymore. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 9:40 A.M. I woke up at 8 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% 11088 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 chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 1:05 A.M. On the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom, the Microphone sound is not very loud. It is possibly the inexpensive Logitech headset that I have on it. I am tired, and I have been awake 25 hours, so I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. I will eat 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt first. I will finish configuring the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom at a later date. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 12:25 A.M. I have the Windows Updates installed on the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I had problems setting up the CMOS with the wireless keyboard, so I used a PS/2 keyboard for the one time procedure. I installed the C-Media Audio drivers for the Rosewill 5.1 audio card. The sound is just fine. I could not get the USB LAN device to work with Windows 7, so I will use the motherboard LAN connection. I can always get a more up to date USB LAN device, but the only reason I use them is not to worry about losing the motherboard LAN device. I looked at the inside of the case, and it appears a full length PCIe X1 video or graphics card would be lying on top of the CPU heat sink, which I do not think is advisable. For now I will stick with the motherboard 128 meg. Intel Graphic video which seems fast and clear enough. I am defragmenting the C: drive, before I configure it.

The graphic card below might fit, I have to look and see if it the system can take a full length card versus a half link card the specs call for. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 5:10 P.M. I threw out the Microsoft 5000 wireless keyboard and mouse box. It is still raining outside at the moment, but it is suppose to change to snow and freeze tonight. I picked up the mail. I got my Greenwich Department of Social Services Voucher for $20 for the Stop and Shop, but I am not going out in this weather. The Stop and Shop is supposed to be opened until 5 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day. I put the IBM ThinkCentre shipping box which does not weigh very much on the top bedroom closet shelf. If it is a PCIe X1 slot, it is the lower of the two slots which does not have as much room above it with the PCI slot above it. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 4:35 P.M. This is all I can find on it http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd006096 . This video card might work with it http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/111513683591?lpid=82 but the fan might make it too thick to install, and it might be better with a heat sink, if it is PCIe x1 on the second slot . CIO 11089 <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 3:50 P.M. I have to wait for it to install a 170 Windows Updates, before I start configuring it. It seems to be a half inch to an inch of snow or slush on the roof across the way. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 3:30 P.M. The IBM ThinkCentre works just fine. I installed it on the bedroom desk with the 19 inch Acer LCD monitor, the generic Logitech speakers, the generic Logitech web cam, and the RCA plugs headset. I also put a new Microsoft Wireless Comfort 5000 keyboard and mouse set on it. It has 2 GB of memory, a 80 GB SATA hard drive, Windows 7 Home Premium, a DVD/RW drive. It will not take either of my spare video cards, but it has 128 MB of onboard video memory. It has one PCI slot that I put in the new Rosewill PCI 7.1 audio card that I bought earlier this year for $11.99. It seems to have some other PCI Express slot, but I am not sure what type it is. It is the one with the three or four half inch slots. When I started it up, I changed some of the CMOS settings. I have it plugged into the onboard LAN, but I have a USB LAN device that I will install later. It installed Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. It has its Windows 7 Home Premium sticker on the right rear side with the product activation code. I wrote it down too, but I had a bit of problem telling the differences between "B" and "8", which took a while to figure out. The new install is 14 GB on three different partitions. I did a Complete PC backup of it to both the Vantec and the Bytecc external USB hard drives. I am now installing the Windows Updates which will take a while. It is IBM ThinkCentre "MT-M 9210-KUA". It is suppose to have a hidden system restore partition, that on booting up and pressing F6, one can access; but I am not sure if it exists or not. I set to the CMOS setting for it for "Secure", so if it exists, it can not be altered. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:25 P.M. The order with tracking of UPS Tracking on the order for IBM Computer 2GB Memory 40GB Hard Drive CD-ROM Windows 7 Home Premium for $39 and $5 shipping for $44 total arrived. I will now install the additional parts in it, and configure it. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:10 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:05 P.M. The family from Temple Sholom left a second Thanksgiving meal outside my door. I will be eating well for the next two days. I went downstairs, and I checked out the local environment. It is raining a pretty heavy outside, and it might turn to sleet in the areas further north of here. I can hear a lot of traffic on I95 http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&q=415220 . Instead of napping, I will try to stay up through this afternoon, and possibly get a on a daytime schedule tomorrow. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 11:25 A.M. A family from http://www.templesholom.com/ in Greenwich just delivered a Thanksgiving meal to me. I thanked them. I put the 8 ounce rib eye steak back in the freezer. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 11:20 A.M. http://www.techbargains.com/dell-financialservices-black-friday-deal 11090 I noticed this morning at CVS on West Putnam Avenue that a 16 roll package of Charmin double roll toilet paper is now $17.99, when it is not on sale. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 9:30 A.M. I reheated and ate the same flavored rice and flavored Dinty Moore meal, which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I wander what the that six foot wide and six foot tall white man out on Long Island is eating for his Thanksgiving Meal. Maybe he should play Santa Claus in the www.macys.com Thanksgiving Day parade, but he might scare the children. I once read that the Macy family like a lot of well known families were from www.nantucket.net . Of course the descendants of the Mayflower Pilgrims are suppose to number 20 million people. Bill Cary when he was alive besides being Fred Von Mierers' lawyer, also used to run the Mayflower Society in Manhattan https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ . I visited Plymouth Rock a couple of times, when I was a Polaroid photographer, and Polaroid paid me 9 cents a mile travel money. I think the last time I visited Plymouth Rock was in the spring of 1977 while hitch hiking, when I was drifting around the Boston area waiting to settle into Nantucket for the summer. The time before that was in the summer of 1971 with my elder sister and her boy friend. That evening we had dinner at Trader Vics http://tradervics.com/ at the Sheraton Hotel in Boston, and after a few Samoan Fog Cutters, I almost got into trouble with the Secret Service for bad mouthing George Wallace who was making a campaign appearance there at the time. Alabama republicans at the time were well known for speaking out against the democrat establishment. Richard Nixon used to also like eating at Trader Vics.

CIO <888> 11/20/14 Thursday 2:30 P.M. I installed a 60.75 inch vertical stud on the center front of the bedroom closet shelf with clothes hanger. I used four 3 inch screws to attach the top of the stud to the front center of the wire shelf where there was a double layer of hardwood slats that I had installed earlier. I used four 2 inch screws drilled into the floor at angles into the wood to secure the stud at the bottom to the floor. One can not drill very far into the floor like it might be cement, so the angle method holds the stud in place. I used five wall anchors with 2 inch screws on either side of the closet with 30 inch by 1 inch by 3 inch pieces of wood to hold the speakers in place against the back walk to keep them from rocking or moving. I also put in two 11 inch by 1 inch by 3 inch wood pieces on either side at the top of the wire rack over the speakers with four two inch screws each in addition to the hard wood pieces I had already installed to attach the wire shelf to the heavy wood speakers. Thus the bedroom closet hanging clothes shelf is very secure, and it should never come down again. The vertical stud blocks me from putting the Hoover vacuum cleaner on the floor of the closet, so I put it on the left side of the bed underneath the CVS laptop computer table that holds a lot of old paper work.

The building custodian stopped by with a Spanish speaking computer engineer from Uruguay and Spain, and they wanted to know if I had a power adapter for an HP laptop, they brought with them. I only have a universal power adapter with the different plugs for an automobile power adapter, and not an AC power adapter. I showed them my computer setup, and I explained a lot of my computers are pretty old, but they do work, and they cost me quite a bit to upgrade on my limited budget. I also showed the building custodian the repaired closet. The building custodian translated for the Spanish speaking computer engineer. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 11:35 A.M. I chatted with a relative. When I have the time some morning, I could drive over to http://www.interstatelumber.com/ in Byram on the Byram River, and get a 2" X 4" X 60.75" inch piece of wood that I could use to support the front center of my bedroom closet shelf to take some of the stress off the wire shelf. I could attach it to the floor with Stanley angle irons and a small flat piece of wood at the top. I would lose about 3.5 inches of closet hanging space. I could also get two 1" X 4" X 24" strips of wood to use to hold the speakers in place instead of the strip and the wedge that I am using at the moment. But when I have the time. The wire hanging shelf is secure enough for now. It has been a long time, possibly even a year, since I crossed the border into New York State, and frequently people see me so rarely over there in that neck of the woods that has gotten very expensive anymore, they treat me like a foreign visitor in their new metropolis. I used to shop over there all of the time. Thus if I got to Interstate Lumber, I would be on this side of the Byram River. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 9:55 A.M.

It took a while to sort through some of my spare computer parts. I finally found Buy.com - Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Notebook Card that I bought for $6.99 with free shipping April 27, 2011. I used its CD, and I installed it on both partitions on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I disabled the other two wireless devices installed on it, so the Belkin is the default wireless device. It works just fine at 25 GPS download and upload. I put copies of the Dell Latitude E6400 service and install manuals on both partitions. I also put in a 4 GB SD card.

Of course up in www.nantucket.net , where they have bigger fish, I used to use a 14 foot fiberglass rod that split in two along with a Penn http://www.pennfishing.com/ reel and 50 pound test line and http://www.hopkinslures.com/ to catch the 78 blue fish and 2 stripped bass, I once caught in October 1978 at the Lyon Farm Road beach by the old www.navy.mil nuclear preparedness Quonset hut in two hours. I filleted the fish on the beach to chum the water, and I got 15 cents a pound for the blue fish filets and 35 cents a pound for the striped bass filets. I had just bought my $150 1971 yellow www.subaru.com that I put in a new clutch myself, and I later that month left Nantucket with a friend to head out to California, and elsewhere, but I never caught anything with the fishing gear elsewhere in California or Florida. I left the fishing gear at the www.shell.com gasoline station on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Barbara, California in exchange for $10 in gasoline the night Ronald Reagan got elected President, so I could drive down to the victory party with a bunch of old California types in Laguna Beach, California. At the time on that last trip, I was driving a two door 1971 Burgundy Volvo sedan made in Belgium that I had bought in August 1980 at John Delia Subaru here in Greenwich for $1,750, where I gave them my old yellow Subaru. After the victory party, I sold the burgundy Volvo sedan for $1,250 a cash for your car place next to the entrance of Disney Land that I never visited to afford to fly back with my friend to the very cold winters of Manhattan. I did make a brief trip to Frankfurt, Germany that December 1980 to see what was happening. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 7:40 A.M. While at www.lfc.edu , I was one invited to go pheasant hunting in nearby Wisconsin by a roommate from Lake Forest, Illinois. It 11105 seemed sort of strange that the roommate seemed to be more interested in possibly shooting me than a pheasant, so after that I was a little bit leery of hunting with people that I did not know well. Down South in Decatur, Alabama, my father's group of friends mostly hunted Canadian Geese and Doves. They did used to have turkey shoots at Thanksgiving. While at Lookout Mountain Camp age 7 and 8 years old, I was pretty good at shooting a 22 caliper rifle, and I still have the National Rifle Association badges to prove it. Of course after looking at computer monitors for 24 years and reading most of my life, my eye sight might not be as good as when I was 7 or 8 years old. I have a relative who used to know the owner of Zepco http://www.zebco.com/ Sporting Company, and that individual use to hunt with the King of Spain. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 7:10 A.M. I chatted with a friend. He is still in a deer stand hunting. I guess if he does not get his deer, he will be a bit hungry this winter. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 6:30 A.M.

I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue. I bought a 12 pack of A&W root beer 12 ounce cans for $3.67, a 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of www.coke.com for $3.50, a 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale for $3.67 and $1.80 can deposit and two 17.5 ounce cans of low salt premium mixed nuts for$6.99 each can for $26.62 total. I then went by the red Christian charity drop box at the Stop and Shop, and I dropped off a bag of old clothes and other items. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue and all the way down Steamboat Road to the pier on the waterfront. It seems perfectly normal down there. The new housing project across the street from 600 Steamboat Road seems to be progressing along. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $8.01 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $3.979 a gallon for 2.012 gallons at odometer reading of 109855 miles for 23.4 miles driving since Thursday November 6, 2014 for 11.631 miles per gallon in mostly local night traffic. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart from the rear of the Volvo wagon to bring up the soda and put it away. I then put the little folding cart 11106 back in the rear of the Volvo wagon. I picked up the mail. The www.time.com magazine arrived. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 1:30 A.M. I woke up at midnight.

I guess people in Florida are still having to rough it out in the hot weather. Up North here in the Tundra of Connecticut, we are still getting ready for another long cold winter ahead. Down south, the Tropical Storm Season does not end until the end of November. Having spent a five winters down south, I know it can be more comfortable down there, but it is also hard for English speaking Yankees whom are well educated to make a living down south of the Mason Dixon line. I do better up north, where I am around a lot of the same people whom have the same educational background that I happen to have. Unfortunately that education does not always transfer to other parts of the country or the World in general, as I have found out, when I have traveled. There is some dispute in the family whether my branch is related to the Winfield Scott branch of the family. From my research, it could be possible. When Winfield Scott's father arrived in this country in New Jersey around 1724 from Scotland, he was looking for a relative that he never found. It so happens that my Scott relative also arrived from Scotland at the same time, and unlike Winfield Scott's father whom married into the wealthy Winfield family of Virginia, my relative first settled in Western Pennsylvania, with a son who fought in the American Revolution and got 200 acres for it in North Carolina, and his descendants became the wealthy William Scott family of Kentucky that my relatives in central Illinois are descended from. Thus over time in America like elsewhere, people and families move around. I do know that my relatives in North Carolina might be related to the actor Randolph Scott who was also from the same part of North Carolina. However, since my father was an only child, my branch of the Scott family is not very large so to speak. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 10:05 A.M. I called up the Greenwich Housing Authority at 1203-869-1138, and I cancelled the work order. I chatted with neighbors, while I sat outside for a while.

New York City has their "Old Guard" too, whom know a thing or two about the Big City. Alas, it probably got expensive there too. Even the www.forbes.com family had to sell their building to http://www.nyu.edu/ . I suppose once one leaves nearby Manhattan, and one is left roughing it in the wilderness of Connecticut; one learns to keep busy as best one can based on one's experience and income.

It automatically installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview Updates, and this time the audio does work. I shut it down. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 2:20 A.M. I threw out the garbage on a rainy morning. I sat outside briefly. Traditionally the Scottish have a long history of "The Night Watch". I guess since the British were always invading at all odd hours in the morning. Also the Dutch have a long history of "The Night Watch" , since the Germans also were also invading at all hours of the early mornings. Since I am of Scottish, English, and Dutch descent; it seems over all of these decades, I have become accustomed to being awake at night and in the early morning hours. In nearby Manhattan, there are always a few people awake at night, but out here in the suburbs; there are not as many people awake in the wee hours of the mornings, since to afford to live here, one has to work mostly in the daytime. Also with the higher prices of fuel, one can not cruise around to see if there is any activity here or in neighboring communities. I will now open the apps on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. There are more like it at Ebay starting at about $130 with the same basic configuration that I have. Of course some people prefer to pay a hundred dollar more for a new laptop with more resources.

On the white bookcase on the right side of the kitchen entrance, I moved the Brother laser printer further back towards the wall. I put out my two foot artificial Christmas tree on its teak stand at the front end of 11109 the same white bookcase, and I connected up its lights to a power strip that one can turn on and off. I also put the artificial wreath outside my front entrance door. I chatted with a neighbor and a relative. CIO <888> 11/16/14 Sunday 11:25 A.M. I threw out some garbage.

The order with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9405510200881385352566 on the order for $39.90 with free shipping Premier 100mm Light Cigarette Tubes - 10 Boxes and $2.53 tax for $43.43 total arrived. I made my bed. I moved the pair of speakers from the bedroom to on top of the hallway book shelves, and I connected them up. Thus my living room stereo system is back to normal. There now are no stereo speakers in the bedroom. I hardly listen to the stereo system anymore, since I do not want to disturb my neighbors. I also have a wireless headphone system on the stereo system. I find I concentrate better on the computer, if I do not listen to music. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 12:35 P.M. I chatted with a friend who is out hunting deer. I ate a 19 ounce Marie Callender 3 meat and 4 cheese lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and two sliced tomatoes with celery salt, ground black pepper, Italians seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoes, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 11:25 A.M. I put the clothes back on the bedroom closet shelf clothes hanging rack. With the six inch support space and the two speakers at either end, it is only about 5 feet or less of hanging clothes cramped in not 7 feet. It seems to be stable and secure. I put a small strip of wood on the right side of the top right speaker to keep it from shifting, and I and I wedged another piece of wood between the top left speaker and the wall with a piece of wood to keep it from pushing through the sheet rock. Thus the speakers can not rock of shift slightly forward. I did not put anything heavy on the closet shelf. Just a comforter, some tissue paper, a half dozen polo shirts, a box with my canvas back pack and two spare coffee machines and a spare Cusineart food processor. The heavier items are over the speakers. I put the items back on the floor including my spare towels and sheets along with my walking short piled up on the floor on the right side. I put 11111 my golf clubs behind the chair opposite the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer behind the primary work computer. I threw out a Sears upright vacuum cleaner with bags, a Regina carpet cleaner with extra brushes, a like new Olivetti toaster oven, a glass pipe tobacco jar, old coffee machines, a old coffee grinder, and a couple of boxes of old receipts. Thus it was about a six hour project, but the apartment is back to normal whatever that might be. I chatted with a relative earlier. When I have time, I can take the pair of speakers out of the bedroom and put them on the hallway bookcases to replace the larger pair I used for the closet setup. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 7:45 A.M. I finished installing the closet shelf hanging clothes rack as described in the previous note. It went faster because the Black and Decker drill has a flat head screw driver bit. The shelf seems sturdy enough. I will now put back in the clothes and other items, so hopefully it will support the weight. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 6:05 A.M. I have six, 8" X 1.25" X 3/8th" hard wood slats that came off pants hangers. I can use two of those sandwiched around the front center of the shelf to provide a connecting place for the front 45 degree angle support attachment. I then can use two of them on either side in the rear corners to secure the rear back of the wire shelf to speakers. I have a box of the right size woods screws, so I will get on it now. I have a new Black and Decker drill and a set of new Bosch drill bits and extension cord. Hopefully it will all work. I already have the other four 45 degree angle supports installed. With my setup having the shelf on top of the heavy wood speakers, all of the weight is on the floor and not on the sheet rock. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 5:40 A.M. I think I could probably fix the center front 45 degree angle support attachment with a 1.5 inch to 2 inch hose clamp, which I don't have. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 4:30 A.M. A simple cheap way to do it, might be to buy two, fours pack of 4 inch Stanley flat bars at the Greenwich Hardware store if they have them, and use two on the back side of either speaker to secure the shelf to heavy wood speakers, so it does not flip. However, the center 45 degree angle support has broken at its plastic mounting on the center front of the shelf, but one might repair that with a double layer of Behr paint sticks. Still there is a lot of weight on the shelf assembly, so it might be better for the building custodian to do a professional job when he has the time. CIO <888> 11/15/14 Saturday 4:20 A.M. The building custodian did not get around to checking out my attempted closet shelf hanging clothes rack installation yesterday.

I woke up at 11 P.M.. I picked up my mail. 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. CIO <888> 11/14/14 Friday 2:45 P.M. I went out to my 1:30 P.M.. After my appointment, I returned home.

CIO <888> 11/14/14 Friday 11:55 A.M. I drank a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. CIO <888> 11/14/14 Friday 10:35 A.M. I drove over to Neighbor to Neighbor, and I dropped off the clothes that I had outgrown. I then went by CVS, and I picked up two prescriptions. I then sat out further downtown. I went by Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won $2 for a dollar profit. I then chatted with another local walker. I then returned home, and I chatted with a neighbor. The building custodian told me he might have time to look at my bedroom closet setup this afternoon. I have a 1:30 P.M. appointment this afternoon. CIO <888> 11/14/14 Friday 8:00 A.M. I ate a 16 ounce Marie Callender chicken pot pie with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes soda. I will now change into warmer clothes and head over to Neighbor to Neighbor. CIO 11114 <888> 11/14/14 Friday 7:10 A.M. After the last note, I took down all of the flags in front of the hallway bookcases, and I put them in the Rubbermaid laundry hamper underneath the Sony Television in the bedroom. I then took down the two large wooden Technicsl speaker from on top of the hallway bookcases, and I put one each on either side of the floor in the bedroom closet. I then took two other large heavy wooden speakers from on top of the file cabinet in the bedroom and the right side of the bed, and I put them on top of the other two speakers creating about 12 inch by 11 inch by 55 inch high platform on either end of the inside of the bedroom closet. I then put the 7 foot long wire shelf with clothes hanging rack on top of the speakers. I used five 45 degree support bars between the lower back closet wall and the underneath of the shelf, with the closet wall ends held in place by Behr paint sticks to prevent push threw the sheet rock. It seemed like a secure setup, but just as I was finishing putting in all the clothes back inthe closet, the back of the shelf flipped up and slid off the speakers dropping the clothes to the floor. The center 45 degree support rod had its white plastic mount to the shelf break causing the shelf system to become unstable. I think the setup might work if I put a double thick layer of 2" X 4" underneath and along the top of the back of the shelf and below if in back, and smaller double layers of 2" X 4" pieces in front of the sides of the shelf to keep it from shifting forward, and possibly using some sort of fastener to secure the shelf to the rear 2" X 4" setup, so it would not shift. Also possibly putting a vertical 2" X 4" stud in the center front of the shelf with smaller "T" 2" X 4" inch pieces screwed into to either end of the center front of the stud, and securing it to the shelf and the floor with some sort of fastener strip and screws. I will have to think about it. In the process of putting the clothes on the shelf, I sorted out about a third of the clothes that are too small for me. I moved the good clothes back to the Ethan Allen recliner in the living room an on the floor in front of it. I took the plastic hangers off the clothes that are too small for me, and I saved them on the closet shelf to use later. I sorted those clean clothes into two plastic bags and two large piles, and I used my little folding cart to wheel them out to the Volvo station wagon in three trips. I will take them over to http://ntngreenwich.org/ a little before 8:30 A.M. this morning, when they open. The only problem with the shelf setup as I have described, if it works, one loses about two feet of the seven feet of hanging space, but one would not probably want to put any more weight on the setup any way. The shelf before it collapsed was sagging about 3/4th of an inch in the middle. I will have to think about is some more. I also threw out an old Epson inkjet printer, and the air conditioning recharge system, I had for my 1993 Buick wagon many moons ago. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 11:15 P.M.

I put a partially used 9 volt battery in the CVS motion detection light, and I placed it on the left side wicker rack above the toilet in the bathroom, so a bit of light comes on automatically, when one enters the bathroom toilet area. CIO 11115 <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 9:55 P.M. When I was taking down the right bedroom closet door to clear out the closet last Friday, when the shelf broke, I also broke the string on the water color of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France that is part of a set of two with a water color of the City Hall in Paris. I remembered I thought that I had bought a spool of string some time ago at CVS, but I could not find it after looking everywhere for about an hour. I finally was about to look in my little plastic yellow tool box in the hallway closet, and I noticed a long piece of old telephone wire. I used part of that to rehang the water color of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. On my last trip to Paris, France during the Albertville, France Winter Olympics, I noticed the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and although I am not Roman Catholic, I went inside and said a prayer for Paris, since they seemed to be overwhelmed with security forces for the Winter Olympics. Since the French could not afford to have electricity in the place, it was sort of hard to see what it looked like inside, but it is quite a large place near the Louvre on the Seine River, possibly on the Isle de Paris in the middle of the Seine. I can not remember. Thus I have been inside that church too. In fact it was the last church I have been inside in the Eastern Hemisphere after all of the religious places I toured on an earlier trip the winter and spring of 1972 to Southern Europe. I do recall on the winter of 1983 trip to Oslo, Norway having visited the two main churches in Oslo, Norway. Since I have never been in the United Kingdom, I probably have not visited any of their old churches, but I have seen a few United Kingdom residents in my days. When I use to drink alcohol up until about 24 years ago, and I might have one beer on a Saturday night, I would frequently run into people from the United Kingdom in some of our local and Manhattan pubs, so I guess they enjoy having a pint or two and can afford it. I think in the United States of America, in the New York City Area, an alcoholic drink now costs about $8 to $10 at most places. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 8:20 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 6:10 P.M.

I made my bed. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 5:15 P.M. I woke up at 9 A.M., and I went out into the hallways, and I chatted with a couple of neighbors. I ate one ounce of mixed nuts. I went back to bed, until a free computer magazine called me up, and I cancelled it. I then slept until 3:30 P.M., when a fund raiser for disabled veterans called me up. I then went downstairs, and I chatted with a neighbor, and I picked up the mail. I then rested until 4:45 P.M.. I chatted with a friend. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 7:05 A.M.

CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 6:00 A.M. I moved the ash trays, Eiffel Towel souvenir, and Zippo lighters to the right lower side of the Ocosmo TV in the living room. Earlier, I also put the www.monsanto.com cup with the spare pens there. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 5:55 A.M. I put the gift from a friend from Sao Paulo, Brazil in front of the Abit computer.

I reheated and ate the same Dinty Moore and rice dinner as yesterday morning with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I hung the internet weather station on the top left side of the apartment entrance door. I moved the Dakota Indian spirit chime from that location to the door handle of the right living room closet door. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 5:15 A.M. I cleared the various items from in front of the Epox computer monitor, and I moved them all to different locations. I put the ash tray, Zippo lighters, and Eifel tower souvenir on the center shelf of the right hallway bookcase. I moved the internet weather station by the left mouse pad on the Asus netbook setup. I moved the two emergency lanterns on the floor underneath the Epox computer. I moved the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook laptop setup from the CVS laptop table in front of the left living room closet to in front of the Epox computer monitor on the oak dining table. One can still move the Panasonic setup slightly forward to pull out the Epox keyboard, if one needs to use it. I moved the CVS laptop table to the left rear of the bed in the bedroom with the various odd paper work on top of it. To do that I had to temporary move on to the bed the various spare coffee machines and other kitchen items I had taken out of the bedroom closet, and they are now on the left side of the bed on the floor again. I moved the folding oak TV table from that location folded up on the right side of the legal chair in the living room. Thus one can now access the left living room closet without having to move any items. I keep my formal clothes there along with my many polar fleece pullovers and backup hard drives and spare shoes.

I have removed them, but I could probably figure out how to reattached them again, since they have their sheet rock anchors already installed. Of I could install them with mollies which the same toggle bolts which would be another $3.90. However, the weight of the shelf on the sheet rock in the past has pushed the support brackets through the sheet rock, which is why I used the paint sticks to support them. It would be better to attach a 1 X 6 inch piece of wood along the back wall with mollies to support the support brackets. That would be $3.90 for the toggle bolts to support the piece of wood. 1, 8 foot X 1 inch X 6 inch piece of wood http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-1-in-x6-in-x-8-ft-Common-Board-914770/202074483 for $8.75 and a cheap saw to cut it http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-20-in-Wood-Handled-Aggressive-Tooth-Saw122SS2012/204748780 for $12.97, but I have a Black and Decker Drill and Drill Bits that I could drill a number of holes with an break the piece to about seven foot length.

The plastic support pieces are not available, but one could stick in three inch by 1.5 inch pieces of wood held by two hose clamps on either end. The piece of 1 X 6 would actually be about 3/4th of an inch thick, so one could cut two three inch by 3/4th inch pieces about two inches wide with the hand saw which might be tricky and support them in the strut ends with four http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt4-in-Stainless-Steel-Clamp-6756595/202309381 for $1.45 each $5.80 total. Thus the closet repair items would be: $85.90 or with the hand saw $98.87 and 7.5% tax of $6.45 or $7.41 for $92.75 without the hand saw and $106.55 with the hand saw that one probably would need to cut the small wooden end strut pieces and shelf support strip. I really do not have the funds at the minute for that expense anyway, so I will continue to wait for the building custodian to make the repairs his own expert way. CIO <888> 11/13/14 Thursday 1:40 A.M. I put away the clean laundry. One of the cheaper ways to repair the bedroom closet shelf hanging clothes assembly might be to reinstall it with the plastic supports at the rear and plastic end supports that it was installed with before using mollies and a metal washer to hold the end supports into the sheet rock and reattaching the five angle shelf supports underneath that I had installed before. Then at the points behind the shelf assembly where there are aluminum two by four studs, one could drill holes into the aluminum studs and add http://www.homedepot.com/p/Crown-Bolt-10-in-x-12-in-White-Shelf-Bracket15254/202034279 underneath the shelf for more support attached to the aluminum studs with sheet metal screws. If one did not have the capability of drilling into aluminum studs, one could put three of the shelf supports on either end and nine along the back and install each shelf support with three toggle bolts into the sheet rock. Thus besides the plastic supports, one would need 15 shelf supports and 45 toggle bolts. However, the back of the bedroom closet is also near the hot water tank in the ceiling of the bathroom. If that hot water tank ever leaked which it did 18 years ago, it might get the sheet rock wet. It sheet rock gets wet, it becomes like mush and loses all of its support capabilities. It might hold the additional weight that I seem to have accumulated over 26 years at Chateau de Vinci. I assume the Greenwich Housing Authority custodian with the other closet assemblies that have collapses in this building over the years knows how to do a proper repair that will last indefinitely.

I ate 5 ounces of mixed nuts while I was making cigarettes. http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141107-will-polar-bears-become-extinct CIO <888> 11/12/14 Wednesday 2:55 A.M. I made 242 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching series 13 episode 4 of "Poirot". I ordered $39.90 with free shipping Premier 100mm Light Cigarette Tubes - 10 Boxes and $2.53 tax for $43.43 total. CIO <888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 11:05 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside briefly on a warmer night for this time of year. I turned off the lights in the community room and the 11120 laundry room. I noticed there are still people at the ice skating rink in the back yard. Having grown up down south until my family moved here in 1962, I was never attracted to ice skating, but I used to be a pretty good golfer with an 8 handicap on the shorter course at the Greenwich Country Club. However, besides the cost of playing golf, I also have arthritis, so I do not anticipate playing golf anytime in the near future. Still in nice weather I do enjoy walking around a bit. I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 9:35 P.M. I chatted with two relatives. I will now shower and clean up. It is all quiet on the Southwestern Front of Connecticut, and we are not expecting the Polar Vortex to come our way, but we will have the normal cooler weather for this time of year. Alas there are not many people awake at night in the suburbs except for essential services unlike nearby Manhattan, where there are a lot more people awake at night. Still I will be awake again tonight with my many years of personal computer experience and night time experience for what it is worth. However, the general public when they are asleep are not aware that there are still a few people left awake out here in the tundra of Connecticut. CIO <888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 7:55 P.M. I ate a blueberry muffin before going to bed. I woke up at 6:15 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. I made my bed. CIO <888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 10:20 A.M. On the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, the Windows 10 Technical Preview now has audio, after I restored the backup from yesterday morning. However, there is no way to prevent the computer from doing automatic updates, which is a problem. I set the automatic updates on it to 11 A.M., when I am usually not beta testing. I shut it down for now. Now I know the Windows Complete PC backup restore process works. One finds the Windows Complete PC backup program in the Control Panel under File Backup, there is a small link in the lower left hand corner of the page to take one to the page to make the image. I went outside, and I chatted with neighbors. It is warmer this morning. I dusted off the CVS desktop computer table that holds the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop, and I cleared off some of its loose debris that had accumulated. It still has a lot of wires on it including the power strip that is major junction in that neck of the woods in my computer setup to the left of the primary work computer. I dusted off the cigarette table in the kitchen. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat 8 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will then go to bed. George W. Bush unveils new painting of father CIO <888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 8:05 A.M. On the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer, I took out the pink Post It notes half inch thick package that I used to level it, since it was not thick enough underneath the Docking Station, and I put in a package of Jell-O artificial sweetener Tropical Fruit mix which is just the right thickness to level it. I then had to put the Netgear Wireless USB plug and the Blue Tooth USB plug on the right side, since their frequencies were interfering with the Microsoft Wireless USB mouse and USB plug on the 11121 left side. The mouse track device works really fast on it, if one did not want to use a mouse. Then on the Windows 10 Technical Preview, I installed a minor update, but instead of installing that minor update, it automatically installed what looked like a complete new update of Windows 10 Technical Preview which took about two hours. While it was doing that I put a good Logitech laptop web cam on the Dell Laptop for a second web cam along with the laptop built in cam, and I placed it on top of the Brother laser printer, so it has a wider view. I also checked my Iview tablets to make sure they are fully charged. I put out my hats and gloves and scarves on the brass and glass table in front of the www.harvard.edu chair. When the lengthy update of Windows 10 Technical Preview was complete, I checked it out. There was no way to change the update settings to chose what it does. Also the audio sound would not work. I tried uninstalling and installing the audio drivers and rebooting and that did not fix the problem. The audio still worked in Windows 7. Since I have made a Windows Complete PC backup yesterday morning after configuring the Dell Laptop, I am now restoring that backup to get the Audio working again. I will look to see if in the original install if there was an option to deselect automatic Windows upgrades. The second install had the automatic option to install upgrades at 2 A.M. which one could not change. However, the second upgrade was quite a bit faster than the original install. Dell only has Vista Audio drivers which will not work on Windows 10 Technical Preview. CIO <888> 11/11/14 Tuesday 2:50 A.M. All the Ebay pages says they are similar, I put the new generic power supply meant for the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop with it, and I put the Dell power supply that came with the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop back with it.

I ate two 3 ounce Perdue chicken Italian cutlets, steamed baby carrots and a baked sweet potato with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and two sliced tomatoes with celery salt, ground black pepper, Italians seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoes, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. Not to invade anyone's privacy, but one of my friends that visited me the most in the last 27 years until six years ago told me that his family whom are long term residents in this area were able to establish themselves with their connections with the http://www3.hbc.com/ , but that was so long ago living here way down here south of Canada, they probably lead simpler lives. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 11:25 P.M. I put a half inch thick package of pink Post It Notes underneath the Dell docking station to level it off for support. With the cooling fan underneath the front part of the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, it was a bit unstable. I went 11122 downtown to the Stop and Shop. I bought a four pack of blueberry muffins for $2.99, a loaf of Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread for $2.87, a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.04, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey ham for $5.99 a pound for $4.43, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $2.45, a 64 ounce container of Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice for $2.50, a 64 ounce container of Welch's pure grape juice for $3.99, a 9.5 ounce bag of Lays sour cream and onion potato chips for $2.50, a quart jar of Mount Olive kosher dill pickle spears for $2, two packages of reduced produce tomatoes for $1.91 and $1.53, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.06, and a sweet potato for .99 a pound for .91 for $32.18 total. While shopping I chatted with a relative of a former neighbor. While out in the parking lot, I chatted with a www.cl-p.com employee driving a white electric company truck. He told me that one can not weigh for than 350 pounds and work for them. They had construction going on in front of the Greenwich Library, so I detoured around to CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought two 45 ounce X-tra scented liquid detergent for $2 each and .25 tax for $4.25 total. I then sat out for a while further downtown. I chatted with two Starbucks regular customers as the store was closing. I then returned home, and I put away my groceries. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 7:45 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go downtown to get some groceries at the Stop and Shop and maybe check out the deja vue crowd at Starbucks and see if CVS has any bargains. I will not be walking Greenwich Avenue though. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 7:05 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.

I setup the Dell docking station with the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer, and I plugged the audio and microphone and USB devices into the docking station. I have room to still have the fan cooler underneath the laptop. It is tricky attaching the laptop to the docking station. I also put the new Microsoft wireless mouse with the setup. I started up the Dell Laptop in both partitions to install the drivers. It all seems to run fine. Since the docking station sits four inches behind the laptop, the fan cooler projects over the control panel switches, so one has to know which switches to press on the control panel, since I have not labeled them. It all seems to work just fine. I put the new generic power supply with the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop. I am using the Dell power supply with Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. I hung the blue sweat pants on the left side of the hallway with the other pair and long underwear bottoms. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 9:35 A.M. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 9:15 A.M. I setup the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook computer on the CVS laptop table on the left side of the left living room closet adjacent to the legal chair. It is simple to move the CVS laptop table, when I need to get in the left living room closet. I threw out some of the accumulated old mail that had piled up in the mail pile. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 8:15 A.M. I finished the Aeomi backup and shut down the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I threw out the garbage. I surveyed the area. There is frost on the cars on a cold sunny morning. I chatted with the building custodian. He has not gotten my work order yet from the Greenwich Housing Authority. Thus it will be later in the week at the earliest that he can fix the closet shelf hanging clothes system. He has about a dozen work orders ahead of me, and tomorrow is a holiday. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 7:05 A.M. On the Dell E6400 laptop, I am now doing the Aoemi backup of both partitions to the Rosewell 1 TB external hard drive. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 6:50 A.M. I took four large eggs, expire December 15, 2014, and I broke them into a mixing bowl, and I added two tablespoons of milk, and seasoned the mixture with celery salt and Italian seasoning and ground black pepper and grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and I whisked the mixture together. I then took my seasoned omelet pan, and I added two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of Smart Balance spread, and I heated the pan over medium electric burner heat until the fat bubbled, and then I added the egg mixture. Once the eggs mixture was hardened enough on the bottom, I flipped it over with a spatula to let the top side of the egg mixture cook, and I put three deli slices of American cheese on one side of the top side, and I flipped the other side over it, and I slid it onto a dinner plate and 11124 some more grated parmesan and Romano cheese on it, and I added a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread on it, and I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. <888> 11/10/14 Monday 5:55 A.M.

CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 5:40 A.M. I tried doing a Windows 10 Complete PC backup of both partitions of the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau to the Roswell 1 TB external hard drive, but since it has non standard boot partitions, it did not work. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 4:50 A.M. I woke up at 4:30 A.M.. I could not sleep. I ate one ounce of mixed nuts. I will now install the apps on the Dell E6400 laptop Win 10 partition. CIO <888> 11/10/14 Monday 2:40 A.M. On the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop on the second partition with the Windows 10 X64 Technical Preview, I mostly finished configuring it except for installing the apps in the apps list. I have all the other regular programs on it. I can not get its Bluetooth to recognize my Motorola Bluetooth ear piece, which it does in Windows 7. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a blueberry muffin and a 8 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 11/09/14 Sunday 10:55 P.M. I registered the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer with www.dell.com . I installed the latest bios update. I also installed six device driver updates from Dell. I ran the Dell System Diagnostics, the laptop passed all of the tests. Thus I think the Dell Laptop is in pretty good shape. I will now install the Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Preview X64 on a second partition on it. CIO <888> 11/09/14 Sunday 8:00 P.M.

The Motorola Blue Tooth Ear Piece is plugged into the Tripp-Lite Control panel plug turned on all the time. The Printer switch turns on the Brother HL-2240 laser printer. The Monitor switch turns on the power to the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, and the Aux 2 switch turns on the Logitech 2.1 speaker system. I put the Motorola Blue Tooth Ear Piece and the Logitech 2.1 Speaker System Control switch on the left side of the Dell Laptop. I connected up the Phillips power squid to the Asus Netbook, and I also installed 11125 the Logitech generic speaker system on the Asus Netbook.

I have it all configured and backed up. I will have put the Windows 10 X64 Technical Preview on it in a second partition at a later date. I have the Logitech speakers and Logitech headset hooked up to it along with the Netgear Wireless USB device and the Microsoft Wireless Mouse and the laptop cooler underneath it along with the Brother HL-2240 laser printer. It is good to go. It has its own built in wireless and built in camera. The Optimum App for television works just fine on it. CIO <888> 11/09/14 Sunday 7:55 A.M. I moved the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop computer to on top of the CVS laptop stand. I will move it elsewhere later. Since I never use the Samsung color laser printer except for Christmas letters, I moved it on top of the FIC server hooked up to the primary work computer. From that location, I moved the Brother HL-2240 laser printer to where the Samsung color laser printer was on top of the white book shelf at the kitchen entrance above the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. Once the backups are finished, I will connect it up the Dell laptop, so it will have printing capability from its USB port. CIO <888> 11/09/14 Sunday 7:10 A.M. I finished configuring the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I moved the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook computer to on top of the Samsung color laser printer on the bookcase at the kitchen entrance.

CIO <888> 11/09/14 Sunday 5:15 A.M. I chatted with a relative about 2:30 A.M.. I basically have the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop almost configured. However, I spent about two hours trying to get the TrendNet TW100-BRF114U print server to install, and I still can not get it 11126 to install. I tried setting it up as a TCP/IP network port, but that would not work either. The Dell laptop is 64 bit, which is probably why the 32 bit driver does not install. CIO <888> 11/08/14 Saturday 9:35 P.M. I burned two copies of the Windows 10 Technical Preview X64 to DVD to have available. I chatted with a relative. I did some configuration on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. 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 configure the Windows 7 partition on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. It seems to work just fine. The battery takes a total charge. Its keyboard also lights up. CIO <888> 11/08/14 Saturday 6:55 P.M. I chatted with a relative at noon. I woke up at 5:45 P.M.. I picked up the mail.

The Dell Latitude E6400 laptop works just fine. I shrank its hard drive by 40 GB, so I have room to install the Window 10 Technical Preview on a second partition. I am now backing up the original configuration to the Seagate GoFlex external hard drive. I will then make another backup to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive.

Read note at 1 A.M. about my plan for repairing the shelf clothes hanger, if the building custodian does not come up with a better plan. The building custodian has a lot of experience and tools, so he might be able to put in metal support brackets for the wire shelf into the aluminum studs which would be cheaper and probably just as good. <888> 11/08/14 Saturday 4:15 A.M.

Since it might be a while before the building custodian repairs the bedroom closet shelf and hanger assembly, I made the apartment more livable. I put the hanging clothes from the bedroom closet on top of the Ethan Allen recliner and in front of it, so the area between the oak dining table the mahogany bureau is opened up freeing up the computers to be used at those locations. I also took the items off the bed in the bedroom, and I stacked them up on the floor of the closet, so the bed with access on the right side is now available for use. The floor on the left side of the bed is covered with various items from the floor of the closet. I don't have enough money to do the repair myself, and what little money I have I need to live off for the rest of the month. CIO <888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:00 A.M. Basically my plan for the closet shelf repair is this. Install 2 X4 along the back wall with 8 four inch mollies with washers at their heads. One secured to the wall screw in another 2 X4 into with with three inch wood screws. Do the same thing on both sides. To fit the shelf, one has to cut the lower support iron on either end off a few inches. Install 1 X 6 with 8 mollies across the back wall about two feet beneath the shelf to support the five older lateral support brackets. Cut eight 2 X 4s to floor to bottom of shelf heigth less about 1.5 inches the width of two 1 X 6 boards used for support Cut 16, 1 X 6 X 12 and screw them centered into either end of the eight two by fours. Place support two by fours at the four corner of the shelf, and one front and rear a third of the distance from the side wall. Secure shelf to back wall and side wall two by fours with 3 inch steel bars held in with one inch screws Secure eight two by four studs with 3 inch bars at the top and and screws into the floor. That should be enough support for all of the extra heavy weight on the shelf clothes hanger. 11128 I updated the list of the items that I would need to repair my bedroom closet shelf and hanger assembly.

The http://www.schindler.com/com/internet/en/home.html said the freight elevator would be done in about a week. CIO <888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:30 A.M. I chatted with a relative again. I decided to leave the items on the bed, and if need be I can sleep on the floor. I will call the Greenwich Housing Authority at 8:30 A.M. and place a work order. I assume they have had this problem a number of times in the building, so I assume they know how fix it properly without me going to a whole lot of hassle. CIO <888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:05 A.M. I have the closet cleared out, and the old assembly disassembled, and a list made up. However, to support the closet shelf with wooden two by fours held in place with various hardware and the tools to do it is going to cost me close to $200 which I do not have at the moment. I will take the items that are on the bed, and put them back on the open closet floor, and I will thus have a place to sleep. I chatted with a friend. I will now clear off the bed. I guess I can call a relative to see if I can charge the cost at Home Depot to them, but because of the hacker problems at Home Depot, a relative might not want to let me use their credit card. I am extremely tired. I will now clear the bed. I chatted with another relative. CIO <888> 11/07/14 Friday 5:05 A.M. I have the bedroom closet cleared out. I put the closet shelf items on the bed, and I put the hanging clothes on the floor in the living room between the oak dining table and the mahogany bureau. It is an excessive amount of weight. It looks like the right side plastic support broke giving way causing the hole assembly to give way. www.homedepot.com opens at 7 A.M. in Port Chester, New York. I need to get some repair items, and probably some wood strips to make the closet assembly stronger. I will now make up a list of items that I need. CIO <888> 11/07/14 Friday 4:15 A.M. I have a major problem that I just discovered. My bedroom closet shelf with all of the clothes hanging underneath it has collapsed. I fixed and reinforced it over five years ago, but I guess there was too much weight on it. I will see what I can do about it. I might not be sleeping in my bed if I can not repair it. CIO <888> 11/07/14 Friday 4:00 A.M. I ate a blueberry muffin. I put $25 more on my AT&T GoPhone Account plus a $2.29 tax for $27.29 total.

I took the Netgear wireless USB device off the Asus netbook, and I set it on the CVS laptop computer table to have available to use with refurbished Dell laptop. I also put the new Alpine Swiss laptop bag underneath the CVS laptop table to have available to travel with the laptop a long distance like to Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue or the Greenwich Library, if I ever want to work on the internet in those two remote locations. Of course I also have Optimum WiFi, so there are probably a lot of other locations in this area that I could work at. For example, I would probably sit in the Greenwich Train station and pretend to be a commuter waiting for a train. I know they have Optimum WiFi at the top of Greenwich Avenue by the Pickwick Plaza, if I wanted to sit on a bench there and work on the internet. Other locations like the Greenwich Hospital 11134 also have free WiFi. Of course, I could also use one of my two Iview tablets or my Nokia Windows 8.1 GoPhone, but I am not too swift at using devices without keyboards. Someone ran my neighbor's door bell, and since I have the same wireless door bell system, my door bell also rang.

When one is basically a night time person, the daytime people tend to be a bit of a distraction. Still I manage to keep busy in my own simple ways. I guess because daytime people see a lot of people in metropolitan areas, they have a sense of self importance. Night time people in suburban areas with so few people awake are more like rural people waiting for the next odd thing to happen in a rather quiet tranquil atmosphere. Still with the internet, one can manage to keep busy at night, where as a lot of daytime people waste a lot of time just navigating around each other which takes time.

Return home to Oslo, Norway for the winter for $151 http://dealnews.com/Norwegian-Airlines-1-way-fares-to-Europe-from-149-/1184180.html . Of course, when I went there in February 1983 for a few weeks, there was six feet of snow 11136 on the ground, but by the time I left around St. Patrick's Day, it had all melted. The Norwegians are very cheerful friendly people in their own country. However, it is an extremely expensive country. I did get to go to a concert in the Noble Peace Hall for free, and one sees a lot of Nordic people with the same look as other Nordic people in this hemisphere. I did learn that they are very strict about people drinking alcohol and driving, and I think for the first offence, it is 15 years in jail. However, if one is not use to seeing lots of guards with machine guns, and walking freely around them on the palace grounds, they also take security seriously. I did notice they all like having hanging plants in their window hung from macramé twine of some sort. There is a law in Norway that the help does not have to eat salmon more than three times a week. They think Kellogg's corn flakes are a gourmet treat. It really is not to cold in Oslo, because they get a bit of the Gulf Stream into the Fjord, but the rest of the country particularly to the north can be a lot colder. However, they did not let me move there, since two people that looked like Ronald Reagan and Casper Weinberger showed up in my Best Western Hotel lobby behind the palace to discuss the matter, but they never actually chatted with me, so they maybe thought I was Norwegian. One Norwegian told me I should visit Glen Eagles sometime in Scotland. However, since I had spent most of my money traveling after I built the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island, by the time I got to Oslo, I was too low on funds to do anything but walk around on an empty stomach eating a few Swedish Wasa Crisps a day. Thus if one goes to Norway, one needs money, unless one happens to be Norwegian and has access to the Norwegian Social Services System which tends to be very generous to its own people. I did notice that unlike Sweden, one does not see that many fair haired people. The Norwegians are also very stocky. The Town Hall in Oslo is the most expensive brick building in the world, so it must have some sort of special features that I did not notice. Royal Dutch Shell and IBM have big office buildings there. The American Embassy that I visited was an impressive structure. They were very confused why I wanted to move there, and when I showed up there, a large section of the population took off on a dozen cruise ships to points further south. Fred Olsen of Olsen Travel runs a large tourist business out of Oslo, Norway with worldwide travel. However, when I visited the library at the University of Oslo, I knew I would be lost right away, since I do not know how to speak, read or write Norwegian. There was a student pub in the basement of the oldest church in Oslo, and I visited there one Saturday night, and I guess nobody knew I was from somewhere else. The Norwegians have a ski jump on the north side of town, along with the Frogmore Park where the Russians have their Embassy that looks like a vintage French Chateau. They were advertising George Du Boeuf Wine when I was there. The downtown area of Oslo is enjoyable to stroll in, but like all European Cities and villages that I have visited, one is left wandering around without much purpose, until one returns home. I did see a lot of Scrimshaw for sale in Oslo. I guess the Norwegians did not realize that I was trying to find a peaceful remote area of the world to live in away from the turmoil of the Western Hemisphere. However, I was not attuned to their viewpoint of us, so if I chatted with anyone important or expressed any viewpoint, it was one of a tired traveler. Still despite the circumstances, I enjoyed the trip. When I returned to the JFK airport in Manhattan, since I did not have any money, I spent two weeks camped out at the SAS terminal there, until I called a friend where I built the garage apartment, and I took the train to his place on Long Island, and he gave me a hundred dollar bill that I used to fly 11137 back to www.nantucket.net , where I worked until I returned to Greenwich in December 1983 after brief side trips late that fall to Florida and Toronto and Manhattan. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 9:30 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I drove over to the New Lebanon School in Byram, and I was one of the first people to vote. I chatted with a couple of locals while waiting in line. I then drove over to downtown Greenwich. I chatted with a dog walker. I walked over to Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I then drove over to CVS. I bought a two pack of one liter bottles of Crest Pro-Health multi-protection mouth wash for $13.79 both and .88 tax for $14.67 total. I then bought two 7 ounce CVS Sensitive Skin Shave Gel for one for $2.77 and the second half price for $1.38, and two 5.8 ounce Crest Pro-Health toothpaste for $6.49 and one for half price for $3.24 and less a $3 off coupon from the previous purchase and .69 tax for $11.57 total. I then put my purchases in the Volvo wagon. I chatted with a local. I then went back into CVS, and I toured the store some more. I then bought three 160 count two ply boxes of Kleenex for $4 less a dollar off CVS card coupon and .19 tax for $3.19 total. I then bought buy one get one free of Gold Emblem Deluxe low salt 17.5 ounce mixed nuts for $13.79 both. I then chatted with another local walker about the price of tea in China. I then drove over to the http://www.greenwichhardware.com/index.php , and I bought one 8 inch 22 watt Satco florescent circular bulb for $6.99 and one 12 inch 32 watt Satco florescent circular light bulb for $9.99 less a $1.70 ten percent discount and .97 tax for $16.25 total. I chatted with them also about the price of tea in China. I then returned to Chez De Vinci and filed this most informative report. I will now put away my purchases. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 5:30 A.M. I will now get ready to go out and vote at 6 A.M., when the polls open at the New Lebanon School in Byram, Connecticut. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 4:55 A.M. In terms of Saudi Arabia, my father once worked for King Wilkinson which was a Dutch engineering company in Saudi Arabia. I think they worked on building oil refineries. When I was in Key West, Florida during the winters of 1977 and 1978, I knew Izi who was from Saudi Arabia, and he used to sit on a prayer rug at Louie's patio just south of the Casa Marina Hotel. Louie's patio was where the windsurfers hung out along with Mel Fisher's children and a few friends of mine. When I flew down to Ronald Reagan's inaugural on a $40 Braniff airlines jet ticket from J.F.K. airport to National Airport in Washington D.C. on Inaugural Day in 1981, the only other passenger was the Saudi Arabian Oil minister who I did not bother. Since I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983, I have met two people who told they were Saudi Arabian, Prince Bin Azis. Once at Tucson's bar, when I was first getting into personal computers about 24 years ago, I chatted with the son of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Nations. I think his name was Auri or something like that. I chatted with him about Digital Computers of Lowell, Massachusetts. Since he was driving a $150,000 BMW and had a big blond male body guard from Virginia, I tended to believe him. A friend of mine had done landscaping at his new house on North Street, and told me they had 17 bathrooms. Another time, I met Asis who was from Saudi Arabia, and he lived on the same street in Cos Cob where Dorothy Bush's maid lived, and he worked at the perfume counter at Sac's Fifth Avenue in Stamford, and he also spoke French but very 11138 little English. I showed him my apartment setup and told him Daniel Construction had worked on building the Air Force base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That is about the limit of my Saudi connections. A British friend of the family also knew T.H. Lawrence of Lawrence of Arabia fame. I have never been in the middle east except western Turkey and also I have visited Lazarote http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=lanzarote&qpvt=lanzarote&FORM=IARRSM whi ch is now a Saudi Arabian vacation spot of the coast of Morocco in the Canary Island. That was in the winter and spring of 1972, when I was a student in Europe. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 4:15 A.M. Good news, I unplugged Rowenta 4 slice toaster, and I slid out its too bottom panels to remove the crumbs, and then I shook it upside down over the garbage can to remove anymore crumbs. Now the right two slice side of the toaster now works again. I bought it about ten years ago as a 70% off discount item from the clearance shelf of the Greenwich Hardware store. I think it was normally about $80, and I paid about $30 for it; so it is a very good toaster. My Scottish, Saudi Arabian, Dutch, and U.S. Air Force flags also came from the same 70% off discount shelf. I got the large British flag for $15 at the Merry Go Round Mew Thrift Shop. I found the Swedish flag for $5 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. The rest of the flags, like the U.S.A. and Bermuda flags, I bought off the internet. Most of the small flags came from the Greenwich Hardware store. The very small Norwegian flag on the small sterling silver stand was about $5 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. My heavy duty steering wheel lock and my folding metal shopping cart also came from the 70% off shelf at the Greenwich Hardware store. Once they downsized to their smaller basement store, they eliminated the 70% off shelf. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 2:55 A.M.

The only thing the higher resolution blurs some time, and I had to lower the resolution for the monitor in the setting to 800 X 600, and it is stable. When I had an earlier version of Linux or OpenSUSE on it, it supported a higher resolution, but when I would install the updates, it would crash. I do not think the latest version of OpenSUSE shows a menu, where one can use the install procedure below. I think I will take a nap for a while.

On the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook laptop computer, I have a new 80 GB IDE hard drive in it with Windows XP Professional on it. I used the free Paragon Partition program that was already on it, and I shrank the drive freeing up 25 GB of unused hard drive space. I then downloaded and burned to DVD, the latest version of www.ubuntu.com 32 bit version for Desktop. However, when one puts the DVD in the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook, it give a processor error message. I used this method to boot it http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1546 . I then chose to install it choosing the more tricky method to install it to the unused space creating a 5 GB swapper space and 20 GB of install space. One has to study the installation methods to do that, but it is not too complicated. It is now installing Ubuntu 14.04. Using that method, I guess I could also install it on the Epox computer too.

Where that $54 million dollar house is for sale Greenwich peninsula property lists for $54 million on the waterfront, one can search http://www.greenwichct.org/government/departments/tax_collector/ for Vista Drive to see how much the taxes are in that neighborhood. They pay a lot of money to watch sea gulls come and go. Of course this former bird watcher from Steamboat Road was never given credit for the 30 or more years I spent keeping an eye on the neighborhood at considerable cost and time for myself. Of course, if one searches property taxes on Steamboat Road, it is not too cheap either. I lived on Steamboat Road from June 1984 to December 1989, I used to pay about $450 a month for a studio apartment at 700 Steamboat Road, when the town was not too prosperous, when I first came off www.nantucket.net .

CIO <888> 11/01/14 Saturday 10:20 P.M. On Thursday May 25, 2000, I was shot at by a sniper at Tod's Point, and I made note of it in my notes at the time. I might have a hard copy of it somewhere in my files, but the note was deleted by a hacker or intruder over time. I recreated the note to the best of my ability about 11 years later. A copy of the recreated note follows: On Thursday May 25, 2000, I had my usual medical appointment at 3 P.M.. Afterwards, since it was a nice cool day, I drove over to Old Greenwich to Todd's Point in my 1976 white Volvo 4 door sedan. I saw a teenage boy riding a bicycle with an orange wind 11144 breaker, and I also saw a women with Queen Elizabeth's look walking by the wind surfing beach area with a riding crop. I parked behind the bushes at the southwest parking area between 4 and 4:30 P.M.. I walked out to the picnic area, and I sat at a picnic bench watching water fowl on the waterfront. I did not notice any boats on the waterfront. I sat there for about 20 minutes. When I was walking out there, a large chunk of bark fell off a tree limb above the path in front of me. The tree limb was about 12 feet above my head. When I returned back down the pathway, I noticed at the base of that tree, there was a 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch square florescent orange target marker nailed into the base of the tree with a galvanized nail about eight inches off the ground. I suddenly thought that there could be a sniper on the waterfront shooting at me, and they had knocked the bark off the tree limb at that point. I told an undercover Greenwich Police office in the southwest parking area who was chatting with four teenage boys. As I departed the park, I told Reilly the gate attendant. I then stopped by the Riverside Post Office, and I told the postal clerk. I then drove back towards town, and when I was crossing the Indian Field Road Bridge going south bound over the turnpike, a man in a 1954 turquoise blue and dark blue Ford Station wagon with a surf board on the roof and South Carolina license plates waved at me. I had seen the car the previous summer around Greenwich. I told the police baseball team at Bruce Park including the largest police officer. I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I told the desk at the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I escorted one of their staff to their car at the bottom of Steamboat Road. I noticed a young blond teenage boy getting off the Indian Harbor Yacht Club launch with a set of golf clubs, which seemed unusual. Technically they could have contained a weapon. I then drove over to Grass Island, and I told several local fishermen at Grass Island. I was told later by one of the veterans with the new laser scopes, "There is No Such Thing as Kentucky Wind Anymore." Which I guess means the new equipment does not miss. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I told the reference librarian. I noticed when driving back home to Byram on West Putnam Avenue that somebody that I know locally whom is suppose to be near blind was walking fast out of the Belle Haven area carrying two large duffle bags in front of the Pray Volkswagen dealership. I know the person is not as blind as he pretends, since I have seen him casually reading his watch dial many times, when people are not watching. I then returned home, and I called the Greenwich Police a few times to report facts as I could remember. At the time there were several rifle shot holes in the No Clamming signs at the southwest picnic area at Todd's Point, which is ample evidence that somebody or sniper was shooting at targets there. Later on that month, the signs were replaced with new signs. During that period John F. Kennedy junior was a frequent jogger at Todd's Point. Nobody ever interviewed me, or paid any attention to my reports. At the time Donald Trump www.trump.com had a house on the Waterfront in Indian Harbor, and I called him up at his office, and I told him what happened. That day was cooler, so as I recall, I was also thinner at about 175 pounds. I recalling wearing my New Zealand Brook Brothers brown leather bomber jacket with my olive green Australian canvas bush hat. I do not recall whether I was wearing blue jeans or not, but I usually dress up for my medical appointment. One local waterfront resident from South Africa told me that the local lobstermen shoot at each other all of the time trying to protect their lobster traps from poaching. Before my medical appointment that day, I had been down on the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I had chatted with a new Greenwich resident from India named Dr. Palai? and he was wearing a black turban, and he was with a 11145 younger woman. I only saw him once more after that, and that was at the Japanese restaurant on Greenwich Avenue, when I passed by. Possibly the sniper attempt had something to do with Bhopal disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , since Warren Anderson the president of Union Carbide lived in Greenwich at the time. However, there are a lot of shady Mafiosi characters around the waterfront in Greenwich, Connecticut; so it could have been any of a number of other individuals. There was also a Ku Klux Klan rally in Hartford, Connecticut that weekend. That also would have been around the time there was graduation at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Around that period, there was also an expert big game hunter around the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and as I recall he said he was from Harrison, New York.

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.

CIO <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 11155 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.

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+Islan d%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.

A day trip to New Canaan can be very fun in this area, but it is just as expensive there as it is here, so don't expect any bargains. The http://www.rogershermaninn.com/ in New Canaan has a bit of Old Yankee charm, and it is near to the local churches, if one feels like going to church. They call the Village Green in New Canaan, "God's Little Acre", but alas having lived there before, one can get a bit of Cabin Fever there during the Long Winter's Night particularly, when it snows. 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.

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. CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 11:30 P.M. The TrendNet USB Ethernet Adapter driver installed on the Lenovo ThinkCentre with Windows 10 Technical Preview, but one has to reboot to get it to work. I now have both the motherboard LAN and Motherboard Audio and Motherboard Video Disabled. It seems to be working fine. 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. The WinFlash Bios Update would not work with Windows 10 Technical Preview. CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 5:40 P.M. I picked up the mail. I delivered a Fedex Express mail envelope to a neighbor next door.

I happened to notice while I was sitting downtown at the top of Greenwich Avenue in one of my usual observation places, that there was a big truck that services this area called https://www.freshdirect.com/ that delivers food into this area, if one does not want to face the hoards of food shoppers in the grocery store at this time of year. 11169 However, if you feel the need for some Christmas cheer from Vermont, you can always buy some http://www.vermontpuremaple.com/buy_maple_syrup.htm .

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 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 <888> 12/19/14 Friday 8:40 A.M.

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.

Besides that for the primary work computer, I have a spare new Microsoft 7000 wireless desktop system and a spare new Microsoft 6000 wireless desktop system. With all of my typing, I do wear out keyboards and mice over time. CIO <888> 12/13/14 Saturday 7:50 P.M. I finished installing the setup as described below. I did not use the Belkin control panel, but I used a power strip to turn in the Dell Latitude 4600i desktop on the far right side of the desk. The power strip in on the desk between the Dell and the IBM ThinkCentre. 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 new spare SATA DVD/RW drives for it, and until I get it, I do not know what video card, I might try to use in it, since I do not know how its motherboard and slots are configured. CIO <888> 12/13/14 Saturday 5:05 P.M. I threw out the garbage and the umbrella shipping box. I picked up the mail. I put the new umbrella behind the apartment entrance door.

I will put the Dell Latitude 4600i computer on the right of the bedroom desk with the Eizo monitor on top of it. I will take out the SIIG audio card from the Dell computer and put in the Creative Labs PCI 5.1 audio card. I will save the SIIG card for the Lenovo tower. I will use the third Eizo monitor for the IBM ThinkCentre in the center, and will used the 19 inch Acer monitor for the Lenovo tower. Depending on what type of video card the Lenovo tower takes, I have a number of options. The Abit computer has a TV card that I will also connect up to the coaxial cable at that location.

I then drove over to the Greenwich Library, and I checked out my home web site on their computers, and it still a bit slow coming up. I chatted with three reference librarians.

I am now doing an Aomei backup of both partitions to the Seagate 1.8 TB USB external hard drive. CIO <888> 12/12/14 Friday 5:00 A.M. Since the Lenovo I ordered is a tower model, instead of setting it up in place of the FIC server which has virtually not traffic, I probably will put it on the oak dining table where the Epox computer is setup with the Windows 10 Technical Preview on it. I will move the Epox computer into the bedroom where the Dell Latitude 4600i tower computer is, and I will store the Dell on the floor of the right side of the bedroom closet. Depending on its motherboard configuration, I might be able to add a spare video card that I have or one from the Dell along with the SIIG audio card from the Dell and its LAN card. I have two spare PCI Xpress 1 X16 video cards and the Dell has an AGP video card. I do have a spare copy of Windows 7 Home and a spare copy of Windows 8 Pro that I could also put on it, but initially I will probably set it up as a beta machine to see how it runs first.

In the two winters, I spent in Key West in the winter of 1977 and 1978, I only drank two beers the entire time. I did drink one or two cups of coffee a day and a bit of orange juice.

I think in the British Navy, the sailors are allowed a Rum Ration once a month. CIO <888> 12/12/14 Friday 12:10 A.M. I woke up at 1:15 A.M.. I ate my last blueberry muffin. The blueberry muffins at the A&P Fresh are about 50% larger and much tastier than the Stop and Shop blueberry muffins. At both places, they are a dollar apiece. I tried to install too many updates at one time on the Windows 8.1 second partition on the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner, so I am now trying to install them in a three install process. <888> 12/12/14 Friday 12:10 A.M.

I chatted with a friend. I did two loads of wash, and I have 40 minutes to go on two dry cycles. CIO <888> 12/10/14 Wednesday 4:40 P.M. I chatted with a local walker. I will now put clean linens on my bed. I will then shower and clean up. I will next throw out the garbage and the recycle material. I will then water the plants. CIO <888> 12/10/14 Wednesday 3:15 P.M. I woke up at 10 A.M., when a neighbor knocked on my door. I had another telephone call at noon from a Chinese man from Honk Kong trying to mess up my computer. 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 3:05 A.M. http://www.urbandictionary.com/ . I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a blueberry muffin. I will then go to bed. 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 11189 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> 12/10/14 Wednesday 12:25 A.M.

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 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/greenwichjewelry-store.aspx is now opened in the old Putnam Trust Bank building.

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 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=Q BIR . 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 11201 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> 12/04/14 Thursday 12:50 A.M. I put a 3M hook on the right side of the AOC monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I put another 3M hook on the left side of the touch screen monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. I put two new Air Wick 6 ounce Island Paradise scent refills in the two Glade automatic scent machines in the living room and the bathroom. CIO <888> 12/03/14 Wednesday 11:50 P.M. http://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/1201412021506/secrets-of-prince-william-andkate-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 11202 <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. I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought a Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and the prize was a $1,000, and I had a Jack and a Queen, but the dealer had a King, so I lost again. They are putting the Holiday Lights up in front of the Senior and the Arts Center with a cherry picker. I then went by the Stop and Shop.

I will put clean linens on my bed. I will then shower and clean up. CIO <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/queenfabiola 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.

For individuals whom can not afford the expensive $55 a year membership at www.costco.com in nearby Port Chester, New York; one can always get a free day pass at the customer service counter there to browse the store, and not buy anything. Thus it would be a good exercise walk around the rich people in the area. CIO <888> 12/02/14 Tuesday 4:10 P.M. I chatted with somebody yesterday that takes Green Tea pills for health reasons, and the individual was very speedy. I think one needs to take decaffinated green tea pills. One green tea pill is the equivalent of 14 cups of green tea, which would make one a little bit speedy, if they were not decaffinated. 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.

Thus it now has a monitor again. CIO <888> 12/01/14 Monday 10:25 P.M. I took the DVI cable off the AOC monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I replaced it with a DVI -VGA cable that I had. I hooked the DVI cable up to the IBM Graphics card in the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom connected to the Acer 19 inch LCD monitor, and I hooked up the Eizo monitor from the Dell Latitude D4600 desktop to the IBM Graphics video port on the IBM ThinkCentre. I changed the CMOS settings to PCI, Dual, and split memory for the video. The IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom now boots both monitors, and it works just fine. CIO <888> 12/01/14 Monday 9:25 P.M. I found the solution to the problem here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/migr-68906 . In the Notes, it says that one can not use a DVI to VGA adapter, and thus one has to use a DVI cable. 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 installed the IBM ThinkCentre video card in the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom with the DVI to VGA adapter, and I tried it both as the primary and secondary monitor, but although it is recognized, when the system boots, once 11207 Windows 7 boots, it goes blank. 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. I left the video setup to the motherboard Intel Graphics Connector. I did find this http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht005263?tabName=Solutions . I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 12/01/14 Monday 4:25 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with a neighbor. I drove over on I-95 East to http://www.vioc.com/ on East Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut. 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. I bought a 16 GB Sandisk USB pen drive for $6.99 and .44 tax for $7.43 total. I chatted with one of the sales associates about computers there. I then returned to lower downtown Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I chatted with a couple driving an old Jaguar roadster. I chatted with somebody from Egypt that works at the Versailles restaurant. I toured the Greenwich Train Station. I chatted with a local outside the Senior and the Arts Center. I used the bathroom there. I chatted with another local who only gets nine miles per gallon in his 28 year old www.ford.com Taurus. I chatted with the other local. I chatted with http://www.followthatcupcake.com/ who had a vintage Dutch bakery bicycle cart to sell his cupcakes from. I gave them some information about the Dutch in this area. I chatted with someone from Georgia. I returned home. I chatted with two neighbors. The order with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400111899561076304112 on the order for http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Lenovo-39J9334-ADD2-R-DVI-I-PCI-EThinkCentre-Video-Connection-Adapter-PCI-e-/271007917279 for $13 with free shipping arrived. CIO <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
