CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 11:45 A.M.: Balmoral Collection from Balmoral Castle and Estate, online shop, gift shop, holiday cottages, fishing, scotland. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 11:40 A.M.: I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . Instead of tuna fish, I used the last tin of King Oscar sardines that I chopped. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Land-O-Lakes Pepperjack cheese. I used two plum tomatoes in the salad that I cut into slivers. I used all of the other regular ingredients, but I did not use homemade hummus. I ate the salad with a glass of iced tea. I put the tea in the refrigerator to become iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 10:00 A.M.: America Supports You and CNN.com - Time overtaking World War I vets - Nov 11, 2005 . CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 9:50 A.M.: Yesterday, I got a $10 off $20 purchase at Staples card. I will use it some time in the future. I chatted with a relative. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 9:35 A.M.: I was up at 3:30 A.M. this morning. I did two loads of laundry, and I put clean linens on the bed in the bedroom. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I did my house cleaning and watering the plants. I over watered the large pathos plant on the mahogany bureau in the living room, so I took everything off the bureau, and I dried it. I then waxed the bureau and cleaned the glass on top of it. Instead of having the pink pattern Chinese rice bowl inside of the larger blue and yellow Chinese rice bowl, I put the small pink Chinese rice bowl beneath the larger blue and yellow Chinese rice bowl with the large pathos plant inside of it, so the pathos plant sits higher on the mahogany bureau. I also dusted the other items on the mahogany bureau. I threw out the garbage. I am making a fresh batch of www.geocities.com/mikelscott/icetea.htm . Yesterday, when I was out, I ran Norton SpeedDisk on the C: drive. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 8:05 P.M.: I chatted with the Key West Hotel Resorts & Florida Keys Beach Accommodations - Casa Marina Resort Key West at their alternative telephone number at 1-305-296-1677, and they still do not have electricity, but they hope to be reopened by November 20, 2005. I chatted with a relative. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. I will do my laundry and house cleaning and watering the plants, when I wake up tomorrow. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 6:50 P.M.: I ate two scoops of Edy's Caramel and Praline Crunch low fat frozen yogurt. I decided not to put the burgundy pattern oriental reproduction carpet outside the apartment entrance, so I put the light color rag rug back in its place instead. When it gets dirty, which it does in the winter at the apartment entrance, the light color rag rug can be easily washed. I put the burgundy pattern oriental reproduction carpet underneath my swivel computer chair with wheels, since the apartment Dutch blue wool carpeting might get worn at that location underneath the wheels of the computer chair. Also the carpet at that location has the edge is beginning to fray. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 6:05 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Arnold Bread outlet, and I bought a six pack of New York multiseed bagels for $1.85. I then drove down by the waterfront. I saw one of my former neighbors, and another long time resident of the waterfront who lives where I once lived is doing well. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and I toured the store. Somebody else got a complete set of new queen size sheets for $2.50, before I could get them. I then went to my 3 P.M. appointment. I then went back by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop again, and as mentioned before everything is still 50% off. I bought a 20 inch by 4 foot dark green and rose pattern oriental reproduction rug for $5. They have two of those old brass pedestal stand up four bulb reading lights for $10 apiece, but I have no room for them. I once had one that I use to sit in and read underneath its bulbs in my former red leather reading chair, but I put the red leather reading chair out by the dumpster many moons ago, and I gave the brass pedestal reading lamp with Victorian style lamp shade to Scott Nelson over in Irvington, New York, so he could have some light in his apartment. One friend though my apartment looked like a Vanderbilt private railroad car, and Scott Nelson thought my apartment had a Rockefeller style. He would know since he use to do food catering at the Rockefeller house in North Tarrytown, New York. Of course maybe they never let him out of the kitchen. I then returned home. I took up the burgundy oriental rug at the kitchen entrance, and I put it outside at my apartment door entrance on top of the basket weave mat from South Carolina. I took up the light rag mat at that location, and I threw it in the wash basket to be washed. I then put the new dark green and rose pattern oriental reproduction carpet at the kitchen entrance. I then moved the folding shopping cart from that location, and I hung it on the hook on the inside of the bathroom door, and there is just enough clearance on it wheels, so the door can be closed. I organized the back packs on the wire rack at the apartment entrance, so they are neater. Without having the folding shopping cart at the kitchen entrance, there is more room for access into the kitchen, but the bathroom entrance is now a bit more narrow. Here are some photos

Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 12:50 P.M.: I have a 3 P.M. appointment. I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up and go out. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 12:45 P.M.: I toasted two slices of Arnold multigrain bread, and I spread them with Hellmann's mayonnaise, and I put on three full 1/32nds inch thick slices of turkey, 3 five inch by nine inch folded 1/16ths inch thick slices of Stop and Shop Swiss cheese, four 3/32nds inch thick slices of onion, about a half dozen small spinach leaves and pepper and sea salt and the top slices of bread, and I cut it in half across. I ate the sandwich with a glass of iced tea. I then drank a cup of green tea with lemon and a package of Splenda. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 11:45 A.M.: I threw out some garbage. I picked up my mail. I ran Ad-awareSE. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 11:25 A.M.: I tried using the HP DeskJet 840C printer, but the color cartridge does not print out very well, although it does work after I clean it, but then the red color does not seem to work when I print. I switched the HP Photo Smart 1000 printer to the right of the primary computer, and I put the HP DeskJet 840C printer on top of the Northgate Syntax backup computer. I have both set up to work with USB and the Siemens router LPT printer port box. Since they both use the same ink cartridges, and I do not think I need to put a new color cartridge in the HP DeskJet 840C, and I can use it for black printing. I will try cleaning it a little bit more some time in the future. I do have two spare black and two spare color cartridges, but one of the color ones is still back ordered. I also fixed my printer port box, where one of the attachment thread posts came lose, I reattached it. I also removed the old Colorado Backup tape drive from underneath the coffee table beneath the primary computer along with its power cord and serial cable, and I put it on top of the printers in the bedroom. I also removed from underneath the primary computer coffee table, the floppy disk holder containing 3.5 inch floppy disk programs, and I put it on the bedroom sideboard. I printed out 50 calling cards, and I put ten of them in my wallet. I ran Norton Win Doctor 2003. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 6:00 A.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note: <888> 11/10/05 Thursday 4:30 A.M.: I woke up at 10 P.M. last evening. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I went back to bed until 3:30 A.M.. I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes. I will now go through my email. CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 2:35 P.M.: I called www.ezinkjets.com about the HP color ink cartridge HP Deskjet 842C EZinkjets.com - Compatible Ink Jet and Toner Printer Cartridges for Canon, Lexmark, HP and Epson Stylus Printers. , and they told me it should be in tomorrow and ship tomorrow. I am still waiting for the two black and the one color cartridge for the Lexmark x85 printer, scanner, copier. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 2:10 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I picked up the lawn table umbrella from behind the dumpster, and I put it in the back of my Volvo station wagon. I also brought down my folding shopping cart, and I put it in the rear seat area of the Volvo. I then went downtown, and I walked upper Greenwich Avenue first which is bad luck I guess because on the way down Greenwich Avenue somebody had let their dog whom had runny poop leave about a half dozen messes on the sidewalk. I stepped in one of them, and I spent the rest of my walk trying to get it off my shoe wiping it at various locations. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I toured the ever busy Greenwich Train station. I sat out at various locations. I then drove down by the waterfront, and I chatted with one of the regular fishermen. I was told that one of the other regular fishermen needs a liver transplant, and he also had a family tragedy in his family recently. I mentioned that NRL Monterey Satellite Photos had not worked for the last three days, but now it is working again. However, Mount St. Helens (Johnston Ridge Observatory) Webcam Loop shows a lot of blue recently, but it does show a few frames. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and I donated the lawn table umbrella. Everything continues to be half price. I bought a 30 inch by 5 foot Swedish flag for $1.50. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought three 96 ounce containers of Tropicana Premium orange juice with calcium for $2.79 each, a 28.2 ounce Dijorno 4 cheese self rising pizza for $4.99, two 12 ounce boxes of Stop and Shop fix cakes for $1.99 each, two four packs of 6 ounce cans of Chicken of the Sea solid white albacore tuna fish for $4.44 a four pack, four 18 ounce cans of Campbell's Chunky New England Clam chowder for .99 each, a 32 ounce jar of Hellmann's low fat mayonnaise for $3.79, a 32 ounce bottle of Borden's real lemon juice for $2.19, 2 pounds of organic onions for $2.19, a quart of plum tomatoes for $2.99 less a $5 off coupon for over $40 purchase for $36.34 total. I then returned home, and I picked up my mail, and I put away the groceries. I made room in the freezer by taking out the bag of ice. I threw out the ice in the dumpster. I cleaned the dog poop off the bottom of my sneaker with hot water, scrub brush, and white vinegar. I opened a 18 ounce can of Campbell's New England clam chowder, and I put it in a microwave proof pot with lid, and I heated it on the reheat cycle of the General Electric microwave oven, and I put it in a large cobalt blue soup bowl, and I added a couple of handfuls of Arnold Seasoned croutons, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea. I chatted with a relative. The relative is now in Vero Beach, Florida TCPalm: Press Journal with other relatives. I was told that there are 30,000 homes without electricity in Broward County, Florida and 16,000 homes without electricity in Palm Beach County, Florida. My relative was having the central air conditioning repaired. My relative's dock was also damaged again in hurricane activity earlier this summer. Here is a picture of the Swedish flag that I bought today http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/mike-scott-apartment-swedish-flag-110905.JPG . CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 7:00 A.M.: I toasted two slices of Arnold multigrain bread, and I spread them with Hellmann's mayonnaise, and I put on three full 1/32nds inch thick slices of turkey, 3 five inch by nine inch folded 3/32nds inch thick slices of Stop and Shop Swiss cheese, four 3/32nds inch thick slices of onion, and pepper and sea salt and the top slices of bread, and I cut it in half across. I ate the sandwich with a glass of iced tea. I will now shut down the computer, and I will shower and clean up and go out. CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 6:15 A.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 6:00 A.M.: I do not need this, but someone else might need it Overstock.com, save up to 80% every day! Luxury 600 Thread Count White Goose Down Comforter . CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 5:30 A.M.: I searched www.google.com for "Full Fitted Sheets", and I came up with www.designerlinensoutlet.com , and I bought two Full Size Fitted Angelica Fitted Sheets for $9.99 each DesignerLinensOutlet.com - Angelica Fitted Sheet for $19.98 less the New Customer Coupon "NEWTENOFF" for 10% off for $2 off plus $4.95 UPS ground shipping for $22.93 total. Their mail contact is Grove City, Ohio, so maybe they ship from their. I have two fairly new top sheets, but my bottom fitted sheets are a bit old. These are also available with free shipping, but in full size they were only available in khaki Ultrasoft Flannel Sheets: Bedding and Bath at L.L.Bean . CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 4:20 A.M.: BBC NEWS | UK | A Royal triumph? and BBC NEWS | UK | Charles in US climate change plea and The Prince of Wales . CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 4:00 A.M.: Greenwich Time - Lash re-elected first selectman . CIO Note: <888> 11/09/05 Wednesday 3:55 A.M.: I went outside after the last message, and I chatted with some neighbors. I had a telephone message from a friend that needed this web address to order Lobsters from Maine Live Maine Lobsters & Fresh Seafood, direct from Cape Porpoise Lobster Company in Maine . I called up the friend, and I gave the friend the information. I then went to bed. I woke up at 11:30 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I recharged the four AA metal hydride Radio Shack rechargeable batteries that I use in my Vivitar digital camera while I was asleep, and I put them back in the camera. I cleaned the outer filter on the Honeywell Hepa air purifier. I washed it in hot water and dishwashing detergent, and then I rinsed it in hot water, and then I squeezed it out, and then I reinstalled it. I then took the back cover off the back of my 10 year old 20 inch Proscan television in the bedroom, and I vacuumed out any dust and build up. It did not have any white dust in it from humidifiers, since I have not used humidifiers, since I last cleaned it out. I then reattached it with the incoming cable without a cable box into the JVC VCR and the out cable from the JVC VCR to the B cable input on the Proscan television. I have another cable from my living room DVD VCR going into the A cable input on the Proscan television. Thus if one changes inputs from B to A with the setup button of the RCA universal remote, one can watch DVDs on it. To use the JVC VCR, one has to set the Proscan television on Channel 3. I put into AAA alkaline batteries in the RCA Universal remote replacing two of the heavy duty ones, and the other two are AAA alkaline batteries. I then used the autoprogram feature of the Proscan television in setup to reprogram it. Although it works with the RCA Universal Remote, the new digital cable television does let one use an older television without the cable box, and one does not get as many channels, but and one also has to enter each channel separately with the remote control, and one can not channel surf up and down. I usually only use the bedroom television to watch the Turner movie channel on Channel 76 and occasionally news, so that is not a problem. CIO Note: <888> 11/08/05 Tuesday 2:05 P.M.: I chatted with a relative. I ate a toasted bagel with olive oil and iced tea. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. I will go outside briefly first. CIO Note: <888> 11/08/05 Tuesday 12:50 P.M.: I went out after the last message, and I went by the New Lebanon school in Byram, Connecticut, and I voted in our local town elections. As usual I voted Republican. I then returned to parking area by the Byram library, and I read the historical town marker in front of the Byram Library. It says the Lyon family were one of the first settlers, but that must have been after the Dutch were kicked out. I went to Greenwich Country Day with members of the Lyon family, and I also recall their was a Lyon Farm Road on Nantucket about halfway up the Sconsset Road which gives access to the Old Navy Quonset hut where there is good fishing this time of year on the south shore. I then drove over to central Greenwich, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I toured the train station too. I stopped by CVS on the way down Greenwich Avenue, and I picked up their sales brochure. Their web site www.cvs.com does not show all of the sale items that are in the brochure this week. After my walk, I used the bathroom at Starbucks. I then drove down by the waterfront. The last house on the left on the end of Steamboat Road had somebody crash into it in a black Volvo last week, and apparently their was structural damage on the southwest corner of the brick structure and its wooden fence and hedges were damaged. I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason street. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop, and everything continues to be half price. I bought a Williamsburg, Virginia Official Web Site of Colonial Williamsburg, the World's Largest Living History Museum type brass sconce for $2 and a 3 foot television cablevision cable for .50 for $2.50 total. I then went by the Arnold Bread outlet, and I bought three 5.5 ounce bags of Arnold Seasoned croutons regular cut for $1.39 each bag, a loaf of Health Nut bread for $1.59, a 6 pack of New York Everything bagels for $1.85 for $7.61 total. I then returned home. I hung the brass Williamsburg, Virginia type sconce on the near left upper side of the kitchen entrance above the toaster. I drilled two 1/8th inch holes about 3/4 inch deep until they hit the aluminum studs, and then I inserted two one inch by 1/8th inch plastic mounting wall mounts in the sheet rock, and I cut off the ends, so they were flush with the sheet rock, and I used two 3/4 inch long by 1/8th wide screws to secure the Williamsburg, Virginia brass sconce mounting plate to the wall, and then I used the three brass round knobs to secure the sconce to the mounting plate, and I washed one of my spare glass shades that I keep on the rear top of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom, and I put a candle in the Williamsburg, Virginia brass sconce, and then the glass shade. It looks quite nice at the kitchen entrance. However, I would not recommend burning the candle, since it is only 15 inch beneath the kitchen entrance ceiling at its edge and also above it is the Plexiglas frame holding the Reagan's and Bush's picture at the 1980 Republican convention. I put the TV cable in the lower part of my hallway sweater closet with the other similar items. I cleaned up my work area with the Black and Decker dust buster. I then went outside, and I checked the surroundings, and then I picked up my mail. The backup was complete on the Northgate Syntax computer, so I shut it down. Here is a photo of the new Williamsburg, Virginia brass sconce http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/mike-scott-apartment-williamsburg-virginia-sconce-110805.JPG . CIO Note: <888> 11/08/05 Tuesday 6:45 A.M.: I finished the primary computer backup. I am now doing a C: drive to D: drive backup on the Northgate Syntax backup computer. I ate two scoops of Edy's Caramel and Praline Crunch low fat frozen yogurt. I will now shut down the primary computer, and I will go out and vote and other early morning activity. CIO Note: <888> 11/08/05 Tuesday 5:00 A.M.: I have Visual Studio Express also installed and registered on the Northgate backup computer. If one is registered at http://connect.microsoft.com there is also other Visual Studio Express features available. On the primary computer, I ran Norton Win Doctor 2003 and Ad-awareSE. I also installed the additional Visual Studio Express features available from http://connect.microsoft.com . I will now run CCleaner. I will then do a Windows XP Automatic System Recovery Backup of the C: drive to the D: drive. I will work on the backup computer while doing this. I also uninstalled Internet Explorer 7 beta 1 from the Northgate backup computer.

Maybe somebody actually does look at Scott's notes, or word gets around fast. I will now go back to my email. CIO Note: <888> 11/08/05 Tuesday 3:00 A.M.: I did a little bit of regular computer work.

CIO Note: <888> 11/08/05 Tuesday 12:25 A.M.: I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I did not use homemade hummus. I used a tin of sardines that I chopped. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Land-O-Lakes hot pepper jack cheese. For the dressing besides olive oil and the vinegar mixture, I also used the package of Caesar salad dressing that came with salad greens package a few months ago. I used a plum tomato sliced into slivers instead of cheery tomatoes. I ate the salad with a glass of iced tea. I chatted with a relative. I will not being going out for a walk this morning, since I guess at my age of 55, I should not be out at this hour of the morning. It is currently 46.2 degrees Fahrenheit at 69% humidity. I will now clean up and take a bath. I will then do some regular computer work. I have to vote at 7 A.M. this morning where I usually vote at the New Lebanon school in Byram.
