Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 12:45 P.M.: I booted Vista, and I tried to install Lexmark X1185 program on it, but the driver only install not the control program, so that has to be improved. I called up www.ordersmokesdirect.com at 1-866-215-1069, and I ordered six cartons of Seneca Ultra Lights 100s in a box for $11.49 a carton plus $10.50 priority mail shipping for $79.44 total. I rebooted into XP. I ate four 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch by .25 inch slices of mozzarella cheese. I chatted with a relative. I left two messages with an associate. I mentioned that the family that I stayed with out on Long Island had a son that use to visit Greenwich, Connecticut while I was out on Long Island, and he might be the father of a child whose mother did not know whom the father was. Since the family in Long Island is quite established, and since there is a family resemblance there with the child's uncle, it is hard to tell, however I saw the child's father in the grocery store at the Stop and Shop when I was there on Saturday, and the fellow I know looks like he is established and eats more than his fair share of food. He was eating a two foot long sandwich in the grocery store when I saw him. Also that reminded me that when I first met this individual http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/chris2000.JPG , he did not seem to know whom his father really was, since a lot of his parents were hippies that had been at Woodstock. What struck me about Chris is that he looks like Charlie Rumsey who is Mary Harriman Rumsey's son, and since Mary Harriman Rumsey is W. Averill Harriman's sister, they are a established family of ambassadorial rank. They like working in the transportation business to make ends meet to run their family farms where ever they might be. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 9:35 A.M.: Of course to use snow tires in this area, one has to be able to afford gasoline. I threw out my garbage, and the regular building custodian is here. The Greenwich Housing Authority representative has been away in Florida for the last two months on vacation, and he is due to return any day now. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 8:55 A.M.: I emailed the Prime Minister, but for me to stay mobile in snowy conditions, he would have to send me a set of Dunlap snow tires and have them installed on my Volvo station wagon. Local weather warning Weather Hazards for Southern Fairfield, CT . I have a couple of friends that never visit me that have better all weather vehicles. The British do now own Land Rover anymore, so I do not think we can depend on Land Rover, but we have connections with Henry Ford, since Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher use to live in Henry Ford's apartment in London, England. My highest level contact with the Ford Family is a man I used to see in this area with a Burgundy Jaguar with Connecticut license plate "ROYAL", and he looked a bit like Henry Ford or Ted Donahue. I also know Fred Ford, Rick Ford, Rob Ford, and Joe McDonald all of whom are Henry Ford's nephews. I have met Edsel Ford, and I have seen Bill Ford around here occasionally. Of course Ford is not the only car company in this neck of the woods. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 8:20 A.M.: I chatted with my friend whose grandfather was one of Queen Victoria's honor guards, and I told him when I was down in Key West, Florida, I use to have a friend whom looked like him. Since I was around a lot of the British Royal Navy personnel, my friend that investigates race horses looked like my friend in Key West back in 1976 - 1977 when Jim Eldert showed up. My friend whom looks like George Cary use to play the role of the sheriff in Key West, Florida, and we all called him the "Debuty of Love", and what is strange that today he still looks like my friend that investigates race horses. However down in Key West, Florida he wore a belt buckle on his blue jeans with a big star on it, and today he might be this person 10 Downing Street website - Home . I think I will email him. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 7:55 A.M.: If you look at my profile in www.classmates.com , I have updated it, and I also entered my current military status. Since I was born in the United States of America, I am a United States Citizen, however since my family has very strong British connections although I have never been in England, I am also a serving member of the British Navy attached to the United States Army 1st Army Medical Laboratory in Manhattan, and I have been since I graduated from www.lfc.edu in Lake Forest, Illinois, since 1972. My immediate superior is Doctor William Hampton at the Greenwich Hospital, and since I am legally disabled from extensive field activity in the service to my countries, I spend less time on medical research, and I focus primarily on computer internet research. Since computers are key part to the research effort in medicine and since IBM is a large computer company and since I do obviously know how to use computers, I am focusing on the computer aspect of research. Since I have served in the British Navy with senior British citizens, I am pretty much left to my own capability as far as what I am doing. I have never even visited the Manhattan 1st U.S. Army Medical Laboratory, but more than likely they would know whom I am, since I spent most of my time around medical personnel in Manhattan and medical personnel when I was traveling. I have no medical training just research training. What has me irritated after all of the these years serving in the British Navy is that they do not pay any attention to me and my experience, and I am left pretty much working as a house boy in my own apartment. Although the United States government does maintain me at a modest level, and although my family helps me out at a modest level, I am subject to the random practices of both the British and the United States governments, and I live like an exiled prince here in America. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 7:15 A.M.: I ate a piece of apple pie with the last two scoops of frozen Stop and Shop dairy topping. I do keep in my refrigerator freezer a small 8 ounce Rubbermaid container in a small plastic zip lock bag that contains a sample of the Jell-o mold that looked like the penicillin mold virus that I found growing on the jell-o in my apartment refrigerator over a year ago. It now looks like a small chic pea size of frozen brown ice. Since one of my neighbor's son is the chauffer for the president of Pfizer which makes penicillin, I thought it was interesting that penicillin mold virus was growing in my apartment. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 7:10 A.M.: In this building where I live, we have an international group of people, so possibly they have introduced some foreign substance. We also have a Haitian custodian, so maybe he is practicing voodoo. We also have little brown spiders in the building, so possibly when they bite somebody, the can cause a problem. We use to have a regular exterminator, and possibly whatever substance he uses for extermination causes people some sort of allergic reaction. I did notice when I was downtown briefly at the veterans monument on Saturday night, somebody had left a three color cartridge in a yellow plastic casing by the veterans monument. I did not know what it was, so I left it by the garbage can, and it looked like it might be some sort of spent flare cartridge. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 6:50 A.M.: I am awake from my nap. It seems strange like I was poisoned on Saturday morning. Since I am drinking the same iced tea that I made the day before, it is not the iced tea. I might have some sort of mold spore in the apartment left over from when I recycled the aquarium charcoal in my angel fish aquarium which I had before I got into computers. I might have a neighbor doing something which is effecting me in my neighboring apartment. Possibly I got a batch of bad Seneca cigarettes. It is hard to tell. Possibly I had a mild flu bug, or I just had a chill. When I made my bed this morning after changing the sheets, I noticed the electric blanket was not plugged in, and since I do not have the heat turned on in the bedroom possibly I was just cold while I was sleeping. Possibly since I might have some psychic abilities somebody nearby was having trouble. I felt like a I had been poisoned or I had a bad allergy attack. This has happened before, and having investigated similar occurrences, one option was that there is a large semi trailer truck that parks along side Interstate I-95 nearby on the highway at different times, and it is full of some sort of electronic jamming equipment that interferes with human brain waves. However, if that were the case, one could easily ignore the electronic jamming by wearing a headset possibly. Human brains operate basically with small synapses of electricity, and the other option could be that there was a solar flare on the sun which on the overcast weekend was not noticed. Solar flares put out so much electrical interference that they can interfere with human brain wave activity, and it also my theory that they can cause tectonic activity on the planet. With all of the electronics in the world and in this area, maybe somebody is experimenting with some sort of electronic equipment. We could also have people from Cytec in the area using the local population as guinea pigs. It is all a mystery, but since nobody in the community seems willing to discuss the matter, it is hard to tell. Possibly since during World War II, they made Plutonium over at Cytec when it was American Cyanamid which owned part of Chemstrand that my father use to work for, they might be working on some sort of advanced civilian crowd control chemical substance they test on the local population in this area. Whatever it is, it does not seem fair to the local community to be used a guinea pigs in this mischief. We have a number of scientists in this area, so maybe one of them is up to something. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 12:45 A.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 12:40 A.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note: <888> 12/05/05 Monday 12:05 A.M.: I completed the computer maintenance and backup. While the backup was running, I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I use a tin of sardines that I chopped instead of tuna fish. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used 1/3rd less fat mozzarella cheese. I used 12 grape tomatoes. I did not use homemade hummus. I used all of the other regular items. I ate the salad with a glass of iced tea. While the backup was finishing, I watched a vintage Bob Hope comedy movie about Nazi spies in Washington D.C.. CIO Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 8:45 P.M.: I will now run Windows Updates, Norton Updates, Norton WinDoctor 2003, Ad-awareSE, and then I will do a Windows XP Professional backup from the C: drive to the D: drive. CIO Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 8:20 P.M.: I woke up at 4 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 am doing laundry, and I have 50 minutes left on the dry cycle. I put clean linens on the bed. With all of the public relations with prices going up on gasoline, most people have not seemed to be aware the price of electricity has also gone up about 50% in the last two years. Also I use to get a 10 pack of Stop and Shop dried milk for $6.99, and now they only have a 5 pack of Carnation dried milk for $6.99, and each package makes a quart of milk. Also I have noticed that toilet paper and paper towels have doubled in price. Since I really do not buy a lot of items, I guess a lot of other items have gone up in price too. I do not need any, but I noticed Eight O'Clock coffee beans in the large 36 ounce bag are on sale at the Food Emporium for $5.99. I do have a Costco card if I need to buy in bulk. Of course one has to have the money to buy in bulk. CIO Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 9:20 A.M.: I relaxed a bit. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. There is not much going on, and from what I can tell, with the colder weather that has arrived most people are simply staying at home to conserve energy. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 12/04/05: Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 7:30 A.M.: I ate a piece of apple pie with two double tablespoons of the Stop and Shop low fat dairy frozen topping. I mentioned to a fellow shopper tonight while I was shopping at the Stop and Shop that back in the good old days when gasoline was about fifty cents a gallon in the period from 1978 to 1980, when I went out to California about five times to support the disorganized republican party during Jimmy Carter's presidency, since all I was doing was freezing to death and living on pasta and tomato sauce and sleeping on a friend's sofa on Long Island when I was not in Nantucket or Florida or Fairfield County or Manhattan that on one trip when I was returning form San Francisco during the Iran Rescue alert, I was driving east across route ten, and I picked up two hitchhikers in New Mexico from Byram, Connecticut. At Fort Stockton, Texas, I filled up my $150 1972 yellow Subaru with over a hundred thousand miles with about $10 of gasoline, and I gave one of the hitchhikers the money to pay for it, and when we left the gasoline station, I was stopped a couple of miles down the road for not paying for the gasoline at the Texaco station on Interstate 10. The police let the hitchhikers go, and I do not recall ever running into them again in Byram. However, I called up my Uncle Larry who at the time was a lawyer in Dallas, Texas, and the law enforcement dropped the charges, and I explored Fort Stockton, Texas which at the time did not have much to see, but I notice a lodge hall of the Brotherhood of Eagles, and in front of it was a sign saying it was the sight of the first Standard Oil Well in Texas. I continued my journey to San Antonio, Texas, and I checked with the base commander at Kelly Air Force Base where the aborted rescue mission had left from, and there was a major security presence at the gate, and I passed through heavily armed guards at the gate. I then continued my journey down to Key West, Florida and by Christmas Time, I returned to a relatives in Philadelphia. I also mentioned that on another trip I was returning back from California, and I think about a year or two earlier, and I was driving with a friend east on Interstate 70, and a few hundred miles before Russell, Kansas, my water hose on the Subaru sprung a leak in an ice storm, and a few fellows up late at night in a garage near the highway fixed the leak and gave me some antifreeze, and I offered to pay them, and they did not ask to be paid, so I bought them a six pack of beer, which many people drink late on Saturday night in America particularly during an ice storm, if you are not going anywhere anyway. That Sunday morning about 7 A.M., I rolled into Russell, Kansas, and the famous coffee shop was not opened, and nobody was around, so I did not see much of Russell, Kansas. I do recall on the same trip east when it was a little bit warmer in Abilene, Kansas in the afternoon, I went by there to see what the The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library Website looked like. I had a minor car problem on what I think was my first trip to California that fall in 1978 beside the broken windshield that I got in Midland, Texas, the starter motor on the Subaru would not start, so whenever I started the car, I had to park it on a hill, and pop the clutch, which was not too difficult in the hilly region of California. However on the great plains, one had to push the Subaru to start it and jump in fairly quickly and pop the clutch. I was finally able to fix it in Abilene, Kansas since the Buick Subaru dealership had the some few dollar fork part that moved the starter motor rotor drive into position. I recall while fixing it, there were a few cadets from a local military academy watching me, and they were all very polite but quite amused. I finally made it to the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, but it was late in the afternoon, and they were closed. I continued that trip down into Tulsa to see a relative and borrow a hundred dollars, which helped me make the rest of the way back down to Key West, Florida. My friend figured out a way on the Rand McNally map to get from Abilene to Tulsa, and along the way we saw the Coleman Camping company, so since I had used a butane stove in California which frequently leaked butane from the Coleman butane cans, I left their defective butane cans outside of their company doors, with a note about the problem, and where I lived. I never did hear back from them, but I have seen a lot of Coleman products in this area. I do recall on that trip when I visited Vandenberg Air Force base that the general in charge was named Coleman also. To be honest as I have said many times before, once you get away from this area, the United States of America has the worst weather in the world in a trip across country when one is exposed to so much lousy weather such as Drought, Forest Fire, and Tsunamis in California, blizzards in the Rockies, ice storms on the great plains, massive flooding in Arkansas and Louisiana, tornadoes in the Florida Pan Handle and Hurricanes in the Florida Keys, and when one makes it back up here for Christmas Time, all one finds is cold weather that one is familiar with, one begins to appreciate this area. I think it was that first trip on return in December 1978 that I spent Christmas house sitting at the Burns Security home in Greenwich. On the return the following year, after the Iran Hostage event began, I think I spent Christmas at my relative's house in Philadelphia. The following Christmas I was a bit depressed in Manhattan, since my father's mother, my grandmother had died. So despite the enthusiastic republicans around after Reagan's victory, I was rather sad for a long time. I will now send out my weekly notes. CIO Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 5:20 A.M.: I left the CDs that came with the Lexmark X1185 machine and the Intel Create and Share Upgrade program on the right hand mouse pad of the primary computer. Following are two pictures of the Lexmark X1185 printer, copier, scanner, fax machine connected to the primary computer and the Lexmark X85 printer, copier, scanner, fax machine connected to the Northgate Syntax backup computer http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/lexmark-x1185-printer-scanner-copier-fax-machine-connected-primary-computer-mike-scott-apartment-120405.JPG http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/lexmark-x85-printer-scanner-copier-fax-machine-connected-northgate-syntax-backup-computer-mike-scott-apartment-120405.JPG . CIO
Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 4:20 A.M.: I have the Lexmark X1185 setup, and it is working just fine. However, the half size cartridges are smaller, and do not hold a lot of ink. I printed out about 8 black and white test pages in setting it up and copying the documentation, and it used about 1/10th of a black half size ink cartridge. However, since I have so many other inkjet printers and laser printers, the Lexmark X1185's primary purpose is for copying quickly if the primary computer is turned off. It is also for scanning and faxing which works if one manually turns on the external U.S. Robotics modem just below the center between the two monitors. It is connected to Optimum Voice, so faxing in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico does not cost anything. The Lexmark software scans just fine, and it lets one print out to my other printers including the laser printers in black and white which are less costly to operate. When the Lexmark ink cartridges do run out with minimal use, I can always replace them with my larger cartridges that I bought. It prints out very well. I can also buy a color refill and black refill kit at Staples for $10 each and with my $10 discount card with a MasterCard charge of over $20, it would only cost me $10 and change, and I could thus refill the Lexmark ink cartridges, if I had to use the printing and copying features of the machine more often. One can look up on the internet about how to refill a Lexmark cartridge. I already have to empty refill kits, so I do not need the tools. I printed out two copies of the Proof of Purchase Label, Shipping Invoice and filled out $10 rebate form that I scanned with the Lexmark machine and printed with the Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W laser printer. The PaperPort scan software that came with the Visinoneer 4400 scanner does not seem to want to print out on high resolution on the Minolta laser printer, but with the Lexmark X1185 machine the software will scan at photo quality at 300 DPI, and it will print out just fine on the Minolta laser printer for a cost saving for any volume scan and print jobs. I have the original rebate information with the original filled out $10 rebate form, the original UPC code with serial number, and the original shipping invoice in a stamped envelope ready to mail. I put one copy of the rebate information in the stack of printouts to the right of my computer on the floor, and the other one in the metal file folder on top of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom. One the rebate is received, the fine print says, it has to be cashed by April 30, 2006. I put the Lexmark box on the back of the down sofa. One could also quick copy in color at higher cost. However, if one uses the Lexmark software on the computer, one can scan a higher resolution and preview and edit the copy before printing to the Lexmark or other printers. It depends on the amount of time and cost one is willing to incur. When the half size cartridges get low, I will probably refill them, and then I will use the larger cartridges, and refill them, and keep the smaller refilled cartridges in reserve. I put the spare full size Lexmark ink cartridges on the wicker rack behind the left computer monitor. Besides the Lexmark X1185 software CD, it came with four other photo and art programs on CDs that I will probably not use. I copied down the Lexmark X1185 serial number on a label, and I put it away, since I am sending the original UPC label with serial number for the $10 rebate. CIO Note: <888> 12/04/05 Sunday 12:25 A.M.: I went out after the last message. I brought my folding cart with me to bring up the groceries from my Volvo. I then went downtown, and I sat outside briefly. They disconnected the Holiday lights on the tree by the veterans monument across the street from the Greenwich Senior and Arts center. I then drove down by the waterfront, and I said hello to some former neighbors. I then went by Val's Liquors at the Stop and Shop shopping plaza, and I bought a 10 ounce bottle of Angostura bitters for $8, since the owner did not have change instead of $8.49. I then went by the Stop and Shop grocery store, and I bought four 10 ounce Stop and Shop Vermont extra sharp cheddar cheese bars for $2 each, four 59 ounce clear plastic bottles of Tropicana orange juice with calcium $2 each, Stop and Shop rare roast beef sliced thinly for $6.99 a pound for $7.13, Stop and Shop sliced thinly domestic Swiss cheese for 6.99 a pound for $5.96, a Libman dish scrup and soap dispenser for $1.99, a Libman dish scrup and soap dispenser two pack refill for $1.99, 9 sixteen ounce cans of B&M baked beans with maple flavor for .99 each, and one with bacon and onion for .99, a 5 quart package of Carnation dried milk for $6.49, a 28 ounce container of Quaker old fashioned oatmeal for $4.29, a 100 pack package of Splenda sweetener for $4.79, a box of five different varieties 25 total of Twinings tea for $3.49, four boxes of a Vanish Borax toilet bowl cleaner tablets for $1.19 each, a pound of baby carrots for $1.50, a bunch of broccoli at $1.49 a pound for $1.47 total, a 10 ounce bag of fresh spinach for $2.19, a 10 ounce box of fresh mushrooms for $2.39, and two pints of grape tomatoes for .99 each for $76.42 total, and I received a $5 discount with the coupon card that came in the mail for over a $40 purchase this week ending today for $71.94 total. I then returned home, and I brought up my purchases with my cart. I put away the groceries. I chatted with a relative. I then sliced four 1/4 inch by 4 inch by 1.75 inch slices of low fat mozzarella cheese, 10 medium mushrooms into quarter inch thick slices, two plum tomatoes into quarter inch slices, and 10 black pitted olives cut in half, and I set them aside. I then put about .75 inch of water in the plastic microwave proof pot, and I put in about 4 ounces of fresh spinach and the sliced mushrooms, and I put the lid on, and I put it the microwave oven to have ready to cook. I then put two bagel halves in the toaster to have ready to cook. I then set out and sliced into 1/4 inch slices one third of a 8 ounce package of Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese. I then put two tablespoons of olive oil and three pads of margarine in my omelet pan. I then broke three extra large eggs in a metal mixing bowl, and I added two tablespoons of milk and a tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese. I whisked the egg mixture together until it was bubbly. I then turn on the electric heat on the omelet pan to medium high. I turned on the vegetable cycle of the General Electric microwave oven to heat the spinach and mushrooms. I ran this cycle twice, and once they were heated I drained the water out with a wire strainer. I started the bagel halves toasting on the inside half only with my Rowenta toaster that will toast on only one side feature. Once the omelet pan fat began to bubble, I added the egg mixture, and I let it cook until it was hard enough to flip over to the other side, and then I let it cook briefly to harden up the reverse side. I put it on a microwave proof dinner plate partially cooked unfolded flat on the plate, and I spread the four pieces of mozzarella cheese on top of it and then the Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cheese in the other open spaces, and then the sliced plum tomatoes and then the heated spinach and mushroom mixture around the omelet and then the 20 halves of sliced black olives, and I covered it all with a microwave proof plate lid, and I heated it on the reheat cycle of General Electric Microwave oven for about half of the reheat cycle or about three minutes until the cheese began to melt. I then sprinkled a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese on top of the open face omelet, and I also put a little bit of olive oil on the toasted bagel halves. I ate it all with a glass of iced tea. It was quite enjoyable. I then washed the dishes, and I do not wash the omelet pan, but I wipe it clean with a paper towel to keep it seasoned. I will now install the new dishwashing scrup and soap holder. I will then set up the Lexmark X1185 printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine, and install its software. It came with a USB cable, but I already have a long one attached to the computer and available on the dining table to the left of the left monitor where I will place the Lexmark machine. I will then fill out the $10 Lexmark rebate information. CIO Note: <888> 12/03/05 Saturday 6:05 P.M.: The Army Navy game is over, and I think the final score was Navy 42 and Army 23. For the last two minutes I had to take a dump. I have not had time to watch a football game in a long time, and they do not seem to really last that long. The serial number on the Lexmark X1185 printer, scanner, copier, and fax is "29331950445". I now will shut down the computer, and I will shower, and I will clean up. I have to do some grocery shopping. I have a $5 off $40 purchase coupon at the Stop and Shop that is good through today. I will install the Lexmark once I return. CIO Download 1.37 Mb.
