Note: <888> 05/02/04 Sunday 11:35 A.M.: Before going to bed after the last message, I ran Norton Speed Disk on the C: drive. I woke up after a couple of hours after it finished running, and I turned off the computer. I was up at 10 A.M., and I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I will now print out my last four months of notes on the HP LaserJet IID printer. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 11:30 P.M.: I did some regular computer work. I chatted with a relative. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 10:30 P.M.: For Windows XP SP2 RC1 in the Add Remove programs, one has to check "Show Updates" to see the Windows update programs to uninstall. I uninstalled Windows XP SP2 RC1 and its updates, since my system seemed a bit unstable and slower with them. It was taking a long time to boot, and the Norton Internet Security Firewall 2004 and the Norton Antivirus 2004 programs were disappearing from the lower right tray like they were not working. After uninstalling Windows XP SP2 RC1, I ran Windows update. I then ran Norton Win Doctor and Ad-aware 6.0. I then did a System Restore backup, and I then ran disk clean up, and I have 2.52 GB of space left on the C: drive. The system is running much better, and there does not seem to by any problems. All of the startup programs are working. While doing this, I watched a NBC television movie about Tornado Hunting, and then I watched on FOX 67, President Bush's speech at the White House correspondents dinner. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 9:00 P.M.: I changed my three calendars to the month of May. I ate a piece of apple pie with a glass of iced tea. I checked www.usps.gov tracking, the legal document that I sent by Priority Mail from the central Greenwich, Ct. post office on 4:11 P.M. on this past Thursday afternoon was delivered at its destination in Kennesaw, Georgia today 9:09 A.M.. It had nothing to do with my work on the internet, but my web site contained copies of another web site pages from years ago, and the litigant needed verification that it was downloaded from the web site that it came from, which was still contained in the web site pages. I might be reimbursed for my expenses which were $8.65. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 8:10 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I chatted with another walker. I went by CVS, and I bought two packages of two Marks-A-Lot retractable permanent markers for 75% off for .75 each two pack plus .09 tax for $1.59 total. I completed my walk, and I sat out for a while. I used the bathroom at the senior center. I gave a dollar to the Greenwich High School Habitat for Humanity fund raising group in front of the Board of Education building. They want to raise $5,000 for to build a solar house in Mexico. I noticed that tomorrow despite the impending rain, they are having the Knights of Columbus flea market sale at the Island Beach parking lot. I next drove down by the waterfront. I then sat out at the Greenwich Library for a while. I ran into the same walker, and since he had bronchitis, I gave him a ride home in my direction. I drank some iced tea. I opened up one of the two packs of markers, and I put one in the blue and white bowl to the left of the left computer monitor, and the other on my bedroom desk. I will leave the other package in the bedroom top right desk drawer. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 4:05 P.M.: I will now shut down the computer. Dinner should be ready in five minutes. I should be out of here around 4:30 P.M. to 4:45 P.M.. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 3:50 P.M.: The Kentucky Derby www.kentuckyderby.com comes on channel 4 WNBC television at 5 P.M. here http://entertainment.msn.com/TV/guide/Default.aspx . However, since it is nice this afternoon, and since it is suppose to rain the next couple of days, I will probably not watch it, but I will go out for a walk after I eat dinner. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 3:45 P.M.: I started the General Electric Profile 15,500 BTU air conditioner with remote control when I went out this morning setting it at 70 degrees Fahrenheit low fan with ventilation louver closed. It is currently about 72 degrees in the apartment with the westerly sun shining on my west facing windows. I closed the ventilation vent, since in the allergy season, it will not bring in fresh air. I took the 2.65 pound eye round roast, and I put in on a baking rack in a baking pan, and I seasoned it on all sides with Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder, celery salt, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, and Texas Best Mesquite barbeque sauce. I am cooking it in the Farberware convection oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. It has about 20 minutes to go. I will eat two 3/8 inch slices with the juices. I will steamed some quartered broccoli stalks, which I will eat with a bit of olive oil. I rinsed in a metal bowl a cup of Carolina white rice, and I rinsed it underneath warm water with a metal wire strainer. I then put the cup of rice in the China Village rice steamer with 14 ounces of water, two tablespoons of olive oil, and a teaspoon of sesame oil. I put the inner and outer lids on it, and I will microwave it on high in the General Electric microwave oven for 11 minutes, and I will let it stand for five minutes. I will eat half of the rice, and I will refrigerate the other half in a Rubbermaid container, and I will also refrigerate the remaining portion of the cooked eye round roast in a Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator. I will have the meal with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 3:00 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Valley Road post office, and I mailed my GEICO insurance premium and a letter to a relative. I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I then went downtown, and I went by CVS, and I picked up a prescription at $1.50 cost to me, and I bought another Master Lock padlock at 75% off #803D for $1.75 plus .11 tax for $3.36 total. I then went by the Exxon gasoline station next to the Greenwich Library, and I bought $4.80 of regular unleaded gasoline at $2.079 a gallon for about 27 miles per gallon this week. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a half gallon of Florida Natural orange juice with calcium for $2.50, two 13 ounce boxes of Keebler 50% reduced fat Town House crackers buy one get one free for $3.59 both, a 10 ounce bag of fresh spinach for $1.50, two 10 ounce bars of Cracker Barrel Vermont sharp white cheddar cheese for $2.50 each, and a eye round roast at $2.99 a pound for $8.16 for $20.75 total. I then went by the Vitamin Shoppe www.vitaminshoppe.com at the Port Chester A&P shopping center. They have coupons on the internet at http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/centers/moneysavingcoupons.jhtml . I had printed some out. I bought with my Vitamin Shoppe discount card B-complex 100, 100 capsules for $5.95, E-400 IU with Wheat Germ oil and Lecithin 100 capsules $7.18, Niacinamide 500 mg. 100 capsules $4.76, deodorized garlic 500, 100 capsules $4.48, E-400 IU, 100 soft gels $4.95, two C-500 complex 100 tablets each bottle $3.18 each, Multivitamins one daily with lutein and lycopene with no iron 100 tablets $12.57, B-12 500 mcg 100 capsules $4.76, and I used a $10 off coupon that I had received in the mail for a purchase over $50, so the total was $41.01. I then returned home. It took a while for me to figure out a minor error in my Microsoft Money program, but I finally found it. I decided to take my Internet directory files off my 32 meg. USB drive, and instead I put on my Microsoft Money file which is about 29 megs. I drank some iced tea. I will put the extra Master Lock pad lock in my left top living room desk drawer. The www.usps.gov tracking says that the Priority Mail package that I mailed on Thursday afternoon has reached the town of its destination, but I am not sure if it has been delivered or not. CIO Note: <888> 05/01/04 Saturday 9:40 A.M.: I was up at 8 A.M., and I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I will now clean up, and I will go out. I will start doing a full system scan with Norton Anti Virus 2004. CIO Note: <888> 06/30/04 Wednesday 11:15 P.M.: I went through my email. There was not that much, because the email movers and shakers might be on vacation as of the first of the month. A little bird told me recently that the President of a computer company is traveling around the world currently. Of course for privacy reasons I can not divulged the computer company or the individual, but knowing the company, it is par for the course. CIO Note: <888> 06/30/04 Wednesday 10:20 P.M.: I chatted with a friend and a relative. CIO Note: <888> 06/30/04 Wednesday 9:15 P.M.: I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I used all of the regular ingredients except for the tuna fish, I used a tin of sardines that I chopped. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Land-O-Lakes pepper jack cheese. I had the salad with a glass of iced tea. I decided keeping the LampLight Farms http://www.lamplightfarms.com/ smokeless and odorless lighting oil in my three miniature hurricane lamps is potentially a fire hazard in that it could cause a fire to accelerate, so I emptied the three miniature hurricane lamps, and I put the oil back in the LampLight Farms plastic bottle which I keep in a sealed glass spaghetti noodle jar on the small miniature shelves to the left in the kitchen. In a prolonged energy outage, I could always fill them. The miniature hurricane lamps still have a minimum of the oil remaining in them, which will evaporate over time. CIO Note: <888> 06/30/04 Wednesday 7:35 P.M.: I did not fall asleep until 4 A.M. this morning. I ate the last 2 inch by 1.5 inch by 1 inch pieces of Cabot's www.cabotcheese.com 50% less fat Vermont white cheddar cheese. I also ate a bowl of corn chips along with some iced tea. I was awaken about 6:30 A.M. by a telephone call from a friend. I was finally up at noon. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry preserves, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I went outside briefly, and I checked the mail. I cleaned up, and I went out. I drove over to the Arnold bread outlet, and I bought a 5.5 ounce box of Arnold Zesty Italian large cut croutons for .99 and a loaf of Arnold whole wheat bread for $1.35 and on Wednesdays, one gets the senior discount of 10% off for .23 off in my case for $2.11 total. I then drove down by the waterfront, and I chatted with some waterfront observers. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and they were closed today for reorganizing new stock, but they will be opened tomorrow. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various locations. During my walk, I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I bought a large magnetic key hider for $3.99 plus .24 tax for $4.23 total. I then went by CVS, and I dropped off a roll of 24 exposure 35mm film for double prints, which should be ready in two days. I bought twelve 3.75 ounce tins of Beach Cliff sardines in water for two for .99 for $5.94 total. I then completed my walk. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I read the Greenwich Time, which had the article about the 30th anniversary of the Gulliver's discothèque fire Greenwich Time - Firefighters reflect on anniversary of Gulliver's tragedy. I recall I was only at Gulliver's once or twice, but I recall visiting it around April or May 1975 with a couple of neighbors. I was aware of the fire since I read the Greenwich Time reports of it, and my mother had been one of the nurses that responded to the Greenwich Hospital in the emergency. As I recall about half of the victims were young students from France. I guess since I visited the bar discothèque in April or May 1975, they had rebuilt it. At the time I had quit smoking tobacco, and I recall the place was smoky, so I left shortly after arriving and having a bourbon and ginger ale. I recall upon leaving going up the steps to the parking lot, that the left side door as one exited was opened for entry, but the right side of the double doors was locked, so like on all auditorium doors instead of pushing on the handle when it is locked from the inside, I pushed on the spring lock door lock at the door jam, and it opened. I do not recall whether I was ever at Gulliver's before the fire or not. I recall the night of the Gulliver's fire, I was in Manhattan at the Le Jardin discothèque, and I spent the night at Steve Wheellock's apartment on east 60th street, and the following morning when we went out to breakfast on Madison Avenue, I saw the story in the New York Times. I recall the time I went to Gulliver's in April or May 1975, I road over with one of my neighbors Peter Fox on his motorcycle. As I recall Gulliver's was in the basement of a bowling alley. There were other exits around the discothèque dance floor, but I do not recall checking them to see if they worked or not. Presently, I think the office building where Perrier of America is located is at that location. I next returned home after reading the Greenwich Time, and the large size magnetic key hider will not fit my Hyundai key, so I will keep it for a relative in Maine that needs one. I can get the extra large magnetic key hider at Charles Stuttig's locksmith at 158 Greenwich Avenue. I put away my purchases. CIO Note: <888> 06/30/04 Wednesday 1:25 A.M.: One should remember this time of year to keep an eye on www.geocities.com/mikelscott/weather.htm . While up in Kennebunkport, Maine, I saw a rebroadcast of the Weather Channel Program on Hurricane Andrew. In quick summary hurricanes hit North Carolina three years ago, and the Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C. area last fall, which might mean there might be a trend of hurricane activity pushing further north each year recently, which would mean the Chesapeake Bay area, Cap May, New Jersey area north to Atlantic City, New Jersey or even New York might be effected this year or in the next couple of years. Also during the last two years, Bermuda has been hit by a number of hurricanes. Thus as any sea dog knows, one should keep a weather eye, and with all the information on the internet, if one can afford to live near the ocean or have a boat, there is really no reason that one should not be able to afford to keep track of the weather on the internet or other weather information service. This image looks really great on my Sony FD Trinitron 21 inch monitor NRL Monterey Satellite Photos from the experts at NRL Monterey Tropical Images and NRL Monterey Weather Satellite Products, Images & Movies and Naval Research Laboratory Monterey and don't forget www.geocities.com/mikelscott/weather.htm . I recall when the hurricane hit North Carolina three years ago, the Navy Research Laboratory in Monterey, California knew three days before it happened from their IBM super computer modeling, but alas, they did not alert the people on the east coast about the impending hurricane. Thus one has to do a bit of research oneself on the internet, and not just rely on CNN for TV weather, since it is the nature of the media, they are not going to alert a large number of people and scare them, since it tends to be the general consensus that it is better for large numbers of people during a hurricane to take shelter locally as opposed to be traveling on the road should they fear one happening. The 2004 Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Forecast The Tropical Meteorology Project: [FORECASTS] is for increased activity this season. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 06/30/04 Wednesday 12:15 A.M.: http://www.webmaster-tool.co.uk/ . CIO Note: <888> 06/29/04 Tuesday 11:35 P.M.: I finished going through my email. CIO Note: <888> 06/29/04 Tuesday 10:15 P.M.: I installed the OfficeReady Essentials program. I chatted with a relative. When I chatted with another relative last night, the relative told me about a book that a friend had edited. This is the link to the book http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/armver.html . It is based on translations from the library at Heracleum near Pompeii, which was discovered underneath the basement of a laundry room, which contained Julius Caesar's father in law's library which was quite extensive since he was wealthy. Apparently the scrolls in the library were able to be read after being sealed in the volcanic ash with aid of technology from NASA. My relative's friend is David Armstrong whom is working on deciphering the scrolls, since he can read the ancient Greek writings, and it is part of the Philodemus project, and there was a program on it on the Discovery Channel http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20030303/papyri.html and http://www.arethusa.net/ . CIO Note: <888> 06/29/04 Tuesday 9:20 P.M.: I have gone through most of my email from the past week. I went to www.freebizmag.com , and I was able to download a free sample of OfficeReady Essentials TemplateZone - OfficeReady Essentials - Converting Word to PDF & Excel to PDF, Invoice Template . CIO Note: <888> 06/29/04 Tuesday 7:35 P.M.: I made up a fresh batch of homemade hummus www.geocities.com/mikelscott/hummus.htm . For the garlic portion, I used two medium cloves of elephant garlic. I then made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I used all of the regular ingredients, except I did not use Danish blue cheese. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Cabot's 50% less fat Vermont white cheddar cheese. I had the salad with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 06/29/04 Tuesday 6:05 P.M.: I went outside, and I chatted with a couple of neighbors. There were a few thin white lines from the Nu Finish http://www.nufinish.com/ wax job that I put on my 1999 Hyundai Accent 2 door hatchback last October 2003. I have washed the car three times since then. The small white lines were from not buffing out the wax completely particularly on the passenger side. I took a terry cloth towel, and I buffed them out, and then I wiped and buffed them with a damp part of the towel. I keep a spigot handle in my car clove compartment for turning on the outside water faucet from the old days when I use to wash the car with a bucket and a hose. It looks better. I have to touch up with a small bit of black paint a couple of scratches. My Hyundai just turned to 41,000 miles while I was downtown. I am not due for a scheduled maintenance until 47,500 miles except for an oil and filter change at the next 3,000 mile interval. CIO Note: <888> 06/29/04 Tuesday 5:00 P.M.: I was up at 10:30 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. As usual I watched television with my morning coffee. I cleaned up, and I went out. I went over to the Oil Star oil change place in Riverside, Connecticut, and I had my 1999 Hyundai Accent 2 door hatchback oil and oil filter changed and the fluids and other items checked for $31.95 with a $3 off coupon plus four quarts of Castrol 10W30 oil for $3.25 plus .97 disposal charge for the old oil and $1.98 tax for $34.90 total. The Oil Star Service man found my spare key I had hidden underneath the car its case melted because it was too near the exhaust, so they gave me the melted case with the spare key I had hidden. I will have find another place to hide the key outside the car interior which is difficult. I went over to the Mobil Express car wash in Old Greenwich, and I had my car washed for $5. I towel dried the remaining dampness afterwards. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I next went by the Exxon gasoline station next to the Greenwich Library, and I put $12.80 of regular unleaded gasoline $2.299 a gallon. During my recent trip to Kennebunkport, Maine and back, I drove 570 miles including local travel to and from the gas pumps, and I put in 11.236 gallons of gasoline at four fill ups during that period, so with extended travel mostly on the highway in fifth gear I averaged 50.729797080811676753292986828053 miles per gallon usage during extended highway driving and a small bit of local driving. I next went by the Greenwich Town Hall, and I paid the yearly property tax on my 1999 Hyundai Accent 2 door hatchback which was $21.24. I then drove down by the waterfront. I next went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought broccoli crowns at $1.99 a pound for $2.29, two eight ounce bars of Land O Lakes Pepper Jack cheese for $2 each, a 10 ounce bag of fresh spinach for $1.99, a 10 ounce box of fresh mushrooms for $2.29, a pound of fresh strawberries for $2, a 16 ounce bag of baby carrots for $1.50, a quart of plum tomatoes for $3.49, a Super Size 20 ounce bag of Tostitos restaurant style taco chips for $2.99, and a 8.5 ounce box of Triscut reduced fat crackers for $1.99 for $22.54 total.

I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 06/28/04: Note: <888> 06/28/04 Monday 9:10 P.M.: I went outside briefly, and I threw out some garbage. I will now send out my weekly notes a few days late. CIO Note: <888> 06/28/04 Monday 8:35 P.M.: I am microwaving a Maria Callender turkey pot pie, which I will have with iced tea. I am a 100 miles over the 3,000 mile interval for an oil change on my Hyundai, so I will have the oil and oil filter changed and fluids checked tomorrow at Oil Star in Riverside, Connecticut. CIO Note: <888> 06/28/04 Monday 8:15 P.M.: I have returned from Kennebunkport, Maine http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/137.htm where I visited with a relative. I was awake on last Wednesday morning at 8 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I packed the car. I waited around until I went to the bathroom #2, so I would not have to go to the bathroom #2 on the highway. I turned off the toilet and the air conditioner. I left at 10:15 A.M.. I drove over to King Street in Port Chester, New York, and I drove up to Westchester County airport, and I followed the road around to I-495 East. I took I-495 East to I-84 East. I took a break at the Danbury, Connecticut welcome center. I then drove east on I-84 East, and I took another break at the Southington, Connecticut rest area. I then drove east on I-84 East, and I took another break at the Vernon, Connecticut rest area. I followed I-84 East to the Massachusetts turnpike east, and I took another break at the rest area just after I got on the turnpike. I bought at the Exxon filling pumps at the rest area with my Bank of New Master Card debit card $5.80 of regular unleaded gasoline at $2.079 a gallon for over 50 miles per gallon usage, which I get with the fifth gear in my 1999 Hyundai Accent hatchback. I exited at the next exit to I-290 North paying a .50 toll. I followed I-290 north to I-495 north, and I took anther break at the Lowell, Massachusetts rest area. I then followed I-495 north to I-95 north, and I took a break at the New Hampshire turnpike welcome center. I then paid a dollar toll at the New Hampshire turnpike, and I proceeded to the Maine turnpike, when I paid a $1.50 toll. I exited at the Wells, Maine exit, and I took U.S. 1 north, and after about two miles, I took the right turning into Kennebunkport, Maine. I arrived at my relatives house at 4:30 P.M. for a 6 hour and 15 minute trip and 276 miles door to door. I unpacked my car including the Danish cherry end table that I had brought up, and I chatted with my relative. We went out to dinner at the Wayfarer restaurant in Cape Porpoise, Maine, where I had the turkey special for dinner. We drove out to the point in Cape Porpoise. We then returned home, and we chatted, and watched a bit of television. I went to bed about 10:30 P.M.. I was up at 9 A.M. the next morning on Thursday, and I had breakfast of cheerios, toast with margarine, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I watered my relatives plants on the rear deck. I cleaned the gutters front and rear on the house, where I could reach them with the latter. I used rubber gloves and bucket to clean the gutters, and then I used a hose to rinse them out, and I put the webbing back over the rear gutters. I moved a hose around, and I water the plants around the house. I swept the pine straw off the driveway. I did some other minor chores. My relative, and I had fresh crab meat salad for lunch with iced tea. I cleaned up, and we went out, and we drove up U.S. 1 to South Portland, Maine. We went by Marshall's, Home Depot, T.J. Max, Wal-mart, and back in Biddeford, Maine, we went by Shaw's grocery store. We returned home, and my relative cooked me a Angus Beef Tenderloin filet mignon for dinner in a frying pan medium rare. I actually had 1.5 filet mignons, along with steamed broccoli and two ears of corn on the cob with iced tea. We sat out on the deck for a while, and I chatted with my relative, and we read the papers and watched television. I went to bed about 11 P.M., and I was up the following Friday morning about 10 A.M.. I had breakfast of cheerios, toast with margarine, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I hooked up a new hose and nozzle to the back deck of the house, since the old hose was leaking. I repaired the old hose with a splicer. We had gotten the parts at Home Depot. I watered the plants on the rear deck, and I set up the hose so it all on the deck coiled, but one has to turn it on from below. On the east side of the house where a stone wall had been rebuilt, I weeded the area around it, and I hoed it, and I then I raked it with a rake. I then used a Scott's hand spreader and Scott's grass seed to seed the area. We had gotten the spreader and grass seed at Wal-Mart the day before. I then watered the newly seeded area and the plants in front of the house. I hung another old hose at the front east of the house. We had lunch of fresh crab meat with salad and iced tea. We went for a drive, and we went by the Kennebunk Volvo and Saab http://www.saabandvolvo.com/ , and my relative had some hydraulic oil put in the power steering pump of the 1998 Audi, and it quit making noise.

I then left downtown Kennebunkport, Maine about 11 A.M.. I took a break at the Amtrak station at Wells, Maine. I then got on the Maine Turnpike South, and I paid the $1.50 toll, and then I paid a dollar toll at the New Hampshire turnpike. I then took a break at the Massachusetts welcome center on I-95 south. I then took I-495 south, and I took another break at the Lowell rest area. I then followed I-495 south to I-290 south, and I got on the Massachusetts turnpike, and I took a break at the rest area. I called and cancelled an appointment for today. I put $5 of regular unleaded gasoline at the Exxon pump $2.059 a gallon. I exit the Massachusetts turnpike at I-84 west, and I paid a .50 toll. I followed I-84 west to Connecticut, and I took a break at the Connecticut welcome center. I then followed I-84 west across Connecticut, and there were very light sprinkles around Hartford. I got off I-84 west at the first Southbury exit, and I went to the mall parking lot for a break by the McDonalds. I then followed I-84 west to I-684 south, and I took a break at the rest area just before Armonk, New York. I then exited I-684 south at Westchester County airport, and I drove down King Street to just past the Merritt parkway, and I took a left in Glenville, and I returned home at 5:10 P.M. with the trip still at 276 miles door to door and 6 hours and 10 minutes. I unpacked the car. I chatted with my relative to let them know that I returned safely. I turned on the toilet and the air conditioner. I unpacked my luggage. I drank some iced tea and cold filtered water. I sorted through my mail. I received notification from Bank of New York not to do online transfers more than six times a month, which I will not do. I watered my apartment plants. CIO Note: <888> 06/23/04 Wednesday 1:00 A.M.: I will not be updating this note for a while, because I will be away visiting a relative in Kennebunkport, Maine http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/137.htm until about this coming Monday afternoon, when I will probably return. The way I drive up there if I remember correctly is that I drive up King Street from nearby in Port Chester, New York to I-684 east, to I-84 east, to the Massachusetts Turnpike east, to the first exit for I-290 North to Worcester, to I-495 East, to I-95 north to the New Hampshire turnpike north to the Maine turnpike north to the Wells, Maine exit and I will drive into Kennebunkport. I tried to rest since 10 P.M. without much success. I finished eating the corn chips, and I ate a Nature's Valley granola bar with iced tea. I plan to wake up at 7:30 A.M. and leave around 9:30 A.M.. I will now shut down the computer. CIO Download 3.07 Mb. Share with your friends:
