Note: <888> 06/18/04 Friday 1:00 P.M.: I just had a minor disaster, the left living room closet shelf just collapsed because the end support pieces broke. I have a lot of my winter clothes hanging from the shelf rack, and I added my winter coats recently, so the extra weight must have caused it to collapse. I will repair it with similar supports from the sweater closet, and I will reduce the weight. CIO Note: <888> 06/18/04 Friday 12:40 P.M.: I took a chilled 4.24 ounce can of Bumble Bee pink crab meat, and I opened the lid, and I drained and rinsed it with the lid on underneath cold water pressing the water out a few times. I put it in a metal bowl, and I added about 1/8 of a teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning, and I also added a dozen chopped California medium pitted black olives, and I mixed it all together. I then added two heaping tablespoons of Hellmann's Just2Good 82% less fat mayonnaise, and I mixed it all together. I just opened the jar of Hellmann's Just2Good mayonnaise, and it said best if purchased by December 12, 2003, but it still should be good since it has not been opened. I refrigerated the jar after opening. I put the mixture on slices of Arnold 100% whole wheat 9 grain bread using four slices to make two sandwiches, which I cut across in half. I will have the crab sandwiches with a glass of ice tea now. CIO Note: <888> 06/18/04 Friday 12:15 P.M.: Greenwich Time - Archbishop of Canterbury headlines town fund-raiser and http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/ and http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/about/index.html . CIO Note: <888> 06/18/04 Friday 11:55 A.M.: I was up at 7:30 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry preserves, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I went outside, and I used Scotch tape to tape the Connecticut Bush Cheney '04 automobile window sticker that I made last night into the lower rear inside passenger side rear window of my Hyundai hatchback rear window. It does not interfere with my rear view mirror view out the back window. I then did my house cleaning and watering the plants. I cleaned the computer monitors with glass cleaner instead of the computer monitor screen duster. I threw out the garbage including the bathroom garbage and the paper recycle container in their respective containers outside. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 10:00 P.M.: I finished eating the last piece of cheese cake with some iced tea. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. I will do my weekly house cleaning, when I wake up tomorrow. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 9:35 P.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 8:55 P.M.: For the latest Indonesia volcano news Indonesia Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Hot News . CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 8:45 P.M.: Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research http://ees.elsevier.com/volgeo/ . CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 8:10 P.M.: It is suppose to continue raining through out the evening, so I will not be going out for a walk. I looked at http://www.georgewbushstore.com/ and Bush Cheney '04 static cling car stickers are $1.25 apiece The George W. Bush Online Store Static Cling Car Window Stickers Bush Cheney '04 , but shipping for four stickers would be $5.95, so I decided not to order them. Instead I went to this web link Bush Cheney ' 04Custom Posters , and I created a Connecticut Bush Cheney '04 poster. When it opened in the Adobe Acrobat Viewer, I resized it to 45%, and then I did a snapshot of it which copied the image, and I pasted it into Microsoft FrontPage 2003 or Microsoft FrontPage Express, and then I printed out the image in color which came out on the page 4.5 inches by 3.5 inches. I then cut it out of the page. I then centered it in a 3M Scotch 4 inch by 6 inch photo laminating sheet, and I removed the sticker cover, and I sealed it around its edges. I thus have a very nice waterproof plastic sealed "Connecticut Bush Cheney '04" window sticker that I can scotch tape in the rear inside right hatchback window of my Hyundai next to the Greenwich Country Day alumni sticker. I have to make sure I do not obscure my rear driving vision though. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 7:00 P.M.: While I was at my 3 P.M. appointment, the lights momentarily blinked, probably from the electrical storm. Also when I returned home, I had to reset the clock on the microwave oven, so the lights blinked here too. I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I used all of the regular ingredients, and for the cheddar cheese portion I used Cabot's www.cabotcheese.com 50% less fat Vermont white cheddar cheese. I had the salad with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 5:50 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Arnold bread outlet, and I bought three 5.5 ounce boxes of Arnold garlic and herb larger cut croutons for .99 each, a loaf of Arnold Brannola expired bread for .99, and a Entenmann's Home-style apple pie for $1.79 for $5.75 total. I paid with my Bank of New York Master Card debit card. I then returned to west Putnam Avenue, and there was a traffic tie up. There was a wrecked Greenwich Police car at the pumps at the Shell gasoline station, and there was a wrecked Mercedes and other smaller imported car wrecked in the center of West Putnam Avenue on a wrecker across from Miller motor cars. It took about 20 minutes to get through the traffic and other police, fire, and ambulances were responding. I then went to Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I next made my 3 P.M. appointment. It started raining very heavily about the time that I left the bank. After my 3 P.M. appointment, I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. I bought a brass candle holder with a curved candle part with a spear in the center and a balance counter weight at the other end with about a 5 inch wide base for $2. It had a Neiman Marcus sticker on it. I then returned home. I took the brass candle stick off the dining room table, and I put another cut crystal shade with it, and I put it on the left side of the wicker rack to the left of the primary computer with a little French tri-color ribbon on it. I used the cut crystal shade from the brass candle holder that was originally on the table, and I put about a half dozen broccoli rubber bands around its base, so the crystal shade fit into the new brass candle holder. I have the candle with crystal shade overhanging the trivet of the Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island. I hung a little red and white styrofoam Christmas candy cane on it. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 1:30 P.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will go out. There is this weather alert for the area Weather Hazards for Northern Westchester County, NY . CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 1:00 P.M.: I sorted out the sun glasses on the wicker rack to the right of the bedroom bed. I cleaned the glassware on the dining room table, and I straightened it up some more. I moved the Northern Trust 2003 Annual report from the side maple table to on top of the Danish bar. I found some lens paper, which I put in the silver Parthenon box on the long mahogany bureau. I will now clean up. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 11:55 A.M.: After the last message, I moved the HP LaserJet IID laser printer on the dining room table back a few inches, so the paper trays fit into it without interfering with access to the kitchen entrance. I sorted out the papers on it and the wooden pineapple next to it. I moved the extra pairs of eye glasses, eye glass strap, and eye glass tools from the dining room table location to the wicker rack to the right side of the bedroom bed. Thus the dining room table is neater looking. I went to bed, and I was up at 10 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry preserves, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I chatted with a relative. I checked my mail. I have a 3 P.M. appointment this afternoon. I will now clean up. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 1:10 A.M.: I watched some television. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed. CIO Note: <888> 06/17/04 Thursday 12:10 A.M.: I read about two years ago that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory http://www.llnl.gov/ had received a half billion dollar budget for some sort of volcanic research, but this is about all that I can find at their web site http://www.llnl.gov/str/pdfs/04_97.2.pdf . CIO Note: <888> 06/16/04 Wednesday 11:50 P.M.: I sent out an email. I put the iced tea in the refrigerator. I ate a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 06/16/04 Wednesday 9:20 P.M.: I was given this web site today by one of the regular Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop patrons. It is http://www.waynegreen.com/ and his predictions for a Armageddon type eruption of Yellowstone in September 2004 http://www.waynegreen.com/wayne/badnews.html . It is quite scary, let us pray it does not happen. CIO Note: <888> 06/16/04 Wednesday 9:10 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 stopped by CVS, and I bought a 12 roll package of a 1000 sheet rolls of Scott toilet paper for $5.49 plus .33 tax for $5.82 total, which I paid for with my Bank of New York Master Card debit card. On the way back down Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by the Bank of New York ATM machine on Greenwich Avenue, and I transferred funds into my checking debit card account at the ATM machine. I read this week that 4 million people have funds taken from them through internet piracy, but since I generally have such small amounts of funds in my account, and since I watch it closely, I do not worry as much. I completed my walk. I used the bathroom at the senior and arts center. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 250 count package of Stop and Shop white napkins for $1.50, a 10 ounce package of fresh spinach for $1.99, three half gallons of Tropicana Premium orange juice with calcium for $2 each, and a 16 ounce jar of Planter's dry roasted lightly salted peanuts for $1.99 for $11.57 total. I used my Bank of New York Master Card debit card to pay for the purchase. I then returned home, and I put away my purchases. I drank some filtered iced water. I am now making up a batch of www.geocities.com/mikelscott/icetea.htm . CIO Note: <888> 06/16/04 Wednesday 5:35 P.M.: I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I used all of the regular ingredients, and for the cheddar cheese portion I used Cabot's www.cabotcheese.com 50% less fat Vermont white cheddar cheese. I had the salad with a glass of iced tea. I took the two Harvard www.harvard.edu butter plates from the wicker rack in the bedroom, and I washed them, and I put them underneath the brass candle holders underneath the hurricane globes on the maple side table in the living room. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go back out. CIO Note: <888> 06/16/04 Wednesday 4:20 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I then drove up North Street to the Merritt Parkway. There is construction during the daytime between North Street and Den Road to the east. I drove up to Route 7 in Wilton, Connecticut, and I went to T.J. Maxx. I was able to exchange the gift polo shirt and shirt sleeve dress casual shirt for $29 store credit. They said the khakis did not come form T.J. Maxx. I bought a 27.5 inch by 33 inch cranberry red wood framed mirror for $29.99 plus $1.80 tax for $31.79 total. It has hooks on the back for hanging it horizontal of vertical. I then went to Wal-Mart, and I bought a Mainstays home miracleware microwave food cover for $1.97, a Brita Pitcher Filter for $6.96, and a 8 pack ACT II Butter 94% fat free microwave popcorn for $2 plus .54 tax for $11.47 total, and I used my Bank of New York Master Card debit card to charge it. As I was exiting the store, I noticed about a dozen people running out of the store, and I thought it was a bit of an over response to a shop lifter, but apparently a customer had a heart attack in the parking lot. Within 5 to 10 minutes, the police, fire department, and the Emergency Medical Technicians in the Ambulance were there administering life saving procedures. I left before the ambulance left. I then went to New Canaan, Connecticut to the Visiting Nurse New Canaan Thrift shop across the street from the fire house. One has to pay for parking in the adjacent lot with a solar powered parking slip dispenser at .25 an hour for only numbered parking spaces. I toured the New Canaan thrift shop, and there prices are up from when I was last there a few years ago. They are pretty much the same prices as the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I bought a pair of Hagar waist 40 inch by 29 inch length white khaki casual slacks for $6, a pair of 40 inch waist by 30 inch length Stafford's from Thomasville, Georgia khakis for $7.50 and a long sleeve light weight Madras Lord and Taylor burgundy and dark blue pattern extra large shirt for $5 for $18.50 total cash. I put my purchases in the car, and I sat out in front of the New Canaan old town hall for a while. I then walked around the central downtown area and the village green with the churches, and I returned from walking around the green and downtown area back to where my car was parked across the street from the fire house. I then returned home to my apartment in Greenwich, Connecticut via the Merritt Parkway. I brought up my purchases in two trips. I had mirror wire, so I strung it across the back of the red framed mirror to hang it vertically. I hung it on the left side wall at the bathroom entrance, where the narrower wood frame mirror was. I used two 50 pound OOK hooks. I then took the wicker rack off from behind the toilet, and one of the sailing pictures. I hung the wood frame mirror that I had just taken off with a 50 pound OOK hook and two 30 pound OOK hooks. I used a 20 pound OOK hook to hang the sailing picture above the mirror more securely, and another 20 pound OOK hook to hang the matching sailing picture to the right and above the wire rack on the right wall to the toilet. I used another 20 pound OOK hook to hang another sailing picture above the inside bathroom door. I put some of the items from the wicker rack that I removed on the wicker rack to left of the sink and some other items on the hand rail above the toilet tank. Thus the toilet area looks roomier with a mirror. I rehung the wicker rack to the right side of the bedroom bed above the speaker on the night stand with two 20 pound OOK hooks. I put some spare eye glasses and the VCR remote control on the wicker rack with two Harvard plates and a pewter dish. I do not need to use the new Brita water pitcher filter yet. It is a dollar cheaper at Wal-Mart than CVS. I will put the Act II popcorn in the blue bookcase cupboard and the Brita filter on the shelf in the cupboard above the kitchen sink and microwave cover on top of the microwave with the other one. I tried on the clothes that I bought and they fit fine, but the pants are almost a bit tight, so I guess I should try loose weight, but since they are already washed, they will not shrink anymore. Wal-Mart also sells a 5,000 BTU General Electric air conditioner for $77. CIO Note: <888> 06/16/04 Wednesday 9:45 A.M.: I had a telephone call from a relative at 9 P.M. last night and a another friend called at 11 P.M.. I was up at 7:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry preserves, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I have a pair of khakis, a polo shirt, and a short sleeve dress shirt to return and exchange at T. J. Maxx http://www.tjmaxx.com/ , so when I go out, I will drive up to T.J. Maxx in Wilton, Connecticut up on Route 7. I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up and go out. Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 8:35 P.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 8:10 P.M.: I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I used all of the regular ingredients, and for the cheddar cheese portion I used Cabot's www.cabotcheese.com 50% less fat Vermont white cheddar cheese. I had the salad with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 7:00 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I bought a Sony Radio Cassette Player WM-AF54 Walkman Sports with headphones for $3. I then went down by the waterfront. I chatted with a regular fisherman. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various locations. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I browsed the 70% off rack. I bought from the rear of the top floor of the store for 50% off a green glass sugar jar pourer for $2.49 and two six ounce green glass vinegar and oil pourers for $4.19 both plus .40 tax for $7.08 total. I then completed my walk, and I used the bathroom at the senior and arts center. I then returned home. I scraped off the labels off the sugar pourer and vinegar and oil pourers with my scraping blade, and then I scoured the remaining glue with a scouring steel sponge and hot water. I then filled the sugar pourer with sugar, and I put it on the dining room table, and I filled the oil pourer with olive oil and the vinegar pourer with balsamic vinegar, and I put them on the dining room table. I put in two new Walgreen Heavy Duty AA batteries in the Sony Walkman, and it works just fine. I noticed the original headphones have to have the ear pieces fitted into the ears for better listening quality. I put it on the wire rack behind the apartment entrance door with the other radios. I put CVS drain cleaner in the bathroom sink before I left, so I will now plunge it with the plunger and run hot water through it to clean it out. I am also running Win Doctor on the Dell backup computer. I drank some cold filtered water. I shut down the Dell backup computer. CIO Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 2:05 P.M.: I went through my email. On the Dell backup computer, I finished installing Windows XP SP2 RC2 and the Updates update, and it is all running just fine. I put the Windows XP SP2 RC2 disk on the top right of the wicker rack to the right of the primary computer chair. I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up, and I will go out. CIO Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 1:30 P.M.: On the Dell backup computer, I finished the Windows XP Professional restore installation, and my configuration is installed as before. I am just finishing installing the Windows XP SP2 RC2 upgrade, and it is just about done installing. I ate a piece of cheese cake with iced tea. I am going through my email. CIO Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 1:00 P.M.: I picked up my mail. CIO Note: <888> 06/15/04 Tuesday 11:40 A.M.: I was up at 9:30 A.M.. On the Dell backup computer after the uninstallation in the last message, it would not start properly. I tried a System Restore restore, but that made it not start. I am now installing Windows XP Professional with the restore option, and it seems be installing properly. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry preserves, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I burned a copy of Windows XP SP2 RC2 to a CD. CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 11:55 P.M.: I uninstalled Windows XP SP2 #2142 off the Dell Backup computer, and I downloaded Windows XP SP2 RC2, and I will install it tomorrow on the Dell backup computer. I will now shut down both computers, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 10:45 P.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 10:05 P.M.: I am microwaving a 13 5/8 ounce Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Chicken Fettuccini with broccoli, which I will eat with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 9:55 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various locations. I used the bathroom at the senior and arts center. I drove down by the waterfront. I went by the Greenwich Library, and I read the Greenwich Time, and I started reading the article in National Geographic about "The End of Cheap Oil". I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought broccoli crowns at $1.99 a pound for $2.21, a bulb of Elephant garlic for $1.99, a Maria Callender 16 ounce frozen chicken pot pie for $2.50, and a Maria Callender 16 ounce frozen turkey pot pie for $2.50 for $9.20 total. I made the purchase with my Bank of New York Master Card Debit card, since I did not originally intend to purchase the pot pies. I then returned home, and I put away my purchases, and I drank some iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 6:10 P.M.: I put away the laundry. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go out.

I slept from about 1:30 P.M. to 3:45 P.M., when I got a telephone call from Ziff Davis inviting me to a conference at Microsoft's New York headquarters, which I declined, since I do not go into Manhattan. I started two loads of laundry, and I am just about ready to start the dry cycle. I put clean linens on the bed in the bedroom. CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 12:20 P.M.: I ran Ad-aware 6.0. I then made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I did not use broccoli. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Cabot's Cheese www.cabotcheese.com 50% less fat Vermont white cheddar cheese. I used all of the other regular ingredients.

CIO Note: <888> 06/14/04 Monday 8:50 A.M.: After breakfast I took 54 aspirin, and I split them in half with my pill splitter, and I now have 108 half aspirin to take a half of a aspirin every morning with my vitamins and supplements, which is the equivalent of one baby aspirin.
