I am just about ready to eat a Stop and Shop cheese pizza that I added grated parmesan and Romano cheese to along with garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning and olive oil.

Note: <888> 04/27/11 Wednesday 5:45 P.M. I woke up at 1:30 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I watched the Federal Reserve chairman news conference on the Fox Business Network. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I chatted with a friend. I chatted with a relative. I had to open up the primary work computer CPU case, and detach and reattach the third hard drive IDE cable or second IDE1 slave drive, since it was not being recognized in the system. It now works fine. I installed the updates on the Vista partition.

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Have a good day. CIO
Note: <888> 04/27/11 Wednesday 4:45 A.M. I ate some chili with beans and rice and watered down punch. One of the original people I chatted with on the internet, when I first went online with a telephone modem over fifteen years ago was a Scottish engineer. I explained to him what my back ground was, and he told me I should say I am an engineer, but I do not have any educational degrees in engineering. Back then I also chatted with somebody up in Disco Island in Greenland which is pretty far north. People do not seem to like to chat over the internet anymore, although it is much faster than it was in the old days. I do know English which is pretty common around the world, but most people do not seem to have time to chat anymore during the early morning hours. I have kept my web log for a long time, but it seems there are not many people whom read it, but it is obviously based on my own experience. Well, working on the internet at home is more interesting than going over to a pub in White Plains, New York, and watching www.ibm.com play 50 cent computer games, which is all I saw them doing in the old days, but there were quite a few night people there from other professions including a few of the traveling public. I have to reboot a minute after updates. I put the Lasko box fan on top of the white wicker breakfast tray in front of the living room air conditioner to blow the cool air around more. I have not done a good apartment cleaning since Christmas time, so probably sometime in May, I should do Spring House Cleaning. CIO
Note: <888> 04/27/11 Wednesday 3:15 A.M. I posted 61 pictures of recent minor changes and acquisitions in the apartment over the last couple of months and some pictures to remind one what is really here.

Note: <888> 04/26/11 Tuesday 11:25 P.M. I ate three scrambled eggs and four double strips of fried bacon and a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread and a glass of watered down punch and a cup of green tea with splenda and lemon juice. When the yellow tulips are gone, I will transplant the aloe plant into the tulip pot. CIO
Note: <888> 04/26/11 Tuesday 10:05 P.M. I went way out east to downtown Greenwich Avenue after the last note. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I chatted with a local contractor. I stopped by CVS, and I bought Buy Gold Bond Foot Cream Therapeutic online at CVS.com for $7.99 and .48 tax for $8.47 total. I then bought a 10 inch high aloe plant in a three inch plastic pot for $3.99 and .24 tax for $4.23 total. I sat out after I finished my walk. The long stem tulips are now out at the veterans monument across the street from the senior and the arts center. They are various colors. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a local lawyer. I then went by the A&P Fresh, and I bought an 8 ounce jar of Golds hot horseradish for $1.99, and fresh Dole bananas for .79 a pound for $2.44, and a frozen Great American Seafood 1.25 pound filet of Wild Alaskan salmon for $7.99 for $12.42 total. They also have 8 ounce frozen Jimmy Buffett shrimp meals for half price for $4.99. They have a large selection of prepared frozen food items including lots of interesting tid bits. As I recall Huntington Hardford's father was Lord Hartford, but Huntington Hartford was also of Austrian descent. I next went to the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $6 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $4.639 a gallon for 1.294 gallons for 17.4 miles driving since Sunday April 17, 2011 at odometer reading of 68484 miles for 13.447 miles per gallon driving in mostly local traffic. I then returned back home. I put the aloe plant in front of the living room air conditioner, so it will get some sunlight. I put away my purchases. I chatted with a relative. CIO
Note: <888> 04/26/11 Tuesday 4:50 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. The order with tracking of FedEx Tracking on the order for Microsoft XSA-00001 Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 - OEM for $24.99 and $7.59 ground shipping for $32.58 total arrived. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will shower and clean up, and I will go downtown for an evening stroll. CIO
Note: <888> 04/26/11 Tuesday 4:20 P.M. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. CIO
Note: <888> 04/26/11 Tuesday 3:50 P.M. After the last note, I chatted with a friend twice. I ate a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance spread. I watched the movie "Gettysburg". I ate some triscuit crackers and cheese. I went to bed at 3 A.M.. I woke up briefly at 10 A.M., and I turned both air conditioners on. I finally woke up at 1 P.M..

Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 7:00 P.M. I installed the All Products / Air Conditioners & Dehumidifiers / Window-Mounted Air Conditioners / FRA086AT7 in the living room window. I have it setup, so I can still open the window and use the fan. I am currently running both air conditoners at high level to cool down the apartment. CIO
Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 5:55 P.M. I found the other Panasonic air conditioner knob. It had rolled underneath the right side of the bed, when I lifted it into position. I like have the living room window opened this time of year for fresh air, but it is a bit warm in the living room at 82 degrees Fahrenheit. I can install the air conditioner in the living room in less than an hours time, but since it will be cooler later on in the week, I will think about it for a day or two, since I would like to try to save a bit on energy, until I have to use them both. I pulled down the living room shade another 18 inches, so the direct sun from the west will not come in as much this time of day. CIO
Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 5:30 P.M. I went outside, and I picked up the mail. I brought up my folding cart from the rear of the Audi. I used it to move the Panasonic 12,000 BTU air conditioner into the bedroom from the living room. Installed it in the bedroom window, and I installed Plexiglas on the left hand side of it, and I sealed it with duct tape and a strip of foam rubber. It works just fine. However, somehow one of the two knobs has disappeared, so I only have a knob on the fan switch, and I left the thermostat on 10. However, I can change the knobs from between positions, if I need to use the knob on the thermostat switch. I looked around, but I can not find the second knob. I went outside, and I put the cart back into the trunk of the Audi. I chatted with neighbors. The upload is not working for my remote server site for some odd reason, so I can not post my notes there. CIO
Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 3:00 P.M. I went back to bed until 2 P.M.. There only seems to be mostly children's programming on television at this hour of the day. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. CIO
Note: <888> 04/25/11 Monday 12:45 P.M. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. CIO

I made the cheese burger as noted below, which I ate with my usual steamed vegetable mixture with Smart Balance spread and olive oil and a glass of watered down punch and a cup of green tea with splenda and lemon juice. It is 76.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the apartment living room right now with the window opened, and the three fans goings. It is suppose to cool down later in the week. I will now shower and clean up. The six yellow tulips are fully opened. CIO

Note: <888> 04/24/11 Sunday 9:20 P.M. I woke up at noon. I chatted with two relatives. I went back to bed until 4 P.M..

I watched most of a television program about Ray Kroc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia of McDonalds.com . It mentioned that Willard Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia was the first Ronald McDonald Ronald.com USA . They also have Ronald McDonald House Charities and Hamburger University - About McDonald's . When I was at nearby www.lfc.edu , I use to eat a lot of 15 cent McDonald hamburgers and 18 cent McDonald cheeseburgers. However, since I have been low on income recently, I can not afford their more expensive hamburgers. However, I have my own version of a hearty hamburger, I call the McMike which is an 8 ounce hamburger sautéed in olive oil and seasoned with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning, and steamed in soy sauce for the last two minutes with two slices of processed cheese on it and served on a Kaiser roll with ketchup. I flip the hamburger every minute when cooking it all together for 8 minutes except once the cheese is on it for the last two minutes. The 8 ounce burger is made with 100% lean ground eye round of beef about 1.25 inches thick and about five inches in diameter. One can also cook it with sliced onions and serve the onions on it, but then one's apartment smells a bit like onions. CIO
End of Scott's Notes week of 04/24/11:
Note: <888> 04/24/11 Sunday 7:10 A.M. The primary work computer stopped again, however when I opened it up again, it was working. I checked the cables. I do not have an air can to clean the inside of it. I found one big dust ball on a motherboard coil, and I removed that dust ball. I also installed the new Intel LAN card.
I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then shut down the primary work computer, and I will eat a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance Spread. I will then go to bed.
Showers today and 70 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO
Note: <888> 04/24/11 Sunday 5:15 A.M. Recently, sometimes, when I start up the primary work computer, the wireless mouse does not work. However, that is easily fixed by unplugging the wireless sending unit from the USB 2.0 hub behind the keyboard and plugging it back in. CIO
Note: <888> 04/24/11 Sunday 4:45 A.M. I watched the movie "Angels and Demons". It was interesting to see the movie shots around Roma, Italia and the www.vatican.va . By religion I happen to be Episcopal, Dutch Reform, and Presbyterian. However, my paternal grandmother was Roman Catholic from the Gard family, so by heritage I am a mutt. I have actually once been at the Vatican. After I finished my studies and travels at and out of Florence, Italy during the winter of 1972, that April 1972, I took the train from Florence, Italy to Rome, Italy. I wandered around the City, and I found a nice quiet dark place that evening with a lot of colonnades which I wandered around. I sat out by the steps in the dark watching taxi cabs come and go. I did not know what the place was, but it was quiet and peaceful. I wandered over for part of the evening over to the Spanish Steps, where there was more activity with lots of people. However, I spent most of the night sitting up by the steps by the long group of colonnades. I did not know it was the Vatican. It was just a quiet dark peaceful place, where nobody bothered me, while I was sitting up all night. I was on limited funds, so I was trying to save money by not taking a pensione room. Early that morning, I caught the bus out to the Leonardo Da Vinci airport, for my flight to Athens, Greece, where I met up with George Cary at the airport as I recall. It is rather strange for the last 22 years, I have ended up living at 71 Vinci Drive still staying up all night. Of course even before Europe in 1972, I liked being awake at night. Back in Illinois at www.lfc.edu , I would frequently stay awake all night. I recall, they had an old Jesuit Monastery in Lake Forest, Illinois that had been brought over piece by piece from somewhere in Europe, so I would assume people in the church where there before I was there. Nearby between Libertyville, Illinois and Mundelein, Illinois was the Retreat for the Archdiocese of Chicago which nobody used, but it was fully maintained with lots of imposing brick buildings and colonnades and even an 18 hole golf course. It might be where Saint Mary's Lake is The Archdiocese of Chicago Retreats. It was built during World War II in case the Vatican was kicked out of Europe by the Nazi as an alternative location in case the Vatican had to relocate. Of course it was not as imposing with as much art work as the Vatican. This might be it University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary , but when I drove around it one winter, it was also abandoned. CIO
Note: <888> 04/24/11 Sunday 1:25 A.M. My friends that normally come out and visit on Easter Sunday will not be coming out this years, since they are elsewhere with the flu.

Note: <888> 04/23/11 Saturday 11:55 P.M. The primary work computer quit working. I opened up the case, and I took out the video card, and I reseated the memory. I tighten the power connections to the video card, when I put it back in, and I also tightened the power connections to the hard drives. I cleaned out some dust. I found a hard drive dip pin that I saved. I put in a new 2032 CMOS battery. I did not have to reset the CMOS settings. The primary work computer seems to work just fine now. I chatted with a friend. The friend told me I should get some Gold Bond Medicated - Healing Since 1908 and Gold Bond Medicated > Pain Relieving Foot Cream . It costs $8 at CVS Buy Gold Bond Foot Cream Therapeutic online at CVS.com . I will now make and eat a 21 ounce frozen Stouffer's meat and tomato lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a glass of watered down punch with a cup of green tea with splenda and lemon juice.
