Note: <888> 01/08/11 Saturday 11:55 P.M. I watched part of a movie about the His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama | The Office of His Holiness The Dalai Lama . Not much ever happens with me in Greenwich, Connecticut, since I was on a night schedule for so many years. They daytime people have learned to ignore me, and I guess when I used to drive into Manhattan at night, not many people were awake at night there too. Still at night it is more peaceful and less busy than in the daytime. We use to get a few teenagers skate boarding on Greenwich Avenue, but I guess internet gaming has taken over that past time. When I explored Europe back in 1972, nobody paid any attention to me, since I was just 21 years old with a Swiss Infantry back pack that I bought for $3 at the Florence, Italy flea market. Back then I did not venture any further north than Grenoble, France, since I figured it might be too cold in northern Europe, which I had read so much about. However, northern Italy and Spain and southern France were not really that much warmer. I guess the people in Florence, Italy were confused that I did not spend all of my time there, but I figured on my budget, I would not be making it back to Europe for a while, so I wanted to see a little bit more of Europe that I could afford to see. As I recall, I wore an Abercrombie and Fitch jacket that I found on the Farm in Knollwood, Illinois. When I got to Florence, Italy a classmate Ted Eaton told me that it was his jacket that he had lost. However, I did not give it back to him, since I needed a winter jacket. As I recall, I lost the Abercrombie and Fitch jacket later at American Express in Athens, Greece, when I put it down to check on my mail. Thus some back packer from around the world ended up with it. I enjoyed seeing Barcelona, Spain, since it was a bit warmer, and it was an enjoyable walk up the Ramblas watching all of the pedestrians. I saw all of the students protesting in Grenoble, France, and the French students seem to spend most of their time in coffee shops chatting. Florence, Italy was an older group of people, since I was in the historical part of the City. I quickly changed from drinking beer at the Red Carter to Chianti which was cheaper. The Italians probably figured that I was use to sleeping a lot, since I usually did not get up until about dinner time. There is so much traffic in Florence, Italy, one does not want a room with noise from the street, and I was lucky to have a quiet room on an inside open area that was relatively quiet. In Greece, we had to show up at class, since we did a lot of traveling by bus, so we had to do be on the group's schedule. Thus I did not get my usual amount of sleep in Greece and Turkey. I recall it was about a 10 to 12 hour flight on TWA from Athens, Greece back to Boston. I think I then flew out to Lake Forest, Illinois for graduation, but I had a few beers the night before graduation, so I did not actually make it to graduation. My roommate in Greece was George Cary, and he showed up later in Lake Forest after touring Italy and France, and as I recall, we threw a Great Gatsby party at a friend's grandmother's great estate. I tried living in Chicago, Illinois, but I could not get a job, so after a side trip down to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, I returned to my family's house in Boston and after New Years 1973, I arrived in Manhattan to take on the world. Still with a www.lfc.edu degree in Economics, nobody was interested in hiring me, so I mostly helped out around the family house in Greenwich, Connecticut, once my family moved back here from Boston in June of 1973. Thus I spent a lot of time in Manhattan walking around exploring the City, but having seen most of Manhattan, I figure I do not need to see it anymore. There are probably some people that I once knew still there, but I guess they forgot about me a long time ago. I looked younger in the period I was there on an off from January 1973 to February 1982, but I was frequently on a night schedule, and as I recall not much seem to be going on, except a lot of people walking around going about their business. Nobody seemed to know anything about Greenwich, Connecticut and they assumed I was from Greenwich Village not Greenwich, Connecticut. I met mostly people from Long Island, since I guess there are more people from Long Island in Manhattan than Fairfield County, Connecticut. The Long Island people seemed to think they were the Blue Blood aristocrats, and I was just some sort of a curiosity. When I was in Nantucket until December 1983, I enjoyed the peace and quiet there, but I was working so much at the Languedoc restaurant, I actually did not have much free time for peace and quiet. I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983 after side trips to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Vero Beach, Florida and Toronto, Canada and a couple of weeks homeless in Manhattan living out of the East Side Airline Terminal Building just south of the www.un.org . I use to drive into Manhattan at night occasionally until about 20 years ago, when I got mugged. Thus I think I have only been in Manhattan three or four times since the mugging twenty years ago. Nobody bothers me too much out here, since I spend a lot of my free time observing outside around the Greenwich Police Department. Still anyone over 30 years old might have seen a lot of me in Manhattan in the old days. I figure I am more productive out here in Greenwich, Connecticut than watching Manhattan people doing whatever it is they do. Thus I am like the Dali Lama living in exile out here in Greenwich, Connecticut having been rejected by the urban majority who do not like night people. CIO Note: <888> 01/08/11 Saturday 9:45 P.M.

I woke up after the last note at 8 P.M.. I chatted with a relative. I ate a two day old muffin. I watched part of the movie "Patton" on television. I chatted with a friend. I went to bed at midnight. I woke up at 10 A.M.. I chatted with a friend. Apparently in Wilton and Bridgeport, they had eight to ten inches of snow. We only had two to three inches of snow here. 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, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I went back to bed until 2 P.M. The kitchen stove fan was running slowly, so I took off its filter, and I oiled it where I was able to oil it, and it now runs just fine. I ate a day old muffin. I washed the breakfast dishes. I put clean linens on my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I did three wash loads of laundry, and I am now doing two dryer loads.

It is cold enough that Carr Valley Cheese Co. - Wisconsin Cheddar, American Originals, Artisanal and Award Winning Cheeses can probably ship cheese now. Steve Bahl who is involved with Fennimore Cheese use to have an apartment above the funeral parlor near the Post Office in Key West, Florida. He looked German, so more than likely there were other Germans down in Key West, Florida; when I was last there in February 1982. It was so busy there, because it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in New York City that there was no place for me to stay there, so they shipped me back up north free of charge. There was also somebody that looked like Nelson Rockefeller that had an apartment near the Key West Police department. There was somebody from Canada that looked like Prince Andrew that live in a garage apartment near the Casa Marina Key West Hotel Resorts & Florida Keys Beach Accommodations - Casa Marina Key West . There was somebody that looked like Prince Charles that lived in the motel opposite the Southern Most House. However, a lot of people look like other people down in Key West, so it is hard to tell whom is whom. Back in 1982, I knew two people that looked Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, but they gave me different names. They lived in a trailer near the Boca Chica Naval Base. There were Coral Snakes around the trailer.

Apparently they give away free samples in the grocery stores down south, which they do not do around here. I ate a 10 ounce Maria Callendar Chicken teriyaki meal with a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance spread and a glass of watered down punch and two clementines. CIO Note: <888> 01/07/11 Friday 4:15 P.M.

CIO Note: <888> 01/05/11 Wednesday 8:00 P.M. In the real world, people do things based on their lifetime experiences, so everyone has different experiences, so most everyone has different routines. In Greenwich, Connecticut, we are a more northern Nordic international community, so I suppose the Nordic people have different routines compared to me, since I have spent about nine years of my 60 years of life living down south, which is a different experience compared to the northern people whom have never been south of the Mason Dixon line, except on television. Since I once worked as a dishwasher for three months at the best French restaurant in Florida which was La Vielle Maison in Boca Raton, Florida, I have seen some very good meals prepared. Also way out in the ocean way out in Nantucket Island, where I worked as a dish washer pot scrubber on and off mostly summers and fall from 1977 to 1983, I learned a little bit about cooking and food preparation compared to people whom have little kitchen experience. Since my budget is limited here in Greenwich, Connecticut, I tend to eat simple meals by myself. Also since we have so many very good expensive restaurants downtown and in the Greenwich, Connecticut area, I am sure the wealthy people are still eating well despite the current recession. Since I can not afford to eat in the local restaurants, I do not know what it costs to dine out anymore, but I do not know I can not afford to eat at www.mcdonalds.com let along the more expensive restaurants in town. If you do not know how to cook, the local Stop and Shop has a small Boston Market area, where one can buy a rotisserie chicken or some other simpler prepared meals. The A&P Fresh has a very large section of prepared foods, and it is not too expensive compared to restaurants. The best simple meal that one could prepare would probably be a 6 ounce can of solid white albacore tuna fish which on sale would be about a dollar, and one could drain the water out, and rinse it with the lid on underneath cold water, and then flake it with a fork in a bowl, and then add a small amount of Italian seasoning which is not expensive at CVS about a dollar a jar, and then a few of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil which costs about $23 for a three liter can at the Stop and Shop, and then one mixes it all together, and put it a plate with a roll or slices of French bread with a little olive oil on the bread. CIO Note: <888> 01/05/11 Wednesday 7:40 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I cooked a breaded boneless breast of chicken which I ate with a half portion of my flavored rice mixture with steamed baby carrot lengthwise quarter slices and small broccoli crowns 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. I watched a little bit of television. CIO Note: <888> 01/05/11 Wednesday 4:20 P.M. Infrasound Laboratory I guess the reason this does not work PCI SATA 4PORT CONTROLLER NON RAID CARD WORK WINDOWS 7 - eBay (item 110623725693 end time Jan-10-11 23:36:36 PST) is that it says in the specifications, one needs to use a Pentium Class computer, and I am using an AMD computer.

I put the tire gauge in the driver's side door pocket on the Audi. It uses special batteries, when the batteries need to be replaced. I tested the 1998 Audi with the MaxiScan, and it shows NO ERROR CODES. The connector on the Audi is underneath the left side of the dashboard to the far left. I looked in the 1998 Audi A6 manual, and on pages 81 and 82, it shows how to reset the "INSP" light, which I did. Thus the trip odometer now displays when the Audi is turned on instead of the "INSP" light. I picked up the mail. I left the Maxiscan with its information on the Epox computer keyboard on the dining room table for now. I guess I will eventually put it in the Audi trunk storage compartment. CIO Note: <888> 01/05/11 Wednesday 12:35 P.M. I woke up at 6 A.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, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I went back to until 11 A.M.. I chatted with a relative. I ate a Maria Callendar 10 ounce tortellini Romano meal with a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance spread and a glass of watered down punch. I washed the dishes. At www.cl-p.com , my electricity bill for December 2010 was $260.52 for 33 days for 1493 kWh with an average of 45.24 kWh a day with an average temperature of 30.6 degrees Fahrenheit. For December 2009 for 33 days, it was $251.11 for 1352 kWh and 40.97 kWh per day with an average temperature 30.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus with the new double pane windows that were installed in May 2009, my electricity bill is basically the same. I have the thermostat set at the same setting as last year. The living room is set at 78 degrees Fahrenheit which makes the living room 71 degrees Fahrenheit, and the bedroom is set at 64 degrees Fahrenheit which makes the bedroom about 66 degrees Fahrenheit. I do not use the bathroom electric heater. The actual apartment temperature is the same as last year. Thus it would seem the new double pane windows are not saving any on energy. However, I no longer have the double layer of curtains hanging on the windows. The apartment is a bit less drafty. I am currently on the Rate 7 night rate, where from 8 P.M. to noon, I pay a cheaper rate, and it is slightly higher from noon to 8 P.M.. CIO Note: <888> 01/04/11 Tuesday 8:45 P.M.

In the primary Windows 7 Gigabyte computer, I installed the PCI SATA device with a SATA hard drive. However, the computer would not boot with it installed. Also the keystroke combination of CTRL-S or F4 would not bring up its RAID Bios Menu. I also had another problem, and I had to install a new Modware 3 foot IDE cable on the IDE0 connector that connects to the primary IDE0 master hard drive and the IDE0 slave DVD/RW drive. This all took some time. I took out the SATA hard drive and the PCI SATA device, and I stored it on the left side of the bedroom bookcase on top of the mahogany bureau. I still have the two identical Gigabyte motherboards with SATA connectors, if I ever need to install SATA hard drives, I could switch them out, which would be tedious. I chatted with a friend. I threw out the shipping box for the toner cartridge. I picked up the mail. CIO Note: <888> 01/04/11 Tuesday 2:25 P.M.

I reread www.pcworld.com magazine. I chatted with a staff member about the price of tea in China. I guess the Greenwich Library can no longer afford to subscribe to www.pcmag.com , since it is not longer available. My web site works from the Greenwich Library. I then went to my 11 A.M. appointment. I then returned home.
