On the Epox computer, I had to do another XP Professional Automatic System recovery backup from the first hard drive to the second hard drive, because the previous backup was only a backup and not Automatic System Recovery backup. I then did a Paragon 10 backup of the C: drive to the Seagate external hard drive. I am now defragmenting the C: drive.

I did a 1% low level format with the Seagate utilities of both hard drives. I then tried to restore the Paragon Restore 10 backup of Windows XP Professional, but the Restore CD would not boot. After about a couple hours, I finally got it to work by disabling plug and play in the bios. Once I install the updates on Windows XP Professional, I will install Windows 8 Preview beta on a second partition on the first hard drive, but first I will do a Paragon Backup 10 of the XP Professional partition to the second hard drive.

I also installed its Gnome interface and updates, the Chome web browser, Skype, Adobe Media Player, the Adobe Reader and OpenOffice for Linux OpenSUSE. When installing OpenOffice, one has to install each of the *.rpm files from the opened download which takes time and then install the Desktop *.rpm for OpenSUSE. It is a very nice free operating system. CIO Note: <888> 07/16/12 Monday 12:30 A.M. Maine lawmaker working to remedy low lobster prices putting pinch on fishermen | Fox News .

I went out, and I threw out an old bathroom scale. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. At the top of Greenwich Avenue, I moved the green bench off the grass back to its usual place on the sidewalk. The water sprinklers came on at 11:40 P.M., so the bench might still get wet from the sprinkler system which makes it uncomfortable to sit on the bench. After I finished my walk, I sat out and watched Bartlett Dairy & Food Service make its regular midnight delivery to Starbucks. It was a moderately busy evening with a few young people pub crawling. I then went by Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $10.01 of self service premium V-Power gasoline for $4.299 a gallon for 2.329 gallons at odometer reading of 70626 miles for 23 miles driving since last Sunday July 8, 2012 for 10.273 miles per gallon in mostly local night traffic.

CIO Note: <888> 07/14/12 Saturday 10:25 P.M. I will now go downtown and take a walk. CIO Note: <888> 07/14/12 Saturday 9:40 P.M. BBC News - Surfer dies in latest shark attack in Western Australia CIO Note: <888> 07/14/12 Saturday 9:30 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. I am not sure whether I will go downtown or not. I figure that older people like myself at age 62 should not be out downtown at night after 10 P.M. at night. There are younger people in their 20s and 30s that seem to go to the local pubs. I guess the Tapas Restaurants in CT, Spanish Restaurants CT, Barcelona Wine Bar Restaurants in Greenwich, Stamford, Sono, New Haven, West Hartford is the local hot night spot downtown. Traditionally Spanish restaurants do not open until 10 P.M. at night and do not start to get busy until 11 P.M. at night. CIO Note: <888> 07/14/12 Saturday 8:45 P.M.

I called up Safelite AutoGlass® - Windshield Repair & Replacement , and they can not fix the plastic clip on the passenger side front door window, and they said I would have to take it to an Audi dealership to get it repaired which would be over $400. I think for now I will leave the board inside the door that props up the window closed. For the procedure this video is available on the internet Audi A6 Power Window Repair - YouTube , however I am afraid of breaking the glass is I tried to do it myself. I am also not sure if the new replacement plastic clip is available to fix the defective clip that came with the Audi when it was new. I think Audi should have a recall, since they know the plastic window clip is defective, and they should fix it for free. CIO Note: <888> 07/14/12 Saturday 8:45 A.M. I threw out the garbage.

In a large salad bowl, I put in a half head of iceberg cello lettuce that I broke up into smaller pieces that are eatable. I added 40 baby carrots that I cut into quarters lengthwise. I then added a 3/4th of a cup of broccoli crowns that I cut into half inch to three quarters cubic inch pieces. I then added a half of a peeled cucumber that I sliced into 1/8th inch thick slices.
