Note: <888> 11/17/07 Saturday 2:30 A.M.:  I watched some television.  I will now go to bed.  CIO 

Note: <888> 11/17/07 Saturday 12:55 A.M.:  I ate the last of the same meal as the last three nights.  I watered the plants.  I put more white vinegar in the scent bowl in the living room.  I threw out the garbage, and the old periodical literature.  I mailed the newspaper article copies in the mail room downstairs.  Instead of mixing my five mixture juice in the morning, I mixed it up in a 64 ounce juice container to have available for breakfast or whenever.  I chatted with a relative.  CIO 

Note: <888> 11/16/07 Friday 10:20 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative at 9 A.M..  I woke up at 11:30 A.M., when the building custodian delivered two packages from the mail.  The order for two Strong Arm Liftgate Window Lift Supports for $24.99 each LIFT SUPPORTS - GAS-CHARGED REPLACEMENTS - JCWhitney Replacement auto parts Parts less 15% discount of $7.50 with promo code "BESHKX7" plus $8.99 standard shipping for $51.47 total arrived, and the Trail Model Soft-Shell Jacket: Jackets at L.L.Bean for $29.95 in extra large in colonial red with free 5 to 7 day shipping for $29.95 total arrived.  I hung the new red jacket in the right living room closet.  It can be worn on rainy or damp days, since it is waterproof, or it could be worn on a colder day as an inner shell.  I installed the two window lift supports on the rear window on the Buick wagon.  They remove and reattach by removing the small circular clamps on each end with a small screw driver.  Thus the rear window opens and closes properly now.  I left the old supports in the rear cargo area.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice and pineapple juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  Earlier I picked up the mail.  I used a bottle brush to clean out the film from the upper toilet tank, and then I put in a new blue toilet tablet.  I went out, and I went by the George Weston Bakeries by the Arnold Bread outlet, and I bought two six packs of New York Everything bagels for $1.79 a six pack, a 21 ounce Entenmann's pumpkin pie for $2.25, a 14 ounce bag of Arnold Premium herbal stuffing for $2.79 for $8.62 total.  I then went by Gateway Auto Supply, and I bought two quarts of Cartrol 10W40 oil for $3 each and .36 tax for $6.36 total.  I put them in the driver's side rear storage compartment where the spare antifreeze is.   I then went out to Grass Island, and I walked around the park out there.  I noticed that a former neighbor's boat is still in the water, and it has not been taken in for the winter.  I then went down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and I enjoyed the clear cold view of Long Island sound over to Long Island.  I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I used the bathroom at the Senior Center before and after.  During my walk, I stopped by the ATM machine at the Chase Bank, and I stopped by CVS, and I picked up a prescription.  I next went by the Greenwich Library, and I made five copies of a newspaper article for 50 cents total.  I chatted with the Library Security Guard about natural wildlife I have run into in America in my explorations.  I then returned home.  I chatted with a relative.  CIO 

Note: <888> 11/16/07 Friday 5:20 A.M.:  I downloaded Vista SP1 RC1 full install and upgrade, and I burned them to DVD.  However, you can not install them over the earlier version of Vista SP1, and I do not think at this time it is necessary to reconfigure my beta machines, so I will keep them for archival purposes.  I watched a bit of television.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/16/07 Friday 1:55 A.M.:  jackdaniels.com is probably the last thing we still export in America that anyone wants overseas.  This morning before going to bed, I ate two bowls of goldfish crackers.  I just ate another bowl, and I finished off the box.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/16/07 Friday 1:30 A.M.:  After dinner, I relaxed a bit.  I went downstairs, and I picked up my mail.

It is my considered legal opinion that they could legally sold at A.H. Reese's Duty free liquor in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, which is a U.S. territory, and which is allowed to sell Duty Free liquor and various foreign export brands.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/15/07 Thursday 8:05 P.M.:  I woke up at noon today.  I chatted with a relative.  A relative of my relative's died in Greenwich this past Tuesday.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice and pineapple juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out, and I went by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I dropped off the package for UPS to return the two analog cable boxes.  I then went by CVS, and I returned the faulty Philips 25 foot coaxial cable for a $6.15 refund.  I then went to my usual 3 P.M. appointment.  I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I bought a Holiday Doubler scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I chatted with a computer person there.  I stopped by the ATM machine at the Chase Bank.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought two 80 ounce Cheer detergent with color guard for $3.99 each, two CVS sensitive skin shaving gel for $2.29 each, and a 12 pack of CVS disposable twin blades for $4.99 and a second package for $2.49 and $1.20 tax for $21.24 total.  I also got $2 cash back with a coupon.  I also filled out a coupon form with my email address, and they will email me a $4 off coupon.  I finished my walk, and I returned home.  I brought up my purchases.  I put them away.  I will now reheat and eat half of the remaining vermicelli and goulash sauce meal from last night, which I will put some grated parmesan cheese on with a glass of iced tea.  CIO     

Note: <888> 11/15/07 Thursday 5:45 A.M.:  I woke up yesterday at 9 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice and pineapple juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I went back to bed until 3 P.M..  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I chatted with a relative.  I surfed the internet.  I went outside, and I threw out the garbage, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I put about three tablespoons of olive oil in a stick proof frying pan along with three pads of 50% less fat butter, and I peeled and diced a medium large onion, and I turned on the electric burner heat to medium high, and once the fat began to bubble, and I added the onions, and two eight ounce London Broil hamburgers that I chopped into small half inch cubic pieces, and I added the beef to the frying pan, and I seasoned it with Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.  I then lightly browned the meat and blanched the onions, once they were ready, I put it all in a three quart pot, and I added a 26 ounce jar of Franceso Rinaldi tomato sauce, and I set the pot on medium high electric burner heat, and I then used the Cuisine Art slice blade to slice about 3/4th of a pound of baby carrots that I added and I used the chopping blade to chop about a half pound of broccoli crowns, and I added them, and I mixed them together.  I then used the shredding blade to shred about a eighth of a pound of New York Extra sharp cheddar cheese that I added, and I added slices of 4 ounces of Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese, and I also added about a fourth of a cup of Kikkoman soy sauce and seasoned it all with a half dozen dashes of Frank's hot sauce, Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Red Cayenne pepper.  I mixed it all together, and once it was bubbling I covered it, and simmered it on low electric burner heat for about 20 minutes.  At the same time, I put three quarts of water in a five quart pot, and I added a teaspoon of olive oil and a few dashes of sea salt, and I brought it to a boil, and I added a 16 ounce box of Ronzoni vermicelli, and I boiled it for 8 minutes.  I then used a colander to drain the vermicelli, and I put one third on a dinner plate, and I put the other two thirds in a flat Rubbermaid container, and I put one third of the sauce on the noodles, and I put the other two thirds in a Rubbermaid container.  I put a few grated tablespoons of parmesan cheese on the meal, and I ate it all with a glass of iced tea.  I cleaned up the kitchen.  I chatted with a relative.  I made up a batch of Formula One http://mikelouisscott.com/icetea.htm .  I then showered, and I cleaned up.  I went out, and I went by the ATM machine at the Chase Bank on Mason Street.  I then went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue.  I then went by Radio Shack in Cos Cob, and I bought a two pack of Heavy Duty F connectors for coaxial cable for $1.49 RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Connectors & connectivity: A/V connectors & adapters: Crimp-On RG-59 "F" Connector (2-Pack) and .09 tax for $1.58 total.  I then bought a Gold Series 15-1235 75-0hm Coax 4-way splitter/combiner for $12.99 RadioShack.com - Home Entertainment: Accessories: Video accessories: Adapters, splitters & amplifiers: 4-Way Splitter and .78 tax for $13.77 total.  I then went back by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought a 25 foot Philips coaxial cable for $5.99 and .36 tax for $6.35 total.  I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I walked up Arch street for a change on my way up and across Grigg street and back up the Avenue.  I sat out for a while.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks.  They have a new manager from Cuba.  I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  I then returned home.   I then removed the two analog Cablevision boxes from the Sony television and the Orion bedroom television.  I moved the Cablevision High Definition Digital box to on top of the Sony television in the living room.  I removed a defective 25 foot Philips cable that ran from the wall to the cable box, and I replaced it with a 10 foot cable that I took off the high definition setup on the computer. I then used a three foot cable in its place.  I use a short piece of good coaxial cable to connect the four splitter to the cable box, and I connected to it with another cable to a two splitter the bathroom and the Orion television in the bathroom.  I connected the Sony and the kitchen television to the four splitter.  I ran the new Philips 25 foot cable to the switch box for the HDTV setup on the computer.  All five televisions work clear as a bell of the High Definition cable box with all channels available, so they have more channels available, but they will always be the same on all of the televisions.  I packaged up the two cable boxes and the remotes in a box with a free UPS mailing sticker to return them.  Once Cablevision receives them, I will have two less $6 charges on my bill each month.  When I chatted with Cablevision, they told me the rates will be going up in December.  I took about six hours to all of that and test the cables and getting them all to work right.  I put the tea in the refrigerator to chill.  I was outbid for the dime bank, so I won't be buying it.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  I will be up at noon for my 3 P.M. appointment.   CIO

Note: <888> 11/14/07 Wednesday 1:50 A.M.:  I called up Microsoft to let them know that their anti piracy telephone number 1-800-RU-LEGIT does not work.

I am beginning to feel again like I have more gas than Saudi Arabia.  With all of the people that eat beans in the world, you would think that www.monsanto.com could come up with a type of bean that does not produce intestinal gas.  Of course Prince Charles is against genetically modified food, for what its worth.  I am off to Never Never Land.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 10:35 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative.  I will go through my email soon.  This is the television that I bought used for $40 today 13″ to 20″ Direct View TV - C-13110 and JVC | Canada | Archived Products C-13110 and Amazon.com: JVC C13110 13" TV: Electronics and Compare Prices and Read Reviews on JVC C-13110 13" TV at Epinions.com.  It says it was manufactured January 2000, but it could have been sold a year or two later.  It seems the JVC line of products www.jvc.com is a more expensive line of electronics.  According to this old advertisement link JVC C13110 13" TV , it sold new for $229.95, so I would say it is probably a pretty good television.  I could probably improved the reception better with a better short cable of the cable box and a better splitters, but it seems to work fine for now.  I am just using an inexpensive CVS 25 foot coaxial cable on it.  Yes it came with the remote control, but I change the channels with the living room cable box, so I get more channels.  Need to go through my email now.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 8:20 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative twice.  I made up a batch of http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/pbf.htm , and I ate it with a glass of iced tea.  I used a new white General Electric UL approved 15 foot extension cord that I had, and I ran it from the bathroom extension cord by the sink to over the doorway and down the wall to the small table with the bumble bee lamp on it that I use for a night light, and I plugged the lamp into it.  That way the power cord to it does not run underneath a rug.  In my apartment, there are no power cords running underneath rugs, which I would consider a fire hazard particularly if they are older power cords.  I will now go through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 6:15 P.M.:  I went out after the last message.  I went downtown, and I went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street.  I then went by the Senior and the Arts center, and I found a free parking place in front, so I sat outside for a while.  I then walked over to the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop, and I bought a year 2000 JVC 12 inch color television with remote control for $40.  I then went back to the Senior and the Arts center, and I picked up my car, and I went back by the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop, and I picked up the JVC television.  I then went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street again.  I then returned home, and I brought up the television.  I moved the bumble lamp from the bathroom bookcase, and I put it on the telephone table by the toilet.  I usually keep that light on all of the time like a night light.  I put the JVC television on the bookcase to the left as one enters the bathroom.  I connected its power to the extension cord at the base of the bookcase.  I then disconnected the 25 foot coaxial cable from the Northgate Syntax computer connected to the splitter on the floor at the far end of the sofa.  I also disconnected the two splitter at that location. I put in another two splitter, and I ran a shorter cable from it to the Northgate Syntax computer.  It may or may not work on the Northgate Syntax computer, since half of its clamps are missing, but I can get another cable for it later. I took a short six inch coaxial cable, and I refitted its fitting so it is tighter and more secure, and I used it to connect the two splitter to the other two splitter coming off the Sony television Cablevision digital television box, and I connected the 25 foot coaxial cable from the two splitter, and I strung it along the far wall into the bathroom, and I connected it up the JVC television.  I set the setting on the JVC television, and I have it tuned to channel 3, so whatever channel the living room television cable box is playing it will also play on the bathroom and the kitchen televisions.  The reception is perfect on the JVC television, so now one can watch television from the potty in the bathroom.  The bathroom does not have windows, so nobody would know anyone was in the apartment watching television if you get my drift.  I will leave the living room cable box turned on, so the three TVs will work, when the living room Sony television is turned off.  I usually have my Cable Boxes set to the default www.foxnews.com channel 67.   I thus have four regular televisions in the apartment plus the high definition television setup on the Vista computer, plus all four computers in the living room have TV cards, so by my count that makes 9 television setups.   Thus I do have a news room or multimedia setup along with all of my other office equipment.  I find that with the higher price of fuel, I am spending more time at home, so I am actually watching a bit more television than usual.  What else can one do for $2 to $3 a day?  I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 12:15 P.M.:  I went out, and I chatted with some neighbors.  I picked up my mail.  I ate a baloney and cheese sandwich with a dill pickle and potato chips and a glass of iced tea.  I will now go back downtown on an errand.  CIO  

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 11:15 A.M.: I went out after the last note, but I did not walk in the rain.  I stopped by the Food Emporium, and I bought four 8 ounce 1/3rd less fat Philadelphia cream cheese for $1 each, two 40 ounce boxes of Salada green tea for $2.50 each box, a half gallon of Florida Natural orange juice with calcium for $3, and six 9 ounce frozen Green Giant vegetables for $1 each, two spinach, two broccoli, one peas, and one broccoli and carrots, and a six 9 ounce frozen Green Giant teriyaki vegetables for $1.29 for $19.72 total.  I then went by CVS, and I bought three 12 mega roll packages of Scott toilet paper for $6.49 a 12 pack and $1.17 tax for $20.64 total.  I then went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street.  I then went down to the center of town, and it was too late in the morning to walk, since I would have had to pay to park.  I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and I chatted with a young Greek fellow from Norwalk.  He told me CompUSA is not there anymore.  I looked at the used televisions, and they have some there for $10.  I could use a smaller one which I could put in the bathroom.  My relative in Kennebunkport, Maine has a small Sharp television in the basement that is not being used, so I might bring it down next time I go up there in the coming spring.  I would use it in the bathroom, but I never used the other one in the bathroom before, so I do not really need it, since I do not sit on the throne for long periods or times, and I do not take baths only showers.  I then returned home.  I brought up my purchases.  I reported to a local security organization that the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop has a 5 foot by 3 foot slightly used nylon U.S.A. flag for sale for $10 in case they feel like replacing the one at the veterans monument across the street from the senior and the arts center.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 7:25 A.M.:  I showered, and I cleaned up earlier.  I will now put on some rainy weather clothes, and I will go out for a morning walk.  CIO

Note: <888> 11/13/07 Tuesday 7:05 A.M.:  I woke up at 9 A.M. yesterday. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice and pineapple juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I surfed the internet a bit.  I watched television a good part of the day.  I went outside, and I put a half quart of Castrol 10W40 motor oil in the Buick wagon filling it up.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I took a nap in the Ethan Allen recliner.  I watched some television.  During the day, I ate two bowls of goldfish crackers.  I ate a baloney and cheese sandwich with a dill pickle and potato chips and a glass of iced tea.  I watched some television.  I went to bed at 6 P.M..  I woke up at 3 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, two 10 ounce glasses of orange and grape and cranraspberry juice and pineapple juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I put clean linens on the bed.  I did two loads of laundry.  I will now do some regular internet work.  I did not work on the computer yesterday, since it was the Veterans Day holiday, I relaxed.  I feel better today after a bit of a rest.  If I win the tin dime bank, I could stick a dime in it every time I have a cigarette, but I don't think I have that much extra money.  The Queen Mary II was in Manhattan last Saturday, and it will be back next Tuesday QM2 - Itinerary - 2007 .  I noticed when I took my walk this past Sunday, that MacDuff's the pub across the street from the Greenwich movie theatre on Railroad Avenue was advertising bottles of beer for $3 and a tray of nacho chips for $7, but that might have just been a promotion for the Sunday football crowd.  I know Sarah Ferguson Sarah, Duchess of York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia had dinner there, when they first opened a year ago, so possibly they might have British Pub fare.  Alas, with the price of fish in America anymore, it is hard to find "Fish and Chips" like the good old days when Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips Welcome to Arthur Treachers, Pudgies Famous Chicken was only about 15 blocks north of the British Consulate on Third Avenue in Manhattan just north of the Sign of the Dove restaurant, and everyone in http://mikelouisscott.com/fred.htm 's group of friends called Third Avenue, "Queen's Boulevard" because of the large group of shoppers around Bloomingdale's Shop Bloomingdales.com department store.    Believe it or not according to the Old History of Manhattan, one of the first farms in Manhattan owned by the Scott family was called "Bloomingdale Farm".  I even saw Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip Welcome to the official web site of the British Monarchy visit Bloomingdales when I was in the receiving line there on July 5, 1976, so I have seen them before.  After the visit at Bloomingdales, they drove up Third Avenue in a Gold Rolls Royce waving to the crowd from the sun roof on their way to their next event at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York: metmuseum.org where I had also spent a lot of time walking around in Manhattan.  CIO
