Note: <888> 09/11/07 Tuesday 8:20 P.M..: I researched that $150 Swedish laptop computer made in Brazil, and it looks like it might be a scam. My relative and guests left for dinner at 7 P.M. for dinner. I steamed two fresh ears of Maine sweet corn on the cob which I ate with butter on them along with a couple of dozen cold cooked asparagus tips with vinaigrette dressing and a reheated baked boneless breast of chicken which I ate with a glass a glass of cold filtered water flavored with orange juice. I cleaned up the kitchen. I ate the last five hors d'oeuvres with tricuits and cheese and chutney. My relative has a lot of products from Stonewall Kitchen - Specialty Foods, Gifts, Gift Baskets, Kitchenware and Kitchen Accessories, Tableware, Home and Garden Décor and Accessories in the refrigerator which is nearby in York, Maine. I chatted with a relative. CIO

Note: <888> 09/11/07 Tuesday 2:25 P.M..: My relative's lunch guest decided not to show up because of all of the rain. I went out with my relative, and went by the Kennebunkport, Maine post office. We then returned the DVD to the video store in Kennebunk. We then drove around the waterfront beach area in Kennebunk. We toured the neighborhood of Fairfield Drive and Admiral's Way. I stood out briefly, and I watched the four surfers on the Kennebunk beach. We then drove along the Kennebunkport waterfront, and there were still a few cars viewing Walker's Point. The resort area still gets tour buses this time of year. I think the Colony Hotel has a Jamaican connection, since their winter hotel in Delray Beach, Florida employs a lot of Jamaican help. I then had lunch of the remaining chicken salad on a bed of lettuce and some left over pasta salad with potato chips and a glass of cold water. I put away my clean laundry. I ate a small piece of Cary's English toffee from Oregon. I will now take a nap. My relative has guests arriving at 6 P.M.. CIO

I showered, and I cleaned up. I brought in the garbage can from the street. We forgot to put out the blue newspaper recycling bin, but it is only 1/6th full, so it is due to go out in two weeks. I started a load of laundry, and the dry cycle will be started soon. The Panasonic 2.4 GHz cordless telephone works just fine with the new battery. I am charging up the 2.5 million watt rechargeable lantern. I will put the lantern and its recharging transformer at the kitchen entrance with the other flash lights. Its battery would get cold outside in the garage in the winter. It takes 15 hours to charge up. I have the small Schumacher automobile jump start system charging. It says it is fully charged, but I will leave it on for a while. I will then put it in the tool cabinet at the kitchen entrance to the house, so its charged battery will not get cold out in the garage in the winter. We will not be driving down until Sunday September 23, 2007, when we will meet up with other relative's at my apartment to transfer my relative. My relative is having a guest today and guests this evening, so I will be on my own while she entertains the guests. CIO

I went with my relative, and we went by the Radio Shack store in Biddeford, Maine, and I got a new rechargeable battery for the Panasonic 2.4 GHz cordless telephone in the kitchen. It will take six hours to charge up. We then stopped by a farm stand in Arundel, Maine, and we got four ears of fresh corn for .50 an ear and two yellow squash for .50 for $3 total. We then stopped by the Super Stop and Shop in Kennebunk, Maine, and we got a few minor items. We then went by the Ace hardware store in Kennebunk, Maine, and I got 2 four packs of Stickim mouse traps for $3.49 a four pack plus tax. We then returned back home in Kennebunkport, Maine. I will now help my relative prepare dinner. The coffee was delivered to my apartment in Greenwich at 5:09 P.M., so hopefully tomorrow the building custodian will put it in the apartment if the night person has not already done so. CIO
Note: <888> 09/10/07 Monday 2:40 P.M..: The tree men took down the pine tree in front that was dying. They are now working on some of the other areas around the house. They will be coming back in the near future to do some more work. CIO

The tree men have finished clearing the debris from the oak tree they cut down on the north side of the house, and they also trimmed some of the limbs from the other trees in the same area. They also cleared some of the brush down by the pond. They are also going to do some other work in the future around the trees hanging over the deck area. CIO
Note: <888> 09/10/07 Monday 11:30 A.M..: I read the New York Times. The tree men are still cutting up and removing the oak tree that they cut down. They are suppose to do some other tree work around the house after that. Of course, the oak tree was not originally planned, so I do not know if they will get the other work done today or not. CIO
Note: <888> 09/10/07 Monday 10:25 A.M..: I woke up from my nap yesterday afternoon at 5 P.M.. I showered, and I dressed up. We went to a relative's house for dinner. We mailed two letters on the way. We ate chicken casserole, with green beans with toasted almonds, and wild rice, and I ate my dinner with Poland Spring water. We returned home about 9 P.M.. We watched some television, and my relative read the Sunday New York Times. I went to bed at 10:30 P.M.. One of my relatives had given away the comforters for the bunk room downstairs, so I used the tiger print blanket from the other guest bedroom downstairs. I was awake at 8:30 A.M. this morning. I ate the same breakfast as yesterday. www.chainsawsteve.com showed up with two helpers. They are doing tree trimming work around the house. We decided to have them cut down the 40 foot tall 18 inch diameter at the base oak tree that was partially uprooted on the north side of the house, and it was partially rotten overhanging the north end of the house, so it is now cut down. I showered and I cleaned up. We need to get another rechargeable battery from www.radioshack.com in Biddeford, Maine for the Panasonic 2.4 GHz cordless telephone in the kitchen. My relative is staying home today to keep and eye on the tree work. CIO
Note: <888> 09/09/07 Sunday 1:30 P.M..: We ate the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce with sliced eggs. My relative seasoned it, so it tasted very good. We ate it with some potato chips. I made a mistake and when I cut the chicken into half inch chunks, somehow a 1.5 inch long small bone got in the chicken salad, and my relative caught it while eating it, and did not choke on it. I am usually very careful with chicken salad, but occasionally one does get bones in it if not careful. I normally use boneless breasts of chicken for chicken salad. CIO
Note: <888> 09/09/07 Sunday 12:40 P.M..: I chatted with my relative. I watered the hanging plants on the front porch that do not get the rain. There is plenty of rain still coming down. I tore off the rest of the meat off the cooked chicken, and I cut it into half inch chunks and put it in a bowl, and my relative is now making chicken salad out of it. I tested the new Black and Decker iron that I gave my relative, and it seems to work just fine. One has to follow the instructions. The higher settings are for steam and the lower settings are for non steam. One does not have to empty the water after using it. On fills it for steam to the maximum on the window. One stores it in an upright position after it cools. We will be eating the chicken salad for lunch shortly, and I guess we might have something else like potato chips with it, and I will drink a mixture of orange juice with cold filtered water. CIO

I called www.overstock.com , and they will track the free lost pearl necklace, and they will ship it to my Greenwich, Connecticut address instead. It rained quite a bit this past morning, so I probably will not have to water the plants today.

They have five Amtrak trains a day. They are called the Down easterner. I drove south to Route 9, and at that intersection I turned east. There is a self service car wash at that location, so I spent about $6 in quarters to wash the Audi. I then drove East about two miles to the road that one turns south on into Kennebunkport, Maine. I arrived at my relative's house at 1 P.M.. I unpacked the car. My relative gave me some New England clam chowder to eat which I ate with a can of cold lemon aid. I unpacked.

We ran into a relative at the beach. We just now returned. My relative never received the pearl necklace from www.overstock.com, so I will have to check with them. I had entered the wrong street address. CIO

I will drive up tomorrow morning to Kennebunkport, Maine, so I will now shut down the server, and I will pack, and then I will go to bed, and I will leave tomorrow morning.
