CIO <888> 11/28/14 Friday 10:20 A.M. I woke up at 9 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. I currently weigh 226 pounds. When I was last in Europe in January 1992, I only weighed 170 pounds. I think possibly since I eat oatmeal for breakfast every day, I have put a bit of weight on. I eat oatmeal, because it is good for one's cholesterol. When I used to eat bacon, eggs, and English muffins for breakfast I weighed less, but that meal is higher in cholesterol. To make my oatmeal in the morning, I put a half cup of Quaker Old fashioned oats in a microwave proof bowl with a cup of water. I put the bowl in the microwave oven with a microwave cover on it, and I microwave it 1 minute and 40 seconds. I add honey, milk, and a sliced banana to the oatmeal.

I chatted with a relative. I reheated and ate the Thanksgiving meal from http://www.templesholom.com/ . It consisted of three thick slices of white turkey meat, stuffing, steamed green beans and carrot bits, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, a dinner roll, and brownie. I put Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil in the vegetables and dinner roll. I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com . It was a most excellent and delicious meal. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 4:55 P.M. I am pretty much out of backup USB drive storage, unless I delete one of the backups, which I would rather not do. I do not have anymore room on my external hard drives to do an Aoemi backup of the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I backup all of my systems, so if there is a hardware malfunction or system corruption, I do not have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the systems. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 4:20 P.M. I finished configuring the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I am now doing a Windows 7 Complete PC backup of the entire system to the Seagate 2 TB USB external USB hard drive. It is pretty much the same as the other IBM ThinkCentres. The backup is about 41 GB in size. I moved the good Logitech headset from the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop to the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom so it now has a good headset. I put the weaker headset back on the second Dell D410 laptop. I have a new refurbished Logitech headset that I have never used, but I am saving it for when I need it. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 11:50 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 10:30 A.M. A neighbor rang my door bells. The neighbor wanted to know, if I wanted to go to Thanksgiving Dinner at the http://www.fpcg.org/ from noon to 2 P.M.. I explained to the neighbor that I am busy working my computers. Also today I have had digestion problems, which I would not feel comfortable being out in public. I will now shower and clean up. Half the town of Greenwich, Connecticut is under 16 years old. If they are not watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade on television, they are probably watching cartoons. I try to watch some of the American News media, but it always seem so irrelevant to the general public at large. They basically seem to broadcast what their commercial sponsors want to broadcast, and not want the general public might want to watch or listen to. In other words, the local media is not very entertaining anymore. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 9:40 A.M. I woke up at 8 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 1:05 A.M. On the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom, the Microphone sound is not very loud. It is possibly the inexpensive Logitech headset that I have on it. I am tired, and I have been awake 25 hours, so I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed. I will eat 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt first. I will finish configuring the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom at a later date. CIO <888> 11/27/14 Thursday 12:25 A.M. I have the Windows Updates installed on the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom. I had problems setting up the CMOS with the wireless keyboard, so I used a PS/2 keyboard for the one time procedure. I installed the C-Media Audio drivers for the Rosewill 5.1 audio card. The sound is just fine. I could not get the USB LAN device to work with Windows 7, so I will use the motherboard LAN connection. I can always get a more up to date USB LAN device, but the only reason I use them is not to worry about losing the motherboard LAN device. I looked at the inside of the case, and it appears a full length PCIe X1 video or graphics card would be lying on top of the CPU heat sink, which I do not think is advisable. For now I will stick with the motherboard 128 meg. Intel Graphic video which seems fast and clear enough. I am defragmenting the C: drive, before I configure it. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 6:50 P.M. I heated and ate a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee small ravioli which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of www.coke.com . CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 6:10 P.M. This is the USB Lan adapter that I am going to install on the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom with a driver download link at the bottom of the page http://www.meritline.com/usb-10-100-ethernet-lan-network-rj45-adapter---p-60969.aspx . The graphic card below might fit, I have to look and see if it the system can take a full length card versus a half link card the specs call for. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 5:10 P.M. I threw out the Microsoft 5000 wireless keyboard and mouse box. It is still raining outside at the moment, but it is suppose to change to snow and freeze tonight. I picked up the mail. I got my Greenwich Department of Social Services Voucher for $20 for the Stop and Shop, but I am not going out in this weather. The Stop and Shop is supposed to be opened until 5 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day. I put the IBM ThinkCentre shipping box which does not weigh very much on the top bedroom closet shelf. If it is a PCIe X1 slot, it is the lower of the two slots which does not have as much room above it with the PCI slot above it. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 4:35 P.M. This is all I can find on it http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd006096 . This video card might work with it http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/111513683591?lpid=82 but the fan might make it too thick to install, and it might be better with a heat sink, if it is PCIe x1 on the second slot . CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 3:50 P.M. I have to wait for it to install a 170 Windows Updates, before I start configuring it. It seems to be a half inch to an inch of snow or slush on the roof across the way. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 3:30 P.M. The IBM ThinkCentre works just fine. I installed it on the bedroom desk with the 19 inch Acer LCD monitor, the generic Logitech speakers, the generic Logitech web cam, and the RCA plugs headset. I also put a new Microsoft Wireless Comfort 5000 keyboard and mouse set on it. It has 2 GB of memory, a 80 GB SATA hard drive, Windows 7 Home Premium, a DVD/RW drive. It will not take either of my spare video cards, but it has 128 MB of onboard video memory. It has one PCI slot that I put in the new Rosewill PCI 7.1 audio card that I bought earlier this year for $11.99. It seems to have some other PCI Express slot, but I am not sure what type it is. It is the one with the three or four half inch slots. When I started it up, I changed some of the CMOS settings. I have it plugged into the onboard LAN, but I have a USB LAN device that I will install later. It installed Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. It has its Windows 7 Home Premium sticker on the right rear side with the product activation code. I wrote it down too, but I had a bit of problem telling the differences between "B" and "8", which took a while to figure out. The new install is 14 GB on three different partitions. I did a Complete PC backup of it to both the Vantec and the Bytecc external USB hard drives. I am now installing the Windows Updates which will take a while. It is IBM ThinkCentre "MT-M 9210-KUA". It is suppose to have a hidden system restore partition, that on booting up and pressing F6, one can access; but I am not sure if it exists or not. I set to the CMOS setting for it for "Secure", so if it exists, it can not be altered. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:25 P.M. The order with tracking of UPS Tracking on the order for IBM Computer 2GB Memory 40GB Hard Drive CD-ROM Windows 7 Home Premium for $39 and $5 shipping for $44 total arrived. I will now install the additional parts in it, and configure it. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:10 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 12:05 P.M. The family from Temple Sholom left a second Thanksgiving meal outside my door. I will be eating well for the next two days. I went downstairs, and I checked out the local environment. It is raining a pretty heavy outside, and it might turn to sleet in the areas further north of here. I can hear a lot of traffic on I-95 http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&q=415220 . Instead of napping, I will try to stay up through this afternoon, and possibly get a on a daytime schedule tomorrow. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 11:25 A.M. A family from http://www.templesholom.com/ in Greenwich just delivered a Thanksgiving meal to me. I thanked them. I put the 8 ounce rib eye steak back in the freezer. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 11:20 A.M. http://www.techbargains.com/dell-financial-services-black-friday-deal I noticed this morning at CVS on West Putnam Avenue that a 16 roll package of Charmin double roll toilet paper is now $17.99, when it is not on sale. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 9:30 A.M. I reheated and ate the same flavored rice and flavored Dinty Moore meal, which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I wander what the that six foot wide and six foot tall white man out on Long Island is eating for his Thanksgiving Meal. Maybe he should play Santa Claus in the www.macys.com Thanksgiving Day parade, but he might scare the children. I once read that the Macy family like a lot of well known families were from www.nantucket.net . Of course the descendants of the Mayflower Pilgrims are suppose to number 20 million people. Bill Cary when he was alive besides being Fred Von Mierers' lawyer, also used to run the Mayflower Society in Manhattan https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ . I visited Plymouth Rock a couple of times, when I was a Polaroid photographer, and Polaroid paid me 9 cents a mile travel money. I think the last time I visited Plymouth Rock was in the spring of 1977 while hitch hiking, when I was drifting around the Boston area waiting to settle into Nantucket for the summer. The time before that was in the summer of 1971 with my elder sister and her boy friend. That evening we had dinner at Trader Vics http://tradervics.com/ at the Sheraton Hotel in Boston, and after a few Samoan Fog Cutters, I almost got into trouble with the Secret Service for bad mouthing George Wallace who was making a campaign appearance there at the time. Alabama republicans at the time were well known for speaking out against the democrat establishment. Richard Nixon used to also like eating at Trader Vics. While at www.lfc.edu I went to Trader Vics in Chicago a few times, and the last time, I was there in the summer of 1972, I crashed a www.dupont.com paint pigments suppliers party. I had a friend in Lake Forest whose mother was a member of that French American family. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 8:40 A.M. I have not gotten my Thanksgiving Voucher from the Greenwich Department of Social Services yet. However, I do not need to use it, when it arrives today. I took a 10 ounce rib eye steak out of the freezer that I bought last year with my voucher at either Christmas Time or Thanksgiving, and I am letting it defrost in the refrigerator. I have stove top stuffing, chicken rice-a-roni, sweet potato, and baby carrots to go with it. Alas I have no pumpkin pie, but since I weigh about 226 pounds, I guess I can forego desert tomorrow morning, when I might be cooking it, if I get up again at midnight. The Cola Wars were out in full force today. When I went out, the www.pepsi.com truck was at CVS on West Putnam Avenue, and the www.coke.com truck was at the Oyster Restaurant on Elm Street just west of Greenwich Avenue. Also the usual sanitation trucks were out and about a dozen people around www.starbucks.com . CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 8:20 A.M. I was able to reset the www.weatherdirect.com device for free. CIO <888> 11/26/14 Wednesday 7:40 A.M. Earlier I picked up the mail. I went by the www.chase.com Bank ATM at 9 West Putnam Avenue. I then sat outside downtown observing the early morning activity. It was very slow, so I guess everyone has gone away. I then went back by the Chase Bank ATM at 9 West Putnam Avenue. I then went by CVS at 644 West Putnam Avenue. I bought a 16 ounce bag of Blue Diamond wabasi and soy almonds for $5.49. I then bought buy one get one free of CVS MSM 1000 mg Joint Health 60 capsules for $8.49 both and .54 tax for $9.03 total. I then returned home on a rainy cool morning. CIO Download 1.31 Mb. Share with your friends:
