I called three out of town and a local security agency about an old and recent matter. Apparently, there is no connection. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 11/20/14 Thursday 3:35 A.M. Town, residents earn victory in fight over Rockefeller land CIO <888> 11/20/14 Thursday 3:25 A.M. After the last note, I picked up the mail. I ate six ounces of mixed nuts. I went to bed about 5 P.M.. I woke up at 2 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk, 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. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 3:35 P.M. I went downstairs, and I chatted with neighbors. I sat outside briefly surveying the environment. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 3:10 P.M. I heated and ate a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 2:20 P.M. I chatted briefly with a friend. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 2:05 P.M. BBC Deadly snowstorm hits northern US CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 12:30 P.M. The building custodian stopped by with a Spanish speaking computer engineer from Uruguay and Spain, and they wanted to know if I had a power adapter for an HP laptop, they brought with them. I only have a universal power adapter with the different plugs for an automobile power adapter, and not an AC power adapter. I showed them my computer setup, and I explained a lot of my computers are pretty old, but they do work, and they cost me quite a bit to upgrade on my limited budget. I also showed the building custodian the repaired closet. The building custodian translated for the Spanish speaking computer engineer. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 11:35 A.M. I chatted with a relative. When I have the time some morning, I could drive over to http://www.interstatelumber.com/ in Byram on the Byram River, and get a 2" X 4" X 60.75" inch piece of wood that I could use to support the front center of my bedroom closet shelf to take some of the stress off the wire shelf. I could attach it to the floor with Stanley angle irons and a small flat piece of wood at the top. I would lose about 3.5 inches of closet hanging space. I could also get two 1" X 4" X 24" strips of wood to use to hold the speakers in place instead of the strip and the wedge that I am using at the moment. But when I have the time. The wire hanging shelf is secure enough for now. It has been a long time, possibly even a year, since I crossed the border into New York State, and frequently people see me so rarely over there in that neck of the woods that has gotten very expensive anymore, they treat me like a foreign visitor in their new metropolis. I used to shop over there all of the time. Thus if I got to Interstate Lumber, I would be on this side of the Byram River. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 9:55 A.M. I posted pictures of the recent changes in the apartment at: http://scott-mike.com/mls-apt-111914/ http://mikelouisscott.com/mls-apt-111914/ http://mikelouisscottcom.cv.siteprotect.net/mls-apt-111914/ CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 9:00 A.M.

I ordered $7.99 with free shipping Rosewill RPS-200 6 Outlets Power Strip 125V Input Voltage 1875W Maximum Power 6 Feet Cord Length. I put the SanDisk 16GB Standard SD (SDHC) Card Class 4 Flash Memory Card | Staples® for $7.99 that I bought on Black Friday 2012 with the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I moved the 4 GB SD card to the Pogo device that I never use. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 7:05 A.M. Three feet of snow in Buffalo, New York 4 deaths blamed on major New York snowstorm CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 7:00 A.M. I heated and ate a 19 ounce can of Progresso chicken and wild rice soup which I seasoned with celery salt, ground black pepper, and oregano, which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 6:00 A.M. It is 22.1 degrees Fahrenheit outside my living room window at the moment. I am out of bananas, but I am not going to make a special trip this morning just to return cans and get bananas. Yes, we have no bananas, we have not bananas today. I was told by a neighbor that bananas are 29 cents a pound at the Stop and Shop this week. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 5:45 A.M. When I used to know people involved with the Episcopal Church in Manhattan, I was once told that http://gracechurchnyc.org/ that Grace Church is one of the wealthiest Episcopal Churches in Manhattan. They were given a lot of money in Manhattan's Hay Day, when the wealthy people lived around Astor Place in Greenwich Village in Manhattan. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 5:20 A.M. I chatted with a neighbor while folding my clean laundry. I put the clean laundry away. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 3:15 A.M. I have 50 minutes to go on two dry cycles of laundry. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 2:50 A.M. I put clean linens on the bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I am just about done doing an Aoemi backup of both partitions of the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop to the Rosewell 1 TB external hard drive. I am just about done with two loads of wash. I picked up the mail. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I watered the plants. CIO <888> 11/19/14 Wednesday 1:10 A.M. I woke up at midnight. 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 am making a Complete PC backup of both partitions of Dell Latitude E6400 laptop to the Rosewell 1 TB external hard drive. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 2:25 P.M. Major turmoil down in Florida http://www.floridanotallaboard.com/ . I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat my last blueberry muffin. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 1:30 P.M. Polar Vortex http://blog.ctnews.com/weather/2014/11/18/arctic-air-blasting-into-our-region/ . CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 1:25 P.M. It took a while to sort through some of my spare computer parts. I finally found Buy.com - Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Notebook Card that I bought for $6.99 with free shipping April 27, 2011. I used its CD, and I installed it on both partitions on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I disabled the other two wireless devices installed on it, so the Belkin is the default wireless device. It works just fine at 25 GPS download and upload. I put copies of the Dell Latitude E6400 service and install manuals on both partitions. I also put in a 4 GB SD card. The order with tracking number of "1ZX799470323027127" at www.ups.com on the order for "Refurbished: Logitech M185 910-003922 Gray 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Optical Mouse " for $5.49 with free shipping arrived. Its USB device is stored inside of the battery compartment. While sifting through my spare parts, I also discovered I have another spare newe Microsoft laptop wireless mouse. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 9:20 A.M. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/latitude-e6400/manuals . CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 8:15 A.M. Of course up in www.nantucket.net , where they have bigger fish, I used to use a 14 foot fiberglass rod that split in two along with a Penn http://www.pennfishing.com/ reel and 50 pound test line and http://www.hopkinslures.com/ to catch the 78 blue fish and 2 stripped bass, I once caught in October 1978 at the Lyon Farm Road beach by the old www.navy.mil nuclear preparedness Quonset hut in two hours. I filleted the fish on the beach to chum the water, and I got 15 cents a pound for the blue fish filets and 35 cents a pound for the striped bass filets. I had just bought my $150 1971 yellow www.subaru.com that I put in a new clutch myself, and I later that month left Nantucket with a friend to head out to California, and elsewhere, but I never caught anything with the fishing gear elsewhere in California or Florida. I left the fishing gear at the www.shell.com gasoline station on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Barbara, California in exchange for $10 in gasoline the night Ronald Reagan got elected President, so I could drive down to the victory party with a bunch of old California types in Laguna Beach, California. At the time on that last trip, I was driving a two door 1971 Burgundy Volvo sedan made in Belgium that I had bought in August 1980 at John Delia Subaru here in Greenwich for $1,750, where I gave them my old yellow Subaru. After the victory party, I sold the burgundy Volvo sedan for $1,250 a cash for your car place next to the entrance of Disney Land that I never visited to afford to fly back with my friend to the very cold winters of Manhattan. I did make a brief trip to Frankfurt, Germany that December 1980 to see what was happening. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 7:40 A.M. While at www.lfc.edu , I was one invited to go pheasant hunting in nearby Wisconsin by a roommate from Lake Forest, Illinois. It seemed sort of strange that the roommate seemed to be more interested in possibly shooting me than a pheasant, so after that I was a little bit leery of hunting with people that I did not know well. Down South in Decatur, Alabama, my father's group of friends mostly hunted Canadian Geese and Doves. They did used to have turkey shoots at Thanksgiving. While at Lookout Mountain Camp age 7 and 8 years old, I was pretty good at shooting a 22 caliper rifle, and I still have the National Rifle Association badges to prove it. Of course after looking at computer monitors for 24 years and reading most of my life, my eye sight might not be as good as when I was 7 or 8 years old. I have a relative who used to know the owner of Zepco http://www.zebco.com/ Sporting Company, and that individual use to hunt with the King of Spain. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 7:10 A.M. I chatted with a friend. He is still in a deer stand hunting. I guess if he does not get his deer, he will be a bit hungry this winter. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 6:30 A.M. I ate a ham and American cheese sandwich on toasted 15 grain bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and a Wise low sodium potato chips and one sliced tomatoes with celery salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoes, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 5:25 A.M. Electric rates to rise for CL&P, United Illuminating CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 5:20 A.M. Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise | TechNet Evaluation Center Prince William, Catherine to visit New York next month William teams up with Angry Birds in a bid to save the scaly anteater which is in danger of being 'eaten to death' in its native China CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 4:35 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.cvs.com at 644 West Putnam Avenue. I bought a 12 pack of A&W root beer 12 ounce cans for $3.67, a 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of www.coke.com for $3.50, a 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale for $3.67 and $1.80 can deposit and two 17.5 ounce cans of low salt premium mixed nuts for$6.99 each can for $26.62 total. I then went by the red Christian charity drop box at the Stop and Shop, and I dropped off a bag of old clothes and other items. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue and all the way down Steamboat Road to the pier on the waterfront. It seems perfectly normal down there. The new housing project across the street from 600 Steamboat Road seems to be progressing along. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $8.01 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $3.979 a gallon for 2.012 gallons at odometer reading of 109855 miles for 23.4 miles driving since Thursday November 6, 2014 for 11.631 miles per gallon in mostly local night traffic. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart from the rear of the Volvo wagon to bring up the soda and put it away. I then put the little folding cart back in the rear of the Volvo wagon. I picked up the mail. The www.time.com magazine arrived. CIO <888> 11/18/14 Tuesday 1:30 A.M. I woke up at midnight. 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 will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 12:05 P.M. I ate a bowl of Wise low sodium potato chips. I chatted with a relative. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. I heard a lot of traffic today, so it is probably busy out there with the daytime people. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 11:00 A.M. I chatted with a relative. It is up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit in Vero Beach, Florida today http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=27.638636155000484&lon=-80.39726867099967&site=all&smap=1#.VGoYBWdNeXk . I guess people in Florida are still having to rough it out in the hot weather. Up North here in the Tundra of Connecticut, we are still getting ready for another long cold winter ahead. Down south, the Tropical Storm Season does not end until the end of November. Having spent a five winters down south, I know it can be more comfortable down there, but it is also hard for English speaking Yankees whom are well educated to make a living down south of the Mason Dixon line. I do better up north, where I am around a lot of the same people whom have the same educational background that I happen to have. Unfortunately that education does not always transfer to other parts of the country or the World in general, as I have found out, when I have traveled. There is some dispute in the family whether my branch is related to the Winfield Scott branch of the family. From my research, it could be possible. When Winfield Scott's father arrived in this country in New Jersey around 1724 from Scotland, he was looking for a relative that he never found. It so happens that my Scott relative also arrived from Scotland at the same time, and unlike Winfield Scott's father whom married into the wealthy Winfield family of Virginia, my relative first settled in Western Pennsylvania, with a son who fought in the American Revolution and got 200 acres for it in North Carolina, and his descendants became the wealthy William Scott family of Kentucky that my relatives in central Illinois are descended from. Thus over time in America like elsewhere, people and families move around. I do know that my relatives in North Carolina might be related to the actor Randolph Scott who was also from the same part of North Carolina. However, since my father was an only child, my branch of the Scott family is not very large so to speak. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 10:05 A.M. I called up the Greenwich Housing Authority at 1-203-869-1138, and I cancelled the work order. I chatted with neighbors, while I sat outside for a while. I told the building custodian that I had cancelled the work order. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 8:45 A.M. We missed his birthday http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Prince_of_Wales this past Friday. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=charles%2c+prince+of+wales+images&qpvt=Charles%2c+Prince+of+Wales+Images&FORM=IGRE https://www.facebook.com/TheBritishMonarchy . CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 8:25 A.M. It does not get busy in downtown Greenwich, Connecticut until about 9:15 A.M. on weekdays, when people rush into town for the opening of the New York Financial Markets at 9:30 A.M.. Before that downtown Greenwich is mostly garbage collectors and commuters. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 8:00 A.M. Tracking is https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/WTRK/index.html?tracknumbers=61299998790721746511&cntry_code=us&fdx=1490 on the order for Memorex USB 2.0 External Multi Format Slim DVD Recorder Model 98251 for $16.99 with coupon code "EMCWWWF44" with free shipping.

CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 7:00 A.M. I ate two 3 ounce Perdue chicken Italian cutlets, steamed baby carrots and a baked sweet potato with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and one sliced tomatoe with celery salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italians seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoe, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. The new www.chase.com bank on the west side of the Greenwich Library is not scheduled now to open until Monday, November 24, 2014 or later. I was told they are having some problems with the local building ordinances or some other minor matter like that. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 5:45 A.M. He once lived uptown The Lost 1847 Winfield Scott Mansion -- 93rd and Park Avenue CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 5:35 A.M. The 1852 Winfield Scott House - No. 24 West 12th Street CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 4:50 A.M. If one does not like the privacy of Greenwich, Connecticut; one can always see what is happening in Greenwich Village http://www.villagevoice.com/ nearby in lower Manhattan. New York City has their "Old Guard" too, whom know a thing or two about the Big City. Alas, it probably got expensive there too. Even the www.forbes.com family had to sell their building to http://www.nyu.edu/ . I suppose once one leaves nearby Manhattan, and one is left roughing it in the wilderness of Connecticut; one learns to keep busy as best one can based on one's experience and income. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 4:50 A.M. Email - Our New Holiday Catalog has Arrived and View the live-webcast of Mike Huckabee. - Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 4:35 A.M. I finished opening the apps on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. It automatically installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview Updates, and this time the audio does work. I shut it down. CIO <888> 11/17/14 Monday 2:20 A.M. I threw out the garbage on a rainy morning. I sat outside briefly. Traditionally the Scottish have a long history of "The Night Watch". I guess since the British were always invading at all odd hours in the morning. Also the Dutch have a long history of "The Night Watch" , since the Germans also were also invading at all hours of the early mornings. Since I am of Scottish, English, and Dutch descent; it seems over all of these decades, I have become accustomed to being awake at night and in the early morning hours. In nearby Manhattan, there are always a few people awake at night, but out here in the suburbs; there are not as many people awake in the wee hours of the mornings, since to afford to live here, one has to work mostly in the daytime. Also with the higher prices of fuel, one can not cruise around to see if there is any activity here or in neighboring communities. I will now open the apps on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. There are more like it at Ebay starting at about $130 with the same basic configuration that I have. Of course some people prefer to pay a hundred dollar more for a new laptop with more resources.
