<888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 8:40 P.M. I sorted out the magazine rack on the left side of the Ethan Allen recliner, and I threw out the old magazines and periodical literature in the recycle dumpster outside. It seems to be a bit colder outside and back to normal winter weather. CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 8:10 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 7:40 P.M.

I chatted with a friend who is going to Newport, Rhode Island for New Years Eve. It is a bit out of season up there, but I suppose there are some old Yankee types in that neck of the woods. Many members of the Vanderbilt family have lived in various places in Rhode Island over the years. Also www.cvs.com is headquartered in Rhode Island as is the Citizens Bank owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland. CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 6:00 P.M. I woke up at 5:30 P.M.. I picked up the mail.

I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 10:45 A.M. I chatted with two relatives and two friends. I ate two ounces of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese. I uninstalled Internet Explorer 11, and I installed Internet Explorer 10, but it was still buggy, so I uninstalled Internet Explorer 10, and left the Windows 7 system with the default Internet Explorer 8 which works fine with old web sites. CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 8:20 A.M. On the primary work computer Windows 7 partition, I went ahead and installed Internet Explorer 11 and its Updates. It does work, but on www.ebay.com data entry on the search form still does not work with it, so I will have to use FireFox for Ebay. Still Internet Explorer 11 supports the more advanced web sites like www.cvs.com . CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 6:35 A.M.

When I get the second Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop, I will get its Windows 7 Product Key. I will then make a Windows Complete PC backup of its Windows 7 installation to a USB external hard drive to have available for future restoring. I will then restore the dual boot two Windows 10 Technical Preview installation from the first Lenovo ThinkCentre to configure another beta computer quickly. Since it is 64 bit, I will not be able to use the TrendNet USB Print Server with it, but that is not a big deal, since I don't print out from beta computer usually. I may have to switch some wireless keyboards and mice around with it, since the Microsoft Wireless 3000 Keyboard and Mouse desktops had a problem on the last IBM ThinkCentre. It is all trail and error with systems configurations. CIO !!!!!! <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 5:45 A.M. If one has a Windows Computer that came without the DVD installation disk, one can find the Windows Product Key on the computer by using the free https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ program. One has to uninstall the additional software it also installs. Once one has the product key, one can go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/ and http://www.howtogeek.com/186775/how-to-download-windows-7-8-and-8.1-installation-media-legally/ to download the installation media and burn it to DVD in case one needs to reinstall the operating system. CIO <888> 12/30/14 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. I woke up at 2 A.M.. The Aeomi backup of the primary work computer was complete. I then did a Windows Complete PC backup of both partitions of the primary work computer to the Rosewill 1 TB USB external hard drive. 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> 12/29/14 Monday 7:00 P.M. I uninstalled and reinstalled Internet Explorer 8 on the Windows 7 partition on the primary work computer. I then did a partial system refresh. One has to have the version of Windows 7 installed with the separate SP1 upgrade and not Windows 7 SP1. One first has to uninstall SP1 via this method http://windows.microsoft.com/uninstallwindows7sp1 with the Command Prompt method since the SP1 upgrade did not show up in the Updates to be removed. It took about two hours to remove. I then downloaded SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842 and burned it to DVD. I then installed it which took about another two hours. I then installed about 130 recent Windows Updates which took another four hours. I then did a Windows Complete PC backup of both partitions from the first drive to the second backup hard drive. Thus I have the Windows 7 System refreshed and running a bit more smoothly on my older primary work computer. While doing that I chatted with a relative. I chatted with a neighbor. The neighbor with the new Nokia Lumina 520 cell phone stopped by, and I installed it in his new case from England. I also leant him my instructions, so he could copy them, since he had lost his instructions. I ate four ounces of mixed nuts with cold filtered water. I took a two hour nap. I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. The order with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400109699937181866781 on the order for $9.99 with free shipping TRENDnet TU2-ET100 10/100 USB Ethernet Adapter * For Macbook Air and Windows PC arrived. I chatted with a relative. The neighbor returned the instructions and gave me a pair of red touch screen gloves that he had gotten at Radio Shack. I will now do a Aomei backup of both partitions on the first hard drive of the primary work computer to the Rosewill 1 TB external hard drive. I will go to bed and let that run. I will eat a blueberry muffin before going to bed. CIO <888> 12/29/14 Monday 7:00 A.M. I witnessed and unusual racial bias incident yesterday afternoon while downtown Greenwich Avenue was full of families shopping and the police were busy responding to this incident Suspicious package in Greenwich forces evacuation, delays . Two young male youths on bicycles about 14 years old with one white and one black were chasing an elderly Mexican gentleman about age 60 with a medium tan down the street calling him a "Gringo". He was yelling back at them that he was "Mexican". They kept pursuing him yelling at him, and he kept shouting back that he was "Mexican" and not a "Gringo". One could here the shouting and commotion all of the way up and down Greenwich Avenue. None of the shopper bothered to get involved, but plenty of people witnessed the incident. As the Mexican was running down Greenwich Avenue, he stopped and made the sign of the cross in front of the Greenwich Avenue veterans monument. CIO <888> 12/29/14 Monday 4:25 A.M. I woke up at 2:30 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 will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 12/28/14 Sunday 6:55 P.M. I keep my Christmas Decorations up until after Russian Christmas which is on January 7, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_in_Russia in case any Russian Christians are around. Since my branch of the Scott family is also part Russian, more than likely over fifty thousand years give or take, I have Russian relatives who never made it this far south and west. $238.64 with free shipping Acer Aspire P3-131-4833 11.6-Inch Detachable 2 in 1 Touchscreen Laptop (Silver) $26.16 Norton Utilities (For 3 PCs) http://www.walmart.com/ip/Prepsolutions-Microwave-Rice-Cooker-Set/20551382 http://www.hayneedle.com/product/joycechenricesteamer3qt1.cfm?redirect=false&source=pla&kwid=SpecialtyCookware%20low&tid=JCP021-1&adtype=pla&kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=JCP021-1&ds_e_ad_type=pla&gclid=Cj0KEQiA8f6kBRCGhMPFtev8p58BEiQAaMLmqU446AlQnTRB-RNf9sdLG3ltqwSoBv7-TAMlCwBTjlMaAjTa8P8HAQ http://www.kitchenandcompany.com/cookware/microwave-cookware/_/Joyce-Chen-Microwave-Rice-Steamer/ I will now shut down the primary work computer.

I threw out the garbage including eight old eggs. I went downtown, and I sat out in the center of town for a while. I chatted with someone from Japan about Volcanoes based on my limited knowledge. I told the individual that the tablet computer devices are hard to use in the sun. I then walked over to Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. It was not too busy out. I then went to the Stop and Shop. I bought four day old blueberry muffins for $2, a dozen extra large Eggland eggs for $4.19 expire February 6, 2014, a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.19, four 19 ounce cans of Campbell's New England clam chowder for $1.25 each, a 8 ounce Stop and Shop parmesan and Romano cheese for $3.99, a 10.8 ounce Folger's Columbian coffee for $3, bananas for .49 a pound for .97, two one pound bags of baby carrots for $1 each, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.71 for $26.05 total. I used my Greenwich Department of Social Services Christmas $25 Food Voucher to pay for most of it. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $6.96 of self service midgrade Plus gasoline for $3.179 a gallon with a dime a gallon off with my Stop and Shop card for 2.188 gallons at odometer reading of 109955 miles for 33.2 miles driving since Sunday December 14, 2014 for 15.174 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I then returned home, and I put away my groceries, and I chatted with a neighbor. The neighbor that got the Nokia Lumina 520 case from England needs help installing the phone in the case, which I will do at a later time. CIO <888> 12/28/14 Sunday 10:05 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of reheated Perdue grilled Italian chicken strips, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice.

CIO <888> 12/27/14 Saturday 3:50 P.M. I was told by a friend that went to the Stowe, Vermont area for three days over Christmas that it rained the entire time he was there, and all of the two feet of snow melted by the time he left to come back into this area. Thus there is no snow in Vermont. However with the warmer weather so far this winter, the energy bills will be cheaper. CIO <888> 12/27/14 Saturday 2:35 P.M.

Sales Tax for $21.26 total. I figure as I get older, I might want to make some liquid food. CIO <888> 12/27/14 Saturday 9:00 A.M. I ate 12 triscuit brown rice crackers with sea salt and black pepper with about 1/2 inch by 1.75 inch by 1/8th inch slices of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese on them. All of this constant internet activity is exhausting. I will now take a nap. I am more comfortable inside than facing a cool morning walk. Of course it will be warmer today for late risers. CIO <888> 12/27/14 Saturday 8:05 A.M. I ate a one fifth piece of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip topping and two clemetines from Moroc. I was told by an employee at the A&P Fresh that the individual had recently visited http://www.lanzarote.com/ but being closed to West Africa, one might get exposed to the Ebola virus there. I do know it is not too warm there in the winter, but with little vegetation there, it is good for people with allergies. Also since it out in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, they also have very fresh air there. Also since it tends to be a desert climate with very little fresh water, at night when the skies are usually clear, one can see the millions of stars in the Heavens that one does not usually see in this part of the world. Alas I was only there for a few weeks in February 1972 a year after Raquel Welch made the movie there "A Million Years B.C.". It is mostly a lot black lava sand in its volcanic terrain. Back in February 1972, it cost about $8 a day to rent a Moped, but they are not very good on the black sandy roads, and they can break down. I once tried to camp out on the beach beneath a cliff on the Western Side of the Island where part of the old movie set still was, and the skies got black, where one could not see anything at night, and it was my perspective that some giant sea monster might have come out of the deep Atlantic Ocean. The locals grow onions in the black volcanic sand of the volcanic craters. At some points the crust is only eight inches thick above the lava. They do not have much free water there, so one only flushes after number 2. I paid $40 for a one hour flight on www.iberia.com from Malaga in southern Spain to get there. If one does not mind a week's voyage, it was about $100 for a deck passage on a ocean ferry, which might be uncomfortable. There were British Tourists there from the Isle of Wright and quite a few German tourists. They fry their fresh fish in olive oil. The Germans drink German beer there. Since fresh water is not too common, one does not get to take fresh water showers every day, but one can rinse off in the salty ocean. Playa Blanca on the southern side of the island was remote with a few Danish surfer hippies camping out on the beach. There was an old www.coke.com cooler with cold local beer there. A Norwegian resident Rhone Dietrin invited me to stay with his mother and her friend at their small bungalow at the end of the runway. His father was a pilot with https://www.flysas.com/ . Alas he probably never left the remote island, so he is probably still guiding the many tourists around the island. They have more modern resorts there too on the eastern coast. I did not see all of the island. There used to be a hippie commune on the north eastern side of the island. I guess it has gotten so modern there, people have forgotten the simpler days of travel. I can imagine during the various World Wars, there were probably various coastal observers observing the various nautical traffic in the area. They might still have wild dogs on the island, because Canary from the Latin Word for Dog which is Canis, and when they were first discovered the Canary Islands had a lot of wild dogs. Also during the last European Ice Age fifty thousand years ago, there were blond hair blue eye people living in the Canary Islands, so some people managed to go south. Ernest Hemingway, when we supposedly was writing in Marbella, Spain would frequently be in Lanzarote , because it has some of the best marlin fishing in the world. Also www.nasa.gov used to have a ground monitoring station there in case the Space Shuttle had to abort in flight and land in Morocco. I have a theory there might be secret underwater volcanic caves where Jules Verne type submarines can hide out from prying eyes, but it is just a theory. Of course for older people, there are probably limited medical facilities there. I think it is a Spanish culture, so they do things the Spanish way. CIO <888> 12/27/14 Saturday 6:50 A.M. The way I figured it, a lot of people will still be away until the Monday after New Years returning for work on January 5, 2015, so they could be anywhere on their holiday breaks. I noticed downtown yesterday, a young fellow showing off his Christmas www.timberland.com boots http://www.best-price.com/search/landing/query/timberland+outlet+boots/s/google/koid/8980497973/?query=timberland+outlet+boots&gclid=Cj0KEQiAzvmkBRCm3ZbV-4-hwrYBEiQAgLOw6_4WqdRP-lDf1KLoOTUIFWJSZ2rjzeycYTe0t6wSWmAaApN38P8HAQ . They are very practical around here, whenever we get snow and slush. When one gets a new pair of leather boots, a friend used to treat the leather with http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=Mink%20Oil&adid=22222222224209898113&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=3530204213&wl1=e&wl2=mink%20oil&wl3=15087328592&veh=sem , but I am cheap, so I generally just use Saddle Soap http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ASaddle%20soap . It is suppose go up to 55 degrees Fahrenheit today and be sunny. However, this time of year the sun does not come up until 7:18 A.M. http://www.tides.info/?command=view&location=Cos+Cob+Harbor%2c+off+Goose+Island%2c+Connecticut+Current . I suppose the usual group of www.starbucks.com deja vue people will be moving around. I have a 25% off regular price coupon at www.cvs.com , but there is nothing that I really need. Still it is nice to get out for a walk on a slow holiday weekend, when it is not too busy in our small metropolis. We might see some holiday visitors visiting their relatives here.
