<888> 12/21/14 Sunday 9:00 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go downtown briefly to do an errand. CIO <888> 12/21/14 Sunday 8:20 P.M. I woke up at 7 P.M., when I chatted with a relative. 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. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 12/21/14 <888> 12/21/14 Sunday 8:35 A.M. I ate a blueberry muffin, 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt, and a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% Canada Dry Ginger Ale. I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 12/21/14 Sunday 6:35 A.M. Local gasoline prices, if one is traveling in this area http://util.automobilemag.com/31/connecticut/fairfield/greenwich/gas_prices.html . A day trip to New Canaan can be very fun in this area, but it is just as expensive there as it is here, so don't expect any bargains. The http://www.rogershermaninn.com/ in New Canaan has a bit of Old Yankee charm, and it is near to the local churches, if one feels like going to church. They call the Village Green in New Canaan, "God's Little Acre", but alas having lived there before, one can get a bit of Cabin Fever there during the Long Winter's Night particularly, when it snows. CIO <888> 12/21/14 Sunday 6:25 A.M. I ate two clementines. The USB speakers on the Dell Latitude 4600i tower computer in the bedroom were plugged into the wrong speaker jack on the Creative Labs 5.1 sound card. I plugged them into the next lower speaker jack, and they now work just fine. It also have a USB headset on it that works just fine. I used four strips of Scotch tape to secure the little two foot artificial Christmas tree to its teak base, so when one walks by it at the kitchen entrance, and one is wearing a heavy cost, one will not knock it over hopefully. I do not hear from many people anymore, so I guess they are all busy with their holiday activities, where ever they might be. My two friends who live in the upper east side of Manhattan have departed for their home down south, before they cruise the south Pacific after the New Years. Elderly people tend to enjoy cruise ships in their free time. Alas, the only ship I have been on besides the www.nantucket.net and Martha's Vineyard ferries is a medium size ocean ferry from Piraeus in Greece to Crete back in the spring of 1972. It was a rough voyage, so I have never ventured on the high seas again. They used to have cruise ships on the Great Lakes which were like ocean steamers, but nobody is interested in that part of the world anymore. With the warmer weather, I would imagine the St. Lawrence Seaway is probably still open and ice free. I guess after living like a hermit working in restaurants in Nantucket for those few years, I lost track of my pier group in Greenwich while working around young high school kids, but that was 31 years ago, so more than likely they are all middle age adults by now. I have been around a lot of younger people while walking downtown at night all of these years, but younger people do not network with older people, so I am not sure what they do or where they are from. I suppose some of their parents are from my pier group of individuals in town whom tend to be more private, if they are still in town and not retired elsewhere in warmer climates. CIO <888> 12/21/14 Sunday 4:45 A.M. 16 double roll packs of Charmin Toilet paper are now on sale at www.cvs.com for $9.99 or $8 off. Hurry while supplies last.

I reheated and ate one of the colorful bow tie pasta alfredo meals with two Clementines and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

I ordered Premier 100mm Light Cigarette Tubes - 10 Boxes for $37.80 with free shipping. CIO <888> 12/20/14 Saturday 10:15 P.M.

It says her that Greenwich, Connecticut is the fourth safest town in America http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/top100safest/ , if you hang out at www.starbucks.com next to the Greenwich Police Station. I wander if they take Mountain Lions and Coyotes into the survey. CIO <888> 12/20/14 Saturday 9:30 P.M.

CIO <888> 12/20/14 Saturday 12:55 A.M. Department of Geology & Geophysics | International Volcanology Field School University of Alaska, Fairbanks. CIO <888> 12/20/14 Saturday 12:40 A.M. I reheated and ate one of the colorful bow tie pasta alfredo meals with two Clementines and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 11:40 P.M. I chatted with two relatives. I updated or refreshed the CMOS bios on the other five www.ibm.com ThinkCentre computers. I put links in http://scott-mike.com/computer.htm as to which of my six ThinkCentres use which BIOS. IBM and Lenovo have made so many different models over the years, one has to be careful to find the right bios, or risk turning your computer into a BRICK. Under Flashing Bios in this manual http://support.lenovo.com/en/docs/um000380 on page 516, it tells how to repair a ThinkCentre Bios that has been flashed with the wrong bios or other bios problem, so if you make a mistake, you are not stuck with a brick. CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 11:30 P.M. The TrendNet USB Ethernet Adapter driver installed on the Lenovo ThinkCentre with Windows 10 Technical Preview, but one has to reboot to get it to work. I now have both the motherboard LAN and Motherboard Audio and Motherboard Video Disabled. It seems to be working fine. I updated its bios to Lenovo Model: 6258BY8, Serial Number: MJGMH97, Bios 5CKT77AUS, Bios Date: 05/07/12. I had to download the bios update for the CD Bios Update and make a CD from it and then boot it, and it took several minutes to update the Bios. The WinFlash Bios Update would not work with Windows 10 Technical Preview. CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 5:40 P.M. I picked up the mail. I delivered a Fedex Express mail envelope to a neighbor next door.

I will now install it on the Lenovo ThinkCentre Desktop. CiO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 4:55 P.M. After I got home, I had a telephone call from an associate. I happened to notice while I was sitting downtown at the top of Greenwich Avenue in one of my usual observation places, that there was a big truck that services this area called https://www.freshdirect.com/ that delivers food into this area, if one does not want to face the hoards of food shoppers in the grocery store at this time of year. However, if you feel the need for some Christmas cheer from Vermont, you can always buy some http://www.vermontpuremaple.com/buy_maple_syrup.htm . The Vermont Country Store General Store | Classic Products | Hard to Find Products Harrington's of Vermont Shelburne Farms, Vermont Garelick Farms Cabot Cheese - Award Winning Vermont cheddar. and if Vermont is not your fancy, there is always Carr Valley Cheese Co. - Wisconsin Cheddar, American Originals, Artisanal and Award Winning Cheeses Smoked Turkeys - Great for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 4:20 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went by the A&P Fresh, and I bought a five pound box of Moroc clementines for $4.99 and a four pack of light and fluffy blueberry muffins for $3.50 for $8.49 total. I then went by the new www.chase.com bank just west of the Greenwich Library. An easier way to get to it coming from West Putnam Avenue is turn right at the A&P Fresh and then turn left on Field Point Road and left back on to West Putnam Avenue and right into the new Chase Bank and then exit on Deerfield Drive. They have an ATM machine in the drive up and a ATM at low level at the front entrance that is slightly covered from the elements. Of course on a rainy night, one could always use the Chase ATM machine at the top of Greenwich Avenue which is enclosed. I then went downtown to Greenwich Avenue. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. The foundation is still being constructed at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue for the new building there as is the new fire station foundation, so there is just a hole in the ground in both places. I toured the train station. I toured the Apple store. I told a young blond fellow he should visit Scandinavia. I used the bathroom at the lower level of the senior and the arts center. The ground floor bathroom was closed. I stopped by CVS, and I bought two 17.5 ounce lightly salted Deluxe mixed nuts for $6.77 each less a $2 off CVS coupon machine coupon of mixed nuts over $8 for $11.54 total. I sat out for a while watching the local business community go to lunch. I saw a local politician showing around a group of Asian Businessmen. I chatted with someone from Lake Forest, Illinois. I sat out for a while after my walk. I then went to Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won $4 for $3 profit. I then went by the very busy Stop and Shop on West Putnam Avenue. Their meat counter is fully stocked with Holiday feast items. I bought a chunk of Jarlsberg cheese for $4.99 a pound $9.03, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey ham for $5.99 a pound for $5.93, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $4.94, two prepared colorful bowtie pasta alfredo meals for $1.49 and $1.99 each, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.43, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $2.29, a one pound bag of organic baby carrots $2.29 for $29.39 total. I chatted with a woman from Yorktown Heights, Virginia where there are supposed to be www.navy.mil people, and I told her about Williamsburg, Virginia, when I stayed there around 1964 for a month in the summer during July with a Harrison family member and we stayed with the secretary of the Colonial Williamsburg foundation President who also had an old Virginia family name in the restored Old Jail which was a house across the street from the State of Virginia mental hospital which was yellow brick. I then returned back to Chez Vinci, and I put away my groceries. I also chatted with a Greenwich Housing Authority official while I was walking downtown. CIO <888> 12/19/14 Friday 8:40 A.M. I woke up at 6:30 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. I will then go downtown to do errands. CIO <888> 12/18/14 Thursday 11:55 P.M.

I am now doing a Complete PC Backup of the System to the Rosewill 1 TB external USB hard drive. It is 53 gigabytes of space on a 60 gigabyte first partition. I heated and ate a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee lasagna which I ate with a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. CIO <888> 12/18/14 Thursday 7:45 P.M. I picked up the mail.

CIO <888> 12/18/14 Thursday 6:50 P.M. My neighbor returned $35 of the money that I leant him. He will return the other $$43.65 next week. I chatted with the neighbor about some of my old observations from the old days, when I could afford to travel and observe. I am still working on configuring the Lenovo ThinkCentre. Since the TrendNet Router Printer server does not work in a 64 bit operating system on the Lenovo ThinkCentre, I am going to hook up the new Dell B1160W laser printer to it, and place it behind it on the right side of the FIC server monitor.

While at www.lfc.edu in the old days, I studied Russian politics, but from what I know the political system in Russia has changed. A few of the local Russians here in Greenwich that use Starbucks downtown on Greenwich Avenue have told me that I look like I am a Russian though, and my father's DNA track over fifty thousand years goes through Russia.
