I ate three four ounce On-Cor Salisbury steak patties with beef gravy with a baked sweet potato with Smart Balance Spread, extra virgin olive oil, and beef gravy, and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 8:25 P.M. I ate three ounces of almonds. I rested two hours. I chatted with a friend twice. I put clean linens on the bed. I took two loads of laundry downstairs to the laundry room, but the MacGray http://www.macgray.com/ laundry card machine reads the card, but it will not take money; so I can not do laundry this evening. Nobody answers their telephone number at 1-800-MAC-GRAY. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 3:35 P.M. I threw out the shipping boxes. I moved the Volvo wagon to its usual place. I said hello to the building custodian. They put the freight elevator construction plywood shielding back in place in the front entry way. I picked up the mail. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 3:15 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I made 192 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching series 12 episode 4 of "Poirot". I also opened up the new bag of 80 ounces of Turkish pipe tobacco, and I put it in 20 quart Ball jars with about 4 ounces to each jar. There was free five inch blade folding knife sent with the tobacco order. I put it in a safe place. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 11:40 A.M.

I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 10:40 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I said hello to a neighbor. The front entry way is blocked, because the elevator people have taken down some of the construction barrier plywood in the front lobby for installing the new freight elevator. I said hello to the elevator people. Apparently there is some sort of basement area underneath the main part of the building, so the custodian is going to use it for storing some of his work equipment. This public housing project at 71 Vinci Drive for elderly and disabled people was built during the Reagan Republican administration. During the H.W. Bush administration, we had more disposable income. During the Clinton administration, they cut back on our disposable income, but I think they replaced the slate roof with an asphalt shingle roof. During the W. Bush administration, they put in new double pane windows. During the Obama administration, they put in insulation in the ceilings and now the freight elevator. It would be nice if they gave us more disposable income. CIO <888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 9:25 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 will now shower and clean up. Since it is a rainy day outside, I will not be going downtown, because with my arthritis, I would not be comfortable.

I sat outside briefly, and I said hello to neighbors. I picked up the mail. CIO <888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 2:55 P.M. Apparently, the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table had gone off line, and when I rebooted it the remaining 11 Windows 10 apps installed quickly. I thus have it all configured. I will open and configure the apps on the two IBM ThinkCentres with Windows 10 partitions at a later date. CIO <888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 1:25 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I finished installing the additional apps on the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. They installed real fast unlike the apps on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I still have 10 apps to install on it. I can not figure out why it takes so much longer on that machine. I am also installed my five Amazon music DVDs to the machines which takes a while. CIO <888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 11:30 A.M. I threw out the garbage. They are working on installing the new freight elevator http://www.schindler.com/com/internet/en/home.html . Meals on Wheels was delivering food to my neighbors. I chatted with a neighbor. I have 11 more apps to install on the beta machine. I then have to open and configure some of them. CIO <888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 10:05 A.M. On the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, over night it installed most of the 140 apps that I had selected. It still have 26 apps to install automatically. I think the Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 App server is too slow in the New York City area. It might be faster in Redmond, Washington, but here the apps download take a while. 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 make up a fresh batch of punch. I will then shower and clean up. CIO <888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 9:10 A.M. I woke up at 8:30 A.M.. I paid off my www.geico.com automobile insurance policy or the next three payments, which policy is good until April 8, 2015. Paying bills ahead of time is like saving money. CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 10:45 P.M. I mostly finished configuring the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table on the second partition with Windows 10 Technical Preview. I am now installing the apps on it which will take a while. In the future, I will have to open each app as needed to activate some of them.

CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 4:20 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went to my Greenwich Town Hall department of social services appointment early. I sat outside briefly watching the workers install a new handicap sidewalk in front of the building. I then read Vanity Fair and part of New York magazine. I submitted the form to my social worker for my Holiday voucher. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.34 and a four pack of blueberry muffins for $2.99 for $4.33 total. I then returned home. I chatted with a neighbor. The new German elevator has arrived. When I opened up the grocery bag, only the sweet potatoes were there, and the blueberry muffins were missing. I will have to pick them up tomorrow. Also last week, when I got home from the Stop and Shop, a sweet potato was missing. I checked the Volvo wagon to make sure. I picked up the mail. CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 12:45 P.M. I will now go downtown and people watch before my 2 P.M. appointment. CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 11:45 A.M. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 10:30 A.M. I woke up at 9:30 A.M..

I need it for a spare for the FIC server data hard drive. To restore the backup on the FIC server, one has to have the exact same size hard drives installed. I will now go back to bed. CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 5:00 A.M. Email - Gingrich Webcast, GE-Reagan Scholarship, and Ronald Reagan Signature Pens! - Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library I finished configuring the first partition on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I shut it down. I will now go back to bed. I will configure the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition, when I have the time. CIO <888> 10/20/14 Monday 4:45 A.M. I woke up 1:30 A.M., and I brought the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table out of sleep to continue installing the updates, and then I went back to to bed until 4 A.M., when it had finished installing the updates. I am now running Advanced System Care 7 on it. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 11:30 P.M. On the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, I have its configuration updated on the first partition. I am now installing the Windows Updates on it, which will take a while. I will now go to bed. I will try to wake up to shut it down after the install. I have a 2 P.M. appointment this Monday afternoon. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 10:45 P.M. I chatted with a relative. Ancient Scottish fish 'first to have sex' CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 7:55 P.M. I slept until 5:30 P.M.. On the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, I took out the refurbished Western Digital 160 GB SATA hard drive, and I put in a new 320 GB Seagate SATA hard drive. I am in the process of configuring it with a backup of the primary partition and on the second partition the Windows 10 Technical Preview, so it will be another beta machine. It will take some time to finish setting it up, and a while to install the Windows Updates on the first partition. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 4:30 P.M. I ate 8 ounces of reheated Perdue grilled Italian chicken strips, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 3:05 P.M. For the IBM ThinkCentre on the dining table, I ordered http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm Galaxy GeForce GT610 GC 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card for $14.99 and $5 shipping and $1.27 tax for $21.26 total. To get it to work on the IBM ThinkCentre PCI Express slot, one has to cover all of the gold pins on the card with scotch tape on the long slot except the first 7 pins on the left as one looks at the card with the plugs on the left. I was told by two local police officers in Greenwich that the new police cars in service have the Belgium license plate scanning system, where they can scan fifty thousand license plates an hour and compare them to a data base to see if anything is out of order. It would be interesting to know, if the same system would know if one's automobile insurance had expired or not besides matters like registration and emissions and ownership of the vehicle. Of course in nearby Manhattan, they have five thousand cameras in Midtown connected to a Microsoft security system to observe the general public moving around town. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 1:50 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside briefly, and there does not seem to be anyone around here on a cooler afternoon. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 12:30 P.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. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 10:35 A.M. I stayed up until 3 A.M.. I woke up at 9:30 A.M.. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 10/19/14 <888> 10/19/14 Sunday 12:05 A.M. I ate two ounces of mixed nuts. I will now send out my weekly notes.

Hurricane Gonzalo: Bermuda 'bruised' by direct hit CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 9:05 P.M. I ate 8 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 8:40 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:30 P.M. I woke up at 7 P.M.. I picked up the mail. I sat outside briefly, and I chatted with neighbors. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 1:55 P.M. When I was downtown today, I chatted with somebody that was with a company affiliated with Google. 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 Lays low sodium potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I ate 6 ounces of mixed nuts. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 12:55 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.chase.com bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue. I told one of their officers I had seen on Bloomberg News yesterday that there are 450 banks in the Midwest on the verge of insolvency. I then went downtown to Greenwich Avenue. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. It was pretty much a normal Saturday morning. I chatted with a few local seniors. I watched the Greenwich High School home coming parade which was very festive and colorful. I then returned home to the tranquil setting of Chateau De Vinci. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 8:15 A.M. The http://www.fpcg.org/ is still looking for a new full time minister. When I lived in Decatur, Alabama, I became a member of the First Presbyterian Church there. However, when we moved to Greenwich, Connecticut in 1962 and lived in back country off Round Hill Road, we went to our local church http://www.roundhillcommunitychurch.org/ which was Episcopal. When I went to the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, I did not go to the school church service very often, but instead I went to the Episcopal Church 7 A.M. Communion Service on the Green. When I went to www.lfc.edu it was a Presbyterian College. When I returned back east I knew a lot of church people, but I never got a decent job, so I mostly was on a night schedule observing the world go by, and I never bother going to church, since I usually was not awake on Sunday morning. When I lived in www.nantucket.net I learned the Quakers out there were originally Presbyterian, but when they learned the Quaker religion did not have a minister they would have to pay, they became Quakers. When I was briefly in Key West, Florida in the mid 1970s, they thought I was an Episcopal priest, since I was one of the few people that spoke English. Thus religion in America is a mixed bag of things depending on where one lives and what one's income is. Since my mother's family is from Holland, Michigan where the Dutch Reform Church is also very active, I happen to have a lot of relatives involved in the Dutch Reform Church. The Scott family in Champaign, Illinois I was once told were either Methodist or Baptist, depending on which relative one talked to. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:15 A.M. I got a little bit of business advise for the local business community last night. Since the Rockefeller family became a very private family over 30 years ago withdrawing from the public eye, not much is known about them except a report about 20 years ago that they were raising Swiss Dairy Cows at their farm in North Tarrytown, New York; so they can write off the property taxes on their farm as a working farm which means lower property taxes. Since they probably have good quality milk, it was suggested that they start making cheese to increase the farm's revenue. CIO <888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:00 A.M. I woke up at 6 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 I chatted with a relative. Do US presidents carry cash and credit cards? Surf's up, way up: Hurricanes target Bermuda, Hawaii I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a muffin. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 10/17/14 Friday 7:45 P.M. I chatted with neighbors. One neighbor still needs me when I have to the time to check out his computer wireless connection and his living room air television connection. I just recently have not had much free daytime time, since I have been on a night schedule. I went to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. I even wore my light green summer weight suede sports jacket that I got as a clearance item from Joseph Banks for $20 with free shipping a few years ago. Of course at size 48 regular, it is a bit tight. I recently have been wearing a 50 regular. I have two blue blazers that I think are 50 regular. I also have a nice size 48 regular Orvis Harris Tweed Jacket. However, not many people wear sports jackets anymore, since the younger generation like to wear sports wear. After my appointment, I went by CVS. I had to wait a while to pick up two prescriptions. I chatted with a Canadian that had a house in Nantucket. I bought buy one get one free of CVS time release 60 capsule vitamin B-100 for $14.79 both and one of their last five packs with one mini Bic lighters for $7.29 with $1.83 off CVS coupon and $1.29 tax for $21.54 total. I then drove further downtown, and I stood out on a warm day chatting with another senior citizen who had a son driving out to Chicago. I then walked over to Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won a free card, and on the second card, I lost. I then sat out for a while longer. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.19, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $4.94, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey cured ham for $5.99 a pound for $6.23, two 9 ounce Wise Lightly salted potato chips for $2.50 each, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.25, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.45, and 30 cents can return for $21.76 total. I looked around for blue berry muffins, but they were all sold out, and at $4 a four pack, they are a bit expensive and probably fattening. I then returned home to Chateau De Vinci. I delivered a package to a neighbor. I picked up my mail. I finally got my Renter's Rebate check, but it is about $300 less this year at $411.90, which I guess will help pay for my www.geico.com automobile insurance, so Warren Buffet can get richer on a car that I can not afford to drive too far. I think in Connecticut, insurance companies like the one in California, should charge for the number of miles one drives instead of the fixed rate. I chatted with a relative. I put away my purchases.
