I ate the rest of the linguine and alfredo and bay scallop mixture with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I noticed while I was out at Tod's Point this morning at high tide during a full moon in October, the water was up to about 2.5 feet from the road. Thus in a day or two, when we get the hurricane with the high tides this time of year, there could be some major flooding along the shoreline in this area. CIO Note: <888> 10/27/12 Saturday 3:10 P.M. I went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. At the Taco Joint across from the Greenwich Train Station there was a wounded pigeon on the ground fluttering its wings. I did not touch it so as not to disturb it. I called the Greenwich Police, and they said they would send someone over. However, after about 10 minutes the pigeon quit moving, and when I touched it with my foot, it appeared dead. A local merchant was sweeping the sidewalk, so he lifted the dead pigeon up with a broom and put it in the rear of a nearby garbage truck. I did not touch the pigeon, since pigeons can have lice. About that time the police showed up, and I told them the pigeon was dead. After walking lower Greenwich Avenue, I used the bathroom at Starbucks. I then sat out for a while. I then drove over to Staples in Old Greenwich arriving about 7:45 A.M.. They opened at 9 A.M., and there were only three other customers, so there was not a large crowd waiting to buy Windows 8 products.

I then toured the Old Greenwich Rummage Room thrift shop. On the way out of the parking lot by the Old Greenwich Fire Station, I noticed men and young men filling sand bags from a large pile of sand. I then drove out to Tod's Point. I sat by the Southwest Parking area, and I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I then used the men's room at the new convenience station. It is a quite nice rest room facility they built. I then walked out the to the Southwest Picnic area, and I sat out for a while. I then drove over to the Southeast Picnic, and I used the rest room, and I chatted with a local jogger. I sat out for a while. I then returned back to downtown Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a friend on my wireless telephone. I then used the bathroom at Starbucks. I sat out for a while enjoying the weather, and I chatted with a local walker. I then used the bathroom at Starbucks a while. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought buy one six pack of Thomas' English muffins for $4.19 get two six packs free, two 19 ounce Stouffer's meat lasagnas for $2.50 each, bananas for .79 a pound for .66 and a 24 ounce package of Simply mashed potatoes for $2.50 for $12.35 total.

I saw the Republican Campaign headquarters on East Putnam Avenue in Cos Cob with lots of signs around it, but it is hard to find a parking place in that area. Plus I am so big anymore, I might scare the volunteers. CIO Note: <888> 10/27/12 Saturday 6:10 A.M.

I washed the breakfast dishes. From what I have read in tech reports, although one can currently buy Windows 8 Pro at a discounted price, it does not come with the Windows Media Player which costs an additional $70. Thus if one has Windows 7 and uses the Windows Media Player, it will cost one the cost of Windows 8 and the Windows Media Player to have the Windows Media Player on Windows 8.

I took a plastic microwave proof pot, and I put in a 15 ounce jar of Bertolli garlic alfredo sauce, and I seasoned it with Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder, ground black pepper, celery salt, Italian seasoning and a quarter of a cup of extra virgin olive oil, and I mixed it all together, and I put a lid on it, and I put in the GE microwave oven.

Instead of clean up, I took my bedroom air conditioner out, which is sort of a tedious process. First I had to move all of the items away from the window area. Then one removes the duct tape from the left side Plexiglas. I then hoisted the air conditioner out of the window on to the bed. The air conditioner probably weighs about 70 pounds. I then used my little folding cart from the rear of the Audi, and I rolled the air conditioner from the bedroom to near the rear side of the Ethan Allen recliner which I had moved forward temporarily. I then slid it into place against the wall. I then put everything back into position in both the living room and bedroom. I put a Lakso fan in the opened bedroom window with screen to get a little bit of fresh air. The bedroom window is easy enough to open and close at night, since it slides easily. I will wait a couple of weeks to take the living room air conditioner out which is less tedious, and it only weighs about 40 pounds. I threw out some garbage and I chatted with the ceiling installer about the hurricane. I will now shower and clean up. Also with the bedroom air conditioner out, I do not have to worry about rain getting into the apartment with the hurricane. The living room air conditioner is in tighter in the living room window, so there should be no leakage problem. CIO Note: <888> 10/26/12 Friday 9:35 A.M. I chatted with a relative. I ate a few day old muffin. Another reason for not installing Windows 8 on one of my IBM ThinkCentres is that with a hurricane coming, I might not want to deal with tech problems for a while. Recent tracking on Hurricane Sandy is Hurricane SANDY Tracking . Residents, boaters urged to prepare for 'Frankenstorm' - GreenwichTime . I will now shower and clean up. CIO Note: <888> 10/26/12 Friday 8:55 A.M. Since I have the downloaded copy of Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, I went ahead and cancelled the Staples order for {Pre-Sale} Windows 8 Pro (1-License) [Boxed] | Staples® for $69.99 less a $20 off $50 order online email coupon and $3.18 tax for $53.17 total with free shipping. The have to call me back to confirm the cancellation, but they can leave a message on my answering machine. CIO !!!!!! Note: <888> 10/26/12 Friday 7:45 A.M. I bought and downloaded the 32 bit version of Windows 8 Pro for $39.99 Buy Windows - Microsoft Windows . One downloads an application that tells one if one can run Windows 8 on one's machine. One can not buy or download it, if one's computer will not run Windows 8. I saved the download to an *.iso file, and I burned three DVD copies. I also copied the download to a pen drive and saved it on other machines. I also did the paper work for receipts and saving the product key. I can not figure out, if I want to install it on any of my IBM ThinkCentres just yet. The best one would be an upgrade on the IBM ThinkCentre by the hallway entrance, since its video card supports two monitors and it has a new 500 gigabyte hard drive. However, it only has two gigabytes of memory, where the first and second IBM ThinkCentres have three gigabytes of memory, but do not support a second monitor. I will have to think about it for a while, and possibly even wait for a few days or more to install it. I also do not have enough external hard drive space to back it up once I have Windows 8 installed. CIO Note: <888> 10/26/12 Friday 4:35 A.M. I woke up at 7:30 P.M., when I got the Town of Greenwich emergency telephone message about Hurricane Sandy early next week Preparations for Hurricane Sandy Underway - Town of Greenwich, Connecticut . I finally woke up at 3 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, a 12 ounce glass of watered down punch, and a cup of coffee with Splenda sweetener and milk. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. CIO Note: <888> 10/25/12 Thursday 3:35 P.M. I went downstairs, and I picked up the mail. I said hello to some neighbors. The building social worker is here. Before a hurricane, one should not buy too much food that needs refrigeration in case one looses electricity. Current tracking on Hurricane Sandy is for this area next Tuesday Hurricane SANDY Tracking. Greenwich, state cast wary eye on Hurricane Sandy - GreenwichTime Not too early to prepare for Sandy - GreenwichTime I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 10/25/12 Thursday 1:55 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I lightly toasted 4 slices of Stop and Shop 12 grain bread, and I took a 5 ounce can of Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna fish, and I opened the can, and I left the lid on, and I drained it underneath cold water. I then pressed the lid down to squeeze out the water. I then flaked the tuna fish into small chunks with a fork in a mixing bowl. I added two quarter inch thick slices of Bermuda onion diced into quarter inch cubic chunks and 10 large black pitted olives cut in half, and I season the mixture with Old Bay Seasoning, celery salt, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and two large heaping tablespoons of Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise, and I mixed it all together. I put the four slices of bread on a dinner plate, and I spread one fourth of the tuna mixture on each of the slices of bread. I ate the open faced sandwiches with a bowl of Lays barbecue potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of A&W root beer. I think if we are having a hurricane come our way, we should build up our energy by eating a little bit more food. Also usually before election day, the various local politicians try to make food cheaper, so one might vote for them. Then after election day, one goes back to being hungry. CIO Note: <888> 10/25/12 Thursday 12:15 P.M. I noticed while I was out for my walk, they took out the tree stump at the entrance to the board of education parking lot. They also removed the center row of trees from the Greenwich Common. CIO Note: <888> 10/25/12 Thursday 11:55 A.M. I went out, and I went by CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I told somebody I know that lives on the waterfront about the hurricane threat. I bought a 12 pack of Scott 1000 sheet toilet paper $7.49 and a two small tube package of CVS super glue gel for $2.27 and .62 tax for $10.38 total. There was a dollar off sticker on the Scott toilet paper, they forgot to take off and use. I will see if they will give me the dollar later. I then went further downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I chatted with a few local people. I toured CVS again, and I used the bathroom there. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store http://www.greenwichhardware.com/ to tell them about the hurricane threat. After I finished by walk, I went by the A&P Fresh. I bought two 12 ounce packages of Purdue chicken cutlets for $2.99 each package, bananas for .79 a pound for .55, a plastic bottle of America's choice honey mustard for $1.34, bay scallops for $4.99 a pound for $5.09, a package of imitation Alaska crab for $2.99 a pound for $2.27, and a Bermuda onion for $1.79 a pound for $1.32 for $16.50 total. I then returned back to Chateau Chez Vinci. I put away my groceries. I hung the plate back up on the wall above the sweater closet, where it was before. It looks just fine. On the back it says "22 Karat Gold", so I guess it has gold leaf paint on it. CIO Download 1.38 Mb. Share with your friends:
