Note: <888> 05/31/09 Sunday 6:20 P.M.. I chatted with a relative. I went out after the last note. I went by the Chase ATM machine at the Chase Bank on West Putnam Avenue just west of Greenwich Avenue. I met up with a fellow walker, and we sat out at Garlick and Herbs while the walker had coffee out that their outdoor sidewalk terrace, which is more private than Starbucks. We then went for a drive in back country. We drove up North Street. We toured the parking lot of the Greenwich Country Club. We then drove up to Banksville, New York. We went to the Banksville Hardware store, and we toured the Saddlery and the hardware store. They repair John Deere lawn equipment there. We then drove back down North Street to Upper Cross Road, and we drove west to Lake Avenue and south on Lake Avenue to Close Road and then north on Round Hill Road to Aiken Road, and then we turned around, and we drove down Round Hill Road. I showed the passenger the houses on Baldwin Farms North and Baldwin Farms South, where my family once lived in the 1960s. We then drove down Lismore Road looking for a brick house that is not there anymore. We then drove down to the bottom of Round Hill Road and across Lake Avenue to North Maple. We then drove up Husted Road to Cornelia Drive, and I showed the passenger the location of another family house that is not there anymore. We then drove around the Greenwich Academy playing fields where the Brunswick Playing fields use to be. We then drove back into town by where the Round Hill Dairy use to be. We then went to the Greenwich Library, and I used the bathroom. There was an old Chevrolet Delivery truck in their parking lot. I said goodbye to the fellow walker. I saw Greenwich Gossip , and he is going to England next week to see if it is still there. At Balmoral Castle and Estate, online shop, gift shop, holiday cottages, fishing, scotland , they still rent Holiday Cottages Balmoral Castle and Estate, online shop, gift shop, holiday cottages, fishing, scotland . I then went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I then went by the Greenwich Automotive Services Gulf gasoline station, and I bought $15 of self service premium for $3.059 a gallon for 4.905 gallons for 83.4 miles driving since last Saturday at odometer reading of 62703 miles for 17.003 miles per gallon this past week. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of boneless center cut pork chops for $1.99 a pound for $4.96 and fresh Chiquita bananas for .68 a pound for $2.26 for $7.22 total. I then returned home. I made and ate the same dinner of sautéed London Broil and steamed vegetables. I printed out two copies of my Microsoft Money 2007 May 2009 Income versus spending report. CIO

I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then shut down the primary Vista computer. I will then shower and clean up. I will then go out for a walk. CIO

Note: <888> 05/31/09 Sunday 10:15 A.M.. For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed.

The Amazon.com: Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub F5U407: Computers & PC Hardware for $8.23 arrived yesterday. I put it on the second Dell Latitude CS laptop computer, and it works just fine. I removed the powered D-Link LAN Hub, and I put it underneath the bedroom sideboard.

The SIM Card Backup Reader Device for $5.99 with free shipping arrived. I backed up the Sim card telephone directory in my primary Nokia telephone, and I wrote it to the SIM card in the Motorola wireless telephone. CIO

Note: <888> 05/31/09 Sunday 8:15 A.M.. I went out after the last note yesterday, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center before and after the walk. During my walk, I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, CVS, and the Chase Bank on West Putnam Avenue just west of Greenwich Avenue. After my walk, I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I bought a white microwave proof dinner plate for $2 and a Amazon.com: Panasonic PV-DF2700 27-Inch Pure Flat TV-DVD-VCR Combo: Electronics made in December 2000 for $15 for $17. I used my small folding cart to wheel it to the car, and I put it in the back seat. It manual is here Panasonic PV-DF2700 Manuals, Support and Troubleshooting - OmniVision TVs . I then returned home. I used the cart to bring it up to my apartment.

I will not go through the many details of the installation but just a quick summary. I put it on the white bedroom bureau, but when I tested it the tuner would not work, but the picture worked with the DVD and VCR player. I put my Orion television on top of it, and I connected the Orion television video and audio outputs on the rear to the video and audio inputs on the rear of the Panasonic. Thus I get the picture and sound from the Orion television on the Panasonic, when it is tuned to Video 1. I was able to get the Panasonic to work with my Philips Universal remote control by setting it to code "0345". One can bring up the menu for the Panasonic with the Input button on the Philips universal remote control. Needless to say the various options on the menu button would not get the tuner to work. I have the Panasonic manual printed out to study later. However, it works just fine in its current configuration, but one has to have both televisions going to get it to work. I have both televison connected to the cable system with a gold splitter, but I disconnected the JVC VCR and the television lead to the bedroom Gigabyte computer. I put two new AA alkaline batteries in the small Panasonic television remote control in the living room. I put two new AA alkaline batteries in the Orion television remote control. I ate a 9.5 ounce can of cashew nuts bits and pieces with some watered down passion punch. I chatted with a relative earlier. I went to bed at 10 P.M., and I was awake at 5:30 A.M., when I finished setting up the Panasonic. I moved some of the stored items around in the bedroom, and I threw out some old computer parts boxes yesterday. CIO

Note: <888> 05/30/09 Saturday 7:00 A.M.. I paid my June 2009 bills for electricity at www.cl-p.com , Digital Cable Television, Optimum Online Optimum Boost Cable Modem service, and Optimum Voice Long Distance Telephone service at www.cablevision.com , and my local telephone at www.verizon.com . I also ordered from www.ordersmokesdirect.com seven cartons of King Mountain Ultra Lights 100s in a box for $25.49 a carton and $18.46 shipping for $196.89 total. CIO

I ate lunch of two hot dogs with buns and ketchup and mustard and 1/4th of a 5.5 ounce tube of Pringle sour cream and onion potato chips and a dill pickle slice and a glass of watered down passion punch and a cup of Salada green tea with spenda and lemon juice. CIO

Note: <888> 05/29/09 Friday 2:10 P.M.. I woke up at 2:30 A.M.. For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% passion punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and splenda. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I did house cleaning for about the first time since before Easter. I listened to Broadway tunes on the wireless headphones while doing house cleaning. The covering on the foam rubber on the ear pieces is deteriorating, so small black pieces of black covering came off on my ears. I put charged up metal hydride rechargeable batteries back in them, and I am charging up the ones that I used, and they will be ready at 6 P.M.. I put another blue toilet tablet in the toilet tank. I watered the plants. I ate the same sautéed London Broil meal as two nights ago. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I went back to bed from 9 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.. I chatted with a relative. I went outside, and I threw out more garbage. CIO

Note: <888> 05/28/09 Thursday 6:40 P.M.. Earlier in the morning, I also ate two bowls of reduced fast Cheez-its. Well not much happening way out here in Southwestern Greenwich, Connecticut on the old Lyon Farm homestead. Since there is also a Lyon Farm Road in Nantucket, I guess they had a place up there too. The Queen Mum of England was from the Bowles Lyon family, so maybe the Lyon family here and Nantucket is related to British Royalty, who knows. There was a plate at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop with Queen Elizabeth's picture on it for $25 with a small stand. We try to be anglophile here, but since we do not get any money from England, we pretty much know who helps us pay our bills. I guess the English since they do not know America as well as my family does have a hard time surviving off the land. If they ever took the time to ask me for some basic advise about this neck of the woods on this side of the pond, I could always give them some free information like I was sort of like Traveler's Aid. Of course we have so many Hollywood types around here, we are always somewhat suspect of people imitating other people, and the long term residents in this area tend to know the other long term residents for what it is worth. From my viewpoint, there is not much happening around here. They still manage to keep the grass cut, and the electricity still works, but from what I can tell all the New York City people do is drink coffee here, and they tend to think we are some sort of rustic country bumpkins. The New York City people tend to be programmed differently than some of the more professional residents in this area. Since the Greenwich Times is a public media newspaper, a lot happens here that the more private people manage to avoid the peeping Toms from the local Hearst Media. I know quite a few media people can afford to live here, and quite a few others seemed to have ended up living elsewhere, when they ran out of news to cover. Basically the news is a small group of people's viewpoint on a much larger world, and much of it is paid advertising, so it is hard to tell whether they are trying to inform us, or just sell us something. From what I know most people here have no interest in moving to California, except for a few younger people who like sun tans, which people on the east coast can easily get down in Florida. California is an agricultural state, so possibly they are trying to compete with Florida over food production. Well, I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon. The internet went off briefly. Have a good evening. CIO
