Note: <888> 05/31/11 Tuesday6:35 P.M. I ate three scrambled eggs, five strips of bacon, and a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance Spread, and a glass of watered down punch. I checked the oil on the Audi, and it is fine. I need to add a pint or slightly more of antifreeze, once I have time to buy some. I am waiting until the pollen season is over, and I might try to find the time to get the Audi washed at the car wash across the street, and I have some Final Detail car wax Final Detail | Auto Detailing Wax | Car Interior Detailing that I might put on it. The Final Detail car wax is easy to apply since it does not need buffing. One just sprays it on, and wipes it dry. CIO

Note: <888> 05/31/11 Tuesday4:20 P.M. I woke up at 8 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. I showered, and I clean up. I went through my foot fungus procedure. I threw out the garbage. I tried to turn off the building custodian's car lights, but I could not figure out how, so I called the Greenwich Housing Authority to page him. I went to my 11 A.M. appointment. I gave them the Renter's Rebate information. They are not sure if it will be funded this year or not because of budget cut backs. I then went downtown. I sat out for a while. I chatted with a local on my wireless phone. The local came out, and we chatted some more. I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center. I went by the ATM bank at the Chase Bank just south of the Greenwich Post Office. I walked further down Greenwich Avenue to the Classic Barber of Greenwich , and I watched the French Open while I waited for a hair cut. I got my hair cut short preppy style for $23 and $5 tip for $28 total. I then stopped by the Apple computer store on the way up Greenwich Avenue, and I tried to use the Ipad 2, but I could not figure out how to bring up the keyboard. I then used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center. I then sat out for a while. I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of Stop and Shop English muffins for $1.49, a 4.25 ounce bottle of McCormick whole peppercorns for $4.99, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.50, fresh bananas for .79 a pound for $2.91 and broccoli crowns for $2.49 a pound for $2.76 for $14.65 total.

Note: <888> 05/31/11 Tuesday1:55 A.M. The bushes in front of the Senior and the Arts center have some sort of bugs in them at night that make a clicking sound. When they use to have bushes around the Veterans monument across the street from the Senior and the Arts center, before they took them out a few years ago, there use to be black Korean wasps in them 24 hours a day which some people found undesirable.

I put the large British Union Jack in front of the right hallway bookcase, and I put the Dutch Tricolor in front of the left hallway bookcase which is the recent normal setup. I no longer have the large 50 star U.S.A. flag to display in the hallway, since I took that up to Kennebunkport, Maine last summer to fly on the flag pole in front of the family house up there. I will be going up there on June 14, 2011 for two weeks to spend time with family, and I will pick up a relative at the Manchester, New Hampshire airport on the way up.

Kennebunkport, Maine, Scott's Internet Hotlist

Since the governor of Florida is a member of the Scott family, and since I have still have family members down there, despite the fact that I was deported up north in February 1982 for being a Yankee, I put out the small 3 inch by 5 inch Florida flag on the paper tray of the Samsung color laser printer at the apartment entrance.

Traditionally "The Old Guard" or better known as the Army of the South arrive in this area for their Summer Country Club activity GreenwichCC - Golf & Country Club on June 1, when the help also arrives to take up their summer rentals on June 1.

I think one of the reasons they might leave the south besides the heat which we will have plenty of here up north is that they hope to avoid the Tropical Storm season. The local year round people also try to make money off them.

A lot of the Old Guard since they lived up here long before the newer generation are the major real estate owners in the town of Greenwich, Connecticut and also probably large investors in the area. CIO

Note: <888> 05/31/11 Tuesday12:50 A.M. I ate the last of the cold eye round in the same meal that I have been eating recently without the sliced carrots in the vegetables.

I was downtown on Thursday evening, and I noticed besides the existing wreath at the rear of the Veterans Monument across the street from the senior and the arts center, there was a new wreath out there at the front of the Veterans monument. I also went out at midnight on Friday morning, and it was still there. I was there again on Friday evening, and it was still there. I did not go out on Saturday evening. Last night on Sunday evening, when I was out, I noticed the new wreath had disappeared from the front of the monument, but the old wreath was at the rear of the monument. Thus it would seem between Friday evening and Sunday evening, somebody took the new wreath from the front of the Veterans monument across the street from the Senior and the Arts center. CIO

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday11:30 P.M. I have all of the paper work copied and ready to present tomorrow at my 11 A.M. meeting, when I need to submit all of the paper work for my Renter's Rebate. We use to only need one month's copies of the different receipts, but now they want all of the months' receipts for the previous year which is a lot of paper work. I am lucky the Brother MFC 8840D Brother International - Multifunction Centers - MFC-8840D all purpose machine easily handled the heavy copy load. Staples is currently out of stock of the newer refurbished models.

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday9:55 P.M. I sorted out all of the paper work on the right side of my bedroom desk. I threw out the old bills before 2010 and documents and other paper work. I have the 2010 Greenwich Housing Authority rent statements, CL-P electric statements, and the Chase Bank statements that I have to copy for my Renter's Rebate application tomorrow at 11 P.M.. One can also get a CL-P electric statement off the internet. I only have the December 2008 SSI income statement for 2009, since there has been no SSI COA since then. I now have to make copies of all of them to submit tomorrow at my 11 A.M. appointment.

I chatted with a relative. CIO

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday7:15 P.M. The building fire alarm went off. Three fire trucks and the fire chief truck responded. There was kitchen smoke in one of the apartments from a George Foreman grill. They are airing out the apartment with a industrial fan. I threw out the garbage. I moved the Audi to its usual location. I will now shower and clean up and go through my usual foot fungus procedure. I was told by the person that I chatted with last night to use Buy Radiance Tea Tree Oil online at CVS.com on my foot fungus. CIO

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday6:30 P.M. I woke up at 4:30 P.M.. I chatted with a relative.

I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. I chatted with a friend. Apparently, there was a bit of rain this morning. I will now make up a fresh batch of punch. CIO

Note: <888> 05/30/11 Monday1:10 A.M. I threw out the garbage after the last note. I went downtown, and I went by CVS.

I then drove further downtown, and I sat out at a few locations. I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center. I chatted with a local walker from Darien, Connecticut about the price of tea in China. I will keep one of the weather stations for a spare one, and I will try to remember to take one up to Maine with me, when I go up there in mid June 2011. CIO

Note: <888> 05/29/11 Sunday7:00 P.M. They are still showing John Wayne vintage World War II movies on . I guess the Old Guard have not forgotten World War II. I will now shower and clean up and go through my foot fungus procedure. I will then go out on a great adventure to the most glamorous street in World known as Rodeo Drive East or Greenwich Avenue where the Rich and not so rich mingle on a daily basis for better or worse. I guess some of the other village idiots think I am rich, since I still smoke cigarettes. There are suppose to be some thunderstorms tomorrow and hot for the rest of the week, so I guess I should get out and enjoy the ambience of whatever few evening strollers are around in the economically depressed area of Greenwich, Connecticut. Of course this is the New York City metropolitan area, so there are always a few people coming off the highway to see what is going on here. Having spent a number of years in Manhattan, I am use to the ebb and flow of the New York City daily way of life. I suppose a few daytime people are just winding down their days, while the New Amsterdam Dutch night watch is just getting motivated.

up in Norwalk, Connecticut is a good place to get an air conditioner, if you think you might get one. However, you have to make sure it will fit into your car, and you are capable of installing it.

Note: <888> 05/28/11 Saturday9:35 P.M. A sick friend called me up at about 3 P.M.. I woke up at 5:30 P.M..I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I washed the breakfast dishes. I decided to leave Google Chrome OS beta on the second partition of the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop and the second partition of the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop, since it is faster than openSUSE. However to uninstall Google Chrome OS from the Epox computer and the Dell Latitude 4600i computer, if it is on a second hard drive like the Epox one has to use disk manager to delete the openSUSE partitions. However, then to restore Windows, one has to use the Seagate Utilities to do a quick low level format of the first hard drive. Then one has to do a Paragon backup restore of Windows to the first hard drive, or try whatever other backup and restore utility one has. Thus without a backup, one would have to do a new Windows installation. I do not think I will put openSUSE on the Epox and the Dell Latitude 4600i computers, since it is not needed, since I have Windows XP Professional on both of them. I also did a low level format of my 4 gigabyte USB pen drive, and I restored it to the primary work computer to use for ReadyBoost. I chatted with a relative. I ate a few day old muffin. CIO
