Michael Louis Scott's Notes, Kennebunkport, Maine
Kennebunkport, Maine, Scott's Internet Hotlist
Note:
<888> 07/01/10 Thursday 4:45 P.M. I ate some reheated lasagna for lunch along with
watered down orange juice. I went
downtown, and I took some pictures downtown.
I also took some pictures at the west end of the Kennebunk beach. I returned to my relative’s house. I am in the process of backing, so I will now
pack the computer now. I will now post
any notes until I return home tomorrow.
I should leave Kennebunkport about noon tomorrow with a relative who I have
to drop off at the Manchester, New Hampshire airport. CIO
Note:
<888> 07/01/10 Thursday 1:45 P.M. Another relative is back at the house.
I can send
out email with the house wireless. My
Optimum Mail Server seems to be blocked, so I used www.hotmai.com to send out an email. CIO
Note:
<888> 07/01/10 Thursday 12:40 P.M. I bought Timberland
Men's 2 Eye Boat Shoe for $24.99 in 9.5 medium less 20% with coupon code “GRILLIN10” for $5 off and $4.95 shipping for $24.94
total. CIO
Note:
<888> 07/01/10 Thursday 12:10 P.M. I use to look like Tommy Tucker http://www.tucker.com/ whose family recently
sold a $80 million farm in Nantucket, and people in
Nantucket were always asking me, if I were living at my grandmother’s house, so
I guess they though I looked like him.
Tommy was in the class behind me at the Taft School in Watertown,
Connecticut; and he was from Bedford, New York.
However, now that I weigh 220 pounds, I probably no longer look like
him. His family were famous for the
Tucker Automobile :: The Official Tucker
Club of America :: . However, since
my branch of the Scott family have lived in America for 400 years coming from
Virginia, I probably have a few relatives that look like me that are not too prosperous. I once read that Friends of John Jay Homestead John
Jay’s mother was a member of the Scott family which owned two farms in
Manhattan around 1700, and were among the first two thousand residents of New
York City. Thus members of the New York
branch of the Scott family might have been able to hold on to some assets which
the Virginia branch of the Scott family which ended up in Illinois in the
railroad, soy bean, field corn and popcorn business were just average
citizens. Of course food is probably
cheaper in Illinois. CIO
Note:
<888> 07/01/10 Thursday 11:55 A.M. As I recall Mel Gibson bought his house in
Greenwich, Connecticut for about $18 million, so he made a $6 million profit on
it.
Greenwich, Connecticut USA, Real Estate . CIO
Note:
<888> 07/01/10 Thursday 11:20 A.M. I woke up at 9:30 A.M.. I ate the same breakfast as yesterday. I
moved a hydrangea to underneath the front bedroom window, and I moved the new
rose bush further to the right of the front door entrance, so it is more evenly
spaced with the two other rose bushes. I
showered, and I cleaned up.

Note:
<888> 06/30/10 Wednesday 10:05 P.M. I chatted with a friend on my wireless. We decided not to watch a DVD movie, because
it was too late. I chatted with
relatives. There were two fire trucks
that responded to a neighbor’s house for a false alarm, and they left shortly
thereafter. I will now shut down the
primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.
Mostly
sunny tomorrow in Kennebunkport, Maine and 51 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/30/10 Wednesday 8:30 P.M. For dinner, I had barbecue spare ribs, roast
chicken, tossed green salad with vinaigrette dressing and watered down orange
juice. We are going to watch a DVD movie
shortly about British Pirate Radio.

Note:
<888> 06/30/10 Wednesday 6:45 P.M. I went out with a relative after the last
note. We drove up to Kennebunkport, and
we went to the Fern nursery, but they were closed. Their sign saying closed on Wednesdays was
obscured by flowers, so it took us a while to figure out they were closed.
We then
went by the Wallingford nursery, and my relative got four two gallon shade
plants and a rose bush.
We then
went by the Circle K Irving gasoline station, and my relative bought me $17.50
of self service premium gasoline for $2.999 a gallon for 5.836 gallons for 85.7
miles driving since last Friday at odometer reading of 66491 miles for 14.685
miles per gallon driving at moderate local speeds. We then returned back to my relative’s house. We planted the four two gallon shade plants
in the back yard box planter. We planted
the rose bush to the right side of the front door. Another relative stopped by to visit. He has more relatives coming to visit
tomorrow at his house. Two more
relatives returned from shopping, and we helped unload the car. I put away the laundry.
Tomorrow
July 1, 2010 is a National Canadian Holiday Dominion Day, so we should be
getting some Canadian tourists here in Kennebunkport, Maine early before the
Fourth of July weekend. CIO

I woke
up at 9:30 A.M..
I ate the same breakfast as yesterday.
I drove a relative to H.B. Provisions to get some sun screen. I dropped the relative off at the Kennebunk
beach. I then returned back to my
relative’s house, and I showered, and I cleaned up. I went by the Market Day about a quarter mile north of the
Port Hardware store. I got a chef’s club
wrap for $7.99 and a bottle of Honey Moroccan green tea with mint which a
relative paid for. I went back to the
Kennebunk beach. I ate half the sandwich
with half the green tea at the beach. I
walked with a relative to the east end of the beach. We took some pictures. I put on some sun screen on my face and feet. I walked to the west end of the beach. I sat out with my relatives in the sun until
2 P.M.. I used the bathroom at the beach
three times. I returned with a relative
back to my relative’s house. I ate the
other half of the sandwich with the rest of the bottle of green tea. I am on the dry cycle of a load of
laundry. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/29/10 Tuesday 10:35 P.M. We watched the DVD movie “It’s Complicated”.

CIO
Note:
<888> 06/29/10 Tuesday 8:25 P.M. I took a nap until 5:30 P.M.. I drove along the Kennebunk beach in the Audi
with the air conditioner going and the windows up, and the Audi did not make
any unusual noises. I sat out for a
while on the north end of the beach. I
noticed on the parking signs that one needs a parking permit until 11 P.M., and
after that until 6 A.M., there is no parking.
I drove back to Kennebunkport, and I drove along the waterfront.
I forgot

I then
returned back to my relative’s house. I
cleaned some tree sap and bird droppings off the Audi. It looks quite nice now that it is cleaned
up.
I
watched the ABC evening news. We had
French cheese and dip and crackers, and I had some watered down orange juice.
For
dinner I ate lasagna with grated parmesan cheese on it and tossed green salad
and marinated corn and blue berry pie and watered down orange juice.

<888> 06/29/10 Tuesday 3:10 P.M. After the last note, I took a drive along the
back road of the waterfront of Kennebunkport, and then I drove along the
Kennebunkport waterfront.
The name
of the motel at the north of the road on the Kennebunkport Harbor is the Kennebunkport Hotels & Lodging | The
Yachtsman Lodge Inn & Hotel .

I drove
along the waterfront along the Kennebunk beach.
I stopped at the west end of the Kennebunk beach, and I stood out for a
brief period. This time of year, one
needs a parking permit until 11 P.M..
While
driving around in the Audi, I had the air conditioner turned off and all four
windows opened. Whenever I went over a
bump or man hole cover, the driver’s side front lower
part of the car made a slight tinny rattle.
When I got back to my relative’s house, I tried to check it out, but I
could not figure out where it was coming from.
I drove around a short distance more to check it out. It could have been there all along, since I
normally do not drive with the windows down and the air conditioner off. A relative said he would check it out later
on.
I worked
with a relative, and we transplanted 15 salmon colored geraniums into plastic
pots with two each. We put most of them
on the deck in back and a few in front of the house. We also transplanted three small begonias
into a larger plant.
I ate a
ham and cheese sandwich on pita bread with mayonnaise and potato chips and a
glass of watered down orange juice.
I
showered, and I cleaned up again.
CIO
Note:
<888> 06/29/10 Tuesday 11:30 A.M. I made a mistake, when we stayed in a motel
for the first three days, we did not stay in the Lower Village which is part of
Kennebunk. We were on the east side of
the harbor in Kennebunkport, Maine near the
The Colony Hotel - Kennebunkport, Maine
and Delray Beach, Florida .
We
stayed at the Kennebunkport ME
Affordable Inn Lodging Accommodations Vacation Weekend Getaway which was
about $170 a night which my relative paid for.
Across
the street is the Kennebunkport
Hotels & Inns | The Breakwater Inn & Spa, Maine and just north of
there is the Kennebunkport Maine
Hotel, The Nonantum Resort Hotel, Inn, Resort ME .
There
are a number of other motels in the same area.
On the
Lower Village side in Kennebunk, there is also the reasonable Kennebunkport Hotels, Kennebunkport
Maine Bed and Breakfast, Hotels in Kennebunk The
Franciscan Guest House which is suppose to have the lowest rates in the
area. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/29/10 Tuesday 11:00 A.M. I woke up at 9:30 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with sugar, milk and
a sliced banana, a blueberry muffin, watered down orange juice with vitamins
and supplements, and a cup of coffee with sugar and half and half. I replaced a light bulb in the master bedroom
hallway and at the top of the basement stairway. I used 40 watt light bulbs, since the only
other ones we had were 100 watt which would be too strong. A relative put all of the bottles and cans
out by the street that were picked up with the other garbage this morning. I emptied the bunk room dehumidifier. I will now shower and clean up. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/28/10 Monday 10:25 P.M. I chatted with relatives. I watched the CBS evening news. I had dinner of baked haddock, steamed
asparagus, two ears of corn on the cob, tossed green salad with vinaigrette
dressing, blue berry pie and watered down orange juice. I helped clean up the kitchen. We tried watching the movie “The Last
Station” , but the DVD disk was defective, so we did not see the end of it or
several parts in the middle. I will now
go to bed. CIO

Note:
<888> 06/28/10 Monday 4:05 P.M. I set up the HP Pavilion in the downstairs
bedroom. I also installed the Ezonics
USB web cam and Epson C60 inkjet printer on it.
It works just fine with the wireless.
I helped empty a relative’s car and put away the groceries. I emptied the bunk room dehumidifier. I emptied the dishwasher. I ate a ham and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser
roll with the last of the potato salad and a glass of watered down orange
juice. I put the two garbage cans out by
the street, and I also put the recycle materials out by the street. I put rocks on the recycle material, so it
will not blow away. Another relative
will take the bottles for recycle to the Kennebunk police station. I put the IBM Netvista computer in the rear
of the Audi, and I will get rid of it down in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Scattered
thunderstorms this evening with a low of 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Tomorrow partly cloudy and 57 to 85 degrees
Fahrenheit in Kennebunkport, Maine. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/28/10 Monday 12:55 P.M. I left a $5 tip for the motel maid
yesterday. I will be leaving
Kennebunkport a little after noon on Friday July 2, 2010 to drop a relative off
at the Manchester, New Hampshire airport, and then I will drive back to
Greenwich, Connecticut.
After
the last note, my relatives had some guests over. I drank some watered down orange juice. I then went with another relative to the Ramp
in Cape Porpoise, where we had dinner with two friends of the relative. I ate a hamburger with cold slaw and French
fries and a tonic water with a lime. We
returned back to my relative’s house. I
went to bed about 11 P.M.. I woke up at
10 A.M.. I ate breakfast of Cheerios
with a blue berry muffin and watered down orange juice with vitamins and
supplements and coffee with half and half and sugar. I showered, and I cleaned up.
I called
up the VIP garage in Arundel, and they wanted $180 to replace the brake fluid,
where as in Greenwich, Connecticut; they will do it at Audi for $160, so I will
get it done there. VIP would charge $305
to replace the serpentine belt which they have for the Audi. I looked at the Audi serpentine belt with a
relative who is an engineer, and we figure the serpentine belt is still good,
and it was replaced about 30,000 miles ago.
There is no noise when the air conditioner is turned off at low speed,
and at high speed the air conditioner does not make noise. It might be a bearing on the air conditioner
compressor, but I figure it could be low on coolant, so the compressor is
cutting in different RPMs than it might normally cut in on it. Thus, I will not get anything done on the
Audi while I am here, and I will get it checked out at Audi, when I return to
Greenwich. I chatted with a relative.
I am
going to remove the IBM Netvista from the guest room downstairs, and I am going
to setup an HP desktop that a relative brought up. I have to remove my files from the IBM
Netvisa. The Kennebunkport dump has a
thrift shop where I can donate the IBM Netvista. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/27/10 Sunday 5:45 P.M. I went with a relative to a friend of my
relative’s house for a brief visit.
At Bed and Breakfast Inns for Sale, Inn Consultants
and Brokers, Inn Consulting, Virginia, North Carolina, Maine, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Florida, New England, Ohio, Pennsylvania. , they have this
bed and breakfast inn For $1,250,000.
I was
told to meet their tax bill, the Rectory at St. Ann’s
Church Saint Ann's Episcopal
Church, Kennebunkport Maine is for rent before and after the summer season.
We then
drove around the Kennebunkport waterfront, and we went to the Bradbury’s
grocery store. We then drove out the end
at Cape Porpose. I returned to my
relative’s house. We are now doing some house keeping routines.
We have guests at 5:45 P.M.. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/27/10 Sunday 3:30 P.M. The $18.02 for the laptop computer bag that I
bought from Lenovo this past April 2010 finally was taken off my accounts, so I
have less money. I brought up the
Hawking wireless 4 inch diameter dish that I have, and I will leave it in the
bunk room in the computer desk shelf on the left side in the family house for
times we do not have wireless internet, so we can pick it up from a neighbor’s
house. It has its USB cables and CD disk
with the drivers. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/27/10 Sunday 3:10 P.M. A relative went away until Friday, but forgot
his laundry in the drier. I folded it,
and I put it on his bed that I made. I
am now drying some towels. I also
started a load of laundry for myself. I
went outside briefly, and I chatted with relatives. I chatted with a friend earlier. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/27/10 Sunday 2:35 P.M. I woke up at 7 A.M. this morning. I dropped a relative off at another
relative’s house. I ate the same
breakfast that I have been eating recently, but instead of oatmeal and English
muffin, I had a muffin and banana. I
showered, and I cleaned up. I packed my
belongings. I took them to a relative’s
house. I then brought back a relative,
and we moved the relative’s belonging to the relative’s house. We then picked up a Styrofoam chest that
other relatives forgot at the motel. We
went to a brunch with many relatives, and I had coffee. We then went to my relative’s house, and I
ate pulled pork, marinated corn, cold slaw, and watered down orange juice. I moved some items from the garage to the
basement. I said goodbye to some
relatives leaving. I gave a relative two
1 gigabyte PQI SD memory cards, so the relative could take some more pictures
in the future. I unpacked in the bunk
room in the basement downstairs. I set
up the Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer in the basement. We have wireless internet in the house. I am definitely staying here probably until
Friday, when I have to take a relative to the Manchester, New Hampshire
airport. In which case I might drive
down from there to Greenwich. It all
depends on my relative’s other house guests.
The air conditioner on the Audi makes noise at idle speeds like the
serpentine belt might be a little lose.
I am suppose to have it checked out this week, and also have the brake
fluid changed. There is a place in
Kennebunk that works on foreign cars called something like VIP garage. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/26/10 Saturday 10:35 P.M. I chatted with relatives. I showered, and I cleaned up. I went over to a relative’s house. We went to an event with other relatives. We then went to a family dinner. I ate stuffed chicken with asperagus and sweet potatoes and three glasses of tonic
water on ice with a lime wedge. I
chatted with a number of relatives. I
dropped a relative off at another house.
I returned to the motel with another relative. CIO
Note:

I sat outside for a while. I
chatted with some relatives. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/26/10 Saturday 2:15 P.M.
I woke up at 9 A.M. this morning.
I went with my relative to H.B. Provisions, and I ate the same breakfast
as yesterday. We ran into some other
relatives. I returned with my relative
to the motel. I then dropped my relative
off at a relative’s house. I returned to
the motel, and I showered, and I cleaned up.
I drove up to the Kennebunk Circle K car wash, and I got the Ultimate car
wash for $12. I had not washed the Audi,
since I was here last September 2009. I
towel dried the Audi. I vacuumed the
Audi for $1.50. I checked the new tires
for 36 PSI. I then drove over to the
Kennebunk beach, and I walked to the break water with a relative whom was
there. We met up with some other
relatives. I then returned back to the
motel with my relative. I then dropped
the same relative off at a relative’s house.
I waited for the motel room to be cleaned. I ate the same lunch as yesterday. I have to pick up two relatives at 4:30
P.M..
There
might be isolated thunderstorms and a few showers between 4 P.M. and 9
P.M.. However, around the waterfront the
weather can always change. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 10:35 P.M.
My relative got another ride back from the beach. I chatted with my relatives. We went over to a relative’s house. We chatted for a while. We went to another event with lots of
relatives. For dinner, I had southern
fried white chicken breast, pulled pork, marinated corn, slaw, corn bread, and
Canada Dry Club soda with a quarter of a
lime on ice. I dropped a relative off at
another house. I returned back to the
motel with my relative, and I will go to bed soon. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 4:20 P.M. My
relative arrived back at the motel with my Audi. We sat out for a while. I then dropped my relative off at the
Kennebunk beach. I drove up to
Kennebunk, and I went to the Irving Circle K gasoline station, and I bought $18
of self service premium for $2.959 a gallon for 6.083 gallons at 151 miles
since the Massachusetts turnpike yesterday at odometer 66406 for 25.17 miles
per gallon driving mostly in highway traffic.
I could not get a car wash there, since the car was closed there.
I then
went to the Hannaford supermarket where the Stop and Shop use to be, and I
bought bought two blueberry muffins for .99 each, sliced deli Hormel ham for
$2.99 a pound for $4.36, Finlandia Swiss cheese for $5.99 a pound for $6.05,
red potato salad for $2.99 a pound for $2.30, a package of eight Kaiser rolls

watered down orange juice. I will now go
visit with my relatives at the beach. I
used Scott blue mechanics paper towels which I had in the rear of the Audi,
since I forgot to buy paper towels and paper plates. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 1:20 P.M. I
walked over to the Colony Hotel Beach, and it is full of young families with
little children. There are a few
fishermen on the breakwater. There might
be a relative around from Illinois, since I saw a cardboard six pack container
for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer on the ground.
I sat out by the Breakwater Inn docks.
There is a piece of property 4.6 acres with what looks like a house on
it for sale at the entrance to the harbor on the west side. They have a telephone number on the sign
across the harbor. I noticed Chick’s
lobster house is selling crab meat rolls for $7.99 and Lobster rolls for $9.99. Mabel’s restaurant looks quite busy. Quite a few people are shopping the shops in
the lower village. A lot of cars are
parked over at St. Ann’s, so I guess a few people enjoying the ocean view from
there.
I
chatted with a friend in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A lot of downtown Bridgeport and Stratford,
Connecticut was damaged by the 60 mile an hour winds yesterday.
The
motel room has been cleaned. I have the
air conditioner going to stay cool. I am
waiting for my relative to return with my Audi, before I eat lunch. A lot of the places in Kennebunkport do not
take credit or debit cards, so sometimes cash comes in handy. My relatives had to pay cash for the dinner
last night at the Captain’s Table in Cape Porpoise, since they do not take
charge cards. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 11:55 A.M. I
walked downtown from the Lower Village to the Dock Square area of
Kennebunkport, Maine. I sat by the
waterfront, and I had a cigarette. I
stopped by the Big Apple gasoline market store.
I went to H.B. Provisions, and I ate a small bowl of oatmeal with honey
and a toasted English muffin with butter for $4.16, and I gave them a 75 cent
tip. I bought a half gallon of Tropicana
Premium orange juice with calcium for $4.79.
I said hello to some distant relatives walking by as I left. I sat out by the waterfront in the Dock
Square area again. I used the bathroom
at the public parking public restrooms.
I said hello to my two other relatives driving through town to get
fishing tackle. I sat out by the waterfront
at Perkins Park. I then returned to the
motel. I drank a 50% orange juice and
50% water mixture. The house keeper is
working on the neighboring apartment, so she will be cleaning our room
soon. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 9:50 A.M.
Three relatives took off for a walk and to forage for breakfast. Another relative took my Audi to go to a
relative’s house to iron some clothes and have brunch. I showered, and I cleaned up. I took my vitamins and supplements with a
glass of water. I will now go out for a
walk downtown, since I do not have the Audi until the relative returns at 12:30
P.M.. CIO
Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 9:00 A.M. I

Note:
<888> 06/25/10 Friday 6:45 A.M. My
other relatives arrived at the motel after the last note. We chatted for a while. About 6:30 P.M., we went to another
relative’s house for cocktails and dip.
More relatives showed up, and we all chatted. One friend’s son has the new Iphone that came
out yesterday. About 8 P.M., we all
drove in several cars, and we went to the Captain’s Table in Cape Porpoise for
dinner. I had the fried seafood combo
with French fries and a glass of water.
A lot of the relatives were drinking wine and beer. Two other relatives showed up later. One relative came from England and another
relative came from Seattle, Washington, so we tried to figure out which
relative traveled the furthest. Two
other relatives came up from Palm Beach.
One relative had been down in Key West recently, and he worked on
rescuing a stranded whale on the beach down there. About 10 P.M. we left the restaurant. I dropped three relatives off at Federal
Jacks. My relative that I am staying
with and I went to bed about 11 P.M.. We
sat out briefly by the harbor. It looks
like it might be a full moon tonight.

I woke up at 6 A.M. this morning.
I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk, a toasted English muffin
with Smart Balance Spread, watered down punch with vitamins and supplements and
a cup of coffee with milk and pure via sweetener. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my
bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the garbage. I had packed the car the night before. I went through my short list of things to do
before I left. I finally left at 8:15 A.M. after chatting with neighbors.
I drove east on Putnam Avenue to north on North Maple to north on North Street to the Merritt Parkway east. I took a pit stop at the New Canaan and Orange rest areas. I stopped at the I-91 North rest area. I then took I-84 East, and I stopped at the Vernon rest area. I stopped at the Massachusetts turnpike east rest area. I used the bathroom twice there. I ate a ham and cheese sandwich that I brought with me. I chatted with a relative. I bought $18.25 of self service premium gasoline for $3.049 a gallon for 5.987 gallons for 140 miles driving since I filled up at Sunoco two days ago at odometer reading of 66255 miles. I got 23.384 miles per gallon driving. I got off at the next exit at Worcester, and I paid a 50 cent toll. I took I-290 North to I-495 East. I stopped at the Lowell rest area, but their facility was closed today, so there are no bathrooms available there. I got on I-95 North, and I stopped at the New Hampshire rest area. I paid a $2 toll. I stopped at the Maine rest area. I paid a $2 toll. I got off at the Wells, Maine exit from the Maine turnpike. I stopped at the Wells Amtrak train station. I drove along the beach in Kennebunk, Maine, when it started to rain. I checked into a motel near my relatives. Another three relatives were checking in at the same time, and we are waiting for another relative that I will share the room with to arrive. I have wireless internet available. I unpacked. I cannot some cigarettes in the room, but there is a nice porch to smoke in front. CIO
