Saturday 11-7-26 Two Car Shows, Workout, VR Project & More

Smile and have fun

We had overcast skies, which kept it nice and cool. The morning temperature was 55 degrees and the high temperature was 72 degrees. We had a little breeze.

We started the day out by attending two car shows. The first show was in Waco, about 55 miles from the house. The car show was the 2nd Annual Autopalooza Autism Awareness Car/Truck/Bike Show. It was located at Camp Fimfo. 

Camp Fimfo is a gorgeous RV resort.  It has 247 RV sites with full hookups, 88 cabins including options for up to 11 guests and primitive tent spots. The amenities are a heated resort-style pool with a swim-up bar, a water playground, mini golf, pickleball courts, jumping pillow, and on-site dining at Squirrely's Tavern and the No Dive Bar. The resort is pet-free, free Wi-Fi in public areas and free self-parking. In the playground the resort had a cool swing. You sit on the cable and go a long a cable to the other side and have to swing your legs to get you back to where you start or walk the sit back to the start. It's like a zip line.

The car show had a lot of beautiful vehicles. The paint jobs were outstanding. It took place on a huge grassy area. There were four or five aisles of vehicles and a row of food vendors. There were a few vendors in the aisles with the vehicles. The vehicles were stationed going one direction. They had people driving around on golf carts to take spectators to the show. Below are some pictures of vehicles we saw while walking around. It took us about a half hour to walk through the car show.

The second show was in Belton. It was the 2nd Annual Cars & Camaraderie, which was honoring veterans throughout the community. It was very small so it didn't take long to walk through. They had very nice cars and motorcycles. Below are a few pictures of the cars.

On the way home we stopped at Little Caesar and bought a pizza for lunch. After lunch Larry spent the afternoon playing with the VR program of converting pinball games to VR. Today he worked on the Sexy Girl game, he made a VR room and put a graphic on the side of the pinball cabinet in the room. Once again he used AI to help him with creating the side graphic. It came out great.

Larry started the day out by going to get his lab work done for his annual wellness checkup next week. On the way home he stopped at The Ginger Breadman in Belton. 

It use to be Little Bohemian Bakery. The owner retired so a worker took over and changed the name. It the same as before except she has a couple of new flavors of cinnamon roll. They sell yesterday's rolls at half price. Today they didn't have any. He bought a pecan raisin cinnamon roll. When he got home we shared the roll for breakfast.

While I played games and worked out Larry worked on playing virtual pinball on his Dell computer. He played pinball with his VR headset. He said it was hard to do because the computer was very slow. But he had fun.

We watched YouTube videos.

In the evening I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly A2 dance at 6:30 for an hour. Ett called four tips to 9 participants. I made a lot of mistakes because I wasn't paying a lot of attention. I still had fun dancing to Ett and with friends from Australia, Canada and United States.

After the dance we watched Toy Story 1. Larry rented it on Amazon. It was cute and very entertaining. When Larry went to bed I watched a couple of movies on Amazon Kids, which were The Dog Who Saved Halloween and The Wild Robot. The  Dog Who Saved Halloween wasn't that good. The Wild Robot was a cute movie about a robot trying to find herself and raise a gosling. I liked this movie.  

By the end of the day I had done 4,000 steps.
