Tuesday 10-27-26 Dentist, Dancing, Projects & More

Awesome Day!

We had an awesome day of doing this and that.

The morning temperature was 61 degrees and the high temperature was 85 degrees. We had a little breeze, which kept the weather very comfortable.

We started the day out by going to town. Larry had a 8:00 am appointment to see the dentist. The dentist filled a tooth and patched one of his front teeth. When we were on our trip Larry had cracked a tooth and got it filled. The dentist looked at the job and said the other dentist did an excellent job. HE didn't want to do anything with it because the tooth may last a long time. He was in and out by 8:45.

Then we swung by the UPS Store and checked our mail. Larry was looking for the new truck tags, it was waiting for him in the mail. When we got home he replaced the old tag with the new one.

On the way home we stopped in at Jack 'n' Jill Donuts to buy breakfast.

When we got home Larry continued playing with his jukebox that is running Jukecab for windows. The project is coming along very well. After installing the newest version of the software Larry had small issues with things that use to work correctly. He had written the developer Jay. Jay discovered they were both bugs that he had introduced with other changes he made. He has now fixed them and gave Larry the newest code. Everything is now working correctly. Larry still has some things to do, he needs to sort out a album playing skin and he needs to relabel a couple of buttons. He is having a great time playing with the jukebox.

We attended Di Green and Terry McCann's Halloween dance at 11:00 for an hour. It was their weekly A2 dance and Di called five tips to 13 participants. Larry danced four of the tips with me. Terry tried to dance the first tip but couldn't so Di danced by herself. In between the tips we visited with each other. Di did a great job of calling and cueing. Some of the dancers dressed up for Halloween and others wore the colors for Halloween. We had a super time dancing with people from the U.K., Canada, U.S. and France.

I decorated the house for Halloween with items Larry made. I hung a Skeleton, a Witch, Dracula, Frankenstein and Jack-O-Lantern on the China cabinet. On the refrigerator I hung Mr. and Mrs. Scarecrow. Larry had made a couple of werewolves but gave them away. He decided to make me one. He has all the pieces cutout and tomorrow he'll assemble it.

I worked out for 32 minutes using the Wii Fit. I worked out with three exercises from the Aerobics menu for 8 minutes (Basic Run for 2 minutes, Hula Hoop for 2 minutes and Rhythm Boxing for 4 minutes), three exercises from the Balance Games menu for 8 minutes (Penguin Slide for 2 minutes, Soccer Heading for 2 minutes and Tightrope Walk four times for 4 minutes), three exercises from the Strength Training menu for 12 minutes (Balance Bridge 20 reps for 6 minutes, Single-Leg Extension 20 reps for 3 minutes and Torso Twist 6 reps for 3 minutes) and three exercises from the Yoga menu for 6 minutes (Chair for 2 minutes, Palm Tree for 2 minutes and Warrior for 2 minutes).

Halloween Dance

We had an outstanding day.

The weather was perfect for doing this and that. The morning temperature was 57 degrees and the high was 80 degrees. It was overcast all day.

We attended Di Green and Terry McCann's Halloween Dance at 10:00 am. The dance was their weekly C1 but because Halloween is Saturday Di decided to make it a Halloween dance. Yesterday, Daylight Savings Time ended in the U.K. so today the dance was at 10:00 instead of 9:00. Terry didn't dance today so Di danced by herself. She called five tips to 19 participants. Larry danced four of the tips with me. We hadn't danced C1 to Di in over two months so we made a few mistakes. Di called a lot of four couple calls and didn't cue like she usually does. In between the tips the dancers visited with each other. Some of the dancers dressed up for Halloween and other wore orange and black. We had fun dancing with our Zoom family from Russia, the U.K., Canada, France, Germany and the U.S.

Larry continued working on the inkjet printer. It has taken days but he finally got it working correctly. Larry has a program that runs every week to send a print job the printer, this helps to keep the ink from drying up in the print head. When we are on the road we take the computer with us so this doesn't happen. This morning he installed the program on another computer that we will leave running when we travel, hopefully that will help keep this from happening again.

Larry worked on a small project for Louise, which was to build a box for her front door security camera. When he finished building the box he tested it out by putting one of our cameras in it. It worked perfect.

I finished Horse of Iron puzzle yesterday so today I started a new puzzle that Louise gave me for Christmas. The puzzle is The Garden Shed by Carol Decker. It's a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. I ended up putting the frame together.

After lunch I unlocked the Minnie and made the bed using the new sheets, pillow cases and comforter. The comforter set is an eight piece set with two purple pillow cases, two purple, aqua and floral pillow cases, one small purple pillow case, purple fitted sheet, purple unfitted sheet and an aqua paisley floral comforter. Then I put a guilt, which was made by Larry's mom (Shirley) on top. Now the Minnie's bed is ready for our next trip. Then I put other items away in the Minnie. We won't be going on another long trip until the spring. But we will do short trips in Texas.

While playing I earned a silver trophy, an extra ball, played three events (Safe Crack, Gun Fight and Quick Drawl two times) and did four multiballs (Safe Crack, S.A.L.O.O.N., Wooden Sign Rally and Jailbreak. I played very well considering I hadn't played Gunpowder Gulch since 7/12/26.

We watched YouTube videos. Larry has got caught up with all the YouTube videos we follow.

In the evening we watched Rooster Cogburn from our movies collection. It was a 1975 western starring John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn. I still enjoy watching it even though I have watched it many times. When Larry went to bed I watched Mission Impossible 2.

By the end of the day I did 4,000 steps.
