Tuesday 5-18 Dancing and More Rain

 

Happy Tuesday

We had a beautiful day with sunshine in the morning. Mid afternoon a front came in with a lot of rain and thunder and lightning. It stayed around the rest of the day.

I finished reading The Imbroglio at the Villa Pozzi. It was an easy read but very good. Larry finished his book.

Larry received a text from our new neighbor Jason asking if we happen to have a security camera that recorded activity on his building site. He said his electrician had something stolen out of their truck yesterday while it was parked in front of the garage. When they started building Larry had taken a spare indoor camera and pointed it out a window that looks directly toward what is now their garage. Larry downloaded the recordings from yesterday and put it on a memory card so they could see it. While he was downloading the recordings he viewed the files. He found what appears to be the theft happening and who did it. He texted Jason and the electrician came and retrieved the files. Hope it helps them get their item back. 

We have 9 security cameras, 8 are looking outside, there is an interior one that points to our front door. We display four of them on a monitor by our desk. Two of those are mainly for us to watch the wildlife on the porch and back yard. This was the first time we have ever actually used one for a security event. All of them record whenever they sense movement. We really like having the monitor, not only can we watch the wildlife out back but we can easily see our driveway and activity in front of our house.

We attended three virtual square dances. First was Dayle Hodge's Weekly Plus at 11:00. We had 32 participants. He called four two couples tips and one four couples. After the second tip Dayle did a special singing call in German. He did an excellent job. He had taken four years of German when he was younger. He is a very talented guy. We had a super time.

Second was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly A1/A2 Workshop at 1:30. During the A1 session we had 32 participants, A2 session we had 36 participants and the Four Couples tip we had 35 participants. We had a fun afternoon dancing to Di and Terry and with friends.

Third was Don Moger's Weekly A2 at 6:00. Don had 42 participants. We had an outstanding evening. Don had us laughing and cued us through moves we were having problems with.

In the afternoon I did the Daily Challenges and the Event: Spider Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 14 minutes and 9 seconds, which put me in 13th place in my group. 

For dinner I barbecued HEB Sausage, Cheese and Jalapeno Poppers. We hadn't had them in a long time and they were delicious.

After the last dance we watched two episodes of The Men Who Built America. Then I watched a few episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. I ended up doing 27,000 steps, which put me in 2nd place in my group.
