Saturday 9-18 Di Green's Monthly A2 Dance

 

Just having fun

We had a fun day.

We wanted to take the Minnie back to the storage center but the motorcycle and carrier was still on the back. With Larry's broken elbow we could not remove the motorcycle without help. We drove over to the storage center and measured the space and discovered we didn't have quite enough room to leave the motorcycle on the Minnie. Our new next door neighbor had offered to help so when we got home we uncovered the motorcycle and removed the extra gas container. While doing this a neighbor from across the street came over and asked if he could help us get the motorcycle off the carrier. Larry was very grateful for the offer. The neighbor owns motorcycles and a similar carrier so he has experience doing this. He rolled the bike down the ramp and into the garage by the boat. We visited with him for a little while.

After he left Larry backed the Minnie to the side of the house and taught me how to dump the tanks. We have owned the Minnie for 15 years and this was my first time to dump the tanks. When we finished we took it to the storage center.

Larry backed the Minnie into the stall with the carrier still on. It was a tight fit so Larry moved it forward and we removed the carrier putting it on the ground and partially under the car dolly. Normally we stand it on end and secure it to the wall but until Larry is healed that won't be happening. Once this was done Larry backed the Minnie in its place. Then we locked the stall and went home.

Once a month Di Green has been having a Saturday A2 dance at 2:00. This month she invited Ett McAtee and Jeremy Butler to join Terry McCann and herself to call the two hour dance. Di noticed we were there and asked how we were. Larry explained about his broken elbow and said that's why we were back early. We explained he would be out of commission for six weeks. Everyone was sorry to hear what happened.

Di had three breakout rooms: one was the main room, another was two couples tips only and the third was four couples moves tips. The opening half hour was in the two couples room with 31 participants. Ett called two tips and Terry called one. Then I moved into the four couples room for an hour with between 24 to 26 participants. Jeremy, Ett and Di called two tips a piece. The closing half hour was in the two couples room with 31 participants. Jeremy, Terry and Di called a tip a piece. Then we closed with a virtual hug. I had a super time.

 

 

After the dance I finished doing the Mahjong Daily Challenges and started catching up with the Microsoft Solitaire Daily Challenges. I did the Event: Free Cell Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 19 minutes and 6 seconds to complete, which put me in 12th place in my group. 

In the evening we watched an Amazon movie called Water For Elephants. It was a romantic movie about a former veterinary student in the 1930s, who joins a traveling circus and falls in love with the ringmaster's wife. It was a good movie. I ended up doing 27,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group. Then I started watching the 16th season of Silent Witness.
