Saturday 11-19 Pinball Project & Front

 

Happy Saturday

We started the day out working on the pinball machine. Larry installed the buttons, a total of nine ( five in the front and two on both sides). He drilled the holes for the buttons using a hole saw on his mill. Afterwards we disassembled the top cabinet and sanded down the piece. Next step is to paint the pieces.

The front buttons

Two buttons on each side

While Larry was working on the buttons I played my games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before I went to bed. I did the event, which was Event: Medium Mayhem of 27 games. It took me 1 hour, 28 minutes and 51 seconds, which put me in 18th place in my group. After helping Larry sand down the cabinet pieces I played Angry Birds. 

We had a short day working on the pinball project because a front came in. When we finished sanding we couldn't paint because it was sprinkling and the wind came up. That was ok because I played more Angry Birds games and Larry worked on figuring out how to program the buttons. Up until now we have been playing the pinball games using a keyboard.

We watched YouTube videos.

In the evening we watched a movie on Amazon called The Magic of Belle Isle. We had watched it before but didn't remember it. It was about a novelist of westerns who had lost his drive (Monty Wildhorn) and a single mother of three who becomes friends. It was very good. Then we watched an episode of Death In Paradise. Afterwards I watched Black Panther. I ended up doing 28,000 steps, which put me in 3rd place in my group.

Relaxing in front of the television

Larry setup my new vivofit4 to track my steps. I started the day out by wearing both Garmin devices to see if the new one works ok. It works perfect. My new device has started me out with a daily goal of 7500 steps, it really is 25,000 because of the weekly challenge I'm participating in. When I stepped in place the new vivofit changes into a running mode. When I get my goal the band tells me and fireworks go off. I got my goal three times and the fireworks went off three times and it said I met it 3x. It's always fun to learn new things.
