Saturday 11-26 Pinball Cabinet & Playing Games

 

We had a weird weather day but mostly the weather report was correct. We started with rain that turned into sprinkles. The sun came out for a short while and then clouds and wind came in. In the afternoon we had sun along with clouds and it was windy

Hold on

Larry spent the morning and into the afternoon working on the pinball machine. First he painted some of the pieces. Some of the pieces were stained, they had to be taped before painting. The painting started off fine with sunshine and very little wind and then the clouds and wind came in making It difficult to paint and finally making it impossible. He used three different spray paints, two of the cans had been hanging around the house for years. One board took a long time to dry. Larry put it in his workroom and turned on a small heater to dry it. When the boards were dry he lightly sanded them. They still need another coat of paint. He completed staining and polyurethane the legs and two braces. He believes he is done with the staining. The project is very slow but we're still having fun doing it.

While Larry worked on the project I played games because he didn't need my help. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event today was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 36 minutes and 57 seconds, which put me in 8th place in my group. Then I moved onto playing pinball games.

After Larry stopped working on the project due to the wind being too strong he worked on downloading pinball files.

Larry received an e-mail from the UPS Store that we had a package. Shirley had told Larry to keep a lookout for the package. It was our Christmas gifts and goodies (Lake Travis Mudd and Rice Krispy Treats (peanut butter). While we were in town we did our weekly grocery shopping.

In the evening we continued watching Miss Scarlet and The Duke. Then I watched James Bond movie Die Another Day. Then I continued watching the second season of The Mallorca Files. I ended up doing 26,000 steps, which put me in 2nd place in my group.

While watching television we munched on the Lake Travis Mudd and Krispy Treats. They were delicious.
