Tuesday 11-22 Painting and Staining

 

Smile and have fun

Smile and have fun. The weather remained deary and it sprinkled in the afternoon. 

Larry started the day out by going to town for lab work. On the way home he stopped at the UPS Store to pick up our mail. Then he stopped at Jack n Jill Donuts to pick up breakfast. 

I slept in until 8:30. When I went into the living room Larry was already home. It didn't take him long because he didn't have to wait at the lab and there was no one at the UPS Store.

Baylor Scott and White is where we go for medical care, they have an online tool called My Chart where they enter appointments, test results and anything they do there. It works super. In the afternoon their system notified Larry that his lab results had been posted, he was able to check them out and everything came back perfect.

After breakfast we went back to working on the pinball machine. We had to stain a board that Larry had filled with wood filling. We also stained the back of another board we couldn't do yesterday. After the stain dried Larry started the polyurethane process. Tomorrow we have one side left to do on one board. We still need to do the staining and painting on the playfield cabinet

It wasn't raining outside and it was a little warmer today so we decided to paint boards. As the painted boards were drying Larry looked at them and didn't like the Satin black color he had used, it was too glossy. We went to Walmart to get a flat black. They didn't have a flat black in the brand we had used so we picked up a Matte black. We thought it would be close to flat black, we were wrong, it had more gloss than the satin, so back to Walmart. We picked up a flat black in another brand. It worked out excellent.

We played some pinball games.

In the evening we watched an episode of Death In Paradise. I did a load of laundry. After Larry went to bed I watched Star Trek Into Darkness. Then I watched a couple of episodes of The Mallorca Files.I ended up doing 27,000 steps, which put me in 1st place in my group.
