Saturday 12-3 Visiting Louise

 

Smile and have fun

We had a wonderful day.

We started the day out by going to Round Rock to visit Louise and Alice. 

During our last visit Louise said she would like a new television. Her TV is very old and the picture is not very good. During the black Friday sales Amazon put their Fire TV's on sale. Larry called Louise, she decided to order a new larger TV and a stand to put it on. It arrived the other day so we decided to go install it this morning. Before leaving Larry loaded his small tool box in the car. Earlier this year we replaced our soundbar so we also loaded our old one in the car. On the way to Louise's we stopped by Top Donuts for our breakfast.

When we arrived Alice didn't even bark to let Louise know we were there. After Larry set his tool box on the coffee table he went to work on installing Louise's new television. First he disconnected the old television and I helped him move it to her spare bedroom. The new television is a Fire TV and Amazon had e-mailed Louise the directions to install the television. Larry assembled and set the stand the height it needed to be. Then he locked the television on the stand. Next he put the sound bar under the television. He connected the sound bar to the television and it worked excellent. He was surprised that he didn't have to do any adjustments at all. The picture was perfect and the sound bar sounds great. Larry programmed her Alexa devices to turn on and off the television and to change the channels. Louise is very excited about the setup.

For lunch Louise bought a Papa Murphy pizza and chips. For dessert we had some Christmas chocolates. 

Louise has been having problems with her cell phone, it keeps turning off when in use. Larry worked on it. He couldn't get it to work so he setup her old one. Now she can receive calls but sometimes she can't call out so she has to use her home phone. She needs a new phone.

While Larry worked on the television and cell phone I worked on a jigsaw puzzle. I played with Alice. We had a great visit.

We got home at 3:30. Larry worked on the pinball project. I played games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event today was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 56 minutes and 52 seconds, which put me in 16th place in my group. I played Angry Birds.

In the evening we relaxed in front of the television. We watched a documentary on Amazon called Good Night Oppy. It was about the Viking Mission, which was a mission to explore Mars. NASA built twin sisters rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) to explore Mars. The rovers were only expected to last 90 days but lasted 15 years. Then I watched Armageddon. I ended up doing 27,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
