Wednesday 5-15-24 Dance Day, Wildlife & Minnie Project

Lake Belton

We had a beautiful day with a lot of sunshine. 

Larry started the day off by completing waxing the Minnie. He worked on waxing the back and front for three hours. While I danced.

I attended three virtual dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour. Di and Terry took turns calling five tips to 13 participants. Barbara and her husband zoomed in from Egypt to dance the last two tips. They hadn't been dancing zoom since they went back to dancing in person a couple of years ago. It was a pleasant surprise. Di and Terry did a super job of calling and cueing the dance. I had a super time dancing to them and with friends.

Second was Ett McAtee's Weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. She called five tips to 18 participants. She didn't do much cueing but she did walk us through sequences we were having problems with. I had fun dancing with friends.

Third was Dave Eno's Weekly C1/A2 at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Karin Rabe and Greg Moore helped Dave call the dance. The format was three C1 tips and three A2 tips with 9 participants in each session. Karin and Greg took turns calling the first tip of C1 and A2, Dave called the second tip of C1 and A2 and all three took turns calling the third tip of C1 and A2. During the A2 tips we did a couple of Trivia questions. All three did a great job of cueing during the dance. I had a great time dancing with friends.

 

After Di and Terry's dance Larry moved the Minnie to the side of the house and dumped the tanks. While the grey tank was being dumped we had lunch. When we finished lunch we took the Minnie to the storage center.

While I was dancing to Ett, Larry replaced the battery in the motorcycle. Then he took it for a ride. When he got back he noticed there was animal under the tree in the backyard. It wasn't very big and at first he thought it was a fox, looking a bit closer he discovered it was a very small fawn. Mom was by Jason's fence making sure the fawn was safe. They hung around for over 45 minutes. The fawn was very young and when it got up it was nursing. At one point Chris came out of his house to check his pool pump, the doe left the fawn alone for a short time. The fawn had no problem, it just laid under the tree until mom came back. This was a pleasant surprise.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for an hour after Ett's dance.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Event. The event was Event: Easy Street Mini of 15 games. It took me 30 minutes and 7 seconds, which put me in 18th place in my group. I played Angry Birds.

After Dave's dance Larry found a new series on Acorn to watch, which is Harry Wild. It about a retired professor who investigates murders. We watched a couple of episodes together. When Larry went to bed I continued watching the series. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 2nd place in my group.
