Sunday 6-16-24 Happy Father's Day, Car Show, Games and More

 

Happy Father's Day. We had a great day.

I made Cinnamon French Toast Sticks for breakfast. Then we got ready to go to a car show. Every year on Father's Day the Rock Pointe Church has a car show. They have two locations and have show at both (Leander and Liberty Hill). The event starts at 9:00 am and goes to 12:00 pm, everything is free. You can donate money, which goes to B.A.C.A. (Bikers Against Child Abuse). We started by going to the Leander campus, which was 50 miles from the house.

We arrived at around 9:30. It was the first time we have attended the car show so Larry asked the gentleman who was directing traffic. He said we park in the field and they will shuttle us to the event in a golf cart. The show was just down the street about a block or two. It was a great car show with a lot of beautiful cars. It was organized very well. They had games for everyone, such as silent disco, helicopter rides, rock climbing, slides and more. There were food vendors. The silent disco was in the building, you put on head phone to listen to the music and you dance. The cars were in different categories (Antique Cars 1900-1963, Classic Cars 1964-1999, Muscle Cars 1960-1979, Chevy 1955-1957, Trucks 1900-2024, Mustangs, Corvette, modern Cars 2000-2024. Import, Restored to Stock and Motorcycles. After walking around for about an hour we took the golf cart back to the parking lot.

Once we got back to the truck Larry programmed in the car show in Liberty Hill, it was 11 miles away. The show was smaller but it had very nice cars. It was starting to get hot and one of the ladies had a small fan to keep her cool. Her partner had two fans that went around his neck, it looked like a headset. We weren't there too long maybe about a half hour. These events were to raise money for a child abuse organization. As we were leaving Larry made a donation.

On the way home we stopped by Walmart to pick up some salads. While there Larry picked up a chicken, which we had for lunch. 

Larry had gotten another idea how he might get the new jukebox power button to work the way he wanted. He had to modify a circuit board and do a bit of soldering but he finally got it. It took him days and lots of experimenting but he is really happy. Now he has to go back and update his documentation. 

Today started my new weekly challenge in pinball. This week it is Beavis and Butt-head. It was very hard to install and it took awhile for Larry to figure it out. It had a few problems. It doesn't come in virtual reality. After he installed Beavis and Butt-head he played it to make sure it worked. He also changed White Water from three ball to five balls.

I played the new weekly pinball challenge and four other games (Elvira Party Monster, Scared Stiff, White Water and Fish Tales).

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Klondike Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 1 minute and 21 seconds to complete, which put me in 32rd place in my group. Then I played some Angry Birds.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for 45 minutes. Then I rode a couple of roller coaster rides on Epic Roller Coaster.

In the evening we were entertained by a couple of squirrels drinking nectar. We relaxed in front of the television. We watched Alice In Wonderland for our movies and an episode of Northern Exposure. When Larry went to bed I watched Iron Man 3 and Ice Age: Melt Down. I ended up doing 17,000 steps, which put me in 3rd place in my group.
