Sunday 10-27-24 Dancing with the Sundancers, New Challenge & More

 

 

We had a super day with a high of 91 degrees.

Larry spent part of the day researching parts to build a new computer.

My new weekly challenge is Halloween. Larry downloaded and installed it in both 2D and VR. Once he got it installed he played it to make sure it worked correctly. Then he played World Joker Poker, Willy Wonka and Superman and the Justice League.

We spent the day doing this and that. 

I worked on my diamond painting (Colorful Eye).

I played pinball. Today is the beginning of the week so my challenge changed from Maverick to Halloween. I played Maverick and got a new high score of 644,611,030, which put me in 50th place out of 61 participants. Then I played the new challenge of Halloween, my high score was 483,890, which put me in 4th place out of 4 participants. I also played Willy Wonka, Superman and the Justice League and World Joker Poker. I didn't get on the board but had a great time.

Halloween is an older game, it is from 1978. These games were known as electro-mechanical (EM) games, they used old electronic designs. The newer games use solid state electronics, they have much better sounds and far more complex playfields. We are not big fans of the older EM tables but for an EM table Halloween is really impressive. The game looks terrific and the VR room is very nice.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for an hour.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Klondike Mini of 10 games. It took me 32 minutes and 31 seconds, which put me in 19th place in my group.

In the evening we went to Sun City to dance with the Sundancers for their Weekly Plus Dance. It started a half hour later because there was a conflict in the availability of the room. I baked Krusteaz cinnamon swirl crumb cake and everyone enjoyed it. We got there a little early so we watched the round dancers and said hi to people we hadn't seen for years. We had enough people for one square and five people sat out. Char and Glen showed up and we said hi, we hadn't seen them since they went back to full-time in person square dancing. They travel around the country and dance to different callers and they dance up to the level of C3A. Gary called and danced with us. He worked shopped some moves because a lot of the dancers are new plus dancers. We had a fun evening.

We were back at the house by 9:00. Larry read his e-mails and a forum he follows. I did my steps, which was 18,000 steps, which put me in 2nd place in my group for the week with a total of 123,462 steps. After Larry went to bed I watched The Avengers.
