Wednesday 11-20-24 Dance Day, Pinball Project & Diamond Painting

 

Awesome Day

It was a gorgeous day with a lot of sunshine. The high was 65 degrees with a north wind, which made it a little chilly.

Larry spent the day working on the mini pinball cabinet. He drilled the holes for the fans, a few holes for the flippers and a hole for the on and off switch. He also prepared the piece of the top box with bondo. Once the bondo setup he sanded it down. 

I attended three virtual square 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 10 participants. In between the tips we talked and joked around. Di and Terry did an excellent job of calling. When the dancers had problem they walked us through the move. I had a great time.

Second was Ett McAtee's weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. Ett called four tips to 21 participants. We discussed if we were going to meet next week, which is the day before Thanksgiving. About half of the dancers said they would be there because they weren't from the United States. She said she would let us know. Ett called a lot easier moves and I had a lot more fun this week than last week. 

Third was Dave Eno's weekly C1/A2 at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Dave wasn't there because he and his wife were in Thailand. Karin Rabe and Greg Moore called the whole dance. They called each tip together, which was 3 C1 tips and 3 A2 tips. In between the A2 tips we had a Trivia question. During the C1 tips we had 8 participants and the A2 had 10 participants. Karin and Greg did a great job of calling the dance. I had a fun time.

 

Having fun with friends

 

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Free Cell Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 27 minutes and 4 seconds, which put me in 5th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for 30 minutes.

I played seven games of pinball. They were Playboy, Elvira Party Monsters, Cactus Canyon, World Joker Poker, Big Buck Hunter Pro, Dr. No and Mission Impossible. No new high scores but I had fun.

After the last dance we continued watching the first season of Elementary. When Larry went to bed I watched a new series on PBS called The Marlow Murder Club. I watched the four episodes, that were available. I ended up doing 17,500 steps, which put me in 2nd place in my group.
