Wednesday 11-6-24 Dance Day & Computer Project

 

Having fun with friends

We had another beautiful fall day with the high in the mid 70's.

I attended three virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour and fifteen minutes. Di and Terry took turns calling five tips to 13 participants. When Di called she worked on a few four couple moves in different positions. They were Track 2, Spin Chain the Gears and Load the Boat. When she did Load the Boat she concentrated on the center part of the call. When the dancers had problems with the formation and move Di would walk us through the move. Di and Terry both cued and told the dancers where their phantoms were. I had a great time dancing with friends.

Second was Ett McAtee's Weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. She called four tips to 17 participants. We just danced and she tried to tell you where you were but she did say what formation you were in. I had fun dancing to Ett and 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 call the dance. The format was three tips of C1, three tips of A2 and two Trivia questions in between the A2 tips. During each session of C1 and A2 Dave would call one tip, Karin and Greg called together on tip and the third tip all three would call together. During the C1 tips we had 10 participants and the A2 tips had 11 participants. I had a super evening of dancing with friends.

 

Dancing in a square with friends

 

While I danced Larry continued working on his new computer. He installed programs and now has it playing pinball in 2D and VR. He is having some difficulties stopping the ball from stuttering. He has gotten it better but not yet acceptable. He will continue to play with the computer to make it do what he wants it to do.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 45 minutes and 21 seconds to complete, which put me in 18th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for an hour.

Working out

I played four games of pinball, which were Walking Dead, James Bond 60th Anniversary, X-Men and Superman and the Justice League.

Superman and the Justice League

X-Men

I worked on my Sea Turtle diamond painting.

When Larry went to bed I watched Spider-Man: Homecoming. I watched the third episode of the third season of Whitstable Pearl because it was the last episode available for this week. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 3rd place in my group.
