Friday 12-27-24 Fishing on Nolan Creek, Dancing & Games

 

 

It's Friday let's dance

We had a gorgeous day with blue skies and the high temperature of 82 degrees. 

Larry spent the the last couple of days working on the sound of the mini pinball cabinet. He installed two more exciter speakers and two more amplifiers. The machine now has true 7.1 sound (6 speakers and a sub woofer). He also spent time playing each game and adjusting their individual volume levels. The games sound excellent.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Two Game Tango of 20 games (10 Free Cell and 10 Pyramid). It took me 2 hours, 37 minutes and 22 seconds, which put me in 15th place. Then I played Angry Birds.

At 1:45 we went to town. Every year the City of Belton and Texas Parks & Wildlife join together and put on an event called The Rainbow Trout Program. It's a free event target to children, bait is supplied and you can fish without a license. This year the event was December 11 & 27 from 2:00 to 4:00. The event takes place on the banks of Nolan Creek. Texas Parks & Wildlife stocks the creek with rainbow trout big enough to catch and eat. Participants 16 and under fish without a license but the adults have to buy a license. We got there when it started. Texas Parks & Wildlife set up a tent, where they supplied bait and they had some fishing poles. People were sitting and standing along the banks of Nolan Creek. Families had their chairs set up and picnic lunches and something to drink. We hung around for about a half hour watching people fish. One gentleman caught four while we were there. Everyone looked like they were having a great time. Below are pictures of the event.

 

 

 

On the way home we stopped by the UPS Store and picked up our mail. Then we stopped to put gas in the truck. We didn't fill it completely, it spends most of its time sitting in the garage and the fuel gets old. The last time we fueled it up was May, before that was October 2023.

The computer in the truck is saying we should change the oil. We have only put 2,000 miles on it since Larry last changed it but that was 3.5 years ago.

When we got home we went back to doing what we were doing before going to town. 

I worked out with the Synth Riders for a half hour. I worked out using three songs three times.

New Comedown

Hard to Love

I played Asteroid Outpost twice on Bounce Arcade. I ended up get a bronze metal and a new high score. I mined four different times.

Larry got on the weekly challenge page and he thinks next week challenge will be Die Hard. He downloaded the game and installed it in both 2D and VR. Then he played it a couple of times to make sure it worked. I'll wait until Sunday to play the game. 

I worked on my diamond painting, which is the horse.

I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly A2 dance at 6:30 for an hour. She called five tips to 9 participants. I had a rough hour of dancing I kept going the wrong way or didn't complete the move. Ett didn't do any cueing. But I had a fun time.

After the dance we watched a couple of episodes of Elementary. Then I watched the first Star Wars movie, which was Star Wars. Afterwards I watched a couple of episodes of Everwood. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
