Saturday 12-28-24 Dancing to Brad Caldwell, Pinball Cabinet, Diamond Painting & Games

 

Morning Showers

We had morning showers. They were gone by 11:00 but the clouds stayed around. Our Alexa device notified us that there was a national weather service advisory. It put us on tornado watch until 5:00 pm. There was a little breeze but no tornadoes. I can't believe that it's the end of December and we're getting high temperatures in mid 70s to the low 80s.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Klondike Mini of 5 games. It took me 10 minutes and 31 seconds, which put me in 21st place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds 2 and Angry Birds and Friends.

Early this week Larry replaced my the six diamond paintings hanging on the wall with some newer ones. I didn't frame any of the diamond paintings and he noticed that the new ones were starting to curling in on the upper corners. Today he cut a strip of plastic for each of them and hot glued the strips to the top back of the paintings. They came out excellent.

Larry spent the afternoon making labels on his Cameo for the mini pinball cabinet buttons.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for 45 minutes. I worked out to four songs and each one twice. The songs were Carry On, Void-walkers, I'll Fight Back and Showdown.

I played Pirate's Plunder on Bounce Arcade three times. I ended up getting a bronze metal and fought my enemy twice and beat the enemy once and got a skull. I'm learning more about the game every time I play it.

Prate's Plunder final score

I played four different pinball games, Tales of The Arabian Nights, Deadpool, Star Trek the Next Generation and The Nightmare before Christmas. While playing Tales of the Arabian Nights I collected six of seven jewels. Once you get all seven jewels you have to fight the genie to rescue the princess. While playing Star Trek I entered my initials as high score #4. Great afternoon of playing pinball.

I worked on my diamond painting the horse.

In the evening we went to Georgetown to dance with Brad Caldwell. He had his monthly PLUS U dance. It started at 7:00 and finished at 9:00. Before the dance he has a caller workshop, callers from all over the area come. Today Brad called two hours to two squares plus two extra couples. He called eight tips. We had a super time dancing to Brad and with friends.

We got home a little before 10:00 and Larry checked his e-mail. Then he went to bed. I watched Star Wars Episode V, which was Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Afterward I watched a couple of episodes of Everwood. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
