Sunday 12-1-24 December Begins, Pinball Machine, Crafting & New Games

First day of December

We had a super Sunday. The temperature was very nice with the low of 42 degrees and it got up to 69 degrees.

Larry worked on his mini pinball machine most of the day. Today he worked on wiring the on and off button and switch. He got the machine to turn on. Once he got it to work he asked me to play a game to make sure everything worked correctly. So I played Attack From Mars he had a sound problem, when he unplugged the machine the sound wouldn't turn on when he plugged it back in. He found out it was Pinup Popper. This program runs the menu bar that controls the selection of games. Once he figured it out he fixed it. He installed a mini bass shaker, something was loose inside of it and it did not work. He used the one out of the pinball cabinet we play on and it works great. He went on Amazon and printed a return slip and ordered another one. It should be in a couple of days. Then he'll ship the broken one back to the vendor. He had a super time playing Attack From Mars on the mini cabinet. It has a long ways to go but it plays and looks great so far.

The master bath toilet has been making a noise. Larry figured out it was the flapper. He had purchased these before via Amazon so he ordered the same ones again. Even though it was suppose to be exactly the same the new one was a bit larger and did not work correctly. Larry was able to trim it down, it now works fine. Now there is no noise.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 6 games (3 Spider and 3 Pyramid). It took me 16 minutes and 57 seconds, which put me in 15th place in my group. Then I played some Angry Birds.

First thing in the morning Larry installed an upgraded VR version of Lord of the Rings. Once he did this he played the game. The VR room was totally redone and looks great. I played the game a couple of times. Below are pictures of the VR room.

I worked on the Tree of Life diamond painting.

I took a nap. When I woke up I worked out with the Synth Riders for a half hour. 

Later on I played some pinball. Today was a beginning of a new weekly challenge, which is Medieval Madness. We already have the game so Larry changed the balls from five balls to three balls. He changed the balls from three to five balls on last week challenge of Jurassic Park. I played Jurassic Park to get a new high score for the week but failed. My first high score of Medieval Madness was 10,127,290. I also played Maverick and World Joker Poker.

In the evening we watched Wonka, which is a 2023 movie about Willy Wonka's early years. It stars Timothee Chalamet as Willy Wonka. It was good. Then I watched Aladdin and Shrek 2 out of our movies collection. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 3rd place in my group for the week with 125,225 steps.
