Christmas shopping

It's almost Christmas (three days) are you finished with your shopping ?

When we built this house the only rooms Larry did not wire for Ethernet was the bathrooms and the dining room. He simply thought those rooms would never need it. Over the last few years he has used the dining room table while working on computers, Raspberry Pi jukeboxes and now the mini pinball machine. To hook them up to Ethernet he has been stringing a cable all the way through the kitchen to the dining room. Today he decided to fix that. He added a Ethernet jack at the corner of the dining room. To do this he ran a cable through and over the kitchen cabinets coming out right above refrigerator which is next to the dining room. He still needs a cable but now it's not running through the kitchen. This took a good part of the day.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event" Two Games Tango Mini of 10 games (5 Spider and 5 Free Cell). It took me 1 hour, 21 minutes and 6 seconds, which put me in 18th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked on the diamond painting (horse) in between playing games.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for 45 minutes.

 

  Working out

I played with Bounce Arcade for about an hour, which was the Monster Manor and Gunpowder Gulch. While playing both games I got a new high score and bronze metal. When playing Monster Manor I lite up the manor, fought the ghost, played two Ecto Balls and stunned the manor. When playing Gunpowder Gulch I cracked the safe. I had a great time.

I played pinball five different games of pinball. I did last week's challenge Theatre of Magic before it went away and got a new high score of 1,218,687,320, which put me in 26th place out of 65 participants. I played the new weekly challenge, which is The Nightmare Before Christmas. We already have the game so Larry changed the number of balls from five to three for the challenge. My first high score in The Night Before Christmas was 16,944,150, which put in 9th place in the group. He changed the balls back from three balls back to five balls in Theatre of Magic. The other three games were Cirqus Voltaire, Monster Bash and Iron Man. When I played Cirqus Voltaire I played two players and both of them I joined the cirqus. The other two games I did ok.

For dinner we tried something new, El Monterey Beef and Bean Chimichangas. I cooked them in the air fryer and they came very crispy and tasted good.
