Happy Boxing Day
What is boxing day? It is the day after Christmas. It was once a day to donate gifts to those in need but it has evolved to become a part of Christmas celebration. Many people choose to shop for deals. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in several Commonwealth nations. The bank holiday or public holiday may take place on the 27th or 28th so, that it falls on a week day. Boxing Day is concurrent with the Christian festival Saint Stephen's Day. We celebrated it by staying at home.
Today's weather was morning showers and the rest of the day the clouds stayed around. It was high humidity of 66% and the high of 69 degrees at our house.

Larry spent the day working on the mini pinball machine. He worked on the sound in the games. He wanted to make sure the electronics he had installed worked correctly with the installed games. It will take some time because he has to play and work on the games one at a time. He's having a lot of fun doing so.
While Larry worked on the pinball cabinet I played game.
Before going to bed I did the Daily Challenges in Solitaire and Mahjong. The event today was Event: Easy Street Mini of 5 games. It took me 10 minutes and 48 seconds, which put me in 16th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.
I worked out with the Synth Riders for 45 minutes. I worked out with four different songs. I played each song three times.
I played Monster Manor twice and Gunpowder Gulch two times. While playing Gunpowder Gulch I did two different multiball (Saloon and Jailhouse Breakout), shots the barrels twice, I cracked the safe and got a silver metal high score. In order to play the Saloon multiball, you had to light up the saloon sign. The Jailhouse Breakout you have to put two balls in jail. While playing Monster Manor I lite up the manor, fought the ghost, I got the skeleton key played two Ecto Balls and stunned the manor. I got a new high score and got a bronze metal. I had a great day of playing bounce arcade.
