Tuesday 1-3-24 Dancing, Pinball Project, Housework & More

 

We had a gorgeous day with sunshine and the temperature was very mild. The high was 65 degrees. 

Yesterday, Larry did his monthly projects, putting bleach in septic and backed up the computer.  

Today he spent the day working on the mini pinball cabinet. He still working on how to wire the machine and where to put the electronics. He received a new mini shaker and installed it. It worked but he didn't like the performance. It didn't shake as hard as he wanted. He uninstalled it and ordered one that is a little stronger. He installed a couple of plugins for cables. The more stuff he puts in the cabinet the more changes he'll make. He's having fun.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 50 minutes and 37 seconds, which put me in 16th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

Larry took an hour off of his project to dance with me at 10:00. It was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly A2 dance. They took turns calling five tips to 14 participants. The third tip Di worked on a couple of moves the dancers requested. They were Facing Recycle/Reverse Recycle and Left/Right Turn and Deal from waves. It's December so Di and Terry wore their Christmas outfits. Di and Terry did an excellent job of calling. We had a super time dancing with friends.

After lunch Larry went back to his working on his project and I did housework. It took me longer (2 hours) than usual because I wiped down the baseboards.

I played seven games of pinball. I did the weekly challenge of Medieval Madness, Creature From The Black Lagoon, Godzilla, Jurassic Park, Superman and the Justice League, Avatar and Theatre of Magic. I got the #7 high score in Godzilla and #4 high score in Jurassic Park.

In the evening we watched a couple of episodes of Elementary. Then I watched Top Gun: Maverick. Afterwards I started to watch the first season of Everwood on Freevee. It's about a a brain surgeon from Manhattan, who moves his family to a small town Everwood in Colorado when his wife dies in an auto accident. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
