Saturday 1-25-25 Dancing with Brad Caldwell, Mini Pinball Project & More

 

Awesome Day

We had an overcast day. The morning temperature was 36 degrees and the high was 56 degrees.

Sunday, 1/19/25 started a new weekly challenge in pinball. This week's game is Tron. I have played this game before and wasn't impressed so Larry took it off the machine. Now that it's my challenge this week he reloaded the game on the pinball cabinet in both 2D and VR. Once it was installed Larry played it to make sure, that everything worked in the game. I played five pinball games, which were Tron, Spider-Man, Ted & Red's Road Show, Theatre of Magic and Mustang. My high score in Tron was 84,184,100, this put me in 20th place out of 60 participants. Larry changed the number of balls in Spider-Man from 3 balls to 5. While playing Ted & Red's Road Show I got multi-ball. I hadn't done this in a long time. I didn't enter my initials on the other games I played but I had a fun time.

Larry spent most of the day working on the mini pinball cabinet. He started putting it back together. It is hard to imagine how many pieces go into this small cabinet. He's taking his time so it will probably take three days to completer the assembly.

I worked on my diamond painting of the Fairy.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 10 games (5 Free Cell and 5 Tri Peaks). It took me 43 minutes and 25 seconds, which put me in 23rd place in my group. Afterwards I moved onto playing Angry Birds.

I worked out on the Wii Fit for a half hour and a half hour with the Synth Riders. 

I played Asteroid Outpost for 45 minutes on Bounce Arcade. It was only one game. While playing the game I got a silver trophy and mined the asteroids six times. I started the Cryo-Rotors twice, Munitions Module twice and Fusion Module twice. I was successful on mining the asteroids once and played a multi-ball for the first time. I'm in 73rd place globally in Asteroid Outpost.

We watched some YouTube videos.

In the evening we went to Georgetown to square dance with Brad Caldwell for his Plus U dance. We had three squares plus six people sitting out. We had a lot of fun.

On the way home we stopped by Walmart to pick up a few items. As we were entering into the store they had an announcement on the intercom saying the store was closing in an hour (11). The announcement also said if you weren't in line by 11:00 to check out they wouldn't check you out. 

 

We got home at 10:30. Larry read his e-mail. I did 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group. I watched Rambo III on Paramount +.
