Saturday 1-4-25 Dancing to Brad & Scott, Workout, Mini Cabinet & Games

 

Awesome Day

We had an awesome day with the high of 70 degrees.

Larry spent the day working on his mini pinball cabinet. He painted the inside of the cabinet.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Easy Street of 30 games. It took me 1 hour, 7 minutes and 45 seconds, which put me in 12th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds 2 and Angry Birds and Friends. 

I worked on my diamond painting of the Tiger.

I worked out with the Wii Fit for a half hour, Gold's Gym for a half hour and Synth Riders for a half hour.

Working Out

I had an exciting day playing in bounce arcade. I played Gunpowder Gulch three times and got a bronze trophy twice. I played Asteroid Outpost twice and got a bronze trophy both times. While playing the both games I mined the asteroids. During the first game I succeeded in mining one time and to play the game you need to succeed four times. The exciting thing was this was the first time I was successful.   

I played the weekly challenge pinball game Die Hard. I got a new high score of 28,725,820, which moved me into 29th place out of 38 participants.

 

Die Hard

 

In the evening went to Georgetown to celebrate the New Year with the Shirts & Skirts. It also was a special dance for Brad Caldwell, he was inducted into the Texas Callers Hall of Fame. They had a great turnout, 19 squares. There were also lots of people sitting out, lots of them were friends and family that no longer dance. Brad was surprised, he didn't know this was going on. The club invited Scott Bennett, a caller out of Oklahoma to come and call the dance with Brad. Brad has been calling for 37 years and tonight was his 37th anniversary of calling. Lucy and Jerry Pate cued the round dancing tips. The format was 6-6:30 Pre-rounds, 6:30-9:00 Mainstream and two tips of Plus 9:00-9:30. In between the Mainstream tips they had two tips of round dancing. They had a lot of food. After the first tip they took a break, where Brad was inducted into the Texas Callers Hall of Fame. They gave him a pin and a plaque. They had a slide shower about Brad and his calling for the last 37 years. We saw dancers we hadn't seen since before COVID. We danced all the square dancing tips. We had a super time.

On the way home we stopped and filled the car with gas. We got home at 10:45. I finished my steps, which was 18,000 steps. This put me in 4th place in my group. I watched a few episodes of Everwood.
