Thursday 1-2-25 Workout, Games, Mini Pinball Cabinet & More

 

Happy January

A cold front came in today. We woke up to 40 degrees and the high was 60 degrees. It was overcast and a little nippy. I can't complain, at least we don't have snow. 

We went to Mosaic Grill for lunch, they specialize in Mediterranean food. It is right next to the UPS Store. A few years ago Jersey Mike's sandwich shop was in the space, when they left Mosaic Grill took over. It is a small space but must work well for them. The hostess hands you a menu and tells you to pick a table, when you are ready to order you walk back up to the hostess, place your order and pay your bill. Always seems funny when you pay in advance and the systems asks if you want to leave a tip, how would you know, at that point there has been no service. We split an order of Chicken Kabobs, they were served on a bed of rice. They used real plates and silverware. The food was good. We didn't find anything exciting or special about the place. However, they get terrific reviews and have been there for a few years so lots of folks are impressed.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The two day celebration of Solitaire ended today. I completed the Event: Solitaire Celebrates of 30 games. It took me 5 hours, 15 minutes and 44 seconds, which put me in 5th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds. 

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. When I worked out using Gold's Gym I worked out with Left and Right Step Combo and Weaving Combo. Synth Riders I worked out with four different songs twice.

I played Pirate's Plunder twice and got a Bronze Trophy in both games. I fought my enemy on the seas. I defeated my enemy in the second game and fought them a second time. I had a lot of fun.

Larry started tearing down the mini pinball cabinet to do the finishing touches on it. It runs great and he is now ready to complete the painting and putting on the decals. He thinks it may take him a week or two. As he is tearing down the cabinet he's marking the parts and taking pictures to make sure he puts it back the same way it is now.

I worked on the horse diamond painting. I 'm almost done. 

In the evening we watched The Tomorrow Man on TUBI starring John Lithgow and Blythe Danner. Then we watched an episode of Elementary. After Larry went to bed I finished watching the third season of Everwood. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
