Wednesday 1-8-25 Virtual Dancing Day, Projects, Diamond Painting & More

 

Cold Front

We had another cold day with the high of 40 degrees.

I started the day out by working on The Ice Cream Girl diamond painting. I finished it in a total of two hours. After finishing it I put the Ice Cream Girl in it's frame and put it on the desk. It came out very cute and colorful. I'll start on another painting tomorrow. This one is called a Fairy. It will take much longer. I had fun doing the Fairy diamond painting.

Larry installed a new pinball game, Scooby Doo. He installed it in both 2D and VR. The VR room is outstanding. It has a graveyard, haunted house and the van from the cartoon of Scooby Doo. As you play the game a ghost chases the characters from Scooby Doo. There is a skull hanging from the tree and it moves and it's eyes light up. The van lights turn on while you play. You have to be careful because the VR room can distract you from playing. After Larry installed the game he played it.

Larry also played with a new router that he will use for the mini pinball machine.

I attended three virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour. The theme of the dance was Holiday. During the dance some of the dancers wore summer hats. Dawn wore a different hat every tip. Di and Terry were butterflies. Di and Terry took turns calling five tips to 12 participants. I had a great time dancing to Di and Terry and with friends.

Second was Ett McAtee's Weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. Ett called four tips to 19 participants. We just danced and visited with each other in between tips. I had a fun time dancing with friends.

Third was Dave Eno's Weekly C1/A2 at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Karin Rabe and Greg Moore helped call the dance. The format was three tips of C1, three tips of A2 and two Trivia questions in between the A2 tips. During the C1 tips we had 8 participants and A2 tips had 11 participants. Brian showed up with his wife to dance A2. They hadn't been on Zoom for a long time because they are busy doing this and that on Wednesday evenings. I had a great time dancing with friends and to Karin, Greg and Dave.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me it took me one hour, 5 minutes and 8 seconds, which put me 21st in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.  

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

Working out

I played five games of pinball. They were Scooby Doo, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Theatre of Magic, No Fear and Star Trek the Next Generation. I didn't get on the board but I had fun playing pinball.

After my last dance we watched Elementary. When Larry went to bed I watched The X-Files. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 3rd place in my group.
