Sunday 3-2-25 Sundancers Plus Graduation, Jukebox & New Pinball Challenge

 

Happy Sunday

 

We had a windy day with the high in the high 70s. 

Larry continued working on the jukebox. Since he is putting in a larger monitor the bezel he painted on the glass was too small. He had to use a razor and scrape off all the old paint. He then had to mask it off for the new monitor. He sprayed painted it black. due to the wind he put cardboard down on the south side of the front of the house where it would be better protected. After he finished painting the glass he left it outside to cure in the sun. It came out great.

Larry ordered another 12.3 touchscreen monitor from Amazon. It's has the exact same model number as the one he put in the red Rock Ola, but it is apparently a new version. The company modified the monitor a little bit. The glass front of the monitor goes all the way to the edge. They modified the mounting holes so you should not be able to put the screws in too deep. They also used shorter buttons. The modifications made it look nice and you can't accidentally short the monitor out. Larry played with the two monitors side by side, both look and work great. 

I did the Daily Challenge of Solitaire and Mahjong. Today's event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 10 games (5 Pyramid and 5 Tri Peaks). It took me 55 minutes and 10 seconds, which put me in 28th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked out on my Wii Fit for 45 minutes. I played Bounce Arcade. I played two games of Monster Manor, two games of Gunpowder Gulch and one game of Pirate's Plunger. While playing Monster Manor I earned a bronze trophy both times and fought the ghosts. The first game I tried to stun the manor and failed. The second game I hit the clock three times and fought the Jack-O-Lanterns. While playing Gunpowder Gulch I earned a bronze trophy during the second game. I fought the deputies twice and failed and cracked the safe. I played the safe multiball and the jailhouse break multiball. While playing Pirate's Plunder I earned a silver trophy. I fought my enemies twice and defeated them. I earned 50,000 points twice for Jolly Roger by hitting the skull on the flag five times. I fought the skulls. I had fun playing the five games on Bounce Arcade.

I played five games of pinball. I played last weeks challenge of Robocop to get a new high score before the challenge was over at 1:00. I failed to do so. I came in 48th place out of 70 participants. The new challenge for this week is Transporter. Larry downloaded the game and installed it on the pinball cabinet in both 2D and VR. I didn't get a chance to play it but I will tomorrow. The other games I played were Willy Wonka, Star Wars, Fun House and The Big Lebowski. While playing The Big Lebowski I entered my initials as high score #4.

In the evening went to Sun City to attend their Plus Graduation Dance. Gary Bible called to three squares of dancers and had 22 graduates (three of them weren't there). Gary did a great job of dancing. We had to dance every tip because there was only enough for three squares and no extra people. We hadn't seen Gary in three weeks because he had other obligations. We helped the new dancers when they needed the help. We had a great time dancing to Gary.

The dance was from 6:00 to 7:45 and free. We were home by 8:45. When we got home we watched some YouTube videos. When Larry went to bed I started watching the second season of Sherwood. I ended up doing 18,500 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group fro the week with 127,075 steps.
