Thursday 3-20-25 Trip Preparation Continues & Games

 

Beautiful Day

 

We had a beautiful day with a lot of sunshine and the high of 68 degrees. There was a breeze so it was a little cold.

We started the day by going in town to go grocery shopping for our Spring Trip. We shopped at four different stores. First stop was Dollar Tree to buy snacks. Second was Aldi to buy barbecued pulled pork. While there we picked up a Calzone and chips. Third was HEB to buy pork sausage and other meats. Fourth was Walmart to finish up the shopping. 

 

Grocery shopping

 

Before going to Walmart we stopped at the UPS Store to pickup our mail and tell them we would be away. A gentleman was going next door to get his haircut. He stopped and helped a gentleman with his packages being mailed out at the UPS Store. He held the door open for other people. Then he went next door. What a nice guy.

When we got home we unloaded the truck. Then I worked on emptying the bags and putting things away. Larry put some of the bags that were going into the Minnie on a table in the garage. After putting things away we had lunch.

After lunch we went outside to do more Spring Trip preparation. I put the groceries for the trip in the Minnie. Larry washed the motorcycle. Then we put the motorcycle carrier on the back of the Minnie and Larry washed it. Then we checked out the lights to make sure they work correctly. It wasn't too windy so Larry took the motorcycle for a ride. While doing this he filled it up with gas. Now it's ready for the Spring Trip, we just need to load it on the carrier.

After calling it a day Larry went back to playing with the LOAMLIN RGB LED Matrix. He has watched YouTube videos and done some research on the computer on how to get the matrix to do different functions. Today he set it up to continually scroll a message. The message said "Hi Ruthy, I Love You ! ! !. Below are pictures, it looks much better in person.

 

Hi

 

Ruthy 

 

I

 

 

Love

 

 

 You

 

Exclamation points

 

I played games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Medium Mayhem Mini of 15 games. It took me 58 minutes and 40 seconds, which put me in 21st place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

 

I ended playing seven games of pinball. They were X-Men, Medieval Madness, The Godfather, Theatre of Magic, The Flintstones, World Joker Poker and Family Guy. I didn't get on the board in the games but had fun.

We watched our YouTube videos we follow.

 

In the evening we watched a movie on Amazon called Beyond The Sea. The movie was a musical drama based on Bobby Darin's life starring Kevin Spacey as Bobby Darin. He co-wrote the movie. The movie also starred Kate Bosworth, John Goodman, Bob Hoskins and others. It was a very good movie. When Larry went to bed I watched Maverick out of our movies collection. I watched episode 9 of season 12th of Father Brown, episode 7 of the 3rd season of Reacher I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
