Wednesday 3-19-25 Dance Day, Minnie Project, Mowing & Games

 

Awesome Day

 

We had a strong wind out of the north, this kept the temperature cool with the high of 75 degrees. It was a gorgeous day with blue skies and no clouds.

We started the day off by going to Ace Hardware and filling the propane tank on the Minnie. It was not low but we like to start off full. We also stopped and filled the gas tank.

Larry spent most of the day resealing the seams around the windows of the Minnie. As Larry waxes the Minnie he inspects the seams, he only found one small area that needed the be resealed, he did notice the windows should be resealed. He ordered the sealant from Amazon and it came in yesterday. He started the project this morning and finished in the afternoon. It took him a few hours. First he removed all the old sealant and cleaned around the area. Then he put fresh sealant in the seams. Now the sealant need to setup for al least 24 hours. Larry kept busy once again.

 Afterwards he mowed the frontyard and edged around the driveway.

While Larry kept busy I attended three virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 11:00 for an hour. Ett covered their dance. She called five tips to five participants. Once again she helped dancers get in the right place by telling them, where to go. We are used to having Di and Terry dancing with us and cueing so Ett was a little challenging because she just calls. I had a fun time dancing to Ett and a few other dancers.

Second was Ett McAtee's Weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. Ett called five tips to sixteen participants. We mainly just danced. She did repeat some sequences we were having trouble with. I always struggle a bit because I get confused on where my phantoms are. This was Ett's last dance for a few weeks because she is going on a Holiday. She and Linda are going to Germany to call C3A dance in the weekend. Then they're going on a Viking Cruise. I had a great 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. Tonight it was a St. Patrick Day dance. The format was three tips of C1 to nine participants, three tips of A2 to eleven participants and two trivia question in between each A2 tip. Dave, Karin and Greg called the dance with Irish music. I had a fun time dancing with friends and to Dave, Karin and Greg.

When I wasn't dancing I played games. I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Spider Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 55 minutes and 57 seconds, which put me in 8th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I played three games of pinball, which were Big Buck Hunter Pro, Fish Tales and Family Guy. While playing Big Buck Hunter Pro I became high score #2. I didn't get a new high score in Family Guy. So far this week I'm in 21st place out of 30 participants.

During the last dance Larry played with a LED matrix. He continues playing with the lights that react to sound.

After the last dance we watched Ghostlight on Amazon. It was a good movie even though it was slow. It was about the healing process for a family dealing with a death of a teenage boy. Afterwards I watched Top Gun from our movies collection. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th place in my group.
