Monday 5-26-25 Jukebox Project, Games & Rain

 

Happy Monday

 

We had a great Monday with a high of 81 degrees. In the evening around 8:00 the rain came in with wind. It rained hard. The National Weather Service notified us that there was a severe weather watch. The rain stayed around until midnight.

Larry started the day out by working on the jukebox. Today he worked on preparing it for painting. He made a piece to cover up a opening that was originally used for the selector wheel. He glued the piece in place and then used bondo to fill in the voids. He spent most of the day prepping the jukebox to get painted.

 

Jukebox Project

 

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 10 minutes and 16 seconds, which put me in 14th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

In the afternoon I worked out with Synth Riders for 45 minutes using five songs from the Special Music List. They were Flight of the Bumblebee, Got You, Hex, Carol of the Bells and Shangri-La-La-La. The Flight of the Bumblebee was a new song. It was 2:01 minutes long and very hard because you can't choose how fast to go. I did this song four different times. Got You is another new song and I did the song twice, it was 3:41 minutes. Hex, Carol of the Bells and Shangri-La-La-La I did twice. Hex was for 3:41 minutes, Carol of the Bells was for 1:56 and Shangri-La-La-La was for 2:34 minutes. I had a fun time. 

I played Arcade Bounce for a half hour. I played Gunpowder Gulch once and earned a silver trophy. I was successful in completing two events, which were the Gun Fight and Cracked the Safe. I tried the barrel event twice and was unsuccessful. I did two multiballs, which were cracked the safe and jail breakout. I played Monster Manor twice and earned a bronze metal both times. The second game was the best game. I tried to stun the manor twice and failed and I completed the banister. I had fun.

While playing Nightmare Before Christmas I became high score #1, Larry is still Grand Champion. In White Water I got high score #4.

In the evening we finished watching Elementary. Then we started watching a series on Amazon called Genius. It was on for four seasons and each season is a biographical story about a genius. First season is about Albert Einstein with 10 episodes. Second season is about Pablo Picasso. Third season is about Aretha Franklin. Fourth season is about Martin Luther Jr. and Malcolm X. After Larry went to bed I watched the last episode of the eleventh season of The Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn. Then I watched Harvey starring James Stewart (1950). I ended up doing 13,000 steps.
