Wednesday 5-28-25 Music Project, Jukebox Project, Dancing, Games & Rain

 

Having fun with friends

 

We had a great day. It started out with the temperature of 74 degrees and ended up with the high of 82 at noon. It was overcast most of the day. The rain came in later afternoon and hung around for a couple of hours. It rained hard.

 

Rainy afternoon

Larry started the day out finishing up working on the music project for the jukebox. He went though 900 rock and roll songs from the 50's and 60's, he ended up keeping a bit over 600 of them. Now the jukebox that sits in the living room has a lot more songs on it. We use this jukebox most every day. Of course the jukebox also has 50's & 60's country music, all our CD's and can stream internet radio. Lot of choices. Thank you, honey.

Larry continued working on preparing the Rowe jukebox for painting. 

I attended two virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour. DI and Terry took turns calling the five tips to 10 participants. Today we had fun while dancing each tip: 1) When ever we got home or Di calls wave we would wave, 2) The song had smile in it so when ever it said smile we would smile and Di had a smiling face on a balloon, 3) The song had thinking in it so we posed as the thinker, 4) The song was called Wild About so when we got home we went wild and 5) Shillelagh On Your Side, where  some of the dancers danced with their shillelagh including Di. I had a great time dancing with friends.

Second was Dave Eno's Weekly C1/A2 at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Dave Hutchinson showed up because his club wasn't meeting for awhile. He joined Karin Rabe, Greg Moore and Dave Eno in calling the dance. The format was three tips of C1, three tips of A2 and two trivia questions. Karin and Greg called the first tip in each session, the two Daves called the second tip together in each session and all four callers called the third tip together in each session. During both sessions we had 11 participants. I had another fun evening dancing with friends.

 

Participants in the dance

While I danced Larry worked on his projects.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Medium Mayhem of 27 games. It took me 1 hour, 27 minutes and 42 seconds, which put me in 15th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked out with my Wii Fit for a half hour.

I played seven games of pinball. They were Big Bang Bar, Indianapolis 500, JP Space Cadet, The Lord of the Rings, Dead Pool, The Big Lebowski and Star Trek the Next Generation. While playing JP Space Cadet I came in as high score #4 and the Big Lebowski I came in as high score #1.
