Saturday 6-14-25 Shelving Project, Games & Having Fun

 

Hot humid day

 

We had another hot humid day with the high of 91 degrees and the humidity was 60%.

We started the day by going to town to pickup a few items for the shelving project. First stop was The Home Depot to return four long shelve brackets, Larry decided he wants shorter brackets. They didn't have anything shorter. Larry currently has a Home Depot cardboard box where he stores electronic cables. The box is falling apart so decided to replace it with a plastic container. While in The Home Depot we bought one. We went to Lowe's, they had the shorter brackets. 

Back at home we went to work on the shelving project. Larry decided to make three shelves out of scrap plywood he has. He cut them to size using his table saw and miter saw. I helped him by holding the boards while he moved them through the saw. After they were cut we sanded them down to prepare them for the staining. When the sanding was done we took a break and had lunch. After lunch Larry stained the boards. We called it a day to let the boards dry.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Easy Street of 30 games. It took me 1 hour, 14 minutes and 28 seconds, which put me in 20th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I continued working on my diamond painting of a tree. 

I played three games of Gunpowder Gulch on Bounce Arcade. I didn't play well but during the third game I earned a silver trophy. I earned an extra ball, cracked the safe and played a couple multiballs (jail breakout and cracked the safe).

Larry played five games on the mini pinball cabinet. It had been a few weeks since we used it. He played Three Angels, Metallica, James Bond 60th Anniversary, No Fear and Creature From The Black Lagoon. While playing Creature From The Black Lagoon Larry became Grand Champion.

After he finished playing pinball on the mini cabinet I played the same games on the mini cabinet. Then I moved over to the big cabinet and played the weekly challenge of Cirqus Voltaire and Big Bang Bar. Today I didn't get on the board but had a time playing pinball.

In the evening we watched Mission Impossible 3 out of our movies collection. When Larry went to bed I watched Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp out of our movies collection. I ended up doing 13,500 steps.
