Sunday 10-26-25 New Challenge, Dancing with Loren & More

 

Just having fun

 

We had a beautiful fall day with the high of 78 degrees.

We didn't have anything on the agenda so we just hung around the house. 

Larry played with the lithium battery. He could not find anything wrong with it. He discharged the battery completely and charged it back up.

I spent a lot of the day continuing reading Mephisto Waltz by Frank Tallis.

Today was the beginning of a new week which means I get a new weekly challenge in pinball. This week's challenge is Indianapolis 500. We already have it so Larry just had to change the number of balls from 5 to 3. The new challenge starts at 2:00 so I played last week's challenge of Gillian's Island to get a new high score. I failed so my final high score was 19,469,980, which put me in 52nd place out of 72 participants. I played Indianapolis 500 a few time and my first high score was 251,647,230. It was approved so I currently 7th place out of 11 participants.

At 1:00 I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly C Series dance for an hour. This week Loren Smith covered for her and he called C1. I danced by myself. Loren called four tips to 6 participants. He worked on Motivate (A2 move) and Wheel Fan Thru during the third tip because some dancers were having problems. I had a great time dancing to Loren and with friends.

 

Get a partner and dance

After the dance I played six more pinball games, which were Metallica, The Godfather, Dr. No, Star Trek the Next Generation, Jaws and Willow. While playing Jaws I was high score #2 and Willow I was high score #1. I had fun playing pinball.

I played one game of Asteroid Outpost on Bounce Arcade. I played for a half hour and earned a silver trophy. I mined the asteroids five times and was successful two times. I played one multiball and earned a new ball. I had a great game.

I played the Solitaire Daily Event, which was Event: Easy Street of 30 games. It took me 52 minutes and 53 seconds, which put me in 8th place in my group.

While I played games Larry watched some YouTube videos.

In the evening we finished watching the fourth season of Vienna Blood on PBS. Then we started watching The Gold, which is based on a true story about one of the largest robberies in British history. The Gold stars Hugh Bonneville. When Larry went to bed I watched another Diane Keaton movie on Amazon, which was Crimes of the Heart. It stars Diane Keaton, Jessica Lane and Sissy Spacek. It was about three sisters trying to cope after their mother committed suicide. Afterwards I watched Star Trek out of our movies collection. I ended up doing 6,000 steps.
