Monday 11-24-25 Home Project, Dancing with Di, Working Out & More

 

Rain and Humid

 

We had rain on and off all day. At times it was very hard. We woke up to 64 degrees and it got up to 70 degrees with 88% humidity. I won't complain, we need the rain. We spent the day hanging around the house.The rain went away around 4:00.

Larry gets up at 6:00 and checks his e-mail and reads the groups he follows on the internet.. Today he also straightened up his workroom and finished the front door camera installation.

I got up a little early to make more apple empanadas for breakfast. By preparing the empanadas the night before I think they come out flakier.

At 9:00 Larry and I attended Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly C1 dance, which was for an hour. Di called five tips to 11 participants. Terry danced with Di so it helps the dancers get in the right place. Larry danced four of the tips with me. We had a great time dancing with friends and to Di's calling.

Larry spent part of the day working with a new computer. He has been talking about installing Home Assistance for the house for awhile now. At this time we have Alexa devices controlling a lot of things in the house, such as: opening and closing the blinds in the living and dining rooms, set timers, turning on and off the television, turning on and off lights throughout the house and many more things. He wanted to play with something that doesn't rely on Amazon. He decided to give Home Assistance a try. He bought a mini computer for it. It arrived yesterday so he played with it today. He got Home Assistance installed an the computer. Next step for him is to play with it and set it up to work with our devices. It's going to take awhile but he's not in any hurry.

 I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed last night. I also played 8 Tri Peaks and 8 Pyramid games to reset doubling my bonus points everytime I play Solitaire. The event was Event: Two Game Tango of 20 games (10 Pyramid and 10 Tri Peaks). It took me 1 hour, 9 minutes and 39 seconds, which put me in 15th place in my group. I played Angry Birds and Friends and Angry Birds 2. 

I worked out using Synth Riders for 45 minutes. I used four songs, which were The Curse (3:25), Silver Stallion (3:27), The End Of The Night (3:56) and Pursuit (3:49). I got 7 outstanding scores and one new high score. While working out to The End Of The Night I missed 2 balls so I earned a perfect instead of outstanding. I had a great workout.

I played three games of Gunpowder Gulch on Bounce Arcade before earning a trophy. The trophy I earned was a silver trophy. I played three events, which were gunfight, barrel barrage and quick drawl twice. I was successful in the gunfight event. I played two multiballs, which were jailhouse brake and saloon. I earned an extra ball.

I played seven games of pinball, which were, Slimer! Ghost-busters, JP Space Cadet, Star Wars Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, Road Show, Creature From The Black Lagoon and Queen. While playing Slimer! Ghost-Busters I got a new high score but didn't move up in the group, I'm 14th out of 17 participates. The other games I didn't get on the board but I still played very well.

In the evening we watched the seventh Mission Impossible movie called Mission Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One. When Larry went to bed I watched You Got Mail and the first Sonic movie, which was Sonic the Hedgehog. All three movies were from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 3,000 steps.
