Saturday 11-8-25 Earnart Swap Meet, Workout & Games

 

Sunny Day

 

We had a beautiful day with a lot of sunshine. The low was 51 degrees and the high was 83 degrees. It was a little hot for this time of year but a front is suppose to come in late tonight.

We started the day out by going to Waco, which is about 42 miles away. Waco was having the Earhart 4th Annual Productions Auto Swap Meet. We usually don't buy anything but Larry likes walking through them to see what folks have to sell. This swap meet took place yesterday and today from 7 am to 5 pm. It was held at the McLane Stadium on Baylor Campus. We got there about 9:00 and was finished by 10:00. It wasn't as big as we thought it would be. The swap meet took place in the parking lot. The swap meet at the Bell Expo Center is bigger. It takes place in one of the livestock building and the parking lot. We saw a few vehicles for sale and a lot of vendors with old parts for your vehicles and tools and a couple of vendors had clothing and toys. The vendors were friendly, a lot of them go to other swap meets around the country. There were a couple of food vendors. We had a fun time walking around.

On the way home we stopped at Chicken Salad Chick for lunch. We shared a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant roll and a pasta salad. How it works is you choose what chicken salad you want, what you want it on croissant, type of bread and roll, pickle and one side and a cookie. We decided to have the Classic Carol on a croissant and the pasta salad. The service was excellent and the server was friendly. As we were walking out our server took our basket. The parking is very small but we had a great experience.

 

   

Our lunch

 I worked out with Synth Riders on my VR headset for a half hour to four different songs twice. The songs were The Wild (3 minutes and 12 seconds), Hypothermia (4 minutes and 5 seconds), Stay (3 minutes and 9 seconds) and Raw (4 minutes and 29 seconds). I earned 7 new high score out 8 and was Outstanding three times. I had a great workout.

I played two games of Monster Manor on Bounce Arcade. I earned a bronze trophy and a silver trophy. The silver trophy was the second game. While playing the game I woke the manor twice and stunned the manor once. I hit the banister enough times to earn points for Banister Buster, I played the spider multiball for the first time by blowing up the spider webs. I hit the clock three times to play with the Jack-O-Lantern. I played it for 15 minutes and had fun.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 6 games (3 Free Cell and 3 Tri Peaks). IT took me 14 minutes and 36 seconds, which put me in 27th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds and Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I played seven games of pinball, which were The Lord of the Rings, Junk Yard, Fish Tales, Avatar, Jaws, Rambo and Superman and the Justice League. I didn't get on the board or a new high score but I had fun.

I worked on my jigsaw puzzle. I haven't gotten too far but I'm not giving up. It's not an easy puzzle but I like it that way because it makes it challenging.

For years we bought movies via Amazon and Google and we bought E-Books from Amazon. When you purchase them this way you really don't own them, you are getting a license to watch or read them as many times as you want. This means if Amazon or Google disable your account you lose the movies, videos and books. The other day when we were watching YouTube videos Larry came across a video on an alternative application called Movies Anywhere. It allows you to watch almost everything you have ever purchased on one application. Tonight we rented a movie on Amazon called Captain America: Brave New World. It showed up immediately in the new application. It's a superhero movie starring Anthony Machie as Captain America and Harrison Ford as the President. We enjoyed watching the movie. The program works great.

After Larry went to bed I watched a movie off Amazon called Larry Crowne starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. It's a love story about a middle aged man, who lost his job and reinvents himself. It was a cute movie. I didn't realized I had already watched it until Amazon asked if I wanted to watch it again. I watched the second Jesse Stone movie called Jesse Stone: Stone Cold from our movies collection. I ended up doing 4,500 steps.
