Sunday 11-23-25 New Pinball Challenge, Home Project & Games

 

Happy Sunday

 

We had a very nice day with a light cloud covering. The temperature when we got up was 52 degrees and the high was 71 degrees. There was a little breeze, which made it very comfortable. 

I got up at 7:00 to make apple empanadas for breakfast. I made them before going to bed so in the morning I just had to bake them. They came out very good. After breakfast I went back to bed for a couple of hours. 

While I was sleeping Larry finished a book and wrote a review on it. He is very good at writing reviews after he reads a book. People do read reviews. Sometimes he will get a comment on a review he has done years ago. The author once in awhile will comment or give a thumbs up. I don't write any reviews.

 

Reading can be fun

Larry worked on installing the security camera on the porch. He figured out where he wanted to mount the camera and how to wire it in. He did an excellent job. Now he can see where the packages from Amazon are delivered.

Today starts a new week for my weekly challenge on pinball. This weeks pinball challenge is Slimer! Ghost Busters. Larry downloaded the table and installed it on the pinball cabinet in both 2D and VR. It didn't have an actual VR version but Larry has converted other games before so he did the same for this game. It came out perfect. After installing the game he played it in both versions. Then he played Dracula and Magic Pinball.  

Before last week's challenge of Austin Powers stopped I played it for a half hour and was unsuccessful in getting a new high score. My high score of 271,767,310 put me in 60th place out of 84 participants. Once the new challenge began I played it a few times and got a high score of 8,383,520, which put me in 7th place out of 9 participants.

I played six other games, which were Playboy, Fun House, Big Bang Bar, Dark Chaos, Big LeBowski and Willow. While I was playing Playboy I entered my initials in two places. One place was as high score #5 and the other place was because I played Manson Mania. Even though I didn't get on the board while playing the other games I still had good games.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: World Tour Mini of ten games. It took me 42 minutes and 52 seconds, which put me in 8th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds and Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I didn't play Synth Riders or Bounce Arcade because I decided to work on my jigsaw puzzle instead.

In the evening we watched the third The Kingsman, which was The King's Man. When Larry went to bed I watched the second National Treasure, which was National Treasure: Book of Secrets. I also watched The Little Mermaid II: Return To The Sea. I ended up doing 3,500 steps.
