Tuesday 11-25-25 Dancing to Di and Terry, Home Assistant and Games

 

Awesome Day!

 

We had an awesome day with a lot of sunshine. The temperature in the morning was 46 degrees and the high was 76 degrees. 

Larry started the day out by doing his morning routine. Then he got my cell phone ready to be shipped out to get a new battery. He backup the programs up from my phone. Then he followed the directions on how to box the phone. He printed out the shipping label and put it on the box.

I made more apple empanadas for breakfast. After breakfast we went to town to mail my phone out at the UPS Store. While there Larry checked out mail. Then we went to Walmart to pick up a couple of things. We'll be down to one cell phone for 10 working days. It may be a little longer because of Thanksgiving.

When we got home I played games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed last night. I did the event: Event: Easy Street Mini of 15 games. It took me 33 minutes and 37 seconds, which put me in 18th place in my group. I played Angry Birds and Friends and Angry Birds 2 later on in the day.

We attended Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly A2 dance at 10:00 for an hour. We usually go to Liberty Hill to dance in person but this week people were going to be out of town for Thanksgiving so it was cancelled. Di and Terry called five tips of A2 to 13 participants. Terry called the first tip and Di called the other four tips. Di worked on four couple moves with a full square. The moves were Chain Thru, Left Chain Reaction, and Spin Chain the Gears. It's great dancing to Di and Terry because the cue the moves and dance together. Sometimes the dancers get confused about dancing four couples of two couples so the cueing helps us out. We had a super time dancing to Di and Terry and with friends.

 

 

We love square dancing virtually or in person

 

Larry continued working with Home Assistant. He has it installed and it works. There's a lot to do to get it configured and working for all of our devices. He'll continue playing with it.

I worked on my jigsaw puzzle most of the day.

Because we shipped my cell phone to get a new battery Larry decided to install the programs I use on an old phone he had lying around. The first program was Meta Horizons, I need it for my VR games. He soon discovered the phone was too old and Meta Horizons could not be installed. He was able to install the program for my watch/band. He decided he really didn't have to use a phone, he could use the tablet. So he installed Meta Horizons and my Weekly Pinball Challenge on the tablet. Now I can play pinball games, Bounce Arcade, Synth Riders and download the pictures from the headset. I'm very happy I can do my daily routine of playing games in VR. Thank you Larry.

I played seven games of pinball. They were Jaws, Dr. No, Star Trek the Next Generation, Scared Stiff, Superman and the Justice League, Attack From Mars and Slimer! Ghostbusters. While playing Ghostbusters I got a new high score of 11,472,230, which put me in 26th out of 31 participants so far. I had a fun time.
