Wednesday 11-12-25 Two Dances, Minnie New Tires & More

 

Awesome Day

 

We had an awesome day. The day started with the low of 51 degrees and the high of 80 degrees. 

I attended two virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour and fifteen minutes. Di called five tips to 8 participants. Terry danced with Di but didn't call any tips. I had a great time dancing with friends.

The second was Dave Eno's Weekly C1/A2 at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Karin Rabe and Greg Moore helped Dave call the dance. The format was three tips of C1, three tips of A2 and three trivia questions. In both C1 and A2 Karin and Greg called one tip together, Dave called one tip and the third tip Dave, Karin and Greg called together. During the C1 session we had 7 participants and the A2 session had 9 participants. This week we had two trivia questions between the A2 tips and one at the end of the dance. I had a super evening dancing to Dave, Karin and Greg and with friends.

Before the first dance I helped Larry check the steering system on the Minnie to see if he could find anything that needs replaced. Everything seemed to be fine. He decided we would take the Minnie to a shop to get an alignment and see if it needs the front end worked on.

Larry decided to replace the tires on the Minnie before getting the alignment. He went on the Discount Tires website and research on what tires they had. Then he called to see the availability of the tires. While he talked to them he made an appointment. 

After the first dance we had lunch and then we took the Minnie to get new tires. I went along because Ett's weekly dance was cancelled. The appointment was at 12:30. Discount Tires was very busy so we had to wait until 2:00 to get in. We didn't mind because we could sit in the Minnie and wait. There was a breeze so we just opened a window and waited. I did some Sudoku games and Larry surfed the internet. They got us in at 2:00 and finished by 2:45. They replaced all six tires and put the best of the old tires on the spare tire rim. Before we left Discount Tires they drove the Minnie around the lot and then they re-torqued the lug nuts. Then we went home.

When we got home Larry checked the tires. He noticed the shop had bent the long valve stems on the inside dual tires making it impossible to add air to them. He was able to straighten them. 

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before I went to bed. I played the event, which was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 10 games (5 Klondike and 5 Free Cell). It took me 49 minutes and 34 seconds, which put me in 9th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds and Friends. Later on I played Angry Birds 2.

After dinner I played four games of pinball, which were Road Show, Mission Impossible, Transformers and Xenon. While playing Mission Impossible and Transformers I entered my initials as high score #4 in both games. I had a great time playing pinball.

After Dave's dance we watched a movie from our collection called Lara Croft: Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie. It was a 2001 adventure movie about exploring lost treasures. When Larry went to bed I watched a couple of movies from our collection. They were Finding Dory and Jesse Stone: No Remorse. Finding Dory was a sequel from Finding Nemo. It was a cute animated adventure. Jesse Stone: No Remorse is the sixth movie of the series. I ended up doing 3,000 steps.
