Tuesday 12-23-25 Workout, Grill Project, Shopping & More

 

Have a terrific Tuesday

 

We had a terrific day. It's two days until Christmas. We had a cloudy warm day. The morning temperature was 68 degrees and the high was 80 degrees.

We started the day out by going to Aldi. We don't get to Aldi too often. We arrived just when it opened, which was 9:00. There were a few people waiting to get in. Once inside it wasn't too busy. We got everything we wanted plus more. Then we went to Walmart to pickup a couple of things. Afterwards we went home.

 

Grocery shopping

Larry did a small project. The gas grill we have for the Minnie was in pretty bad shape so Larry ordered a new one from Walmart. It came in a couple of days ago so Larry decided to put it together. It's hard to get a grill the perfect size to fit in the little cubby hole we put the grill. While assembling the grill he had to modify it by cutting down the handle so it can slide in the cubby hole. 

Larry decided to upgrade the software on the mini pinball cabinet. When he turned on the switch it would not come on. He took the cabinet into his workroom and discovered a blown fuse, he replaced the fuse and when he turned it on the power supply had a loud pop, some sparks flew and the fuse was blown. The power supply has gone bad. He went to the internet to order a new one. This took him a bit, the one he originally used was not readily available and others cost twice as much, the reviews were not great on any of them. He ordered one that should be here Saturday.

While Larry did his projects I played games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed last night. The event was Event: Two Game Tango mini of 10 games (5 Klondike and 5 Pyramid). It took me 43 minutes and 56 seconds, which put me in 16th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked out with Synth Riders for 50 minutes with five songs, which were We Were Young (3:40), Rendezvous (3:53), A Matter of Time (3:27), Sledge (3:54) and Interstellar (4:30). The second time working out with We Were Young, Rendezvous and A Matter of Time I got a new high score. While working out with Sledge I got confused on which control to use so I didn't get Outstanding score by not getting any bad hits. I did get Awesome by not getting any bad hits but I completely missed a few balls. I had a great workout.

We Were Young

I played one game of Monster Manor on Bounce Arcade. During the game I earned a bronze trophy. I awaken the manor and stunned the manor. I tried to do the spider multiball but the fire burned out. I hit the clock three times and got the jack-o-lanterns. For the first time I got all of the jack-o-lanterns, which gave me the Midnight Harvest points. I hit the banister enough times to earn the Banister Buster points. I had a very good game, that lasted 10 minutes.

I played nine games of pinball, which were Big Bang Bar, Blizzard of Ozz, Dark Chaos, Dracula, JP Space Cadet, Magic Pinball, Space Lord, Tron and Willow. While playing Willow I came in high score #2. I didn't get on the board on the other games but I did some good games and had fun.

 In the evening we watched Leonie on Prime Video. It was a good movie based on the life of Leonie Gilmour. She was the American lover and editorial assistant of Japanese writer Yone Nouguchi and mother of sculptor Isamu Noguchi and dancer Ailes Gilour. After Larry went to bed I watched Iron Man 3 from our movies collection. I ended up doing 5,000 steps.
