Friday 1-16-26 Dancing with Ett, Projects & More

 

Just having fun

 

We had a gorgeous day with a lot of sunshine. The morning temperature was 40 degrees and the high was 67 degrees. 

I played my Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed. The event was Event: Experts Only Mini of 5 games. It took me 1 hour, 26 minutes and 57 seconds, which put me in 17th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

We had hoped to go camping again soon but it appears it will be a bit. The crown for my implant was suppose to be put on this week but it didn't arrive so they rescheduled for next Thursday. This was disappointing because that was the main reason we came home from camping after eight days. Hopefully it comes in next week. Then Larry is suppose to be on jury duty the first week of February. 

I have some free time so I decided to started another jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle is called the Cambridge by Charles Wysocki. The puzzle is made by Buffalo. I like Buffalo puzzles because they come with a poster of the puzzle. This puzzle has 2,000 pieces so it's going to take a bit to assemble.

After lunch I did some housework.  I cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed the house, did laundry and wiped down the kitchen floor.

Larry ordered new shocks for the back of the Minnie and they have arrived. Since the weather was going to be really nice he wanted to put them on today but unfortunately he is not fully healed from his fall last week. His chest is much better but still causing him some pain so he decided it would be better to wait for another warm day. 

The temperature is suppose to dropped into the 20s Saturday night so Larry wanted to dump the holding tanks. I helped him back the Minnie on the side of the house to where our dump station is. He dumped both the black and gray tank. Then he drained the water from the plumbing and blew out the lines. He also plugged it into power and setup both of our electric heaters and opened the cabinet doors so nothing should freeze. 

I worked out for a half hour on Synth Riders to four songs two times. The songs were Escape, Hypothermia, Stay and The Wild. While working out with Escape I got two new high scores I missed outstanding scores by one ball each time. While working out with Hypothermia I got a new high score and an outstanding score the first time around. I had a get workout.

Larry decided to play with a new version of VR for the pinball games. Today he dug out the Dell computer that he initially used in the pinball cabinet. He now uses it for testing things. He mostly following the guide for the new version but whoever wrote it left out quite a bit of information. Fortunately Larry has enough experience that he was able to figure it out. In 2D it actually works quite well using a one screen desktop setup but the Dell computer has a lower power graphics card so while VR works the performance is not very good. He had fun working with the procedure and learning a bit about what may be coming.

Afterwards he played Pirates of the Caribbean on the mini cabinet. He moved onto the big cabinet and played JP Space Cadet. Both games were great.

I played three pinball games on the mini cabinet, which were Batman Forever, Dead Pool and Pirates of the Caribbean. While playing Dead Pool I became high score #2 and Pirates of the Caribbean I became Grand Champion. I had a great day of pinball.

Yesterday I talked about the free water leak detectors, below is what one looks like. It's on the laundry room floor.

For dinner I barbecued a apple wood smoked bacon pork lion. We hadn't had pork lion in a long time and it was very good.

In the evening I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly A2 dance at 6:30 for an hour. Ett called three tips to 11 participates. I had a great time.

After the dance we continued watching the sixth season of Miss Scarlet on PBS. Then I started watching the super hero movies we have in our movies collection. The first one was Captain Marvel. I ended up doing 6,000 steps, which included 15 minutes of my Jazz routine.
