Friday 1-30-26 Happy Friday, Dancing with Ett & More

 

It's Friday celebrate and dance

 

Another cold front has arrived. It's not as cold as the last one but it's cold. The morning temperature was 32 degrees and the high was 54 degrees. We had a breeze out of the north, which made it a little colder.

Larry is playing with different phone/tablet applications.

I played games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed last night. The event today was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 10 minutes and 33 seconds, which put me in 16th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I spent most of the day working on my jigsaw puzzle.

We have been cooped up in the house since Saturday Larry decided to take me out for lunch. Our first stop was the UPS Store to check the mail. Larry came back with no mail. We were discussing where to go for lunch, I suggested swinging by Little Caesar Pizza. There was a location across the street from the UPS Store. We got a pepperoni Grab-And-Go pizza. By doing this we can get two meals out of it. That's what we had for lunch and dinner.

As we were leaving the house Larry tried to close the garage door and it wouldn't go down. A couple of weeks ago we had the same issue and Larry figured out one of the sensors was not working, in messing around with it it started working so he didn't replace it. Well, it quit again but fortunately he had a backup. When we got home we had lunch and then Larry went worked on the replacing the sensor. It took longer than he thought. He had to rewire things a bit but with the new sensor the door opener is once again working. 

After fixing the garage door we took the Minnie back to storage. While it's still suppose to get really cold they are not predicting ice or snow and we won't be using the Minnie for a couple of weeks or more. Larry doesn't like keeping the Minnie in the driveway for long periods of time. If he's working on the Minnie it's a different story.

I played nine games of pinball. I played five games on the mini cabinet, which were Batman Forever, No Good Goffers!, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pirate's Life and The Goonies. While playing Pirate's Life I became high score #3. I played four games on the big cabinet, which were Big Bang Bar, Blizzard of Ozz, Cactus Canyon and Dracula. While playing Cactus Canyon I got on the board as high score #3. My score was 64,749,770, which put me in 40th place out of 97 participants for this weekly challenge. I had a fun time playing pinball.

In the evening I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly A2 dance at 6:30 for an hour. This is the last dance she will be calling for three weeks because she's going on a cruise to Antarctic. We had a small group of 6 participants. She called four tips and in between the tips we all visited with each other. I had a fun time dancing with friends.

While I danced Larry called his sister Louise and talked to her. 

After the dance we watched Thelma on Hoopla. It was about an elderly woman, who was scammed out of $10,000. She teamed up with a friend and drove his scooter to get it back. It was 2024 movie starring June Squibb as Thelma and Richard Roundtree as Ben her friends. It was a cute movie. When Larry went to bed I watched Short Circuit on Hoopla. It was about a robot, that comes alive and escapes from the lab it was built in. It was a cute 1986 comedy Then I watched 101 Dalmatians from our movies collection. I ended up doing 2,000 steps.
