Monday 1-19-26 Dancing, Cold Front & More

 

Happy Monday to you

 

We had a super day. The weather was brisk with the low of 30 degrees and the high was 67 degrees. We had a lot of sunshine.

We started the day off by attending Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly C1 at 9:00 for an hour. Di called five tips to 17 participants. Larry danced four of the tips with me. I was very thankful that Di cued and she danced with Terry throughout the dance because she got me pointed in the right direction. I was thankful, that Larry danced with me because he was a lot of help. We had a great time dancing with our virtual friends from, France, Germany and the United States.

Larry kept busy playing with the new pinball launcher. He figured out his problem and got it to work. The launcher we have now is a wheel with the games on it. You choose your game by rotating the wheel. Once you find the game you want you launch it by pressing a button. The new launcher works different. The games are on a list and you scroll down the list to find the game. Once you find the game you click on it and it launches. It looks great but Larry is thinking he will stick with the one he already uses. 

Later on one of the developer of the Time Lord game wrote Larry, he said he found and corrected a couple of errors in the code. He said he would appreciate it if Larry would install the new code and play the game as hard as he could to see if the changes worked. I played the game and didn't have any problems. Then Larry played it probably a dozen times and he could not get it to fail. He wrote the developer back and thanked him.

We're suppose to get really cold weather this weekend, currently they are saying it will get into the teens so Larry decided to take the Minnie back to storage because we weren't going to use it. 

Before putting it in storage we went to Ace Hardware to fill it up with propane. Next stop was HEB to pick up Larry's prescription. On the way home we stopped at 7-11 and filled it up with gas. When we got home the other day Larry drained the water out of the plumbing and the water heater but he had not drained the water tank. Since it is going to get so cold with possible snow/ice he went ahead drained the water tank. After it was drained we took the Minnie back to storage.

 

Minnie preparation

 

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Free Cell Adventure of 20 games. It took me 2 hours, 26 minutes and 12 seconds, which put me in 14th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I played three games on the mini cabinet, which were James Bond 60th Anniversary, Dr. No and Goldeneye. While playing Dr. No I became high score #4. Then I played four games on the big cabinet, which were Big Bang Bar, Space Lord, Willow and X-Men. I played the new Space Lord, that Larry installed yesterday to see if it worked. While playing it I became high score #1. While playing X-Men I got a new high score of 16,111,030, which put me in 35th place out of 50 participants in the weekly challenge so far.

I continued working on the Cambridge jigsaw puzzle by Charles Wysocki. 

In the evening we continued watching the sixth season of All Creatures Great & Small on PBS. Then I watched Thor from our super hero movies collection. I ended up doing 4,000 steps.
