Friday 3-6-26 Working Out, Games, Puzzle & Dancing

 

Humid Day

We had a warm humid day with overcast skies and wind. The morning temperature was 68 degrees and the high was 83 degrees and humidity was 50%. The wind kept it a little cooler outside. The wind was out of the south with the gust up to 22mph.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Spider Adventure of 20 games. It took me 2 hours, 4 minutes and 1 second, which put me in 15th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

While I played games Larry worked on a home project. We have an old Harmony remote controller for the television. Awhile back the company said they weren't going to support it any more. It worked great for many years. The other night it stopped responding to our Alexa commands. It wouldn't turn on or off the television and it wouldn't turn on or off my Wii Fit. That was ok we have a controller, where we can turn it off manually. Larry decided to try and fix the Harmony/Alexa issue. It took awhile but he got the Harmony controller working again with the television and the Alexa commands. Thank you Larry.

After lunch I did my workout for an hour and fifteen minutes. 

First I worked out with the Wii Fit for 30 minutes using My Wii Fit Plus for 28 minutes and one Perfect 10 game for 2 minutes. My Wii Fit Plus routine was one Aerobic, four Strength Training, two Balance, four Yoga and one Training Plus. The Aerobic was Basic Step. The Strength Training were Torso Twist of 6, Jack Knifes of 10, Lunges (10 rep) and the Balance Bridge (6 rep). The Yoga were Standing Knee, Sun Salutation, Downward Facing Dog and Triangle. The Balance were Lotus Focus for three minutes and Table Tilt. The Training Plus was Island Cycling. It was a great workout.

I failed to complete the reps so I was unbalance

Second I worked out with Gold's Gym for 30 minutes. I decided to do the workout A La Carte, where I choose two programs from the Intermediate Level. I decided to do Ducking Combo for 7 minutes and Left and Right Ducking Combo for 16 minutes. The other 7 minutes was doing a Box Exam, which was Exam E. The exam consist of seven questions and four sets per questions. The questions are different boxing moves and punches. I completed it prefect.

I played two games of Monster Manor with Bounce Arcade. The second game wasn't good at all. The first game I earned a bronze trophy by stunning the manor once, awoken manor once, banister buster and tried hitting the spider to start multiball. I played a lot better than normal and had fun.

I played seven games of pinball. I played four pinball games on the mini cabinet, which were Ace of Speed, Fun House, No Good Goffers! and Theatre of Magic. While playing No Good Goffers! I became high score #3. I played three pinball games on the big cabinet, which were Dracula, Metallica and The Big LeBowski. While playing The Big LeBowski I became high score #3 and Dracula I became the Grand Champion. I had a great day of playing pinball on both cabinets.

In the evening I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly A2 dance at 6:30 pm for an hour. Ett called four tips to 9 participants. I had a great time dancing with friends from the U.S.A., Canada and Australia. In between the tips we visited with each other.

After the dance we watched a movie on Kanopy called Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. It was a very good movie about a female reporter Kim Baker ( Tina Fey) who takes a dangerous assignment in Afghanistan. She gets out of her comfort zone and finds her strength as she looks for her next story. She befriends a BBC correspondent Tanya Vanderpoel (Margot Robbie) and an independent photographer Ian MacKelpie (Martin Freeman) from Scotland. She becomes friends with Ali Massoud Sadig (Alfred Molina), who is Afghan Attorney General. Other stars in the movie were Billy Bob Thornton, Stephan Peacock and others. It's biography drama based on a true story during the Afghanistan War. 

After Larry went to bed I continued watching the first season of the Night Manager on Prime. I ended up doing 3,000 steps. While watching television I worked on my puzzle.
