Monday 3-2-26 Dancing, Workout, Home Projects & Games

 


Happy Monday

We had a wonderful Monday. The weather was very nice. We had partly cloudy skies on and off all day. The morning temperature was 64 degrees and the high was 81 degrees. We had a little breeze.

We started the day off by attending Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly C1 dance at 9:00 am for an hour and fifteen minutes. Di called five tips to 15 dancers and Terry danced with her. Di's internet connection was giving her problems. Halfway through the second tip it said she had low connection and the screen we follow her with went small. She tried to fix it but was unsuccessful. The dancers told her we could hear her and asked her to continue calling. We just couldn't follow her on screen because the screen would freeze up. She has been trying to get her newer lab top to work with Zoom because the other lab top she has been using for six years to call Zoom died. It will just take a little time to get everything to work again. She worked shopped Tally Ho from Two-face lines because it was requested. She did a super job of workshopping it. She is great at explaining the moves and getting the dancers to understand it. Larry danced four of the tips with me and I was happy he did. We had a great time dancing with friends virtually.

After the dance Larry did a few home projects. Yesterday, Jason (our neighbor) mowed the southside of the front yard so Larry mowed the north side today. He mowed it a few times to mulch the leaves from the oak tree. Next he spread the preemergence and fertilizer on both the front and back yards. We're suppose to get some rain in the next couple of days. Then he started the irrigation system. Before starting the irrigation system he had to turn the water back on. He made sure the irrigation system worked correctly by turning on each zone one at a time. It worked great. Next he put the covers on the septic systems correctly. Last project was changing the spark plug on the lawn mower and adjusting the height up on the lawn mower.

While Larry did his projects I did some housework. I dusted the house, cleaned the bathrooms and vacuumed the house.

After lunch Larry change the spark plug on the motorcycle and took it for a drive. He said it ran great. 

I worked out on the Wii Fit for 46 minutes. I did my own routine. I worked out using Aerobic games for 10 minutes:  Basic Step for 3 minutes, Advance Step for 5 minutes and Hula Hoop for 2 minutes, Balance Games for 10 minutes:  Table Tilt for 3 minutes, Balance Bubble three time for 3 minutes and Snowboard Slalom four times for 4 minutes, Strength Training for 8 minutes: Push-up and Side Plank rep. of 6 for 2 minutes, Plank for 30 seconds twice for 3 minutes and Triceps twice for 4 minutes, Yoga for 12 minutes: Deep Breathing 2 minutes, Dance for 2 minutes and a few stretches programs for 8 minutes (Cobra for 2 minutes, Bridge for 2 minutes, Spinal Twist for 2 minutes and Solder Stand for 2 minutes) and I did Perfect 10 in Training Plus three times for 6 minutes. My balance isn't too good so I didn't do too well with Dance but I'm not going to give up on it. My strength has declined in the years so I didn't do too well with Push-up and Plank but I'll try it again. I had a super workout.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 10 minutes and 19 seconds, which put me in 7th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I played seven games of pinball. I played four games on the mini cabinet, which were 60th Anniversary, Creature From The Black Lagoon, Jaws and Monster Bash. While playing Jaws I became high score #3. I played three games on the big cabinet, which were Big Bang Bar, Blizzard of Ozz and Metallica. While playing Blizzard of Ozz I became high score #2. When I played Metallica I got a new high score of 78,177,980, which put me in 20th place out of 51 participants. I had a fun day of playing pinball.

I worked on my puzzle in between doing this and that.

In the evening we watched a movie on Kanopy called Allied. It was about two spies falling in love with each other while being undercover in Casablanca in 1942. It was a good movie starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard. When Larry went to bed I watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang out of our movies collection. It was a cute movie about a widower, who is an inventor raising two children own his own and falls in love with Truly Scrumptious (daughter of a candy factory owner). It starred Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes. I ended up doing 3,000 steps.
