Daylight Saving Begins

It's that time of the year when Daylight Saving begins, where your clocks spring forward. Here in the United States and Canada our time went an hour forward, the U.K. will also do this in three more weeks. Daylight Saving begins in the United Kingdom the last Sunday in March and lasts until the last Sunday in October. The United States Daylight Saving begins the second Sunday in March and last until the first Sunday in November. 

We had overcast skies all day. The morning temperature was 50 degrees and the high was 71 degrees. 

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Mini of 5 games. It took me 19 minutes and 35 seconds, which put me in 38th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked on my jigsaw puzzle. Larry started a new book.

I worked out for an hour and a half. I had a great workout.

I worked out with the Wii Fit for a half hour. I did the My Wii workout for twenty-nine minutes and Perfect 10 for one minute.

I played two games of Gunpowder Gulch on Bounce Arcade. The first game was that great. The second game I earned a silver trophy by playing five multiballs (Wooden Sign Rally twice, Jail Break, Safe Crack and SALOON) and the five events (Cracked the Safe, Gun Fight, Quick Drawl twice and Barrel Barrage). I was successful completing Cracked the Safe and Gun Fight. I played Bounce Arcade for a half hour.

Today is the beginning of a new week so I got a new weekly challenge, which is Elvira and the Party Monsters. I played last week's challenge of Metallica and didn't get a new high score. I ended up with the high score of 101,858,350, which put me in 37th place out of 113 participants. Larry already had the new challenge in a file of pinball games. He put it on the big cabinet and changed the number of balls from 5 to 3. He also changed Metallica number of balls from 3 back to 5. Once he got Elvira and the Party Monsters on the cabinet he played. When I played the game it kept going back to 5 balls from 3. Larry found the problem and fixed it. Then I played a few games to get my first high score on Elvira and the Party Monsters. The score was 1,073,930, which put me in 21st place out of 23 participants so far this week.

I played six other pinball games. I played four games on the mini cabinet, which were Ace of Speed, Attack From Mars, Creature From The Black Lagoon and Godzilla. While playing Ace of Speed I became high score #1. While playing Godzilla I became high score #7. I played two other games on the big cabinet besides the weekly challenges. The games were Elvira Scared Stiff and Fish Tales. I had a great day of playing pinball.

In the evening we watched a new series called The Young Sherlock on Prime. It's an updated version of Sherlock Holmes. When I started watching it I wasn't sure if I would like it but it turned out being pretty good. When Larry went to bed I started to watched the second season of The Manager on Prime. We already watched the first season before. The second season is new. I ended up doing 5,000 steps.
