Thursday 3-12-26 Trip Preparation Begins, Workout & Games

 


Sunny Day


We had a gorgeous day with sunshine. We had a very comfortable day, the morning temperature was a brisk 42 degrees and the high temperature was 65 degrees.

While waiting for it to warm up I played games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed. The event was Event: World Tour of 10 games. It took me 35 minutes and 8 seconds, which put me in 20th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

We started our Spring Trip preparation after lunch. Yesterday, Larry backed the Minnie onto blocks on the passenger side to get under it to replace the shocks. He also sprayed a penetrating lubricant on the shocks bolts to make them easier to get off. Today, he got his wrenches and his his creeper out to use to crawl under the Minnie. He started the project on the left side because it would be easier to do and tell him how to do the project. He ended up going in and out of his work room multiple times to get other tools. He has air bags on the Minnie to stabilize it while driving. The bags made it a little more challenging because the shocks are behind them. He removed and replaced the left side and then he moved to the right side. When he moved over there he had to jack the Minnie up a little higher. So I went outside and sat in a chair just for safety reasons you never can tell what will happen. While sitting outside I did a few Sudoku puzzles It took him a few hours to do the job. We put the tools away and got the Minnie off the blocks. We stacked the blocks and put them on the table in the garage.

Afterwards Larry backed The Minnie on the side of the house where our dump station is to fill the Minnie with water. He filled the water tank and the hot water heater. Once the Minnie was filled with water he returned it to the driveway. Tomorrow, we'll started washing the Minnie.

When we were finished with the Minnie projects I worked out on the Wii Fit for a half hour. I worked out ten minutes with two Aerobics exercises, which were Boxing for eight minutes and Basic Run for two minutes. I worked out ten minutes with five Strength Training exercises, which were Single-Leg Extension (10 reps per leg) for two minutes, Torso Twists (6 reps) for three minutes, Single-Leg Twists (10 reps) for one minute, Sideways Leg Twist (10 reps) for one minute and Balance Bridge (10 reps) for three minutes. I worked out with five exercises with Yoga, which were Half Moon for two minutes, Warrior for two minutes, Standing Knee for two minutes, Chair for two minutes and Downward-Facing Dog for two minutes. I had a super workout.

I played eight pinball games. I played four games on the mini cabinet, which were 60th Anniversary, Cirqus Voltaire, No Good Goffers! and The Goonies. I played four games on the big cabinet, which were Attack From Mars, Elvira and the Party Monsters, Tales of the Arabian Nights and World Joker Poker Tour. While playing Elvira and the Party Monsters I got a new high score for the challenge, which put me in 59th out of 70 participants. I didn't get on the board on the mini cabinet or big cabinet but had a good day of playing pinball.

In the evening we watched a movie on Kanopy called Regarding Susan Sontag. It was a biography documentary about Susan Sontag's life. She was a very interesting and brilliant person. She was an important icon politically, literary and feminist in her generation. It was a good movie. When Larry went to bed I watched the two Lara Croft movies starring Angelina Jolie from our movies collection. The movies were Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life. I ended up doing 3,000 steps.

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