Thursday 5-21-26 Rain, Computer Project, Workout & More

 


Rainy Evening


We had a relaxing day. 

The morning temperature was in the 60's and the high was 80 degrees. The rain rolled in at 3:00 pm and stayed around through out the evening. 

Larry spent the day formatting the square dancing tapes we use for C1 on Tuesday. Glen sent him some C1 tapes for four couples just in case we have enough dances for a full square. Larry worked on formatting the four couple tapes and continued working on the two couple tapes. He worked with the application Henry used but he was not happy with it. He tried out three other programs and while he was not thrilled with any of them he found one that worked better than the others. He enjoys learning new programs.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: The Hard Road of 16 games. It took me 2 hours, 2 minutes and 35 seconds, which put me in 10th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked out for an hour and a half. I worked out with the Wii Fit for a half hour using My Wii Fit Plus, which is where the Wii Fit puts a workout together for you. I decided on all four categories of 12 different games, which were three Yoga exercises (Half Moon, Palm Tree and Warrior), three Strength excises (Jack Knifes, Tricep Extensions and Rowing Squats), three Aerobics exercises (Advance Step, Basic Run and Super Houla Hoops), one Balance exercise (Table Tilt) and two Training Plus (Rhythm Parade and Skate Board). It had been 63 days since I used the Wii Fit and I had a great workout.

Next I worked out with Gold's Gym for a half hour. I chose my own lessons, which were Left and Right Step Combo for 8 minutes, Advance Combo for 16 minutes and Cross Punch Combo for 6 minutes. I had another great workout.

The final workout was with the Synth Riders for a half hour using four songs twice, which were Pursuit, Silver Stallion, The Curse and The End of the Night. While using the Synth Riders I did seven outstanding out of eight, which means I hit only the balls. The first time I did The Curse I missed an outstanding because I missed one ball completely.

I played ten games of pinball. I played five games on the mini cabinet, which were Dark Chaos, JP Space Cadet, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pirates of the Caribbean and Three Angels, While playing Dark Chaos I became Grand Champion and Nightmare Before Christmas I became high score #3. I played five games on the big cabinet, which were Goldeneye, The Godfather, Theatre of Magic, Time Lord and World Joker Poker. I didn't get on the board playing on the big cabinet but I still had a great time.

We watched our YouTube videos.

In the evening we watched Finding Bobby Fischer on Hoopla. It was based on a true story about Josh Waitzkin, who was a prepubescent chess prodigy. It was about his training to become a champion like the famous Bobby Fischer. It was a 1993 movie loaded with big stars: Joe Mantegna, Laurence Fishburne, Ben Kingsley, David Paymer and more. It was a very good movie. When Larry went to bed I watched Harry Porter and the Goblet of Fire and Jesse Stone: Sea Change from our movies collection. I ended up doing 4,500 steps. 




Relaxing in front of the television



I worked on my jigsaw puzzle while watching television.
