THursday 5-28-26 Workout, Games & Having Fun

 

Just having fun

We had a great day of having fun. 

We had sunshine with the morning temperature of 63 degrees and the high temperature of 91 degrees. It was hot and humid.

Temperature at the house at 3:45 pm

We spent a lot of time watching the deer in the backyard. We saw another doe with twin newborn fawns. Later on we saw a couple of does chase each other around the yard. For the last two days we have had two hawks hanging around the backyard. They fly on the house roof and into the trees, they wait and hunt. Once in awhile we would see the hawks drive and catch a bug. Then they would fly into the oak tree. I have seen the fox walking around the house about 11:00 at night. Our security cameras will be notify us when the wire is tripped. We love watching the wildlife come and go through our yards. Our neighbor Jason keeps a gate open in his fence at the far back corner so the deer can walk through. I put out some nectar in a bowl for the hummingbirds on the porch railing and a couple of hummingbirds have been coming. They don't like to share so we see one at a time. We also have had a little activity in the birdhouse. We love watching the wildlife.

Today the mowers came. They didn't come last week because of rain. We were glad they showed up because our grass was growing like crazy. Larry had fertilized the yards and the rain we had helped the fertilizer to kick in. The yards like great.

Wednesdays are the day the garbage is collected but Monday was a holiday so they were a day behind. They showed up at lunchtime.

Larry put in a home delivery from Walmart so it was delivered to our door at 1:30. Once the grocery was delivered I put the items away.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Easy Street Mini of 15 games. It took me 26 minutes and 17 seconds, which put me in 13th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked out for an hour and a half using the Wii Fit, Gold's Gym and Synth Riders. 

I worked out for a half hour with the Wii Fit I used the Wii Fit Plus Routine, where the Wii chooses 12 different games for the workout. It picked four Aerobics (Advance Step, Basic Step, Basic Run and Hula Hoop), one Balance (Table Tilt), two Strength Training (Torso Twists (3 reps) and Tricep Extensions (10 reps per arm), four Yoga (Deep Breathing, Tree, Triangle and Warrior) and one Training Plus (Snowball Fight). I did all the workout but only earned 29 minutes of the 30 minutes so I did one Perfect 10 game. It was a great workout.

I worked out with Gold's Gym for a half hour. I worked out with a Prepared Workout with Alex for 23 minutes. I did the Beginning Combo Warm Up out of the Beginning Lesson (6 minutes), Ducking Combo out of the Advance Lesson (14 minutes) and Roadwork from the Exercise Menu (3 minutes). Roadwork is where your run in place for three minutes. I worked out with Forward and Back Step Combo Warm Up out of the Advance Lesson for (7 minutes). It was another good workout.

I worked out with the Synth Riders for a half hour with three songs, which were Hard To Love, Never Gonna Die and New Comedown. I did the songs three times. I got one new high score, which was in Hard To Love.

New Comedown

I did one game of Monster Manor on Bounce Arcade for fifteen minutes. While playing I earned a Bronze Trophy, Awoken the Manor once, Stunned the Manor once, Busted the Banister once and got a Skeleton Key. I ended up playing a lot better than I thought considering I went through two balls out of three within one minute.

I played seven games of pinball. I played three games on the mini cabinet, which were 60th Anniversary, Dr. No and The Big LeBowski. While I played The Big LeBowski I became high score #2. I played four games on the big cabinet, which were Batman, Great Houdini, Jaws and The Godfather. While I played Jaws I became high score #1. I had a great time playing pinball.

We watched YouTube videos.

In the evening we watched Cabaret on Hoopla. It was a good movie and we enjoyed it. When Larry went to bed I watched the third and final movie of Fantastic Beasts called Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 6,000 steps.

While I watched television I worked on The Blue Truck jigsaw puzzle.
