Sunday 6-14-26 New Weekly Challenge, Dancing with Loren & Projects

 

Awesome Day

We had an awesome day. 

It was hot and humid with partly cloudy skies. The morning temperature was 76 degrees and the high was 96 degrees at the house at 4:00. The humidity was 47%. The rain rolled in at 9:00 pm and stayed around for the rest of the night and into the morning. It rained very hard at times.

It's Raining Cats and Dogs

Larry spent most of the day working on a couple of new pinball games developed by Marty, which were Beach Boys and Michael. He loaded up Michael yesterday and got it to work but it wasn't exactly what he wanted. Today he fixed the DMD where it worked correctly and in the right place. He downloaded the Beach Boys and installed it on the big cabinet. Then he worked on getting it to work correctly. Both games are excellent. Marty doesn't design his games to work with VR so Larry has to make changes so they do. I don't play the games in 2D but he does install Marty's games in 2D and VR. When playing pinball in VR you can see the ramps and other things, that you can't see in 2D.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Medium Mayhem Mini of 5 games. It took me 10 minutes and 35 seconds to complete, which put me in 9th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

We attended Ett McAtee's Weekly C dance at 1:00 for an hour. This week Loren Smith from Canada called four tips of C1 and one tip of C2. Larry danced with me the four C1 tips. We don't dance C2 so we said our good-byes and thanked Loren for calling the dance. During the dance Loren had 9 participants and he worked shopped Relay The Top because the dancers were having problems with it. We had a great time dancing to Loren and with friends.

Today starts a new Weekly Pinball Challenge, which is World Cup Soccer. Last week's challenge was Transformers and before it ended at 2:00 I played it for a half hour trying to get a new high score. I wasn't successful. I needed up with the high score of 24,418,630, which put me in 92nd out of 118 participants. After the dance I played this week's challenge of World Cup Soccer and my first high score was 480,116,130 which put me in 23rd place out of 28 participants so far.

In the evening we started to watch the 10th season of Grantchester again because the 11th season started today. After Larry went to bed I watched Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Shrek the Third from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 2,000 steps.
