Sunday 6-21-26 Hello Summer, Crafting, Project & More

 

Hello Summer

Today was the first day of summer. 

The weather was hot and humid. The morning temperature was 73 degrees and partly cloudy. It got to 93 degrees at 4:40 pm. The web said, that at 4:40 it felt like 106 degrees because of the humidity. 

Temperature at our house at 4:40

Larry kept busy all day. 

He started the day out by doing some crafting. Yesterday, he crafted Mr. Scarecrow and today he crafted Mrs. Scarecrow. He resized it to be the same size as Mr. Scarecrow. Then he decided on what color of paper he wanted to use and made the pattern paper. Then he cutout the pieces for Mrs. Scarecrow using his Cameo. Next he assembled Mrs. Scarecrow. It came out super.

After crafting Larry moved on to a security camera project. He decided to install the second Tapo Indoor/Outdoor WIFI Security Camera to replace an old garage camera. In order to install the camera he had to rewire the power. He installed a bracket to hold the camera on the eaves at the garage. Then he had to program the camera so it works with our security system. Both of the Tapo Indoor/Outdoor WIFI Security Cameras work excellent. He replaced an old Wise Security Camera and a EZViz camera with the new Tapo Indoor/Outdoor WIFI Security Cameras.

While Larry did his crafting and security camera project I played games, worked out and housework.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Pyramid Adventure of 20 games. It took me 57 minutes and 43 seconds to complete, which put me in 15th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2. 

I spent an hour in the morning doing housework. I cleaned the bathrooms, dusted the house and vacuumed the house. Yesterday, I did the laundry.

 I worked out for an hour. 

I worked out for 30 minutes on the Wii Fit. I did one exercise from the Aerobic menu for 8 minutes (Rhythm Boxing), two games from the Balance Games menu for 7 minutes (Ski Jump three times for 3 minutes and Soccer Heading two times for 4 minutes), three exercises from the Strength Training menu for 7 minutes (Sideways Leg Lift 20 reps for 2 minutes, Single-Leg Extension 20 reps for 3 minutes and Single-Leg Twist 20 reps for 2 minutes) and four exercises from the Yoga menu for 8 minutes (Chair for 2 minutes, Palm Tree for 2 minutes, Triangle for 2 minutes and Warrior for 2 minutes). Great Workout!

I worked out on the Synth Riders for 30 minutes with three songs twice. The songs were Rendezvous, Sledge and We Were Young. I didn't earn any new high scores or outstanding scores but I had a great workout.

Today is a beginning of a new week so I got a new weekly challenge in pinball. This week the challenge is 24. We didn't have this pinball installed so Larry downloaded the game. Then he installed the game on the big cabinet in both 2D and VR. Then he played the game to make sure it worked correctly. It has a super VR Room. 24 was created from the 24 series, that ran from November 6, 2001 to July 14, 2014. Below are pictures of the room.

I played 10 pinball games. 

I played five games on the big cabinet. I played last week's challenge of World Cup Soccer for a half hour to try to get a new high score for the week before the challenge was over at 2:00 pm. I failed but had fun. My final score was 2,795,141,800, which put me in 25th place out of 114 participants. Later on when the new challenge 24 began I played it a few times to get my first high score for the week, which was 11,853,480. This score put me in 16th place out of 18 participants so far this week. Then I played three other games, which were Indianapolis 500, JP Viper Night Driver and Mustang. I didn't get on the board on the games but I played well.

We watched YouTube videos.

In the evening we continued watching the second season of Patience on PBS. After Larry went to bed I watched the sixth Transformers movie, which was Bumblebee and Frozen from our movies collection. I ended up doing 3,000 steps.
