Thursday 6-11-26 Busy Day of Doing This and That

 


Hot humid day


We had a hot humid day. The morning temperature was 78 degrees and the high was 94 degrees.

Thursday is a free day of dancing so we kept busy doing this and that.

Larry was busy doing projects. 

He did paper crafting. Every Tuesday we go to Bob and Kay's house to square dance and Kay loves to decorate for holidays. Last year Larry made a few paper projects for her such as an Uncle Sam and Eagle to celebrate 4th of July. Yesterday, he decided he would remake the Uncle Sam and Eagle figurines but make them bigger. First he went into the old files and changed the size of the Uncle Sam figurine. Yesterday he cut the pieces out and today he assembled Uncle Sam. It came out super. Then he went into the Eagle files and change the size of the figurine. Then he cut out the pieces. Tomorrow he'll assemble the eagle.

The other day Larry updated the security camera program to a new version and ran into a problem. He asked for help on a Reddit group. Today a gentleman wrote him on a solution to his problem. They communicated back and forth a couple of times. He got the new software to work with the Trip Wire notifications. He was very excited about this.

A few days ago he ordered a DVD from Walmart called Oppenheimer and it arrived today. He copied it to the program he stores our movies in. Tomorrow he'll work on the subtitles.

He also started reading a new book.

I spent the day playing games and worked on my jigsaw puzzle The Blue Truck. I stayed up until 2:30 and finished it.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Free Cell Adventure of 20 games. I worked on solving all the games and ended up doing 19 of them. I worked on solving the event for 2 hours, 9 minutes and 57 seconds before giving up. I ended up being in 13th 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 with the Wii Fit Routine of 12 exercises for 26 minutes and with two Training Plus exercises for 5 minutes (Segway for 3 minutes and Perfect 10 twice for 3 minutes). During the 26 minutes routine I worked out to one Balance Games (Lotus Focus), five Strength Training (Jackknife 10, Single-Leg Extension 6 reps, Lunge 10 reps, Balance Bridge 6 reps and Sideway Leg Lift 10 reps), four Training Plus (Big Top Juggling, Rhythm Parade, Obstacle Course and Skateboard Arena) and two Yoga (Warrior and Chair). I had a super workout.
