Smile It's Friday

We had an overcast day with a little rain. The morning temperature was 64 degrees and the high of 73 degrees.

Larry kept busy all day playing with his new Stream Dock. When we play pinball in virtual realty to adjust the playfield, we use one button to move the playfield, to adjust the height we have to use two buttons, one we hold while pushing another button. Larry would like to improve this so he thought he would try a Stream Dock. The dock is a highly customizable button keypad, it allows you to do all kind of things using programable buttons. He received the Stream Dock yesterday and today he kept busy learning how to configure and modify it. He is really impressed with it but it is larger that he thought so he is not sure about installing it on the front of the pinball cabinet.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The Daily Event was Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 44 minutes and 43 seconds to complete, which put me in 14th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I finished The Garden Shed by Carol Decker this morning. It was missing one pieces. It only took me four days to do it. I started 10/26/26 and finished 10/30/26.  It was 500 pieces and it's a very pretty puzzle. Then I started another puzzle called Starring Night Cats 1000 piece puzzle. It was a whimsical Van Gogh inspired design of an orange ginger cat and a black cat looking out at a swirling starlit sky. The new puzzle is different because it has the alphabet letters A to H on the back of each piece. So you can assemble the same letter to each other. When it changes from one letter to another one both letters are on the piece. It maybe easier to do assemble. I'll find out.

I worked out for an hour and a half. I had a great workout using three different programs and routines. 

I worked out with the Wii Fit for 30 minutes with 11 different exercises. The exercises were two exercises from the Aerobics menu for 10 minutes (Hula Hoop for 2 minutes and Rhythm Boxing for 8 minutes), three exercises from the Balance Games menu for 7 minutes (Balance Bubble two times for 2 minutes, Soccer Heading for 1 minute and Table Tilt for 4 minutes), three exercises from the Strength Training menu for 7 minutes (Balance Bridge 6 reps for 2 minutes, Lunge 15 reps for 3 minutes and Single-Leg Extension 10 reps for 2 minutes) and three exercises from the Yoga menu for 6 minutes (Chair for 2 minutes, Half-Moon for 2 minutes and Palm Tree for 2 minutes).

I worked out using Gold's Gym for a half hour. I'll probably will be sore tomorrow considering I hadn't used Gold's Gym for almost three months. I did two exercises from the Intermediate Lesson menu for 22 minutes (Ducking Combo for 7 minutes and Double Combo for 15 minutes), one exercise from the Beginner Lesson menu for 6 minutes (Cross Punch Combo) and one exercise from the Exercise menu for 1 minute (Log Chopping). I did the Log Chopping using the balance board for the first time ever.

I worked out for a half hour with the Synth Riders using three songs twice, which were Calling Out, Revenger and Showdown. I didn't get on the board but I had fun.

I played seven games of pinball. I played three games on the mini cabinet, which were Godzilla, Monster Bash and Pirates of the Caribbean. While playing Pirates of the Caribbean I became the Grand Champion. I played four games on the big cabinet, which were Borderlands, John Wick, The Addams Family and The Beach Boys. While playing Borderlands I became high score #3 and John Wick I became high score #1. Larry had updater The Beach Boys DMD and it looks super. I became high score #3. I had a great day of playing pinball.

While I played games Larry continued playing with his new Streaming Dock. 

I watched YouTube videos.

In the evening we watched the movie Red One on Amazon. It is a Christmas movie. We watched it before and liked it. It was a cute movie about saving Christmas. After Larry went to bed I watched the sixth Mission Impossible movie, which was Mission Impossible- Fallout. 

By the end of the day I had done 5,000 steps.
