Saturday 10-31-26 Happy Halloween! Projects, Working Out & More

 


Happy Halloween


Happy Halloween. We didn't have any Tricker Treaters. We just relaxed in front of the television. 

We had a dreary day. The morning temperature was 65 degrees and the high temperature of 75 degrees. We had clouds all day but no rain.

We spent the day hanging around the house. 

Larry had installed the pinball game Borderlands, it was not designed for VR but he is pretty good at being able to modify 2d games and get them to work in VR. He later found where someone else had converted it and added a room. He wrote the person and they let him have their version. Unfortunately it didn't work, he wrote the person back, he said he really didn't understand what he was doing. He was using a program called Converter that was written by someone else to convert the pinball games into VR and add the room, however, he took the error Larry was getting along with the table file and fed that into an AI client, the AI came back with a solution. He sent that to Larry and what do you know, the solution worked. Larry is very interested in learning Converter so he can add VR rooms himself. He actually learned how to add rooms manually quite awhile ago but it was a very time consuming project so he stuck with getting the 2d games to work without rooms. 

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. I completed every game for the month so the score was perfect. I did the Daily Event, which was Event: Two Game Tango of 20 games (10 Klondike and 10 Free Cell). It took me 1 hour, 57 minutes and 36 seconds to complete, which put me in 6th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2. 

I worked out on the Wii Fit for 30 minutes. My workout was with the Wii Fit Plus Routine of 12 games for 25 minutes. I did two extra exercises for 5 minutes:  one exercise was from the Aerobics (Rhythm Boxing for 4 minutes)  and one exercise from Training Plus (Perfect 10 for 1 minute). The 12 exercises on the routine were one exercise from the Aerobics menu (Hula Hoop), four exercises from the Strength Training menu (Balance Board 6 reps, Lunge 10 reps, Rowing Squat 15 reps and Torso Twist 3 reps), three exercises from the Training Plus menu (Obstacle Course, Rhythm Parade and Snowball Fight) and four exercises from the Yoga menu (Half-Moon, Standing Knee, Triangle and Warrior). I had a great workout.

I worked out with Just Dance for 30 minutes using three programs Just Dance 2016, Just Dance 2018 and Just Dance 2019. While working out with Just Dance 2016 I danced to three songs for 10 minutes, which were Born This Way, No Control and Want To Want Me. While working out with Just Dance 2018 I danced to three songs for 10 minutes, which were Blue (Da Ba Dee), How Far I'll Go and Itsy Bitsy Teenee Weenie. While working out with Just Dance 2019  I danced to three songs for 10 minutes, which were Rhythm of the Night, New Realty and I'm Still Standing. I had fun dancing with Just Dance.

I played Asteroid Outpost on the Bounce Arcade for 40 minutes. While playing I earned a silver trophy. I played one multiball, I mined six times and was successful two times and I earned an extra ball. The last time I played Asteroid Outpost it was back in 8/2/2026. I had a great game.

I played ten pinball games. I played five on the mini cabinet, which were Dead Pool, Michael, No Good Goffers!, The Goonies and Three Angels. While playing Dead Pool I became high score #1. I played five games on the big cabinet, which were Blizzard of Ozz, Borderlands, John Wick, The Addams Family and The Beach Boys. While playing John Wick I became high score #1 and The Beach Boys I became high score #4. Larry had installed the new VR table for Borderlands and it looks great.

We watched YouTube videos.

I started working on Starring Night Cats jigsaw puzzle. I separated the pieces by the letters on the back of the puzzle piece (A, B, C, D, E, F, G and h). Then I assembled the frame of the puzzle. I ended up doing a A session, which the top left corner of the puzzle.

In the evening we watched Godzilla X Kong on Amazon. It was about Godzilla and Kong teaming up to save Kong's home. They hate each other. It was not the best movie. When Larry went to bed I watched the seventh Mission Impossible from our movies collection. The movie was Mission Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One.

I ended up doing 4,000 steps.
