Hey,whatever it takes to get the job done LOL

Oh he had an hour drive home if it was a sunny day. Not sure how long it took, I'm sure he'll chime in sometime today.

Ha, nothing the old wonder wagon cant handle

We took it easy. City streets were kind of rough. Highway was clear, main problem was visibility driving in the blizard. About an hour and a half, but we made it safe and sound.

There is some bad news though, I made the stupid mistake of leaving the keys on the locks, and I think I lost the coin bucket somewhere during the drive. Didnt realize the bottom door had come open until I got off I70 in Kingdom City. IIRC, didnt we have that joystic part in the coin bucket? Guess I'm on the huntdown for another one, if thats the case. The game is still in my car at the moment, so Ill find out in a little bit. Just waiting for the ladies of the house to wake up and help me get it in the cave.

Anyway a good time was had by all, we definitely need to make this a regular thing. Kenneth, be safe heading out, I know youve got a bit of a drive.

I'd figure I'd add mine that I took.

Snow is great... when it melts is when it sucks.



Nice job!

Wuss! I brought my Gaplus down my bilco door stairs all by mayself this weekend!

It was just out of necessity, but I came up with a system, I put the game at the top of the stairs outside with its back facing the stairs. Then I use a big thick piece of cardboard, like a refrigerator box and lay that at the top of the stairs. Then I get on the stairs straddling the cardboard, and lay the game down on its back and slide it down the stairs. Once at the bottom, I pick up the top the game and roll it in.

Now I am a big guy, I wouldn't suggest this to anyone who isn't confident then their strength. The game could easily get out of control and crush or pin someone.

I made the mistake of trying to ride my 1976 Honda MR 250 down those stairs. I slammed my right hand right into the concrete. I am surprised I didn't break anything!

I have the "luxury" of rolling games down a ramp, which is basically at a 45 degree angle. "Work smarter, not harder"...

Besides, did you miss the photos? We have snow to deal with today.

LOL, I was just kidding! I had snow too, but I also have a 4WD Murano. I have 2 Saturns, but they are both sedans. I wish they were Station wagons!

That Saturn's been one of the best beaters I've had.
