I currently can not do anything arcade related for a couple of weeks.

When you move from a 3000 sq ft house to a 2000 sq ft house, it is hard to find anything. I had to cut my games in the house down to only 12, and the rest are stacked up in the garage. This is the longest move that we have ever made, and it is not done yet. I almost know where about 1/4 of my wiring stuff is located at, and the rest is buried. I did find the monitors and some of the power supplies, but that is about it for right now.

Hell, it took a week just to clear a path to my computer. Making things worse, I picked up some sort of walking pneumonia and my poor little dog got it too. The wife and daughter got some other wonderful cold that is almost as fun too.

I will answer all pm's tomorrow after I get home from the Seahawks game. I think I have finally cleared the 200+ emails that I have gotten in the week that I have been offline.

sorry i couldn't help with the move... September is usually my busiest month for work and this year is proving to be no exception.
 
Being a B.C. Boy (we share our boarder with Seattle) I have followed the Seahawks all my life. Go Seahawks! Good luck with the move Dok

Dave, take care of your health and rest as much as possible. I've had pneumonia 3 times and it is a bitch. Hit it hard with antibiotics and rest. The house will get settled, just a little slower.

Edit: WhooHooo 5000 posts at last. I've finally extreme!!!! :D
 
I have seen and participated in the move and it was a large undertaking. I'm sure it's time for a long rest at this point. Get well Dave - Barry

That song was/is a Bob Rivers' morning show "Twisted Tune," one of a metric shit ton they did. You don't hear their Twisted Tunes played much on the air anymore but they're all available to listen to on their web site. They also put out two volumes of them on CD, both available at Amazon. You can also buy them as individual mp3s on Amazon. But they did way more Twisted Tunes than will fit on a couple of CDs; they must have made hundreds of songs.

They were at 99.9 KISW (not 107.7 The End) at the time. Several years ago due to a dispute with KISW's new owners they left KISW and spent a contractually-required year off the air before moving the show to 102.5 KZOK, where they still are. I heard them play a Twisted Tune on the air the other day for the first time in many years. I don't think they make new ones anymore. They formed their own cover band several years back and play live gigs in the area occasionally, usually as fundraisers.
 
We have been very lucky to get the help of a few of the local SMAC group, and they were awesome. We greatly appreciate all of the help that they gave us during the biggest part of the move.

The biggest setback with pneumonia is that every time you feel better, you have about as much energy as a newborn kitten.

I will have to check on the address, as I don't know it off the top of my head yet.

A win is a win, no matter how ugly it is and today's game was ugly.
