...and taking my boy with her. They are flying to San Diego to visit family and friends. I can't go due to work. They will gone for 2 weeks. I am going to miss my wife bigtime but my son even more.

That said... it's time to get some arcade shit done...

On the list of TO DO's:

(A) Recap upper monitor on Super Punch Out
(B) Recap both audio boards on Super Punch Out
(C) Shop Whirlwind
(D) Shop Secret Service
(E) Install new pots on Battlezone's G05-802

That list should keep my busy for some time. Especially the pinball shopping...which I would NEVER get to with baby his mom around.
 
It's a strange feeling when your family leaves you behind. My wife took our daughter to the beach 2 years ago, and even though at first I was loving the peace, it started to get creepy too. When you finally have a child, and they aren't around, you feel like you missed a BIG update somewhere.

Good thing you have the games to keep you company. Oh, and us. :D
 
2 days tops, you'll be crying like a bitch after passing a hallway family picture.

Man, it seems so exciting when you think you'll get a few days to concentrate on projects. After a day or two, it gets REALLY lonely without wife/kid around.

2 weeks, I couldn't do that.
 
I get the same thing for one week starting on Wednesday. My wife's going to CA with the kid for a wedding.

I'm going to:
-Cap my Moon Patrol
-Cap my multi-JAMMA
-switch out some of the boards in the MJ
-help TheShanMan pick up a game
-play pinball late at night without having to worry about waking up the kid

I should probably put an order in now to have the parts for rebuilding my MP joysticks (P1 is super sloppy right now).

I may also try to rearrange our guest room to see if I can fit some games in there.
 
I purposefully take these extended trips to Virginia just to get away from my family.


The amount of stuff I get accomplished when I am away from the family is absolutely amazing...

(F) Call up the old college buddies for an extended session of drinking and debauchery.

You can party 'til dawn, and everyone can crash at your pad. All weekend. This is sometimes frowned upon while the whole family is occupying the house.
 
What he forgot to mention though was Phet is staying with him for those 2 weeks.

That's almost as gross as this:
