My boss just called me..  It's 90% sure that I'm posted to Ottawa THIS summer... like right now...

I'll know for sure by the 18th..  That would definitely be VERY cool..  I'd be able to go to those monthly MAACA "get-together's".

I guess the Pinbot restoration will have to wait now..  

Mike

I guess one (or 2 or 3) pin(s) will be in the van when you come down...I have some space in front of the bar...

You don't want the MILITARY move your machines, right???

You don't want the MILITARY move your machines, right???  

Whats wrong with the military moving you? Who doesn't like having to replace all your electronic items (tv's, vcr's, computers, etc) every time you move? At least it forces you to upgrade often.

lol, just joking. I moved around with the military for 15 years before we finally stayed put in one place....

But if you want the real military moving experience, (not the lowest goverment contracter bid moving company type of move) I just got another army truck today, a 2 and a half ton (deuce) with a box on the back. Good for moving anything, anywhere  

Good luck on being posted in the area, would be fun to have you over.

You gonna have to come over at my place and renew a friendship with the CryptKeeper...

Yes I do miss him..  

I 'killed' my Roadshow last night..  I was playing my first game in 2 weeks and played 1h10mins one 1 game!!..  over 13 Billion.  BTW I have it set up so that specials and replays award extraballs instead of credits since it's useless on free play to get a credit...  I didn't even use any buy-ins...  

Mike

Well it's official..  I start my new job in Ottawa on the 5th of Sep...  Move should happen end Aug.

Guess I'll put the Pinbot parts in little baggies and hopefully remember where they go in a few months!!



Mike

Make sure you put all the bags in the same box

by september meetings should start to be easier, seems summer is hard on the hobby, i been so busy myself. (unfortunately the new machine itch is not gone thou...)

J'imagine que va se voir à un meeting éventuellement au cours de l'hiver. Bon déménagement !  

Congrats Mike!!! I hope to see you in a future meeting!!!

Good for you. Will be great to see you in person. If you need some help moving or setting up the pins when in Ottawa let me know. I am also good at testing them (playing them that is)  

Hopefully I get a house that has easy access to the basement/games room..


Thanks for the offer for help guys..  Getting my pins in da house is the mover's problem

hehe

Mike

...the price of a good steel door for the basement:  750$

... the cost of having a basement entrance done when making a new foundation for a house:  2500$

... using my basement entrance to bring in everything:  priceless...

Well it's done!!

Bought a house in Gatineau...  http://tinyurl.com/7wmhk

Moving in on Sep 15th.

And I have enough room for the pins..  Woohoo!!!  



See you guys soon!!!



Mike

looks nice Mike! maybe we will have a decent get together after the summer I know spacecadet28 (marty) tried but summer is dead. things might be good september october time for a big meeting.

Great to hear that you found a good place.

Thanks for the link, now I know where you will live so I can show up to play on your pins when you move here, lol  

Gatineau is a good place to be. Much cheaper than actually living in Ottawa, yet still very close to it.

Welcome to the neighborhood  

Well I sure hope to have some people over to play the pins!!

BTW this means that the T2 is no longer for sale..  I want 3 pins in this place!

Mike

More and more people are living here now !

Time for a fall meeting !
