Other than polar bears I guess. I have done some fishing in total seclusion for arctic char up in the high arctic. Never strayed far from my trusty shotgun though. 1 in the barrel and 4 in the stock. First 3 are 3 shot last two are slugs. 1 for the bear and the last for yourself if all that doesn't work.  

I am on the "west side" of the Op. I am in a hotel in Yellowknife, got a chairforce ride on this one

I'm Geoff,

I have been in the amusement industry since the mid 80's, I started at Future Amusements, Impirial arcade at 327 Bank St. Ottawa. I have been repairing pinball and video games for over 20 years. Now I am an Operator and game techincian. I have aquired over 20 years of parts, I should try sort and sell them some day. I still love to play pinball.

My name is Chris, imaginative screen name eh? I have worked in the environmental field for about 30 years, now as the Environmental Supt. for the City of Owen Sound. Drawn into pins about 5 years ago by a friend with a collection. Never occured to me you could own your own pinball machine. Love fixing EM's and just getting into SS machines with a Sinbad purchase earlier this month. Understanding wife, 11 working pins upstairs right now, mostly in the family room and a few projects in the basement.  Do most of my repairs upstairs though, as she likes to have me around. She likes to play too! (pinball that is).

My name is Dave Astill , i have been heavily involved with pins since bringing home a bally playboy in 1993 . I have 2 kids and just celebrated my 20 year anniversary . I live in Collingwood Ontario and invite anyone who is skiing in the area to stop in for a few games. I sell real estate , or at least try to , and have a dj business as well.

I am surprized I had not already posted on this tread...
My name is Sylvain, and I am addicted to pinball machines

I am an engineer, still working at Nortel in Product Verification
(fiber optic transmission/reception equipment incl. DWDM & others).
Mostly software-related, but we do provide some input to hardware designers too.
Making sure the products will meet various standards requirements, quality, and
customer requirements & expectations. Fun, but often long hours and pressure.
...With all that is occuring with Nortel lately, I am unsure how much longer I'll be there !!

With regards to pinball machines, I bought my first EM project (a 1968 Williams Daffie) in 1982.
It's been 27 years of fun repairing and collecting 100s of machines since then, during my
limited spare time after work and family!

Cheers,
- Sylvain.

owner of a tattoo shop.  i haven't tattooed in around 20yrs.  but i have been piercing around 17yrs.  tattooing is in my family's history.
  great uncle started tattooing in 1890 and he is kind of famous.  he was counted back in day as one of the worlds most tattooed man.  sailor joe simmons was my great uncle and he also was the man to start sailor jerry into the industry.  sailor jerry is more famous (you should try his rum).

Sailor Jerry rum is really good. I have (half) a bottle at home right now.

I am a City Planner.  

I have been restoring PINS for about 3 years now.  Started with EM, moved up to SS, now at DMD.  I also enjoy good arcade games and rare EM machines.  

My ambition to to create the best and most diverse gamesroom I can, so that all my family and friends can enjoy it. Even if they don't care for pinball.

Hi all

Name's Alex and I'm presently employed with the federal gov. as a graphic designer (a title I use quite loosely in a template-based environment).

Past jobs include bellman, server, daycare teacher, tour guide in Peru and Bolivia, owner/operator of a clown and entertainment company, ESL teacher in Korea and the list goes on.

I have recently started a screen printing company with a partner so guess who hopes to do the next MAACA batch of shirts?!!

Re. pinball, can't have more than one machine at a time in the house so Sparky's custom Ultra Mame project 1 is what I presently own. I miss pinball...
