I mentioned this in Mary Ellen's thread, but I thought it deserved another airing...
I want to say a big, huge thanks to Mary Ellen (Medvet) for hauling my World Poker Tour from Ottawa to London on Friday. She has been trustworthy, a great communicator and extremely good to deal with throughout the whole processes of purchasing this machine from jvegas. The deal would not have gone ahead without her commitment to get the game from Ottawa to the South-West.
Thanks also to Adam (Vengeance) for helping me move the machine into my basement. Getting machines into my house can be a bit of a challenge, but with the two of us veteran pin movers on the job, it was nothing.
AND.... a MAJOR thanks is also due to Duane (TwilightZone) for pulling out a 9th-inning save and getting the machine from Jim's place to ME's place. I can't thank you enough and I owe you one BIG TIME.
To everyone else: Don't ever let anyone tell you that Maaca isn't a fantastic community. The VAST majority of members here are kind-hearted, considerate pin-heads.
I second that sentiment! I'd have a tough time finding another group of guys (and gal) as fantastic as this.

I'm going to hop on this love train and thank ME and Duane as well!! Without you guys, i wouldn't have gotten this Bad Cats pin (a pin that I've wanted for quite some time now).
Thanks to you both.. and as always, it was a pleasure seeing you again, ME.

Ok, so let make it complete and I would also like to thank ME again for delivering my I-500 and Adam for helping me carry it downstairs. It was much appreciated.
And if you helped ME load the I-500 in the van, thanks also to Duane.
It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!
So I guess it is my turn now. I would like to thank ME for getting me in touch with Duane when I was looking for a CV and Duane for helping me to transport and Duane and Alex (Cheg) for helping me move it my basement.

Been away from my computer today and come back tonight and see this thread. Made my night . Thank you!
I appreciate all the thanks guys but not a big deal. For carrying a few pins etc in the van, I ended up having a great day with fun driving company in the van (Adam) and played some pinball and enjoyed great hospitality at everybodys. I figure a couple of more visits at Coreys with a few lessons on old Sterns and I might finally get those games. Lightning definitely was very fun. It was also a blast to visit with Tom and Tom (Poolman and Tslam) I definitely have to make expo this year and go dumpster diving with Tslam .
Anyways, pinball is for enjoying with friends and it's no fun having machines if you don't share them with some of the other crazy people who can appreciate the insanity of collecting and fixing these things. So thank you again and like cooke said, MAACA is a great community and I have made many great friends both close and far in the last few years. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

PS Speaking of playing pinball with friends, see my other thread...............
I appreciate all the thanks guys but not a big deal.
That's not what we were saying when we were playing pinball tetris and trying to fit BC in your van! How many times did we put the game in, only to take it out, flip and try again? Three time? Man, I was sore the next day. Seriously, glad it all worked out for everyone.
