32C and not a cloud in the sky. A suprisingly good sized beach crowd for a Wednesday in early May. ( I wish I had brought my camera because you would not believe the boooooooobs on this "way too young for me" brunette walking along the shoreline. Every guys head turned and some got smacked by their wives/girlfriends for gawking) back to subject.
The grill was open and the games on the right wall had not changed, but the rest of the arcade has a good mix of new redemption games and vids and a brand spanking new IRONMAN. Why is this game way out here I do not know. Perfect condition, perfect slope + level, textbook tilt sensitivity, but best of all...IT IS FREAKIN' LOUD!!!! The volume was cranked up so when you play, everyone comes over to see what's going on. The exits are set wide open(which I understand is Stern's new factory default setting for all new games. I approve of this)
I made 82 mil. on my fifth game, so the bar is set. I am hopeful that game maintainence is improved this year compared to previous years. Last year's Sopranos was good at first ,but by summers end it was pitch black with dirt.
I had a friend who was renting a cottage up there about 3 minute walk to that arcade. That was 5-7 years ago? My kids liked it but htey were very young. My son is now 8 and at the Toronto Pinball Show he played a few pins and vids but mostly the Skeeball!

I was up in Midland today and though it was out of my way I drove down for a quick check of the games. I played 3 games of IM paid for one got a replay an matched for the 3rd. The still have the Game Show with the kids legs and a Family Guy. I was thinking they had a SM but it was the IM. Havent played IM other than at the T.O. Pinball show and liked it more this time.

I missed this post the first time around....oh that was YOUR son.....my foot still hurts from someone's darling flinging a ball all the way across the hall and rolling into my booth!
(I had to stop myself from buying that damn thing....I've been dreaming about a Skee Ball for the past 4 years. But whose got the room?!)
