Quoted from NickyRicky:Throughout your travels, if you come across a nice Whirlwind example, let a brotha know!
It’s once of my favorites. I also get them.

You need a pallet? I have one I was getting ready to toss sitting in my driveway. I’m pretty close to you

I’ll grab it. I’m still on the road. Be back around next week.
Successful trip. I’ve been up surviving on topo Chico and cold press for 34 hours now; can’t even tell you how many miles I’ve logged. My WPT hosts sent me off with chips, a fresh turkey sandwich, and lot of gold fish and Diet Coke love pin people.
Hoping to bring a bunch of new stuff into MPLS next week, if all goes smoothly.

Any recommendations
No major troubles?
Quoted from chad:No major troubles?
No trouble at all. Left home for the road at 4am and found myself breaking down games at 8am the next day, and done by noon (loaded), just no sleep other than a few 15-30 minute power naps. Sometime I let my left or right brain sleep, by sleeping with one eye closed. Friend looked at me and said, you need sleep. Pulled myself out of the game.
Was on a huge tear, though....
Quoted from brobra:WtF is wrong with people???
I often wonder that.
Years ago in the newspaper, News Of The Weird section. A guy stabbed his wife 97 times. They asked him why he did it. He said he told her three times not to put the ketchup in front of the toaster.
LTG : )
Quoted from brobra:So, with no pinball, I’ve digressed to a the daily mail. Did this young gal name herself? WtF is wrong with people???I know I’m fucked up, but please....

If you’re reduced to reading this mate, get some sleep you need it.
I’m about to go to sleep....

Room for 1-5 games depending on the pickup and drop off on that line.
Props to my bro Vitty. He has established a solid reputation for a) owning the nicest and most desirable versions of games.
B) putting in the effort to get them there, or being savvy enough to pull the trigger on the real deal when everyone else is gun shy. I love big balls (Acdc). Vitty has a nice set.
Wake up, get though all these cities and then head to Wolf country. Clean, cold lake, few houses, fewer people, lots of wolves. (I’m a wolf). Fish, shoot trap, atv, swim, play cards, play EMs, fish swim more, see the Milky Way (almost Montana style) Sauna, and dive for that log that has all my lures.

Embedding 101: find a solid driver.
Boys and girls, we’ve got a train coming out of cleave, back to mpls; pinball heaven
Quoted from bigdaddy07:See you tomorrow! Hopefully the weather holds.
Thank you buddy. Yeah, I got jammed up, but it was a blessing in disguise. Many forces wanted me to fail, but I rallied through and coming out a winner.

I always assumed that pinball was most popular in Chicago but between successful sales and ops in the twin cities going back many decades I wonder if the twin cities is.

Chi Town is still Graceland, but MN/wi is hot, Texas is off the hook volatile like a Musky, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ohio, Penn, Indiana is the money pit.
It’s hard work, but wtf, I’m up for it. And by the way, I’m good a what I do, so this is my free advice.
I live by, honesty, transparency, good dealings, and win-wins. I’m out to develop good relations, period...if you do that, the a dry well will miraculously open.

Wave as you pass through Indianapolis. I just missed seeing if you could bring something here from Minneapolis. Maybe another time.
Quoted from RustyLizard:Nice stash of foam and cardboard.
The Home Depot....you can do it...we can watch.

I waved, sorry you missed me.
Thanks,

Great pic and great pick up.
One of the pinball podcasters should have you on for an interview. You are hitting it hard in terms of your commitment to pinball and finding pins. It’s really fascinating to watch this thread. I think you may be on your way to legendary status
Quoted from brobra:Got a nice joust 2 onboard; one of 600.
Cant thank you enough for helping me get my Joust 2! Service was top notch! If you are ever back in KC for a night we will get some BBQ.
