Guess you won’t be needing that silly old Sorcerer any longer and you’ll be tossing it out…right? 
Quoted from Dent00:"silly" sorcerer... He He He... That's cute. Almost sounds like a new game.
Yea, he’s got my old game and I miss it!!! Of all the games I’ve sold over the years, I miss that one the most.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Yea, he’s got my old game and I miss it!!! Of all the games I’ve sold over the years, I miss that one the most.
You can come visit it anytime that you want, I’m taking good care of it.
I love my JP pro. Congrats on picking up both!
Quoted from Nevus:Mando was lonely, so this followed me home today
That is nice! Congrats on the new game. It shoots mighty fine.
Zukboy2002 came to LC this weekend and we got a lot of maintenance and upgrades in. I think we have sourced the problem that has been plaguing my TZ in Multiball, ordered some parts.
Sold solar ride to a fellow league member this afternoon (who has an incredible set up for pinball at his house, wow!) and took in a BSD on temporary loan from Jodester I’ll have two BSDs for a little while, which is awesome.

Traditionally, I have a Fall and Spring gathering. Last year’s events were in October and January.
James has his coming up in October. Sadly, I have to miss. 
10/9/21 Nuttin’ Special in da Shed
11/13/21 Houston Arcade Show
I may do a small gathering in September, depending on COVID. I’m thinking a non-tournament party like last fall. It was a good time.
If you have not seen the news, we are in a massive COVID wave now. Louisiana is being hit hard and it is mostly affecting the non-vaccinated. Please be careful.
Just sharing info about a huge auction out west in CA in Sep.

Quoted from Nevus:Mando got some orange plastic protectors and clear Titans. It turned out nice.
How are you enjoying it? How’s the audio and light show? We are eagerly anticipating the eventual arrival of our premium.

That looks great Chris!
Thanks!
Mando is fun. I’m pretty low play on my games (as usual), but it hits all the marks for me. It’s has good integration of theme with speech and music. The shots aren’t too hard. I can’t speak to rules as I just bang the ball around most of the time.
I’m very pleased with both of Brian Eddy’s new games. It helps that I really like both themes.
I’ve got some JP mods to put on soon as well.
We are awaiting the arrival of our GnR LE today. It looks like it make it in this afternoon. 
I hope to see everyone soon. Tiger said he spoke with Dennis and the Mafia will come stream the unboxing of Ultraman when it arrives, which should be sometime over the next few months.
Not to be a debbie downer, but things are about to get rough down here in S LA due to Hurricane Ida.
https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/spaghetti-models-tropics-tropical-storm-hurricane
Let's hope Zukboy in Houma, LA makes it thru ok. He's plannin to hunker down w/ family down there.
I offered that he can ride it out up here in Lafayette, LA.
As of now, it appears that Laf will be on the good side of the storm.
So we are watchin it and plannin to stay home here in Laf.
However, it is predicted to strengthen to cat 3 and possibly cat 4.
If storm track shifts west, then may need to haul ass out of here.
Grand Isle, LA may get wiped out. The huge Ride the Bull kayak fishin tournament in Grand Isle is canceled.
Storm surge and rain fall are gonna be a problem in SE LA and S MS.
Thankful that storm is likely to not hit Lake Charles and SW LA. They had enough of that in 2020.
Hurricane Laura came thru about Aug 27, 2020, basically 1 yr ago.
FYI, traffic is effed up in Baton Rouge currently, ...worse than normal on a Fri late afternoon/evening.
Stay hydrated everyone. 
Hey friends. Stranger things UV kits are reported to be in stock at Marco and Cointaker. These are hard to come by and I am told this may be the last run.

Game report?
I have enjoyed mine. I played it with factory settings for a while to get a feel for it.
Recently, I turned up my flipper power and noticed a change for the better!
GnR LE arrived and plays great.

Also, brought TMNT to its new home. Paul has built up an impressive collection in a very short time:

Just giving a brief update related to Hurricane Ida.
Zukboy in Houma informed that he still has a roof on his house, and house is not flooded.
Winds were bad today and still blowing down there in Houma. Storm sat there for hours earlier today (Sunday 8/29/21).
He had some trees/large branches fall on game room bldg, so that does not sound good.
It is dark out now, so better assessment can be done tomorrow.
I didn't keep him on the phone long, and was glad to hear he is ok.
I offered that we can come down there and help out if needed.
Quoted from ElCid95:Got a new addition to my game room today. Looks like I’m the first to get this in Louisana!

That's awesome Chip!!
Quoted from TigerLaw:What is everyone’s current Stern lineup in the Gulf Coast thread?
scotts-pins (resized).jpgWe were in California for a cousin's memorial when Ida hit. We delayed our return because of it. Monroe was spared. No power outages even. Wishing a speedy recovery for those not so fortunate.
Played a little pinball while in L.A. Neon Retro Arcade in Pasadena has a The Mandalorian (Pro) It was fun, but the assembly at the top of the main ramp had a busted weld, and metal was blocking making the ramp. Frustrating. Other than that, it shot pretty smooth!

She’s a beauty and fun to play.

Beautiful, love this backglass. I wish it were easier to find EMs in this state.
Hello Neighbors. I sure hope everyone is doing ok after that nasty hurricane last week. Got power back and moving on already?
Just a bit over 2 months before it is showtime!! If you have a pinball machine you would like to bring to the 2021 Houston Arcade and Pinball Expo, please PM me so I can add it to the game list. You will get a free weekend pass for each pin you bring. Don't forget to get your hotel room reserved ASAP!!
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Don't forget to get your hotel room reserved ASAP!!
Yep, we are already booked and ready to party. I think I have the room for four or five nights…really glad a show is happening. Going to be a great weekend.
