Quoted from kruzman:

I can see some wax on the pf around a 1/2 in hole in the last pics that show the dowell work. that will get wiped off. here is a pic why I used to dislike this game. I hated the art. hated it. Once I played the game, I realized its one of the best in that era for sure. Mine was so beat up it was hard to love, since I dont enjoy owning player games.

Quoted from kruzman:

The chick to the left of him getting his nips bit off is creepy also. her eyes stare. she is judging, I can tell

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

definitely. I get depressed if I am not working, or being productive. I love to read, but its so hard for me to justify the time to read for pleasure like fiction. Often I will read psychology, self help, spiritual books, so I dont feel guilty since I am working on being better.

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

Now I remember why I dont do restorations any more. It takes me forever. here is some pics of the stuff that needs to be painted, plus all of the insert key lines need to be painted (thats a given from the hairline cracks). Today is my third day painting, and it should be done. Hopefully the decal Daane made for me looks good. Turns out all of the wood color has to be triple coated. Last night I quit while trying to match the green. On this individual pf the green didnt screen very well and you can see the white under it, so I may have to paint all of the green in that lane to make it look right

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

A good customer/friend is looking for a nos granny and the gators, or possibly one that can be restored fairly easy. Figured this would be a good place to start networking.

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

This NOS DR who was quite a bit of work for a nos, but now that they are 30-40 years old the NOS pfs are almost a resto job. Every nos that comes in now, I check the bottom and top edges for the laminate separating, and glue and clamp if necessary. I painted all of the inserts, and the arrow at the top l and the far bottom center hot dog insert had to be pulled and releveled, and then decaled.
The mini pf had to be cut out before I started because cutting it out after the clear would have left some crappy edges on both pfs.
The mini got hung up in the paint area, and I havent painted in a month, so its going to be a month on that, but this main pf is ready for installation.
It is not easy clearing a black pf like this. when you have 8 coats, you have 8 chances to screw up and burry a dustie or an issue, everything shows because the clear is a magnifier. Since its so perfectly flat and clear any imperfection looks like garbage

Quoted from kruzman:

Since I am a male of 55 years, and college, I think its safe to assume I watched caddy shack at least 50 times in my life. Probably many more. Now that I think of it, thats where I got the ditch digger theme. I got it from caddy shack. not my grandpa.
I am a horrible golfer, and I know that movie word for word.
Things I have held as gospel.... no dummy! you picked it up from caddy shack.
I walk around alone singing under my breath, "I was born to lick your face"

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

Back before the cops raided the compound in 08, most of my furniture was herman miller, heywood wakefield, and steelcase. In 1970 there were over 30,000 furniture makers in west mich, now less than 3000 total employees. I forget why I am talking about it. Oh plywood.

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

today is the first day it is dry enough to open the big door and sand out side. I took a couple progress shots. On the tron, its a nerve wracking job to sand because if I hit the ink its done. there is no touching up that kind of art/pf. I took some pics of when I have the light outside I can see the reflection of the low spots in the pf. Either the texture of the wood, or the height of several layers of ink. Its so important to get it all. This is just da sanding. I will do hand sanding after, since I can do it in or outside.

Quoted from kruzman:

So every girlfriend/wife I have ever lived with is cold at all times (a lot had to do with the way they dressed, some just wanted to whine) and always complaining that its too cold in the house.
So when I see these healthy young women hanging around in the cold vacuum of space, wearing just a thong... I gotta call BS!

OP

Quoted from kruzman:

Power came on at 10 ish this morning. Its 2 and I am still not to work yet.
