    If you end up near me, you're more than welcome to the spare room for a night or two.
    And you could work out a couple of operational kinks that my one lonely EM has.
    If you want to take a stab at some SS work, there's always plenty of that.

    (Not sure of your schedule, but maybe think about coming for Pinball at the Zoo. Easy one hour drive from me.)

    Love the retro pic.
    Were the appliances Harvest Gold or Coppertone Brown? Ours were Brown.

    Wow. I had no idea. This is a "budget" trip!

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    It was a smoothly-paved, undulating twist through purple redbud blooms under crystal-grey cloudburst skies.

    Umm............. I apologize in advance for the roads in Michigan. Sights are fine, but the ride is.......an acquired taste.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    I should have one, but so far I've resisted because of the way they look. There is a limit as to how dorky I will allow this hobby to make me.

    Embrace your inner dork. There is no substitute for using a headlamp as far as getting light where you need it.
    Plus, since I deer hunt, I can use it for walking in to my stand in the early morning darkness.

    Quoted from Puffdanny:

    Who's hosting Nic in MI?

    Seems like Ryan Claytor mentioned a stop at his place.
    There are two of us over here that Nic is scheduled to see, but we're a bit of a drive from you.

    Who knew that the BF hammer is a pinball tool?

    Hah! And you just called someone a nerd a few posts back! NERD!

    This whole thread was great.
    Great to have my Gulfstream working correctly. Even better to meet you.
    Glad you made it home safely.
    Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

    If you need a place to stop east of Chicago, you're more than welcome here.
    Might not even make you fix anything........

    That video interview is great, but Nic should have been wearing a headlamp.

    That's much better than the average news story where the headline begins with "Texas Man.............."
    Or "Florida Man........." or "Michigan Man.................." for that matter.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Aesthetically, I admit the gloppy, wet cardboard appearance of Huel isn’t particularly tantalizing. But darn it, the stuff gets the job done! HUEL is PINBALL FUEL!

    Never heard of this before. Way, way, way too Soylent Green.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Pardon the silence. I'm working nearly 90 hours a week. Tomorrow will be my first day off. I think I'll buy groceries. Yes, groceries. I need those.

    Don't kill yourself Nic. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
