    Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

    I confess I pooped my pants and continued to cut my lawn for the next 45 minutes.

    You are two for two for the best confessions.

    Edit: Plus, you did a two.

    Quoted from LTG:

    I'm just not in the Christmas mood this year.

    Same. Thanksgiving was nonexistent since almost all of my family is not in MN anymore. Sometimes they get together in GA but that didn’t happen for them either. Figured if they did I could get motivated to go down there and check in on Little Johnny.

    Christmas will likely be the same. On the bright side no family drama. Lots of road rage on the 494/694 loop last Wednesday I could feel it and see it.

    I was going to do some shopping online for Black Friday and cyber Monday and resisted a lot of great deals. So far I’ve bought 4 pair of work pants and was charged sales tax. I thought no clothing tax in MN even online. I need to save up for a new washer/dryer since the bearings are shot on my washer and has been leaking grease for some time but it’s maximum capacity continues to decrease. Plus it’s got a leak too.

    #9803 1 year ago

    I confess it seems like smaller snow events are becoming a bigger deal. Supposed to get 2.5” tomorrow and they’re already declaring a winter storm warning? That never happened years ago.

    I confess I miss thunderstorms I feel like we’ve been missing them for the last couple summers.

    Quoted from EJS:

    bought 4 pair of work pants

    Confess I buy all my blue jeans for working at Goodwill for 4 bucks a pair. Every pair has always been just like brand new.

    They have some nice Hawaiian shirts there also, that I would love to have, but for whatever reason they are all way too big for me.

    Oh yeah, it got stupid several years ago when they started naming winter storms like they were hurricanes or something.

    Depending where you are, some areas 6+".

    Kind of on a line from me to Duluth.

    For low pressure systems that produced snow? I suppose snow can do damage just like hurricanes too.

    They can have the snow. I have plans later in the day that take me south and I’m not looking forward to it.

    I miss Duluth. I used to go there for work sometimes but not anymore. As a kid I saw Duluth long before I saw the ocean so the lake was cool to see.

    Snow is coming in Colorado tomorrow as well.

    #9810 1 year ago

    I hope we can get some snow here eventually, it has been a while.

    Confess I am glad it never lasts over 2-3 days though.

    My effort to lift my Christmas spirits and get me in the mood.

    Be sure and sing to the tune of I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. Or at least get the tune stuck in your head.

    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake for Christmas
    Only a Punchy The Clown Remake will do ( or EFL )
    I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) to play with and enjoy
    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) for Christmas
    I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
    He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
    Just bring it through the front door
    That's the easy thing to do
    I can see me now on Christmas morning
    Creeping down the stairs
    Oh, what joy and what surprise
    When I open up my eyes
    To see my Pinchy ( or EFL ) hero standing there
    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) for Christmas
    Only a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) will do
    No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
    I only like Punchy The Clown Remakes ( or EFLs )
    And Punchy The Clown Remakes ( or EFLs ) like me too
    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) for Christmas
    A Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) is all I want
    Mom says the Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) would eat me up
    But then teacher says Fred Young is a vegetarian
    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) for Christmas
    The kind I saw this Spring at TPF
    There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
    I'd play him there and wash him there
    And give him his massage
    I can see me now on Christmas morning
    Creeping down the stairs
    Oh, what joy and what surprise
    When I open up my eyes
    To see my Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) hero standing there
    I want a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) for Christmas
    Only a Punchy The Clown Remake ( or EFL ) will do
    No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
    I only like Punchy The Clown Remakes ( or EFLs )
    And Punchy The Clown Remakes ( or EFLs ) like me too

    Christmas is very easy for me.

    1. Send my mom a very good Christmas card, she is a freak about Christmas cards.

    2. Get my girlfriend a bunch of lotto scratch off tickets, her favorite thing.

    Other than that, just another day of the year for me.

    I celebrate birthdays more than anything, and even with those I always work on my birthday, because that is what I want to do.

    Confess I was very sick last week, thought I may die a few times, but I am getting better now, and it feels very good.

    Weird how my taste buds are slow to get back to normal, confess while I always really, really liked beer, so far it does not taste good at all.

    Oh well, I am just glad that I am alive and drinking beer and goofing off on here again.

    #9813 1 year ago

    Confess I love being "online", on my computer goofing off on Pinside.

    Confess I hate having to go "online" to take care of other things.

    Recently I needed to go to the courthouse to renew a permit, and I had to make that appointment "online", and it was a pain in the ass.

    Last week, I needed to make an appointment to go to urgent care, had to do that "online", and it was a pain in the ass.

    And of all things, last night I wanted fish from Captain D's, have not had any in over 3 years, I get to the menu board at the drive thru to order, and they tell me that they are only taking orders "online".

    Needless to say, I picked up food from somewhere else, and I will never go back to that place again.

    Bill and his Big Arse Van came to mine to pick up a machine i'd swapped and take it to Brisbane yesti.

    He had a present on board for me, that he'd bought on my behalf.

    I'd told him i was looking for an LAI cocktail and he delivered in spades.

    Take five, i love it, but confess i can't figure out how to start a game.

    Looks like no credits.

    Confess I really enjoyed the USA beating Iran in the world cup to advance. Go USA

    #9817 1 year ago
    Quoted from poppapin:

    Yes, but coins don't add them, neither does playing with the mechs.

    #9818 1 year ago

    I feel Cyber Monday deals were kind of duds. I know some of that is attributed to lingering supply chain issues. Perhaps there were deals on stuff I wasn't particularly shopping for.

    #9819 1 year ago
    Quoted from poppapin:

    That was the most nail biting futbol I'm seen in a while.

    #9820 1 year ago

    Is it like an arcade with a button inside to press for free credits? Or can it just be set to free play. I’m sure there is a manual online.

    Quoted from punkin:Yes, but coins don't add them, neither does playing with the mechs.

    #9822 1 year ago

    > Is there a way to set the CPU jumpers on an Allied Leisure Take Five so that it's free-play? IPDB states that the game is convertible to do add-a-ball or free-play, but I wasn't sure if it was a typo and supposed to say add-a-ball and replay. I have the game options document and there is no mention of free-play mode.

    Nope, its not an option to do freeplay. IPDB is in error. And since it doesn't have memory, you cant easily do the "low replay score" trick. The easiest thing is to mount a credit switch on the coin return button.

    I confess I’m too tired to put together a NIB rotisserie for playfields. Long day. Can’t remember the last time I started so early.

    In my further attempts to get in the Christmas spirit.

    Everybody stops and stares at me
    These two pins are gone as you can see
    I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe
    But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as can be
    All I want for Christmas is my PTCR and EFL
    My two favorite pins
    See my two favorite pins
    Gee, if I could only have my two favorite pins
    Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"
    It seems so long since I could say
    "Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
    Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be, if I could only whistle
    All I want for Christmas is my two favorite pins
    My two favorite pins
    See my two favorite pins
    Gee, if I could only have my two favorite pins
    Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"
    It seems so long since I could say

    Thanks guy, little ol me had got that far and i had both the manual online and the service updates with the jumper switch positions that you are referring before i posted.

    Haven't got that far into it to look at the jumpers, out of my wheelhouse. My tech will be here in the next week or two, and i have two machines incoming (restored NBA Fastbreak and an Alien SV), but i''m sure they'll have issues, so i'll wait for then.

    #9826 1 year ago

    After freezing all night pumping off a barge, I was kind of happy when it sprang a leak. I’m now sitting on a warm boat smoking cigarettes with a nice view. I hope the mechanic takes the rest of my shift to fix it.

    Stay warm and enjoy them darts! I came here to confess that one of sparky's shoes broke off and wedged under the metal bracket right beside it. The confession is that i noticed it over a month ago but it hasn’t moved and i never bothered to fix it yet! It's out on location and still earning money!
    *yes, it's the custom sparky in my avatar. Stern should have made the feet a separate piece.

    #9828 1 year ago

    I bought $100+ Scanpan saucepan with heavy copper encased base solely for doing green butter.

    I went thru my worst commute ever yesterday. Maybe 5-6” of snow, mixed w very icy roads..add unprepared road crews n shitty drivers w inadequate tires..a 30 mile commute took me just under 11 hours to get home! I confess that I had 3 darts in my company vehicle, n it’s not allowed. But did see a cyclist on the freeway, sorry for the blurry pix..

    #9846 1 year ago

    I had a couple of posts modded on the Funny Captions thread. One about Kanye and one about the pope talking about bugs and the afterlife. I prolly need to spend less time on Reddit. I guess Ye is political now that he’s running in ‘24, and therefore off-limits.

    (I’m not disagreeing with the mod’s decision. But like they say, “tilting is trying”)

    Confess that I don’t miss drinking, and I don’t missing posting while drunk. Hopefully this will improve the quality of my Pinside posts.

    I love to give to others. I 3D print a ton and I make flipper keychains and hand them out at league night. I tell them it’s part of league but it’s not, it’s just me giving out smiles.
