3 Daze and a wake up!!!!
Looks like a lot of rain this weekend
I don’t know what that will mean for a lot of festivities like Sparkys BBQ, but hopefully it still happens and we can get a group pic like last year. Speaking of that, I made a bunch of 5”x10” prints of Arts photo of it from last year, I’ll have them at the BBQ (hopefully if its still on!) to give out to everyone that was in it.
Sadly the BBQ will be the end of the weekend for me as I have unavoidable obligations. I will be there all day Thursday for set up though and all day Friday. Very slight chance I return Sunday with my son, but not counting on it.

I'm seeing a strong maybe on Thursday, and then another mebbe on Sunday afternoon.
I'ma still rolling the dice on the campcade daddio. We'll be fine...
The pinball godz will smile upon us.

It still looks better than where I am coming from.
Ugh RAIN? I guess I can't bring my truck and have to bring my wife's car. That means I can only bring home 1 game!

Just get yourself a camper shell!!!
Rain! Boo. Hopefully the pinball gods will bless us with some dry weather for people transporting by truck. My Mars Trek may not make it if the rain is really dumping!
I have been working the midnight oil the past few weeks, and at the 11th hour, I finally finished this! Have one or two little tweaks to work out, but my minty fresh playfield swap Xenon is coming! Wohoo!

The latest update.
Quoted from mrgone:It will be great! No Matter what the weather is like!
Im remembering how damn hot it was in 2016. Sounds like great
weather to me. Everyone stay dry and have fun. Wish i could make
it, working all weekend.
Break a leg and have a amazing weekend team GSPF!
Quoted from mark532011:It has begun fir me. 1000 miles of pouring rain but i am on my
way![quoted image]
Wow! Drive safe!
I'm stopping in Sparks NV to meet with Rick from Planetary Pinball, that should be fun. We are both ex-HP.
They own all the Bally/Midway licensing stuff. Should have a story to tell.
Quoted from Mthomasslo:although team one is an aab, it still has a credit unit on the motor board, similar to the semicircular units used on mid 70’s Gotliebs. To covert to free play, just short or close the zero position contact, or disconnect the subtract coil.
Brilliant! I did find the Credit Unit on the Motor Board. Didn't know it was there!
Since I was following Clay's guide to EM's and his switch technique, I never thought that it would have that part. You learn something new each day!
I will try to adjust the Zero Position contact tonight and see if I can get rid of switch.
Thanks to Mthomasslo and pinballholder for their help!

Probably wouldn't fit in the old Civic ) - :
Flash!!! 3 more games added to the tournament games list. Taxi, stern Star Trek, and Mars god of war.
I'll be there this weekend with my Pinside badge around my neck. Please say hello if you see me. Especially those who we've messaged back and forth in the past. It's always good to put a face with the name or Pinside icon.
Quoted from 72Devilz:Staged and ready to load, picked up ample tarps to keep things dry on the trip down from the foothills. See you all Friday!

Looking good Jody!
mark532011... WOW Mark, very impressive to be riding your hog, in the rain, 1,000 miles to this show.

Are these games available for non tournament play on Saturday? I've never played Taxi and it's on my list of games I'd like to play.

Right now we have 3 Taxis signed up
Quoted from fireball2:Rolling tomorrow morning
If you need a pit stop, you can stop by my place in Fresno!
Anybody flying into or driving by Sacramento Thursday evening and want to ride into Lodi together?

Oh My! You're going to have a lot of fun at this show!
I'm staying in Ely tomorrow night.
Talk about hospitality! I'm told that they have "mobile entertainment units" that visit your room all hours of the night hoping for a retainer.
I'm going for the sleep, sorry!
