WE made it! The pins made it in on piece, except SST, it got lost in transit (just kidding Tony). Here's some pics to prove it.

Picture 1 is of my truck and borrowed trailer
Picture 2 is of my Son Ryan (left), Wife Jana (middle), and me (right)
Picture 3 is of the pins loaded in the trailer
I'm going to install sidewall tiedowns, so I can haul the pins on their backs, so I can haul more.
We have a piece of Bob's invisiglass in SM for everyone to see how it is. It looks great, and I'm impressed with it.
I'd like to give a BIG shout out to Bob for donating a piece of his glass for a raffle prize for this event. I sure hope I win it!!!!
Quoted from Chrizg:I noticed that my gameshow has a weak left flipper when I was there today. I thought I had it fixed but guess I need to do a full rebuild.
It's a broke flipper. That's all it needs. It is twisting on the shaft, you can feel it. Nimble Pin found the problem. Bring a bat, and we'll get it fixed.

I'll take more pics today, and post them. Pictures don't do it justice, you must see it on person!!!
Nimble Pin and I golfed yesterday. He's a pretty good golfer. I wish he would have brought his bartender to caddie for us though...
Quoted from DougPiranha:Note to self...scratch expo...go to pinvitational.
Pinvatational, there is no substitue!!!
I'd like to give a Huge shout out to T_G, Jason for putting this together. My family and I are having a blast! I almost got a hole in one on 9, 16 inches away. Nimble Pin is my witness. 2 days to go, I'm still trying.
Thanks Jason, as AC/DC would say, You ROCK!
Quoted from Phoog:But! Let's please get the name right! Bob's Ultimate Pinball Glass from pinballglass.com
Sorry Bob. Your product is great. People are enjoying it, I know I am.

Sealclubber won Bob's Ultimate glass. He owns an AC/DC LTBR. I bet I know what it's going in. I'm very jealous. It really is a nice piece of glass.
Congrats Seal!!!
Quoted from The_Gorilla:OK, screw it. I won't skip a year. You heard it here first....2013 August 15 - 17th. Clean up on the 18th.
Damn, that's coming up quick, I better start planning now!
I just got home 10 mins ago. My family and I had a great time. We got to golf with Nimble, that was great. He's a good golfer! Toad Valley is a great course, make sure you bring your clubs for next year. It was a privilege to chaufer you around NP, and look forward to doing it again next year, if you can make it. I met some great pinsiders/people. The list is long, and in no specific order. T_G, NP, Sivlerballer (next year, I plan on playing disc golf with you!), PHPG, NV, TM, SC, PB22, and many more.
I have some great pics to upload, but will do it tomorrow, as I can barely keep my eyes open. We left Wed morning, got back tonight, and put 1197 miles on the old truck.
Nimble, my makeshift tie-down system worked great. No issues, all pins made it to their owners in one piece. I hope your flight went well, and you have a couple great days of unwinding. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me, and I look forward to learning more from you next year.
Bill aka ThePostmaster (you guys can now verify my handle is most appropriate!)
Quoted from The_Gorilla:I miss you goofy clowns.
Not me, I'm too tired. I'll start missing you guys tomorrow.
I'll put a stop to the Mr. 14 hugs. He tried to get everyone to sign his wrist band. Nimble didn't want his picture taken, but I managed to get a couple. Here they are, 1st one is him winning his Marco shirt, 2nd one is him doing his Gorilla immitation, 3rd is with my wife. sorry Nimble...
Quoted from Pinballer22:Looks like the trailer mods worked out good!!
They worked great, no problems!!!
