I buy a couple Powerball and Mega Millions tix just for funsies..id start an animal shelter, take care of my parents, college fund for my sister's kids..

Oh fix my pipe that just broke WTF. We had them worked on 2 months ago and if I see it right he capped off a pipe that runs right next to the foundation that I wanted cut back. Jesus Christ..no cold water in my only bathroom

 

Yeah that's what I thought. He was shooting up right in his neck or at least that's what my wife said. I'm too squeamish to watch anyone shoot up to get high. It's not needles per say (I'm fine if they are giving medicine or taking blood) it is just when people are getting high. We cover our eyes but my wife looked and they weren't done showing it yet. I get the heevy jeevies when I see that stuff

Call that asshole back and have them fix it again. This time the right way

 

Hope the basement didn't flood to much. One of the heating elements in my water heater let go awhile back and dumped a good amount of water into the basement. Always a headache

 

Crawlspace..old house. I'm not very confident in his work if I can see it's a bad idea and know nada about how this stuff is done. Tool on some water in there too but not sure how much, nothingg I can do though

 

My Christmas presents from my wife



Our Christmas present to the family. A arcade machine with 60 classic video games. All the Pacman's, Centipede, Donkey Kong etc

 

Love the arcade game. Whhere did you find that?

 

That's bad ass on the arcade!!!!!!!!!! Trying to convince my wife to let me buy a used pinball machine and put it downstairs at our house since we have a raised ranch. Problem is, with one kid and a 2nd on the way, that's where their toys will be mainly, so thinking about putting a small "addition" on the house, as a playroom, right off of the dining room upstairs where part of the deck currently is. Hopefully those of you that are familiar with raised ranches know what I mean!

 

Damn that arcade machine is sweet

 

I got it from a guy at my work. He has over 75 machines. Some of them are pinball machines. This guy owns 2 houses right next to each other. One is a single family and the other is a 3 family. He took the 1st floor and turned it into his private bar/playroom with a bunch of his games in it. Let me see if I can find a picture

 

We had one of those additions right off from the main living area by the kitchen at our old house, a raised ranch. But it was a screen porch. We could have turned it into living space, but it was absolutely awesome as a screened in covered area for grilling or dinners during the summer so we left it as it was.

 

Cool! I've seen that around here. A house down the road from my has something like that. We're thinking about it, because of the kids, so it would have to be a living space to hopefully "free up" room around the house from all of their toys.

 

My friend Joe's arcade. Mind you this is not even half of it. I think it's 5 rooms in all and every inch of this place is decorated including the monsters coming out of the shower in the bathroom and the fridge painted like a stones. Check out the airbrushed walls, overhead train, neon lights and you might not be able to tell but he has laser lights too. That's Joe in the red shirt in the middle



The clown is at one of those sit down machines and it has a TNT handle that when you push it down the clown thrashes all around while screaming at you while his eyes bouncing all around on springs. It's a really fun place

 

Bar slash arcade you say? How does one become friends with Joe?

 

Everyone becomes friends with Joe. All you have to do is meet him. Lol

 

That's fantastic! Does he have Hard Drivin'? That game made me a lover of manual transmissions a decade before I could legally drive.

That addition for the raised ranch definitely makes sense. A porch would be nice, but who's to say you couldn't put the porch off of the addition. The only downfall will be that you'll lose some of the light from your kitchen window.

I just bought a creeper and some ATF. My truck seems to be shifting a little wonky, so I'm going to check the ATF level. Had the fluid changed (drain and fill) 10K ago, but who knows if they actually checked it properly or just dumped in what they took out. I'd take it it to the dealer since it's only got 40K on it, but I suspect I'll either get "operating as designed" or "you have a lift, better luck next time." I wish it was easier to check it though. Could they have made it any more complex? Anyone here have success getting the pinging TSB completed at a dealer around here? I've read that helps the wonky shifting as well. I can't run anything but 93 in my truck.

EDIT: On a side note, I still have $38 to spend at the local Toyota dealership b/c of a rewards program. Is the black Baja/Pro TRD emblem lame, or should I just buy it to sell it on eBay or something.

 

Hot Damn that's sweet.

 

No but he does have a Outrun sit down game as well as regular spy hunters, pole position and a ton of other games and pinball machines. He has a bowling game that just uses a track ball that is a ton of fun. I don't remember it at an arcade when I was little

Morning everyone!

 

Hello???

 

Bueller?
