While the guys work away on the little things in the basement like touch-ups and access covers, I've been trying to visualize the space and tracking down a few things to PUT in the basement. I've been hunting kijiji for a mannequin torso(s) to display my game used Isles jerseys...who knew...

Re: Price Check LOTR Gold Picturs added I missed it...never saw it before. Had to google to find it. Now that I found it, it can't be avoided. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the contractor's assistants arrived this morning with some building materials, gave my kid a high five as he always does, and proceeded to the basement. Seconds later, I hear his boisterous voice call out: "YES!! FINALLY A BASEMENT THAT ISN'T BEIGE!!" The orange is done, and much of...

Trophies? "Dumbest Pinball Purchase of 2014" for the promised Bugs Bunny Birthday Ball? The only chance I'll have to claim this space is if she decides to relocate to one of the upstairs kid rooms when they fly the nest... Three power outlets in there for the record. Overkill. But its up to...

Imelda Marcos, first lady of shoes, was the answer to a trivia question that won my wife a $50 shoe gift certificate recently. Luckily for us, her hobby costs relatively little as she's constantly winning these gift certificates and on the hunt for deeply discounted shoes and other girly...

Ya...that would have been a great idea to wrap it in carpet! A buddy also suggested it. Its boxed in now, though. They are going to be painted white for the time being. I may paint them myself later one of the main colours (blue or orange) if it's not "too much on the eyes".

Trim finished up on Sunday afternoon, onto paint. I was working the past two days, and my wife went to the basement for a quick inspection on Monday after the painters had left...she texted and said the blue they used was a way lighter shade than she remembered me selecting but said she liked...

"Leaping" Lanny Poffo...what a gimmick. A good-guy jobber who lost to the stars and read poems written on frisbees which he then threw into the crowd. Saw him wrestle many times at Maple Leaf Gardens--jobbers (Poffo, Barry O, Iron Mike Sharpe, etc.) were used often at these Toronto shows to...

A photo from one of the gamerooms in the Olympic Village... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coincidence...just played a Banzai Run last night at Drano's place...Nate plays one at Modern Pinball NYC and talks about it in this episode of C2C. COAST2COAST PINBALL - Episode 61 - "Empire Haunted House or It Ended With Sparky" Post...

Finishing touches on the mud/tape/sanding this morning...yes, on a Saturday. Trim guy comes tomorrow...yes, on a Sunday. Seems the snow last Wednesday put a few schedules out of whack. Now we are reaching a point in the progress where photos may actually be interesting...rather than just...

Datenight with the wife at the local Cineplex here in Burlington. Had a Metallica in the arcade area, two tokens per play. Fifteen tokens for five bucks. Seemed reasonable. Replay set really low and match percentage really high, so I still had a pocket full of tokens when I walked away, and...

A handful of EMs and a Comet last time I was there. It should be listed on the Canadian Pinball Tracker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eyes open, gents, for unwanted/unloved System 11s for your old pal in Burlington...!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sad to see. I was there about a year back. Big selection of pins...MM, MB, AFM, TAF, G&R, etc. Upkeep of the games and facility itself left a bit to be desired, and it's a common complaint from the locals as well (I've heard "It ain't what it used to be" many, many times about the basement...

That's Pinball, Baby!™ ...so we don't get sued for a copyright violation.

Finally got around to listening to Ep. 2 of the Pinheadz Podcast (linked above). WOW. Great production quality. Sounds more like a polished radio show than a podcast. Hosts have great chemistry, and are obviously passionate about the hobby. If you thought, as Canadians, we are...

Can't access that video at work...does it actually say Gomez is the designer? I will have to go back and read the note that Trudeau sent along with my Creech autograph, as he directly mentioned the Mustang and Walking Dead designs...I don't think he actually came out to *say* he was the...

This Coop-inspired art package is the way to go...a step up from what was originally released. Stern must have thought this as well, as their Luci "re-theme" echoes the same sentiment. Folks are happy with their Shadow kits, hopefully this one is produced with the same care. As per...

Nate buys an EM from Keith Elwin. Not a wedgehead either. A Williams Sky Lab. And gets permission to set it up in the living room. COAST2COAST PINBALL - Episode 60 - "Reeling in the EM or The Gravity of Skylab" Post...
