You know one of those girls I was writing about before? She invited me to see the band Rascal Flats. I went thinking that it would be fun. No affection, just going to a concert.
Ok. So I went to a country concert.. Something must be wrong in my head. I know.. I know.
So I suffer through Greg Allen (??) (Photo of ticket to come soon)
As I am waiting for Rascal Flatts, I talk to this girl and the thought hits me.
When she’s not busy being catty, this girl became attractive to me.
That freaked me out. I don’t know where I stand now.
Color me confused.
The concert was fun. Even got to hear some Bon Jovi (Shot through the heart).

Welp,
My latest toy is here. I finally got the FishTales machine in. It was on Monday. I was sitting over at Work and I got a call from the Van Lines. I was told that there was a “beat up pinball machine” for me to be delivered. I went to over to the local King Soopers and withdrew a hunk of cash to pay the shipper with. (I had to get a doughnut, which I threw away.
Then I camped out at my house until the tractor trailer showed up, drove by, then showed up again.
As I waited in anticipation, the guys opened up the trailor and I saw the pin. My first reaction was horror. The pin had been shipped on its legs! (this is a no-no, pins should be shipped on their sides!). Luckly for me, the damage was minimal. The glass/speakerbox were loose/broken. I had them take that of then we started to move the pin into the house.
Ah, time to start the restoration. The inside/outside of the pin are filthy. I decided to fix the playfield first. I took off the glass and found mylar (thin layer of plastic) all over it. The playfield was also filthy.
I decided to remove the mylar from the playfield. There are two ways to remove mylar. Heat or cold. I decided to use cold. I got a can of compressed air, turned it upside down and proceeded to slowly remove mylar. This left the glue. I then got some Goof-Off. That and a lot of elbow grease got rid of the glue.
There was a lot of mylar, even two layers at the boat ramp!
So now I am stripping the playfield. So far I haved gotten the following from Action Pinball
-Leg bolts
-Rubber set
-felt cabinet protetors
more restoration and photos sooa

Girls. I don’t understand them. Don’t think I ever will.
After 4 dry years I have 4 girls showing me attention. Two of those are ones that I was rebuffed from years before.
I am getting assaulted by one of them.
I just don’t know what to do…

I have been seriously thinking of relocating to Utah.
If you know of anything, let me know.

Looking for a girl that wants the chance to date the ‘Hardy’. Be aware that I am a Geek. I am into collecting pinball machines right now. I am also a photo geek. Did I mention that I am a geek. Oh, you need to be Mormon as well
So send me an e-mail

Well, I need to start off by saying how much I like Pocket MT. It is the little pocket program I use to post my blog entries on the net. It frankly rocks. I have been seriously thinking of moving over to wordpress but I need the equivalent of this little app before I do that. So that`s what is next on my platter. I got myself Visual Studio .Net
So I will be helping to write one app, for ward clerk stuff, another for wordpress related work.
Joy!
Oh, the pinballs should be on the way!
Besides that, I saw the Chronicles of Riddick. After Pitch Black, I was dissapointed.
