    Thank you for sharing your story, they sounded like great kids. I went ahhh when reading about the departure. I'm sure its a memory they will treasure for a very long time. I hope everyone stays in touch with each other. I'm sure your kids would love Japan if they went over there :-)
    I come & go as I please (only if I really want to).

    Makoto just contacted us from Japan. He's in his early twenties now. He will be visiting us for the third time in March. He will stay for over three weeks. Here is a photo from his last visit in 2012-13.

    Just saw this thread for the first time. Nice Story, and Nice Double Wing! I've had my Dbl Wing for a few years now. Got it from Subdude when he still lived in Phoenix. It's at my office right now, but I will have to bring it home soon. I have to move from a closed office to a cube(boooooo), so it won't be safe out in the open anymore. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the visit from your long lost exchange student!

It was hitting fevers consistently and I found myself constantly filling the top tray. It had gone through modes and played music and sound effects I've never heard before while they played.

    Below are some photos. The room is still not anywhere near done. I'm surprised at how time consuming the woodwork, etc is. I have yet to build a ball distribution system for the pachinkos, although I have a retrieval system that works well. Therefore, I still have to frame in around several of the machines...
