The visit is over.

[Tony Junior]

I just got home from dropping Fighter Pilot a.k.a. Willie, off at the airport. He is currently winging his way back to what he calls home in Pensylvania. However, I'm still trying to convince him that he should move here.

This morning we did an estimate on his winnings on the Spin Luck. We couldn't get an accurate count because my coin counter has a gear jammed, darnit.

I'm going to try to keep his winnings seperate until the counter is repaired, but with Kyle's work, him still helping me get the last of the stuff out of the duplex, lord only knows when that will be. Anyway, the large kitty litter bucket we have Willie's winnings in is a 35 lb. bucket, almost full of tokens! I'll post a picture later, after a nap. That bucket weighed in at 118 lbs., or roughly 10,314 tokens! That does not count the 53 that are already in the machine, nor the 5 Future Games he has banked! And yes, he was playing from that bucket!

It was a fantastic visit, marred by the necessity for me to move, and Willie had to suffer through that. But we still had fun and I actually got him to try the Las Vegas last night! I'll let him tell you what he thought of that machine.

We both wish circumstances hadn't prevented Scooby from visiting, we both were looking forward to that. Perhaps next time!

Tony, I think Willie will miss the Spin Luck more than you

[evh347]

I think it would be funny if you "modded" your Spin Luck to pay out in kitty litter. You have the pails right there if you need them!

Great photo's, thanks for sharing. Hopefully the flight home will be nice.....

Wonder what kind of item Willie could redeem the tokens for in a Japanese parlor?

Cash!! or the special token he could take outside and redeem for cash.

[Tony Junior]

Willie called as Kyle was getting the last of the things out of the old place, he made it home with no problems, and was on his way to pick up his 'baby,' Dallas.

Today is my first day back to work in a week, and I'm kinda looking forward to the rest. This move is killing me!

Hopefully, he'll post sometime today after he gets a chance to rest up.

Kitty litter what else ??????

[Fighter Pilot]

Hi everyone,

Yes, I made it home safe. I can't say that I'm happy to be back, because I'm really not; but it's time to try and get things back in order and head back to work. Friday will be my first official day back since my first surgery, and that's been over two months ago. They arn't starting me off slow like I thought they might....Friday will be an 11 hour day!!

I had to cancel my Dr. appointment today because I couldn't get a ride, but I now go on the 8th and my friend Scott is going to see to it that I get there. The foot is still giving me problems, and the nurse said something doesn't seem right when I explained that I was still having pain and swelling and all that, so I pray to God I don't have to go back to the hospital a third time!!

The visit with Tony was great!! True, we didn't get to do many of the things we wanted to, but we had a great time just the same.

The flight back was a bit of a PITA. I got to sit beside this nice lady and her two screaming kids, Noah age 3 and Cody age 1. Now please understand, I love kids, but Noah was.....well, he was........let's just say this, if I had a parachute, I would have jumped!!!!

[DaStooge]

, if I had a parachute, I would have jumped!!!!

glad to hear you made it home safe, hope everything goes well with the healing of your foot.

How did you like the Las Vegas Pachi?

[clau]

You didn't start a game of peek-a-boo did you?!?

[birdbrain]

those handles on the seat.. the ones that are yellow and black striped... they operate the ejection seats!!

Thanks DaStooge,

The Las Vegas is a fun machine. Love the music and all that, but I wish I knew more about how it plays. I hit a bonus of some kind, but have no idea what or how I hit it.

I wish I would have thought of that yesterday!!!!!

[Tony Junior]

Sure was quiet here last night, Willie! Dammit, King Kat and Annie were all looking for you.

I bet Dallas was as glad to see you as you were him!

[Fighter Pilot]

Yes my friend, it was VERY quiet here too!!! I'm glad we went and got Dallas last night.... The house would have been WAY too empty without him!!

Trust me, I miss you and "The kids" as much as you all....or is that y'all miss me. Thanks for putting up with me for 3 weeks!!!

[Tony Junior]

Three weeks, are you kidding? Look at all the trouble (read fun) we could get into if you moved here!
We wouuoldn't even have to worry about moving!

[Mike]

Willie, why didn't you fly back in your fighter jet?

[azlew]

The Las Vegas is a fun machine. Love the music and all that, but I wish I knew more about how it plays. I hit a bonus of some kind, but have no idea what or how I hit it. !!!!

Hmmm I used to have Las Vegas until I shipped it to my Son for his birthday...darn kid now has two great collectibles (Race Queen and Las Vegas) all because of his BDs


It's a great Pachislo !!
Gaku at Big Bear may have more info on it?
