IM NOT JUMPING IN TIMS GRAVE
« on: July 04, 2009, 11:09:16 PM »
Well had another day helping mark c 8am Start was pestered by a 5am CAN YOU JUMP START MY CAR phone call but made it there by 8am.  Firstly removed old ramp and moved the new one into place and for reference if you have an aliminium ramp dont make a 2 tonne steel frame to support it without proper bracing.   Then took over Tims job of making some leg protectors.   Not as easy as i first thought (GOOD WORK TIM)  Also had the chance to meet MARTYJ and with the quality of work he post i expected him to be an old retired bloke but only a young guy like me (GREAT WORK MARTY)    Also i took advantage of recent game sales to get down some treasure he had hidden from you all off the office roof.  Your lucky i didnt have room on my ute so keep an eye out on ebay for some great old spare parts.   But dont think i wont be bidding coz i will be and whoever wins will be hounded to sell me the top wooden ball arch from one of them  %$%
  Day was almost totally ruined by the shit Melbourne traffic only took about 2 hours to get home luckily i had half a bottle of Johhny Black waiting for my return.   (And before anyone says anything i don' %.%t have a drinking problem tonight but its all gone now so tomorrow night might be a problem)

  Thanks Mark

That stuff on the office roof wasn't too hidden, or at least some of it wasn't.

Yeah I have met MartyJ too, around the time he was buying a BH from memory, and he is a young whippersnapper like yourself Daniel, not like most of us middle-aged blokes who hang out on the forum.

Will look on eBay from some interesting stuff.

As far as us "middle aged blokes" are concerned, it looks like the younger guys are going to lift the hobby up a notch.

Rather see the younglings work on pinball than their playstations  %.%

Mark, lucky Daniel is not a full time employee or one of two situations would arise:
1. You would have nuthin to sell as he would have taken it all, or
2. Daniel would be broke

You may have to distribute his picture to all your employess, much like they do for problem gamblers at Crown... :lol
