I'm off to pick up my converted Asteroids, that I won on Ebay for $51.00 US, we'll see what it's like?
It's converted to Tetris, but who knows. Another couple of hundred KM's and another game, I swear this will be the last game I buy for awhile. :roll:

Well,
I just got
home....What a day! I show up at the guy's house (out in the middle of noware) and He's not home????? What The F@#K!!????, It turns out that his house is
for sale, and it was being showed (last minute thing) SO, off to the Falls we go, In the meantime I left a message on his phone to call me on my cell, We get
to the Falls wander around a bit, and ofcourse he calls me, we set a time to meet, I show up a little early, but he's not their yet, Then he pulls up in a
Rolls Royce!!!! Nice car... anyways he said he was really sorry about everything, we loaded the game and I was on my way.
Good day overall, I got to
run the new game hauler full out, Now it's been to Chatham, and Fort Erie, ready to go anyware now.
Now where am I going to put this game???? I'll have
to put my Harley in the shed :lol:

Diamond Dave,
That's a garage right?
Don't your machines
suffer from the dampness and cold in winter?

If you look at the top right of the picture, you'll see the furnace, I fully insulated and drywalled my
garage a few years ago, and since I'm in the furnace business, it's easy to put a furnace in. :D Keep the garage at about 60F when no ones in there, but
if I'm working, I'll turn it up to around 70F and it warms up in no time, I'm going to be building a addintion on the back of the garage (@around 450
sqft) So I might have to add central air..... He He He 8)
