Yeah, you read CORRECTLY!
Here is whats going on. Were moving to Hawaii. We already have a home leased there, the clock is counting down.
Moving to Hawaii is EXPENSIVE! It will cost us $10,000 to move all our belongings, About $3000 to move the vehicles.
SO.... The Bluebird has to go.Here is what you get.....

Factory Dual monitors.
Multiple sets of glass (lots of it)
Machine has 5¢ Hopper and coin head setup (working)
Lower glass is the Blue WMS Logo
512Megs of RAM
LOTS of "Factory" Software, Genuine WMS stuff.
You also get a BRAND NEW Laminated wood stand/cabinet.
Machine is in Las Vegas, Nevada (of course).
Needs to be sold by late Dec 2011.

If you are interested in a BBU, send me a message HERE on NLG.
Price Won't be inexpensive, but won't be robbery either. There is a LOT
included with this machine.....

Other stuff....
5 reel IGT Vision "Mata Hari" missing top glass, gloss black round top in good shape! $200
17" GameKing with 59 games, complete with stand $700


Kirk

Damn Kirk, definitely gonna miss you. Been a great help. Thanks!

Thanks! It's been fun! and I will miss this hobby, but it's going to cost a bunch to get there.
Who knows? If I dont have enough to move it all there, it might go into storage and arrive at a later
time.To store the lot would be about $250 a month. Might have to move a few items,cars,us and toys
at a later time.......


Kirk

You can store the Blue bird at my house. I will even pick it up! Free storage of course! lol

Congrats on the move  :3-


I wish I were closer - blue birds need a good home

Thanks :)
It's something my wife and I have always wanted to do. I made her a deal, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer I told her she needed to "Beat" that dreaded Cancer. We made the deal that when she got it into remission, we would move to Hawaii.
She went thru the Kemo, She had the Radiation. She lost her hair (finally grew back), went down to 94 pounds but she survived the treatment and the cancer is in remission!.
I think she has earned the move to Hawaii.When this Cancer hits your family, your "Order of Priority" will change drastically.It's kinda hard to explain....
While I love to own the machines, the wife is a lot more important.Will I miss them in hawaii? I'm sure I will.
But living there will be a everyday event, a really pleasant one.We still plan to visit Las Vegas a few times a year.
The Hobbies will change a bit. Probably "Ramp up" my HAM radio activities. I have a complete "Remote Station" in a box, I can do remotes for AM/FM radio stations from the island for less money then it costs a station to send their own Engineer and equipment.I want to get certified in SCUBA, try out a lot of new things.
I'm sure we can find a new home for the BBU and the IGT I-Game. I also have a really nice "Catch A Wave" with a new 17" flat screen LCD display and the correct topper I will part with. There is a silver lining here, The house is a 3 bedroom, have room for a guest or two.So if a NLG member wants to come out to Kona Hawaii (NO MACHINES OR CASINOS) for a week or two, be prepared for withdrawals..but a simply wonderful experiance in a fantastic place (Still in the USA).

>>>me jealous<<<

ALL THE BEST TO YOU KIRK!!!
Glad to hear the wife is OK. A move to Hawaii sounds just like what the Dr ordered!  :89-
I did hear a rumor that they do actually have internet available in Hawaii now so it does
not mean "goodbye"...you are still there and us here so we certainly expect to "see"
you around still.
---I would love to take you up on your spare room offer but that's simply a pipe dream for now  :5- ---

We wish you an your wife only the best and Congrats on the move!

Kirk  Save me the  Mata Hari. I'd take the Game King but alredy have about 10 of them.  See you SAT.

The Mata Hari is yours :)
Holding the WMS-550 and Wild Cherry for you also.
The Gameking left today for it's new home :)

Thanks!!


Kirk

Kirk, it sounds like you've got some exciting times ahead of you with new challenges and interests to keep you busy. I'm glad to hear that your wife is in remission and hope you're both happy in Hawaii. I came close to meeting you once or twice but we never ended up connecting at Joey's or in Vegas. I had hoped to meet you before you left. Don't forget to log on once in a while and say hello aloha. :88-


Stat :31-

Kirk,

I too never had the chance to take your open invitation to meet up in Vegas, but Buzz is bending my arm way behind my back to go to his house to meet up and come along for the ride, so it looks like I will get my chance to meet you in person. (Yes, he is forcing me, I am not just skipping work or procrastinating!!! And I did not invite myself no matter what he says!!! :5- :200- :97- :60- :60- ) I think that Buzz wants me to come along so that I can load his truck, and also because I owe him alot of money too! If I don't pay he may take me to a hole out in the desert!  :58- :99- :58- I think he is testing my ability to resist! :71- :72-

CH :95-

All I will say is the BB has been sold ( no not me, the Skipper, or Joey ) but it will be leaving Vegas tomorrow afternoon in the back of my PU. Now to quote that famous scholar Forest Gump " That's all I got to say about that "

Hey Capt!
Will be good to see you too tomorrow!
If you guys have time, lets go get lunch while you are here???


Kirk

Kirk,

Sounds great... I can't go to Vegas and not get out for a meal, it just would not be right! You will have to put up with Buzz, Myself, and StatFreak since he is going to come along for the ride too! Look forward to meeting you.

Mark :95-

Too bad you guys aren't doing this a week or so later -- I'll be in Vegas in 9 days...

Everything is gone! SOLD OUT.....
Thanks to everyone that inquired!
With the sale of the machines were are a LOT closer to the move to Hawaii.
I was able to keep ONE machine, a IGT 3902 I-Game "Catch A Wave".
With any luck we wont have to sell that one too.

ALOHA!!!!

Kirk

Don't believe the next post...... What they say is all lies! :37-

They obviously do not know the code: WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!!!

NUFF SAID :58- :58- :58-

CH :95-

Anyone that's been following this thread knows that my self, Capt. Happy  :95- and Stat Freak :31- were at Kirk's house yesterday to pick up a couple of machines. But my story is a little different than Kirk's.

As I recall we had the truck pretty well loaded, and was getting ready to load the I Game when the Alligator tears started flowing. Folks you never have seen a grown man cry like Kirk , here was these rotton bastards from another state taking his last machine. I didn't care let him cry but the floor got so slick I couldn't get the machine onto the cart.  At this point Folks I ask you what can a fellow do, we had to come home with a half empty truck.

What a sweet Wife Kirk has, I tried to get her to come home with me, but she wouldn't have any part of that. That's when I discovered she's not real bright, she missed the opportunity to come home with a nice guy like me and chose instead to stay with a old fart like Kirk.  

I swear all the above is the truth and nothing but the truth as I see it. I wouldn't Bull S*** you.

Thanks Kirk



Note from Stat: Buzz asked me to review his post and make sure that his account of our visit was as absolutely as accurate as possible, and after reading the above paragraph I can honestly tell you that I was too busy playing the Bluebird to remember whether any of what Buzz says is true or not. I do recall that after inquiring as to the location of the restroom, that Kirk, unsolicited, made a point of insisting that all of his previous guests were wrong and that the suspicious-looking night light which had a small lens on the front really wasn't a camera.  :209- :127- :5- :99- :208- :208-

SF :31-

I don't know...my version is a tad differant. I opened the door to a small army. After ID'ing me as Kirk, they flooded the game room. They looked around, said there was some OK stuff here but we all needed "Fuel" to carry out this mission. We went in mass down to the local Buffalo Wild Wings. We took so much time that our waitress actually sat down with us. Once we ordered we devoured the food offerings (like buzzards) and were told by the staff to never come back (its OK  were moving anyways).
Back to the gameroom.....
We opened the door, someone yelled some kind of war "Charge". Stuff was flying all over the place.This wasn't a "Move" but rather a "Rape & Pillage" mission spare nothing.
Before I knew it, they had my TV's, appliances, radio equipment WIFE and one dog loaded on that truck!!!
It was the fastest 15 minutes of my life! After a while, we made a deal..they only took the machines. After I asked about my payment, they then told me they were a branch
of the Starvation Army, thanks for your donation and that many "kids" will enjoy our donation.I'm still a little bewildered, but would do it again in a heartbeat.

Yesterday was a lot of fun, was great too see all of you, wife says thanks for the flowers and Mr. Grumbles misses you......

My wife and I also had the pleasure of dining with Kirk and his wife at Buffalo Wild Wings ( his favorite I presume), the pleasure of his dogs licking my legs to a spotless shine (don't wear shorts ) , getting two S+ Barcrest slot machines and one Williams slot machine along with him helping me fix a few problems. Hope you and the wife enjoy Hawaii. A great asset to NLG. Aloha!

Dale...
They were "Maranating" your legs....preparing for an attack....

With a LOT of help from our friends, we will be able to start a new chapter of our lives in Hawaii.
We can't wait to live there, and share the Aloha spirit with our friends, extend the "Kamaina" treatment
to everyone that would like to come and visit us in one of the nicest places in the USA....

Kirk & Annette

 :72- :72- :72-

They are both excellent leg, pant and hand basters.  :61- :61-   :200-  :97-    ... ... unless you call the one dog "Mr .Grumbles."  :81- If you think I'm kidding, ask Kirk – or better yet, ask Buzz.

Buzz will tell you what he observed; Kirk will explain the how and why. :71-

I'm sure Buzz just sat there watching the whole thing - sipping on some black coffee... :72-

No, that was me (sans coffee). :25-  Buzz can really move his a** for an old fart. :72- :72-

SF :31-



(My reply is late because I missed your post somehow.)

I actually didn't see the Dog get started. I walked in and this very nice dog was being held by it's owner ( Kirk ) and was really being vicious.  Naturally with Kirk egging him on. I thought more than once that Kirk was going to be bitten. ( truth is I was rooting for the dog.)  Teach him to not let me have the I Game.

NO Bunker I wasn't drinking coffee. When you are on a pillaging spree there is no room for coffee. ( Gotta keep both hands free, never know when the owner will turn his back)   But I did have two thermos in the truck !!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of pillaging, it's a good thing for Kirk I wasn't looking to launch back into the Ham radio hobby. There was a wall full of nice, ripe gear waiting to find its way into the pickup. :91- :183-

On the other hand, after looking at his gear I finally figured out what VHF and UHF stand for: Very Heavy Freight and Unbelievably Heavy Freight!  :200- :279- :30- :208- :208- :208-

:31-

I thought they were just overgrown CB radios

Buzz had the right idea... I was drinking Iced Tea and had to hit the head (bathroom for non Navy Folk! :97- ) several times.... Buzz probably got the really good stuff. :58- :58- :58- :25- :279-

I saw the dog do his thing, and I too thought that Kirk had a bite coming to him, but truth be told I was probably the closest to being bitten as the Dogs really took alot of time marinating my legs... I saw the writing on the wall when I saw one of the pooches walking towards me with a squeeze bottle of steak sauce in its mouth!!!  :58- I definately was up for us leaving for a meal at that point, rather than staying there as a meal!!! :200- :208-

CH :95-

Did someone say "Leg of Human" ?????????
They work as a team. "Mr. Grumbles" thinks he is a police dog, but due to his short legs (this sucker is FAST) he will take you down at the ankles.....

Buzz I can't blame you - I had the pleasure of meeting up with Kirk and his lovely bride in Vegas about 18mths ago.
We had a nice dinner at one of the buffets...

Looking at those two in the picture above .... the word Luau and Pig roast come to mind........(kidding).

Kirk this Christmas I will be in Punta Cana looking up Ozzy but make sure you know let us know when you get settled and open up NLG (Polynesian division).

Hi Jay!
Thanks....
I think the "post" disappeared..I can no longer see it here.....
Maybe Mr. Grumbles ate it?

It was the post of the two dogs....... it does appear gone....

Buzz.... I might have to part with the I-Game and the two extra 3902 boards. it has the flat panel LCD in it and a topper on it. It has "Catch A Wave" in it now, the spare 3902's are "Mystical Mermaids" and "Snow Globes". I also have the complete glass set for "Mystical Mermaids". Of course a nice stand goes with the machine.....

Kirk

Kirk Let me know when you reach a decision one way or the other.   I need another I Game like I need another retcum !! The only reason I would buy it is I get to come vist again.  Don't post your decision, this next vist I'll leave the two trouble makers at home. :177- :177- :177-

Nope, I won't be jealous at all Buzz! LCD :58- :58- :58- Who are the other two trouble makers that you are eluding to? :103-

BUT.... If you were to end up going, I sure could use some more of them cool stands if there are any more available! Plus maybe Kirk may have found another machine I am looking for???? :79-

I finally got the pictures off of the camera and on to the computer, so I thought that I would share the group shot from this trip!

CH :95-

Now THERE'S a Motley Crew!  :279- :208- :71- :71- :79-



I'll be in the Islands in 9 days...

Kirk, which one are you moving to? PM is ok if you want to remain "undercover"... I spend quite a bit of time over there.

It's a good thing that all of us aren't moving to Hawaii. After all, we wouldn't want it to tip over. :127-
(I just couldn't resist replaying this one. :96-)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNZczIgVXjg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNZczIgVXjg)

Sure glad it didn't tip over when we spent 19 months in Guam.  :97-  My son was also born there too, glad that did not help tip it over.  :72-

Ron (r273)

Man, we landed our B52 there back in the late 70s, and we all felt it wobble when we touched down. The pilot said that's why the landing was so rough...  :30- :30- :89- :79-

Oh my lord...this fella is in congress?
I see how he got that job - he knows something no one else knows!!
He knows that small islands, when over populated...uh...can capsize!   :97-

I'm pretty sure this guy is now an "Advisor" for Obama! Judging by some of the dumb things Obama has done, this guy must be in the mix somewhere....
