What time?

You know me better than that, I would guess before noon.  I have to stop by Ben's and pick up a bunch of 3902 boards and I Games. When I get to Joey's have to unload a bunch of machines.

I asked because check in time at the hotel is 3pm, but I can arrive earlier if you want.

Spin til you Win was one of my favorite machines

Looks like Buzz feeding Joey a line of BS to me.....and it doesn't look like Joeys buying it...

What the heck Buzz? Is that where Joey smacked you across the forehead or what?

[stayouttadabunker]

Haha! That's a great picture...!!! 
Wonder what Joey's thinking? 

[Buzz]

Mark  I'll tell you exactly what was going on. That Joey is a tough dude to work for, a hour or so before Stat took this picture I had dropped a S+ out of the back of Joey's truck and  was explaining to him that if he made me pay cash for the machine I wouldn't have enough money left to eat on. He didn't care quote " You broke it you buy it" Like I said he's a tough dude to work for. It got so bad Stat had to pay for everyones breakfast   Sunday.

I'll tell you folks it's hard to mess up a S+, that machine must have fallen at least 3 feet and didn't even break the belly glass ( didn't have a top glass ) I went inside and Dottie was cleaning the blood off me and didn't exam the machine but I don't think it got hurt. I know it went for a ride I heard it hit once and bounce at least once.

Holy Crap Buzz! I'm glad that you're okay!!  
Next time, tie them suckers down good!! 
I'm glad you're all right!

[CVslots]

Buzz, you need to take it easy and be more careful! That kind of crap is hard on machines!  

Meanwhile, do you need a top glass for that machine? Let me know, as I may have a couple....hundred....

Glad you're ok. Or at least not hurt...worse!

Bunker  We unload them from my trailer to Joey's truck using his ramp and then from his truck to the ground at the shopusing the same ramp.  I guess I don't have a drivers license for a hand truck ( dolly ) Joey's kids are better at it than I am.  First machine out of the truck s when it happened, I guess the wheel missed the ramp and the S*** hit the fan. Or maybe I should say the machine and I hit the ground. I'm sure glad the machine didn't fall on me. Head lines in Bullhead News Paper "Old Bastard gets killed by flying S+"

Then I had to put up with Dr Joey and Dr Stat all worried I would go to sleep. ( had a pretty good bump on my head )  8 or 10 hours latter David calls my room and tells me not to fall in the shower, just what I wanted to hear.  I didn't know I was cut on the back of the head but next morning the pillow looked like I had been in a knife fight. I bet the lady that cleans the rooms didn't care for that. What can I say Joey hires cheap help, that's what he gets Cheap Help.

Four to four and a half hour drive home, took me 9 hours. Stat wasn't around and no cell phone service, damn that sleeper on my truck sure felt good.

Roz  It was a 16" Wild Cherry  I don't know in what condition the machine is in, later I looked at the front of it and it looked OK but it may be all beat up in the back. Joey has a bunch of glass, I did see a round top Haywire with a cracked top glass.

[StatFreak]

I wasn't going to say anything and tried posting a small version of the picture, but the cat's out of the bag, so to speak – and Buzz hates cats. 

... ( had a pretty good bump on my head )  ...

That's an understatement. Joey and I were concerned about Buzz going to sleep because the bump was larger than some slot handle knobs I've seen! Both of his knees were bleeding and the next morning both of his arms and wrists looked like they were covered in blue/purple pools instead of skin.

Anyone else would have been in the emergency room and anyone else HIS age would have been in the emergency room with us on the phone to his relatives giving them regular updates as to his condition. Buzz just gets up, dusts himself off, and goes back to work.

I've learned not to argue with the old buzzard when he gets into one of his stubborn modes so we didn't take him to the hospital and I didn't call his sons (I wanted to), but I still kept him up until he didn't appear to have a concussion.

Honestly, I don't know which is tougher, an S-Plus or Buzz?  Timex has nothing on either of them!
