Thanks enforcer.     Nothing, and I mean nothing, on that Jackpot Limbo is original.  It actually looks like a fun game but it's kind of boring.  If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have a clear chip for Williams, I would have changed the game by now over to Piggy (since that's the only other WMS game I have for it.  I have heard of other games and maybe one day I'll look into it but for now Limbo it is, not going to complain though cause at least I have one

Us women are getting too lazy, we don't need washing machines a wash board and bucket of water is fine 

  I can too.  The washer and dryer and freezer and fridge won't be in there.

OK It didn't take 6 months.  Already the fridge is gone and the freezer is next.  I can't move the washer or dryer so I am stuck with them being in there.

Woah..... slow down..... Freezer = Kegerator

I got this Micromatic control that (www.micromatic.com) that controls the temp within 3degrees of the target temp by cutting the power to the freezer
I have gone one step further and wired it to the compressor rather than just plugging it in. This allows me to still have power on the inside.
I had to run a 30ft line to my tap tower so I ran 2 other lines beside the beer line. I then placed a 5gallon bucket in my freezer with food grade gycol and a submersible pump.
I pump cold glycol next to the beer line then back to the bucket. The whole line is all insulated.....

Now that's awesome and a great way to convert a freezer.  I don't drink beer so I don't have anything to worry about.      Now if you can convert it over to a cold booze cabinet and all I have to do is shove my face into a nozzle and drink away then we'll talk.

A freezer works more efficently filled than it does empty as the contents absorb the temp and it takes less energy to keep cool than to cool down.

SO heres the gig. Fill up old milk containers with water, and freeze them. Stack the freezer about 80% full with these blocks. You then fill the rest up with cubed ice.
You now get a section of fine vodka...Stoli, Absolute, Smirinof, Grey Goose, perhaps some cranberry for the ladies, a bit of pepper vodka and wedge these in nicely along with a good selection of shot glasses.... open the top and you have an instant Russian/Sweedish style vodka bar.....perhaps wrap the outside in a padded rail just like you would use around a black jack table or slant slot....

You forgot the mention the wife

[jay]

Yes you can put one of those in the freezer tooo.......

Love it I was waiting for a good come back on that one

The food items in a refrigerator or freezer is called thermal mass.
the best way to chill hard achohol is to fill a bucket full of water,
and put the bottle in the bucket then into the freezer, then take it out
at party time. Note: It's not (recommended) good to leave achohol of a high percentage in
the freezer or refrigerator for a long period of time. The refrigeration unit doesn't know better.
It will continuously try to suck the moisture, in the way of heat out of the
achohol causing the compressor to labor (run hot).
BTW, I do HVAC and Refrigeration as a living.

I no longer have one of those so no need to mention.  GF passed away a few years ago and I just never got around to replacing it, , errrr her.   

Love it I was waiting for a good come back on that one 

    OK now that's just funny.

BTW, I do HVAC and Refrigeration as a living.

Dad and I did refrigeration about 25 years ago.  Yes, it is very wise to keep your fridge and freezer as full as possible so the food in it does the work and not the compressor.  Trust me, my units are full of food, or something.  Installing walk-ins are a real treat.  Heck we have even done auto body repair.  I guess I should say HE not we.  Now I'm just a lazy bum that takes care of a lazy old bum, HAHAHA

[Buzz]

Ron doesn't tell you that, that lazy old bum served his country in the U S ARMY for 20+ years

Right on! "Land of the free- BECAUSE of the brave." 

BTW- Ron, quick question: How is it a Man cave...if your wife is allowed in??

LOL Yes, Dad was in the  US Army  for many many many years.  He left as a drill instructor.  Now that might sound good to ya'all but let me tell you it isn't   Nothing like a 12 year old being a PVT in the military.  Let's just say I get to get even now  just kidding.  Love dad to death.  You can't tell here but I do. 

Now to clarify the wife business, I don't have one.  I have to clean that room myself.   Now you know why I call it a MAN cave.      The only female around here is the Mustang.  And her name is Mary, not Sally.    *wondering how many people will figure that one out*

[CaptainHappy]

Ron,

Perhaps a good old R&B/BLUES Song from the mid 60's ? Any prize for first reply?    What machine can I pickup tonite? 

So, on to Mary... How many horsepower? Alternately you could answer 4 legs, or 4 wheels!

Jeff, after reading the first couple of lines of your post I’d have guessed that you worked for:

A) Lockheed Martin
B) Edwards AFB
C) Boeing
D) Raytheon
E) HVAC & Refrigeration

Okay, I’d never have guessed HVAC 

...The only female around here is the Mustang.  And her name is Mary, not Sally.    *wondering how many people will figure that one out*

Are you married to your Mustang?
No, that's not it..

Hmm... Maybe: P51 D Mustang ':Mary Mac': - Lt Gordon H Mcdaniel Air

Statfreak-

I was going to guess he worked for Maytag.   

As for the Mustang...I like your idea on that one- "Mary Mac".......that's gotta be it!   

Is that it Ron???

[a69mopar]

I was thinking a restaurant..

Is the Mary Mac a die cast?

[racergiant]

Ron -

Holy cow man.....   

You'd better be careful that word doesn't get out about your man-cave...   The nearby casinos might file an injunction against you.  Know what I mean? A cease & desist order??  You'll take too much business away...

Seriously tho...   AWESOME JOB ! !
