Sure. That would be great. I don't think they have potatoes in Boise.

That was sort of part of it. I want to be the first person in recent history to bring potatoes IN to Idaho.

I fractured my T6 vertebra in a rollover 19 years ago. It took 10 years to rehab it back to "normal". I still have back pain that comes and goes. I find that staying active is the best thing for me. Too many days sitting at my desk without enough activity will cause me serious pain. Also, stretching in the morning, getting massage, and knowing my limits are necessary.

I hope your back pain goes away ASAP!

Thanks, I really hope it goes away quickly. It's not fun at all... Full respect to you for taking 10 yrs rehabs to get it back to normal. Not sure I have the patience to go through that long of rehab.

It's called #%$*&^* (Fuckin' back)

Haha that's what I said this morning, when I tried to get up.

See you knew the English all along.

@Sapphireho picture above brought to mind....

Two of my sons and I went to a relatively new local retro-arcade yesterday. 30+ pinball machines (1970's to current) and about 20 retro arcade machines (Pacman and the Ms., Donkey Kong, many of the other old favs). $8 an hour for all you can play, or $20 a day with in/out privelages.

We all had a blast!

Got to show off some of my old pinball skills (although a little rusty), but I did win 70% of our 3 way battles. Also left with the high score of the day on Ms. PacMan (about 80K) and on two pinball machines (8 Ball Deluxe and 6 Million Dollar Man).

Oh, and I still suck at Donkey Kong and Joust.

Definitely need the Hipsters to continue to bring this back!

Very cool. That sounds super fun.


My younger brother has an Asteroids, and a Defender arcade machine. I was never very good at Pinball, but love to play. I usually went to the car games (imagine that). I do remember sitting for hours in the Spartan Pub (beer/pizza joint in the student union at San Jose State back in the day) neglecting studies playing Gravatar. I did love Out Run when it came out, but that was near the end of my arcade days. Made it to the end a few times.

This place did have Out Run but it was tied up every time I headed that way. It's also available on MAME (along with about every other arcade game that ever existed).

I was also surprised I get this pain this early age (only 35). I wasn't really doing anything hardcore... now, driving to work was pain this morning. Even pushing in the clutch was disaster.

Your lower back pain may be related to your knee problem.

I suggest you seek medical advice before it gets worse.

At age 35, hopefully the pain will be temporary, however, I doubt it will go away without some action on your part.
