I’m just north of the Ybor Exit. Can toss you a few a beers or cigars for the trouble. I know it only takes 30
Seconds to do it, I just don’t have the tool and not trying to spend $200 on one right now.

I am looking at picking up an old out of commission cabinet off FB marketplace. Artwork has been stripped and most of the original hardware was all gutted so it will end up being a complete restoration/multi-cade mod project for me.

Some of the original buttons are missing and I’m thinking of just redoing the button layout all together and adding a trackball to the center.

Is there enough space on the original 1989 Konami cabinets for a trackball ball and all 4 players or is that going to be too cramped?

What is my best option moving forward if I pick this cab up?

Thanks!

Is anyone here young enough to see the flyers or know parents of the kids that are going to these “Teen Takeovers” ?

They are getting worse and more frequent and I’m sure you all know about the shots fired at the one on Clearwater Beach this past weekend.

These are all Hillsborough and Polk teens that are involved according to the Tampa Bay Times article about them this week and they mention that the news gets out via social media flyers. Obviously most of us would not be seeing these flyers as most of us (I hope) are adults who are not engaging with this kind of behavior.

But there has to be at least a few people in this sub that get the info before the event happens and I think it would be very beneficial to the community if those events could be posted here for awareness. It would let us all know areas to avoid when the takeovers happen and it would also give us opportunities to warn business owners of it and also local authorities that can help keep the community safe.

It’s a bit of a catch 22 because then we’d also be spreading awareness of the event to any teens on this subreddit who would then want to go join in on the takeover but I really think the awareness to the community and ability to prepare for such events is worth it.

Let me know what you all think.

Is there a way for me to move the save data from my SA2B Chao Garden onto a PC and then use that data to play on one of the HD ports of the same game on PC so that I could continue using all the same data but than add in game mods?

just seeing what other power metal nerds are out there lol

My parents are retired and live on our family’s farmstead in the blue ridge mountains.

Every year they like to add another fun gimmick to the land. They are true hobbyists and have plenty of animals they care for and have different relaxing areas around the property with different animals and nature to appreciate.

This last year my dad fixed up an old gazebo. It sits right over their large pond which is all spring fed and a proper drainage and filter system was added on it to feed a creek that runs across the farm.

He built a nice deck over the pond and I was thinking that Koi fish may be a fun gift for my parents to raise.

Currently the pond has some bass and catfish in it and an Alligator snapping turtle that has been there since the mid 70’s when my grandfather first got the property.

How would adding koi fish to the pond work? It’s gotta be a good 10ft deep in the middle and is around 75ft across.

Is the water temperature okay up in the mountains like that? Would the snapping turtle just eat them all before they get big enough to avoid him?

Hi everyone!

I am currently working on my family’s ancestry tree and was able to find some details about my 11th Great Grandfather - the last man of my lineage to die in the UK before his son set sail to America.

John Austen Waterbury - Death was approximately September 1596 and I have found a record that says he was buried at St Peter’s Church in Sudbury Suffolk England. Same place that his son William Waterbury was born before he died heading to America with his own son, (also named John Waterbury), in 1630 that became the first Waterbury in America.

Is there anybody who lives in that area that would be willing to help me out? I just want a picture of his grave stone if there is one or a picture of the area that bodies were confirmed to be buried at the church if no headstones exist.

Also… and I know this is a very long shot… but if you live in the area there and are somehow connected to or still have the Surname of Waterbury - I would really love to connect with you!

Thank you for any help that you can provide! If anyone has any information or ways to get more details on my ancestor’s from there, please let me know. I am very invested! Thanks.

Went to the vet with my senior dog who was having diarrhea and his back left leg was weak. Vet said she thought the two things were not related and that he has a torn ligaments in his leg.

Now he is walking around and going to the bathroom just fine and acting normal. But our younger dog just started experiencing the same symptoms. He has had diarrhea the last 24 hours and now his back left leg is weak.

Both dogs had diarrhea first and then the back legs would not work. Both acted completely fine otherwise.

What could possibly cause this?
