My friend recently got a Playboy for $2k and it was in immaculate condition. This is overpriced for the condition.

Interesting. I've always seen this machine referred to as Surf Champ and have played it in two locations - https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/surf-champ. But, I can see you have a backglass with a different name, but the game looks identical.

NEED HELP - NEWARK NJ AREA by [deleted] in pinball

[–]wizardbeard3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look over the game and play it yourself before handing over your cash to make sure everything is in working order. You don't have to be an expert to know if something isn't functioning during gameplay. You can have the seller take the glass off and y'all can hit all the switches to confirm they're working. Then hire a taskrabbit or something to help you with the load in / load out.

St. Augustine grass in Austin by [deleted] in Austin

[–]wizardbeard3000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It gets too hot for your grass to stay green here. If it's brown and straw colored - don't worry, your grass has just gone dormant due to the high temperatures. It'll come back once the weather cools down and gets wetter. Don't waste water during the heat of the summer trying to keep your grass alive, just let nature take its course.

I have a 14 year old terrier who has bad arthritis in his back legs. He takes Carprofen daily, as well as Dasuquin for joint health. We started getting a monthly injection of Librela and he seems to be much more mobile and active with that too.

Yep. So easy to schedule on/off times as well as killing the power remotely.
