Air hockey and pool table in the basement with a ping pong table top to go along with it. Pool and ping pong requires no electricity other than the fluorescent fixture above, and we can go all day if it is too wet and cold outside to do anything.
and playing ping pong does give you a good workout, if your opponent is good at placing shots.

Finally spent some time tidying up the orange patrol. Pulled out all the pieces/parts out of the back. The carpet -- which was really more of a red pad -- was kind of gross, but overall the inside wasn't too bad. The best part was the goodie I found in the back...

Hmmm... What could this be? It's still in the original Nissan plastic bag!

A new factory points set!

I opened the bag...

Not sure if you can see it in this pic, but the hand-crank is just sitting there. There must be something missing -- What holds it in place?

There are rubber inserts that fit inside the brackets. The rubber inserts have cutouts for the crank handle...

I like the shot from the rear without the front seats in place. It gives a better overall view. The Patrol is looking great! Love the safety orange jack. :D

This is what the rubber insert looks like.

Cool! Thanks!

Does anyone have any extras? I wonder if Bosque (Dave) makes those yet...

I don't think he does, but it doesn't look hard to do.

looks like a Pool que-stick clip... a trip to the local billiards supply store might provide an adequate functional substitute...
