I Feel like a kid again

It was back in the 70s when I fist played pinball, my Dad would take me and my brother out to eat every Friday night we went to Roy's Place AKA The Greasy Spoon, some times we went to the Hub or the A&W. We played pinball at all three of these places before and after we ate. In my teens there was a arcade room at the mall where I spent all my spare time and money. It had been over 35 years since I played a pinball game, back then you couldn't drag me out of the local Arcade. About 2 weeks ago Carah & Troy Evans invited me over to play their pins, Boy pins sure have changed and I am hooked again, like a kid in a candy store. My Dad has dementia now and I don't think he could play the newer fancy machines, so I am buying a 1976 Freedom for us to play together again. I should have that pin in a week or so. I have also bought a Walking Dead machine and haven't had it a week yet but cant stop playing it and when I am not playing it my wife is, Don't know how we lived this long without a pinball machine in the house, it is freaking awesome, I have plans of buying several more and will have pinball in my life again untill I die.
