Pneumonia is not something to just walk off. Had it a few times and yes it does destroy you. Good to see to got that problem under control. As to the parts business sad to see you leave it but i do understand if was becoming to much and you wanted to be free of it. Hoping new guy is ready for it and is will to take advice from you. Who knows maybe it gets crazy enough you can part time every so often. I know in my line of work they have been asking old guys to stick around mostly because of the knowledge they have gained but they don't want to pay for it and the old guys just can't physically do it anymore so when they can cut and run they do.

Glad to See you relieved the big stress in you life of the parts business. But unless you selling all your pinball stuff and going cold turkey i wouldn't close down your account here. After being in the hunt/game for all these years buying and selling your name is known here and in local pinball circles for years as the man in pinball. Yes you stepped away from the business side of it but some one will call at some point and your going to have to pass that on to matt or someone else be it a machine or box of goodies. It time to make it just a hobby again makes if more fun.

You also now have a great amount of knowledge that you can still share and tell the wild and crazy tales of the past. After a good day of fishing you can log in and laugh at our craziness. Then tell us about the new relaxed man you will be. Post the picture of the fish of the day making us jealous that your living the dream.
