    These days work is extremely stressful — I work in retail and with all the Coronavirus in the world it’s a stress mess from the moment I get up in the morning till the minute I get home. But when I get home, it’s Pinball time ... so thankful, it’s a break from today’s reality where I can play some pinball and not think about all the unbelievably crazy stuff that is happening in the world these days. So yes, very Thankful for pinball and that I am fortunate to be able to have a few pins at my house that can take me away for just a few moments in time. (And bourbon )

    Hope everyone is staying safe and we get past this crazy time together soon.

    I agree, it is a great escape. Stay healthy.

    Almost a year later and while we are still dealing with the virus at least there appears to be hope on the horizon, I know it won’t get back to complete normal this year but at least it seems to be getting a little better everyday. Thankful for @ home pinball to enjoy this past year with the family.

    An old EM I purchased back in November has been a real blessing.
    I wasn't able to fix it as fast as the others, more wore out and complicated.
    It took a thousand adjustments after a full shop job. I've been taking one at a time.
    Been playing the snot out of it.
    Still wish I could find 2 more Projects to take me in to Summer.
