With this primarily. Thank God for JJP Pirates, it never gets old!
I've also started playing my War Gods arcade game since I just brought it back from the dead. I have no shortage of projects to work on next, so hopefully my motivation keeps pace with my new found free time.

I am blessed that both my wife and I can still work full time from home. Other than that, been cleaning up my games as needed. Ordered lots of parts that should arrive soon to keep working on stuff.
Praying. For everyone affected in this situation.

Lots of stuff that's needed done for a while....painting inside the house, cleaning up the workbench, waxing some playfield, ordering and installing way too many mods that I probably don't need, binge watching old DVDs (especially all of the Sean Connery 007s), FaceTiming with the kids and Grandkids, and of course playing lots and lots of pin....be safe everyone and try to stay positive. Agreed that watching the news more than an hour a day is such a downer I don't do it...

I have a routine - I go to work (Behavior Health Hospital), come home make scrambled eggs, bacon and toast for dinner and then play our daily on-line holdem tourney. Repeat every day. It gives me a routine that gives me some comfort in this crazy time.
Totally bored. While I'm not prepared to jump off a bridge just for excitement. During some house work have found unopened X-Files Series 6,7,& 8. That I have been watching each night.
Two different officials on opposite parts of Canada have stated that social gatherings should not be organised until after June 1st. (Sheesh I hope not.)
Hope that this quarantine ends with in the next 2 weeks, and not May 1st. Although it is better to be safe, than have this virus spring back to life.
This Week it is still acting like winter here, so taking out a hobby car for a drive, is no fun! Gas is cheap less than 60 cents a litre. Alas the driving will have to wait.
Got to get to the pins in the game room. They will all need a waxing and a glass cleaning. Possibly replacing some bulbs.
Hope every one and their families get through this in good health.
Late night start on repinning the sound board connector after dinner and a movie. haha. This is going to be a long repair since it is the 1st of the all connectors to go through and repin, among other things to be done. Since all the bulbs in Spectrum are CPU controlled insert lamps (GI lightning included), it takes 2 lamp boards to control them all, so quite a bit more repinning to do than most other older Bally games. This is just what it takes if you want a reliable game. Working on it for a local Pinsider to go to another local Pinsider.
pinball, board games and card games with the kids, movie nights, walking and raising our new puppy.
I have an odroid-based retro console and the kids and I are working our way through games I loved as a kid...all the zeldas, secret of mana, final fantasy, metroid and super metroid. (i'd pay $$ for a metroid or zelda pin)
tons and tons of webex and zoom meetings.
drinking comical amounts of coffee (am) and beer (pm).
Quoted from Coindork:My wife is obsessed with trying to become the new grand champion on our Dr. Who.
Must not be going so well because I keep hearing her scream profanity from the Pinball room. LOL
Good entertainment!
Farsight pinball on my iPad, working on & playing Mystic, & card games with my wife. Also, Hogan's Heros & Match Game.
Quoted from LTG:Contemplating why my new fuel pump on my van is shooting gas out the top of the gas tank rather than to the engine.
LTG : )
It's probably just a fuse, Lloyd.

For unknown reasons, on sunday my kids started playing with the super nintendo (I have a mini, I added a ton of snes games to it), and it’s all they’ve been doing since then, they havent touched any of the modern games I have.
Needless to say it makes me super happy !
Got three buddies and I set up to play some Kaiser together last night!! Was great. Kaiser goes by different names, mainly originated in Sask and Que. but had blast crushing beers and laughing with the boys using Zoom meeting and online Kaiser (which the originator had to use the name Troika due to trademark issues)

I'm probably in the minority camp here, but I haven't touched my pins...I do thank God for beer though.
I have some property up north in the woods, shooting clay pigeons is a favorite pastime along with camp fire and beer afterwords...I miss the gun clubs.

Absolutely! Look forward to weather clearing so I can distance by camping and canoeing. Buddy teased that I’ll get pulled over with my red canoe on top of car - not essential.
Who knows, but worth a shot!
Quoted from Vino:By the way, appreciate all the ideas and real time pics. I’m learning a few new Italian dishes. I find it relaxing and the wine doesn’t hurt.
Simple quality ingredients go a long way.

San Marzano’s are the only way to roll when making sauces.
Quoted from Puffdanny:I've been looking for my carnuba wax for 3 days

Bermuda Triangle
Quoted from Jaybird815:I’ve dusted off my PS4 and started Arkham Knight from the beginning.
Excellent choice ! This game has a lot to keep you busy
Pinball is cool and all, but quarantines can still be quarantines as long as you're doing stuff alone. Lately, I've been exploring the area on my bicycle. Taking nice long routes and snapping pictures of all the surreal COVID related sights like empty mall parking lots, parks with caution tape, and signs warning us to take extreme precautions.
When I'm not doing that, I've been sailing my humble little sunfish on nicer days. It's peaceful, and allows me to ease my mind.

Watched the classic cannonball run movie Speed Zone with my son this morning then had a nap, made a sandwich and finished Ozark season 3. Now getting back into Narcos Mexico
It is rumoered to rain Monday night. I will walk thru the woods and shroom hunt again. Spring is a good thing here in the hills.
Quoted from Coindork:About to move Space Odyssey back in the house.
Tonight seems like a good night for low stress, beer and EM Pinball.[quoted image]
oooooh, I spy a food fight! That Space Odyssey looks nice also. Enjoy!

Quoted from Backyardace:Tim,
Like the Fokker and the Sopwith. Are those RC airplanes?
Looks like another Ender 3 owner. Best printer I have owned and a real workhorse. How can you go wrong for under 200 dollars.

Yeah, my buddy has a Prusa MK3. And that is an awesome printer. But a little above what I wanted to spend.
I wanted a good larger bed printer for the best price. It's definately fantastic.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Chicken porn.[quoted image]
I've never seen a chicken split like that.
