I just wanted to brag on my pinball-loving parents and thank them for giving in to the pin addiction that I infected them with recently. As of this June we (my parents and myself/husband collectively) only had an old Twin Win that was more of a spot to set things on in the garage at their house. Husband and I got JP as our wedding anniversary gift to ourselves this June, then my parents had to out-do me with a minty mint TAF. I am on vacation now heading to SPF on Fri and they had told me if I found a good deal to get it and they would help me pay for it. Then I got a message about local pins for sale and sent them to investigate, and this evening got a text asking when I would be home to get my new pins! MSF is going to their house to hang out with their Addams, and RFM is coming to my house to keep JP company until Predator shows up too. I am so excited and can't wait to get home now. They are from a fellow Pinsider and in great shape, and I am going to love them and hug them and take such good care of them. WOO HOO!
(Also, we did all 4 Diz parks today and I am hopped up on sugar and pin excitement at 2 AM. WIDE AWAKE.)

We are hosting Thanksgiving, so figure with the crowd of people the best choice for brand new pin players would be RFM. The MSF was in possible talks awhile back and my mom has been wanting to rock out to the soundtrack on it ever since. Dad has a busted eardrum and they normally leave their volume stupidly low on TAF, so that will be interesting.

I just sent her a pic of husband playing WOZ. She wants one of those too but I think 5 pins will keep us busy for awhile.

I think they are good on kids. I have a pregnant sister getting lots of baby stuff, so I think they are making it up to me money-wise with pins. Works for me.

I have never seen or played a MSF but it was a good deal and we are in a pin desert, so couldnt pass it up. Mom said it was hard when she was test playing it, so maybe that gives us a decent variety now.

The spot is ready and waiting for Revenge. Moving 2 pinballs today is exciting but doesnt sound like fun since we are still worn out from 9 hours of driving yesterday. I do get to see his collection including a few I have never seen so that will be cool.

Pinball party!
A moving party since we had 2 stops to make. A big huge thanks to Joey for helping us get both delivered safe and sound. I promise they will be loved and cared for.

Phone double posted.

Frankenstein looks good with Addams. JP and Revenge get along just fine too. Revenge looks so tiny.
Now I will never get my parents out of my house, but they bought me a RFM so they are always welcome.

Yeah, she is concerned about it. She usually has the blinds closed and there is a porch, but it is way more direct than her Addams in the corner. She has them in her bedroom for right now (hence the furniture everywhere being rearranged) but is possibly working on converting her dining room over for pins. She plays every night and being in the room she can close the door to block the sound, so if they stay there I will make sure she gets something to block the light. I am lucky that our rancher has the full basement and virtually no light gets near mine.

She's been texting me score pics, and somehow already has the high score. image.jpg

It was good to meet you too. I only met you and Art. I think everyone else either showed up after Fri or was at the bar. Lol. If I can keep my parents financing my 'drug habit' that will certainly help keep me around.

So, my mom wanted me to post this...

I still havent even seen it since Sun when we moved it, and I only got in 1 game then, but I can guarantee she's rocking out. When I first told her about it, she was sold immediately when hearing it had Edgar Winters as an option. I think she and dad have all the top scores now, so she'll probably mess up my top scores on my pins tomorrow. Lol

If there was an Areosmith pin, she would be hunting it down. Poor husband grew up under a rock, and I had the cool parents.

Actually late last night when I got the pic it came with a "Text this to Joey!" message. Lol
Yup, I told you they play at least daily but now I think it is all they do. She's coming early here today to make sure she has sufficient Revenge time. At least it will keep her out of the kitchen while Bill is cooking.
I need to clear/check her game count some day. Thats why I sent Frank her way, she has way more time to play.
