    I have 9 machines, 8 in service.. Space Shuttle is going through a major rebuild.

    My sister came over and played Wh2o Sunday.... I am in the middle of a master bath renovation (50 sq ft, HA master my a$$) and she comes running upstairs ... "How do I add the next letter?" I was like what? She got her first HS ever.. and needed to input her initials...you should have seen her hand over mouth like a giddy school girl..(she's 50) but hey.. its pinball.

    My college age daughter comes home with her beau and plays all the games and leaves little post-its saying this light is burned out here this ball got stuck there... I love it!

    At most major life events (birthdays and anniversaries and what not... they all get played 6-7 at a time.

    My kid went back to college yesterday, so I am looking at my lineup -- I play once or twice a week, but usually I attempt to better myself on a game, stick with that game for a while.

    I decide to play all of them back to back to back....so they don't get lonely...

    I started with WH2O and went around the room until I finished with Amigo!

    I don't think I have ever done that. I suck mostly, like 80mil on MM sucky, but man!!
    Playing those games is just a fantastic, exhilarating time.

    You know that moment when you catch a ball from a straight back target shot on the flipper and then you make the money shot off of that?! OMG just makes you smile and think that maybe you are getting better....

    Well that's my 2 cents for the day ...

    Happy Flipping!! Go enjoy your collection!

    After my family is bed if I end up staying awake for a while I will run myself down my collection and play 2-3 games on each. I have a blast every night I do that.

    Also, the first thing kids do when they come over to our house is to gravitate towards the pins. I can't count how many smiles (and a few cringes) come on my face when I watch them play.

    Yes, pinball is simply the best, most fun, and most rewarding hobby I've ever been a part of.

    There is definitely something magical about the machines and watching them get played... One the coolest WOW moments is lifting the lid and showing off thie guts of a machine. People love it!

    Does this make a daddy proud? IMG_6279.jpgIMG_6279.jpg

    Nothing brings me more joy in this hobby than when my daughter asks if we can go downstairs and play pinball.
