Great read, and well done my friend. You wrote about exactly what was "lived" thru. I can't believe it is Dec. 9th already and you wrote this on the 4th and lived it on the 30th + earlier. I am only just reading it finally today; What a blur it has been for the last 11 days since I was in ...

Key words in a post are still the "catch".
Jail is one of those words perhaps.
"Free" isn't currently though.
One day soon maybe...

There is so much going on in the first paragraph of this new thread...
Game on...Boo-ya...

Things have changed - as they always do and have done.
On the road - the stories are all worth telling others of our tribe.
Everyone - the younger you are - needs to slow and understand the new pace.
Mysteries and disorientation are commonplace - but everyone has the answer now.

Happy Birthday brother. All the very best and wish you some time at home soon to recharge.

Go Go Go bro.
Easy dibs on this after you.

Loading trucks at work and read this just now.
Sylvain pins are top shelf...

The pace is fast and furious. slowly weaned off all pain meds in the last 11 months. Down to just vitamins... There is never enough time for oysters, so I need to make some time for some; plus a few bevies + whelks are in order... Glad the pace is slowing down for Sparky and RAB. Mine won't slow unt...

Fantastic restore Drano.

I snuck out from work today. ( I am the boss so I know.)
I went over to my other shop. I played one game of Star Trek LE.

I played "mediocre".
More Monday...

It should be a helluva new thread...

And damn...
Nice pics and updates...

Old dogs do learn new tricks.
I am alone in a warehouse packing gear.

Apparently I should take photo's and post and share.
If you can do it my brother, I should be able to as well.

In due course.
If I feel the need.

More soon. All the best.
Cheers. Salut. Keep flippin.

Here HERE. I decided that the Saturday morning change-up today would to be "domestic" for the 1st half of the day. Fed my son and 2 guests brunch while my wife and daughter headed out to "theatre duty". (This is as regular for them as pinball is for us.) No performances for eithe...

If my older brother is going to start a new thread, perhaps I need to post more...

Very nice.

Quoting Mellencamp and Hemingway in a single post... Damn. Puts you dangerously close to sparing with RAB and a few others... My Mom figured out hours worked for my brother and I when we turned 40... She said we had worked far more than her friends that were 65, long before that age... I feel far pa...

Nice job bro...
And nooo... Save em.
You were never going to...
Ever be allowed to part it out... lol

Too funny. Nice reminder we are getting old Sparky... This is the ad that pops up today for me as 50 approaches... https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=CBm4_S1TFXfKSB5GxgwanjoPQBPGG6uhX_bPrvqgKjJKM_dgBEAEgsaqBEmD9iJeB6AOgAbGhmtYDyAECqAMByAPJBKoEuQFP0BX7GOs2GIlSJUojUNbaXNwJc5L9u_G...

I will freely admit that I had to look up the word empiriscist. Very useful and meaningful word. We have all been there Tim, looking for answers and explanations. It is like trying to carry a bag of hammers across a river full of eels, not slipping or getting the hammers wet, let alone the bag. :D ...

Congrats Shane. All the best with the new home.

Cait,
I have at least 1 Pachinko machine I could trade you, or 1 backglass (from the hoard) that I am sure we could make work for a trade for the books.
I will dig out the Pachinko at Bluffs tomorrow night. I will PM you.
Scott

Barry,
I would be happy to take them all. I can come and pick up. Will PM you.
Scott

Not sure if this was sold or not gents.
I thought it was. Now it isn't? Uncertain.

Just go and purchase it then please.
I will be happy to buy it from you, no problem.

+ 1 for Al Patterson as a reliable repair person.

Keep it up Tim. We are reading and hoping for you.
