Re: ROUTINE ON THE ROAD – REFUGE BY THE RIVERSIDE
With School and University back in session, my wife let me out of the province and to head to Montreal finally. (after 6 months due to all this nonsense) I was last ON THE ROAD for Pinball and work related adventures in March on the 11th and 12th in Montreal and I watched before my eyes as life chan...

Re: ROUTINE ON THE ROAD – REFUGE BY THE RIVERSIDE
Short stories - Introduction Routine's have been decimated for many during these most intriguing of times. (For myself, this journey began later than most for the love of pinball in 2012.) The real journey began when my father introduced me to pinball in 1977. I have always been, and want to be "ON ...

Re: ROUTINE ON THE ROAD – REFUGE BY THE RIVERSIDE
On the road again... Hardly a routine just yet though... just time for reflection... Time to move Mama Bear from Moncton (with Provincial permission) back to Peterpatch for good. Will do some big thinking on route. No stops allowed; (other than fuel) into and out of New Brunswick. Only a 24 hour win...

Indeed. Great sentiments and thoughts my friends. Just be. That is the meaning of life; other than the more precise numerical answer of 42 of course... Many of us don't have the requirement to "rush" around, or "panic" like anything is really important or matters. It all matters, but it also doesn't...

Great stuff Robert. I will greet: and; (in a socially distant manner) "hug" Sparky across the room at Bluffs later this afternoon. He is on several missions today; (which is his story to tell) but includes at least picking up a grail at Bluffs from Dave Astill. I bought my first 53' pinhauler today ...

Always great to have that sense or feeling that what you are doing has purpose or meaning.
Very glad to see that you are back into the Routine, and we will all benefit in your return...

Re: ROUTINE ON THE ROAD – REFUGE BY THE RIVERSIDE
This thread has been a highly entertaining read for me; in large part because I know Silver and R.A.B well online, and offline. This most intriguing of times has been a very busy and productive time, even though it initiated a whole new paradigm. I have several posts written (ink on parchment) to co...

Re: New project... COMMANDOS (WTF??)
Sparky is downright "giddy" about this project. It is nice to see. Ian texted several of us pictures of this project right away with a caption something along the lines of: "You guys don't know what this is" or , more likely: " I bet you guys have never seen this". (Which of course, we have not.) Ve...

Robert and Sparky and myself, (as well as many others) have all felt this pressure of late where the "larger requirements of work" tend to get in the road of our regular scheduled programming of life's important efforts. It has diminished our ability to "write things" or "get things done" in a timel...
