Apologies. Making more posts than usual. Stressed out with how this could effect my family. Keeps my mind occupied. Hoping one or two of my irrelevant ramblings give members a short distraction. Baking cookies and Gulfstream got me through yesterday. Read today my Instacart shopping service might be on strike starting Monday. Post anything or private message me because I'd like to know how other members are doing. 45 degrees and raining doesn't help but the loud stereo is good medicine.

I have an original Sheriff original Evel Kneivel original Playboy Taxi Pool Sharks wouldn't give them up for anything I’m thinking I played Taxi and may have played one or more of the others except for Sheriff, which is completely unfamiliar. That’s cool that you have them. True story: back when I was a kid there was a bowling alley nearby that had a pinball machine that, for unknown reasons, began “matching” on the same number time after time. Once we figured it out we’d play several balls (believe this was when you still got 5 in a game, not 3) and then try to tilt it when the number came up. Sometimes we’d miss, but we got a lot of free play until it ultimately was fixed.

Sheriff is 1970 or 71 Gottlieb ----2player version was called Lawman--basic layout mechanical--slow by todays machines--perfect condition! Evel is 74 or 75 Bally--a highly collectible classic. If you are in his fan club, you need one of these---paid $300 for it including delivery and set up---high dollar now Playboy 74 or 75 Bally--best machine of its era imo--rare when in good condition, mine is very good---love this pin Taxi late 80s Williams--was my go to machine for years, I mix it up now--plays perfect and best of its generation Pool Sharks later 80s Williams--year or so after Taxi---watch out for the fastball--speedy and fun
Played a new Iron Maiden that I found in a high tech darts bar--wow action speed balls from everywhere---pricey I have a want list though repairmen are few these days

hang in there Hooper! glad you are home. some day we'll all look back and think about how relaxing this time should have been.
Nothing relaxing about it at our house though. Both still working (wife from home) and now we are "homeschooling" a 7th, 5th and 1st graders.
I think this thread is some kind of record for getting derailed without a post from spanky. LOL.

9:30 est tonight on ESPN is the final game of the 2016 nba championship between the Cavs and warriors. Game 5 is finishing now with an incredible effort from Kyrie and LeBron.
I remember our discussions here during the playoffs and series, and all of the crap I took from the James doubters lol
Sweet final!
