WTF is wrong with me????
« on: January 30, 2011, 07:01:18 PM »
Should I be worried guys???   My interest in pinball has been at an absolute minimum if it would even rank at minimum so why the he'll on a 42 degree day would I have the urge to go out in the shed and work on pinball machines????   Could this mean I'm improving or going completely nuts????

Well I consider myself completely abnormal and I spent the afternoon in the garage - working on a pin  ^&^

Nuts, but that's "normal" for pinball people, isn't it?  !@#

Funny, after the beach I **had** to play a few games - on the only game not in the air conditioned house! Played Spirit in the garage until I was sweating, and that only took a couple of minutes.

Definitely nuts.

Happens to all of us I think Daniel .
I am more crazy than you though .. spent the better part of 3 days either side of Australia Day in the garage in the stinking heat trying to find that damn fault on Lady Luck causing it to bust at 20.  !!!

Think I will be taking a break from working on pins for a bit now.. am really over it at the moment.

I find my interest cycles between working on them , playing them , and taking a general break from them.

I need more room ! and more $$$

I've been in a bit of a funk for almost a year myself. I figure when I'm ready, the pins will be there!

Everyone is spot on.

When I get sick of the pins, I think of what else can I do for fun.  &&

Buy a motorbike = get run over by a car
Buy another Jet Ski = see another huge white pointer shark
Take the family on a expensive Overseas holiday = get kidnapped by Islamic Terrorists or catch a disease
Buy a new Car/Toy = Watch it depreciate by 100percent over 2 years
Look for a New Hobby =  get bored of it after a week

So, I just walk out to the garage, or to my second loungeroom, look at all the different titles lined up n think, gee they look good, and I havent even turned one on today !
Yeh, they will be there tomorrow when I am up to it, plus there is the great AP Forum, so I will just stick to PINBALL.
