"Funny" how the day can pan out. Went up and picked up a Foto Finish that was made in 1961 from Michael. Come home and order reproduction backglasses for Foto Finish, Criss Cross, Sunshine and Big Casino from the Shay Arcade Group: http://shayarcadegroup.com/index.html

Don't care about the costs because I have a new project and 4 brand new reproduction backglass coming in from the USA 

Now the weekend - at 10AM takes a twist.

Drop 18 year old Son to Gibson Park, Thirroul to play for the Butchers rugby league team. Notice Josh very nervous before dropping him off and wish him well, see you in one hour and have a great game.

Go back home and set up Foto Finish - very happy with new project. 

Drive back to Gibson Park just before kickoff. Other team kicks off - straight to Josh (playing fullback) takes the ball from the kickoff and gets smashed in the first tackle. Gets up holding his shoulder.

He goes down and the trainers come out to see if he is OK, give him the 'magic water' and he keeps playing for 20 minutes.

Anyways he comes off, puts ice on shoulder and unable to move arm.

So off to the hospital we go - the results are a really bady broken collar bone - it's 3cm apart.

Josh shattered, out for 8 weeks (min) and puts everything in perspective.

Doesn't matter jack s**t about having a shed full of cool pinball machines - spending that time with my Son at the hospital was way more important.

He adores his sport and even gave up baseball (which he has played for Australia and toured the US/Canada) this season just to give everything to the sport.

As I said to him - you are not a man unless you have broken a bone
