well well Nino ....
it happens to us all .
I live by once its not fun I move on.
you dont live to work you work to live ...
you work for your family to see the smiles on the things you
i live to see my little girls faces when i walk in , to talk to my older daughter.
this industry has gotten to me a few times but at this stage not enough to move on. yes I have thought about it and come close
I then sit back and think of the good people involved and the nice ones .
there are some real ratbags in pinball but you must forget these
mate think of your family and think of what you can do for them and DONT miss the kids growing up. I can see that little smile on Zacs face when you get home, if anything like when I bring a pin over , you are so lucky to have that . thats just one of the best things we as dads get.
do what you makes you happy , do what gives you time with your kids your wife .
ifs its not fun , sit down talk to your wife and take time to think what your next move . talk to your dad too .
even take a week away take a month off
fix some your 37 pins you have ......
now go back and play pinball ITS FUN
I know I wont be in pinball for ever and will enjoy what time I have left and love seeing peoples faces when I drop them off
seeing the kids play and the smile thats just gold for me. but I know in a couple of years we will just have the parts site and a few pins.
you wont get rid of me just yet as we still have a few hundred in stock and working on more but time changes everything.
I will contnue to chase more parts and build the site to service my customers for YEARS to come.
