Some great posts here.
I've had some ups and downs in the hobby.
I've had months where I just played the crap out of pins, that just one more game feeling.
Other times I haven't gone near them for ages.
I'm going through a bad time ATM with some bad medical issues and have lost the feel of playing.
My partner who is also a pinhead try's to get me playing again but ATM I'm not feeling it, as she throws her high scores on my pins lol.
