Take it "pin by pin" - "day by day"  *%*

The moment you stop enjoying them - its time to find another hobby. You are in a position many would envy. It should not overwhelm you. You should feel safe with the knowledge that you have 10 challenges ahead of you. There's just not enough hours in the day to be working on them. You need a system to keep your thoughts and priorities right.

Instead of working on them for the rest of the week - PLAY the working games.

It's not "work" - it's FUN !

Edit - if 10 pins leads to depression, then I'm a permanent resident of the pinball funny farm !

I swear they either breed or send a homing signal to other machines, once you have one they just keep coming!

the only thing that depresses me about pinball is not having enough spare $$$$ to complete my projects at the moment. but i will make that change by earning more $$$$. or i could sell them & not have a reason to earn more money. Na I think i will go with the earn more money idea.  *)* :lol

I guess don't feel obliged to do them all, either at once, or even at all.

Pinball should be fun, so if you don't feel like doing one for now, wait until the passion kicks in again.

Man the only thing that leads me to depression (with pins), and I'm not joking either, is the fact that I've got a handful of games on my wishlist, I can hunt them down and grab them, money is not an issue, but, room is. What do I get rid of to replace with the the new game? I don't know, I'm not prepared to get rid of any of the 4 pins I own cause they are wicked games.

To me it's a trip enough to actually own a pinball machine, but to sell one or get rid of one is something I cannot comprehend AT ALL . Won't happen soon, even though I'd like some different pins.

Hey Brad,where are your pins kept,a room inside or a shed outside.If you have them in a shed or garage can you extend that area to make more room.
