thanks everyone for the positive thoughts and well wishes, not to suck the mood, but my mother in law has confirmed multiple cancers in breast, spine and glands so not looking good, waiting on treatment options and how long she has. Such a shame as she is a really lovely woman, a very giving person and my wife is shattered which is so hard for me as not alot I can do except be there. Though my mother in law is the most positive person and helping everyone else - amazes me.
as for job prospects - none at the moment
positive thing is I can be there for my wife and kids at the moment and puts everything into perspective, pinballs etc are nice but not important in comparison to family and good friends.
as for pins, IM has left, Baywatch up and am using Creech to document some 3D designs for some future concept pinball designs that I am going to tinker with and then to a new owner that has been kind enough to help me out to hold for a little while.
No need for comments, just wanted to sum up and will let people know when things look up...... Go and enjoy your pinball.
