I don’t even know anymore. If it’s obsolete, I’m in to it.
I forgot I have this account. So here are two dogs that I think were stealing this car and wanted me to go along. I didn't. Part of me wishes that I had.

This came out of a basement and boy oh boy was it tricky. Super thankful. My two sons were able to help me out with this one.

New side art installed on Captain America and the Avengers Arcade. It came out pretty nice I think.

Well, the Williams space Mission pinball machine sold within just a couple of days. I was shocked. So I moved Captain America into the avengers into my booth space.

This Williams "Space Mission" pinball machine is now done and is going into my antique store booth this morning to be played as well as to be for sale. They grow up so fast.

It has taken I don't know how many hours to get even this far, but it feels really great. My garage is finally shaping up to be a new kind of workspace for myself. I think I have made efficient use of the space for working on simultaneous arcade and pinball project.

I now have three project pinball machines in various states of forward progress.

I got some of my first test plays in on the Williams Space Mission pinball machine I've got in the shop. I have a long way to go still, but there's definitely some promise.

Definitely would never have been ready to be on the planet without Brian. But here we are.
I've never cared for a musician as much as I did him.

I don't resell clothes. Except… When I pick up A mid 70s Schott Bros Co 613 One star. I couldn't not grab it, it is in fantastic condition. Some light cleaning, some Leather Honey soap, and conditioner and we are good to go. I'll take it outside for a photo shoot and list it in a bit.

I found myself today in a backwoods bar and dance hall. A mile off of the paved road, probably unknown to most of the locals. It hasn't been open in years. I was allowed to treasure hunt. I found some cool stuff. I look forward to going back soon.

I found a 1979 Williams Tri Zone pinball machine while in someone's basement. I was there to look at something else altogether different. They are moving and can't take everything with them. Very pleased to have made an unexpected deal on a machine that needs a little repair. Picking it up tomorrow!

This is what tariffs look like. I paid that tariff, not a company in China. They send the money on my behalf, but it comes out of my pocket. Now I have to transfer that over to a consumer.

Today is my last day working directly for BIG corporation. I've waited a long time to be able to say that. Tomorrow I start a full-time gig as a reseller of fine and obscure items. I will travel the countryside, obtaining the bobbles and curiosities that someone is looking for.

Tomorrow is my last day at a job I disengaged with years ago. I feel like I should be more nervous. I'm effectively jumping out of a plane with a parachute I built myself.

Pro tip. Don't try to drive across your lawn in the spring time in Maine. The frost is coming out quickly. This episode brought to you by the ne'er-do-well neighbors.

I don't normally buy glassware, but when I do, it's uranium glass and I buy a lot of of it.

Annexing Canada means adding millions of angered left leaning voters. Then trying to make it a state? You get a state with a ridiculously huge electoral college vote. That's a great plan if you never want a conservative party to ever be in control of anything again.

I resigned from a steady job to go be self employed in a shit economy. Stay tuned for this debacle.
