PINBALL-MADNESS



This weekend I had the good fortune of being able to attend MY 1st PINBALL TOURNAMENT,

Hosted at his home by JR-(John  Reuter) and his lovely wife Linda. I was impressed by the total turnout of people from many different states, genders, ages,disabilities,nationalities and social standings. No matter who you are or what you do or where you come from, the moment you enter their home filled with many assorted pinball machines, you become one an the same as the many other players ready to seperate themselves from the rest of the pack. When you pull that plunger back and release that first ball into play, all bets are off. Its not about the person your playing, its about you against the machine!
  
John's machines are in the best condition then I've found anywhere, arcades, bars, malls, ect. I know for a fact the time and care he puts into his machines as i have helped many times polishing, replaceing lights , as well as many other players who care for the more computerized models...... an these people all know who they are!

So thank-you John for the use of your beautiful pinball machines. Plus a special thanks to John and Linda for the use of thier lovely home  to host this event!
As for me, I went home with a SECOND PLACE TEAM  TROPHY and $ 25.00 , sore index fingers and a sense of accomplishment!!!
                 
Greatfully yours:     ERRWUD
