    You can still find them. There's an awesome arcade in Northern Illinois. $20 at the door, play as much as you want, open late, and you can leave and come back. It's a drive, but I have to go a few times a year.

    Sometimes I wonder if placing lit cigarettes on the start buttons of the machines was very sanitary.

    You do seem like the type to hate everything popular.

    But at the same time Stranger Things is popular because it's just so high quality.

    No I'm just not a big fan of it. I've loved many a popular thing but Stranger Things wasn't funny or interesting to me.

    You know, after I posted and got some answers, I ended up doing a bit better than usual today, hahaha. But I tend to agree, it seems to be luck of the draw mostly.

    Can I ask you how to do your hits. I grab them with HIT finder and then they go to HIT catcher. I don't know if there is a limit to how many that can be in there to be effective, so I am still experimenting with it a little bit. If you use it, can I ask how many you keep in there?

    I'm glad you mentioned that, it reminded me there is a place about a half hour from here that has a bunch of pinball machines, both new and old.
    I really need to remember to get over there one day, I'm gonna tear the Twilight Zone machine a new ass!

    So, I went to go see my grandma earlier and she asked me for money so she could buy a beer. I'm like, 'Uhh... this is a hospital. They don't have beer, grandma.' So she tells me that last night the guy had beer behind the desk but they wouldn't give her any because she didn't have money. I just gave her five bucks.

    I hate watching the decline, but damn if some of the shit she comes up with isn't funny.

    You want to keep it to a minimum. 2-3, no more than 5. It cycles between the hits so if it's set at 1s and you have 5 in there it's only trying for each hit once every 5 seconds.

    This is a good point. I forgot that when we lived in the woods 14 years ago our sliver of 10 acres was long and narrow and could be shot across during hunting season. So I guess that was scarier than being eaten by a bear. Almost.

    A neighbors cow got shot. And a local teacher got shot at because the hunter said her gloves looked like antlers.

    Our golden retriever went through a LOT of orange sweaters and vests this time of year.
