    I collect a few different things, but I'm also somewhat of a minimalist so I'm very particular with what I have in my collections. My biggest collection would be DVDs; I think I have something like 150 right now. I have a small book collection, which is probably the least impressive. And last year, I got into vinyl records. I have about 25 or so.

      I have 21 pinball machines. 10 are at my location I have had for 7 years or so. I just added a 4th to a location I got about 6 months ago. The new spot is close to home and I run novice tournaments there. My main location is 30 minutes away and I run my league and other tournaments there. I also have 4 pins that a friend owns while he works out of state and will figure out what he wants to do with those once he decides if he is staying there or coming back.

        I've owned a few pins over the years. They are fantastic! Have you a Creature From the Black Lagoon?

        There are two KISS machines now. One from the late 70’s, which I’ve played a few times, and one from 2014-2016. I’ve played that one a few times as well. Both are fun, and one cool thing about them is the art was done by the same guy.

        Don’t have a Creature, but a friend who had a pinball arcade that was closed due to covid has one. That might go out some day if he finds a good location for it. He just got a spot that he put 4 games in and can put up to 8, so here’s to hoping.

      Autographed sports stuff from Chicago teams, UFC gloves, as well as a Goalie helmet signed by the entire Miracle on Ice team. I'm a huge sports fan outside of paintball, and have a room in the house that's got a ton of gear in it. A LOT of signed stuff from the Blackahawks and Bears, including signed jerseys, sticks, Super Bowl Trophies/Stanley Cup, balls, books, cleats, gloves, mini helmets, full size helmets, etc. Great place to watch a game too.

        Sort random question I've always wondered. How much does a pinball machine cost?

          Restoring some old Ram pickups. The step side bed is going on the white 83 Ram D150, The other one is an 82 W250 Power Ram 360 4-speed. the white one is getting a 440 swapped into it. May have to list some gear to help pay for it all.

                Do tell us more please. Do you have to wear a lead suit when getting new pieces or reorganizing?

                Spicy glass made with uranium, lights up under UV light, has relatively low levels of radiation, a touch more than background, or banana, similar to flying or cell phone.

              Cameras. I love photography, always have, but film photography is the stock class of the photography world. I have old cameras, roll my own film, develop my own film, etc.

              One of my photos just got chosen for the Virginia zoo calendar, so the folks at the last paintball event said I can now call myself a starving artist, since I didn't make any money on it.

              But its an awful addiction as they made a ton of good cameras you can now get reasonably priced.

              I don't own as many as paintball guns... Yet.

                I recently started playing disc golf. It 's very affordable, gets me outside more, take about an hour, and I don't have to be serious about it at all. they have tournaments you can enter to win stuff, but I don't care about that.
                There's a handful of courses around me, ranging from pretty open/easy to what I would consider to be built for a very serious player.

                  Over the years I appear to have accumulated about 10 different camping tents.

                  Not because I find them extra interesting or anything, I just do a wide variety of camping and have a lot of different needs based on the trip.

                  -Light weight non-free standing 1 person for hiking.
                  -Cheap Mid weight free standing 1 person
                  -Nice mid weight free standing 1 person for solo BWCA trips
                  -Mid weight free standing 2 person for BWCA trips with my wife
                  -Heavy duty outfitter style 3 person for group BWCA trips
                  -Heavy and taller 3 person car camping tent
                  -Old inherited 4 person tent
                  -12x12 canvas spike tent with stove
                  -couple other misc tents that I’m not sure where they came from

                      I really need to reorganize the yard early next spring. I want to get them facing the same direction and most of the stands need to be leveled. I have some rubber mats to put down under the stands to stop the weeds from growing under them.

                      These pictures are from over the summer before I did my first extraction.





                      Over the winter I need to build a bunch of bottom boards and lids for future expansion.
