noted! I know in the past I sent an email around Sept 2018, asking if it'd be cool to come visit the factory. John Fuhrman owned it at the time and said they can't for insurance reasons. Has that changed or do they have a guest area now? I promise to be respectful and not go all willy wonka factory kid on all the machines.

I've never experienced that, I never did call first though, just stopped in and they never made me feel unwanted. That being said, I always had a reason for stopping in, never went there just for a look see. If you do go, lock your car good, and make sure your insurance is up to date just in case, ha ha.

No Ronnie?

Ronnie O'Sullivan will be playing his first match in this year’s competition on Tuesday, 21 April, at 9:30 a.m. EDT. He will face He Guoqiang in Round 1, who has won two of the three matches they have played against each other.

This year will be Rocket's 34th appearance at the tournament, having played in it every year since turning professional.

It makes me think Ronnie's performance in his first match will get potential finals attention and that kind of pressure.
I really expect that Ronnie will feel no pressure, his opponent on the other hand. Underdog can bite.

Since we are showing the dark places inside...

The last 3 times I did home shopping (online) I tried to buy paper towels and got tp instead.

This last time, I knew gdamn well that I had failed the previous 2 and searched for "paper towels".

I got home and it is another fn tp.

I think we all know it was a Cadillac-ack-ack.

The cold morning start is one handed to get the base and balance set.
Oh boy it's cold fingers.
Using a home depot receipt as a table saver for the drills. Folding into a paper airplane for amusement. One handed practice provides amusement while developing a foundation and balance followed by timing exercises.
Go slow at first then when the mind is right.....fine music can be played . Works of art .....by an old fart.
Keep fit no Shi*.
16 shots in an hour is my goal.
Off we go into the Wild Blue Yonder.

"You lucky boy." Yeah right. You create your own luck. Xhao takes the lead to finish the morning session. So the later today resumption should be good.
The over theshoulder look at his final lucky shot shows the precision strike to the white and the curve ball result that was oh so close to the make. Perhaps Zhao was aware that the scratch was blocked by a certain double kiss. He hit it Good and would not miss the next session bar emergency.

Cold finger morning, 4.19.26
The Snooker is on with Highfield vs Xintong.
4-4 and I am just getting started with my daily er uh morning fitness.
My current exwmeecise is precision building. As I am one finger typing to the tiny buttons of my ancient cell phone. An exercise in the precision of the strike with finger tip to screen. Well the phone in the 9 inch goose neck flex holder makes for a good precision strike exercise. Kinda like juggling to develop hand eye timing is huge I
