until you get to at least 50 a game, not sets, you aren't really gambling just social betting.

I can get $2k out of an ATM

You don't have to carry cash, you can go to an ATM to get cash if you find a game that way you don't get robbed.

Life is hard

10 years ago I would have been bored by this collection because of the lack of inlays & other intricacies. Now, I'm smitten by every single cue here! One of the most beautiful collections I've seen in recent times! I can truly say I am envious!

Now here would be a team match that would put asses in the seats: One team decked out in tuxedos, the other team in wifebeaters.

way too fine for taking wood off unless you got plenty of time and lots of sand paper. that is your problem.

you need to start with better sand paper, minimum the 3m brand. and use a coarser one and work your way down to finer grits untill you get the smoothest finish.
if you are starting with say 100 grit you will take forever.

I've done over a dozen of my shafts and it's only the recent ones from China that put up a fight. The Valhallas, Players and Mac Luckys - no such problem. 150, 200 will start and finish the work. Minimal follow up with finer grade wet paper.

A friend is about to open a pool room (his fourth) with a golf simulation room. I think that’s a natural combo.

My kids and their friends always groused about not getting to play with my good cues so I bought a few Players and Valhallas. They are thrilled and think they are playing with Balabuskas and Szambotis.

I gave my son a new cue. He never really cared much for the looks nor what it is. I only gave him another one once he learned how to take care of his own starter cue which received a few abuses. Once he started getting the habit of taking better care of his old cue then I went and got him a better one. Once he tried the new one, he was hitting better and appreciate the new cue even more and handles it better. I got him a midrange players with an avid shaft. I'm also an evil dad.

I've been toying with the idea of opening a small room for he last 10 years or so and finally decided to pull the trigger. The problem is that right now seems like the wrong time. With viruses and jobs lost, people losing their minds over simple things like "my choice is greater than your choice". I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that thinks this way. Not to mention the cost of equipment and permits. What do you think?

Where yah at now with matters?
