Prayers to you Marty

I should loan you my 3-piece carbon fiber cue :ROFLMAO: I've brought it as a carry on many times. One day I'll have to see if it goes thru the newest TSA machines.

I’ve been in plenty of bad neighborhoods. Did I feel unsafe, sometimes. I’ve also meet some very friendly people in those neighborhoods. I’ve got a scared to death story from one of my pool adventurers in Ft. Wayne. Same story, bad neighborhood with some very nice people and a few bad ones. I...

It’s about the same as crossing 8 mile road from Oakland county to Detroit. The street, neighborhood, houses, buildings, yards, trash, etc. It just visibly changes, unless you’re blind.

The The drive from Midway up Cicero to Chris’s goes thru a pretty bad area. As bad an area as I can remember almost anywhere in the US.

There’s a 96/97 year old guy that drives over an hour to play at the Rack. I talked to a guy that’s 92 in Ft Worth that still plays.

I’ll be 70 in June. I’ll have a room in the house soon for a Peter Vitalie table that I bought. I’m having the rails extended for 4 1/8” corners.

The Diamond lights at Buffalo’s also have three panels but I’m thinking of using two 2x4 panels instead. I’d like color and wattage selectable. I’m thinking of using Diamonds lights as a guide but making it match the design of my Peter Vitalie Lord Nelson table but a bit more simple.

Chris's or the private room is your best bet. Plenty of action for sure. When I walk in the door they are licking their chops to play me :ROFLMAO:

I played a guy at Felt some last pocket 8 ball not long ago. I felt bad, he really didnt have a chance. when we finished two set sets he said, "you play real good but man, do you shoot slow". I guess I lost my action :ROFLMAO:

I’d be super interested in Randy weighing them on a postal scale that measures to 1/10 gram and use the Willard ball gage on them.

Dang, I’ll have to beg the boss for a Burbank trip this year.

Hi John, just a shout out that I’m still enjoying your cue.

Don’t keep me guessing🙈 what's the name of the room?

Hey Ghost, how you doing? One thing players rarely mention is that the tight pockets give you a longer rail to bank balls in that would be impossible with a 4.5” or larger pocket. I personally believe 4 1/4 corners is the perfect balance between banking, takeouts, and runouts.
