What was the bonus $ for a 147? Times two? He might already have more money than first prize...

Looks like the extension breaks down further, but he couldn't get it apart, so finally just used the whole extension.

All Blue Label for quite some time. Breakers is probably more likely for action, but I'm sure it can be arranged at either location. ;)

As you are well aware, it's been unusually hot/humid this month in the NOVA area. Revolutions isn't normally that bad. Revolutions in good, but First Break in Sterling and Breakers in Herndon are both much better, IMHO. :)

I keep a half-dozen in my case...I've been using Pooldawg8's tips for over ten years. His last a long time and play as good as any layered tip I've ever used.

RIP. He possessed the sweetest stroke and address of a cue ball that ever existed.

I graduated from McDermott to Joss around 1992 (J15 and J11), then bought a Schon and never went back. Dabbled with some custom cues since, but that old Schon STL17 still makes an appearance. :) The old McDermott C and D lines were solid cues. I miss my D23 every time I see old pictures of...

And let's not forget Efren...just his index finger and thumb.

Ralph Greenleaf, too.

Final (for now)...new big screen, two Brunswick spectator chairs and some more wall art...:)

My got installed in my new house, they slid the slate (wrapped in furniture pads, down the steps, also covered in furniture pads). They were also using cargo straps slung under the slate. I couldn't stand to watch it, but it worked out really well...

I really like my Propel.
