    Practice what I Preach

    🤔 A similar thing. Why was I trained in that vehicle? The 8 jet engines consume fuel in the thousands of pounds per hour. Each engine has a throttle and gage. The throttles are linked but independent. A full throttle could generate enough thrust to tear off the wings. 🤷‍♂️ When it came my...

    In the summer of '78 I drove cab in Reno. The deal was I got 50% of the book and paid for my fuel. At that time the fare was a dollar on the drop and a dollar a mile. Booking a hundred a night was average. That usually got around 50 in tips. If I gave them a pleasant ride they tipped well...

    How to Test Out an Unfamiliar Table Quickly and Fully

    Back in The Day 😉. I played nightly small tournaments, starting cold. 🤷‍♂️ If my opponent was stalling while racking , I would bounce whitey off the side pocket point and back to kitchen. Didn't take but a couple of strokes and usually they picked up the pace after noticing that I was...

    How to Test Out an Unfamiliar Table Quickly and Fully

    Developing good habits is important. In my league play, I have developed a personal routine for testing a new table. It is similar to what you promote.

    How do you get down?

    My memory of Cole's wide spread legs leads me to favoring a wide stance which helps relieve the lower back. Billy Incardona might have had the widest stance that I have seen. My entry to the stance compares to cranking the auger. 🤷‍♂️ Slow too. 😉

    A good friend had a unique settling that could compare to a waddle. Once he was settled in he was a rock.

    Jasmin Oushan addresses "going down" in this video. She gives a good presentation and is easy on the eyes while doing it. 🤷‍♂️ A win win. Edit: Oops I see it's already been recommended. Oh well.
