The weather sucks, otherwise it’s great! Most non-Nevadans automatically think of Las Vegas when they think of Nevada. For many, Las Vegas is all they've seen or experienced of Nevada. But the awful weather isn't just the heat of Las Vegas. This was my patio this morning after an hour with...

Nevada has no state income tax. We like to say that the casino tourists pay our taxes.

Yep. And lead icicles. Used to roll them into a ball after the tree was down and use them in a slingshot.

No jewelry. But for years I've tried to find a sterling silver chalk holder. Anyone here have any leads? Should count for something

I've tried and like both- bbb summed it up perfectly Exactly this--- If you want more feel, you will learn and adjust to the extra deflection of kielwood If you want, less worry of dings warping, etc. and lower deflection at least compared to revo go with carbon fiber

It is very sad. Downtown Reno in the 70's and 80's had a classiness and charm which Las Vegas never achieved. But it is a bleak place now.

Nice! Is that one in the center from one of John's creations from Coos Cues?

If you walk around old downtown Reno unarmed at night now, you are gambling.

I grew up in SETX, but left for Nevada in the 1970's. So I won't be able to add stories from the 80's and 90's, but I hope you get good responses. I may recognize some names. I remember being introduced to true 'pool hall' life in the Keyhole Club in Port Arthur back in the mid 1960's to the...

Very true, but I much prefer to use my primary cue no matter where I play. I feel at a disadvantage when forced to use a secondary cue. Psychological, of course, but real to me nonetheless.

I designed my room so that I could shoot on my 8 foot table with a 'full size' 58 inch cue from any position on the table or in the room without impediment. I can do so, but just barely from one of the corners. I could not use a 60 inch cue from those few positions, so me, a 60 inch cue would be...

I've enjoyed your reporting; thanks for this thread. As for the illness, I, too have been ill with Covid symptoms several times now over the past 2 years. Twice I tested positive. Other times I had similar symptoms and did not bother getting tested. The 'treatment' and outcome is the same...

11.75 (I voted 11.8) I don't remember why I got my first shaft at 11.75 with pro taper, but loved it immediately. I have a variety of 11.75 shafts now, including a kielwood and a CF, and like all of them. When I pick up an old 12.5 or 13mm, I can still shoot with it, but it seems like a war...

I think I'll buy two new sets of Centennials just to make sure I can always have traditional colors on my table.

No screen doors or faded mirrors?

Can't discriminate!

I'm not so sure the situation described by Fatboy qualifies as 'pimping oneself'. Sounds like he was approached initially.
