    Cool racks.................

    You could use a small piece of cardboard as really, really fine sandpaper if you don't want to go buy a super high-grit sandpaper. It's worth a try if your house is like mine. Some a$$hole keeps leaving cardboard boxes at my door for my wife. Just when they start to make me mad, a box will come...

    Cue Maker Out of Business in El Paso. Equipment and Supplies Auction

    It was pure luck that I could see the sign on the pool table. I didn't get a chance to make this sale. Sometimes I see estate sales where people have moved to retirement homes, other times, you know they are "gone." My next-door neighbor sold his company for $110 million, and they had an...

    Cue Maker Out of Business in El Paso. Equipment and Supplies Auction

    I hope he lived a great life and just decided to retire. I think they had $12,700 on the Gold Crown III so I am guessing high. But then again, I've seen sales where the crap is thought to be gold and the gold is priced like crap.

    What do swimming pools and women have in common? You spend an awful lot of money on both for the amount of time you spend in them.

    Automatic pool cue thoughts

    Dang I had quite a few of those old Amerola Aluminum Cues. I had experimented with weights inside of them right where your grip hand holds the cue. 22-24 ounces felt like 16. Down side is the aluminum warps....

    Real leather cases?

    I once bought a really cool leather jacket in Florence. I was scared it was fake leather. We then went to the orphanage/leather school (Scuola del Cuoio) and we were given a demonstration by a leather smith. I asked him if my jacket was real, he said "This is lamb skin, we eat this meat. It...

    I need a Pool Purse.

    I'm traveling and I did not take my Instroke, so I bought one of these for my 2x2 case. (I actually get three cues in my 2x2: Playing, Jump, Break) But I needed something for my shaper and chalk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9RQP8GL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

    Do you shoot pool with a hat on?

    Oooh, if I ever become a hustler, I'll wear my tam to the hall. That should bring about some action. That and a good pair of suspenders. Although my tam is part of the most expensive outfit I've ever worn...
