    Are we all playing with the same leather (layered / solid) tip after 4-6 months?

    I, personally, get 1.5 to 2 years on a single hard tip. And perform tip maintenance about twice a year.

    Still alive at 65.....!!!!!

    They stick a catheter up your urethra with a tool that bores a hole out of the center of the prostrate (leaving the urethra sound) but so that when I go through radiation (later) the prostrate won't swell up and close off my ability to pee. Yeah--its no fun.

    New Mezz cues and new Mezz pool shoes

    For me, I have not owned a third pair of shoes for 5 decades. I have my normal shoes, my previous pair of normal shoes, and some nomex driving shoes since normal shoes are too wide for the footwell of my Ferrari. I though a closet full of shoes was a monochromosomal trait.

    League handicaps

    Did you keep an accurate history of matches between joe-random and suzie-nonchalant ??

    Repair laminate on rail

    On a more "to the point" note:: Next time the cloth on the rail is off for replacement; take some epoxy and color it to match the wood, smear some on the missing spot, place a 1/8"th backer made of teflon and clamp until epoxy sets. Then continue with the cloth replacement.
