Agreed! I can still vividly remember the smell of plastic that wafted out of the freshly opened Hot Wheels boxes when I opened them, the ones with the orange track sections in them. To me, that smells like Christmas.

I had the cue repair guy put a new tip on one of the extra shafts I have at our last tri-cup. He suggested a Kamui soft, so I went with that. My other shafts have a Predator Victory Soft, and the stock shaft from my cue has a LePro. I find that I miscue much less using that Kamui than with...

Is that a roll of caps inside that thing???

Honestly, my first thought seeing the original post was "how do they know where to go?" That better be one super accurate GPS! I can't even stay on the gravel when I plow my driveway, I always end up drifting out onto the grass in a few places.

I watched her play Luc Salvas up at Turning Stone a few years ago. Talk about a contrast in styles. He barely let the cue stop before his next shot, and she was meticulous and deliberate on every shot. She seemed to really examine the rack every time she broke (which wouldn't happen if she...

This looks like a test dummy, the way the limbs move after the fall. Sure hope so anyway.

I put the ball in the baggie, and drop a couple drops of cleaner on the ball, then zip the baggie closed and squeeze and squirt the ball inside the baggie with your hands. Hands stay nice and clean, and the baggie helps redistribute the cleaner all over the ball. Then take out the ball and add...

Not sure where this first came up, but I've read about using a small sandwich size zip-lock baggie and Aramith cleaner to clean my pool balls. To whomever first came up with that and/or posted it.....THANKS! Genius idea! It works amazingly well, and probably gets the most out of a small...

I'd just make sure everything was mixed well before you used it again. Like, really, really well.

That's impressive! I still can't run a full rack of 15 more than half the time, and even when I have, there's no thought for leaving a break ball. Good Job easy-e!

I bought a toolbox with contents at an estate sale a few years back, and there was a can of Conservator's Wax inside. I have heard that it is pretty much the same thing as Renaissance Wax, used for the same purposes. I had always planned to try it on a shaft after I cleaned that shaft well, so...

I got stuck on helium. Had the final answer, just couldn't get that last jumble. Good Job!

I was wondering about that. :) You'll get it done, enjoy the process. I played at a place once that had purple cloth on the slate, with green rail cloth, black colored behind the rails, and swirly-grain brown on the sides of the box, and it had huge lion heads at all four corners. Talk about a...

Looks fantastic! Nice job getting that whole deal set up and functioning. ......and my Starlink anticipated availability date was about 5 months ago, still waiting.

Looked to me as though that other car was another cop car. Might just be some on-the-job hijinks, or a little payback from a prior prank.

Fantastic! My company "wellness champion" recently bought a Wii to hook up to the TV in our conference room. She feels that people will use it to do exercises in their free time. :rolleyes: I'd MUCH rather have your table than the Wii. I know that I'd be using it, and I don't see myself using...

I'm guessing that this is the highest finish for a woman at the TS. I have not been watching for more than a couple years and I don't remember a woman ever getting to the top 8. Karen Corr must play pretty darn sporty for that high of a finish in a tournament with so many top players.

They apparently also want you to know what speed they were at, and that it was a Mercedes. Love the deer's expression though.

Earl's match with Mika was visible on the live stream, but was back a table or two. Hard to follow, but still visible. When he was on the hill, he broke and ran most of the rack, but then missed a cut shot to the side pocket, I think it was on the 7 ball, but hard to see in the background like...

I have a hard time getting HR to provide me with a candidate's actual resume. They just send up the system generated info from when the application was completed. I want to look at how they structured their resume, and ask them about parts of it on the interview. I had an early 20-something...
