I did on one occasion go hands on. Well the guy raised his hand to my wife when arguing. I immediately put him in a loose rear naked. Just controlling and not trying to choke him out. He then tried to thumb my eye. So I put a bite on the thumb and speaking around the thumb told him to knock it...

Folding laundry was the use for some home tables after the kids were grown. 🤷‍♂️ I have revived a couple of free tables found in the little nickel for sale paper. One was in the garage and looked like a car engine had been rebuilt on it. Oh yeah that's now my home table and plays beautifully...

When things were getting tense I would attempt to de escalate by saying, "The last fight I was in I won by 10 yards." The H bar B in Oakdale CA which was the cowboy capital of the world provided the sport of going out back. The first one to hit the ground buys the beer. 🤷‍♂️ Only once was I...

Oh my I am triggered. 😉 Alaska and the pipeline project provided a huge opportunity for a person with on the pool table skills and oh don't forget the gold being mined up there. 🤷‍♂️ I had the pleasure of aquintance with a few that had success up there. One was a Gal that could jump a full...

Again, such a similar history. To avoid the wait the 9 ball ring game was the logical and profit able solution. In the Northwest it was an honest effort with up to 5 players. Shooting from kitchen on scratch. Fouled shot generated option for next shooter. Sometimes the rotation was shuffled...

Fortunately I only encountered that a couple of places. Small taverns with only one table were as Forest Gump would say, "like a box of chocolates". The chalk board adjacent the table with 8 names up made it critical to hold the table for the one dollar games. That was the late 70s and Straight...

Well I have avoided this topic, as I have limited exposure to screw on tips. The best looking solution will possibly cost more than the cue is worth. 🤷‍♂️ Sooo, I would screw the tip in then take my razor knife and cut the leather off and replace with my chosen tip .( Lay Pro for me). Possibly...

That rings so true. The new to me biker bar had me loudly asking the bartender, "Anybody in here play worth a F***?" No response? Go on to the next tavern. One tavern close to home had me , after work racking 9 ball on one of the 4 tables then sitting at the bar with a beer. Kinda like bobber...

Oh crap! I think I have hurt my head. I opened the thread out of curiosity. Wondered how the topic could generate 4 pages of intercourse. Okay! I don't understand it but I can accept it. I am comfortable on my ignorance.

Throwback Wednesday!!!! Well last night's league lessons paid for my beer and a, uh let's see. Oh yeah "Never Count Your Money While Sitting at the Table" is the song lyric that I applied to playing pool as well. I could take a 20 and turn it into 17 ones and fell like I had lot. 🤷‍♂️ I...

Your whole post rings familiar with me. Walking in and playing cold on a new to me table was a natural stall. Generally it would take a while to get acclimated to the table and conditions. The earliest misses tended to set the hook. My personal rule was an hour or a hundred bucks (whichever...

Humidity is a huge factor. Makes the balls stickier. When it comes to chalk less is more. The old time clips of hustler drilling the chalk vigouesly while looking over the table is misleading. A careful touch up while observing the application is what I strive for. I want a thin smooth coat...

30 minutes gets the break with score of 5-3 Lefty leads. Still need to get my mindbright.

Monday is the back to work day. 🤔 Attitude, that arise from feelings. Cue Barbara Streisand, People. The stretch and flex comes first. Ah the luxury of the home fitness room, (tax deductible 😉). Don't forget the therapy along with fitnes. Mental and physical and the melding of your body and...

Sunday funday playing with self. 3 ball break and kick 'em in, race to 10. Left vs Right Ready set go.

Survival was my reason for attending USAFA. Religion was my reason for exit. Without college scholarship er uh attendance. Which for me required scholarship. Which is what I earned through balance physical and mental accomplishments. Realistically, I was not "The Military Type" whew wipes...

The scaffolding resembles my work in Canada. Been there Built That. 🤷‍♂️ I was always lead on that build. My first hand man was better knowledge and skills. At introduction he said, "You are in charge......Until I say you're Not." I said, "Cool." We worked well together. SAFELY and well uh...

Good Morning Sunday!! Done in Good Morning Vietnam style. MY GENERATION. Pray is all I can say. Just be thoughtful in what. You ask for. Peace and Love. My generation. I was knee deep in basic training. 7250 feet above sea level. 😉

The mud ball.

Cleanliness is next to Gawdlyness. The friction at contact is the culprit. Friction at tip to ball is good. Cueball to object ball Friction is variable, depending mostly on the condition of the balls. Some taverns never clean or polish the balls. The 211 in Seattle not only cleaned them daily...
