Hoping the ice stays away. Driving to Dougs shop @ the Billiard Club near St. Louis to pick up the cue he built for me. My 1st "brand new" cue built to my specs! How cool is this. This will be my playing cue...gonna put the Samsara up to keep the miles off . Had it for trade/sale here but no interest, so I'll keep as a collector, too fancy-rare to be taking a chance of something bad happening to it! Excited to hit a few with my new player, and to hang out with Doug for a few. Merry X-mas to everyone! AJ :grin:
