My wife might give me a pass on the "possessed" story, but never believe it
Thanks, Larry.

Great story, Lou. I'm just glad he did not look at your shafts and asked who the a** hole was that butchered them.
Great story. Everybody knows that I am a huge Ginacue/Ernie G fan.
I hopefully will make a trip out to his shop sometime in the next year or so. I am just afraid of of the same thing happening to me as did to you. Leaving there having ordered a cue that will require a second mortgage on my house. :smile: :smile:
Again, thanks fo sharing...................

Lou,
Just tell your wife a sad little observation I heard recently.
As we all know...there is almost NOTHING made in this country anymore..:frown:
About the only functioning industries we have left, are Prostitution, Yard Sales, Pro Sports, and Breweries.
Tell her that she should be glad you did not pick up a hooker, at a yard sale, and take her to a ball game, and get her drunk on $8-10 beers.
Maybe she'll better appreciate your version of economic stimuli..:thumbup:

The cue and its new companions look wonderful, Lou.
Books....
Great Story!
I was looking for the part of the story, where you imagine yourself in the place of one of the blind men (describing the elephant trunk as a tree branch).
You write so very well. Even some of your tart jabs at me, make me laugh. Well, sometimes they make me laugh, a few weeks later.
(The prices for all that work seems reasonable to me for a top cue maker like Ernie).
Write more! BTW, whatever happened to that book you once mentioned that you might write?

Thanks, Murray.
No, actually, he kinda looked at them with a look that was more, "OK, if you say so, but they look good to me" than anything else. Like I said, I just became possessed and was maybe thinking this might be one of my last chances to get the cue 100% Ernie.
Thanks again for the repair work, you're the best!

highly recommends
Murray's work
Thanks, Jimmy. And oh yeah, I now what you're talking about. I fear there may be another cue lurking in my future. In fact I even talked to him just a bit about it during my visit.
I scared what might happen in May :-o
Lou Figueroa
Thanks, Pushout. It was great. Funny thing: other than one brief exchange at the DCC a few years ago, I'd only talked to him on the phone. He's much warmer in person and it was a pleasure to visit with him for a while.

Thanks for the compliments, Joey.
And you, of course know, that the rare "tart jab" I direct your way is made with great affection. Love ya, man.
As to "the book" it's in bits and pieces spread out all over my hard drive. Whenever my wife yells out at me, "Fininshthefrippin'bookalready!" I calmly explain that one day I will probably break a hip, or replace a knee, or something will incapacitate me and I can then spend my bedridden hours organizing the stories and thoughts on playing pool into some kind of coherent whole. Who knows, maybe I'd even sell one or two copies
