Bumpers
My brother shoots at bumpers some and I have been there twice. I actually enjoyed it a lot. They have great tables and good service. There is a place up the road called Shooters but I like Bumpers better as does my brother. How long are you going to be in the area? Hope you enjoy the night.

Just this weekend..
Yeah, I enjoyed it, although it didn't seem like anyone was interested in playing with me. The tables played great and seemed to be in good condition.
Do you know what the armband is for??? The manager gave me a card to get a free one.

I think the band is to show you paid the five dollars for your time. Is it still five dollars for all the pool you want to play? If you are heading south on 65 stop at the Rack & Cue in Cullman and I'll play some, its 40 miles from Huntsville.
Yeah it is still 5 dollars and yes the band is to show you paid. I guess also to go outside and come back in without paying twice. That place gets packed on league night but was dead the last time I was there on a Saturday.
Is the place in Cullman and older place that has big pictures painted on the walls? My brother sent me some pics of that place. He said they were playing 6 ball on a snooker table for alittle bit.
Yea, the owner at that time had a artist to paint pictures of all the regulars on the walls. It opened around 1960. I did have a few playing 6 ball on the snooker table for awhile.
yeah it's $5...
Yep, $5...That was a pleasant surprise cause when I checked out the balls and asked what the table time was the girl behind the bar answered $5, so I thought it was $5/hour...
Cullman's actually closer to me than Huntsville, I'm in Guntersville...so yeah let me get up and around and get some of the stuff I need to get done.

Hey, I was in Huntsville, in the mid-eighties, going to bomb school at Redstone.
Is it still there?

Tramp-me too, only different.
I was at Redstone Arsenal in late 60's for electricity/bomb school in July/August-mighty humid.
Still remember the ground shaking from Static fire tests of Saturn 5 engines.
Jaden-hope you get a game.

I used to work for Intergraph, from 1990 - 2000. In those ten years, I made many a trip down to Huntsville (to the Intergraph corporate HQ campus) for training, seminars, meetings, etc. Stayed in the corporate apartments (back when they owned them), drove around in a fleet car, etc.
Interesting you guys bring up the Saturn V. You might want to know that NASA engineers recently pulled a Saturn V F-1 engine from mothballs, plucked the gas generator (the fuel pump) from it, refurbished it, and lit the thing up several times for tests.
Keep in mind this is just the *fuel pump* for a single F-1 engine (the Saturn V rocket has *five* of these beasts). This fuel pumps generates 31,000 pounds of thrust -- powerful enough for a rocket to deploy a satellite! (A single fully-deployed F-1 engine generates 1.5 MILLION pounds of thrust.)
A few friends on Facebook that live in Huntsville posted that these tests could be heard all throughout the entire area around the Marshall space center. Can you imagine what a full F-1 test must've been like? My friend posted this:
"Huntsville folk may be interested in knowing what the rocket testing noise from Marshall has been about the last couple of days. They've been test firing a reconditioned gas generator from an old Saturn V F-1 motor, built before most of the current NASA engineers were even born, as part of research into developing the new generation of heavy lift engines. So all that noise was just the 31,000 pounds of thrust from the gas generator, which spun the turbines that pumped about 3 tons of fuel a second into the F-1 engine. So about the same power as an F16 on full afterburner ... just to spin the turbines to pump fuel into the F-1 engine ... which would then produce 1.5 million pounds of thrust. Now I understand why the full F-1 tests back in the 60's used to break windows all over town!"

Amazing, even today!

With apologies to the OP, I took the Marshall Space Flight Center tour, and saw the building where the Saturn V engines were tested. Amazing.
This was during 30 days of attendence at the FBI hazardous devices (bombs) school at the Redstone Arsenal. :smile:

Hey Tramp,
Now you gone and let the cat out of the bag. Next you will be saying you went to Orange beach, AL, to the gang enforcement seminar! And down to the ATF training center in Alabama. Not to mention the L.E.C.C, hell in Perdido Beach, AL once a year. How about it Tramp! You do get around my friend.
Many Regards,
Lock N Load.
Lock<-------- Missed all of the classes!
I'm afraid I can't divulge that information, Lock.
If I did I would have to change my identity and move to another country. Maybe Bora Bora, Papua New Guinea, or downtown Seattle. :smile:
Jaden...If you're still in the area, PM gpeezy. He loves to play and gamble! :thumbup:
