These guys weren't coming back ever to play. They just wanted what they thought was stealing and run with the cash. Well, maybe I could have strung the lawn guy along a little better...he's here once a week.:wink: Johnnyt

PS: I'm a little out of practice with the lemon gig too. It will probably all come back to me soon.

There were two house painters painting the house next door today. I saw that one was very interested in watching me play on the patio from his ladder. I figured I’d start missing a lot of shots and make believe I didn’t know he was watching. Hell, I figured it won’t cost me anything and it’s good lemon practice.

About a half-hour later he comes up to the fence and says, “You hit them pretty good, want to play a few games?”
I say, “I only play for cheap sets, like a $100 or two for a race to 7 nine-ball.”
“I’ll play you one set, race to seven for $200”, He said.

To make this short, he came over. I let him use my Dale Perry and my break cue. I won the set 7-2. Both games he won by making the 9 on the snap once and a dead one-foot combo on the 9 the other game. He had a killer break, but his game wasn’t too much.

Now let’s see. That’s the landscaper for $300, the mailman for $275, the Fedex guy for $220, and now the painter for $200 in less than 6-months, and I never had to leave home. I only wish My patio was on the street side. Then I could really get some traffic. I love when plans come together. Johnnyt

Thinking about the garage . . .

just hit the door opener when I am ready for business!

Johnny is the man. He has got himself a fine little home business there for an old retiree. Wait till he nails a roofer, that should be a score!

All that practice is really paying off! Good for you! Maybe I'll have to think about putting my table in the front yard instead of in the basement!;)

Pretty cool Johnny. No need to go on the road just let the road come to you. Tomorrow I'm moving my pool table closer to my front door.

So, was this painter fixing up the house of the guy that called you in for making too much noise with the pool table?

Does the painter charge by the hour, or by the job? So, how much do you think you cost your neighbor? :wink:

Yeah, he was painting that guys house. Said he's paint mine for $1200. He probably could do it for $1000, but tacked the $200 on from the lost set. Johnnyt

Might be.

Johnny tells some good stories and appears to be leading a pretty exciting life. I would assume he's crossed paths with others here that can vouch for his credibility that you have called into question.
