0. 0 times 3 then
4. After a buncha zeros. Right lays in a 5.
That's 19 so Lefty serves going into the 3 or more to the 9 ball on the 5 point pad. 10 serving 19.

Got an easy draw this morning. From the yellow pad the treetopped to the teal stripe 10 ball using the left side rail came quickly. The 2 rails around the top right corner to the 9 ball, was a natural and came quickly with a bridge hand. The cocked hat is indeed a favorite and the 4 rail variation was the choice. By going just beyond the side after 3 rails gives 4 rails to the 12 ball on the 5 point pad. 4 rails and leaving the 12 on the 5 hole gives a session ending 9 point shot. 🤷‍♂️ Must be time to go to the bathroom remodel.

Experiments
Just in case you have stumbled upon this playground. Here's historical and occasionally hysterical input. The first and last posts are the way to start. 😉

Rules modifications are always available on the "fields of friendly strife". With 3 consecutive 3 point shots giving the target of the station required 9, uh make it a 4 required to close.
I still need the physical part of the therapy. The mental part is absolute adherence to the script. Start over at every infraction and even add reps for disciplinary method. I so want to bypass the full squat prescribed by physical therapist. It will make me stronger however.(I hope) 😉
 
Lefty does the Drunken Sailor for a 9 taking the lead 14-13 after the barrage of 2s and 3s by the Right. The jabs with the Right sets up the knockout punch provided by Lefty.
Now for 2 or more to the yellow strip 9 ball.
 
The Right finds a 5 to the 9 to achieve 18, the requirements to close the station. Passing the cue to Lefty so he can break trail to the red striped 11 ball needing at least 3 rails.
 
The text book 3 railer. See Willie Hoppe.

A study in precision Striking of the cueball.
My number 1 fault in this challenge is not locking the plan first. It's okay to modify when I get down and it just needs a slight adjustment......fine but get back up and start the dance step fresh.
 
A the Stretch and Flex is easy to overlook going into the morning therapy. Find a way to enjoy the day. Well that's when it becomes a dance. It's a lot easier to Dance in the isolation of My room. Learning to take it to the Show or better still The Big Show.
It still comes down to the focus. My morning therapy has a focus.......Wellness. 🤷‍♂️ Physical and Mental. Finding my center and core values. So it's not the Result it's the beautiful journey. The Joy of Competition. Pure and Simple. By taking this attitude to Competition, I can't lose. Well even if my opponent wins the game, they will have had to put on a stellar performance. I enjoy a good Show. 😉
 
What a way to start a day. After considerable zeros with both hands.

Right lays in a 9 no a 10 point shot! Just the simple side rail to the 15 ball. Shooting from the top of the tree, one handed, no chalk.....And in the snow uphill both ways. 😉 I was just enjoying the angles and friction study. 🤷‍♂️ 10-0.
Now 2 or more to the lucky 13.
 
The left side rail foot rail to the back of the 13 proved simple to make a 4 point shot with 2 for the rails and 2 for on the pad with the white. Right closes the station with a 5. Now for 3 or more to the red stripe 11 on the King pad.
Oh yeah Right leads 19-8. ☺
 
Gotta back it up! Lefty opens with a highly experimental shot. Past the 11 to the foot rail then to the side just before the pocket. Must counteract the natural running english that the side rail provides. The goof ball scores a 4 on the first attempt. Now he's forgotten what kind of mustard he put on it. Shrug. 19 service 14.
 
Oh wow, Right finally hits a scoring shot. It's an 8 with the 11 ball remaining on the 5 point hole! Gives a final score of 27-14. Woop E! Uh oh Lefty is feeling Feisty and and says, "back it and Jack it".
Oh boy what a fun shot. Right rakes the balls. Time to cover the table. We can take this up at the next session. 😉

Lefty insisted on a Trophy photo. At 8-7 he hit the Max 10 for an 18-7 lead. Now to find a 2 railer(or more) to the 8 ball.

The right side to the foot rail proved easy enough and after some 2 point shots Right find a 5 point station closer. Now 3 or more to the teal stripe 10 on the 5 point pad. Wouldn't you know it! It's a tied score. 🤷‍♂️
