What is "Good Trouble"
The “good trouble” John Lewis quote encapsulates a profound philosophy that defined his approach to activism. Coined during the height of the Civil Rights movement, this phrase embodies the idea that meaningful change often requires disruption, confrontation, and a willingness to challenge unjust systems.
At leagues last night, my religion required me to confront the childish behavior on the adjacent table. He didn't seem to be aware of how disrespectful his practicing his jump and putting the cueball on the floor while he forced the 2 involved in a league match to wait. I called out after the second or third consecutive jump, as our game was forced to wait on him.
I was not in the game.
Guess I lost all my congenial points, when he came walking towards me with his stick extended. (Like a weapon). I told him, "I will take that stick from you and stick it up your ass." Pretty much my Tiger on the front Jack Rabbit on the back Method. No rabbits were harmed in the exchange. Just bruised his ego. He should be able to get over it.

The Ambassador had the seat that turned into a bed. Crazy like a Nerd (fox) back in the day. A luxury home on wheels. I lived from a 74 Mustang 2 for a winter in the Sea Tac area. So the Ambassador was as a sweet starter home on wheels.
Oh uh where was I?
Luck sure seems like Karma......
When I feel good about what I am doing.......Luck uh Lady Luck smiles on me.
The picture is at 4-4 Right laid in the trophy on his second stroke. ? See what I mean? One handed jacked up. Up hill both ways. Ready set go to target 2 with a bridge.
4 service 13. It was just a 9 but oh so close to the Maxi.

Don't be concerned. The lesson for me is about finding the balance. Station 2 is 2 rails to the dirt color 6 ball. STILL Elevated but with a bridge is a natural.
Finally get a few reps for the Deep squats down to sight at table height. 
Lefty scores first with a 6.
13 service 10.....
Lefty scores first with a 6.13 service 10.....
Right returns a 4...
Lefty with 3 more
Finally (enough reps) Right finds the 7 from heaven. Looks like uh. 17-13. Yep off we go 3 or more to the king. Ronnie is the form at station 3. Hendry is my choice. Shrug.

I uh oh and claim the seniors discount and stay upright and proud, like Mosconi.
Right finds a 6 a says, "pick up sticks ". Now off to play with the salvaged wood.
got the morning stretch and flex.

The way I awarded the day:
3 balls in each hand.
Awarded? A shit fu... correct shun. Starred and farted is more accurate.
The Good Stuff:Or perhaps Testor
2 rails to the purple 4. The white adjacent thedirt color 6 is evidence of station 1 completion.
The precision of the strike to the white is a real challenge on this table. Getting whitey to the rail just before the side and at the right velocity is a cue tip control challenge. Foul on the adjacent cueball is a huge factor. The shot is there.....not so easy though. What fun.

OK Lefty solved it first. It was just beyond the side pocket ....Duh! Rakes the balls. enough therapy that way. Time to build a dog house. Better be big enough for me.

Morning fitness Dude:
The sales pitch includes home fitness device.(makes it tax deductible)
But But I don't ×ant to sell it.
First table self built using Popular Science plan while working at Novo ply. Probably about a year before it blew up. Killing 10 men. My shift. My department. About 6 weeks after I quit.
#2 was uh let's see. Valley 8 foot bar box. Traded 300 dollar truck for it.
#3 a Wendt 9 footer with
Brunswick body and rails found at the dumpster. Moved that suckered 5 times. Once up a flight of stairs with hand truck.
3 more.....
Back to the Routine uh er fitness program.
Wow that's the 2 railer to the purple stripe 12. After a good workout of 2 point shots but finally got a 6 to move on to the 3 rails to the king 14.
Adult only mentions the crotchless pad under the elusive 12 ball.
Well Lefty opens with a 5 to the king! Whew, getting warm in this box. Better finish or get off the pot.

Oh my Lefty hits a 5 again after Right blanks. The shoe is on the other hand now. Right was chirping back at station 2 and the 2 point shot s. Tis best to be humble. ..

Ah the rising sun.
The Balance of Left and Right:
With Lefty being creative and Right being Regimented.
Scotch Doubles is a good way to start on the way . Like learning to walk before attempt to Run. But first you gotta Crawl. One handed to target 1.
Go ahead.
Try it
It's Fun
Is what I told my sister before putting her off the hill in a barrel.
So yeah the low crawl is a skill honed on the Oh course. Obstikal course, of course.
Story alert, no Really, in Basic I won a pint of ice cream for a sub 6 minutes time. My group of 10 was offered the reward for beating our Upper Class Senior. He was so proud of his time. He didn't know they had shortened the course.

Finding the balance points.
Ah the luxury of a dance studio.
A Double good
is the disclaimer. Whitey frozen to the dirt color 6 is the evidence of the 8 point shot. That's the good news. The bad is...Can't remember which hand did it.
The regiment was placing the first 3 pads.
The creative (or lucky) is the light drop for the remaining target.(the dirt ball).
Off we go.......into the wild blue
To find 2 to the teal ten ball.
Laying pipe is the swing thought. The pipe through the cueball. Just like the drill where I stroke through the beer bottle to touch the bottom but not the sides. Laying pipe.
It got a station closing 9. Still not sure which hand. Shrug

Found 3 to the king ball and That's All.

The Old fuddy daddy study:
Station 1 went quick and easy. So 2 rails to the purple 4 is the challenge at station 2.
This layout on this equipment requires a touch of right with only the top side of whitey available. An interesting study watching the interaction of tip and ball.

If the shots Too hard the stick could end up in the yard. Broken sticks make good tomato stakes.
It does have to be hard to be good is the other coin side.
Whew Right finally found a 5 and makes it to 13 as Lefty serves 14 -13 going 3 rails to the king 14. Looking just like Ronnie 0' .....ready set go.

Well 4 rails was Lefty's choice and makes for an interesting study. Angle in vs spin.
The end side side end 4 rails to the king 14 is definitely a challenge, definitely a challenge.
Lefty found it! Merciful as Right was table hooked on the successful angle. An interesting study I hope to remember tomorrow. My fitness wins!
