Practice what I Preach

Maybe a half hour? Every morning, up hill both ways. Shrug.
Good morning Friday August 2, 2024 is it really 24 already is the theme.

Now the physical therapy. Tai Chi is a good format.
Cole had the broadest stance available. My final mental note on Cole was the foundation. His stance and presentation at address was such that if he passed out.....gravity would make the shot. 🤷‍♂️
One to the teal 10 seems simple ist.
Set go.

20240802_064908.jpgLeft vs Right at 10 seconds. Neither scored but the line is fine, just need to find the speed.
Thunder and lightning morning. Off we go....ust be time for meditation music. Hmmmmmmm 😉
 
Lefty finally got a 6 after the oh so close zero. That's plenty on the physical therapy....so race to 6 at 6-2 seems appropriate. Off we go 2 or more to the 12 ball.
 
Right replied with a 6....8-6 takes us to our favorite challenge, 3 or more to the king 15. Set go
 
Lefty got it first! An 8 after numerous 3s and 4s. Gotta go the concrete work is calling.
 
Made another Sunday funday! 📣 Whoop E!
Saturday including weight work. The shovel and wheel barrel were the tools. Concrete walkway 🤷‍♂️ and the mixer wink.

The Slow start or gentle start as in stretch and flex first.
Rolling the cueball with the ferrule is one method for me.
Sooooo clips of 2. Once the foundation is set. 2 shots going so close to the point of the side. Cueball must be moved only with the tip or ferrule. Left vs Right

Target 2, going 2 rails to the ball adjacent the bridge hand. On this equipment requires back it up spin which puts the strike to whitey on the side adjacent the other cueball. There are 2 on the launch pad. Makes the observation of the contact and follow through a neat observation. The vibration in my shaft is interesting. The achievement of getting the speed spin right without foul is rewarding.
Got the reps so invoked the Senior citizen rule. That's enough let's go to target 3.
 
The 'Everyone Can Look' thread must have triggered. Me.

Just Showing offis the title. First stroke ain't no joke. First of the day. 🤷‍♂️ I loved being lead off hitter in Little League baseball.
Right laid in a Maximum. I take it as a sign from the Gawds. Pool gawds that is. They have a sense of humor.
3+3+3+1
That dispatched the 13 ball. Now to go for my personal record. 2 or more to the Little Ole 11 ball. Off we go.
 
Lefty replied with a 3 going 2 rails to the 11. Right came back with a 7 from heaven.

It is so close to a second maximum that we move on. 3 or more to the king stripe 14.
A fitness program....is what I see. 🤷‍♂️
 
Lefty does his job and maps the shot with a 4.

Now to see if Right can make one more....for the Gimper. Shrug
 
Target3 gave a short workout of the dance. By chance Right finished it with a 9. 🤷‍♂️
THE Trophy 🏆 photo. 😉

Kick ball 3 ball is a practice that I was using for at least a week before the Big Show. 2nd behind Jim Ward was an honor. I was on survival mode as I had quit my day job. So for a quarter I got my morning practice on the bar table. 🤷‍♂️
So 3 ball it is. Lots of break practice.

The stick and Balls o the day. 🤷‍♂️ For me the first depicted here is a body shot. Right made 3 consecutive 4s with Lefty getting a 4 on first stroke but faltered with a 2 next. So 2 rails to the yeller 1 ball. Hmmmm Lefty service 6-12.
 
Oh yeah the Auditor fear factor is real.
Any fear factor works for me. Kind of hard to find in practice, so I just focus on the physical therapy.
20240807_072650.jpg

The result at target 2 with the cue on the first leg of 2 to the yeller 1. Now to find 3 or more to the king royal purple 4.
 
Finding the fun of accomplishment is the thought o the day. Political battle heading that way. 🤷‍♂️ enough of that. My personal health is under repair. So the uplift of accomplishment is my therapy reward. Like A Scooby-Doo snack. 🤷‍♂️

The thunderstorm has left lots of moisture in the air. The first picture is the cue balanced on whitey on the first leg of 3 to the king 15.

The last is Lefty's trophy 🏆. A come from behind victory that indicates the left shoulder is recovering and discomfort is being pushed daily to regain range of motion and duration.
It's a fun shot that required close proximity to the corner. On this equipment it was the center ball top strike that provided the Maximum. Whitey traveled in close proximity to the king and the pocket on leg 2 made for entertainment. 🤷‍♂️ We all have things that we enjoy. Accomplishment involving both physical and mental is my addiction or maybe affliction.
If you wanna run with the big dogs.....get off the couch. 🤷‍♂️ no offense intended.....just Hu. More.
Silence is golden but the truth can be amusing.
So as Grandma used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say.......Let's Hear It." 🤷‍♂️ Bahdump
 
Shirley I got done early so.....billiards. A personal invention. Wink
3 whites 3 colors and lose the pads.
Shot a white to hit another white and play the colors to the pockets. One point when pocketed and then return to the table on center spot. With head then foot spot if occupied. Same order for any cueball return to table. A scratch is a -1 event.
Off we go.....into the wild blue...
.
Yonder!
 
The Oh Gawd thought is "I've got my mind right" .
A maximum execution by Right.

Is followed by a 6 from Lefty going around the king to the back of the 14.20240810_063045.jpg That's enough of that. Now 3 or more to the king ball. Go.
 
Oh Shit! The end end side is available was proven by Lefty.....but it's uh not easy. 🤷‍♂️ This could be fun! ☺
20240810_064143.jpg
Yeah that's the ticket. Get to the side rail adjacent the middle pocket. Off we go.
