A similar thing. Why was I trained in that vehicle? The 8 jet engines consume fuel in the thousands of pounds per hour. Each engine has a throttle and gage. The throttles are linked but independent. A full throttle could generate enough thrust to tear off the wings. 
When it came my turn in the pilot seat, I was told, "take it easy, Gretchen is puking. " My reply as I pulled back hard and turned right was, "Forget Getchel He's already puking. Let's see what this bird can do!" (Or something to that effect.) I KNEW that the wing tips had 18 feet of variation depending on the load.Flyboy was a tail gunner on that bird. He spent untold hours in the ready room with a pool table.
Using the 3 ball mult eye template as a target for the 9 bal uh shape l. A training aid, forbidden in competition. Makes for a way to score more points in my practice game.
Well apa does want a marker on the table for the 8 ball. Well when conducting survey landmarks are available. But a home plate In my practice game.

Self hypnosis plus The Power of Positive Thinking.
The Routine followed in a hypnotic/robotic manner.
Computer programing
My program starts with the large and concludes with the small. My ring finger muscles are the last to apply influence.
The Stancegoes to the Sumo wrestler.
Make a dance

When in a fight.....focus is key.

"In Form" comes following the formula.
Sunday funday has me visiting er uh revisiting Ray Martin.
Back "In the Day", spot shots were common. Still a good practice shot to check my condition.

The Pen holder grip from table tennis.
Amazing how much influence the ring finger can provide.
Trying to remember how the one ball one pocket was played. I was immersed in Butte creek when Ronnie Allen and The Monk put on a performance at Team Players in Chico. The owner had deep pockets and paid for the show by backing Ronnie.
The hot story involved amazing shots by Ronnie that conclude with a scratch. Headscratch hmmm. My 411 on Ronnie was, "if you are not in on it.....don't bet.

It was one handed. Of Course.
First of July Tuesday 2025.
Sometimes amazed at still alive.
Watched Randy G podcast and found very interesting bio as he is 8 years my Senior.
Seems we hit similar Fargorate numbers, as mine hit 630 ish for a week. I hung at 625 for a while.
Hopefully can swap stories. My interaction with Brieseth was interesting but not rewarding as he would not cut cueball last any uh slack. Kinda My way or the highway vibe. So we had cordial conversation as he was getting the senior gals admiration. I sure didn't want to get between.

Do it the Same. Every time. Well guess that makes it a routine.
Establish the platform for the line of sight.
I so enjoyed watching Ichiro.
Have I mentioned Surgical Precision?
My Dr uh Dr Polka the army Dr. That delivered me in 1951 and nicked me with Tarzan. In '68 he taped me up and sent me back into the football game. He always applied the tap higher than I had shaved the leg. eek grrrr. My knee had displaced in a practice injury. He had me back in battle right away. Post game all the tape cutters were being used so he grabbed a single edge razor blade and motioned me to come. He deftly grabbed the upper edge of the 20 inches of white tape and just placed the blade against the tape and slid it top to bottom. Zorro like. I was so amazed as I gazed, looking for the red line to follow. Oh hell no. Not a nick or cut.
Be Surgical!

The morning after the night before
My favorite Story
is to awaken to the blazing sun, as I was sleeping in the 76 Vega wagon. It had been park directly in front of the main entrance to the tavern. It was approaching noon, so as I wobbled up the steps and into the bar I knew that they had all seen me, uh with drool. I stepped to the bar and ordered a tomato beer. Breakfast .
The Rainbow bread driver was delivering and had seen....When I approached the pool table....he pounced. 20 a game 8 ball gave me a 60 jackpot before I had finished breakfast. Heck 60 could finance another day of party on.

It's the size of the fight in the dog.
Stand your ground.
"I can't beat your slow game." Is my favorite quote. 14 racks of 9 ball in 45 minutes.
Well I guess if you don't get a shot for 45 minutes.....it wouldn't be fun.
Uh oh gotta know when to Walk away and when to RUN.
If you see me running. ...keep up.

Favorite quote is unatributed, "the last fight I was in I won by 20 yards. Ta dump, rim shot.
The My ching Oh the Day.
If someone is giving you a line of shit......plant a garden. tomato would be my choice.
A tomato plucked from the officers cold box was my first....well first that I liked. Love
them now.
One week of wilderness survival at +10,000 feet. I was first to get to the steak barbie Q.
Survival is my pool method. I guess headscratch.

The typing lessons in high school didn't allow music in the headset for typing 101.
So my dexterity was enhanced through the typing lessons and practice. Trying to keep up with the girls was a real challenge.
Did I mention, the Ring finger is the trigger finger? And look at whitey when you hit it. The feedback is valuable. Practice practice practice.....
