Practice what I Preach

1 ball starts it all.
The Australian Billiards Champion only got one ball for 1 month starting out."THINK ABOUT IT !" was the Coach McHargue parting shot, when meet in hallway.
I played center at 155, listed as 165. Made All League as center on the high school football team. Oh yeah he opened with "Their middle guard weighs 205......think about it. 🤔
 
Okay Lefty is up early this cold start morning.

uh the resultof Lefty's 2nd shot after draining first shot to the other hole. Uh unrequired One Handed! Yikes and by respect to uh Home Rules a hanger is worth 2 😉 20251117_073933.jpg
 
Where was I? Oh yeah the cold start is getting tense as Lefty swings for the record.
4 service zero.
Got it. Lefty is on a one handed terror campaign.
Oh well slipped and fell.
Right replied with a 3 and pft.
Off we go. Into the wild blue yonder .
 
Well a transition to a Three Ball Free for all Challenge that provides entertainment and exercise of both the physical and mental (no landmarks please) (;
 
SIR THERE ARE 4 MINUTES UNTIL FIRST CALL. THE UNIFORM OF THE DAY IS:

Hoodia with cangaroo pocket. uh SIR!!!!

Well the cangaroo pocket is an opportunity to clean the balls.
 
Oh good morning, cold finger morning.
I am hitting them good, so must be going the right way.
Well cold fingers require break so introspection time. What am I doing Right as opposed to the normal wrong analysis. 😉
Phenolic tip
Good chalking protocol
Good foundation and form work
Good attitude
And uh oh yeah I focus on impact occurring first at the tip then ball to ball. Seeing the rotation of whitey as it leaves my cuetip is enlightening. Shrug 🤷‍♂️
 
Oh good cold morning. 11.22.25:
Whew 3 ball challenge in uh The Wonder Bar , Bullhead City, was an interesting and enjoyable time. Slim pickin time of the economy was obvious. My wife Jackie dominated the little bitty 3 ball field. She produced the only 3! My kinda game. 😉 I did provide a par 4 or 2 to break even.
The expression was, "a tie is like kissing your sister." But well the game was fun.
I even picked up a $10 8⃣ ball game. The youngster nipped me for 20 on our last meeting. 🤷‍♂️ I had a good test that I passed but got the pleasure of the competition. Had a slow start but deep pocket so, I got my 20 back and the youngster got a free 20 dollar 8 ball lesson. 🤷‍♂️ Definitely the "Old Man's" game. I paid for my lessons. 🤷‍♂️ His is still smarting for sure. He played well but slipped and fell. 3 times scratching the 8. 🤔
 
The Jedi Mind Trick.
Be The Shot Maker.
Well in 8 ball the leverage points are employed first to improve percentages.
When the impressive shot is made, it must be followed to complete the game. Leaves a mark .
So one great shot can lead to no more required.
Just gotta keep the mind right and clean the table uh, "like the cow ate the cabbage".
 
Oh Gosh, repeated 7 times.
The news!
Meidastouch network is making it obvious.
Wow just wow repeated as needed.
Just F bomb them! Huh? Oh No he'll no. Who is going to explain to the Judge.
Here Come the Judge ,....repeat as enjoyable. 🤷‍♂️ 😉
 
Bird bird bird, Birds the word. 😉
Give 'em the bird.
Happy Thanksgiving and uh Vote . Well when ever. Let them know when it just ain't right. "Right? Am I right?" Was a favorite Double Kiss Doolie question.

The coffee cup warmed in the microwave is the first 2 picture. Left vs Right on shot #10 of The Chase.
The score at 5-4 Lefty proofed method. And within the morning practice time allowance. 😉
Happy Holiday and Thanksgiving dinner Always has a Prayer.

Peace on earth and good will to All.

Cold finger morning is the weather.
Humidity and temperature are factors . So cold and damp is the concisely measurement. The cloth and ball interaction is effect Ed.
Being aware of the precise rotation of whitey is a good reason to observe er uh watch as Yogi said. 🤷‍♂️
Hocus Focus? At times the precision I produce seems magical. (To Me!) Shoot I was just trying to come close. 🤷‍♂️
My morning Challenge is On the clock. 😉
Gives me a meaningless grade er uh number. Well globally meaningless but of value to me to analyze progress or consistency. Keep motes within the recording in the ships log. You Do keep a log. Right? Well for the Ladies, A Diary. 😉
So yeah start the 16 shot chase. Ready set go.
 
Under the bill is the drill.

10 second timer. Watch er look notice and delete. The camera is a tool, uh fool. No offense intended. 😉
The pose is held till the camera clicks. The bill limits field of view to white ball. Period, green background is of no interest when easily distracted.
 
War Crimes
is the topic of the day.
Lie Cheat and Steal, comes to mind. My first oath as a cub scout sworn to never. I still strive to abide by it. 😉 Well deception is required in poker. 🤷‍♂️
Uh oh flashback 😉
As a Cadet at USAFA, a fond memory was a poker game during finals week. Our monthly allowance was 14 dollars. Or maybe 24. Our 1/2 a second lieutenant pay was billed for our uniforms. Leaving my account at 1400 at departure after a 1 and half year of training. 🤷‍♂️
Where was I?
Oh yeah it was Mark Heinricker's game and I was the only 4th class Cadet to dare. I made 2 weeks pay and still got my C minus average. Possibly a D+ but it was enough. Heck the seniors had a nice pool for lowest ranked graduate.
Survival is my strongest suit. Listen to the military leadership that resigned to uphold their oath. I resigned but never recanted on my oath to support and defend.
Never shoot bomb and maim innocent and or helpless defenceless people .
 
It's a fitness program.
Be fit, both physical and mental. Cause like Yogi said, "Half the game is 85 percent mental. " Shrug
I absolutely play my best when, "I 've got my mind right." Right? 😉 Feeling good about what I am doing brings my best. And of course season that with, uh? "Self Rightchous Mad" and it the fireworks could be spectacular.
Of course the song includes, "LIVE IN FAME OR GO DOWN IN FLAME". 🤷‍♂️
