Respect is the topic oh the day. Respecting the tools is Basic.
Safety First!
Basic Safety violation got me a Rub on my finger. 60 grit disc removes material quickly.
Just a couple layers of skin. 🤷‍♂️
Good thing was No Glove. Gloves are forbidden around spinning equipment. PERIOD !
 A glove
caught in a drill press or similar can be a Big loss.
I got a little too comfortable with my skills and coordination. Was just Knocking the Edges Off the parts for My Rocker, Chair. 🤷‍♂️
Lifes lessons are less expensive when a person can learn from the mistakes of others.
So looks like My Rubbing will be done with The Other Hand, well for a little while.
it's just a flesh wound, Doc....and "I will be better as soon as I am able." Is a Beatles lyric that I recall. 🤔
 
We have a Rocker.

Well the skeleton.
So off on my rocker eta.
Off my rocker I Goooooo. Into the Wild Blue Yonder.......at em boys give er the guns.
......spouting a flame from down under.
 
Ah the fleating thoughts.
Er uh, oh yeah.
The Power of Positive Thinking is a book that I recall hearing of. I experienced it in my pool table performance.
Feeling good about where I was in life brought my best tournament performance. Even if I had quit my day job 2 weeks prior. Took 2 weeks to prepare wih a training regimen built on my sports training. Starting with little league baseball at 8. Through the most varied sports training at USAFA in 69 and 70.
Sooo my training included abstaining from er uh it was called gambling but was more accurate as small ball with 25$ a night average while maintaining the 500 a week day job.
so when I played My Best the 2nd place got me uh? 350 ish pay for the 3 week investment????
Now My Positive thinking starts with Fun. When playing with the dogs it becomes run.
Running to develop stamina. Keeping blood to the brain is critical in times of strain. Got to experienced hy poxia in Cadet training. The altitude chamber that set the altitude equivalents of oxygen. Similar to gravity effects in centrifuge. Knowing when you start to feel it. Knowing when to walk and knowing when to run. I never quite cracked or perhaps I did the 5 minute mile. 2 miles had me mid pack at 2 miles squadron event with 40 squadron putting up their best. 🤷‍♂️
Edit: And oh yeah knowing when to take a knee. 🤷‍♂️
A hope and a prayer shots are done by taking that knee as soon as the ball has left the tip.
😉
It's All about control of the cueball. Making the object ball travel accurately is a factor thereof.
The balance of odds is a step.
Baby steps are often all that's required. Why would I show full speed? Oh yeah The Girls! 😉
Cole knocked the back off the pocket with the long and hard 9 ball, while looking into the eyes of the cute waitress. She was smitten, luckily my Wife was there to counsel. 🤷‍♂️

works good in my senior citizen fitness program.
The 16 shots provide a balanced meal.
The Left vs Right emulate competition as opposed to practice, er uh competition practice. 🤷‍♂️
The phenolic tip no chalk one handed jacked up is my favorite well uh current morning fitness routine. Gotta stretching cue to the ceiling and squats to the eyes at table level to confirm sighting.
Give it an hour or 45 minutes and take your grade. Keep score. Use the scores then discard. 🤷‍♂️
Well my on the wall evideis around 85 days scores. Whew kinda like a straight pool high run. 🤷‍♂️ 😉
A quick assessment shows a balanced Right vs Left comparison. So the challenge for me is knowing which hand is feeling best.
 
OH DEER! (no deer ass too high run too fast 😉)
Right hand just cut ii in on the 16th to tie it 8-8.
