Next Monday I fly to LA pick up a new mustang convertible
and start at hard times in Bellflower

If i can find no action there I start home by going to Las Vegas to visit
Mickey,Al and Laurie Franklin whom I have not seen in years
I hope to pick up a new cue and visit for a while

I will be stopping at the best action pool rooms and welcome action from anyone will ing to offer me the nuts or at least what I hope the nuts are

At 70 years old I don't expect to make another trip or play much more so this could be
the last chance to play me

call for appointments


If anyone knows where Eddie Kelly plays please let me know
he was the best I ever saw

I may have a few cues to sell but mainly I want to play $500 one pocket

Denny Glenn son of Pete Glenn will meet me in La and ride with me,he will be buying Balabushkas and szamboti cues and betting against me,so if you need a stake horse
he will be available

I asked bob owen to go with me but he said I should stay home and save my money

so I asked Jerry Rauenzaun and he laughed at me

If Bushwhacker thinks he can still give me the nuts,10 to 4 and the break
tell him to meet me

Is there still action on the pool table?

I mean ,can a person still match up and gamble? If so I will report in
 
You are becoming a legend:). Keep having fun, your a bright spot in the pool community.

Respectively.....TommyT

tips for dean

I will be available for off site coaching for my usual fee. Feel free to call any time.
As we go back a long ways, I'm going to give you a couple of free tips. If you find
yourself in a trap concede the game. This keeps your opponent from shooting so
much and getting in stroke. Keep him in his seat. All balls rotate counter clockwise
just like the water in your commode keep that in mind on all bank shots, this is one
of the best kept secrets in pool. good luck

thanks for the tips from jackpotter

i don't know what you are talking about

i believe you were in with me when i played pete glenn,the true
hustler

please accept my apologies for your loss

thank goodness it wasn't all my money

the good news his son will be with me staking all my opponents so we can win big

that is if we do win

why don't you go with me,we can remember the old times
like the time i played shortstop for your company team in cognito

or the golf where i won all the money on your good back nine

or the last gus szamboti ever made that i sold when you threatened to become a collector

or the time you had the crossbow to shoot the squirrels on the golf course

please bring a large bank roll


concerning the black mustang,i am buying it in la to drive home

anyone considering investment opportunity,please be advised my track record is not so good
so don't expect to win

but the memories are priceless

i forgot who else wrote what,but thanks for the wishes

be advised the story will reflect favorably on me even if i lose

and my wife said that if i do lose again that this will be my last trip right?

but at least she is allowing me to get it out of my system

she has also predicted that no one in their right mind will invest in this lamebrain scheme


Little did she expect Oak Cliff Shorty ie Jack Potter to hear about this sterling opportunity

she did question Jack's judgement for selling the last Balabushka and Szamboti ever made

anyone that knows a good spot to play high with loose players please send me a PM to win a nice Jelly in the rare event that I win big

PS i am not allowed to loan money to pool players anymore,my wife
saw the books and not one ever paid me back
 
Consider visiting HT before picking up the convertible.

If already in your possession, consider parking it at Jack-in -the-Box across the street..I think they validate parking.

Will you be sporting a jaunty beret and scarf while motoring with the top down? May have to remove headrest to get the unimpeded freeway speed full flowing scarf effect. Practice the knowing, smiling head nod for the honking jealous drivers that must speed past you to give you the 'right on' thumbs up.;)

I would add 'have a great time', but I don't think that's even close to an issue.


Hopefully, there will be a trip report to follow.


ps: once had a 69 Triumph TR6 convertible...run the floor heater vents..warms you just enough as the heat whistles by on the way out


Enjoy.

Yer tricky Dean. You told your wife that you are picking up a Mustang but in reality, you're getting that Harley that you were telling me about.

Good stuff. Doing the Last Trip on a Harley will make it much better.

Easy Rider Dean.

i will be at South west cues ,so call me

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE CALLED

to go on this road trip but don't want to invest in the games

what is pool coming to?
 
I don't know who you are, but it seems most everyone else does.
Of course, best of luck.
regarding Hard times...
the one time I was there I couldn't get a game for $10.
I really don't gamble, I just wanted someone to play with.

For $500 I do believe someone would have stepped up.
If they know you are coming there will be action and I don't think you will
see their best right away...
It could be I have too much respect for this particular room.
but I don't think so.

Again, best of luck and enjoy the ride.
