Me got a set of Shelby Williams JPs : -)
So you might ask, “Lou, why would you need Shelby Williams JPs?!” And the answer is that a couple of months ago I was discussing the build of a new travel cue with a local cue maker, who makes a most excellent cue, Doug Patrick, and told him I was looking for a new travel cue: two shafts, ebony full splice, blue veneers, Predator extension.
He said we’d talk and low and behold, just a few days later, someone is selling the cue of my dreams on AZ. Bought it within hours, beautiful cue but no custom JPs. So I FB Shelby, and he says he’s got some about to go into the spray booth and I order them.
On arrival in St Louis Gail confiscates the package.
A few days later Shelby asks how do you like the JPs? And I tell him Gails got them and I won’t see them till Xmas. Shelby says, “You won’t get them for another month??”
And I say, “She’s brutal that way. But she’s given me two Gina’s so I can’t complain.”
And Shelby says, “Yea, I wouldn’t complain either.”
Also, Gail gave me five Mooris, G2s, Kamui Black SS, AND some special super glue for cue tips, having listened to my recent cue tip travails.

I put an Efren Skill Transplant on my list, but they were all sold out.
I don't need this, but have always wanted a Joss Color of Money cue, keep talking myself out of buying one.

I bought myself an inexpensive break/jump cue. My Aunt gave me a cue ball engraved with my last name for a paperweight desk Knick knack
You have a CF walking stick?I decided that my carbon footprint was too big, so I’m giving up on the Global and taking the bus.

Im going to watch that in the next couple days for sure!
I only got to play for about an hour yesterday before the family started rolling in

Since it was $$, I got myself a combined birthday/Christmas present: a custom EAP cue butt (to match last year’s EAP CF shaft) from local cue maker Ed Petersen. It was done to my specs and my color designs.
I have always liked dark blue with red accents, for instance, midnight blue metallic paint with red pinstripes on cars, so I brought that design element to the butt. Bocote and Purple Heart.
it.
