I'm sick and get to go back to work today oh boy fun times, I really need to find a new job. Jury duty i get to go in for that at the end of the month... well I'm just going to wrap this up now
peace

So this past Sunday (feb. 6) we ran the Broken Spoke 9-ball tourament again, and your winners are

1. Dereck


2. Andy S.


3. Dave H.

Ran fairly well, a bunch of new people came out and word seems to be spreading. A shout out to Tom for finding the Tournament white board so we don't have to draw out a new one every week. We have been working with the handicap to make sure its as fair as possible so if your a seasoned vet of the pool world or just starting out on your pool journey for $10 come on down and spend an afternoon shooting some pool.

As I've mentioned before starting feb. 23 at McPhillips Street Sation Casino Is the 1st. amatur Bonus Ball tournament so you'll find me there this sat practicing and getting ready for that. If you happen to be in the Winnipeg area and want to get the inside scoop on this new game to hit the green felt hit up their web site http://www.playbonusball.com/ and shoot them off an email they'll be more than happy to show you how the game is played.

Well I'm off to go check the mail with any luck I've got 2 shirts waiting for me

peace out

Doing Just a Little Better and Such

So Nov. 10th to 14th here in now Winter peg was the BCAPL Canadian Open Series. I was lucky enough to be able to book the 10th off work so I could play in the 9-ball singles event, I would have played in the 8-ball singles event as well but I think I would of had to quit my job meh at least I was able to play in some of it. If you want to now skip my long rambling story and just see the results click here http://www.aactivecoin.com/ . So the format was double elimination, race to 4. My first match I won 4-0 didn't play at the top of my game but pulled off a win. Game 2 was right after and finished 4-2 in my favor my game also started to get into a nice pace. So after game 2 I waited... and waited... and waited. For game 3 not bad play but the waiting around and not shooting showed in a disappointing 0-4, in game 2 it looking like I was going to get a 2-9 combo but the cue joined them and that about sealed the match. This put me on the B-Side meh what ever just stay focused and plow on hell win the next match and I would have been a game or 2 to the money (well some money). Game 4 after losing the coin toss my opponent ran it to the nine and then rattled it in the pocket. So Got up shot it in, racked and broke dry (this seems to be my big problem as of late dry breaking) so a little back and forth and Another win 2-0. game 3 a few safeties he runs down to the nine and rattles it and now its 3-0, and then it when down hill from there he hit his stride and capped it off with a 9 ball break on the hill to win 3-4. All in all it wasn't a bad run could have done better If my break was working for me but meh what are you going to do but keep practicing and try next time. Well I'm off to work grrr argh and it now officially is winter as noted by the foot of snow that fell.

Posting At The Speed Of??? A Snail...

Hooray for regularly posting, I kid I kid.In all seriousness though here's some thoughts from yesterday. Yesterday being Remembrance Day it wasn't that long ago people that the only place open to drink and get booze would be the legion. If it was one or 2 teenyboppers coming in and expressing shock at all other vendors being closed OK I might have given them that one but seriously anyone over what 25 ish should not be so shocked. Next Cash is King sure most places have Debt machines now but shit happens machines break, and I'm not a debt machine repair person. Finally for now Really Harper Really bring the toops home. This mentoring or training crap is just that CRAP. Saying that "they will be out of the field and on a base..." Really cause fighting in Afghanistan has been contained to a specific area that the canadians can just avoid really really now?

Well that is all for the next 2 months (I kid I kid)
