Naw, I stayed and hit after I was done and then headed out. Will see him Sunday, and I think the team is going out, so I will tell him then.

The Busara in Tysons is much better then the one in Reston for some reason. I think the one in Reston is much more bland, won't go back there. I do prefer Neisha slightly over Busara.
I ate at Natta last May based on the many good reviews. It was better than most of the other Thai in the area but still not a top 2 contender.

nice grub! my fav industrial Corean place in Rockville is the tofu house near Gude drive they have smoothest and best tasting tofu hot pots there. ate their at least 10x and the owner still won't tell me where he gets his tofu. he must of thought I am opening up a restaurant next to his place. believe it or not, actually learned how to make tofu and made my own soy milk. even though it kicks all the brands out there, wasn't worth the effort.

I am lucky I can still type. my 50lb kid slept though half the muesum and had to carry. I felt like I was in some of tennis boot camp.

Breakfast at a German American place:
Was going to get knockwurst and eggs but decided on pork chops and eggs
End result: total disappointment. Maybe the first time I left 40% on the plate. Little German lady owner came out and asked if everything was okay ( in that motherly way)? I didn't have the heart to tell her. Figured place was full so it's not like the food is consistently bad.

i guess u never went back???
ive been there 10 more times easily! although i usually get take out these days!
that place is legit! authentic.. feels like i am eating from a szechaun street vendor.
i think rat meat would be more tender than the beef that bangkok54 put in my panang curry! uhoh.. can't put that on yelp!

BNT has been informed. McLovin, you may want to tread carefully.
I wonder if he's figured out who I am. I suppose the car ride story from Districts last year might have given it away, but that is assuming he even remembers it...

I'm guessing the Knockwurst would have been the way to go, or run back to that other joint and grab some more scotch eggs.

I really should of gone with my instinct and hit the Irish pub breakfast.
Irish bacon, bangers and mushroom, grilled tomato, croquette,baked beans, black and white pudding, two eggs and toast.
Wash it down with a cocktail.

Thai Neck Tie -- i try the steam 99s tomorrow night. i don't wanna switch sticks but i at least wanna see what all the fuss is about. drakulie seems to think they were pretty darn amazing in his thread in racquets.
sup -- german food you can't go wrong with sauerbraten or spaetzle. find a better german restaurant and report back after trying those two things.
what's for lunch people?

I'm very interested in the steam 99s. Didn't Lux supposedly make the new 4g string for the 99s?
Might be worth the demo... though that may be hard for me considering the massive 1.5 hours or tennis I get in every week.

watching video of lleyton hewitt practicing ..

... and i was thinking of getting yonex mid again. geez. wuts wrong with me. i might grab one for giggles i guess but i think the past decade has shown that i am too wimpy to actually use one successfully. i think my failure is in always using Western grip with midsize head and using wristy forehand. if i just held it SW and swung back to front without all the twisted wrister in it... but i think my "interesting" forehand technique is engrained and would be impossible to change now.
(but if downs wants to send me a vcore 89 tour to practice with for a few weeks, i will accept! )
99S... bah wut a bunch of hype. the Prince Graphite midplus 14x18 has been around for 25 years without people going bonzo. i think Drakulie should get paid $1 per post on his thread.
i had a dream that babolat introduced a string that was "anti-spin" designed for flat hitters that want to crush fast balls through the court!!! GENIUS! my idea so im sending the patent downtown today!
cool year for sticks though. blades look cool. 25th anniv prestige looks cool. speeds look promising, even AeroPro is looking less like a toy... but i should just stick with my ig speeds. just wish they hit with more of a solid feeling. still, the ball usually goes where i want with it.. and last time i played i pulled a Hollywood and blasted a 1st serve ace past the guy and then it flew THROUGH THE FENCE!! That shot is very intimidating and even though i was down 2-5, after that i was cruising to VIKTORY!

Bab VS Gut - the flat-hitter's dream?
25 anniversary prestige looks okay. I'm more partial to the red PJ than mostly black.

dats -- are you on youtube? i gotta see your matches cuz they sound epic. maybe even legendary.
wookie -- msv focus hex full bed is pretty comfy. more arm friendly than tour bite 17g and 18g. how does big blue or whatever poly you been using compare?

Yes the first serve ace though the fence is an itimdating shot. Is more impactful yet still when you have a court behind you and the other guys are playing an epic point and have to call a let becuase your serve balsted through the fence and rolled into the net. Then the guy who just got aced has to ask for the ball back.
Sucky is the 1st serve ace through the fence that roll into the creek at Havre de Grace High school. BTW HdG now has the best lighted courts around. But the courts themselves are still slanted pretty heavily.
And yes VS Gut is the best string to pull the 1st serve ace thought the fence intimidation.
That technique is what that curly guy needs to teach. Not Camel Toe Tech or Lang ball larry Tech.

And those 99 are the ones that are supposed to be like super open pattern?
Thats been done as stated previoulsy. With those Princes and that epic Mizuno Pro MV that auzzie had was like the spin monster of all frames in history.

auzzie with the wilson steam 99s could probably create enuff spin to change the rotation of the earth. the mayans predicted this.

I've been on the tour bite train since last USTA season.
I'm happy and I have several packs of it, so I'm sticking with it right now. Playing once a week means the three packs I have will last a good two years. LOL!

I think we might have two college players in one of the tennis clinics I go to. There are two women with mad nasty volleys.
It's amazing how much stick they can get on anything near the net.
It's also amazing how many easy sitters I can shank into the net.
Hit a frame-shank, half-volley winner. Pro says "WTF was that????!!!?!?!?!"
