sap, you know me too well! I am a cheap-ash. I rather spend my clams on chasing food trucks rather than decent courts. Even though EPTC has well maintained courts, but at $9/hr. for outside courts, I can look for alternatives.

Is Ft Lesley full all the time?

back to under 3 sticks in the house.
the xi has left the house. from now on, only thinner frames. miss the racquet already. its the most stable yonex I've played with.
what's for lunch?

does anyone know if I can use jb weld in a grill? will it poison everyone in the house? got a rusted piece that need to replaced in the gas grill. I was thinking about using jb instead welding.

[sapient007]

that's the problem. I don't want to get one.. I get too clumsy near intense fires. since heat is not an issue, just jb it. its stronger than super glue.

Basura's Drunken Noodles are good... I get scared driving around Tyson's during lunch. It's like crazy drivers x1000 during lunchtime. Is Fuddruckers still there? I remember going there after my client site engagements back then.

Oh yeah, if you in Tyson's, go down 2 exits to the Gallows Road Exit and you have to try the Chili Chicken at Great Wall Asian Grocery Store. It's one of those 3 entrees + rice + soup in a box for $6. If you like spicy flavor, it's like really good there. But it sells out pretty fast and there's a 10 minute wait till the next batch. But the dish has chicken bone though.

Yup, one dubs match and one singles match. Both timed out. I don't make anything easy on myself!

awesome!!!!!! what machine did you get

[tennischemist]

Gamma X-2 I think. Whatever the previous version of the current one is, because it came with 12 sets of strings instead of 6.


I ordered it, however, from a retailer named after a famous South American river.

Then from TW I ordered 2 Dunlop 4D 200 Tours @ $69 each.. like why would you pay $80 more per frame to get the Biomimetic version?

And I also ordered a reel of Sheep Micro 17 and a starting clamp.

It has been an expensive day.

I have an AG 200 as well. I decided I wanted something heavier to force me to actually play tennis properly instead of whipping my arm around.

Borrowed a 200T from a friend a couple of months ago and played with it a lot, ultimately decided that I loved it and got a few.

And the reasoning behind the stringing machine is that - I played with a $4 set 17 gauge synthetic gut that I liked way more than an expensive Luxilon/Natural Gut setup so I was like "whatever I'm getting a machine"

I haven't strung since I was in high school but I love working with my hands and I'm excited to get back into it.

welcome to the world of stringing. btw, Lil BoPeep 17g strings gets really slippery. If you doing it the first time on a x2 (I think it's a dropweight), be sure to go around, at least, twice on the clutch/tensioner. And the slippery resin sticks to your tensioner and clamps. Be sure to clean it with rubbing alochol before your next string job.

zap, i thought you told us that you're broke? Is there some kind of funds you are elluding from your fellow TWMAC's? Or is it from the proceeds from the shampoo and hot dog business?
