i'm pretty sure my racquet has seen more action than yours in the past 6 months extending for a couple more years in the foreseeable future.

All this talk of demos I picked up the Wilson 6.1 95 with the 18x20 pattern. The Delpo is strong in this racquet /end yoda talk

Hit with an older dude using blx tour last night at Wakefield. He was crafty with it, and it is a good stick for slice...the tour series always has been.

Had lunch with nursing classmates at Jacksons in RTC. Had deviled eggs and chopped salad. Very yummy.

Did he giggle and raise his left leg for his right handed forehand?

Sappy has a Vincent I think. Zap might but hes keeping it secret. He also may have sold it to cover his getting off of his felony charge and not serving time.

Dats a while pack started a post with different dudes sticks ans setups and stuff. Probably like 500 ppost back or more.

I often use that strategy if, for nothing else, to throw my opponents off. Make 'em hit a real passing shot or a decent lob (luckily, I'm still, cough, young enough to chase some of them down). Certainly at the low(er) level I play at, you don't see too many S&Vers so it often works, at least for the first set. By then, though, the damage is usually done and they can't figure out if I'm coming in or not!

And your volleying will get better the more you do it!

wow, it's next to impossible to find Kunzler's hot dogs or deli meats nowadays in our area. I think Dietz and Watson's or Boar's Head has taken over their turf. But yeah, their deli meats were really good.
Kunzler's had some amazing full sour pickles. Really good crisp to it. It came in these wooden barrels. Was kinda scary that anyone could of reached in with tongs and got it. And even scarier with ppl like me who just use our hands.

AQ. I need volley lessons. My skills are going down the tubes. I haven't played in 3 weeks! =(
btw, made anything cool lately for dinner?
depending on how the weather is this weekend, planning to make this beef bone noodle soup. I call it Mad Cow Special in a bowl.

coolblue123 · 08-10-2012, 04:33 AM

currently debating whether I need another pan?

http://www.bensoutlet.com/products/lodge-logic-1

i have a 13 inch one already, wondering if I need a 10 inch one?
These lodge logics cast iron pans are really good. I just need to be careful not to drop it though. Or else I have to run downstairs to the basement to pick it up.

Are you hurt or something? If you want to hit tommorrw just let me know.

That ICC makes it way easier for me to get to those Montgomery county areas. 495 sucks, glad they put that ICC in there. It used to take me like 1hr 30 to get to gaithersburg, now it like 1hr
