team monkey-pauls lost to team sea bass/downs last night in the battle of the 4.5 bumpees. 5-7, 5-7, 3-4. paul and i squandered leads of 5-3 and 4-2 in the first two sets. we also wasted about 8 net cord winners. and we played downs at about 70% serving only 2nd serves because his vagina hurt or something.

on the other hand paul has zero ligaments or cartilage and played the match wearing yard gloves on his feet.

i want a rematch. with banh mi and kai rabert on the line. given proper motivation, i would have been more focused.

what's for lunch?

congrads to seabass/downs! what racquet was the monkey playing with? Has he finally decided?

[tennismonkey]

i don't talk in third person. i am playing with the donnay silvers. i didn't try any other sticks. i did string them up fresh with msv focus hex at 48 pounds. a good deal more comfort than tour bite at the same tension. but a bit less spin and pop. the trade off for comfort though seems worth it though. not sure why i said though twice. though.

my next string jobs i wanna try tour bite soft.

i haven't had indian food in a few weeks now. i wonder if my curry place remembers me anymore.

What is Tour Bite Soft? Or did you mean MSV Focus Hex Soft?

it was hurting bad! i asked monkey for some pain meds before we hit and he gave me some blue pills...

TM, i refused to rally with your slicing haha my grip choice does not mesh well with your ball (that could be taken the wrong way, but this is a tennis forum ) -- but yeah, that's why i was just crashing the net...

lastly, TM and PaulMan have perfected the let court drop shot....no joke, they hit about 7 of them in the first 3 games...all directed at me...

what's for lunch?

[Sup2Dresq]

Lunch will be at a seafood bar in warn sunny south florida.

Is anyone here a fan of raw bars? Oysters raw any good? I can't remember the last time I had one or if it was any good.

I do miss blue crabs but they have a lot of stone crab claws down here. They are served cold with a mustard sauce. Tastes like lobster, blue crab and imitation crab combined.

South East or South West? I'll be in Naples in two weeks. How's the weather?

[tennismonkey]

downs -- i don't want you gripping my balls anymore.

mclovin -- apparantly solinco is going to be releasing a soft version of tour bite. my friend's stringer i think is a solinco rep so he has sets early. i'm going to confirm on the strings forum and see if anyone has heard this.

South east. Fort lauderdale. Weather in comparison to up north is usually 100% better. Flip flops and shorts. 77 high with a 73 low. Perfect winter weather.

I'm going to the beach each week and its super nice. Can't speak for Naples but dats makes it sound like purgatory with golf and tennis. Here we have tennis, bars, hot wings, pretty girls... Basically everything Gary would want.

The legend grows

[McLovin]

Ah, well, I'll be sure & wave goodbye when we leave as we're flying out of FLL (much cheaper than RSW).

And since I'll be down there w/ the wife & kids, bars & pretty girls aren't at the top of the list (protocol would dictate that I state "I will already be there with the prettiest girls around"...). Weather sounds perfect for tennis, though.

Naples is awsome..: just not for partying. It could use an influx of people under 80 though so i could have somebody to play singles with on 1 of the 30 immaculate clay courts next to our condo. But the private beaches are pretty sweet!

lololol. didn't it used to be people got old and had to move to florida. now these motherfarking old people are not retiring, not selling their homes, not moving to florida and clogging up my beloved beltway.

curse you baby boomers. when i'm old - i'm going to be like an eskimo and walk off into the wilderness and die. like a boss.

Where in Naples is your condo? My parents own at World Tennis Club, off Airport Pulling Rd, across from Naples Bath & Tennis. They're still 'snow birds', making the trek from/to NY in the fall/spring.

We always go to the same beach: The one right near the Ben & Jerry's...

[PaulMan]

TM, Downs: good times indeed except when I woke up tired and feeling old this morning. Should have converted that easy OH on essentially set point in 1st set but no...easy...instead I flubbed it.

it was set point.

but i forgive you because you carried the fat monkey but the fat monkey was too busy tossing up bananas to sea bass and letting downs get a good grip on my balls.

[PaulMan]

Haha, yeah I thought it might have been but I was too ****ed off to think straight! Talk about letting them off the hook -- all night long!

I didn't carry you! I have more than enough lbs of my own to carry without anyone jumping on my back!

BTW Downs, I only hit 1 netcord winner. Monkey hit the other 7...lol

Also, no -- those were not yard gloves on my feet!! haha

Been strange weather so far. Cool November but warmer December. All that can change with one cold front though but South Florida is more immune to the cold weather than here in Central.

Yeah, we're flying into Tampa first (taking kids to Busch Gardens for a day), so hopefully the nice weather in Central FL hols for the next couple of weeks.
