• Yonex VCORE Tour 97 (310g)
• Yonex VCORE Tour 97 (330g)
• Dunlop F 3.0 Tour
• Donnay Pro One (16x19)

So downs, if you want to hit over the next week, let me know. I've got high school practice throughout the week, but can definitely get time free on the weekend for a hit.

Full reviews for each please

Alot of the plans are pretty much drawn out already as many agency heads have dusted off last contingency plans when the last govt shutdown was adverted. I have a feeling it's going to be another kick the can for another 3 months scenario again. It's going to be interested how furloughs will be implemented if it happens?

ooo. i guess i should be happy i am a poor tennis player? hah

what are you people eating for lunch? i'm thinking wegmans...

[coolblue123]

want a gyro. but nothing around Gaithersburg area.

edit: okay, broke down to 2nd choice. Korean Noodle Soup at Han Kook's in Lotte's. Besides Noodles, should I get them fake Bonchon's? It's like $13 for around 20 wing sections. $13/20 wings is like 65c a wing. Not that bad, right?

If I had a Wegmans nearby, I'd be all over it, but all I've got is Safeway.

On a side note, stocking shelves at Wegmans was my first job...almost 30 years ago...

CB -- the ganpoongki is probably the best in the area. ask for side of steamed rice. goes great with the peas and carrots that are cooked with the fried chicken. they give you pickled radish and kimchi. you could also go to the viet place next to it and get some pretty good banh mi.

when is the weather going to warm up enough for me to hit outside again?

[coolblue123]

i've played dubs many times with pman in his vibrams. he moves around like a cat. his back gave out last time we played so the rest of his body is falling apart but not his knees and ankles.

Haha. You need to go to REI and try them all out but you can get them cheaper elsewhere. I like the Kangaroo leather KSO Treks most. They're the most durable and don't stink up your feet (leather) as much like the man-made materials do. You can jog and walk and do hikes in them just fine. Also, if you don't wanna go sock-less, get the Injinji toe socks. Usually 1 size difference max between no socks and Injinji.

Still gotta pay and get that 20 yo Scotch bottle from you...if it's not already empty?!?

Haha monkey, thanks for being so kind but I shamelessly corrected you above! But monkey is correct - they won't hurt your ankles and knee any more per se but until you're used to them, your feet (sole/heel) will hurt running around at first.

tx paulman. cb. pick up some bikila for thumber. i didnt end up getting a pair in fear of stinky feet.

Well I have gall bladder anymore. The cuts from Lapro are healing pretty well. havent noticed anythign different yet as far as taste and digestion is concerned.

Was in quite a biut of pain for about 4 days. Then its was tolerable pain. Now there is harly any pain at all. They hit me after surgery pretty hard withpain meds or they went extra hard on anestesia. It took me quite a while to be able to stand up and be comfortable after the surgery.

Still cant do any heavy lifting or activity for another 2 weeks though.

A girl I work with and my father-in-law had the same surgery. Certain foods just pass through both of them. You'll want to be close to a bathroom anytime you try new foods until you figure it out.

Hope you feel better soon man, how old are you? I was 20 when I had mine taken out and recovered fairly quickly, the first couple of days were damn terrible as I remember them though but it was smooth sailing after that. I worked at Lowe's at the time and I want to say that I was lifting bags of concrete again in about 10-14 days. Pretty easy recovery if you're younger and in fairly good shape.
