i think we decided arlington... yup.. pretty sure arlington. VIRGINIA mofos! :twisted:

so excited! can't wait to see everybody... in ARLINGTON! woot

i tried out the IGs vs BLXPROs today. looks like i probably prefer the IG with full poly but it did hurt my wrist a little bit. BlackCode17 is pretty harsh... i guess i gotta try something a little softer or go to 18g or try Kirchbaum Black Shark 17?
i don't like soft polys so i need the softest of a firm poly. ay yi yi

Back in the day I used to buy duck in Seven Corners. Always fresh, never frozen, reasonably priced, and no gunshot wounds. Those Vietnamese kids roaming around the nearby NoVA ponds and lakes sure do have a way with slingshots. Fresh, local, cage-free, environmentally safe…:lol:

thanks -- she was NOT into the match mentally...haha - it's tough to enjoy beating friends in a usta match...you guys had a close battle on your court too!

Not just friends, but your *other* mixed partner!

I can't believe we actually lined it up the way we did!

Yeah, definitely a tough match, but we were always a step behind it felt. B played *much* better than last time, too...deceptively quick hands at net. I just wanted 15 more minutes!!! UGH! :)

yeah...i remember the last match - i felt like he was hitting the back curtain every other point...like he was too amped up! haha, he was under control last night...i was the one hitting wild! haha...ugh, we should've won easily...up 5-1 and then we lost that set...haha -- oops!

You just wanted to play more, right?

He had flashes of wildness, but he served much better, especially his second serve, and generally played smart strategy. Did your captain give him a talking to after the first match??? hahah!

I guess what gets it done in Lynchburg doesn't get it done in NOVA??? He made the necessary adjustments...let's just put it that way!

He's a super nice guy...we had a nice match. We are all even now at 1-1. Battle Royale at the final of districts????

Good hit with TM, CB, and Zap today MoCo. Haven't played outdoors in forever, forgot that wind can be a factor in tennis - LOL.

So sore - Wife thought it was a good idea to do a HIIT class at the gym before my tennis boot camp clinic. Legs are tired.

wookie's forehand is money,

is the great idea finding some tennis courts next to a buffet restaurant?
Invite Wozinaki to play tennis with us?
or my fav:
having Wozinaki to play tennis next to a indian buffet restaurant?

but knowing tmonk, he'll pick something that is boring and makes sense like:
finding a tennis court with a big playground next door so our kids can run around while we hit... BOOOORRRING....

don't poo poo my ideas CB. fun hit yesterday gentlemen. i am not sure what i was more suprised by:

a -- CB has more racquets (3) than i do (2).
b -- wookie isn't pushing 3 bills and he ditched his civic si habla espanol even though it only had 200,000 miles and he could've easily pushed another 800,000 miles before it died.
c -- zap actually showed up at the time he said he was going to show up. no seriously. he showed up. i checked his ID too.


what's for lunch people?

lunch is chicken and rice. Actually my place actually has a single court and a playground right next to it. Floor actually has cushiony mulch. It's literally 30 steps from my place.

We can hit there next time. Still then, I'll probably find a way to be late as well. =)

you have courts 30 steps from your front door? you need a tennis ball machine and thermal underwear. then you can stay sharp all winter long.

Lunch? Smoked turkey and ham on pretzel bread, a salad and veggie soup

LOL! TM - I was pushing almost 3 bills about 3 months ago. Three months of dieting is no fun. Still sort of miss throwing the SI around.... well actually no I don't.

CB- Thanks for the compliment on the FH. Wish I had that solid two-hander. BTW- I think newegg finally got me to buy BO2 - Get 12 months of XBL for $30 if you buy BO2 - I would prob buy both anyway soo might as well go for it and only hope the game doesn't gather dust.

How much is newegg selling BO2 for? Toys r us has a "2 for," deal. if you are in, I'll go in too. even though i won't be playing till Blacks Ops 3 comes out. Toys R Us has 2 copies of BO2 for $90 + tax. Then it'll be $45 each. Even has Nuketown 2025 Map as a dlc bonus. But i can't imagine playing BO2 w/o Nuketown.

if ur interested, just email me. I am stacked at work and can pick it up today after work. I can meet up at lunch morrow for pickup. or if you like to buy and pickup at ToysRUs, I can do pick up during lunch morrow.

CB, feeding my Xbox and Tennis addiction. LOL! Problem is I need a XBL Gold membership - mine expires Nov. 19. Guess cost wise it's a push.
