Got there Wednesday because it might be two or three days for my back to respond. Arrived at the pool room about 9:33 and played a little. It was raining the first night and when leaving Bogies put the GPS on my phone for the hotel. There are Waffle House restaurants every block it seems so I stopped at one on my way back. Waffles, we must have waffles.🍽 Being the only person in a Waffle House was a new one for me so a quick waffle and head off to the room. So driving, driving, driving and my GPS keeps telling me that I have another half an hour to go. Half an hour? It was but ten minutes to Bogies. Stupid me puts the wrong hotel in the GPS. Get to the room and it smells of smoke. Can’t sleep. 9am and go downstairs. I need another room, mine is a smokers room. No they say, it’s a non smoking. They move me to the second floor, more better. Now back to the pool room. It’s middle of the afternoon and where are the low hanging fruit, besides me? 12Sqed is coming towards me. He’s tough, too tough. We settle on a game and for about 12,14 games we’re even then I lost concentration. Then we went to a place called Potato skins or sumthin like it. They start throwing bread at us. Dinner rolls, blueberry, chocolate muffins. Then comes the fried green tomatoes and we haven’t even gotten a menu yet. We were laughing so hard we couldn’t order. We both settled on pot roast. You have to remember we’re in da south. Everything is cooked until they are sure all the vitimins is dead. We filled up on dinner rooms so the meat and carrots was enough for me. Dave was very adventurous and ate the grey green beans, cole slaw, Mac and cheese, and a salad. Thursday also had the auction which this time I stayed out. Then Warren and I match up. Two pm we quit. So Friday we were supposed to start the stream at noon. Just a little irked. 3pm, the stream still isn’t up and getting no good feed back from Zack. Now it’s time for my match after a first round bye and playing Doc. I win the first game and play what is usually a good safe the second game. He looks over the stack and makes two balls out of the stack with ease. Six for him and steamed about the stream for me. Next shot, Mis cue. Game over. Game three went by fast and game four even faster. Having no stream affected me too much. The stream goes on ignore. Later on I play Warren again who shoots very well. We played twice and by Saturday we are looking for each other. Saturday is my second match, ten am with JRHendy. I win the first, lose two and three, win four and now it’s 2-2. John leaves me a game winning shot that if I miss, he wins. If I makes it. I wins. John went on to play Hercheck. Stream is running, no announcing available. Ignore is tough and tough. Sleep in Sunday and do a little packing. 2 pm and the stream is finally running. I announced for a few hours and then played a few games with fearless leader. Steve came out ahead. I was brain dead by that time. Warren was gone, we missed each other the final day, breaking even twice. Sunday night after I packed, I went back to watch the finals. I get there and it’s the semi finals which ended at 2:30. Then the biggest insult in history, the split. Home safe after five hours of plane time. Then a long nap from 2:30 pm until 4am this morning.
