Gene, I 100% agree about the inner calm and concentration needed to be a good pool shot. There's a great interview, on youtube, with Johnny Archer. Johnny still shoots a lot but is past his prime. He is a serious competitor still, but was 9-ball World Champion three times in the 90s. I followed his career as closely as I could, and have met him and gotten the chance to talk some. He shoots occasionally in Augusta where I go to shoot a lot on the big tables, which I love. He also loves golf and was asked in the interview which of the two required the most skill. He thought a moment and replied that in his opinion pool required a higher level of mental skills, but that golf had the higher pyhsical skill requirements. This is the interview with him. There is a series of these and another really good one is with Earl (The Pearl) Strickland, one of the all time greats. My wife doesn't want to give up a guest bedroom in our home for a big pool table, but I have a project in mind that would convert an old 10,000 bushel grain bin into a two story structure with a pool room on the bottom level and a farm office above it. The bin is on a thick concrete slab and is 24 ft. in diameter, circular of course, and would be a very roomy place to shoot, 100 yards away from our home and next to my farm shop.
Great pics of some very nice cars and trucks, Mike. I've always loved vintage muscle cars, having bought a new '69 Camaro SS as a teenager. Before that, though, I had a '56 Chevy 210 two door that i customized. I have regretted selling that car to get the Camaro ever since, and am currently looking for a partially completed one to finish up myself. I can only imagine the effort involved in getting parts for vintage cars and trucks where you live.
