Not Expected

I should have a lot to write about,since I have not posted any of whats gone on in the last 5-6 days.A lot has happened but I'm not sure I remember it all.I'll give it my best shot for you guys though.

This did not happen in order,it's just how I remember it.

I've played a ton in the last week,I was trying to get it in before starting a construction job that is going to consume all of my time for the next few weeks.The only reason I can even write this is,I hurt my back today,in the early morning I yanked something out of line,like a disc,it hurts really bad.

I'm going to start with my play as that's what I remember best.
I have had a significant improvement happen to my game!Not only have I noticed but other players have seen it too.But I'm not the only one in the pool hall to improve,Big Scott is right there with me,the other day we played for a few sets,and we pretty much went rack for rack of run outs.I hit him with a 2 pack and he hit right back with almost a 2 pack,that ALMOST was probably the set decider.I'm happy Big Scott and I are showing signs of improvement we have both put in a lot of work.
My game jumped the other day like a least a ball!That's a rather large jump,I didn't expect it to last for more than a day,but it did.I had what I hope was just a minor set back vs Chino yesterday.He beat me every set we played and the closest I got was I think 7-9.I'm calling it a minor set back because,Toby Sweet asked me a few questions that I answered,and as I answered,I was immediately enlightened to what had changed from that day to this day.It's a very simple fix,and I expect to be right back there again.Toby also gave me a flattering statement about my game,when he said "I have great mechanics".I was just as surprised as I was happy to hear that.My game is taking it's time,but it's coming!Good things come to those who wait.
I still have a few people on my list to beat.I played with Giant Jerry the other day,but we had to stop short in the second set and call it a game.I don't think he was playing all that good.I got him the first,and we stopped the 2nd set as a race to 5,in which he got me.

Toby Sweet almost had some good action,He was supposed to play Mike Wong.But they had some pre match drama,and could not agree on a game!This kid Wong was a real tool,you could tell he always got his way as a kid,because of the way he talked to Toby.He said he wanted to have to grind for the wins,and wanted to play sets.Toby wanted the REAL grind,he wanted to play by the game,and guarantee 8 hours of play per day!Now that's what I call a grind!Wong wanted rack your own ball,Toby wasn't falling for that trick either.Toby even offered to pay for a hotel for him.It's probably for the best that they didn't play,word is Wong will drive you nuts with how slow he plays,and I heard that from more than one player!So it was no action for Toby.
Toby did get a good game the other day from a truly unsuspecting,supposedly world champion in your own mind kinda guy.This guy come into Diamond Jim's,and just starts asking people for a game,so Jersey Ken points him in Toby's direction.This guy was another tool,and he had a travel pose' with him.So they agree to a game of Chicago.Now everybody in the room knows who Toby is except this guy.It was like watching a hustling movie.Toby beat this guy like 42 ways out of 50!
