I needs to take note ..Alcohol is easy but coffee not so easy.I take my coffee seriously..
It used to be 8 oz was a cup,not no more ,my coffee cup is just a little smaller than what i would bail my boat out with ....
As long as you don't get AFib, go for the coffee. BUT!! Be prepared mentally to cut it out instantly and forever if you get Holiday Heart. <-- That sounds nice, but it sure aint. o_O
 
Ever see them there coin pusher machines? Where you drop quarters in and hope they fall right to push some on the bottom out...

Well, here is one gonna make your socks roll up and down; the guy bought TEN (10) quarters for TWO MILLION DOLLARS. That's $200,000 per quarter.

Watch whut hoppen:
 
Afternoon ya bunch of O'l farts. Just finished my walks with the dog and now Mrs Pute. Now I get to cut down a plant. Life is good .... most of the time.

I just got a care package from Herbie's seeds. Hoping he does well here. Nice to have seed vendors on the site.
 
That didn't take long. A little over and hour and a half and my latest Gold Digger is down and hanging......dry trim coming in a week or so. Another day in the books......at least in my grow.

Might go downstairs and practice bank shots on the pool table. Then a Jacuzzi and out to dinner.

I always wanted a pool table... It just never worked out. Dang. There is a solitaire game that teaches you how to put the proper spins on the cue ball.

Set up the table with two balls side by side right at each of the corner pockets, and two balls lined up straing in at each of the side pockets. Three balls in a line a foot apart with the middle ball in the very center of the table.

The object is to sink all 15 in the least number of shots... ball in hand anywhere behind the spot. If you play it right, you send the cue ball down to tap the ball by the side pocket and have the right spin (top right) to continue on down from the side posket hit to the corner pocket to knock in both balls there.

If done right, you wind up in position to repeat the action on the other side, coming back up the table on the other side with the result of six balls in with just two shots.

You should be near where you started, and now you put the two balls in the near corner pocket... with enough spin and power that you have a shot to aim the lower center ball to hit the remaining double in the right hand pocket. Top spin on this shot to hit the center ball so it goes in after the two blockers.

I'll stop here... you get the idea. This is a very interesting challenge. You can get ten balls in the pockets in your first four shots.

My best game ever was eight shots to sink all 15 balls.

Gauntlet laid down.

I had a lot of fun on my girlfriends family pool table if that counts ....
 
I accept your challenge....I think Carty can draw a pretty good bead as well. If you want to learn how control the Q Ball play nothing but Billiards for a month. I don't like the game but after a month of that you will be able to leave the Q Ball anywhere on the table you want. EXCEPT on a straight in shot. All you can do is suck it back or follow your shot.
 
Including moderation! Life was meant to be lived with gusto!


and a little debauchery!
