***Where did five months go???  It is wonderful to be busy --- but then time goes way too fast...   Today our Mixed Doubles Pool players met... I didn't really hear too many remarks today - probably because I wasn't listening...  We started off the event by taking a group picture which of course we didn't have all the players cause some of them had to go home for reasons.   But we got a group photo anyway.. I do have a comment from home regarding our group picture "I see all the poorer players are sitting in the front row..." of course I am in the front row..... Today Claudette Hogeson brought in cookies for the bunch and she brought a special decorated Easter Bunny cookie for me -- with lots of frosting--thanks Claudette &  Candy too, the cookie decorating teacher..... Oh yes, I did hear the cookie monster groan cause he was not playing up to par... that is the way it goes with pool.  But then we are all reminded of the light switch is either on or off and so that is probably what happened --OFF !!

We appreciated the sunscreens put on the south windows of our pool hall...  Many comments were made on Sunday that it seemed way cooler... The sunscreens let light in and help keep heat out.....Thanks to the board for doing this..'

This Sunday we had two players Don & Millie Olson join us. Thanks for coming... The first time they played with us all season...

  There were 12 teams that played and each team played 11 games...

Teams winning 9 games are------ Barb Brooker & Jerry Thibodeau     ---   Claudette Hogeson & Alex Stinson

Team  winning  7 games are ---   Barb Utech & Greg Dowhaniuk

***Steven May will be the music for the dance Saturday night.  If you were at the Pop Up Dance on Tuesday you heard him perform then too.

 

***    Last evening  March 9th.  the POOL HALL  banquet was held with happy hour at 4:00 and dinner at 5:00 p.m.   There were 102 in attendance...   Our Busy Bee Quilters prepared a wonderful meal for us and even surprised us with a beautiful appetizer buffet which we all enjoyed.    A group of Pool Hall Babes showed up in the afternoon to prepare the dining room and make it look so welcoming...we were under the supervision of Terry Steinbeck.   THANKS, GIRLS, AND THANKS, TERRY S. -- MANY HANDS MAKE FAST WORK...     50/50  winners were Millie Olson, Bev McEnaney, Lorne Evans & Jason Hull.  A short meeting was held and then the pictures of the groups of players were taken...

Pool hall reboot

    I forgot to mention that the Pool Hall Babes have a famous jockey.    Mikie Patrick entered the horse races on Friday the 4th, of March.    She named her horse PASSING WIND....    Her horse was constructed using a pool crutch and decorated with ribbons, and MIkie was all decorated out with her cowboy attire...  Mikie and Passing Wind were a great success and we were there to cheer her on to victory - even tho two more steps would have made Mikie & Passing Wind a big winner....  Another fun time....  Thanks, Mikie for joining in the races......

Pool Hall Mixed Doubles Results-Sunday

 The time is going fast and soon we will all be headed north for the summer...  Another fun day enjoying our Mixed Doubles pool playing.    As usual, there were many comments made during the playing of the games..."We got lucky,  do we get a prize for the most games lost,    when you break the balls and if you scratch the cue ball,  your opponent has to shoot from the kitchen but the opponent wanted to know if he could shoot from the bedroom,   and today for the first time this year my partner and I won the most games played in this tournament and I was accused of cheating, lucky and the score sheet was fixed...

    We also had a PHB celebrating her birthday --  we all signed the back of this week's signup sheet wishing Barb Brooker a happy birthday making this her birthday card.  ....  We also sang her Happy birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARB !!!

Interesting photos

 Thanks, Dan and Linda Lang. I really enjoyed seeing these old-time photo's so thought I would share.

 

Some VERY Interesting Photos

 

 

 

 

 1 The 'Tier Avto', the 1930's version of a GPS. Developed by Touring Club Italiano, this device was more like a “map guidance tool and came with a set of paper maps It was tethered to the car’s speedometer that kept the scrolling of the map in proportion to the speed of the car.

 

 

 

 2 A 'Tasmanian tiger' in captivity circa 1930. Also known as the thylacine, this carnivorous marsupial was native to the Australian mainland and went extinct in 1936.

 24. The 1958 'Sir Vival.' Designed by Walter C. Jerome of Worcester, this unique two-section vehicle was made to protect its driver and three passengers from death or injury on the highway. 

The designer believed that, in case of a collision, the engine compartment would take most of the brunt and leave the passengers safe. Its standout features included a two-piece engine and cab, along with a driver turret. Unfortunately, only one Sir Vival was ever made, and it remains in the care of Bellingham Auto Sales in Bellingham, Massachusetts, even today!
