Ebonite Mag Force 9000- Right Hand

4out of 5

Pros: Lightweight, Comfortable, Good Quality Construction, Easy To Use

Best Uses: Beginners, Recreation, Protects wrist bowling

Describe Yourself: Casual Bowler

Was this a gift?: No

This glove is more comfortable than others I have tried and I like that the metal support can be removed -- I don't use the metal positioner. The glove helps me grip the ball better and keeps my wrist from getting sore. The fit is good overall, but because my little finger is shorter than the one on the glove, I had to cut off the tip and alter it for best comfort, so it was a good thing I know how to sew.

I also bought one as a gift for a friend and his fit good without any alteration. We both like this glove a lot.

Wow Energy!

Here is something new:

Stuff for Smoothies

OK, it is only sold through multilevel marketing.  But it is good stuff and not much work to build a business for those who would like to earn some extra money. 

My favorite meal replacement and it is chock full of nutrients.  Please check out the link:   INGREDIENTS

End of the Season

Monday will be my last shuffleboard game of the season.   This is my first year of team play and it has been quite an experience.  For a few days my team was in first place, but that did not last long.  More on this after the Monday results are in.

Guitar Lessons

I was showing off my Android phone to a friend lately and the guitar application thereon made a hit.  I have not actually tried to play the guitar on my Google phone aside from pressing a few chords and random strumming, but the colors are very cool and it looks nice. 

Some years back I actually took guitar lessons for a whole year. Part of the process involved driving down to Tijuana and buying a well-made guitar there for pennies on the dollar to what it would have cost in the San Francisco Bay Area where I was then living.  I remember the price was $15.  Gas was not as expensive then as it is now.  I wasn't good at playing the guitar, but at least I learned how to read music.  In truth, I am more interested in learning to play the piano.  I have a pretty good keyboard.  I'll never be good at it, but I have gotten to the point where it is more relaxing than frustrating to sit down and try. 

I am not a big fan of music, at least not to the extent that most people seem to be, but I do miss being able to have Napster on my Google phone.  They have an application, but it just won't work on my Samsung Moment Smartphone.  Maybe it is time to upgrade!

A Donut After All These Years

I ate a Krispy Kreme donut today and told a friend that I had not had a donut in eight years.  I was wrong.  It had been fifteen years.  It was a Krispy Kreme that time, too.  There are some sporting events that I regularly attend where they always serve donuts.  I never eat one.  They are not Krispy Kreme donuts, so it is easy for me to resist.  Today someone said they bought some at Winco.  If Winco carries them I may be in trouble, as their prices will make them even harder to resist. 

On that note, it is only recently that I became addicted to In & Out Burgers and it is the fault Krispy Kreme donuts because I was in one of their shops about twenty years ago and decided to go for a burger after.  In & Out was right across the street and friends had been raving about how good their burgers were.  The one I bought tasted like cardboard and I didn't even eat half of it.  Yuck!  So I never tried any of their locations again until friends in the Palm Dessert insisted on treating me to a Double Double at their favorite location.   It was SO good.  Now I am a regular there. 

Austin Business Lawyer

Actually, I have never been to Austin, but it would be great if you clicked on this link just the same: Austin Business Lawyer.  Wow, thanks.   I had intended to take a short vacation in Texas this year, but it would not have been a business trip. 

In truth, it has been quite a few years since I even drove through Texas.  Being in that state was a memorable experience, however, because it is the only place I ever visited where the gas station attendants vacuumed the inside of your car when you filled up.  Gas cost about $.87/gallon back then, so it was a real surprise to get that kind of service.  They cleaned the windshields and did safety checks, too, like the tires and oil.  Now we have to pump our own and get nothing.  Oh, well.

The cheapest gas I ever bought was in Kingman, AZ back in the 60's and I had filled up somewhere east of there, but stopped again and topped off in Kingman just to say that I had bought gas for 23 cents/gallon.  That was a thrill. 

Recently I read a news story about a fellow who was not at all thrilled when he pulled up at a gas station and checked the price but after he started pumping the price went up in the middle of his transaction.  He got so bent out of shape, in fact, that he called 911.  Huh?
