Birthday gift from Dad

[SpeedStar]

Well, today is my 39th birthday. I got a very special gift from my dad today.

We have always enjoyed playing pool together. It is our thing and has been since I was a young boy. We played a 12 hour game of straight pool when I was 13 and it is was the first time a ever beat him for real. The next day he took me and bought me my first real cue. I still have it today and will always keep it. I don't use it anymore but it is a valuable sentimental item. I have many cues now and use a couple Predator cues most of the time now.

My dad has a limited edition J. Pechauer custom cue that has been his baby for many years. I knew that one day he would pass it on to me when he was gone but he decided now was the time.
I don't know that I will use it all the time, but I know I will never get rid of it. It is a special thing that I can always share with my Dad.

I did have a great time at the show and spoke to a lot of interested people about the Tenere. I knew more about it than the reps at the Yamaha booth. I felt like I should have been on commision!
I spread the word about the forum too! 8)
