Man cave pool tournament… the senior division.

17 Comments

My husband went to breakfast last weekend and met up with his old cronies for the first time in almost a year. They’re a group of men who commandeer a large table at our local restaurant, drink endless cups of coffee and solve the world’s problems. Since he hadn’t seen them in a while, the husband filled them in on our storage barn to man cave transformation. When he got to the part about the pool table, an 85 year old gentleman said he loved to play…. so naturally he received an invitation.

Husband won the first game and I’m sure he was thinking he should take it easy on the older man.

.

.

Which was about the time this delightful senior citizen began to whip my beloved’s ass.

.

.

85? Maybe so. But he had no problem running the table for the next three games.

.

.

The fifth found my husband in a pickle. Because that sly senior plays a good defensive game as well.

.

The husband had stripes.

🤣

The (not so) free pool table finally sees some use.

So the free pool table… the one that has cost us approximately $14,000 ( and counting ) in storage barn to man cave renovations… actually saw some action last weekend.

.

.

Two of the husband’s coworkers came by for the afternoon (no worries, all 3 men are fully vaccinated) for Cajun gumbo, beer and pool. I don’t play, so I know my other half was happy. And me? I was happy because I received another bar christening gift.

.

.

I’d never even heard of this whiskey but it turned out to have a pleasing toasted undertone.

.

.

After two games of pool, it was determined the table needed to go from horizontal placement to vertical to allow more shooting space.

.

.

Which then required multiple leveling maneuvers. Turns out the barn floor is not at all level. Shocking, I know.

.

.

Play continued into the night, as did the whiskey drinking and strange reflections from the overhead lighting.

A good time was had by all… and let me tell you, it was nice to host even two people after a year of no socializing with friends.

The March squirrel.

It’s March first…. and that means it’s time for a new calendar squirrel.

.

.

This month we see the little red devil has loaded up the kids and taken to the road.

Let it be known – I will gladly purchase a Barbie recreational vehicle if our furry red rodent from Hell will hit the highway. Heck, I’ll fill the damn thing with nuts if that’s what it takes for her to vacate the premises.

.

.

Look, it even has a pool. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the little bitch will drown.

Barn (and bar!) news.

Continuing in the if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em paradigm, I gifted the husband some nice new pool sticks.

Canadian maple of various colors and weights.

.

.

I also gathered some of the military patches he’s had stuck in his drawer for years.

.

.

I’m trying to think of some way to display them… you know, a way that doesn’t involve sewing. Because my love only goes so far.

.

.

A few man cave appropriate books were dropped on the table…. and then –

.

.

Our bar building contractor showed up with the top of the bar.

.

.

I have to admit I was liking the 3 different shades of wood colors….

.

.

Until I realized that was the unfinished side. But after it was sanded down and smoothed, even the husband agreed it would need to be stained before the polyurethane.

Victory is mine!

.

.

And that called for a drink. Or a cocktail in a pretty can as the case may be.
