The interesting phenomenon here is that the results of the diminished
accuracy is rarely evident for up to 24 hours. Quite often, the liquid
cooled operators feel that all of the poorly calibrated swings were
quite accurate and are dumbfounded at the results 24 hours later. I
suspect that is where most of the late model flat fenders come from.

I have read that when one "learns" a motor coordination that it can only be
duplicated with the same skill under the same state of consciousness that it
was learned. I believe that this is the reason that I have to have a certain
number of beers before I am able to shoot pool & then I must replenish @ a
very specific rate to maintain this level of "altered state of
consciousness" to continue to play........too much & I get sloppy........too
little & I lose precision.

OK.......haven't ignored the group - just haven't had time to look yet.
bought our house in Sept & already doing a refi, son is transferring from
Cal State LA to Chico State so most of the time we spend together is doing
paper work (for school, our house, his new apt, etc), buying books, food -
yadda, yadda, yadda.

so specifically where & how do I look for the separation? I'm guessing that
I look around the wheel well (from the outside) - or are we talking about
from the inside on the floor boards in front of & behind of the side of the
back seat?
