Fast forward 3 months.... Played my buddy nearly every Saturday morning outdoors in singles for 2 months and got way better. Then it finally got too cold and public court nets were taken down. Already on my 3rd paddle (CRBN 3X). Just found a somewhat local club that has moved indoors for winter and have been playing doubles with them on their intermediate to advanced player nights in an old school gymnasium. Doubles is so much less work LOL

Of course my buddy who lives 45 minutes in the opposite direction still wanted to play singles on Saturday mornings so I did some major rearranging in my shop and set up a court in there. When he comes on Saturday mornings I just raise the big bi-fold door and pull my RV out then turn the heat up to 50 in that room and we play for a couple hours. Lighting is not ideal and we could use another few feet around the perimeter, but it is awesome not having to drive 45 minutes every Saturday to play.

Last weekend my daughter and son in-law bought a new used boat that they parked inside for a few days, but thankfully she moved it to a storage building.... Back in business now. Needless to say, my wife is less than thrilled with me picking up another hobby.





Good enough for now
