Skorts & Shorts tourney

October 11, 2025 at 8:15 pm · Filed under Pickleball 匹克球

Another pickleball tournament features 32 players with fixed pairs in two tiers. My upgrade to level 2 is to stay.

The rules are 10-minute timed play. At buzzer time, complete the point; if tied at the buzzer, play continues till the server wins by 1 point.

Nick is my partner, with whom I have never played. Actually, I don’t even know that he plays. Luckily, we managed to win 4 out of 7 games:

  1. v. Yan & Martin: lost
  2. v. Joyce & Carlos: won
  3. v. Lurline & Jeff: won, came from behind 2-7 deficit
  4. v. Angela & Bill: lost (10-11)
  5. v. Karen & Richard: lost
  6. v. Donnie Ed: won
  7. v. Lynn Eoin: won (5-4, perhaps the lowest score)

I’m pretty tied at the end.

Two moons & 9 serves

October 9, 2025 at 7:42 pm · Filed under Swim, Tennis


The autumn moon is still full. The reflection in the pool makes an interesting photo.

Tennis: 4-5, 5-0, 2-3 on serve but our court time runs out.

The first set was w/ Larry: we should have won. I served first, 30-0, 30-30, 40-30 and won the first game. The second time I served, an ace and 40-love … but lost. This was terrible!

Make that box!

October 7, 2025 at 9:34 pm · Filed under Tennis

4-5, 4-4, rain begins …

My serve works today when I make the box! It doesn’t look good at praceice but once the game begins, I made a mental note to do the box, and it works!

After being down 0-30, we came back and I held my serve

Can’t serve

October 2, 2025 at 7:51 pm · Filed under Tennis


The autumn sun in the morning

Yesterday, 5-1, 5-3, 5-2: but couldn’t get my first serve in 😭, for not playing for a month or what?

My first serve was like 20%. However, my second serve – all underhand – was nearly perfect, except one double fault.

Today, is a different story, that I got all my first serve in, except one; no double but didn’t win all three sets: 2-5, 5-1, 2-2 (someone retired).

From yesterday:

5-1, 5-3, 5-2: but couldn’t get my first serve in 😭

第一局的 1 是俺输的[闭嘴]

一发只有20%
二发靠 under 小球 95%
一个误发

不知是男娃们不肯占俺便宜 没有一个在我二发时挪进几步. 感觉多数人都不喜欢或者很少变更. 习惯主宰一切.

我还怎么活下去呀
球都不会发了 喔喔喔

左胳膊还在疼

撞墙吧 大妈
嗯
… 南墙 还是北墙?

😤🤔🫢🤭

From today

🍂 the autumn sun

秋天的太阳🌅

🎾 2-5, 5-1, 2-2 有人病退

昨天撞墙很有效
今天只有一个二发

撞的哪面墙?
… 您觉得大妈还能记得吗 [偷笑][Lol]
