Is this wrong?
It's 5:00 am and I'm waiting for my brother to pick me up at our equipment yard, I work in construction. He's late as always so I pulled my dowels out of the trunk of my car and start tracing my plane line with my right arm flying wedge. Is this normal?

Is it normal?!?! A BIG resounding YES IT"S NORMAL!!
And if he still hasn't arrived when you finish with the dowels, bring out the impact bag.

speaking of normal
I'm not sure this is normal ...but I'm serious.I was thinking about the dowel drill in the shower(!#*~!) .I would appreciate a more experienced view on this one .If you take a shower brush(back scrubber)and hold it in your right hand bristles up with your thumb on top,bend your wrist ,fan your right elbow to the top then go just a bit further the bristles will hit you square in the middle of the back......correct

I can see how this could happen if you Cocked your Right Wrist (a Vertical Motion), but not if you only Bent it (a Horizontal Motion). The latter, by the way, is the preferred action. To Cock the Right Wrist is to destroy the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

shower brush
I am grateful for Yoda's input on this one ,I suppose I should have said the brush should be parallel to the inclined plane ?....I was trying to figure out a tactile way to learn about where i was at the top.I 'M STILL LEARNING

Obviously Yoda is correct' but at least I know that if I get to the top and cock my (right)wrist and the bristles hit me in the back (squarely) Iam on plane......right?Showers will never be the same

Brush Strokes (And More)

I admire your enthusiasm, Neil. Only a true-blue Born to the Blood G.O.L.F.er could replace singing in the shower with swinging in the shower. Let's finish up this primer on Brush Strokes:

From Address to the Top, through the Downstroke and at least into the Finish Swivel, the brush should be On Plane. At the Top, if the brush is parallel to the shower floor (horizontal), it should be parallel to the Base Line of your Inclined Plane. Otherwise, depending on which is nearest the floor, either the butt end of the brush or its bristles should point at the Baseline.

Now then...

Have you ever tried taking the soap bar to the 'Take the Oath' position?

I thought not.

Get ready for the next level:

With the soap bar Right Shoulder high, its straight-line base line -- if you've got oval soap, all bets are off -- will point at the straight line Baseline of the Inclined Plane. It will also be parallel to it.

Check it out.

Thank you, Neil. Only when I was younger have I ever had this much fun in the shower.
