Happy New Year to All!!!!

237--257--246 = 740.

Dry as a bone (because of high schoolers making my league a 3rd/4th shift league) but thank you Mr. DynoThane ZR40.

Side note:  Last night was the first time ever in a league where a team I was on executed a clean sweep (in a league of more than 7pts per night).  We won 24-0 last night, to catapult into 3rd from 7th.

Actually, Eric, if I were still an eighth-grade bowler, I'd probably take offense to the comparison of my 10-pin leave.  I had 20 straight no-doubters and then I left that miserable thing.  For the first time, I was actually thinking about what my score could be instead of executing the shot.  Before I stepped onto the approach I thought, "Get this one and it's(800) in the bag."  Idiot.  With 20 in a row, I should've been thinking, "Make a great shot.  Four more."

Carry was a struggle today, poor spare shooting on top of that contributed to a mediocre series, I need to practice more with my spare ball to get my confidence up with it.

the last game cost my team a win, and it'll eat at me until next week.
lowest game all season, what a mess.

not sure if this had anything to do with it, but i did notice the lane machine failed to oil the lane on the first 10-12 inches.

Hey Mumzie (and TylerWiles)...

I am going to have to take a blind for a few weeks, unless we have a sub list set up.

I just had to have a short notice surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and I'm unsure of how long I will be out of action. I have to have some other treatment as well, so it's hard to say.

I am hoping to battle back to full speed as soon as I can, but it could be a few weeks or more... I'll have to keep you updated as things move along.

Sorry folks, I'll for damn sure be back as soon as I can.

Thanks, 230-n-up!! I'm keeping my head up!!

It was funny; tonight I really thought I was going to get my first 300 (nope, I have never shot one!).  It was the first time I had a calm feeling come over me in the 10th frame to where I wasn't nervous and could execute a good shot, and I pured the shot and stoned a 9 pin in the 11th.  This was at least the 7th time I have had the front 10 or better.  Oh well, maybe next week.

Best wishes to volley_man... get well soon!

Sorry Joe.............Had to take my contact out because of eye surgery in a couple of weeks so I had a hard time throwing the ball.

Still need:

Please post no later than 4 pm eastern time Tuesday.

Several of you have had lots of absences in a row and will be replaced.

Also - Charles partner will be dropped from the league and he will be pairing up with a new partner. We may end up with fewer teams.
It'll all be decided tomorrow. By me. Executive decision.
