I've been on the lanes everyday with my son for nearly a week. Now that my hand feels good we've been in double digits each, each day practicing.
It's really helped my spare game more than anything.
We bowled yesterday until we closed early to get everything ready for the lanes cut. I didn't expect when I went there to bowl at 10 am that we would end up being there until 11pm prepping everything. The hardest thing was removing the flat gutters and lowering the pin decks. I never thought that would have been as difficult as it was. I got a few more cuts and knuckle busters than I would have prefered and couldn't straighten up after being curled in a ball wrenching for 6 straight hours. I'm so old! LOL I realize now I'm blessed having only a 12 lane house to deal with. I'm glad I conned the boss into getting us all of us pizzas. LOL
They came in to cut and sand lanes today. They replaced a few boards and sanded the approaches. I went and took some video which I have to edit and I'll post it up here if anyone is interested. Tomorrow they put the finish on, then they sit one more day untouched. I can't wait to see how they turn out, the color difference is gonna be unreal. They were so orange!
We go back Thursday to raise & level the pindecks, gap the table and respot all the pins. The other employees can put the ball returns back together. They should be able to handle that. Then the boss wants all the foul lights working so we have that too. It was nice being a lazy oaf today and I'll do the same until Thursday getting healed up. One day of hard work ahead then back on the lanes for more practice, practice, practice.
