    Default I made a Boo Boo

    I didn't know what forum to put this in but I had a 3 ball roller and had 2 balls. Then I rented a locker since I live in a second floor Condo. One day 2 weeks ago I seen a guy with 4 balls and like a 217 average with a 2 ball bag. We were talking and ended up trading bags. To make a long story short ( I know too late..lol) the 2 ball bag doesn't fit in the locker either!!! So I still unload the 2 ball bag in the locker and take the empty bag and leave it in my car. I should have kept the 3 in case I ever get a spare ball. Sometimes spur of them moment sucks....lol. They were both like 15 year old bags so no great loss and I paid 25.00 for the 3 ball roller. Not like I took a beating.... This was just a story I felt like telling......

    I bought a 3 ball bag and then a 4 ball bag. Never use my locker. If they remembered to charge me for the locker, I would have stopped paying.
    In my bag: Roto Grip UFO, Roto Grip Hyper Cell Fused and Roto Grip Hustle hyb

    I rent a locker cause it's just a few feet from the lanes we bowl on. I keep a two ball tote with balls, extra socks, extra cleaner, towel, an extra pair of SST8's, a roll of white tape, 10" fan, and a picture of Victoria Fuller January 1996 playmate

    Too bad you couldn't fit your bag in your locker...

    well when you live in Florida and you can't leave the balls in your car and live in a Condo 2 flights up...believe me you do not want to take your balls home....lol...I just figured that the 2 ball bag would fit in the locker....It was a spur of the moment trade. I only bowl in one house so it's not really a big deal..I am a Mr. fix it so I can cut the handle down 2 inches so it fits, but I don't have a issue with leaving the bag in the car but I could have just as well left the 3 ball bag in the car also....lol. I'm the type of guy that will help anyone and he needed the 3 more than me.

    Our center does not charge us for lockers now days and they let us keep our
    roller bags in a storage space behind the lockers also for free.

    that is cool that they offer a place to store big ones, maybe they do in my house but you have to know someone, I know there's a locked room next to the pro shop. .... I paid 26.00 for the first year which is .50 a week and to renew is only 20.00 so it's well worth it even if you do not use it a lot. I just feel stupid for trading the 3 for the 2 since I could have just left the empty 3 in the car and the 3 balls would easily have fitted in the locker with no bag..... Oh well...like I said spur of the moment and if I do get a plastic spare ball I think I can handle rolling the 2 bag and the 3rd ball in a sling...lol. I really do not think I will be bowling in any other houses since this one is 5 minutes from my house and they are good people.

    I was originally leaving mine in the trunk also, it was the people here who scared me enough to stop doing that....lol... I think it's hotter in the Tampa Bay area than where you are....Just making excuses for myself...lol
