Mainly practiced out of anger for not being picked up tonight. I guess I wanted to prove the people wrong that decided to pass and take their -30 pin penalty. But, also wanted to practice because I had severe thumb issues on Wednesday, got the thumb hole on my spare ball widened, and wanted to see if the thumb issues were resolved. And...the answer is, "pretty much". I was back to using my usual size VISE insert...and even put some tape in the thumb hole on the spare ball...so I don't why I was so bloated on Wednesday...must have been the fact that I hadn't really eaten that day...maybe I was retaining water or something.
But, with the heat...it was only 98 today...but with 38-55% humidity...so it felt hotter than 98....I was still having some thumb issues. Mainly sweating and having trouble keeping the VISE thumb tape on my thumb. But...much better than Wednesday.
So..the takeaway is...this sub business is for the birds. It's just a popularity contest...and 95% of the teams are too stupid to do simple math...because unless you're talking about a 208 average bowler who was absent...I'd have definitely helped a team tonight. So...*#&$ em.
My old Tuesday team at my old home center wants be to bowl with them again because a guy quit the team rather suddenly. It'll take some time to get used to those conditions again...but at least it'll be a weekly thing rather than a daily popularity contest.
