    There's your problem. Too many ball changes. Aslan 101.

    Ummm…YEAH! I've had more of those than I've had series where it DOESN'T drop out. At least your off game is a 143. When I was bowling with Bunny in our Thursday league my off game would be a 118. Not fun times.

    Yes, I am getting older by the day,,, and last Thursday was proof of that.... (

    It's HELL getting old,,, thanks for all your kind words....

    Bowling was good to me while it lasted!! in less then 3 years, two 300s and a 780! But maybe your all correct in your assessment of me.

    I am not Iceman, JUST, Mike, a crummy bowler that's too old to be bowling!

    Maybe its time to quit..... I will have to sleep on it.... (when you get old you sleep a lot) has something to do with getting old, and losing your ability to bowl!

    Maybe its time to hang up the pins, and quit laying the balls down.....
    You're going to hang up your bowling sandals over a 143? Seriously???????

    One bad game and you're ready to quit? That sounds more like an aluminum siding salesman that an X Iron worker!
