    Every time I bowl below 150 I think of Tom Daugherty and his 100 game on TV.

    Then I don't feel so bad.

    The lowest game that my Ice Cold Brain can ever remember! I went through the usual moves, to the left! Went through all my balls including the DV8 Lemon Drop misfit!

    series was not particularly bad, 193, 247, and ###, 583, BUT WHERE DID THAT One forty three come from!

    Have you ever had a series where the third game bottom literally dropped out like that!!

    This happened Thursday, and its taken up to now to even write about it!! I am medicated, and that helps, but WHY!!

    Why was I not able to adjust to the conditions??? I thought I did all the right moves... " I need to go back to the freezer,,, Iceman is starting to get hot just thinking about it! Maybe if I do the deep freeze, a (cooler mind will prevail!!)
    Been happening to me all the time lately

    I've been having a similar issue the last few weeks.

    not every time I bowl but occasionall I completed lose it.

    133 - 234- 20*

    or last night 203-167-224

    it's like I just forget how adjustments work for a game.

    Good for you Richard!!! Being retired can be SWEET, esp when you have your health! Looked at your profile, nice series posted!! I think it was 795! What is your age, if you don't mind me asking,,, I am 65, but don't look a day over 63!!! NEVER QUIT RICHARD THE GREAT!!! It's only when you quit that you really lose!

    Dream the impossible Dream,,, Throw the impossible game/series! Its only impossible if you think it is! Look at this old burnt out Iron Worker!! I Dream big and know in my bowling heart that I can get ONE more 300 ring, and that coveted 800!!!

    I have had on good days when the planets are aliened perfectly, and the gradational pull of the moon is just right,, some close series to that 800, my best not long ago the 780!

    When I hit that 800, I am going to have a party at my Man Cave like no one has ever seen in these parts!!!!! And your invited my retired friend!!!
    Don't walk on Thin Ice!
