Yeah, I spent the last friggin 30 minutes trying to get the dang thing adjusted and this is the close I can get it. I might have better luck with my home computer. I thought you could resize it and specify the file size but using my work computer it just kept adjusting it too small and then not letting me increase it so I'd have to start all over. Add to that our work internet is obscenely slow and has been the last few weeks...it's been frustrating. Now at least it's 1/5 normal size which I guess is better than the initial attempts.Originally Posted by vdubtx
Nice, it's so..... cute and tiny sized.

Rob is,,,, Well just a GREAT GUY!!
Not only is Rob a great coach, he is a giver also! He gave Iceman his Deadly Aim ball. Looks almost new, just need to get it plugged and re drilled.
It will be fun to experiment with a new layout. Rob also gave Aslan, and Ice a lesson the day before we left for home.
Rob didn't like the Deadly Aim at all! Maybe Ice can make it work! Will keep you updated on the ball performance after I get it fitted and drilled!
Iceman likes Deadly Aim!!
I have several pictures, and will be posting some soon.
Rob and Ice both thought Aslan, looks a hell of a lot like Peter Sellers, ( the movie actor)! May he RIP!!
I do want to experiment with a different layout, will be COOl!!!! Will two Deadly Aims, double my pleasure,,, double my FUN???
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Grrrrrrrrrreat avatar. Can I steal it?.............just kidding.........much better than the last one.
Since you were a HUGE part of what kicked the Bikers butt's in the team section of the tournament, you deserve a noble avatar! This is your new one for 6 months!! I expect to see it up and running soon!

To which Aslan responded, "Who the ***k is Peter Sellers?"
Apparently he's an English dude that had really hot wives. Props.
Reviewing the video footage now while I record my practice scores from tonight. I'll probably have to do a tiny bit of editing to take out some of the lapses in action…but hopefully we'll have some entertaining footage up for the masses relatively soon….this weekend at the latest.

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
Back in Michigan finally. Spent a few more days in Vegas donating to the various casinos on the strip and downtown.
It was probably the best time I've ever had bowling. Great to meet everyone. Rob was a deserving champion and being the great guy he is he even paid for dinner. I never had so much fun losing. It didn't even matter the outcome to me. I didn't even need to drink copious amounts of alcohol to have fun. Tons of video. Trying to play catch up at work. Will be ~1-2 weeks before I can sift through it. Definitely looking forward to the next time. I hope even more people can join. And I think it's totally awesome that you were following on twitter. Trying to post on here on a cell phone is impossible - Mrs. Iceman asked me if I could get on here on my phone and I said I don't even bother. Cell service at the Suncoast is sketchy to begin with. Once I got to the strip on Thursday it was 4G all day everyday. Suncoast is pretty nice though even though it's 20 minutes from the strip. Great choice Rob and awesome suite they gave me. Oh and the pre-tourney hardcore shuffleboard with Iceman was awesome and a key to my success to qualifying 1st, lol. I still laugh I bowled a 666 - fitting. I have been called the antichrist.
Iceman - where is the picture of everyone that Mrs. Iceman took? Really want to see that.
YES,, was ONE Hell of a blast, Anti, Bowler,(666)! You were a Beast on the side of the alley we started out! Who knows what might have happened if they hadn't moved us to NEW LANES do to leagues! We might have won the damn team event!!! Those new lanes were suited to Surfer Dudes for sure!! I swear I saw MIKE WHITE slip the guy at the desk a 50 dollar bill, and pointing in the direction they moved us minutes later!!!!! I AM NOT SAYING IT WAS a underhanded move in order to cool our team off, but then it WORKED!!!
Yes that was a blast doing the shuffle board game prior to our bowling! Iceman likes shuffle board, another game I just might have the GIFT for!! LOL
I am slowly getting everything unloaded, and in its proper place. pictures will be up in the very near future, need to convert the files so that I can post them.
1400 miles each way,,, crazy weather,,, on the New Bike! Only problem I had was the lights on the trailer went out 3/4 of the way back home. Also the brakes lights on the bike stopped working, even when not attached to trailer!
More to come soon... I don't think I have ever met a better group of guys to bowl with!!! It was like dying and going to heaven,,, wait,,,, that can't happen,,, mud is the antichrist!! Maybe there is room for everyone with this forgiving, loving deity! I have it from a PRETTY reliable source that ALL the GODS love to bowl, and appreciate bowling with good human forms!
MORE to COME!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Just a couple pictures!!
Group picture,,, match the picture with what ever name you like!
This picture was prominently displayed for all to see at the lanes where we were bowling! Aslan had a artist friend draw this COOL picture, the back side which I will show had the whole tournament layout with names and scores!

Awesome. Thanks Iceman. Not judging dudes or anything but the hot ladies at the bar that tried to pick up Aslan and I said that for the picture to put the best looking dudes in the middle - mission accomplished. I have to add Aslan is a bit of an electronic terrorist - as am I - and likes to talk a little smack on here but really in person he's just a great guy and a pleasure to hang around and talk to. And the poster work, etc. was epic. The birthday cake was a big bonus as well. Well done in all your hard work Aslan. And to answer everyone's question what part of Asia is he from? THE GOOD PART
Aslan birth place!! ??
Ha,,,so,,, I knew Aslan was from Asia, its amazing what the plastic surgeons did to transform his appearance from "Bowl-Low", (his original oriental name to, a Peter Sellers look alike!!
We might add shuffle board to the Event along with the bowling!! That was a blast!!
Wife wants to add women bowlers to our Event next year! That would be COOL.... Ice!
thanks again for the birthday cake, Aslan!!!
