Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
High game 299 x 5 High sanctioned series 805 (1989)
Wednesday & Thursdays $18 & $20. I condisdered a 3rd league, but I will be on several different USTA tennis teams during the bowling season. I really need to pick tennis or bowling. If I quit tennis I would put on 20 lbs, so that won't work, and I want to stick with bowling because I figure I can do that longer, as I age.
I just had an interesting phone call about bowling.
In the Friday Laughlin league, 2 seasons ago, I showed up at the meeting just looking to be placed somewhere.
They put 4 individuals together, and we ended up winning the league.
I didn't start the league end next season, but subbed a number of times, then near the end, a team has a person who had to drop out, so they asked if I could take over.
They were in first place by 2 or 3 games, and in the final 5 weeks, we were able to hold on, and even extended the lead.
So this year, again I wasn't planning on bowling, but I got a phone call from another guy in the league asking if I could join his team.
When I mentioned that $20/week, and 35 weeks was a bit more of a commitment than I was willing to make.
So he responded with, he will pay ALL of the league fees, as long as I bowl on his team.
I don't know what the guy does for a living, but we held our league banquet at his house the last couple of years... (nice BIG house, great view) so he's not hurting for $$
Some offers are too good to pass on.
Who is he and get me his number. I swore never to do a Laughlin league again (Laughlin SUCKS...it's 108 degree pile of dirty sand), and it would mean transversing the Green River Pass since it's probably in Riverside County (<---Orange County's trailer park for those outside of CA)....but if he's willing to pay YOU $20/week to be on his team...I could get him to pay ME at least $60!!Originally Posted by Mike White

Green River is a long slow drive because of all the people who work in Orange County, but choose not to live in Orange County.Who is he and get me his number.

One of my friends/coworkers lives in Corona and he'll be the first to correct the above statement and amend it to say:
"Green River is a long slow drive because of all the people who work in Orange (and LA) county/ies, but cannot afford to live in Orange County."

I guess Orange County has had to jack up property taxes sky high to make up for having filed for bankruptcy.
I'm just saying....I paid $1875/month for a 2-bedroom to live on the Orange County side of Green River Pass. My friend bought a house in Corona that is IMMENSELY large...like 3 bedrooms, 2 floors, 2-3 bath, AND a friggin hot tub and he paid just over $600,000. I looked for a tiny house around me...something 2 bedroom-ish with a pool and I think the lowest I found was $470,000 for 1/3 the size and lets just say it needed significant work. A comparable house to his...ran at LEAST $900k. So it's property value first...I'm sure the taxes are just a second kick in gonards.
I can't see how EVERY county in California doesn't go bankrupt. They each have about 80% more employees than most counties throughout the country...so I can't see how payroll alone doesn't sink the lot of em.

I think he has the mistaken impression that if I bowl on his team, he going to win the league.
Last season he finished behind his friend's team, and it's all about bragging rights.
