    Saturday open bowl.

    260/279/193 - 732. That's the third 279 game this year. Almost glad I tanked it, because it wouldn't have gotten me the ring. Had a long day, and think I just ran out of gas the last game, and started putting the ball through the nose. Slid over, tucked it in, and ran 5 to save that game. This is the house we're most likely moving to, so it was good to get a few shots in the see what the place is like.

    Good shooting for a Saturday. I've been avoiding bowling on the weekend because:

    1) The houses don't oil daily.
    2) It's hit or miss whether it'll be "glow/cosmic" bowling when I get there.

    I want to get one more set in at four of the five houses though...I figured I needed to make a fall league center decision by July 20th...league meetings start around August 20th...so I gotta get my center(s) nailed down so I can start getting the center(s) figured out. Gotta get caught up with Iceman...so I need a few 300-games and an 800+ series.

    The woman working couldn't even tell me the last time they had been oiled, she just knew it wasn't that day. She wasn't sure of the traffic the night before. Her guess was it had been oiled on Thursday. If that's the case, it speaks volumes to how well they maintain the HVAC in the building. The place also does a Friday fish fry, so I assume the front doors were swinging a lot on Friday. Either way, the shot was pretty good.

    Good luck with finding a center. That's always tough when your new, or have been out for a while.

    Saturday practice. 214/236. Only had time for two games due to plans to attend the shooting range, er, Great Lakes Dragaway tonight. Not terrible for a burned up shot. League starts in two weeks so taking whatever I can get!

    First night of league. 225/214/172 = 611

    Shaky start to game 1, but recovered with 6 to close the game. Game 2 was much more consistent, but not great carry. Game 3 I completely misread the breakdown, and fought the rest of the game to find it again. Had to run the 10th just to get 172. Refinished approaches were not a big help tonight, either. Dropped down to a #7 slide, and wished I had another notch down to go.

    Ugh.....

    219/207/168 = 594. Having some serious footwork issues so far this year, along with some very questionable spare making. Survived the first two games. Started the third game with three straight, and the the dumpster fire started. Top all of that off with the fact that I can't seem to read a transition this year, and you get crap. 200 average.

    Remember the old days, when anyone who had a 200 average was considered almost good enough to be a professional?

    I'd hate to admit that this place has a "house" shot. It's an old place with 10 lanes, and every one of them has it's own personality. You need to stay pretty tight to your shot. My drunken-like footwork tonight just didn't allow for that.

    Ugh, again.

    170/211/216 = 597. By far the longest I have ever seen this house play. Could not get movement on the Black Widow at all in the first game, and had 4 splits, all of the 2-10ish variety. Moved to firing it in right from the corner, and that seemed to work until the lanes started to move in the third game. Still missing way too damn many spares. Average mired at 200.
