Crash back to earth tonight, likely a result of temperatures in the middle of winter in Texas of near 90 today, and the local bowling alley decided that this week was the time to install new HVAC units, and work not yet complete. Yes, I was sweating the entire time tonight, leading to horrible release problems.

Boy, if I could only spare.....don't we all say that? 2 splits in 2nd game were a killer. In the third game, I took a 300 to the 10th, where I left. 4-7. I was so irritated that I picked off only the 7. New average 208.

Alternated between the Storm Byte and Optimus Solid. In addition to the newly replaced wood lanes with synthetic, the approaches were newly sanded. I started playing hockey in the late 60's, and these approaches were slick as ice! One guy on our lanes even switched from bowling to tennis shoes. To top it off, I suddenly developed a blister on the outside of my thumb. Since I started bowling again 4 years ago after a 15 year hiatus, I have NEVER developed a blister. WTF! New average 195.
Tonight on synthetic:
239-236-256=731
Strikes 75% (25/33)
Spares 71% (5/7)
Single pin 100% (2/2)
Multiple pin 60% (3/5)
Splits 0% (0/2)
Opens 6% (2)
Obviously a good night. Threw the Storm Optimus Solid all night. Two poor shots (ball speed way too slow) through the nose costume an even bigger night. Pretty happy. New average 212.
