polishing a ball?

[boatman37]

Believe it or not my singing is worse than my bowling...lol.

So tried that Uppercut in warmups throwing an inside line with the 2000 on it and it looked good. I think I can work with that if I need to. But tonight I was able to use the Igniter out at the 7 board all night with no adjustments other than speed. Threw 24 strikes (9 in game 1, 6 in game 2, and 9 in game 3) but still missed easy spares. I missed a 3 pin tonight and almost missed a 6 pin (lefty). Used the Igniter for the 3 pin and the T-Zone for the 6 pin. Just missing my marks on those. So now gonna work on fixing that. Have a few thoughts on why but will try it next week. Rolled a 686 tonight and my spare shooting cost me a 700

Nah see, you have to look on the positive side. Your spare shooting did cost you 700 but your strike shooting got you to a 686!

I just figured you had a bad singing voice because you're big into boats. Who have you ever heard that sang well on a boat?

Wait a minute... back up... I seem to have missed something... What do you mean my post made you smile "A LITTLE"? What do you mean a "A Little"? Come on man, what's it gonna take?

That post was bowling boards pure gold! One of my personal bests. I worked long and hard on that, at least 15 minutes!! I should get a free bowling ball for that post. (Since I never won the raffle) LOL

I know it was good because I got Boomer and Granny to comment but moreso because Bowl, Aslan, Rob and Ryster haven't commented. Either because I was way off the mark or too on the nose and now they are mad at me. That's okay though, I'm planning the next poker game elsewhere since we trashed your summer home with all those broken beer bottles that we knocked off the wall.

No glass bottles allowed this time, Boomer can bring a tap and keg of his homemade brew so we can go draft. That way Ryster can play this time too. I'm wearing ear buds in case anyone breaks into song and I can concentrate on what ClassyGranny is doing over there with her cards. I gotta win my money back! Wife is mad I lost so much!

Djp1080, sorry you weren't invited to the last game but in the years I worked at the last center you said it was a long drive like 40 mins. I figured Boatman's summer home was way too far. =) You're invited to the next one.

I apparently need to win more, because I need much more bowling practice after my outing today. Never a good idea to take 6 weeks off. Ugh!

And if I can make it to these parties...from the wild, wild west, than anyone should be able to "drive like 40 mins". Come-on, I do that just to get to the bowling alley some mornings. Geez, some of you need to grow a pair.

And by the way...not much into micro-brews, but if you can find a Kilkenny Irish Ale - I'm ALL IN!

[boatman37]

Dude...I'm poor. My summer home is also my winter home....lol. But we can all go for a boat ride once the sun comes back out

[Phonetek]

See... You can't own a boat and claim your poor. It doesn't work that way. Since it's your screen name is obviously not a dingy or you would advertise it. Then again I don't know how much feedback you'd get on you're posts if you named yourself Dingyman. On a different type of website maybe. That said it's obviously gotta be a nice boat or you wouldn't be proud of it. Nice = $$. So you can't be too broke. I'm not buying it. LOL

With the amount of money I have I couldn't even get away with using the name Canoeman.

[boatman37]

lol. actually boatman sounds stupid but when i signed up i just couldn't think of anything else...lol

The boat is a 2006 so not that expensive...lol

[Phonetek]

And it's being pulled by that nice Dodge. Still not buying it Boatman Gates.

[boatman37]

Actually the truck cost more than the boat. But yeah I like my toys. Been thinking about selling the boat just cause of the cost. It's in storage right now but is broke. I have the outdrive here at home needing repair before next year. We have been lucky as far as repair costs go but this one will hurt...lol

BTW-anyone on here ever comes to the Pittsburgh area hit me up. We will either go bowl a few games or if the weather is nice we can go for a boat ride.

It's still a hole in the water that you toss money into! LOL
