Probably not bowling for awhile

Great news man!

I've always been skeptical about the power of prayer, but recently God has been answering my prayers so I'm becoming less and less skeptical.

I have a big interview coming up this Thursday...so crossing my fingers and will say my prayers. Only downside will be having to relocate and find a new bowling center/new leagues/new teams. And, from my early reconassaince, it looks like this location has limited center available. I think there is an center that has 8-16 lanes and another similar sized one about 35 minutes away. Moving from a city of 40,000 to a city of 8,000. Looks like the nearest, decent-sized center is just over an hour away. Yikes.

You may have to switch sports to Pickleball or Cornhole

I'm hoping the frustration is over. The other day I said screw it and texted my PSO and told him to drill up a new ball for me. I was verbally told 2 weeks ago they were going to make me an offer but after 2 weeks I was starting to lose faith.
Aslan, best of luck on your interview. I hate interviewing but I have gotten better at it. Take a look at the STAR method and try to use that. I feel it helped me. 20 years ago you could say 'well I had this problem and fixed it'. Now they was the (S)ituation, (T)ask, (A)ction, (R)esult. When I first started interviewing 6 months ago I was just saying 'well I fixed this problem'. After awhile I started using the STAR method and I could tell the interviewer was more attentive.

Could always do what I do in the summer. Shoot at orange discs....

Could always do what I do in the summer. Shoot at orange discs....

I used to shoot skeet as a kid. We lived in the country on 5 acres and my Dad was a big sportsman. He had a few skeet throwers. I was pretty good. My Dad would usually go 24/25...but I was close...and it probably annoyed is friends and coworkers that would come out and shoot and get beat by a 10-year old. They started throwing 2 discs at a time, which was more challenging for me especially...because I was shooting a single-shot junior 20-guage. So I'd impress them by shooting one disc, taking a shell out of my mouth and reloading, then shooting the second one. As a teenager I upgraded to a 12-guage pump...much easier, but less impressive.

The highlight of my shooting 'career' was when I shot two ducks with one shot while duck hunting. They were Teal...which are a smaller duck than most other types...and they fly faster. I took one shot and they both dropped. It was probably a "bad" shot because I must've not led the lead duck enough...due to the faster flight speed...but got enough of it to drop it...and enough of the other duck to drop it.

I don't shoot much anymore. I still have tinnitus as a constant reminder...and a reminder to wear hearing protection.
