    Default christmas came early

    Since my in-laws are leaving for Florida before Christmas this year instead of their normal January, we combined Thanksgiving and Christmas today. So traditional Thanksgiving dinner followed by exchanging gifts. I got a Hammer bowling ball tool kit, and a Hammer Black Widow Legend. Will be getting this ball drilled this week, but not in time for league.

    I've been a good boy. This year I've gotten two DV8 Marauder Mutiny balls ( 2nd ball to replace the first ball whenever it breaks ), a Brunswick Ringer Platinum Pearl, a Hammer Black Widow Legend, and still on its way via FedEx, a DV8 Thug. Now I need either a four-ball roller or another two ball roller.
    I need to find some tournaments to play in. I've completed my arsenal. Time to try to make a few bucks.

    The "idea" (slight method to the madness)...and Rob close your eyes...was this ball was to be the "skid/flip" ball for my "Arsenal #2" (scheduled to debut in late 2015).

    However...after doing some thought...I've decided to just polish up the Loaded Revolver and use that as the "sort of skid/flip" ball for Arsenal #2. I'm going to save the Exile for Arsenal #4. UNLESS...after trying 15lbs (Arsenal #2 will be 15lbs across the board)...I notice such a huge difference that I essentially sell off my remaining 16lbers and stay with 15lbs indefinitely. In THAT case, Arsenal #4 becomes Arsenal #3 or I can just switch balls in and out based on individual games rather than having to do a "wholesale" arsenal change (which is necessary when switching weights so not to have multiple different weights ball to ball).

    So...preliminarily...late 2017 unless I fall in love with 15lbs. If I fall in love with 15lbs...then probably late 2016 to early 2017.
