First, I think I broke my little toe.  I dropped a 3-ball bag on it.

To make matters worse, we had to bowl on lanes 1-2 (the kiddies' side of the house because our league now overflows to that side -- a good thing).  Those lanes are always on the tacky side.  On my first delivery, I stuck at the foul line and went onto the lane, but didn't fall.  I carry an extra, worn-out shoe, so I switched shoes and that problem was resolved.

My scores:

135-144-191 = 470

Oddly enough, my foot hurt the worst in the third game.

Didn't bowl in my PM league because I couldn't get my shoe back on.

Seem to be holding my own. Have been using the Golden Nugget on these lanes. Last game tonight in the 5th frame I left the 3/10 .. I usually convert this .. chopped the three off. Decided to try a ball I just received (bought it USED) struck 6 through 10 .. very happy with HAMMER BIG BLUE PEARL! Scores were:

211/194/233=638

For me .. that's GOOD!

I guess it's not just me.  I shot 200 even the first game last night and was high in the house.

200 (a real grinder) - 166 (lost my 1/2 board of room) - 204 = 570

This shot seems very speed sensitive and offers very little room either way.

Lane machine had a fit and flooded the lanes all the way to the pin deck. Funny thing is it was just our pair, they fixed the problem and moved on.
145-199-237=581 My 145 was second highest on my team.

First I mess up the all-spare game in the 9th frame of the first game by striking, then I miss the clean set in the 3rd game and a triplicate.

Went back to the wrist brace and better scoring.
Still only took 2 points against the laneman's team.

I won't be bowling in my normal BFDT league this week, so I need to use scores from another league.  I checked with Strider and he agreed that I can use my scores from Monday (of which many of you may be already aware).

Just realized that I forgot (probably intentionally) to post my pathetic scores.

153127+211=491

First two games my ball is going straight as an arrow.  Might as well have been using plastic.  Last game went to the car and dragged out my old ball.  Threw it sooooo sloooow so that it would make a turn and managed to throw one decent game.  The bright side to the night was that my team took all it's points.

I sucketh the most, no contest.
