We're looking to play a round on the way down, twice on Wednesday and twice on Thursday -- I think that's were we left it. Thursday is most likely going to be Tanglewood, unless more could play on Wednesday. Like he said, we'll make firm plans as the date approaches.

That will be very interesting. I already told my Tuesday Teammates I will not be bowling next week and Wednesday is a maybe, probably not. With the Petersen the 17th and The Gathering the following week, I want the knee to be well rested. Tonight I got through 2 games and had to bail, the knee was too tight.

This will allow people to "see" and "feel" how a change in ball surface can change ball reaction. We can adjust your surface in the middle of your game so that you can judge for yourself what a difference in surface makes in ball reaction.
For those bowlers who never clean their equipment, it can be an eye-opener how much ball reaction can be restored with the simplest of cleanings.
To me, this site has always been about sharing knowledge and stories. I think this is a great way for each of us to learn more about surface adjustments and how they can help (or hurt) our game.
Of course if anyone is thinking of getting their own spinner, I'll share with you what I know about using them and you can give it a whirl.

As an aside, do we have any of the actual times of the Sat. events locked down yet? Or is it more of a "seat of da pants" sort of thing. Wondering because trying to see when I have to get there for the tourney.

The Bragging Rights Tournament is usually in the aftenoon. I want to say usually around 1PM or so.

I have several balls that haven't been drilled yet, and my wife has one ball yet to be drilled. If there is someone around there that can give us a discount on the price of drilling, perhaps I can convince her that the savings will offset the cost of the trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ron has us sign in with our real name an user name. Lanes are set aside for us, so when you stop at the desk and say you are a part of the BR Invasion, you are pointed in the right direction. We also introduce ourselves to eachother. I always tell my screen name first. After they get done laughing, I tell them the real name.
We did have name tags one year with the screen and real names.

Tonight will be a good test of the knee. I bowl the Petersen. I have been taking my leagues off and resting the knee. It feels a lot better, but still not 100%. LL you're not the only one preparing excuses

If anyone needs a partner let me know so I can start looking. Hate to hear that some people aren't going to make it this year. Just remember any time you are in the area stop in.

You're leaving for Vegas Monday? Will you be flying? If so, what airlines? The reason I ask is my flight out of Raleigh Durham has a stop and it is Vegas. It would be funny if it was the same flight.
Also, if Toma doesn't mind sharing and you don't find a partner I'd be honored to partner up with you as well as Toma.
Susan,
You do really need to work on that shyness issue. One of these years you'll come out of your shell
It will be good to see you again.Knee update - I bowled the Petersen yesterday, 8 games pain free. At least the knee was pain free, the ego definitely bruised
Next year it is only the Blue Dot.--------------------

On edit - I went to the website and it says wireless internet. If you don't have wireless, you might ask at the desk if there are other options. Two or three years ago I had a computer without wireless and brought an ethernet cable and was able to plug in. It was something like $3.99/ stay at that time.
I will say I have stayed at a few places with free wireless access, for example where I stayed in Chicago - Baymont Inn & Suites. I've also paid $10/ 24 hour period.

No training about it, my friend. I'm one of the few who does not go around talking smack about married life. It amazes me how many people are not happy in their relationships. As I said in a previous reply, my wife has been in France for the past three weeks. Sure, the "alone time" allowed me to get some projects done around the house, but I miss her dearly.

Janderson,
No need to bring a spinner, you can use the one in the pro shop, just brings your pads and polish.
We have coated the whole bowling center with rubber to get ready for the Chaos Twins.

She is a French major. She will be teaching high-school French and Spanish. This is the third year in a row she has gone across the pond. The first two trips were 10 days. Those two trips involved mostly sight seeing, history, and speaking the native tongue with the locals.
This time was quite different. She spent a full two weeks studying in a French university. It was mostly work and little play.
She only needs a couple more required classes before she is on the loose as a teacher. It's pretty exciting. She is doing it strictly because she wants to. It's fun for me to see her achieve her dreams.

and the last hour with the kid behind me getting restless and kicking the seat (he was traveling with his slightly older brother - no parents). The joys of air travel . But after an attempt to get me to pay an additional $22/day for a car with remote locking/unlocking capability and cruize control, I got one without the extra cost
Aside from periods of blinding rain, the trip from Raleigh - Durham to Winston-Salem went well. Check-in was smooth, I've had dinner and all is good. Since the day started at 3AM on about an hour or two of sleep,
it is chill time.
Travel safe and see you all soon.
As for the Wednesday sweepers, I'll probably come and watch. The knee is better, but the flight time did not help it at all.
