I know Carl put this out on the misc forum but I thought I throw it out here too. Carl and I will be in Reno on Wed 6/23 at Starlite Lanes at around 2pm. If anyone is out there at that time, pls come by and join us if you want or just say hi. The 40 framer and BJ's is going on at that house.
We'll be plastered in Track, C-G and Ten Pins logos or just look for the David and Goliath combo.
Hope to see some of you guys if you're around....
PS. Personal thanks to Srlunatic for meeting and bowling with me on my last trip, it was a blast.

David and Goliath? Are you sure David does not have a couple of inches on ya??
I am sure the roles will be reversed on the lanes anyhow.
BUT....for you other guys, the invitation is there, come on out and have some fun with us, and lets not forget the bowling as well.

Well, what good is a trip to Reno if you don't get plastered?

I didn't mean it that way but now that you mention it...and if by chance you see the big guy choking the little guy for bowling bad in dbls...please stop him. Thanks in advance....
Should be okay though cause I have a bad shoulder and Ex has a bad knee so I can't hit him but he can't kick me either...

Kegel is great, but these new things right before these tournaments......I really hope it works out.
Mike....picking his brain? Did you hurt your back bending over that far?
It is getting fun teasing Rick, but I have to do that now, because he will get his shots in on the lanes.

I am sure you will do well Ex...just remember...deep inside with a ball that gets through the heads clean.....not to strong but good solid arc on the back...for me the Havoc was the bombdiggity........
shot 684 for singles..and should have been 784 if would have brought the Havoc out sooner...
the shot is there........and am sure you will do well..

The only thing to report is that Rick and made it to a few bowling alleys, but instead of bowling we decided to play pinball each time!
Actually we met up and had a great time. Rick is an even better person in person. Since he is familiar with Reno he showed me and the guys around a bit.
AND last, certianly not least....I have some pictures you guys just have to see. I hope to post them at some point.....may just email them to you Paul. I don't want to post them for everyone if Rick does not want me to.
Great guy, super to hang around with.
THANKS RICK!!! We have to do it again some time!

My only report is that I had to go to the ATM twice. Unfortunately as Carl stated, we did better in pinball then bowling...lol.
Same here Ex, thanks, it was a lot of fun.

Carl, show the pics to anybody you like. Just remember guys, "Objects are closer and larger then they appear"...

I believe the Hoinke Classic runs until Thanksgiving, and then picks back up in January some time.
Check with Rick, he talked to the guy a little more than I did, but I believe we were told this week in Reno that the World Team Challenge is done.

The "old" Hoinke schedule that I knew of ran up to Thanksgiving to host the Super Hoinke during that weekend. Shot the Super in the early 80's when a few of you were still watching cartoons(and maybe before Loose5682 was even born)...lol.
The guy at BJ's told Ex and I that Team Challenge was done, I can double check with a friend(Peter Hagin) who usually travels around to do their brackets. Peter also worked the Storm doubles last yr at Tennessee, he's much more knowledgeable about these tourneys then I am.
Mike, sounds like fun, I'd be glad to bowl (or play pinball) with you guys again. I'm with Ex on the time frame though, summer June/July is best for me also(shop slows down). Keep us posted on what other tourneys you find....if you're really a glutten for punishment, we could meet in Chicago(Hoffman Estates) for the Peterson Classic...let us know. Anyone else got ideas or want to join us??
