I know it's been awhile and it may be until I post again but thank you all for your support (bp, Del/Dawn, Fig, pnj, brick, charlest, minbob, bowl400, dpat, scoot, directdrill, steve nagy III, Louf, Rick G, srlunatic, lilwalter, th94501, Aristotle, dw, adrian, buckeyemike, mrbowlingnut, X, Vern and Carl of course and so many more I can't list to whom pm'd me if I was doing okay.) I apologize if I missed you ....your support was much appreciated.
My separation from Track was mainly my fault as I was very frustrated after having to close my business of 11 yrs and then realizing after 20+ yrs in the business from Chicago to California (which basically yielded me nothing)....I'm still poor..lol (I "needed" and wanted a break). I posted this before..I was lost.
I didn't know what I wanted to do but my heart has still brought me back to one simple thing...."bowling". Man, I love this sport. I don't know how to express how much I missed you guys (Legion) and all I can say is that my heart is still here and I will try my best to always help.

I've asked Carl a few times how you were doing and he has assured me you were doing fine. I asked Sixcranker to check on you as well as tell you I was still concerned for you when he went to the Nationals and he came back and said you were doing OK.
Please Email me Nephew as we have some "catching up to do"...lol

Im so glad people are brainwashed to thinking that if they buy a new ball they will carry everything. And its even funnier when im carrying with my 15 year old ball and they're going flat ten.

You provide so much knowledge and experience to so many. I agree you need to get back in the game and do what you love to do, it will be great therapy. Don't give you services away though. People should pay for the experience you have. I think you will be suprised how willing people will be to do that. Don't sell yourself short you have a lot to offer.
This is how I run my shop, lessons and so forth. Even my friends and family understand I am in business to make a profit. one awy I have looke at things to be succesful in business I have been involved in is you always have a partner. Even if you don't have phyiscal partner your busines is your partner and it deserves to make money as well. So with this philosphy the business always prospers.
I wish you all the best and it's great to see you back on here.
