My highest series to date is 567. I did that in the tournament I just won, which I suppose is a great time to bowl that well!

Last Thursday I bowled a 532, and on Saturday I bowled a 556, so I think I am starting to close in on that elusive 600.

I'm torn between doing a normal summer league this summer to raise my book average high enough to compete in Queens next season, or doing a PBA experience league which will likely LOWER my book average and keep me in the smaller leagues for another year or so.

Any thoughts?

HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW YOU COULD BREAK A BOWLING BALL?!?

I totally broke my Jolt Particle on Saturday

There was a bolt or a screw or something that came off the ball return and my ball was lucky enough to hit it.  You cant really tell, but the hole is about 1/4 of an inch deep.

Steve fixed it, and hopefully it will be ok.  I'll know once I get to throw it again.

So for the 7th week in a row, I bowled one 200+ game.  I would really like to bowl MORE THAN ONE per week, but I'll take what I can get for now.

All the scores above were with the 5th step added.  I broke my ball in the middle of the third game on Saturday morning.

We took Sunday off because B's new ball gave her a blister, and Bunana was sore because she moved to a 15lb ball on Saturday.

Still haven't decided on a name for the website yet.  Need to do that.

OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION THIS:

I won $87.25 at Jackpot bowling.  I won King/Queen of the hill (basically beating out everyone else in the alley for $81), I made one $1 shot, and I won high game for the women's with my last game for $5.25.

All in all a lucrative night.

OK, ciao for real now!

League Name/Season	Bowler Name
Earl Soots Memorial League	StrykeLegend

So we didn't have league the last two weeks because of X-Mas and New Years (lame reasons not to bowl in my opinion)

I used the time to play a lot of Rock Band 2, some Guitar Hero, and I did some practice / jackpot bowling.  I have bowled 5 games over 200 since Thanksgiving, and I am heavily in pursuit of a 600 series.  I also received my 200 patch from USBC today, for a game I bowled a few weeks ago.

On the downside, I am trying to fight off a nasty case of bronchitis.  I'm lucky I managed to even hit average tonight.

On that note, it's time to get some shut eye.

559 baby, yeah!!!

I lef the Jolt and the WD at home, so this was all with my Wicked as the strike ball, Cell on spares

(picking up 10's and 6-10's is NOT easy on a Cell, but I did it)

Also, I picked up a 4-7-9 in the last game to earn myself my very first clean game.  SO AWESOME!
