2008 I dropped one night due too some pain I have been having in my sliding leg. My average has gone up to a 217 and I have shot my highest series this year. I went back to my home town alley to shot a singles tournament you throw 4 games and throw out the low. Well old Rainbow is still wood lanes and I don't typically shoot very high but this day would be different I shot my 4th 300 in the last game. (first time in that house) Then a couple weeks ago I was bowling on my Thursday league at Continental and shot my 5th 300 as well as my highest series a 775. (first time in that house) I have also shot 290 this year so all in all I can't complain :-)
