Wow , I had a really shitty day today and seeing this just stirred something within me . I guess there is magic in the world after all . Hope your family has a great new year . <| sep |> Cooter really been training him ? <| sep |> Bowled a 238230215 for a 683 series past friday which is my highest 3 game series this year , and my second highest ever . Should ' ve been my first 700 though . That 238 I had the front 7 before dropping the ball in the gutter on the 8 th , spared it , struck the 9 th and then split in the last frame . Last two games were clean , so that was nice . I ' m happy with my progress this year , I ' m currently up 18 pins average compared to last year from 179 to 197 , since my goal was 6 pins up I ' m well ahead of that !
