The gutters have been widened by 3-4 feet, at least

and I'm back... again

I don't know how I should digest to the fact that I can take several months off and get roughly the same daily high score.

Either I am massively skilled (the most likely) or the score is low enough that it is easily achievable with little practice. Actually, it must be the former, as I have 40.75 hours of bowling practice. It would take anyone else a whole work week to get to my skill level. So, massive skill it is.

still adjusting to the daylight savings time change

And I'm back

Took one month off and my skills have not diminished in the slightest. Well, maybe that is not entirely true. The game I didn't record here included a fair number of gutter balls. But I am convinced the latest earthquake made this lane tilt to the right, so I can't be blamed for that.

I have picked up a groupie, one Roderick Fryer, who appears in the video below. He is the one who, at the end of the video, is looking like a quizzical canine confused by the wonder of the Iphone...

If only I had a goal for lots of spares in a row

Ahem...

6'ish strikes in a row

Bowled six strikes in a row today, if you count as a strike when a last pin was knocked over by the pin setter (which I do - your not the boss of me United States Bowling Congress! Additionally, I am writing my Senator to get this rule amended.). A measly few more strikes and 254 is surpassed.

Yet another case of precipitation related bowling score reduction. If I seen this once, I've seen it a thousand times.

A 190 built on spares.

A 190, but made by hitting all the spares. This is no way to get to 254, unfortunately, as my 227 proved. Best possible spares still left me 27 pins short that time. And according to Carl Friedrich Gauss the odds of getting 254 are now up to 1 in 5000'ish. The normal distribution is setting me up for a quite improbable 254 game. This is going to make my 254 all the more sweet.

Another day of progress

Based on my recent scores I have determined my probability of getting a 254 is something like 1 in 3000. These are the approximate odds that an employed person, 16 or older, in Vermont, is a parking lot attendant (Book of Odds). So I've got that going for me.

And welcome to my Spam List, Sam.

Getting form back

Bit of a struggle today

Only the most recent data here. Must always be looking to the future.

Upon a review of the New Year Resolution completion handbook, it is permissible to continue working on a one year goal for more than one year. Who knew. So I will soldier on here until a score >254 is completed. Plus I know everyone would have missed the updates.

And for those of you not in the Idaho Falls Bowl-ero on December 23 in the early afternoon, I bowled a sweet 227 and was a mere two pins from exceeding 254. Oh, the humanity.
