Well.. the centre still has it name for the most dryest lanes...

Left at 7am Wednesday morning for a great long travel time north, we have a couple of stops on the way, me jamming my techno beats down my ears, placing stinky shoes near my under my ball drillers seat and then getting them thrown back at me... at 4:30ish pm... we get to our place... so the coach drives in etc... Nice little place, Its summer here atm... and its normally 30+... but it was a nice 23-24 degrees, team unpacks the bus, we get the key to your room... 2 other ppl staying in my room with me, my doubles partner from 05,06,07,08 and a person from another centre who got asked to bowl for us.

so we unpack, order 20 pizzas for around 25 ppl.. and we played some poker... pizzas got here... me and my doubles partner took 2 full pizzas... we were hungry... and played more poker... talked on the phone for a hour or so... and i got to bed at 2am... lol

Thursday
got up at 8:30... got changed and went for a swim in the pool... best thing i had done for ages... just layed there for awhile... did a couple of laps... got out at around 11ish maybe... did some shopping so we can eat for the whole tournament.. went back to the motel... got on some bowling clothes and went to bowl a doubles challenge with the Best Male Bowler of 07 and some other good bowler.. my partner was of course... my doubles partner i have had for years, lucky us... we got to bowl with the challenge team lol(not really lol), so we bowled pretty crap.. i wasnt adjusting enough. oil like going everysingle second... around the 2nd game i think... i adjusted to about near the capping... i slipped pretty bad... and i smashed my knee cap on the capping and did my shoulder during this... so i just took it easy for the rest of the challenge.. we finished bowling at around 8pm... 8:30ish me and my friend went to the bottle shop to get some drinks:)... drink total 1... 3 left


Friday... with my knee sore... my shoulder killing me and with the actually tournament starting today, i got changed again and went for a swim... just sat in the pool... and boy it did some wonders!... got out... the youth had a little team meeting and lunch... jumped back in the pool.. out again...had a shower... had a early dinner.. to be bowling 6:30pm... so we rock up, the juniors were still bowling had some team photos taken... they opened the tournament and we starting to bowl.. i got out my black widow pearl, black ice and clear.. first shot... pearl hooked at half way... well i packed away my cherry vibe and my black widow pearl after the first ball... had a decentish lane with my black ice... by the 3rd game(we had 7 games) my strike ball was my plastic... stand on around 30 board out to 5... if that gives you how dry they were. by the last game i was lofting a little bit of the capping... out to 5... we finished bowling at 12:30am and all of us needed a drink... so i was only planning to have 1... but i had 2.. drink total 3. 1 left

Saturday... woke up... and well i got dragged into the pool... we stayed in there for like 3-4 hrs ... just talked and swam... had some lunched, went to the bottle shop again... played more poker... had some dinner... off to the bowl again for a 5pm start... bowled another 7 games.. with my shoulder and knee better.. i got add more ball speed.. my averaged jumped up alot, still used my plastic... finsihed earlyer

1 of the other teams were staying at the same place as me... so we both decided to have a drink with each other, so i had 5 drinks to drink, i thought to myself... nah i'm going to have one... hmmm... well 1 went in 5 mins.. so i had another one... that went in 5 mins to... so i decided i gotta slow down, had a tv dinner.... with like 5 glasses of water... walked a friend back to her room... got back... had another one... this one took me 35-45 mins, then i had a another one after that.. took me 10 mins... the drinks hadnt taken effect yet... had some water... found that the toilet light switch controlled the smoke alarm... so all of us drinking... we were on the floor laughing... for like 5 mins... so me and my friend decided to go back and get my some more drinks.. me on my last... got up and well i was lil bit out of it... still walking fine tho... came back... sat down... had my last drink... took me around 30 mins, then we decided to scare the crap out of a couple who bowled on there team by pushing the test button on there smoke alarm.. when it happened.. we were on the ground laughing our heads off soooo much...

by this time... drinks had taken effect... and we decided to call it a night at 4am:).... now who has tired to get up a ladder.. on a triple bunk... a little bit tipsy... and i had to get to the top bunk... i had fun.. drinks total 8... 0 left..

sunday
had to wake up at 8(no hang over)... opps lol.. presentation was on... team had came 2nd in the hcap section and i think 4th in scartch... i got 9th all star... only reason i know i was 9th is because there was a all star tournament for the top 8... and i was 1st reserve...

we got back to the motel... i wasnt going to drink anymore.. so i got a bottle of coke and drunk that for the rest of the night... went swimming, talked... said bye to the other team that was staying there...
