First things first, I'm down with a flu and to make things worse, a sore throat came along; together, the flu and sore throat form a powerful force of discomfort, and swallowing is really uncomfortable, irritating, uncomfortable, and ermmm, did I mention uncomfortable?
Alright, thankfully, training was good, other than the viruses causing a little discomfort. Hmmm, the conditions were great, light - medium oil, oiled to quite some length, probably 43 feet? Not really sure. But, it was not very bad, cause' I could find the pocket within the first 5 throws. :D Anyway, after the practise throws, Uncle Henry set different spare shots for us, and he set up a 4-7 spare shot on my pair of lanes. Guess what? I missed nothing, which means I hit everything. Haha, great satisfaction and also the accomplishment. After that, we moved to the pair of lanes to the right, with 6-10 spare shot. Pretty alright, I hit everything except 2 shots, I think, one was a 'chop' leaving pin-6 and the other was way off, probably 3 or 4 boards right, which means my ball ended up in the gutter. I think it ain't that bad. Hehe.
Alright, the next one was difficult, cause' we were supposed to hit a perfect pocket. The spare shot was 1-3-5-7 for the right-handers and 1-2-5-10 for the left-handers. I only got 1 perfect pocket, and a few cross pockets, others were really off. Hmmm, not good... but, I'll work hard, definitely. Next were buckets, 2-4-5-8. Hmmm, could convert it pretty often, ain't that bad. Hmmm, after that, time was up. Uncle Henry talked to us and we were dismissed.
After that had lunch, and played a few games with the MB gang, except ZX. Hmmm, wasn't very good, cause' I couldn't find the pocket, the lanes were quite toasted. Imagine, I played 20 - 15, and end up having a 1-2 pocket strike. The middle part of the lane which is supposed to be oilier, were really dry. After the first game, I decided to tame it down a little by opening up my pinky, which helped quite a bit. Thankfully.
We played till around 1500 hours, then I proceeded to collect my spare ball from Uncle Walter, since everyone wanted to stop already. Went home after that.
Great day man, couldn't ask for more. Hope everyone have a great week ahead!
