Hockey team goes to 2-0

We won our 2nd game of the season Friday to go to 2-0. It's early yet but I think we have a pretty decent team. I had a goal and an assist. After 2 games I have 2 goals and 3 assists. I even got to play center for the 2nd and 3rd periods. I love doing it, taking faceoffs is a blast and it gives me a chance to make more plays. I usually don't do it when we're short handed (we run 2 centers and 3 pairs of wings) since I'm getting old and don't have the stamina I used to. I did pretty well though and we won 5-2 (same score for both games). I did get stoned on a breakaway though, I'll have to work on my moves some more...

I had some bowling trouble on Saturday. My ball suddenly stopped hooking again. It's the 2nd time it's happened and I still didn't recognize the problem until really late. The new resin balls have a lot of pores that absorb the oil to help it hook. Once the pores get clogged with oil it won't absorb any more and it just won't hook. I'm taking it in to get cleaned and sanded tonight. I need to recognize this problem earlier. I didn't switch balls until the 7th frame of the 3rd game and struck out. Wish I'd done that before. Lowest series of the year at 524... and we lost all 3 games.

Once again a boring world series results in a sweep. Seems like we just can't get a decent world series or super bowl any more. Always one-sided. I see that AssRod opted out of his contract with the Yankees. I guess their offer of $27-$30 million over an additional 5 years just isn't enough for that greedy bastard. Maybe he can sign with the Red Sox now...

Oh, I took pictures of the finished upstairs flooring now that everything is back together. I'll post them when I get a chance.

Remember, Packers/Bronco's at 7:30 tonight!

Rumor here is that AssRod is talking with the Brewers.

The guys at Dream Lanes told me the new balls are needing to be cleaned way more often then most people realized!!

Almost twice a year!

KK, you know as well as I that AssRod would never end up in Milwaukee. Not enough slutty chicks to satisfy him.

Grinder, yes, but it's more often than that. I've only had that ball since the spring and it's the 2nd time it has happened. I got a partial refinish last night. Rob's got a new "oil sucker" machine that he suggested I come back and have done.
