RC Short course truck racing has taken the place of bowling.

I'm waiting for this to be delivered in a few days.

Jim got a Power Wheels Jeep for the baby, but she's too little to even reach the pedals. I want to look into converting it to an r/c. I've seen online where people were able to do it.

Damn I miss bowling. I bought a $300 ball the year I quit and moved to PA.

The ball I bought last year was like $225. It was the first one I bought in years.
It was the new version of my old ball. A Storm Virtual Gravity.
I tried it for almost half the year and I just couldn't get it to work right.
It hooked way to much.
I put a lot of spin on it, and it turns out this ball is made for heavy oil.

So I looked around and found one for medium/light oil. The guy sold it to me for $135, and that included drilling and plugs.
And I think I'm going to love this one.

My ball is a Storm. It had ridiculous hook. I had to completely change the way I bowled. On real wood I was all the way to the left gutter throwing at the right gutter and most of the time it would still hook early.

I would love to have the time/money/places to go, to get into that stuff.
It would be like a dream come true for the kid in me.

It starts off small and then becomes an obsession. I'll have $1000 into this truck when put my electronics into it next week.

This is about the same size (5th scale). My friend has one of these.

I had to do that too. And hold it different to take out as much of the spin as I could.
My average with it, was 15 to 20 pins lower than it was with my old ball.
But my old ball was getting all chipped up so I needed something.

I found a perfectly square stone this afternoon while I was bailing material

[Joe]

That is not perfect.

[NussieT]

That is not perfect.

It was pretty damn close. It's now many stones.

[Chip]

That is not perfect.

In Canada, that's close enough

[LeNeve]

I want a big tractor to dig holes with.

[LeNeve]

That is not perfect.

In Canada, that's close enough

It's a petrified ice cube artifact from an ancient igloo.

[LeNeve]

hopefully she digs up Encino Man next.
