  • Time to make the doughnuts....
We all went to a birthday party yesterday.
With three hours of free time we decided to take advantage of it....
So we went bowling as that was where the party was at.

At Sunset Lanes they have a MPH indicator on the screen for the previous throw.

I found out that my average throw is 20 MPH with a high speed of 22.
Donielle was throwing a consistant 13 MPH.

For not having bowled really at all since I was injured I did rather well.
128, 129, and 142.

Then we came home and am now sore.....

 :2up:

Fun stuff.
I think we are going to bowl more often as my ball Doug and her ball Betty Nuggs want to play more often.
The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

Well, yesterday I went and saw my mother whom I had not seen since the beginning of Dec.(bad girl) came home worked on a school project, today I have to write a paper and read a couple of chapters from two different books, try to work some more on my creative genius I picked for my art genius Jackson Pollock we will be showing our genius this Thursday. My weekends are pretty much the same write papers, read, and practice sign language.

so here what i have done these past 5 weeks.

it all started xmas morning with my grandpa getting life flighted over to the hospital in Boise Idaho. been going back and forth every other weekend.  he is not doing very well but hanging in there.
pick from 2 weeks ago


two weeks ago we got a phone call about my mother in law. she has terminal caner which we knew but got the call that she has a max of 6 months left. honestly we are luck she is still alive to be honest.
pick from 2 weeks ago


but the fooken icing on the fooken cake was getting this pick of my daughter today


DOC said she may have Asthma. that's what may be causing her to have a hard time breathing. he also said it may be acid reflects that may be causing it. That's better than what my head was saying....


on top of all this in thew last 5 weeks my brand new car took a chit for the second time and is in the shop.

it has been the hardest 5 weeks of my life. in the last 5 weeks i have put 8500 miles on my car. 6500 of those i put on in the last 2 weeks driving over to Charleston West Virgina so my wife could see her mom for the last time.

At least your daughter is still smiling J. That sure is a lot to take in for any one person. All I can say it make sure you get anything you need to off your chest with your grandpa and mother in law... If you have anything to come clean on. Maybe you won't time to go over your entire list of things  :rotflmao: And get as much time in as you can for sure  :2up:
