Rockpile – 2-1-2017
We had yet another “700” series bowled last week. Mike Wink put up a 718 series last week on the Hometown League. Mike sports a 193 average and bowls on the M&M Bar Team.
Here are a few other nice series rolled last week: Brian Casey – 675, Tory Elmer – 649, Brent Standaert – 640, Ben Krosnoski – 620, Tim Veenendaal – 651, and Dennis Ohman – 611. On the Ladies circuit: Cindy Rassbach – 597, Shari Wink – 542, Peg Obermueller – 530, and Cheryl Standaert – 504.
Our 9-Pin Tournament gets underway this coming weekend as we have a crew from St. Paul coming in on Friday night and a squad from Colfax bowling on Saturday. Dates and times are filling up fast, so call or stop in to see what’s available.

Tickets
My buddy, Phil, has two tickets for the 2017 Big Game, both Box seats. He paid $3,700.00 for each ticket. He didn’t realize when he bought the tickets that the game would be on the same day as his wedding – so now he can’t go. If you are interested and would like to go in his place, it’s at First Community Church, in Atlanta, GA, at 4 p.m. Her name is Tiffany, she’s 5’3″, about 110 lbs., great cook, good looking, makes $200K a year!
She will be the one in the white dress. Let me know …
Birdie with a yellow bill, hopped upon my window sill, cocked a shining eye and says: “How did you do when you fell in the oil…well???” Bee Boop!!
