Hard to believe it's getting close to that time.  League meetings are in 2 weeks.  The mailers go out July 24th to remind everyone..  Below is the quick list of leagues with their meeting dates and times.  If you can't make the meeting, give Randy or Mark a call to let us know of your intention.   Also, as always, don't forget to bring your equipment.  It's 3 free games after the meeting to help get the cobwebs shook out.

Let's see... what did we do all Summer.....

Well for one thing, I've gotten a lot more golf in than normal.  Been playing every Sunday morning at my favorite course, Ironwood in Wauseon.  A buddy and I spent 3 days in Indiana hitting a few great courses.  Golfed pretty well for me.  Had a 40 on the back 9 at Cobblestone, making a good day out of a 55 front 9.  The greens were lightning fast with the lack of rain and my putter refused to work.  WAY too many 3 putts.  Other than that day, hit around high 80's on the other 2 courses and that's about right for me.

Pretty quiet around these parts, lots of boring old machine maintenance.  I've been projecting with the website these past few weeks.  If you have ever been on the scratch site on this site, you've seen where I'm going with this year's project.  I truly think that I'll have the new stuff operational by the time we crank up week 1.  I'll be using last year's scores/database to test the new stuff.   When that day arrives, I'll put a little blurb in this section at the top so you can take a sneak peek also.

For anyone looking to join us for league bowling this season:  The Saturday and Sunday leagues bowl every-other weekend.  Those leagues are open-ended so there is no such thing as being too big.  In other words, there's always room for one more team.  Contact us if you're contemplating joining one of the weekend mixed leagues.  Some are ma/pa (2 men/2 women), some are any mix.

Saturday morning Juniors bowl every Saturday and league sign-up day will be Sept. 8th at 9:00 AM.

Sorry about the delay on the "captions" for Paulie's picture.  Here's the reply's I got.  Most are pretty funny.  You folks are funnier than I thought. Here 

Tami and Clare are going to get me finals for the men and women's team events Sunday night.  I should have them posted before I leave the building Monday.  I'll mention it when I update from this weekend here.

Ladies Henry County Team Event.   These standings are VERY unofficial.  I can't do the same handicapping procedures that the USBC uses.  It's close, but off a pin or two on the team handicap.  This gives you kind of an idea where things are roughly, however. Updated after Saturday's (2/17/07) 1:00 PM Squad  Team

Well, it's official.  We'll be opening normal hours Monday.  No buggies in the line, just a coupla big-ass holes in the ground.  I wonder.  They took the dirt from the holes away after digging.  Dey bringin' it back???? I have a little contest for ya'.  Here's the pics More Pics were added Sunday.

The Henry County Mens Team Tournament is rollin' at Hamler Lanes.  As Clare sends me info, I'll put it here.  I'll probably get it updated on Monday evenings.  That's the game plan anyway. Also has squad listings of number of openings available per squad.  Last Updated: Feb 11th @ 1 PM.    Team

I have WAY too much time on my hands this weekend. With us being closed until Monday morning, I'm into a project. I've wanted to overhaul the website for 2 years now and now I have a chance to tweak a bit. Here's what I need to know from you folks. Some of the things I want to do will be predicated on you NOT having a slow connection (aka:dial-up). I need feedback. Send me an email at: mark@bowlaway.com and let me know if you're dial-up or DSL or Cable. It will have a LOT to do with how I program these next few weeks.

For example: I want to make the standings dynamic so that if you roll over certain sections of the standings, the pair's recap comes up in another section of the page. This means that I have to load all the scores for every bowler, even though only one pair is up at a time. But, if I have all the scores loaded, the change in the grid is instantaneous and the client doesn't need to make a call to the server to get the info. Understand? <grin>.

Anyway, give me a shout and let me know. Thanks folks. By the way, for the time being, I'll still have this page available for the old way of doing things. I'll be testing on another link and I'll let you know when it's active so we can work together with what works great and what isn't so cool. I'm also assuming most are running Microsoft IE. I'll try to make it Foxfire compatable after it's done

OH MY GOODNESS BATMAN !!! Tragedy strikes ol' River City.  Tuesday afternoon Randy gets a heads up that there's water in the foyer of the main entrance.  No biggie, he figures.  Well.... (as it works out, literally).  He and Paulie spend 7 hours sucking out water outta the walls before the main shut-off could be excavated and killed.  When the digging started, who knew what we were in for.  When all was said and done, the water main coming into the building had broke just inside the wall, about 4 feet down at the elbow.  Ouch.    Here's the pics thus far  

Now on to important things.  Leagues were cancelled Wednesday and Thursday nights.  Since the city needs to run a buggy killer that takes 48 hours to complete, we're hoping to be up and running Saturday evening.  Hoping.  That cancels Friday bowling and Saturday bowling at least until 5 pm.
