 <title>Quarter Night - New Camera</title>
 <link>http://www.playdromelanes.com/blog/index.php?itemid=53</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been messing around with a newer camera the last few weeks. And I think I finally got it down pat.<br />
<br />
Thursday night (Quarter night) we have the black lights and music going. These types of pictures are generally a nuisance to take due to the black lights and fast motion of the bowlers. I guess this is why you don't see many pictures of this sort. Or maybe because nobody cares about blacklight bowling. LOL!<br />
<br />
Things were a bit slow this past Thursday, so I did some test pictures. They came out decently well.<br />
<br />
You will find some random shots. Some girls wanted their picture on the internet. And Ray Feliciano would also like you to see him bowling. I'll also toss up a video or two in this folder. If you see it, hit the + sign. Then click the download link. This will be a movie of Ray showing you his uber bowling skills in the dark. Or you might be able to view it just by clicking on the file name. This all depends on your web browser and how you have it set up. Some day I'll set it up like YouTube.<br />
<br />
Also, I might make this a normal routine. People bowling in the dark on Thursdays. We will see.<br />

 <title>Helloooooo Summer</title>
 <link>http://www.playdromelanes.com/blog/index.php?itemid=52</link>
<description><![CDATA[As you might have seen, the summer leagues are now posted on the main page. Just a few of the junior leagues are yet to be posted. They start sometime after school gets out, which is the 24th around here.<br />
<br />
This Saturday is the bowler of the year tourney. Starting at 6:30. So stop on by and see how this seasons 'big shots' make out. The top 8 men and 8 women will be there. I will have the results of the tourney on Sunday or Monday and will post them here in the blog.<br />
<br />
The 2nd week the guys finally got warmed up in the Tuesday Match Point league. I expect this should be another high scoring season as the shot is the same as it was last summer, and all the summers before that. Here are the first scores of the summer.<br />

 <title>So long winter season!</title>
 <link>http://www.playdromelanes.com/blog/index.php?itemid=50</link>
<description><![CDATA[Whew! Seemed like it would never end. The snow storms pushed some leagues back at least 2 weeks. The last league will end on June 3rd, which is a senior league. This is crazy!<br />
<br />
The summer Tuesday 4 Man Classic starts tomorrow (the 25th). They tell me that there is somewhere between 14 and 20 teams. But the very last I heard there will be 18. That is how many teams there was last summer. This league produced 14 300's last season and 6 800+ series. Look for more of the same this summer.<br />
<br />
Thursday Night Doubles: This league should be bigger than last year. Jim White tells me there are 23 teams so far! Look for this league to pump out some good scores also.<br />
<br />
Beat The House: Fail. Miserably I might add. Had a total of 6 people sign up for it. This is somewhat depressing. Maybe there were no sign ups because of the 9PM starting time. I would have expected this to be at least 8 teams. I mean, who wouldn't want to join a league and take a chance on not having to pay for bowling? Maybe the economy is in better shape than the media would like you to believe.<br />
<br />
NO TAP League on Thursdays. This night league seems to always be a big hit. And it looks like there will be more teams than last year.<br />
<br />
Look for the summer leagues to be posted on the web site starting around the 2nd week of June.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Talk of the town(s) this week. "Hey, did you hear what happened at 37 the other night?"<br />
<br />
In case you missed it, and for our international fans, here is what went on this past Wednesday night in the Petersen Industrial League.<br />
<br />
<b>Jim Rogers</b> - Had his first <b>300</b> of the season in this league.<br />
<br />
<b>Tony Buczynski</b> - Also had his first <b>300</b> in the Industrial league this year.<br />
<br />
<b>Casey Cruetz</b> - Again, his first <b>300</b> in the league this year followed up with an <b>820</b> series!<br />
<br />
<b>Jim Hanlon</b> - His first 300 of the season in this house. Whoa!<br />
<br />
Jim Rogers and Tony Buczynski, by the way, are on the same team.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the team, they inform me the following screen his the 5th high sanctioned game <b>in the world</b>.<br />
<br />
George Williams - Gerald Cantalupo - Tony Buczynski and Jim Rogers.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.playdromelanes.com/blog/media/1/20100430-1162.jpg">Angel Charlie 1162</a><br />
<br />
And then we have this. Another county record falls. I will dig up the original recaps later on in the week. This will be on the overhead screens.<br />
<br />

<br />
We have never dished out 5 rings in one night! Four 300's and an 800. Another house record!]]></description>

 <title>How its done</title>
 <link>http://www.playdromelanes.com/blog/index.php?itemid=47</link>
<description><![CDATA[The website, overhead screens and advertising are mostly done in 'the back of the alleys' in the shop on the worst of the worst laptops. This HP laptop has been through a lot. Even before we got it, it had lots of hours logged on it. Running Windows XP or Linux operating system, it gets the job done. Right now on the screen a new honor score is getting ready to be made with Photoshop. When the screen is made, then it is saved to a USB drive. You can see that lit up in orange on the right side. Then the USB drive is taken up front to one of the 3 work stations up front and uploaded to yet another one of 3 PC's mounted in the back over the pinsetters. That reminds me. This week I will show you how your scores are all processed from the PC's in the back and saved.<br />

 <title>Enough of the scores for now. Something else.</title>
 <link>http://www.playdromelanes.com/blog/index.php?itemid=45</link>
<description><![CDATA[Originally my plan tonight was to snag all the recent high scores and let you know who is hot. That plan is on hold for another day or so. The newer lane machine had a bit of a problem over the weekend.<br />
In case you didn't know, every lane machine has two tanks in it. One to hold the oil. The other to hold the cleaner. You might not know that the machine will clean and oil at the same time, although it doesn't have to. We normally have the machine do both at the same time. Well, sooner or later someone is going to mess up. And they will put the wrong 'stuff' in the wrong tank. This time someone put cleaner in the oil tank. Yipes! I have seen this happen more than a few times. And its not a pretty sight. The oil and cleaner have a closed system. Kind of like the oil pump in your car. Imaging putting anti freeze in where your oil goes. Yep. That's trouble! So what you get is a white milky solution that will clog anything, including the tubing and filters. While this sounds like a big deal to fix, its really not. Just takes some time and patience. Its mostly all fixed now. I just need to get some new tubing. What we have is a bit old. So new stuff is on the way. And what would a blog be without a picture explaining what I just said? A big fat bore. LOL!<br />

That's all for now. I'll dig up the honor scores on Thursday night. Seeya!]]></description>
