About Me: What can I say....aside from my wife and family....I pretty much live,eat,breathe and sleep bowling.

Music: Im definately a mood music kind of guy..i.e. Im not always in the mood for the same type of music...I like a variety but my fav. is 80's hair metal followed by bluegrass and classic country followed by whatever is on the current top 20 list...and once in a while some reggae or salsa.

Movies: again...my ecclecticism...(I think thats a word)...will rear its wierd head here...my all time fav. flick is "The Outsiders"...I also liked "Days of Thunder"..."Apollo 13"..."The Saw" series...as well as the old "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare of Elm St."...I also dig most of Tim Burton's movies...basically it ranges from having a real plot...to being incredibly hokey...works for me.

TV: PBA (current and classic) Bowling...Law and Order...IM a TOTAL FRIENDS junkie and I own all 10 seasons on DVD...C.S.I. Las Vegas and Miami(Las Vegas is more technical and cerebral while Miami has a more dramatic feel..both excellent shows in thier own right)...I also enjoy the cooking channel...(my wife is an EXCELLENT cook and I like to try to learn how she makes some of the stuff).

Books: Stephen King...Ann Rule...true crime or horror. Bowling industry trade magazines. The AMF 82 70 parts and maintainance manual...wow...I need to get out more.

Likes: Well...Bowling obviously. I LOVE to eat. Spending time with the select few people that actually manage to understand what the hell im saying once in a while(my way of saying "true friends"). EBAY is my CRACK...just ask the poor guy that drills my equipment...LOL. My job...I am a mechanic at a 20 lane center in Strasburg, Pa...There is NO better sound than an 82 70 just humming along...The sound of a strike on a BRAND NEW set of pins. The rush I get from having an 8 strike run. Bowling well and seeing my friends bowl well. A close match...Im talking single digit close matches...they're the best. When someone says "good work" or "nice shot"...that makes it all worth the while. People with clear goals that are willing to make someone else a part of that goal insted of running over them to get to that goal.

Dislikes: Rude,self centered,self important,vain,classless,people that think thier mere existance is a blessing to this world. Ball returns on lane 1 when im working in the pit on lane 20...LOL. 8 pins...10 pins. When the lane machine runs off the end of the pin deck with 8 lanes left to run and 15 min. left to run them...thats a sickening feeling there...LOL. When I have to ask someone for help...I know that sounds stupid but I've always been that way...even when I know the person Im asking doesnt mind at all.

Hobbies: ummm...bowling (this is getting to be a redundant point huh...lol) I like the occasional trip to the driving range as well. My stereo( us audiophiles are a dying breed) and my computers(which im in the process of tying into the afore mentioned stereo). Playing cards. I also collect old retro wristwatches.

Vices: EBAY....nuff said

Virtues: ummmm....I know patience is a virtue but im about the most impatient person in the world...lets see...cleanliness,honesty and being straight forward..

Heroes: My parents...my wife...and whether they know it or not...all of the people I consider friends are my heroes,each in thier own way. Pete Weber....Wes Malott.

Didnt bowl like I planned in the Baker team tourney today....had nothing to do with equipment....had everything to do with my mechanics being crap today. Hope everyone else's day went better....aside from that I did get to meet some new people which is always a good thing. Hope evryone is well,
