    When i started with this dice control thing i was about 61 or so. i could not figure out why in the world
    i would want to do this. if it took 3-4 years i would be much older, and what in the hell you going to when you are … that old…..i have no idea what happened, either working on dice control made me younger,
    clouded my mind so i dont know how old i really am, or something…..

    at any rate 64 has been fun, this past week was real fun.. our dice team average 65 years old
    and we had a great weekend with lots of money won…… tonight our bowling teams which average
    64 years old set a new high game for the bowling alley… 1376 for one game with 5 guys….it
    was incredible and lots of fun. I dont really like bowling, i have been trying to find a reason to quit, not sure
    what this will do , make it harder to quit or easier since you should go out on top … 😀

    But over-all i guess i have to say if 64 is this much fun i cant wait for 65.

    Wow, 1376 for a 5 man team game is outstanding. If your league is sanctioned, it qualifies your team for an honor score award. But more importantly you would have the 3rd highest sanctioned team game shot in the country by a 5 man team for the 2012 – 2013 season thus far.

    Skinny i gave up drinking when i was about 30 i guess, i had a rum and coke maybe 10 years ago when
    my brother bowling on our team for that year had a 300, and Kevin had a 289 and i had a 335 the same
    game. For me this is all luck, but they are good. The other night i had "2" drinks, maybe i should
    get a award for having two drinks in a night.

    I looked up the all time record for a 5 man team and found out it is 1434. That is only 58 pins higher than your 1376. Furthermore, they were 5 young guys, 3 of whom were still in college when they shot that score. No senior citizens on that team which makes your accomplishment all the more amazing.
