Winter Bowling: Sunday Night Mixed

Tonight we played nobody - all the members of the other team were no-shows. By our league bylaws this is not a straight forfeit: their team cannot win any points but our team still has to win each game as if we were bowling against 4 players who bowled 10 pins each under their average. Yeah, we screwed up that 40 pin per-game advantage and only took 6 of 8 points.
My night was good: 168, 210, 222 for a 600 series on the nose. The oil conditions were tough. Uniformly wet in the middle with a lot of carry down, and uniformly dry on the outside (the combination meant there was no funneling effect for hook players). One of my favorite lines just happened to be in relatively good shape and I found it relatively early.
PS, the USBC has stopped issuing patches/badges for achievements like a high scoring game or series. Tonight I got a cheap pen (as opposed to a cheap patch) for a 225 game.
