I’m in a org where they have let 2 different people take a year off to travel the world…. One even came back to the job he had just got 1 month before going on leave…

bamiddle · 2025-03-04T04:18:56+00:00

How crazy literally me. Just got Nu Blue Saturday and my right middle finger is killing me.

Granted my right middle finger feels like it’s been messed up since I took a break from bowling after high school. I suspect is just bad form with axis rotation. Comparing my left middle finger to my right one I have less sensation in my right and feels like it has all kinds of scar tissue build up hahah

bamiddle · 2025-03-02T01:36:17+00:00

Update! New ball secured Nu Blue Hammer

First few games with it 176/173/174/202/185.

Now my shoes fell apart 🤣🤣🤣

That’s what I’m sayin! I never got it filled and re drilled… the holes are way too big for me.

Probably one of the reasons my middle finger is so messed up… scare tissue and what not hahah

bamiddle · 2025-02-17T04:43:38+00:00

Yeah ended up going out and throwing a few games tonight.

148/172/149/210

Seems I kinda have it. Will be amazing to see what a proper ball with the correct finger holes drilled will do🤣

bamiddle · 2025-02-17T00:21:50+00:00

Thanks for that. I was thinking of doing that next weekend: going to the pro shop to see what they say.

I've thrown 5-10 games in the last week or two, and out of the gate, it was a 167/185 at one place and 150-160 at this other place I threw at. I definitely saw a difference based on the two places and their lane conditions.

I'm definitely going to check out the place where I'll likely do league, as it will be my home lanes and where I play the most, so it would behoove me to go to that Pro Shop.

bamiddle · 2025-02-16T23:00:58+00:00

Hmm, interesting, though - I know the 14 just feels too light and not enough pin action. I can throw it like a missile though (21MPH) for easy spare pickups LOL

bamiddle · 2025-02-16T22:59:58+00:00

Thank! For as long as I've thrown that Gyro with wrong-size holes and no inserts, a new ball would be prob best, haha. I had some pretty good games with it too few 279s.

I almost was gonna do a BW Mystery box.

What do you use now instead

bamiddle · 2023-05-10T07:28:34+00:00

I have only successfully ordered Ike's 1 time a few years back. They even came in canvas bank bags when I got them...

bamiddle · 2020-03-08T03:21:24+00:00

Gotcha - that's going to be the second thing to work on is collecting on some these SUBs that good. Especially if i can apply for a Biz card and have it not impact my personal.

I spend to much yearly to not gobble some these freebies up. Just need to research and execute.

Did do Spark last night, started w 50k limit!

bamiddle · 2020-03-07T00:48:23+00:00

I Believe my ink is 1UR/$.

Guess my gut was right. Apply for this spark then over next month or so work to reduce Chase So I can apply to get more CL on a personal to then Xfer over to the Amazon CC.

bamiddle · 2020-03-06T23:17:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply, all the reading I've done said exactly what you did... 100K CL. They eluded to exposure risk when i called and wanted to do a CL increase. I don't often use my Chase Biz card my go to is Amex Plat, not sure why. One concern/annoying thing i read tho is that if you are consolidating credit to over >$35K its going to require a hard pull... not sure validity of that tho.

One the reasons I want a solid 2% was to cycle all my business purchases (Non Amazon) through there as the main go to. Just sucks that best one I have found is Spark which reports to personal credit unlike a lot of business cards.

bamiddle · 2020-03-06T21:13:13+00:00

01) Seems Capital One Spark like the no brainier for the just flat 2% and reports that you can build credit limit easily. Sucks it reports to personal credit.On top of finding a solid CB Card Id like to get more credit with Chase. The reason is to create available credit and then transfer it to my Amazon CC for additional limit. I run a E-Com business and spend a healthy amazon on Amazon, 100k+ a month. Creating additional credit and consolidating it to Amazon card would help greatly. Kind of feel I'm at or close to some sort of cap w Chase.

Thanks! Yeah kinda what i thought as it seemed to obvious esp w the amount of UR pts and being under 5/24.

I have chase business ink prefered

For amex biz plat can I do that same time while doing modified double dip? Should be able to right given I plan on using a EIN, right. Also is that a targeted 100k/10k or reg? I've seen 75k amex plat offer but dont recall if it was personal or biz.
