Lasso Golf, also called ladder golf, is this summer’s lawn game craze. If you don’t have yourself a set yet then go get one. I can not remember having this much fun since Lawn Darts. You remember Lawn Darts don’t you? Those wonderfully dangerous flying plastic arrows with the sharp metal tips that you would through back and forth at your friends - I mean try to stick inside the hula hoop. Oh how many a backyard barbeque’s were stop short with 911 calls because someone got speared in the foot, leg or temple by a stray lawn dart?!
Now enters the more safety focused Lasso Golf. The rules to Lasso Golf are similar to horseshoes, bocce ball or lawn darts for that matter. You setup two three-rung plastic ladders about 20 feet apart. Then you get points for getting your lasso - two golf balls tied to either end of a short piece of rope - to wrap around one of the rungs of the ladder. 3 points for the low rung, 2 points for the middle and 1 for the top. Fun game for all. Get yourself a set and invite the neighbors over for a bbq and have a good time challenging each other in lasso golf.
They just don’t make ‘em with this much style anymore. Yes I’m jumping on the vintage bike bandwagon. Just picked up an old Schwinn Speedster off Craigslist. I don’t know much about it yet but I going to learn. It definitely needs some loving. I’m sure just a little grease and some new treads and I’ll be looking like a champ pedaling around my neighborhood!
UPDATE: Just uploaded a video of me and the Speedster to YouTube - check it out.
About a month ago I received my first pet that I can truly call my own. He was a little Betta Splenden fish and I named him Fighter.
Today he passed away.
Sure I grew up with dogs and cats as pets but Fighter was the first pet that I owned as an adult. Pet ownership came as an accident. Fighter was given away as a prize at a birthday party I attended. Whoever won him left him behind. I had pity on the little guy and took him home. I named him Fighter because there were two other Bettas that were left behind who were happily swimming all around their little bowls. Then there was a third little blue one that was just barely moving; looked like he was “fighting for his life”. So I took him home and named him Fighter.
Over the last month I ended up investing quite a bit of money and even more time and care into my “free fish”. It has been very educational to get a small glimpse into the world of aquaria and fish keeping. I’m not sure what went wrong but, I’ll miss the little guy.
