Shuffleboard

One of the things that we are involved in with our community is running the shuffleboard games every two weeks (on the alternate Saturdays are the Cornhole games). Today we had 18 people show up to play on our 5 courts.

Every time we get ready to play, I go into the tiny game storage room and wax the bottoms of all the discs. It is done with a bar of special hard wax and a spinning disc machine that is run by a foot control (like a sewing machine has). Then as the spinner slows down, I buff the discs too. That means I do this 40 times (8 discs per court). Then we also sweep and wax the courts by sprinkling special wax pellets that are more like a powder. This helps protect the finish on the painted courts and the discs fly! Dave and I were really on our game today and won almost every time. After everything was put away, I posed in our wagon we use to bring all the equipment out to the courts and back. I could have used that ride back home from the clubhouse, but Dave and his bike would have struggled. 😉  We are a pretty funny couple of old goats celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary!
