Bimini Ring Game

I absolutely love fall, and this past weekend was the first one where it really felt like it. Overcast gray days, brisk weather, and plenty of football and comfort food. Although I grew up in an SEC town and went to probably 90% of all sporting events in college because of the different organizations I was in, I really don’t love football. I like the things associated with it – the weather, the dips, the social atmosphere, wearing something cute to the game. But when it comes to the actual game I spend more time looking left and right talking to people than watching the actual game. However, any game that is a “second tier” sport (bowling, horseshoe, bean bag toss, etc…) I love. I was ecstatic when I came home from work Friday and David had bought the materials to install our very own Bimini ring game in our bungalow. For about $10 of materials and 10 minutes of installation time, we now have endless entertainment and competition. All you need is some string, a metal ring, a hook to screw into the wall, and an islet.The hook goes into the wall, the islet goes into the ceiling (about four feet out from the hook). Then you tie the string to the islet in the ceiling and hang the metal hook from the bottom end. Next you stand back and let the ring swing, trying to aim it on the hook. When I get the ring on the hook I feel just like a college football player that makes a touchdown – sometimes I even “Tebow” (kneel with head down), or do a victory dance, depending on the mood. Hope you had a great weekend and thanks for reading
