Day 75: Passing To Bob

It was a school day today (weird, isn't it), so for most of the day I cleaned the house and black bagged some closets now that the kids aren't home judging me for throwing away broken crayons and McDonald's toys.

After school today, Cam tried out his new gadget Brad made him for practicing hockey off the ice. We already have the "ice", a finished plywood board with furniture polish rubbed on it and a cheap plastic net at the end for him to practice shooting. But we wanted him to also work on stick handling and passing/receiving, so, with the help of Pinterest, Brad built a passing "bounce back" device, using materials already floating around in our garage: two pieces of wood, a bungee cord, and some hooks. 

The idea is, when he passes the puck to it, the puck bounces off the bungee cord and returns to him. He can do this over and over and over at any distance. 

Because we didn't know what to call this thing, we named it "Bob", and pretended it was another hockey player. 

So Cam spent half an hour or so passing the puck back and forth to "Bob". 

This cost us zero dollars and works like a charm. Great work, Bob.
