DayGlo Hammers

So how does one justify buying 3 hammers at $35 a pop? Its simple really, make a game out of it.

Home Depot hammers were purchased initially to pound pvc stakes into the groud. Since the work takes place in the forest the bright orange would be easily spottedin the litter.

"Los Hammeros," perverted Spanglish at its peak, was invented by snailers for snailers. Its like horseshoes. There are 3 teams of 2, you throw your hammer and try to get the closest to the pvc stake (which can easily be placed on a beach :-). If your hammer is the closest, you get 1 point, if you're within a handle, you get 3 points, if you get a leaner, that's 5 points. If your team is desperate for points, you can throw over the head backwards to double your points. (Yes, an over the head backwards leaner has been accomplished). The first team to 15 and winning by 2, wins. There are some other rules but those are the main points.

(no snails are harmed in the playing of the Los Hammeros)

A similar game can also be played back in oklahoma with a frisbee, 4 solo cups, and 4 bamboo sticks. Just ask me another time, lol.
