Two On Two Stick Spiel

Yesterday was terrific fun - up early and on the road with The Frau and meet-up with four other friends from the Tosa Curling Club at the Kettle Moraine Curling Club's Two On Two Stick Spiel.  Without getting bogged-down in the rules the game is played with rinks of two, six stones (delivered with a stick) and no sweeping until the rock crosses the hog line.  If your opposing team is wheeled - no sweeping at all.  It is an awesome way to spend the day honing your stick-delivery skills (speaking as someone with a hip replacement who cannot get down in the hack with dislocating a perfectly fine five-year-old titanium replacement Stryker hip).  But I digress.

Some highlights from yesterday...

And some video.   

If you watch the video feed from the overhead camera the curler just misses knocking-out a scoring red rock in the upper-left view at the other end of the ice sheet.

Great food and fun.
