Mission Accomplished

I bought myself a basketball hoop last night. I've been trolling Craig's List looking for one and finally found one that looked good, was cheap enough and was still available when I got in touch with the person.

It's an inground pole with a clear, rectangular backboard that came with a brand new sleeve for setting in the ground. Only $50! It looks like this when it's lying down at its former home.



Right now it is resting against a tree in my backyard. We'll dig the hole and do all the cement stuff shortly. I'll be raining 3s very soon.
