4-Wheelers

The keys are usually hung behind the stairs.

Currently the green works well, the other has a low battery and may need to be charged.  The extension cord is in the box with the 4-wheelers and the battery charger is in the bottom drawer inside the entry hall closet.  The extension cord can be plugged in the light in entry hall closet.

To get to the battery locate the panel behind the seat.  It should lift easily because the screws are missing and it just snaps into place.  

Be sure and gas up before you leave.  If you empty a gas can, be sure and take it down the mountain, refill it and leave with Dorothy if you can't get it back up the mountain.

Shuffleboard

 The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent by either knocking his pucks off or by sliding your pucks past his into a higher score zone.

A typical game (partners or singles) is played to 15 points

Let's Begin:

A coin toss determines who shoots first and who gets the hammer. The winner normally takes the hammer and loser picks the color of
puck she will shoot.

Player A begins by shooting one of his colored pucks. Player B shoots the other color. Players then rotate shots until all eight pucks have been shot. If a puck doesn't cross the foul line closest to the player shooting, it must be removed and the shot forfeited.

After all eight pucks have been shot, the players determine who scored by counting only the pucks closest to the end of the table and are the same color. If a player has more than one puck closer to the end of the table then his opponent may also count those pucks.
Remember, only one color can sore per frame. A puck must be completely inside the score zone to receive the points in that zone.

The team or player that scores in that frame must shoot first in the next frame. This process is repeated until one team or player reaches 15 points.

Before play, lightly sprinkle shuffleboard surface with granules to allow pucks to freely slide.  It is probably under the bench, in Harry Potter's Hallow or in the furnace closet.  There may already be enough on the board when you arrive, and you probably won't need to add any.
