Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin.     More fun for Father’s Day?   We’ve become fans of BucketGolf…the very portable and fun way to set up an instant mini golf course in the yard or in a park.  We like the family fun and innovation.   If the name is familiar…you may remember the company from Shark Tank …where it hooked an investment from Mark Cuban.    Another Shark Tank veteran is Rapid Rope.   For outdoor loving Dads Rapid Rope is a utility rope that is super strong…in a clever dispenser that cuts the rope to the length needed and stores the rest.   It’s on Amazon, in Lowes and can be really useful.   The site is RapidRope.com.  Another handy gadget is the BoostHero all in one portable jump starter, flashlight and powerbank.   Smartly designed and great to have in emergencies.
