The First Skate

My girlfriend Laura had her son out skating on the rink last week while I was sleeping off a night shift.


I hooked up the hose to the kitchen sink and did 3 full floods of the rink with hot water. I had a couple of areas that were large raised patches which I spent some more time on with the hot water to try and level it out... It worked pretty good.

While I was gone to my daughters hockey tournament in Moose Lake, MN (they came in 2nd out of 8 teams), it rained a bit and helped to further level out the rink.... but unfortunately its been way above normal, temperature wise, and the rink is soft...

Here's wishing for cold weather!
