Day 2
Upper ice = 2 coats
Lower ice = 3 coats
The snow was a bit bumping on the lower, we used a blower to get rid of the ridges.
Peter, both Andrews, Craig, John, and Kurt got at it at 7 pm to 9:45 pm.
Great start to the season fellas lets keep it up all week.
7 pm if you can.
I forgot to mention, Dave Anderson's wife came down Sunday afternoon and introduced herself to me. I gave a big hug and passed on all our sadness, having such a great guy helping us and sadly life cut so short. She wanted me to let all of you know about a City bench that she had installed in, Memory of Dave, just west of the rinks and ball diamond near the bridge by the duck pond. She also said she would like to bring down some cleansing ales one of these nights and meet us.

Wow what a snow fall over the last 3 days.
Peter and Kurt got out Thursday night to pack the snow, Then Friday came with a tonne of snow for the next 24 hours. Peter and Kurt repacked Saturday night so we could get some H2O on it this afternoon.
Big thanks to the crew that showed up (sorry about missing a couple of iceguys emails).
Kurt's long time friend from Haysboro SW came out to see what this ice making "thing" was all about...THANKS Dave C.
We have never had this much snow before flooding, so it was new to all of us have to go about creating a good base. We kept the nozzle on to get a good crust, we will take the nozzle off on the second coat and really get the base up.
We are going every night at 7 pm until we have "skate-able" ice. Come on out if you can more the better, but we may do an early shift and late shift, for it is a three man crew right now. We can sort it out as we go.
Here are some photos of the day today...
See you on the ice, well snow right now,
Kurt
