Sunday workout

Thanks to all the iceguys that came out today and this evening.
Bud, Kris, Ellio, Jamie, Peter, Dale, Ross, Ian, Glen, Keith, Kurt, Paulina.
There was quite a bit of snow to shovel and blow off. Starting a 12 noon this Sunday and adding a second shift at 7 PM, we all managed to get the snow cleared and put two coats on the upper and a generous on the lower.
Thanks to Glen for the use of his blower on the lower ice. "Big Bertha" will be in the shop to get a tune up.

I am tired and need to go rest...
Bye
Kurt

Last Year & the Year Before

The Good News is ; We are finally getting some snow.

Football Playoff Sunday

This morning we ( Kris, Jacque, Steve, Peter & Bud ) cleaned the hall after last night's Pub Night. Randy showed up and helped Peter and Bud rake the leaves from the North Side of the hall , we got 35 bags but left 1/4 of them for another day. Peter recruited Randy to help with the rinks and Randy said he has two brothers that will also be ice guys.
Eastern FootBall Final, Montreal 56, B.C. 18. Western Football Final, Calgary 17, Sask. 27. So it's Montreal against Sask. in de Grey Cup. So Go RIDERS Go.

THE NEW RINK

Ok, here's my idea, we go to Heritage Park some night and steal their "Easy Glide" rink. We are getting behind, the rinks where ready by Nov. 27th in 2007 & 08 that's next Friday.

Also

Kurt send me this picture of his recruit, this guy has a fur coat and a dog, looks like he'll fit in.
By the way , according to the pictures Kurt took at the meeting; Bud, Grant, Peter, Biagio, Kris, Keith, Ian, Jamie and Bud's recruit Mike, showed up, Kurt isn't in any of the shots so we are all ahead of him in attendance except for me because l brought Mike l'm two ahead. Here's an idea, l'll keep the attendance. THANKS TO NICK'S FOR THE PIZZAS.

Bye Bye Whale Back

Today was looking more like a regular icemaking day. Ashley, owner of Picturesque Landscaping, was very generous with his time today. He scraped off the "Whale back" that caused us so much grief last year. Big thank you to Ashley!!

We should probably get a "meeting of the ice minds" together soon. I will let Kris pic a date for this. Most importantly to get rid of all the leaves before the snow accumulates. I think the raking of the leaves idea belongs to Peter. (Sorry Bud, the idea guy)

Keep the hose on the ice eh?

Fixing the "Whale Back" before snow

Hello Gentlemen,

I was able to figure out what was wrong in my settings for the blog, and I can one again post.

I have my landscaper that is going to donate some time and cut out the "whale back" before the ground starts to freeze this year. I will stake out the area that needs to be carved out, and we'll put the dirt on the north side of the building.

I don't know the date that this will happen because it is up to the landscpaer's schedule, but I will try to inform you as soon as I know.

Cheers,
Kurt

Summer Rink

It is Sunday June 28th approximately 4.5 months since we shut down the ice. I was doing some testing on the Rosemont Blog to see if I can get my password to work and upload some photos. Gearing up for next year's season of Blogging.
The 50th Anniversary Party was a great success and would like to thank all the people to make it possible and enjoyable.

Your Iceguy,

Kurt
