The fun of ice making



The reason you always put the paint tank and pump outside. When a hose explodes and white paint sprays 20 feet in the air, the outside of the building is the only thing that gets messy. Except for the two guys who happened to be standing next to it when it happened.

Header change again

Yep, curling has arrived with the start of the ice install yesterday. The good, a couple of new toys to play with including a nipper and a battery powered back pack sprayer. The bad, we are painting over the Labor Day weekend and it is tough getting help. Could be some long days. The ugly, well not too ugly. We seemed to be doing a lot better with the slush problem this year.

All will hopefully be done some time next week. Then the ice will be in use starting on Sept. 12.

And of course it is still baseball season. The Phightins' are holding a nice lead for the division.

Later,
