    "Glad to see you were up and running in time for Christmas David, looked like a beautiful night for a skate!    Pretty rough start to rink season here in MN.  
    I told myself that if I hadn't flooded by Christmas that I'd save the liner and just pass…"

    "Hopefully another good season out there for you, David.    Frustrating year out this way.  Great cold start way back in November, but either been 40's or -5 it seems every week since.    I'd kill for some nice stable upper teen - low 20's weeks…"

    Finishing up my contest video entry was more appealing than the prospect of clearing a fresh inch of freezing rain from my ice this morning, so here it is...

    "I finally had to suck it up and commit to buying a fresh liner every year too.   Lost a few weeks of skating time last year due to patches/repairs that I didn't know I needed until it was too late.   Definitely going to buy a cheap(er) liner and…"

    "Beautiful pic!   Could use some of that sunshine out my way.   Plenty cold, but just enough clouds/flurries to make me clean off the rink every single morning before lacing up the skates, lol."

    "Chris,

    To (hopefully) answer your question, I think you are talking about my water spreader bar riding about 3/4 inch above the ice?   Nothing terribly fancy, I just screwed a couple of stainless eyelets into the bottom of it to hold the rest of…"

    "Be happy to.  Might take a day or two to get at it as it's buried in the back of the shed behind my nets and assorted other rink stuff, but will be able to get at it by this weekend in my mad dash to get the boards up in time for this Friday.  :-)…"

    Skating season is now officially longer than last year's (thankfully)! Too beautiful of a morning not to grab the camera.

    • Magnus Leslie Thanks David.    The netting is held up by 12' aluminum poles that are anchored into the ground with removable screw-in anchors.   Was afraid to try PVC as I'm afraid it would too easily crack/shatter from puck impacts.   As it stands now, after 3…

    "Well congrats, that's a great photo.   We were fortunate to get a nice cold week starting on Thanksgiving so got the rink liner in and flooded on Thanksgiving day.  Highs in the 20's and nights in the teens for 5-6 days afterwards.   Was able to get…"

      Magnus,

      Excellent video of your Tractor Zamboni. Looked like a great project. Hope you're getting some good skating weather up there.

      Hey Magnus, we just went through a repeat of the New Year's slushfest.  Rather than shovel and scrape and rinse and repeat, I am leaving it.  Just came in and you know what? It isn't awful.  It's gritty and where I roof raked its a bit wavy, but I truly believe I am better off than if I would have tried to shovel slush (again).  It was so warm and there was so much water on the ice that when it snowed I actually had a thicker layer of slush than ice.  A fried of mine actually shop vac'd 39 gallons of water from the surface.  still had the troubles.  

      Anyway, I wanted to see how you were doing there with yours

    • DAVID OUTZEN January 6, 2012 at 2:06am

      Magnus,

      Really like the "eyespyfx" on your page! Also was admiring the "old school" hockey goal with the rounded frame in back...where did you get your hands on that?!

      Not sure exactly what we got. The rain before messed with any snow to make a mess. Furthermore, the weight actually broke what little ice there was forcing the unfrozen water up exacerbating the slush problem. I spent about 8 hrs during the cold snap scraping and got 2 light floods on. I'll be happy to get it quasi level by Friday when it warms.  I think i am shelling on my east edge where i was pulling and watwr was most present  Glad to hear things are going better there.   Happy skating!
    • Joe Palamara January 4, 2012 at 3:57am
      Hey Magnus, how's the skating?  Rink looks great.  How did you fare with the slush?
    • DAVID OUTZEN December 28, 2011 at 12:19am

      We had about a 12" snowfall. During an 18-hour period I shoveled it 6 times. Not complaining, though...its a great outdoor hockey tradition. By the way, the rink photos on your page are great!
