They can't even sharpen hockey skates properly here. They're supposed to have a grove, but they grind them flat. I'm not impressed. I'm sure they have the right equipment, they just don't know how to use it, or they're trying to save cost on grinding stones... (probably both)

Heck, there were puddles/slush on the ice this weekend, so maybe they're also trying to reduce that. I'm going to ask them if I bring my own grind stone, and pay the sharpening fee, if I can do it myself.

Still, I'm just happy to be skating again :)

Flatter grind means more glide, good for figure skating. Deeper/hollow grind for more grip, which is better for hockey.

Also good for speed skating. But I got hockey skates, because I'm a(n old) hockey player.

I want my groove back!

Going good thanks had a breakdown today and had to rush to finish parts for the company. Luckly it was out of nylon so we could machine it quickly.

Nice wish it worked that easy in my workplace. Seems like i'm gonna get wet on my way home today :p

No rain for us only a ligh drizzel this morning just enough to dirty up my car.

Yeah my bike got dirty as well yesterday while riding back from potch, got a bit wet but not too much. I don't mind the rain but i do mind the motorists that forget how to drive when it rains.

Good morning everyone
