So Ricky and I were talking about going ice skating for a week now, and we finally went. I was really excited about it. Last week, I bought all that hockey gear with skates, and tonight I finally got to try them out on the ice. It was so much fun. I obviously have a lot to learn, but I still had a blast. I skated forward and tried going backward, but that proved to be a lot more difficult then I imagined to to be. But I’m looking forward to learning, and eventually playing hockey. Sweet.

Me on the Ice…

Ricky on the ice…

So last weekend I was down in San Diego and I met up with Earl. Earl had some hockey gear for sale, so I contacted him to see what the deal was. So I went down to meet up with him on Saturday and checked it out. It was all in really good shape, and fit me great, so I went ahead and picked it up. Now I just need to get my truck fixed, and take care of a few other loose ends before I start to play.

Tonight, Ricky and I will try and go up to Ice Town and do some skating. I’m pretty excited about it. It will be my first time on the ice since January 2001. The last time I skated, I was in Germany and by my Aunt Marias hosue was a frozen pond that we were able to go ice skating on. So my cousins Martin, Pia, my sister Roxane, my Brother In-Law Matt and I all skated around. It was kinda freaky the second day at times thought as you could hear the ice crack. Thats a bad sign, a very bad sign. So we decided it was in our best interest not to continue with that activity.

Im about to sell my Dodge Transmission (A518, 46RH). I just dont have the time to mess with it, and for just a couple hundred more, I can just get the one in the truck rebuilt. So we’ll see what happens there.
