    They just took the batteries out. When they called, I requested they leave the batteries out.

    There will also be no Zamboni for these games. These teams suck, right... so no gift of good ice. If the ice is rutted, ice shavings pile up, etc... TOUGH BOOBIES.

    I received word from the Skating Club in Wilmington, DE. The carbon monoxide detector had been beeping all night, so they took the batteries out.

    Also, to prevent another "Elba," we are limiting attendance to tournament officials, the locals we hired to be refs, and Guy Fieri.

    I said we didn't want that, you big silly. If the ice looks too good, we have ways of making it not so good.

    Report from Marty the Cat at the summit of Mt Washington is that unseasonably warm temperatures have softened the ice in the upper parking lot. But, the forecast is for lower temperatures soon, so Games On.

    Guten Tag. I've been lazy following this thread. Now that Tech has made the Frozen Feeders, I'm trying to get up to date. Is that Odessa Texas or Odessa on the Black Sea in Russia or the Ukraine? If so I think we have badly heightened our standards by holding tournaments overseas.

    Update from Odessa. Since the assistant commish is on vacation, he gave his cell over to a German barista, pretended not to know English, and requested translation into German.

    From what I gather, it sounds like ICE is planning some kind of visit/raid at the rink in Odessa during the regional games. That's all I was able to understand, from translating it back into English in my head.

    That's all for now, Gute Nacht!
