"I Wanna Drive the Zamboni"

Well our group arrived in Ontario after surviving the worst snow storm to hit Saskatchewan since 1969. It delayed us by one day, and so we had to spend an extra night at Youth Farm Bible Camp in Rosthern, SK. It wasn't that bad, we had a movie marathon (in both languages), and played a lot of floor hockey, and some of us even ventured outside into the waist deep snow. We left a -25 (-40 with windchill) Saskatoon, and said hello to +7 Toronto.

Our new house in Shelburne is much newer, and bigger compared to the house in Saskatoon, but the same moisture problems still exist in the house. The boys share a slightly bigger room with a bathroom, while the 7 girls share a room about the same size as the guys with no added benefits.

My job for this placement is at the Centre Duffren Recreational Complex (AKA the Arena). There I do the job that every Canadian dreams about, I drive the Zamboni. Well technically its an Olympia (GM model), but it does the same stuff. I use to think that riding on the Zamboni would complete my life, but driving it is a dream come true. Believe it or not I learnt the same way as the guy on the Master Card commercial did, only I practiced entirely on the Zamboni (not on his truck like he does when practicing doing the boards). When we're not working on the ice we are keeping the rink clean, and fixing anything that needs to be fixing. Its a lot like a farm, the rink is your crop so you care for it, but the rest of the time you are doing what you need to get done.

I am already into billeting, its been fun so far. I hope it contines the way it was been going. I must get to bed now.
