Would never know I went to school in New Prague so they were never in our division/conference.

I think things have changed. Apple Valley does have money based on what I've seen the past few years, but I don't think our team is eating cake. No one's driving a MB or Porsche to practice or games, and none of us are spending the night in RW or Stillwater.

I've heard that Jefferson, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, and Edina are the ones that most people watch out for. Apparently, Woodbury and Cottage Grove don't like each other even though they're in the same district.

BTW, our team won tonight vs Cottage Grove. They have a nice arena out there. I actually took my jacket off while watching the game.

Aaron, I was tempted to stop by and check out your ice. I bet it's freezing really nicely now. Wow, it's cold out there.

not much love between CG and woodbury... CG is on the down swing and woodbury is on the up. Now throw east ridge into the mix and we have a complex rivalry.

Park has a very nice arena... built back when CG was the dominant community. CG and woodbury shared the arena (and the football stadium) for many yrs.

my rink will need to be reflooded. too warm last night and we lost too much water. will reflood again thursday

Too warm? WTF...lol

AV and Eastview have a rivalry, or so I just found out. We have a game this weekend.

My aunt-in-law was telling me about CG vs WB. She used to work in the schools in CG.

Let me know if you ever wanna get a scratch game going. I'd be down for bringing Brandon over and playing a small game. Don't laugh at me...

Why is there so much talk about figure skating on a car forum?

Well took my truck in to get worked on (figured I'd put that warranty I paid extra for to use) and got a new power steering pump put in it along with new u-joints and a new seal up by the front diff.

Good job, Greg! My van needs a lot of work, but I just don't have the time or the motivation.

Janik, I might have to hire you to detail my car in the spring.

Dave, just let me know when. White cars make a lot of people think that they wont notice a proper paint correction, but man, does white really pop when buffed.




Anyone else want a detail, let me know come spring! Otherwise if you have a heated garage, we can do them over winter as well.



I am ready for warm weather again! I want to get my mods for the G and go cruising!

Nice stuff, Greg.
