I adore watching ice hockey.
When we were younger, all the guys and I played youth hockey together, and we continued to play even after moving up to a higher league.
We brought our wives or girlfriends to the skating rink with us now that we were out of school, and they cheered us on as we played ice hockey. The ice had already melted last week when we were all at the skating rink. I assumed there had to be a justification for why the ice skating rink had to be shut down. I went to the front desk and inquired about the length of time it would take to completely freeze the skating rink. The young lady replied that she wasn’t sure. Although they had called the HVAC company, no one had yet arrived. We have a job to do, I said as I turned to face my friends. I was confident that we could fix the ice skating rink and get it ready for use because two of us were HVAC technicians. I informed her that the HVAC professionals had shown up to save the day and had gone to the location of the frozen unit. To fix the air conditioner and begin the freezing process, took close to an hour. In order to ensure that the skating rink froze uniformly, they brought out the Zamboni and began spreading a fresh layer of water on it. The freezing happened while we were sitting around eating hot dogs and french fries, but the HVAC professionals saved the day. When the HVAC company technician eventually showed up, the game was already halfway over. At least we didn’t lose any money because I was employed by the HVAC company they called.
