Have you been wondering like I have if I am ever going to skate again or write about skating?? Well I have and I feel awful about it. Not really awful just kind of helpless because the weather is not agreeing with what I would consider near perfect. It has been raining a lot for one, for another the temperatures have dropped down below what I would consider comfortable outside. The problem with the rain is the tarp. Yes, I have to keep this giant tarp covering the ramp to keep her dry. See, I covered the surface of the ramp with Masonite, not a particularly weather resistant surface. I do have weather proofing agents covering the actual surface, but even then the Masonite could absorb moisture which would cause the surface to buckle or distort. Why I covered it is Masonite in beginning is starting to make me wonder why. I should have used some nice plywood. It would cost about the same but I would not have the overly difficult process of keeping it tarped. The tarp is such a pain in the arse that I dont even want to untarp is and then have to turn around and retarp it. Then there are the leaves that have fallen, they are to many. Glady, they are just about to stop falling since there are no more on the tree next door.
So I will keep you posted, when I untarp it I will skate it.
