Heard it in Puk too, floating in the lake, was an experience of a lifetime.

2023 CFL Draft Discussion
I need to review and upload the video but just standing on the deck last night was spectacular. I have been told that even those in the city could see them through the light pollution that is city living. I have not seen anything so bright and intense since the summer I spent in Pukatawagon.

The Aurora Borealis last night was quite spectacular.

We always seem to intend to as the clips they promote are good but usually miss it doing other things like enjoy a Manitoba summer.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this one before or not but it is nearing the end of curling season and Willy Dogs will be leaving the Deer Lodge Curling Club for the summer carts. They are currently available on Skip and have some incredible home made food. The burgers are incredible and the fries are some of the best I've had even after riding in a Skip car to get here. Last day of the season is April 8th and the menu starts being reduced April 1st as supplies run out and aren't replenished. Their SOKO burger is a charity burger and in March $3 from every burger goes to Special Olympics. (Shown with the Gluten Free Bun)

Bud Grant’s biography “I did it my way” is an excellent read. One of the best sports biographies I’ve read.

Ed Tait as a Bomber staffer is still less biased than those too.

Upcoming Movies
I would need to subscribe to a service that offered that before I could do it. I’m okay with waiting, it’s probably been a month since I checked to see if any links were active.

I found it on Film+ but none of the links worked the last I checked, planning on trying again this weekend.

One of my favourite genres is British crime dramas with, Line of Duty (Netflix) being my all time favourite. Started season 2 of The Capture (Amazon Prime) this weekend and am really enjoying it.

Grilling / Cooking (mostly grilling)
Co-op had the twin packs of pork tenderloin on sale for $3.99/lb this week. Walmart was twice the price. Safeway has asparagus for $3.49/lb and for February a nice tender size too. Did a quick indirect smoke on the tenderloin and grilled the asparagus. Pretty fine Sunday dinner. https://opeforum.com/attachments/6d1eda12-cf65-4cac-8a2c-15a7d17caac7-jpeg.364657/ https://opeforum.com/attachments/58dd9b2d-29d0-4f3a-9966-bcb86251e973-jpeg.364658/

I too must turn in my Winnipeg card, Cathay House was just never on my radar. Now “special green tea” at Sumhay at 3am, that’s something I am familiar with.

I think for the first time in his career I have a level of respect for Sankey. I wonder if the rest of the facts would have been shared from the agent if asked, or if we get to hear them once he signs somewhere.

Why settle for decent when exceptional is available? I can’t understand your fixation with lousy chain restaurants. Winnipeg has so many options of scratch made food of so many types it’s insane nor to take advantage of the variety. Made the trip to Taverna Rosa for lunch today, absolutely incredible Greek cuisine.

Question for the Winnipeggers
I did not see the mention of the CTD, can’t support them as great citizens when Brad Roberts hates the city and often talks down about it and how much better life was once he moved to Vancouver. Popularity does not make someone great. Have I offered names? I couldn’t bring any that aren’t already mentioned and to me the question is too vague. First define Winnipegger and define great. Aif the requirement is born here and impact on the world Sir William Stephenson is second to none. If the requirement is impact on Winnipeg and Manitoba the list is very different. The one thing that this thread proves is that our city and home punches above its weight class in so many categories.
